The Dragon Council was a secret force under the Long Clan. This group consisted of twelve Great Elders, each of whom had the strength at the peak of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm.

Because of the existence of the Dragon Council, the Azure Palace and the Star Gazing Palace had always been wary of the Long Clan. Even if Long Jinwei passed away, the Long Clan would still be a thorn to them, but not as much as he was alive.

"Dragon Council?" Yun Lintian said in doubt.

Long Feiyan took the initiative to explain. "Our clan is managed by my father and clan elders on the bright side, but in fact, Dragon Council holds the most authority. Unless there's something related to the clan's life and death, they won't intervene."

"The council consists of twelve elders, and each one of them is the founding elder." Long Jinwei added. "They are my father's brothers and sisters."

Yun Lintian nodded in an understanding manner. No wonder the Azure Palace and the Star Gazing Palace were afraid of the Long Clan.

"Also, they are cursed with Dragon Curse. They will live with the rise and fall of the clan until their last day." Long Jinwei didn't hide the secret.

"Dragon Curse?" Yun Lintian had never heard such a term before.

"It means they are absolutely loyal to the clan." Long Guang added.

He hesitated briefly and said. "Young Master Yun, I know this request is too much, but can you extend their lifespans? Similar to my father, they are about to reach their limits."

Long Jinwei couldn't help glaring at Long Guang. "How could you make such a selfish request!?"

Long Guang smiled bitterly. "Father…"

"Enough!" Long Jinwei was angry. He knew how precious the fruit that Yun Lintian gave him was. He didn't even know how to repay Yun Lintian in this life. How could he dare to ask for more?

Long Guang immediately shut up.

Meanwhile, Yun Lintian had no problem helping them, but he needed to confirm one thing first.

"Hongyue, do you know about this Dragon Curse? Is it true, as they said?" He asked in his mind.

"Dragon Curse is a curse on the bloodline. They must swear upon their bloodline to tie their lives to the clan's fortune. If the clan falls, they will die." Hongyue explained lazily. "It's not bad to invest in them. Though their bloodline has been diluted from the original Golden Dragon, their strength is second to none in this small world."

"Besides, dragons might be deceitful and greedy creatures. However, if you get them loyal to you, they will never change their minds until the end… But you better check them out first."

"I see." Yun Lintian nodded inwardly.

He looked at Long Jinwei and said. "I can help them, but I need to see them first."

"What!? Really!?" Long Guang exclaimed in shock.

He had no idea how Yun Lintian extended Long Jinwei's lifespan, but he understood it must be very precious. By requesting that, he didn't expect Yun Lintian to agree. Who would have thought that Yun Lintian actually agreed?

Long Jinwei's expression became solemn as he said. "Little Friend Yun, you don't have to do this."

Yun Lintian shook his head. "I believe Senior and Patriarch Long have heard about the Tree of Life incident not long ago."

Long Jinwei and Long Guang nodded, indicating they had heard about it.

Yun Lintian said further. "The fruit I give you comes from the Tree of Life. It will bear more fruits as long as I am alive."

"So that's the case." Long Jinwei, who had experienced the fruit himself, immediately understood why it was so miraculous. It turned out the fruit came from the legendary Tree of Life.

Long Guang suddenly bowed deeply. "Thank you, Young Master Yun. We don't have anything to repay you except our life. Please be assured we will stand by your side until the end of the road."

"Patriarch Long's words are heavy. I don't wish anyone to sacrifice their life for me. Please do as I requested." Yun Lintian quickly helped Long Guang up.

Long Guang nodded heavily. "We will protect your friends with our life. You have my words."

Long Jinwei knew it was useless to say grateful words further. He got up and said. "Let's go. They should be ready now."

"Yes." Long Guang said and quickly led everyone to an ancient hall behind a mountain deep inside the clan territory.

This place was an ancestral land of the Long Clan, and no one was allowed to enter unless they got permission from the Dragon Council.

Normally, Long Feiyan and Long Guang had no right to enter this place, but because of Yun Lintian, Long Jinwei allowed them to follow along.

Inside the ancient hall, there were thirteen seats in total. Six on both sides and one at the center. At this moment, twelve seats below were already occupied by twelve elders.

"Did something happen to Wei'er?" The only female elder among them, who sat on the second seat, said concernedly. She was an old woman in her eighties, but her hair was still black as ink, and there were fewer wrinkles compared to the others here.

She was the second elder, Long Ying.

"Should not. Maybe something happens to the clan." An old man with a long sword on his lap said. He was the fourth elder, Long Yan.

"Stop guessing. Long Guang has already arrived." An old man with a scholarly aura said calmly. He was the third elder, Long Hu.

At this moment, Long Jinwei led everyone into the hall. When the elders saw his appearance, they stared at him blankly, as Long Guang did previously. They couldn't believe their eyes.

"This… Wei'er?" Long Ying asked in confusion. It was the first time in many years that her mood was disturbed.

Long Jinwei smiled and bowed his head. "Nephew Wei'er greets Uncles and Aunty."

"What happened to you? How could you…?" Long Hu uttered in confusion.

"I called everyone today because of this." Long Jinwei said and opened his palm toward Yun Lintian. "Let me introduce someone. This is our benefactor. His name is Yun Lintian. He is the one who saved me."

Swish—

Instantly, every gaze turned to Yun Lintian.
