Chapter 6055: Long Lin’s Reaction
“Lord Clan Chief.”
An elder stepped into the room, looking like he had something to report.
However, the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief waved his hand and said, “We’ll talk later.”
He knew that Chu Feng was in a rush to get to the bottom of this mystery.
The elder looked troubled. He clasped his fist and lowered his head, saying, “Lord Clan Chief, it’s concerning Lord Ancestral Dragon’s remains.”
“Lord Ancestral Dragon’s remains?”
Everyone turned to look at the elder, including Chu Feng.
Chu Feng knew how important the ancestral dragon’s remains were to the Totem Dragon Clan. They only rose to their current position because their first clan chief had borrowed the strength of the ancestral dragon’s remains.
Long Lin tried to use Chu Feng to refine the ancestral dragon’s dragon essence to save his lover, but Chu Feng managed to escape in the end. Right now, the Heaven-devouring Qilin was busy assimilating the ancestral dragon’s dragon essence.
The Heaven-devouring Qilin had promised to raise Chu Feng’s cultivation once it was done, but it suddenly went silent after it started assimilation.
If the Heaven-devouring Qilin was truly busy assimilating the dragon essence instead of intentionally ignoring him, it would mean that the dragon essence was greater than he had imagined. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken so long.
This indirectly showed that the ancestral dragon’s remains were a huge thing too.
“What happened?” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief asked.
“Lord Clan Chief, it’s Long Lin. He’s intending to destroy Lord Ancestral Dragon’s remains to peer into the power inside!” the elder exclaimed.
The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief and the other elders were horrified. “Is that true?”
“Lord Clan Chief, it is true. Long Lin’s actions have incurred public rage. Even the traitors who defected to Long Lin’s side regret following him. Disharmony has started breeding on their side, and many wish to return to Lord Clan Chief’s side to topple Long Lin,” that elder said.
It turned out that the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief had slipped spies into the Totem Dragon Clan to gather intelligence. Some traitors forsook their principles for their interests, but some also took pride in being a Totem Dragon Clansman and prioritized the larger picture.
They started regretting their decision when they realized that Long Lin was a pawn from the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect, and that their Totem Dragon Clan would become nothing more than a chess piece at this rate.
Thus, they wanted to support the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief in toppling Long Lin and returning things to how they were. As long as the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief gave them a second chance, they would return to serving him.
“Yes, the source is trustworthy. Long Lin reportedly went after the Pill Dao Immortal Sect because they defected to our side, but I have never heard about that. So, I wanted to ask Lord Clan Chief if the Pill Dao Immortal Sect has defected to our side,” the elder asked.
“Preposterous! Young friend Chu Feng has a blood grudge against the Pill Dao Immortal Sect’s Jia Lingyi. We would never take them in!” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief denied it.
“I understand. I’ll be taking my leave now.”
The elder was about to leave the room when the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief asked, “Is there further news concerning Jia Lingyi?”
“Lord Clan Chief, Jia Lingyi appears to have lost her mind. Her responses remain incoherent no matter how Long Lin tortures her. She keeps murmuring ‘You’re alive. How can you be alive.’”
Chu Feng couldn’t hold back anymore and asked, “Who is Jia Lingyi talking about?”
“Young hero Chu Feng, those interrogating Jia Lingyi asked that too, but she refuses to reply. She repeats the same words over and over again like a madwoman,” the elder replied. “That’s weird. Why would there be such a rumor? Is Long Lin trying to drive a wedge between us and young friend Chu Feng?”
He was more concerned about the rumor’s origin than Jia Lingyi’s condition.
“Are you sure the news is reliable?” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief asked again.
“Yes, I’m certain.”
“You may leave now.”
The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief waved his hand, and the elder quickly left the room to participate in the battle plan discussion with the others.
The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief turned to Chu Feng and said, “Young friend Chu Feng, allow me to assure you that we have never reached out to the Pill Dao Immortal Sect, and the Pill Dao Immortal Sect wouldn’t dare to reach out to us after what they did. We’ll hand Jia Lingyi to you after dealing with the traitors. That should prove that the rumor is unfounded.”
Following that, the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief turned to Long Chengyu and Long Muxi, saying, “Chengyu, Muxi...”
“Father, I won’t stay behind here. I wish to fight alongside you,” Long Chengyu interjected.
“I feel the same too,” Long Muxi said.
“You two are our Totem Dragon Clan’s future. As long as the two of you are alive, you can avenge me if I meet with a mishap. If something happens to the two of you too, our Totem Dragon Clan will be doomed,” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief said.
“Father, you can’t change my mind. I have made up my mind to follow you to the battlefield,” Long Chengyu said.
“You brat... Why are you so obstinate? Young friend Chu Feng, please talk to him on my behalf,” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief exclaimed.
To his surprise, Chu Feng said, “I’ll be following you too.”
