Chapter 670 Ancient City In Turmoil
Long Xue’er took the lead and walked inside the ancient city. Most buildings were built with clay bricks, and only a small portion was modernized.
Clearly, they had made some deals with the military. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to build these modernized buildings. The hundreds of thousands of people in this valley didn’t have any scientific development for advanced technologies.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to see my dad, and you two can get to know each other.” Long Xue’er said with a smile.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea to see him right after we come,” Xu Yuan answered warily. “Besides, don’t you guys reject outsiders?”
“Don’t worry; my dad loves me very much. He will definitely thank you if he knows that you saved me.”
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “Alright, please continue leading the way.”
Long Xue’er turned around and started to walk forward. “I’m sure you can have a good chat with him. We don’t need to seal ourselves off anymore, so he should be able to help you answer some questions.”
“By the way, the people who kidnapped you and wanted to kill you seemed to be from the other faction. If he knew about this, wouldn’t he start a fight?”
Lu Yu asked curiously.
“That’s possible. After all, I almost died there.”
“If my dad knows about this, he’ll probably go to the other faction and demand an explanation.”
Lu Yu sighed. “It seems that the closer the date that the emissary comes, the crazier they will be.”
“If they can destroy us before the emissary arrives, he will be useless. But they won’t be able to defeat us so easily,” Long Xue’er sighed and continued, “We’ve always been two evenly matched forces.”
Very quickly, under Long Xue’er’s lead, Lu Yu and the others saw a manor by the lake.
The manor was built on a large open plot of land, and a pavilion on the lake was connected to it via a water bridge.
A villa stood erect in the middle of the manor, similar to the Freedom Federation’s luxury villas. It seemed like he had obtained it after making a deal with the military.
There were beautiful gardens in the front and back courtyards of the villa, and the surrounding greenery looked serene.
Long Xue’er took the lead and arrived at the entrance of the manor.
When the guards at the entrance saw Long Xue’er, they hastily greeted her with surprise, “Miss Xue’er, you’re finally back! Master was so worried about you that he almost sent out the entire army!”
Long Xue’er walked through the gates calmly. “Don’t worry. I’m back, aren’t I?”
The guard pointed at Lu Yu and the rest and asked in confusion, “Miss, these people are…”
“Don’t worry about it; just guard the gates.”
Long Xue’er replied nonchalantly and walked into the front courtyard.
Lu Yu’s group of six also walked in and saw the flowers in full bloom around them; they were in a much better mood after that.
At this time, a person was sitting on a chair at the villa’s entrance. When he saw Long Xue’er, he quickly stood up.
He shouted, “Xue’er, where have you been? You made me so worried!”
Upon hearing this, Long Xue’er ran over and threw herself into his arms.
“Dad, I almost couldn’t see you again!”
Long Jue lowered his head and stroked Long Xue’er’s head. He then raised his head and looked at Lu Yu and the others with a vigilant look.
“Tell me what happened. If someone dares to hurt you, I will never let them go!”
Long Xue’er hurriedly raised her head and looked at Long Jue. Her eyes were filled with tears as she sobbed, “Dad, when I was gathering spiritual herbs outside, I was suddenly knocked unconscious and transported to Black Horn Village. They wanted to kill me there!”
Long Jue’s face darkened, and he frowned. He immediately had the answer to why this had happened.
“It’s that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Long Kui. d.a.m.n him to h.e.l.l; how could he dare touch you? Does he want to go to war with us?”
Long Jue angrily burst out.
Long Xue’er turned around and pointed at Lu Yu’s group, saying, “Dad, they were pa.s.sing by the village and were kind enough to save me.”
Long Jue looked at Lu Yu and the others, and his anger subsided a little. He asked firmly, “Thank you for your help, but you guys aren’t dragon descendants, are you?”
“That’s right. We’re from the military. We’re a new archaeological team dispatched here.”
“How many batches of you are coming? Are you still not done?”
Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders helplessly. “We have no choice. It’s a mission from the higher-ups.”
“According to the rules, you can’t leave after reaching here. This ancient city is a sealed place!”
“But at this point, forget it…”
He muttered in helplessness.
“Dad, are you going to fight Long Kui? Why don’t we just kill him so he won’t ruin our plans?”
“That guy’s crazy. He’ll do anything to achieve his goal!”
“You’re right; it does seem like it’s time for a fight, and it seems like this is the only thing I can do.”
Long Jue sighed. “I knew we would have to decide the leading faction sooner or later. Now, the time has come. It’s time for me to make my move!”
At that moment, a butler walked over and stood beside Long Jue.
“Master, what should we do next?”
“Gather everyone and prepare for a fight to the death!” Long Jue declared.
The butler’s expression changed, and he asked in fear, “Master, we have about 150,000 men here and 20,000 outside the city. Should we gather them all?”
“The number of people on both sides is equal, but we definitely have a slight edge on our side.”
“Go and gather our men. I’ll go and have a talk with that guy!”
After hearing Long Jue’s order, the butler turned around and left to gather the troops.
“Come, let’s go to Long Kui’s manor!”
Long Jue declared, and a few burly men in red armor walked out. They held weapons and followed Long Jue.
“You guys wait here; I’m going to go over and fight Long Kui to the death, and he’ll know my might!”
“Dad, if you go ahead, what if they don’t bother waiting and attack you immediately with his troops? Wouldn’t that be bad?” Long Xue’er asked with some concern.
Long Jue turned his head to look at Long Xue’er and replied, “Don’t worry, as he wouldn’t dare to do that. He will be having a lovely talk with me. Otherwise, these hundreds of thousands of soldiers will destroy his place!”
After he finished speaking, Long Jue led his men out of the manor.
Long Xue’er stood still. She was at a loss for a moment and didn’t know what to do.
“It seems like there’s going to be chaos here.”
Xu Yuan commented as he walked to Lu Yu’s side. “What should we do next? Are we just going to wait?”
Lu Yu lowered his head and pondered. He was also at a loss, as he had come to find his parents, but there were no clues.
Lu Yu suddenly raised his head. “According to the information I received from the military, among the archaeologists who came here, only my parents got along well with the dragon descendants. Perhaps they had already been here more than ten years ago!”
