Chapter 6059: Long Lin’s Sincerity
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, elder.”
Despite his grudge against Long Lin, Chu Feng still chose to bow to Long Xue.
“Please spare with the ceremony, young friend Chu Feng. It’s thanks to you that I’m able to move around now.” Long Xue supported Chu Feng upright before looking into the house with grudging eyes. “Why are you eating ahead of us? I cooked that for young friend Chu Feng!”
It turned out that Long Lin had entered the hut, sat down, and began eating while Long Xue was talking to Chu Feng.
“Young friend Chu Feng won’t mind. He isn’t an outsider. Am I right, young friend Chu Feng? Stop standing there in a daze. Come in and try your Elder Long Xue’s cooking!”
“Elder, you first,” Chu Feng said.
“I’m a vegetarian. You two talk.”
Long Xue smiled before heading out into the courtyard. She was giving Chu Feng and Long Lin some room to talk.
Chu Feng entered the hut, sat down, grabbed a duck leg, and stuffed it into his mouth. The way he ate looked as if he had been starved for days. Even Long Lin was taken aback.
“Aren’t you scared of getting poisoned?”
“You don’t have to deal with me in such an indirect manner.”
Long Lin pulled out a vat of wine under the table. “Interested in a drink?”
“Sure.”
Chu Feng grabbed a wine bowl from the table and passed it over. Long Lin poured him some wine, and he gulped it down.
“You lured me here for Elder Long Xue’s illness.”
“That’s right.”
“Why did you lure the Totem Dragon Clan here too?”
“I sought Taishi Xingzhong’s help for Long Xue’s illness, but he betrayed me. He told the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect about the ancestral dragon’s remains. You also know that it was with the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s help that I usurped power from the previous clan chief. I... am their puppet, and now, they want the ancestral dragon’s remains.
“Later, the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion approached me and asked me to join them. I accepted the offer, but in exchange, I asked for their protection. I was hoping that the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion would intimidate the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster, so that he dared not covet the ancestral dragon’s remains.
“You were at God’s Era too. You should have heard that the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster has given up on the opportunity to venture deeper into God’s Era,” Long Lin said.
“He’s after the ancestral dragon’s remains?” Chu Feng asked.
“Yes, but that’s not all. He’s a highly ambitious person. The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion and the other powers are now busy with God’s Era, and he has advanced to Heavenly God thanks to the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s help. Unless the Ancient Era’s cultivators intervene, no one can stop him from doing whatever he wants.
“He will use this opportunity to take the ancestral dragon’s remains. I, Long Lin, am unscrupulous, but I am still a Totem Dragon Clansman. I won’t let the ancestral dragon’s remnants fall into the hands of an outsider,
“I came up with a way to curb the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster before seeking help from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, but it won’t be easy to pull it off now that he has advanced to Heavenly God. I’ll need more helping hands,” Long Lin said.
“What means do you have to deal with a Heavenly God?” Chu Feng asked.
Long Lin placed the special token made out of dragon scales on the table.
“It’s the ancestral dragon’s remains. I told you before that the ancestral dragon’s remains are protected by a bloodline formation that permits only Totem Dragon Clansmen to approach. The formation is intended to fend against outsiders, but our clansmen can channel it and wield it as a powerful slaughter formation.
“It’s just that I, alone, am unable to channel the formation, and there aren’t many people I can trust in the Totem Dragon Clan. Thus, I need their help. I have thought things through. I’ll first quell the Heavenly Dome Immortal Sect’s sectmaster before returning the position of the clan chief to them.
“Long Xue has you as her savior anyway,” Long Lin said as he passed a wine bowl to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng took the wine bowl and gulped down the wine. “How can I trust you?”
“If I’m not mistaken, the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief has sent the bulk of his people to attack the headquarters and the other branches, right?” Long Lin asked.
Chu Feng didn’t reply, for Long Lin was right.
“I have been messing around to provoke the clansmen. It’s not just to push them to the old clan chief but to also sieve out those who are loyal to the Totem Dragon Clan. This war is a chance for them to prove their loyalty. Those with care about the clan will turn against me, whereas the selfish ones will reveal their true faces.
“Chu Feng, you are a smart person. You should know why I am doing this,” Long Lin said.
Chu Feng maintained his silence.
If Long Lin’s words were true, he was indeed helping the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief. Getting rid of the poisonous tumors would aid the Totem Dragon Clan’s future development.
“I am not lying, and I don’t need to lie either. I am not an ambitious person. All I desire is Long Xue’s safety. Chu Feng, I know they trust you. Help me convince them tomorrow,” Long Lin said.
“Why tomorrow and not now?” Chu Feng asked.
“That won’t do. I have promised Xue’er that, no matter what happens, I’ll return before sunset to accompany her and only leave at daybreak. I’ll entrust this matter into your hands. You can bring them here to kill me if you are truly unable to believe me. I’ll be heading off to accompany Xue’er now,” Long Lin said before rising to his feet and walking toward Long Xue.
He left the token made out of dragon scale on the table. He was giving it to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng took the token and headed back to where the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief and the others were. With the token, he dispelled the restraints and suppression imposed on them. Then, he handed the token to the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief.
“To think that Long Lin has constructed a token to suppress our clansmen’s bloodline. He must have done something to Lord Ancestral Dragon!”
Looking at the token, the Totem Dragon Clan’s elders clenched their jaws.
This token was an extremely dangerous item to their Totem Dragon Clan that could potentially lead to their extinction.
The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief turned to Chu Feng and calmly said, ‘Young friend Chu Feng, what is Long Lin’s intention?”
Chu Feng relayed Long Lin’s intention to the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief and the others.
The crowd fell silent. They had to grudgingly admit that Long Lin’s words were credible.
“Young friend Chu Feng, do you think that Long Lin is trustworthy?” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief asked.
“I’d think so. He has no reason to do this otherwise. He could have killed us, but instead, he handed the bloodline suppression token, his greatest leverage over us, to me,” Chu Feng said.
Long Lin and Long Xue were Totem Dragon Clansmen as well, which means that the bloodline suppression token worked on them too. He was entrusting not just his life but Long Xue’s too to them.
That was great sincerity on his part.
