C635 The Dragon Gathering Bell
At this moment, Patriarch Loong's heart was a lot brighter. He wanted to show that he could recover his body well. Once everything was settled, he would be able to come back and take charge of the situation.2
However, in Patriarch Loong's opinion, Zhang Fann didn't have much of a name in the Loong family. He was just a friend of Loong Xue. If that was the case, it would be very difficult for Zhang Fann to execute all of his plans.
After thinking for a while, Patriarch Loong took out a black Nine Dragon Token from his pocket. He handed it to Zhang Fann and said, "Young Hero. You can reach out your hand when the Loong family is in danger. "I, Loong Aotian, am really grateful to you. In that case... Keep this token well. If anyone tries to make things difficult for you, show me this token. This will solve some problems. "
Zhang Fann took a look at the black token in his hand and found that it was a little heavy in his hand, but its surface was extremely bright. There were nine dragons coiling around it, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. It was vivid and lifelike, with different shapes and forms. Every detail showed an unyielding will.
"Patriarch Loong, what is the meaning of this?" Zhang Fann frowned. He didn't understand why Patriarch Loong gave him this token. Besides, what was the origin of this token?
Loong Aotian smiled. He began to tell Zhang Fann about the importance of this token, as well as some of the history of the Loong family.
It turned out that this token was called the Nine Dragon Token. It was left behind by the founding ancestor of the Loong family. It was extremely precious and had always been kept by the supreme elders of the Loong family. Therefore, in the Loong family, everyone knew that there was such a Nine Dragon Token, but no one had ever seen it before. They had only seen some pictures in some books.
However, when the token was passed to the previous generation's supreme elder, he expressed that he wanted to travel around the world. He didn't know when he would return, and he couldn't stay in the Loong family forever. This didn't match his personality. Therefore, he handed the token to Loong Aotian and left the Loong family, never to return.
Loong Aotian never told anyone about this secret. At the same time, he kept this black Nine Dragon Token close to his body to prevent it from being lost. After all, this item still needed to be passed on, and nothing could happen to it.
The reason why Loong Aotian had taken out this token at this time was because of this. It was because he had discovered that the Loong family was already at the brink of death. If Zhang Fann hadn't appeared, the Loong family would have been destroyed sooner or later, and they would have only been able to survive for a year.
Since Zhang Fann had expressed his intention to help the Loong family, it was only a matter of time before the Loong family was destroyed. It was just to make an agreement with Loong Xue. Such friendship had touched Loong Aotian. Therefore, in Loong Aotian's opinion, it was time to use this Nine Dragon Token to solve the internal problems of the Loong family.
After listening to the story of the Nine Dragon Token, Zhang Fann felt that it was indeed very important. Unless he had no other choice, he couldn't take it out casually. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the supreme elders of the Loong family.
After putting away the Nine Dragon Token, Zhang Fann said to Loong Aotian, "Patriarch Loong, since the internal problem of the Loong family needs to be solved and there is no time to delay, why don't we convene a meeting of the higher-ups of the Loong family now? I wonder how did the Loong family gather all the elders?"
"That's simple." Loong Aotian pointed to the east and said to Zhang Fann, "There is something called the Gathering Dragon Bell in the east. If we want to hold an internal meeting of the higher-ups of Loong family, we only need to ring the bell. All the elders of the family will come to the meeting hall on time."
After that, Patriarch Loong instructed his guards to inform the person who rang the Gathering Dragon Bell. The meeting of the upper echelons of Loong family was about to be held. Zhang Fann and Loong Xue had already gone to the meeting hall.
Not long later, a loud and clear bell rang in the east of the Loong family. The sound was deep and resounding, echoing in the sky above the Loong family. It instantly attracted the attention of all the Long family members.
"The sound of the Dragon Gathering Bell? It seems like the Loong family is going to hold a high-level internal meeting? However, I seem to remember that our patriarch is still very weak. Could it be that our patriarch has abdicated at this time?"
Don't talk nonsense. Although the patriarch is not well, he is still our patriarch. Although the four elders are spying on the patriarch's position, no one dares to act recklessly. In the past, unless Patriarch Loong abdicated his position or died by accident, the Loong family will only consider the change of ownership at this time. "
"I think it's time for us to have a proper discussion. Now, those sects and families have already bullied our doorstep. If we don't come up with any countermeasures, our Loong family will really be in trouble."
"This Dragon Gathering Bell hasn't rung for many years. Hearing this bell, I feel like I can see the hope of our Loong family in the future."
Hearing the sound of the Dragon Gathering Bell, everyone had mixed feelings. They began to speculate about the higher ups of the Loong family. At the same time, they gathered outside the meeting hall of the Loong family, waiting for the results. They also wanted to know what the higher ups of the Loong family were going to discuss at this time.
Third Elder was still drinking tea in his courtyard. When he heard the sound of the Dragon Gathering Bell, he couldn't help but frown. After carefully identifying the direction, he felt that the bell should be in the east.
According to the design of the Loong family, a Dragon Gathering Bell was set up in the east. Its purpose was to gather the higher-ups of the Loong family to discuss important matters in the meeting hall.
On the west side of the Loong family, there was a Dragon Burying Bell. Normally, it would only ring when an important figure of the Loong family died.
Therefore, when the bell rang, Third Elder Loong Ao first identified the direction. After confirming that it was the sound of the Dragon Gathering Bell, he drank all the tea in his cup and used the Lightness Skill. His figure turned into a ray of light and headed towards the meeting hall in the distance.
Not long after, Zhang Fann and Loong Xue arrived at the meeting hall. As well as the four elders of the Loong family, they all came to the meeting hall and sat in their seats. They all looked at Loong Aotian's seat. At the same time, The four elders also looked at Zhang Fann and frowned. In the meeting hall of Loong family, a new face had arrived today. They didn't understand what was going on.
Zhang Fann stood at the side without saying anything. He stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes were like a pool of autumn water. There were no ripples in the ancient well and it was like the Milky Way in the sky. It was extremely deep and unfathomable.
Loong Xue stood beside Zhang Fann and began introducing the four elders of Loong family to him in a low voice.
The first seat on the left was the Great Elder of the Loong family, Long Kun. He had a cold face and white beard. He wore a long black robe with dragon marks on his mouth. Judging from his cultivation base, he was already a peak Seventh Layer of Mahayana Period warrior.
