Supreme Alchemist
Chapter 91 - 91 91 Return to Ling Wu City

91: Chapter 91: Return to Ling Wu City 91: Chapter 91: Return to Ling Wu City Ling Wu City, the Long Family’s residence.

A month has passed since the Bai Family’s massacre of the Long Family.

In that battle, more than two hundred members of the Long Family fell, and the five elders were clinging to their lives by a thread.

The gates of the Long Family Mansion were tightly shut, with everyone immersed in mourning.

Three carriages stopped outside the mansion, and Long Yan and his companions descended from the carriages.

“Let’s go in!”

At this moment, none of them felt the joy of homecoming.

Their hearts were filled with a sour pain.

Even now, the smell of blood still permeated the air.

Long Cangqiong took a deep breath and pushed open the front gate.

“Who’s there?”

Just as the gate was pushed open, a shady-looking fellow sprang out from the side, holding a big knife in his hand, his gaze filled with vigilance.

“The Master of the House?”

The shady-looking fellow was none other than Zhang Yibai.

He rubbed his eyes to confirm he wasn’t seeing things.

Then, throwing his big knife to the side, he fell to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably.

“Master, you finally returned, I thought…”

Long Cangqiong’s brow furrowed as he looked around the scattered leaves in the courtyard; clearly, no one had cleaned up for a long time.

The only person left in the entire courtyard was Zhang Yibai.

“Where is everyone else?”

Long Cangqiong asked.

“Don’t even ask!”

Zhang Yibai wiped the tears from his eyes, replying in a choked voice, “Those heartless bastards all ran away, fearing that the Bai Family would come to annihilate the Long Family.

I’m the only one left.”

Despite Fang Tiancheng’s desperate efforts, the Long Family wasn’t annihilated by the Bai Family, but the Long Family had suffered grave losses.

The battle also left a deep scar in the hearts of the servants.

Fearing that the Bai Family would return, all the servants and guards fled, leaving only Zhang Yibai behind.

“Little Bai, from today onward, you are the Chief Steward of the Long Family.”

Long Yan stepped forward, speaking earnestly to Zhang Yibai.

From his actions, it was clear that Zhang Yibai’s loyalty to the Long Family was absolute.

“Young Master, you’re not dead?”

Hearing a familiar voice, Zhang Yibai looked up to see his brilliant and heroic young master.

He immediately hugged Long Yan’s leg, sobbing uncontrollably.

His tears and snot smeared Long Yan’s pants leg, his heartbreaking crying was a pitiful sight.

Long Yan felt a shiver run up his spine; he glared at Zhang Yibai, thinking, ‘What do you mean by I’m not dead?

Were you hoping for my death?’

“Alright, tell us about the situation with the Long Family.”

Long Yan, fighting down his nausea, pulled Zhang Yibai up.

Zhang Yibai, ever the chatterbox, began to explain the situation of the Long Family.

The situation in the Long Family was indeed dismal.

Not only had the guards and servants fled, but some members of the Long Family had also escaped.

Five of the elders were severely wounded in that battle.

Shortly thereafter, three of them succumbed to their injuries.

Only the Great Elder and the Third Elder were left, hovering between life and death.

Among the young generation, Long Hao and Long Ziyue were seriously wounded, but fortunately, their lives were saved.

The most seriously injured was Long Yu, who had lost an arm.

Due to excessive blood loss, he hadn’t awakened till now.

“Where is Long Yu?”

Long Yan asked.

“In the backyard!”

Zhang Yibai replied.

Once his words fell, Long Yan and the others immediately started towards the backyard.

“Wait, what did the Young Master say just now?

Chief Steward?

Right, Chief Steward!

Haha, from now on, I am the Chief Steward of the Long Family.”

Upon realizing this, Zhang Yibai was overwhelmed with joy, almost fainting from happiness.

As the Chief Steward, he would be in charge of all the servants and guards of the Long Family.

His status was exceedingly high, even surpassing that of some members of the Long Family.

In the backyard, inside a room.

“He’s been like this for a month, and there’s no sign of him regaining consciousness…I fear…”

The young man lying on the bronze bed, blood-stained, was Long Yu.

His right arm had been lopped off and he lying there, his life hanging by a thread.

Standing beside the bronze bed, the faces of Long Hao and Long Ziyue were filled with intense worry.

“No, our fourth brother will definitely wake up.”

Long Ziyue bit her lip tightly, with tears spinning in her eyes.

“I don’t know how Third Brother is doing, if he were also…our Long family would…”

Long Hao looked gloomy, his mind filled with worry for Long Yan.

“Yu’er!”

At that moment, the sound of footsteps echoed through the courtyard.

The trembling voice of Dragon Star echoed.

“Sounds like Dad’s voice?”

Long Ziyue raised her head slightly, even suspecting it was an illusion.

“What do you mean ‘sounds like’?

It is!”

Long Hao said, a ray of brightness flashed in his bleak eyes.

At that moment, Dragon Star rushed into the room, followed by Long Yan and the others.

“Dad!”

Long Ziyue immediately rushed into Dragon Star’s arms, crying loudly.

“Grandpa, Dad, Big Brother, Third Brother, you all came back, that’s great!”

Seeing the familiar faces, Long Hao couldn’t hold back the tears.

The taut nerves suddenly loosened, and he collapsed on the ground.

Long Yan acted swiftly, supporting Long Hao and putting an elixir into his mouth.

The injuries of Long Hao and Long Ziyue were serious, but they had no time to heal because they had to take care of Long Yu.

Their injuries became more severe due to this long delay.

Immediately after, Long Yan gave Long Ziyue an elixir as well.

“Yu’er!”

Sitting on the bronze bed, Long Cangqiong looked at Long Yu, who was hanging between life and death, his face heavy.

Though Long Yu was still breathing, he was only being supported by sheer willpower, reaching his limit.

“Had I known, I would have come to Long family first.”

Long Chen blamed himself.

Before he reached Ling Wu City, he had already heard about the Long family’s situation.

So, he went directly to the Imperial City of Tianwu.

If he had returned to the Long family first, the situation might have been much better.

“Yu’re injuries are so serious, I’m afraid…”

After checking, Long Cangqiong’s face became even more serious.

“Grandpa, let me take a look.”

Long Yan stepped forward.

After a careful examination, his face also became extremely grave.

Although Long Yu was still breathing, his breath was as thin as a thread, probably unable to hold on much longer.

If it were just physical injuries, Long Yan could heal him, but Long Yu’s soul had also been injured.

With his current strength, he felt helpless.

“Third Brother, how is it?”

Long Chen asked.

“It’s difficult.

Fourth Brother’s soul has been injured.

With my current strength, I can’t save him.

However, I have a way to at least keep him alive for now,” Long Yan said.

“Big Brother Yan, I can save him,” Lingxi softly said.

“Really?

That’s great!”

Long Yan’s eyes lit up.

He had forgotten that Lingxi had the Life Skyvine, which could totally restore Long Yu’s soul.

Immediately after, Lingxi used the Life Skyvine to infuse life energy into Long Yu’s body bit by bit.

His injuries were visibly healing.

An hour later, Lingxi put away the Life Skyvine, her forehead already covered in sweat.

“Xiaoyi, thank you!”

Long Yan reached out to hug Lingxi.

With a blushing face, Lingxi said softly, “His injuries have healed, but he might still need two or three days to wake up.”

“You have worked hard.”

Long Yan smiled.

To Long Ziyue, he said, “Sister Zi Yue, can you arrange a room for Lingxi to rest?”
