A thousand miles away,
The capital,
After the baptism of an autumn rain, the sky was incomparably blue, refreshing the heart and mind,
The Forbidden City,
At the entrance of a grand hall,
Long Qi and Long Ba looked anxious, pacing back and forth, occasionally glancing at the tightly closed hall,
“Brother Seven, we’ve been here for three days, why hasn’t Brother Four come out yet?”
Long Ba whispered, “Could it be that Brother Four had a problem with his training, so…”
He didn’t finish the sentence, but Long Ba believed Long Qi understood his meaning,
Long Qi glared at Long Ba and scolded, “Can’t you say something positive?”
“It’s a time of many troubles, our Forbidden City can’t afford any more accidents,”
“If I hear you say such things again, watch out, I’ll deal with you,”
Long Ba muttered, “If Brother Four is doing fine, then why hasn’t he come out yet?”
Long Qi glared at Long Ba again, wanting to retort but not knowing what to say,
They had been waiting here for three days, and Long Si still hadn’t emerged, which was indeed unusual,
“Sigh!”
Long Ba sighed and said, “Brother Seven, you were right just now, it’s a time of many troubles, our Forbidden City really can’t afford any more accidents,”
“Old Nine is dead, Brother Six was killed by someone unknown, and as for Brother Five, he went to Tianlong Temple and hasn’t been heard from since, it’s likely more bad than good,”
“And that Ye Qiu, not only has he become the Medical Saint, but now he’s also transformed into the leader of the Dragon Gate, truly hateful!”
At the mention of Ye Qiu, a murderous glint appeared in Long Qi’s eyes,
The successive deaths in the Forbidden City were all caused by Ye Qiu,
“Damn it, this Ye Qiu is like an unkillable cockroach, we sent several top experts, how could they all fail to kill him?”
Long Qi angrily said, “Next time I see that kid, I’ll grind his bones to dust,”
Long Ba said gravely, “Though Cao Yuan is dead, Ye Qiu has become the leader of the Dragon Gate, which is not good news for us, after all, the Dragon Gate has a hundred thousand disciples,”
“Once Brother Four comes out, we must find a way to kill Ye Qiu, otherwise, if all the Dragon Gate disciples become completely loyal to him, it will be troublesome to get rid of him later,”
Long Qi scoffed, “The Dragon Gate claims to have a hundred thousand disciples, but they’re just a rabble, nothing to worry about,”
“Brother Seven, don’t underestimate those hundred thousand Dragon Gate disciples, they may be a rabble, but if they unite, it will be no small trouble,” Long Ba reminded, “So, the priority is to kill Ye Qiu,”
Long Qi was silent for a moment, then asked, “Old Eight, any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?”
Long Ba shook his head and said, “No evidence yet to prove Ye Qiu is Ye Wushuang’s son,”
Long Qi frowned slightly,
Long Ba continued, “Brother Seven, I think we don’t need to investigate this matter, whether Ye Qiu is Ye Wushuang’s son or not, we have to kill him,”
“Hmm,” Long Qi nodded,
Long Ba glanced at the closed hall door and said, “Why hasn’t Brother Four come out yet?”
Long Qi said, “Let’s wait a bit longer, maybe Brother Four has other matters…”
Creak!
The tightly closed hall door suddenly opened,
Then, an old man walked out from inside,
The old man was dressed in a purple python robe, with a golden crown binding his hair, walking with a dragon’s stride and a tiger’s pace, exuding an air of authority without anger,
Seeing the old man, Long Qi and Long Ba trembled, then clasped their fists and bowed in salute,
“Brother Four!”
This old man was none other than Long Si!
Long Si glanced at the two and asked, “Why are there only you two? Where are the other brothers?”
Long Ba and Long Qi exchanged a look, both hesitant to speak,
“Where are they?” Long Si asked again,
Long Qi said tactfully, “Brother Four, the other brothers have encountered some changes…”
“Brother Seven, let me say it!” Long Ba said, “Brother Four, Old Nine, Brother Five, and Brother Six are all dead,”
“What did you say? Say it again!” Long Si’s eyes widened, releasing a powerful aura,
Long Ba shrank back in fear but forced himself to say, “They’re all dead,”
“Damn it!” Long Si stomped his right foot,
Boom!
The floor shattered,
Long Si angrily said, “Old Seven, what’s going on? Who killed Old Nine and the others, was it Ye Wushuang?”
Long Qi quickly said, “It wasn’t Ye Wushuang, it was Ye Qiu,”
Ye Qiu?
Long Si thought for a moment, certain he didn’t know Ye Qiu, and asked, “Who is Ye Qiu?”
Long Qi briefly explained Ye Qiu’s background and deeds, and after listening, Long Si was furious,
“I didn’t expect that after being in seclusion for so many years, I come out to find several brothers dead, killed by an unknown nobody, truly hateful,”
“What a Ye Qiu, daring to kill our Forbidden City people, I think he’s tired of living,”
“Where is Ye Qiu now?”
Long Ba answered, “Ye Qiu is in Miaojiang,”
“Miaojiang?” Long Si raised an eyebrow and asked, “Does he have any connection with the Witch God?”
Long Ba said, “They’re enemies,”
“Cao Yuan attacked the Witch God Sect and died in Miaojiang, Ye Qiu somehow killed the Witch God and became the new leader of the Dragon Gate,”
“Ye Qiu set up a memorial hall in Miaojiang to bid farewell to Cao Yuan, now many Dragon Gate members are gathered in Miaojiang, and some high-ranking members of other factions are likely to send people to pay respects to Cao Yuan,”
A murderous intent appeared in Long Si’s eyes, and he said, “You just said Old Five went to Tianlong Temple and hasn’t been heard from since, his fate unknown?”
Long Qi nodded, “Yes,”
Long Si ordered, “You two prepare, we’ll go to Tianlong Temple to find Old Five first, then to Miaojiang to kill Ye Qiu,”
“Remember, keep our movements secret, don’t let outsiders know, lest Ye Qiu gets wind of it and escapes,”
Long Qi and Long Ba immediately agreed,
“Yes!”
…
Time passed quickly,
In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day,
That day, Ye Qiu, Cao Qingcheng, and Qinglong were receiving guests, besides the leaders of various martial arts factions like Wudang Mountain, Shaolin Temple, and Laoshan, some business tycoons also came,
There were more than three hundred guests in total,
In addition, over forty thousand Dragon Gate disciples were present,
In the evening,
In the room,
Ye Qiu asked Tang Fei, “Is the War God coming?”
Tang Fei said, “The War God hasn’t replied to me yet, I don’t know if he’s coming,”
Ye Qiu instructed Qilin and the others, “Whether the War God comes or not, tomorrow everything will proceed as planned, to send off His Highness the Ninth for the last time, Old man, is the memorial hall all set up?”
Master Longbrow had been helping set up the memorial hall these past few days, and hearing Ye Qiu’s question, he said cheekily, “You can trust me to get things done,”
Ye Qiu nodded and instructed, “Qilin, Zhao Hu, Han Long, you three are mainly responsible for security tomorrow,”
“Sending off His Highness the Ninth is a big event, no matter what, no one can be allowed to cause trouble,”
“You must take this seriously, if you find anyone trying to cause trouble, deal with them quietly,”
The three, Qilin and the others, accepted the order, “Yes!”
“Alright, everyone go rest, recharge your energy, we have important things waiting for us tomorrow,”
After Ye Qiu finished, everyone got up to leave the room,
Suddenly, Ye Qiu said, “Old man, you stay.”
