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. Straitors forsook their principles for their interests, but salso 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 DImmortal Sect, and that their Totem Dragon Clan would becnothing 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.

“Lord Clan Chief, this matter concerns Lord Ancestral Dragon’s remains. We can’t wait.”

Long Xu and the others looked at the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief. They viewed the ancestral dragon’s remains to be more important than their lives, as there wouldn’t be the present Totem Dragon Clan otherwise.

“Father, could this be a trap?” Long Chengyu asked.

They hadn’t finished their preparations to confront Long Lin yet, and they had no way of knowing whether those who wanted to switch allegiance back to the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief were trustworthy.

It was extremely dangerous for them to make a move right now.

“We’ll have to make a move even if it’s a trap. Tell our clansmen to prepare themselves. We’ll be taking back the Totem Dragon Clan!” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief ordered.

All of the elders scattered in all directions to make preparations.

The atmosphere in the sacred land turned tense and grim.

The assembly horn sounded, and the Totem Dragon Clansmen and the beasts they reared arrived in droves. Those who had been in closed-door training emerged from their seclusion too. A huge army was gathering.

They had been making preparations all this while so that they could dive into battle whenever required.

However, the elder who reported the news lingered in the area.

So, the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief turned to the elder and said, “You’re dismissed.”

“Lord Clan Chief, there’s another matter,” the elder clasped his fist and said.

“Go ahead.”

The elder didn’t reply right away. He glanced at Chu Feng, hinting at his reservations at having an outsider present, but his subtle gesture provoked a roar from the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief.

“What do you take young friend Chu Feng to be? Hurry up and say everything! There’s nothing to hide at a tlike this. All news is of utmost importance at this juncture! The fate of our Totem Dragon Clan is at stake here!”

The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief blew his top not just because of the elder’s hesitation, but because his glance indicated distrust in Chu Feng. He wouldn’t allow anyone to suspect Chu Feng, not after what the latter had done for them.

“Lord Clan Chief, something happened to the Pill Dao Immortal Sect. A huge flburned their headquarters down, destroying them for good. Long Lin ordered his men to round up Jia Lingyi and the other survivors of the Pill Dao Immortal Sect and interrogate them instead of protecting them.”

Those words made Chu Feng’s eyes light up.

“You’re saying that Long Lin captured Jia Lingyi? Is the source trustworthy?” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief asked.

“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 swords 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, allowto 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 stoo,” Long Muxi said.

“You two are our Totem Dragon Clan’s future. As long as the two of you are alive, you can avengeif 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.”
