“Utterly audacious, you are truly utterly audacious.”
“This Dragon Vein Source belongs to our Long clan. Yet you secretly colluded to transfer all its power into Long Xiaoxiao’s body.”
“How is this different from theft?”
“No, this is outright robbery, seizing our Long clan’s opportunity right in front of all our clansmen.”
“Husband, such actions are unforgivable. They must not be tolerated.”
“Long Xiaoxiao colluded with these two, appropriating our Dragon Vein Source for herself. All should be executed on the spot.”
Long Mumu’s mother said.
“Madam, what nonsense is this?”
“By your logic, does Long Xiaoxiao no longer belong to your Long clan?”
the old cow-nosed Taoist asked.
“She is indeed one of our Long clan, but she should not monopolise the Dragon Vein Source. Such behaviour makes her unfit to be a Long clansman.”
Long Mumu’s mother said.
“And who told you the Dragon Vein Source’s power was to be evenly divided among your Long clansmen?”
“You do not even know when it activates or how. Yet now you discuss this with this old man?”
“In my view, you are simply unwilling because you gained no power from it.”
“If we speak of selfish motives, someone here indeed has them, but it is neither this old man nor Princess Xiaoxiao. It is you, you shrew.”
The old cow-nosed Taoist not only insulted Long Mumu’s mother but, after speaking, spat phlegm on the ground. His disdain needed no words.
“Shrew? You cow-nosed fellow, you dare call me a shrew?”
“I will take your life!!!”
Long Mumu’s mother flew into a rage and released her pressure.
First-grade Martial Venerable. Though a woman, Long Mumu’s mother was astonishingly powerful, a first-grade Martial Venerable expert.
“Insolence!!!”
But at that moment, a furious shout rang out.
Immediately, a mighty aura enveloped this realm.
After it emerged, Chu Feng felt immense oppression.
It seemed that, if the opponent wished, this realm could be destroyed in an instant.
And all of them would die.
It was the Long clan leader.
The strongest of the Long clan finally acted.
However, his pressure lasted only a moment.
It was a warning to Long Mumu’s mother.
“Husband, I…”
Long Mumu’s mother clearly feared the Long clan leader. She withdrew her pressure and lowered her head.
Yet, after warning her, the Long clan leader said nothing to the old cow-nosed Taoist. Instead, he looked directly at Long Xiaoxiao.
“Xiaoxiao, is the Dragon Vein Source’s power truly in your body?”
the Long clan leader asked.
“Father, it is indeed in my body.”
Long Xiaoxiao said.
“Let Father see.”
The Long clan leader grasped Long Xiaoxiao’s wrist, intending to examine the power within her.
But the more he observed, the deeper his frown.
Then his expression darkened, and he said gravely to Long Xiaoxiao, “Are you certain the Dragon Vein Source’s power is in your body?”
“Father, the power now in my body is the Dragon Vein Source.”
Long Xiaoxiao said.
“Insolence.”
Unexpectedly, the Long clan leader flung his sleeve, knocking the already frail Long Xiaoxiao to the ground.
“What are you doing?”
Chu Feng rushed forward to help her up.
“Clan Leader, you…”
The Long clan’s supreme elders also felt some pity for Long Xiaoxiao.
Of course, their true worry was the Dragon Vein Source.
After all, the old cow-nosed Taoist had said it now resided in Long Xiaoxiao, coexisting with her.
“There is no Dragon Vein Source in her body at all.”
the Long clan leader said.
“No Dragon Vein Source?”
Hearing this, the supreme elders swarmed to Long Xiaoxiao, using their methods to sense her interior.
Even Long Mumu’s mother stepped forward to sense.
But this sensing brought her great joy.
As the Long clan leader said, there was no Dragon Vein Source power in Long Xiaoxiao’s body.
Slap.
After sensing, Long Mumu’s mother delivered a vicious slap to Long Xiaoxiao’s face.
The slap not only sent Long Xiaoxiao sprawling but deformed her delicate face.
That cheek twisted, blood streaming.
Yet even after Long Xiaoxiao was struck like this.
Let alone the Long clan leader saying nothing, even the supreme elders beside her remained silent.
Chu Feng lacked the ability; by the time he reacted, it was too late.
But the supreme elders present were extraordinarily powerful. If they wished to block, they could have stopped Long Mumu’s mother the instant her strike landed.
When Chu Feng reacted, Long Xiaoxiao’s body had already flown thousands of metres from him.
Chu Feng’s eyes blazed red with anger. He flew to Long Xiaoxiao, first checking her injuries, then roared at her mother, “What exactly are you doing?”
“What am I doing?”
“I am naturally punishing this wretch.”
“As a Long clansman, she colluded with you, deceiving our clan. She deserves death.”
Long Mumu’s mother said.
“Xiaoxiao, you have truly broken your father’s heart.”
Meanwhile, Long Duan and other supreme elders also began blaming Long Xiaoxiao.
Seeing this, Chu Feng seemed to realise something. He quickly grasped Long Xiaoxiao’s wrist and examined her.
Only then did he discover her body truly held no power.
Though weak, it was her own frailty. Let alone the mighty Dragon Vein Source power, no other power existed.
“Master.”
Puzzled, Chu Feng looked to the old cow-nosed Taoist.
Seeking answers from his master.
“Grandmaster, you have truly betrayed the trust I placed in your master and disciple.”
But before the old cow-nosed Taoist could reply, the Long clan leader spoke.
Rumble.
As he spoke, the earth rumbled, the void trembled.
A suffocatingly powerful force enveloped and sealed this realm.
It was the Long clan leader’s power.
“Clan Leader, what is the meaning of this?”
“Could it be you intend to kill us master and disciple, and your own daughter?”
the old cow-nosed Taoist asked.
“Kill?”
“Today, you must give a reasonable explanation.”
“Otherwise, I will not let you die easily.”
“I will make you wish for death.”
The Long clan leader’s brows arched in fury, his gaze icy.
His previous amiable politeness had vanished completely.
Now, murderous intent surged, as if possessed by a demon.
But Chu Feng and the old cow-nosed Taoist knew that, as clan leader, this was his true face.
