Chapter 673 Purging The Outsiders
After Long Kui saw Long Xue’er, he immediately grinned.
“Long Xue’er, I’m glad that I can see you again. I heard that you were kidnapped, and that would be bad. Don’t worry; I’ll help you find the culprit!”
“Stop your nonsense. You were the one who sent people to kidnap me and cart me out. You were planning to kill me in Black Horn Village so that you wouldn’t be discovered!”
The corner of Long Kui’s mouth twitched, and his tone turned cold. “Fine, tell me who saved you. I will repay him well.”
Long Xue’er knew what he was thinking, and she widened her eyes in worry.
“Lu Yu, you guys return first!” She quickly turned around and shouted.
However, Lu Yu had already passed through the crowd and arrived at Long Xue’er’s side.
“You… you must go back! We’ll deal with the things here!”
“It’s not like I’m going to give you any trouble. Just let me stay here.”
Lu Yu replied indifferently, not taking her caution to heart.
Long Xue’er hurriedly walked over and pushed Lu Yu’s shoulders with both hands, saying, “You must leave quickly. This is our internal matter, so you’d better head back and rest.”
However, Lu Yu stood still on the spot. Long Xue’er wasn’t strong enough, and she couldn’t budge Lu Yu at all.
“It’s you, kid? You’re so young and look like a talented youngling.” Long Kui laughed out loud.
Long Xue’er facepalmed and heaved a long sigh.
Long Jue stared at Long Kui and stated, “This matter has nothing to do with them. If you act rashly, I will not sit by and do nothing.”
Long Kui’s smile disappeared, and his face hardened.
“Oh, really? If I’m not wrong, this Lu Yu person isn’t a dragon descendant, right? He doesn’t have the surname—Long!”
Long Jue clenched his fists. “What are you trying to say?”
“Since he’s not a dragon descendant, he’s an outsider. There’s no problem with me dealing with an outsider, right?”
“Don’t even think about it. The time for the dragons’ revival is almost here, and our secret can’t be kept any longer. It’s okay if an outsider comes; besides, he saved my daughter!”
“The time is almost here? Have your mother’s predictions always been this accurate? It could be tomorrow, next month, or even next year!”
“Don’t you know how long we dragon descendants have been waiting? It had been thousands of years! I wouldn’t be surprised even if she were off by a few decades!”
Long Kui declared heatedly.
“Now that you’ve brought him in, what if he spreads our secret? When that time comes, everyone outside here will rush to us. What can we do with just a few hundred thousand people?”
Long Kui’s words left Long Jue at a loss for words. However, he knew that Long Kui was only finding an excuse to take revenge on Lu Yu.
“I won’t let you do anything to him!” Long Jue declared decisively.
“Ho? This is the clan rule; if you dare disobey, that would be a great disrespect. I will deal with this outsider today, or else we will go to war!”
“I’m sure the losses in a chaotic battle involving hundreds of thousands of people will not be small, right?”
Long Kui’s words infuriated Long Jue and made him grit his teeth.
He didn’t know what to say. The clan rules were ironclad, and he would never dare disobey them. If he forced the war—when he had no reason to—the people fighting for him wouldn’t be happy.
After all, it didn’t make sense for them to turn against their clansmen for an outsider.
On the other hand, Long Kui had a legitimate reason to fight, a sacred reason—to protect their clan from destruction!
Long Jue heaved a long sigh with his brows tightly furrowed.
He was weighing the pros and cons and thinking about the consequences of his decision.
Long Xue’er looked at her father’s expression and got anxious. She gently pulled his arm, hoping he would listen to her opinion.
“Dad, he’s my savior!”
Long Xue’er said so in a slightly aggrieved manner. She would be ungrateful if she were to abandon her savior like this.
“Xue’er, do you really want to see our two factions go to war? A battle involving hundreds of thousands of people is huge. Only a few thousand people have gathered, and they’ve already surrounded this place. If we were to fight, this place would immediately be covered with corpses, and the lake will be full of dead bodies!”
Long Xue’er nodded helplessly with a disappointed expression, as she knew the price was too high. Moreover, it was impossible for Long Kui to give in; he was determined to get Lu Yu.
“Long Jue, I’m sorry for your daughter’s kidnapping. I promise you that it won’t happen again. If you want to fight me, we can do it alone. But now, I want this man’s life!”
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Lu Yu.
Long Jue also looked at Lu Yu, with everyone else doing the same.
The few people standing beside Lu Yu were a little flustered. They were in someone else’s territory, and getting out of here unscathed was difficult!
“What should we do? Should we fight them or leave?” Xu Mo spoke expressionlessly.
“Long Kui, if you want to fight with me, come! But I’m afraid you won’t dare to fight me!”
Lu Yu shouted.
When Long Kui heard this, he immediately burst out laughing. “Are you joking? Did you just say I don’t dare fight you? Do you know how strong I am?”
“Well, according to our Freedom Federation’s ranking, your strength is above diamond rank. So yes, you’re way stronger than me.”
“However, I’m certain you won’t dare fight me!”
Long Kui still found it funny, “Kiddo, tell me, why wouldn’t I fight you? ”
“Are you a dragon descendant? You don’t have the characteristics of a dragon on you, so it’s impossible that you can be considered one of us.”
“We’re the guardians of the Dragon God, appointed by his excellency himself. What are you, compared to us?”
Lu Yu only smiled. “Fine, let’s fight. Regardless, the dragon’s revival is an unstoppable force!”
“What nonsense are you talking about? You just can’t wait to die, can’t you?” These words angered Long Kui, the leader of the seal faction.
Bang!
The next moment, Long Kui kicked the iron gates open.
The crowd gathered at the main entrance instantly opened up and retreated far away. Long Jue also pulled Long Xue’er to the side to avoid getting accidentally injured.
Lu Yu and the rest, originally in the crowd, were suddenly left standing on an empty field.
Long Kui walked out, his eyes fixed on Lu Yu. He clenched his fists and walked over.
“You’re dead, kid. All of you are going to die! This is what you get for angering me!”
Long Kui spat viciously. Lu Yu had ruined his plan, which angered him to no end.
Boom!
In an instant, an astonishing aura burst out from Long Kui’s body, making everyone’s heart pump.
Facing a diamond-ranked powerhouse, Lu Yu felt an unprecedented sense of pressure. He knew he could die at the hands of this person before him at any time!
“Come on, let me see what you’re capable of!” Lu Yu shouted, yet was calm on the inside.
