Chapter 672 Conflict
Long Xue’er’s grandmother had a look of disbelief on her face when Lu Yu mentioned his parents’ names.
She shook her head slightly and continued, “I know your parents. But… I don’t know where they went missing.”
“But there have always been rumors that they were last seen by the lake.”
Lu Yu frowned slightly. “By the lake? There are many possibilities if that’s the case.”
“Yes, there are many possibilities. For example, some beasts in the lake attacked the two by the shore, or they drowned in the lake. All of them are possible.”
“I don’t think these two scenarios are right. My parents must still be alive!”
Lu Yu suddenly thought of something. He looked at Xu Mo and asked, “Didn’t you meet someone before? You said the person accidentally met my parents in the ancient dragon tomb and learned about me!”
Xu Mo touched his nose and nodded slightly. “That’s true, but the man is dead. I don’t know the exact details.”
“It’s definitely my parents,” Lu Yu continued. “They must have some way to predict my talent in advance accurately!”
He quickly looked at the old lady and asked, “Other than my parents, has anyone else entered this ancient city?”
“Well… I’m not too sure about that. Only your parents have our permission to enter the ancient city openly.”
“You mean, there are still people who could enter secretly?”
“Yes, it’s not just the military that wants to investigate us. There are other forces at work too. They won’t follow the rules., and they would throw away their lives just to discover our secret,”
She sighed and continued, “Since you’re sure your parents are still alive, there’s no doubt they’re in the lake. As for where they are, I don’t know.”
Lu Yu continued to ask curiously, “I want to know why you allowed my parents to enter this place and not anyone else?”
“It’s because your parents have a connection to the dragons. Every time the two enter this ancient dragon tomb, the sleeping dragons will react. For example, there will be a blizzard on the snow mountain where the frost dragon sleep. There will also be various strange phenomena in the sleeping spots of the fire and lava dragons!”
“We all agree that the two are related to the dragon, so we let them enter this ancient city. After all, they will likely be the ones who awakened the dragons…”
“Unfortunately, they disappeared after living in the ancient city for a short time…”
As she spoke, the old lady showed a regretful expression as if she missed the two of them very much.
“Alright, I see…”
Lu Yu sighed helplessly. It seemed that was all the information he could get. But at the very least, he could confirm that his parents were in the lake!
This was a good enough clue for Lu Yu.
Lu Yu stood and pondered about how to find his parents or how to wake up the legendary dragons; he was clueless about how to do both of these.
“My dad went to Long Kui and the others to demand an explanation. I think they will fight, so let’s go and take a look.” Long Xue’er spoke up with a worried tone.
“That’s right,” the old lady answered quickly. “You guys go and take a look. Don’t let anything happen…”
Lu Yu didn’t reply but just followed Long Xue’er out of the villa.
After leaving the villa, they planned to walk to their destination.
Lu Yu and the others walked along a small path by the lake. There was green grass on one side, and on the other, there were the lake and mountains. Occasionally, a few people would pass by. The city was divided in two by the lake, with buildings on either side. If someone wanted to go from one city to another, they had to cross the lake.
“Many people are moving around. It seems like a battle is about to break out.” Long Xue’er stated in a whisper while observing their surroundings.
“Oh? Will the battle between your two factions be intense?” Lu Yu asked.
“I can’t say for sure, but we’ve never reached an agreement before. Now that time is running out, I don’t think we can continue this peace.”
“People are gathering. I think the battle is about to start.” Lu Yu looked ahead. He saw a group of seemingly lively people gathering around the city walls on the seal faction side.
Lu Yu and the others could gradually hear some noisy quarrels. It seemed that some conflicts had been triggered.
Lu Yu and the rest gradually got closer, and they could slowly discern what the noise was about.
At that moment, Long Xue’er ran out quickly and forward.
She saw Long Jue standing in the crowd, shouting loudly.
“Long Kui, get the hell out here! I won’t let you off today, and it’s time to settle the score between us!”
At that moment, a figure slowly walked over from the other side of the door.
It was Long Kui. He was nearly two meters tall, and his muscles looked as hard as iron. His black martial arts suit outlined his strong body, and a long scar on his face made him look ever so ferocious.
“Long Jue, have you finally caved into your battle desire? What do you want, coming here?”
“Cut the crap. You sent someone to kidnap my daughter and want to kill her! I’m not done with you!”
Long Kui rubbed his chin. He was a little surprised that this had been exposed.
“Hey, stop it with the slander. Which eye of yours saw that I did it?”
“I know, you just can’t stand our way of thinking and think we’re all different. Since we can’t come to an agreement, then let’s fight!” He spread out his hands and put on a goading look.
Long Han calmed down and sneered, “You look burly and tall, but deep down, you’re a coward!”
Long Kui’s eyes turned fierce as he stared down. “How dare you say that? I’m going to kill you!”
Long Jue laughed disdainfully as Long Kui’s reaction proved that he was right.
“Come on then! Bring your men and get out here! You’d better give me a satisfying answer, and don’t think that I don’t have evidence of your wrongdoings. The people of Black Horn Village said that it was your people who did it!”
Long Kui’s face turned cold as he cursed the trash inwardly.
“So where is your witness? Bring him over!”
Long Jue pursed his lips, and his aura weakened a little. “He’s already dead. Fortunately, someone who passed by saved my daughter, and she was able to escape. They are all my witnesses!”
“Call these people of yours over, and let me see who it is!” Long Kui’s eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and his tone was as cold as the wind. He couldn’t wait to tear those witnesses into pieces!
At that moment, Long Xue’er ran over. She passed through the crowd and arrived at Long Jue’s side.
“Dad, I’m here!”
Then, she immediately looked at Long Kui and spat fiercely, “You bastard, how dare you try to kill me? I will definitely not let you off!”
Behind them, Lu Yu and the others also walked over one after another. Long Kui’s heart was filled with anger, and the conflict between the two sides was inevitable.
