Chapter 697 (2/2)

Otherwise, if the Fang family had an alliance with a person like Long Chen, one with limitless potential, just how perfect would that have been? But there was no way to go back in time .

“Many… thanks…”

Fang Mingyuan said these final two words before closing his eyes . Another generation’s expert fell .

Long Chen sighed . He felt extremely uncomfortable inside . He rarely trusted others, but anyone who he trusted, he trusted completely . This was his first time feeling so betrayed . He felt a stabbing pain .

He went to their corpses . He dug a large hole and buried the two of them . He didn’t even touch their treasures . He buried them all .

Long Chen merely took Chai Gaoyang’s ident.i.ty plate before leaving . All he left behind was a chaotic battlefield .

Looking from an aerial point of view, it seemed as if something had cut a long wound into the earth . A cool breeze blew by, desolate and bleak .

Long Chen rushed off . Just now, Fang Mingyuan and Chai Gaoyang had activated a transportation formation to bring him several thousand miles away . He reckoned that they had wanted to kill him in a secluded place .

He was going straight toward Pill Yang City . Taking advantage of the night, he changed his face and used Chai Gaoyang’s ident.i.ty plate to enter the Seven Treasure Jewel Tower’s storehouse . He directly went to where the beast flames were kept .

The guards here all recognized his ident.i.ty plate . Long Chen easily went in .

Long Chen directly released Huo Long, and it didn’t stand on courtesy . It directly devoured hundreds of beast flames .

Now Huo Long was truly satisfied . Only then did Long Chen stealthily leave the Seven Treasure Jewel Tower .

He found that Pill Yang City was in a complete mess . The Huo family had been destroyed, while the Fang and Chai families had suffered a sneak attack . Danger was everywhere . Some people were hiding, while others were fleeing .

Long Chen switched into some ordinary robes, acting the part of an ordinary martial cultivator . Looking at the Fang Manor from a distance, he saw Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo nervously waiting .

Long Chen sighed and left . His figure disappeared into the night…

When the day came, the news that the Huo, Fang, and Chai families had undergone an all-out war with each other shook all of Pill Yang Prefecture . The Huo family’s destruction caused countless people’s jaws to drop .

The result of their battle had been the destruction of the Huo family, but the Fang and Chai families had also taken grievous losses . Both their families heads, as well as the Fang family’s legendary Long San, had disappeared .

The Fang and Chai families underwent a large scale search . Half a month later, they finally found scars of a terrifying battle in a barren land . Then, after searching through the soil, they found their two families heads’ corpses .

At the same time, they found a half destroyed body wearing Long San’s robes . Those robes proved this semi-destroyed corpse was Long San .

They concluded that Long San and the others had run into shockingly powerful enemies here, and as a result, both sides had lost their lives to take down their opponents . That was because they found all kinds of broken body pieces around . It was impossible to tell exactly how many people there had been .

Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo had burst into tears right then and there . In this one day, they had not only lost the pillars of their families, but they had also lost a good brother .

They had immediately brought Long San’s corpse back into the Fang family and buried it in their ancestral land .

When the alchemy world learned that Long San, a generation’s top genius, had died, there was not one person that didn’t sigh in lament . He had only just become the champion of the Pill Emperor Compet.i.tion and had just been about to dazzle the world when he fell .

This news caused Pill Valley to send someone to take a look . But they only did take one look before leaving .

Before leaving, all they had said was that the Seven Treasure Jewel Tower’s beast flames had been stolen, and that damage would have to be compensated by the Fang and Chai families . As for the destruction of the Huo family, as long as the sales of medicinal pills didn’t decline, they wouldn’t investigate this matter any further .

In truth, to Pill Valley, the Pill Towers were just ways for them to interact with the mundane world . They didn’t care who came to look after these strongholds . All they cared about was that this stronghold didn’t look bad and made money .

This was also why the three families had dared to fight so openly .

Originally, the Huo family had been the rising star, waiting for the moment to completely devour the other two families . But that plan had been ruined by Long San . As a result, before the decisive battle, their strength had sharply fallen, and it was them that were devoured by the other two families instead .

Currently, the Pill Tower was truly the land of the Fang and Chai families . But Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo didn’t feel any happiness . Instead, they felt endless pressure .

All the heavy responsibilities had fallen on their shoulders overnight . But the name of Pill Valley was something no one could provoke . No one dared to do anything to the Pill Tower .

Provoking Pill Valley? In this world, there really were few powers that dared to be that crazy . So despite the Huo family’s destruction, the rest of the Pill Tower was completely safe .

As for Long Chen, the one who had caused this chaotic conclusion, he had long since stepped onto a transportation formation and returned to Su Prefecture, rus.h.i.+ng back to the Xuantian Supermonastery .

When he saw that familiar mountain gate, Long Chen finally had a feeling of a loafer son returning home . Here were his loved ones, here were his brothers, here were the ones he wanted to protect .

“Brothers, I, Long Chen, have returned!” Long Chen suddenly roared, his roar shaking the sky .
