C627 The Family Head Was Worried

This made Loong Aotian feel a little incredulous. He asked himself, in his mind, why did they betray the Loong family when he thought that he had treated the four great elders of the Loong family well? Why did they do that?2

Although he already knew the result, he knew in his heart that his current strength wasn't strong enough. Even if he knew the truth, he was afraid that it wouldn't change anything.

However, in Loong Aotian's heart, he had been worried about his daughter, Loong Xue. It was best not to let her get involved. Otherwise, Loong Xue's life might be in danger.

He carefully recalled the situation in the cave. Loong Aotian believed that there should really be some great treasure in the lava lake. If he could really get it, then perhaps he could really save Loong family.

However, the problem was that the temperature of the magma lake was extremely high. Even with the protection of the barrier, it was impossible to reach the lava lake. Therefore, he had to rely on other treasures. Loong Aotian could only place his hopes on Loong Xue and ask her to find the legendary Ice Spirit Bead. He also sent out many of his trusted aides and asked them to protect Loong Xue. There must be no mistakes.

When Loong Xue left, Loong Aotian was secretly on her map. He picked up a letter and told her about the current situation of the Loong family. He also told Loong Xue about it. If we find the Ice Bead, we'll go back to the back of the mountain and try it. If she couldn't find it, then she would go far away. Never return to the Loong family, or rather, never return. At that time, the Loong family was no longer under their control.

In Loong Aotian's opinion, such an action was like killing two birds with one stone. First, he could let Loong Xue leave the Loong family. In this way, the conflict between the four elders of the Loong family and him would not affect Loong Xue. On the other hand, if Loong Xue really found the Ice Spirit Pearl, there was still a glimmer of hope for the future of the Loong family.

However, ever since Loong Xue left, although Loong Aotian had asked the people of the Loong family to seal off the news, the news of his injuries still spread like wildfire. Soon, it had spread throughout the surrounding cities.

As a result, many sects and families began to fight for the resources of the Loong family. For a moment, the Loong family had become the enemy from both sides. It was an unbearable pain. Loong Aotian had no choice but to cede the land and pay compensation. He had signed unequal treaties time and time again.

This made many of the descendants of the Loong family very unhappy. They thought that Patriarch Loong had no backbone and had always been in a state of being bullied. They didn't dare to start a war with him. They didn't have the spirit of a hot-blooded man at all.

However, from Patriarch Loong's point of view, the reason why he did this was to protect the strength of the Loong family. This was an extraordinary period of time for the Loong family. If they started a war, the Loong family wouldn't have any chance of winning. It might even disappear because of this.

In the following few incidents, Patriarch Loong discovered that the situation was much more serious than he had imagined. There were too many enemies in the Loong family's current situation. Even the enemies had already arrived at the gate of the Loong family. Therefore, Patriarch Loong was helpless as to what to do in such a situation.

Moreover, ever since Patriarch Loong was injured, The entire Loong family is a mess. At the same time, Ninth Duke from the imperial family also came to the Loong family to have an interview with Patriarch Loong. The main point was that he had taken a fancy to Loong Xue and wanted to take her as his concubine. If Patriarch Loong agreed to it, he would accept her as his concubine. Then he would use the power of the Sovereign Family to help the Loong family fight against the other families and sects.

Patriarch Loong felt helpless as well. He knew that if he agreed to this marriage, his daughter's future would be ruined. If he didn't agree, the people of the Sovereign Family would be offended as well. Therefore, Patriarch Loong didn't say anything. He could only wait for Loong Xue to come back and listen to her opinion.

However, Ninth Duke didn't give up. He would come every few days to pressure the Loong family. He even mobilized the elders of the Loong family to persuade Patriarch Loong to agree to such a marriage and coerce him. The conditions he offered were indeed very tempting.

For a moment, the four elders came to Patriarch Loong for no reason. They said that they had to obtain the power of the imperial family in order to save the Loong family. If that was the case, they would have to agree to Ninth Duke's marriage.

Patriarch Loong had always been opposed to this matter. Therefore, the relationship between him and the four elders had never been harmonious.

After saying this, Patriarch Loong sighed and said to Zhang Fann and the others, "Let's go." So, this is the current situation of Loong family. It really makes everyone laugh."

Everyone frowned when they heard what Loong Aotian said. The anger in their hearts was boiling, especially Dao Lang and Gao Eh. They felt even more indignant.

"Ridiculous! This Ninth Duke is clearly taking advantage of the situation. He clearly knows that the Loong family is in a disadvantageous situation, but he still wants to take advantage of the situation. This is truly shameless!" Dao Lang said angrily.

"He is just Ninth Duke from the Imperial Family. What's so great about him? If he dares to come again, I will beat him until my mother doesn't even know him!" Gao Eh was venting his dissatisfaction.

When Cheng Bo heard this name, he felt very familiar. Wasn't this Ninth Duke the one who bribed the Cheng Family Patriarch?

Loong Aotian added, "This Ninth Duke has a lackey. I heard that he used to be the patriarch of the Cheng family. Now, he has been given the surname of an imperial family. Now, he has changed his name to Ni Fei. This man is cunning and cunning. He has been making small moves in the vicinity of Loong family. If we don't get rid of this man, there won't be any peaceful days in Loong family."

Upon hearing Patriarch Loong's words, Cheng Bo's heart was burning with anger. It was this man who had caused the destruction of the entire Cheng family. It was also him who had colluded with the Imperial Family and killed countless sons of the Cheng family. Furthermore, Cheng Bo had come here to eliminate this man.

"Patriarch Loong, is this Ni Fei living in Luo City?" Cheng Bo frowned and asked Patriarch Loong with a cold expression.

Loong Aotian nodded slightly and said, "That's right. I heard that this man is very close to Ninth Duke. He used to be the patriarch of Cheng family. Now, Ninth Duke has bought him a house in Luo City. He does live there. "Do you know this man?"

Cheng Bo gritted his teeth and said to Patriarch Loong, "I am a member of the Cheng family. I have come here to seek revenge. Patriarch Loong, don't worry. I will deal with this man."

After receiving the news from Patriarch Loong, Cheng Bo knew that he had come to the right place. Since that was the case, the matter of revenge was just around the corner.
