Chapter 6056: The Army Sets Off
âYoung friend Chu Feng, Iâll capture Jia Lingyi alive as long as sheâs with Long Lin, so thereâs no need for you to...â the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief tried to dissuade Chu Feng.
However, Chu Feng smiled. âElder, Iâll go by myself if you donât bring me along. Itâs not just because of Jia Lingyi; Iâm friends with your son and daughter too. Their affair is my affair too. Itâs one thing if Iâm unaware, but Iâm here right now. I wonât be able to live with myself if I turn a blind eye here.â
âThis...â
The Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief looked troubled.
Long Chengyu and Long Muxi exchanged conflicted looks. They wanted to brave danger with their father since they were from the same family, but it was a different matter if Chu Feng was getting involved too. Neither of them wanted to implicate Chu Feng in this.
Long Chengyu hesitated briefly before saying, âFather, I think I wonât go after all.â
Long Muxi quickly added, âIâll stay put too.â
âAh...â The Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
He didnât want his children to go because he knew it would be dangerous, but he was moved by his childrenâs sentiments nevertheless. Yet, it somehow looked like they valued Chu Feng more as a friend than him as a father.
Chu Feng chuckled as well. He could see through Long Chengyu and Long Muxiâs thoughts, so he asked, âAre the two of you not going?â
âThatâs right,â the two siblings replied in unison.
âIâll be going even if the two of you donât go,â Chu Feng replied.
âAh?â Long Chengyu and Long Muxi were taken aback.
âI said that itâs not just because of Jia Lingyi, but she plays a role in my decision too. Thatâs why I have to go no matter what,â Chu Feng replied.
âYou...â Long Chengyu and Long Muxi were rendered speechless.
âE-e-enough! Whatâs with this f-f-farce! No one can change my b-b-brotherâs mind! Weâll go by ourselves even if y-y-you donât bring us along!â Wang Qiang said, implying that he was going as well.
âIâm going too,â Bai Yunqing expressed. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThen Iâll be going as well,â Long Chengyu and Long Muxi said in unison.
âYou juniors are a headache to deal with.â The Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief sighed in resignation. âFine, weâll go together.â
He compromised, though he didnât think it was a bad thing. On the contrary, it was reassuring to have Chu Feng with them, especially since he was the one who saved them back then.
On the surface, Chu Fengâs cultivation was too low to make a decisive difference in this battle, but the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief still vividly remembered Chu Fengâs means. The power the latter wielded was unfathomable.
If Chu Feng still had that power, it would be difficult for them to lose this battle even if they wanted to.
The Totem Dragon Clansmen had been waiting for this day. It didnât take long for their army to be gathered in a neat formation in the sky, and their sheer number covered the sky.
Chu Feng hadnât saved so many people from Long Lin that day. The Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief must have gathered all the trustworthy clansmen here while he was away in preparation to reclaim the Totem Dragon Clan.
âGather!â
The huge army in the sky moved all at once, but they didnât head for the sacred landâs exit. Instead, they headed to two spirit formation gates in the sky that led to two formation realms.
They were planning for a surprise assault, so it would be counterproductive to travel openly.
Thus, the bulk of the clansmen would be stationed inside the two formation realms. These formation realms would be carried by their clan experts, and the clansmen would be released at an appropriate time to attack the enemy.
It was safer this way.
A person stood beside each of the two formation realms.
One was the chief of the Nine Flags Dragon Warriors, Lord Long Xu.
The other was a brawny, white-haired old man. He was Long Shengjun, the Totem Dragon Clanâs only grand elder. Rumor had it that he was no weaker than the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief.
He was out the day Long Lin staged the rebellion, or else things might have played out differently. It was a terrible coincidence, but the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief strongly believed that he was a trustworthy individual.
Long Xu and Long Shengjun were the ones responsible for carrying the two formation realms.
On the other hand, the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief was accompanied by less than a hundred clansmen, but they were the true elites of the clan. Among them were the Nine Flags Dragon Warriorsâ Long Junlin, Long Kuitian, Long Suqing, and many others.
Of these three groups, the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chiefâs group was the smallest, but their fighting prowess was the strongest.
They planned to have Long Xuâs group attack one of the bases that was critical to the Totem Dragon Clan, while Long Shengjunâs group attacked the Totem Dragon Clanâs headquarters. Both of them had the important mission of determining whether those who had reached out to them to switch allegiance over to their side were truly remorseful, or that it was a trap.
Meanwhile, the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief planned to lead his elites to the ancestral dragonâs forbidden land. Reclaiming the Totem Dragon Clan was only the secondary aim here; their primary goal was to ensure that the ancestral dragonâs remains were intact.
It didnât take long for the huge army in the sky to be squeezed into two formation realms.
Long Xu and Long Shengjun stowed away the formation realms before heading over to the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief.
âClan Chief, may I kill those traitors if they arenât truly remorseful?â Long Shengjun asked.
âGrand elder, Iâll leave the decision in your hands,â the Totem Dragon Clanâs Clan Chief replied.
âThose traitors deserve to die in the first place. Iâll massacre them if they dare to play tricks!â Long Shengjun sneered. He turned to Chu Feng and smiled. âYoung friend Chu Feng, I heard you were the one who saved our clan chief. Iâm glad to have you with us. Weâre in a rush to deal with those traitors right now, but letâs have a drink together once we return.â
âDefinitely.â Chu Feng accepted the offer.
He remembered how this old man had a gripe with him over an incident regarding their God Armaments when he first entered the Totem Dragon Clan, but he wasnât one to hold a grudge. He knew that the other party was just prioritizing their clanâs interests.
The three teams left the sacred land together.
Not all the Totem Dragon Clansmen left with them. Except for Long Chengyu and Long Muxi, all the Totem Dragon Clanâs juniors stayed behind in this sacred land since they wouldnât be of any help on the battlefield.
If they stayed behind, they were at least seeds of hope for the Totem Dragon Clan if something happened on the frontlines.
