Inside the main hall, everyone dispersed, leaving only the old clan chief sitting quietly. The entire hall seemed empty, and the old man's figure appeared somewhat lonely.
"Sigh..."
After a long while, the old man sighed.
"Why are you sighing, Chief?" At that moment, a voice came from the main hall. Although it was clearly right in front of the clan leader, no one could see who was speaking.
"I'm tired. I'm getting old, and I feel a bit overwhelmed."
The old clan chief slowly leaned back, leaning his back against the chair to ease his fatigue. At this moment, he looked like an ordinary old man exhausted in spirit.
"There's nothing we can do. After all, you're in charge. Since you're in charge, you have to handle these tedious household matters." The voice said calmly.
"Forget it, let's not talk about troublesome things. What do you think of this father and son?" Mentioning this matter, the old clan leader sat up straight again.
"That Long Zhantian is very strong. He actually sensed my presence. He's stronger than any elder in the main hall." The voice said.
The old clan leader nodded and asked again, "What about that child?"
"He has a divine artifact on him, blocking my detection. This kid's background must be extraordinary." The voice said.
"He can actually block your detection. Then the divine artifact on him must be extraordinary." The old clan leader was slightly surprised, but then smiled and said,
"No matter their background, as long as they pass the investigation by the Purple Blood Divine Array, have no hostility toward our Purple Blood clan, and are children of our bloodline, then they are considered one of us."
"Regarding Luo Zichuan, how do you plan to handle it? This time, the Luo and Bi families are locked in a clash of needles and wheat awns, and unless a strong one is clearly distinguished, things won't settle down. "The voice said.
Mentioning the matter between these two families, the old clan leader couldn't help but cover his forehead: "This is really a headache. Now that the world has returned to its place and all the Dao has revived, there are many things waiting for us to do, yet they have started making a scene themselves."
This matter is complicated. If not handled well, the two families could become blood feuds and could become a wildfire.
When we return to Imperial Mountain and bring the fire seed along, I'll become a sinner for all eternity. "
Whenever the issue between the two families was mentioned, the old clan leader felt like his head was about to split open; he could never find a way to resolve the conflict between the two families.
"Forget it, let's put this matter off for now. That father and son just arrived, so we have an excuse to put it aside." The old clan leader said.
The voice warned, "I'm afraid the arrival of this father and son will only add fuel to the fire. If things go wrong, it could only intensify the conflict."
"Things are on fire, so focus on the present! However, I have a feeling that the arrival of that little one shouldn't be a bad thing,"
the old man said calmly.
...
In the "Grandfather"
quiet room, when Long Chen saw Luo Zichuan, he nearly lost his temper on the spot. Luo Zichuan's left arm was severed, and purple runes at the cut were like fierce maggots, continuously gnawing at his flesh and blood.
Luo Zichuan's face was as pale as paper, unconscious, his whole body wrapped in formations, his breath barely visible. Seeing his proud grandfather in such a state, Long Chen was on the verge of tears.
"Who did it?"
Long Chen gritted his teeth, his face twisted with rage, wishing he could find the culprit immediately and tear him to pieces.
"Chen'er, stay calm. The seniors are here, please don't be rude." Long Zhantian patted Long Chen on the shoulder and said.
Long Chen shouted and shouted here, speaking in a questioning tone, which was really inappropriate.
"It's fine. The fact that this child is so angry shows he's a person of deep loyalty and sentiment." Luo Yingchen said,
"Long Chen, you don't need to worry. Your grandfather has been affected by the Purple Blood Spirit Devouring Technique. We've already managed his injuries. With time, he'll gradually recover.
But this arm will never grow back."
Upon hearing that Luo Zichuan was about to be disabled for life, Long Chen's heart ached. Grandfather was such a proud man—how could he endure such humiliation?
"Actually, it's not necessarily impossible to have one." Long Zhantian interjected.
"Father, do you have a way?" Long Chen said excitedly.
Long Zhantian looked at the unconscious Luo Zichuan and said, "The reason your grandfather's arm couldn't grow is because he advanced to the Divine Empress level, and all the bloodline power was used to condense the Divine Emperor's crown."
If you want to grow arms, you have to sacrifice the Divine Emperor's crown..."
"How can that work?" Long Chen was shocked.
If that were the case, Luo Zichuan would definitely rather sacrifice an arm than let his realm fall.
"Don't worry. Listen to me. Your grandfather doesn't have the extra strength to regenerate his arm, but you do!" Long Zhantian said with a smile.
"That's right!"
Long Chen slapped his thigh. The purple blood in his body came from his mother, and his mother's blood came from his grandfather. There was only a generation between them. When Long Chen's purple blood power was strong enough, he could fully use it to help Luo Zichuan rebuild his arm.
"Dad, you're really too clever." Long Chen couldn't help but praise.
"You're just worried and confused, which is why you haven't thought of this. Don't worry. Once you condense the Purple Blood Dragon Vein and reach the peak of Heavenly Saint, and the Purple Blood power is strong enough, you can heal your grandfather." Long Zhantian said.
Hearing this conversation between father and son, Luo Yingchen and the others couldn't help but feel both surprised and delighted. This meant the Luo family was truly blessed—after all, Luo Zichuan was the family's future hope.
Luo Zichuan had both strength and strategy, balancing wisdom and martial prowess. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the Bi family envied him, leading to today's disaster.
At this moment, Long Chen was in a much better mood. He walked over to his grandfather and said through the formation,
"Grandpa, it's me, Chen'er. I'm here too. Please rest in peace. Leave everything here to me."
Although Luo Zichuan was unconscious, he seemed to hear Long Chen's voice. His head trembled slightly, as if nodding.
Seeing Luo Zichuan's response, Long Chen immediately clenched his fists. He wanted to investigate thoroughly. If the other party truly committed wrongdoing, Long Chen would have to make the Bi family pay a heavy price.
He couldn't accept that his grandfather had sacrificed so much for the Purple Blood lineage, only to end up like this. He was nearly losing his mind.
Compared to Long Chen's madness, Long Zhantian appeared very calm. Only then did Long Chen remember why his father insisted on bringing him to the Purple Blood Clan.
Because the internal affairs of the Purple Blood Clan are too complicated, as an outsider, it's hard for him to intervene. If he tries to intervene forcefully, not only will he fail to help Grandpa, but it might even drag down the entire Luo family.
Long Zhantian seemed to have anticipated the internal situation of such a large family and was used to it all.
After leaving Luo Zichuan, countless disciples of the Luo family had already gathered at the Luo family plaza.
When these disciples saw Long Chen, they couldn't help but shout excitedly:
"Senior Brother Long Chen!"
Long Chen saw that these were all disciples of the Minghao Tianluo family, some of whom were very familiar faces. Seeing them, Long Chen couldn't help but feel a bit excited.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, do you still remember me? I'm Luo Fang. "
I am Rocky...
"I am ...."
Meeting Ming Haotian's old acquaintance here, the disciples were extremely excited. Long Chen was also somewhat moved and hurriedly said:
"I remember, I remember, I remember everything..."
In reality, Long Chen only remembered a few faces, but everyone was so enthusiastic that he had to say a few insincere things; otherwise, saying he didn't know you would hurt their feelings.
"I thought some big shot had arrived in our Luo family, but it turns out he's a rookie who hasn't even formed a single dragon vein!"
Just as Long Chen was fiercely arguing with the Luo family disciples, a neutral voice rang out.
