Chapter 995 The Promise
Long Jinwei looked at his own body in amazement before retracting his aura.
He raised his head to look at Yun Lintian and said sincerely. “Thank you for giving me a new lease on life.”
“You don’t have to be polite, Senior. This can be treated as a deal. Besides, you are Third Sister’s grandfather. I am happy to help.” Yun Lintian replied with a smile.
Long Jinwei took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said with a serious expression. “I can guarantee. Your friends will be safe and sound.”
“Then I can be at ease.” What Yun Lintian was concerned about the most were Yun Qianxue and the others. He might be confident in his strength, but it was difficult for him to protect all of them. Not to mention, the enemies he would face next were coming in all directions. If the situation wasn’t right, he would escape to the Land of Beyond Heaven.
With Long Jinwei’s protection, he believed none of them would dare to cross the line.
At this moment, several people had arrived outside the courtyard.
“Father.” A dignified middle-aged man spoke solemnly. He was Long Clan’s current patriarch and Long Feiyan’s father, Long Guang.
His face was full of worries as he thought something had happened to Long Jinwei. Several people behind him were no exception. Once Long Jinwei fell, the consequence would be difficult to imagine.
“Except for Guang’er, everyone should go back first.” Long Jinwei’s voice resounded from within the courtyard, causing the hanging hearts of the people outside to get a little better.
Long Guang waved his hand and let everyone disperse before stepping into the courtyard.
When he entered the room, his entire body froze on the place as his eyes widened in disbelief. His blank gaze fixated on Long Jinwei, who was now younger than himself, without blinking.
“Father, you…” Long Guang swallowed hard. He felt as though he was having a hallucination right now.
“What’s wrong? You can’t remember me anymore?” Long Jinwei chuckled. Even though he had lived for thousands of years and his mood rarely changed, it didn’t prevent him from being happy after gaining a new life.
Seeing his son’s stupefied appearance, he couldn’t help but tease a bit.
Long Guang returned to his sense and asked. “What’s going on, father? How could you….”
As he spoke halfway, he suddenly noticed Yun Lintian’s existence and remembered a recent news piece he had received.
“Are you…?” He asked in doubt.
“Junior Yun Lintian greets Patriarch Long.” Yun Lintian cupped his fists and said politely.
“So you are Yan’er’s junior brother.” Long Guang nodded slightly. The doubt on his face didn’t fade in the slightest as he continued. “Could it be…?”
“You don’t have to guess. It’s Little Friend Yun who saved me.” Long Jinwei interrupted him.
“I called you here because I want you to keep my condition secret. Except for everyone here, no one shall be allowed to know it.” His expression because serious as he said.𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶
As a patriarch of the clan, Long Guang was naturally intelligent. He immediately understood his father’s intention. “Understood, father.”
He hesitated briefly and asked. “How long do you have, father?”
“Two hundred years.” Long Jinwei didn’t hide it. “It’s more than enough.”
On the side, Yun Lintian added. “As long as Senior Long can break through to the next realm, your lifespan will increase drastically.”
“The next realm….” A trace of yearning emerged in the depth of Long Jinwei’s eyes. He shook his head and said. “Unless we can break the world’s boundary, it’s impossible for me.”
“And breaking the boundary will cause a lot of problems. It could lead to another disaster.” Long Guang added. As an expert at the peak of the Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm, he was well aware of how difficult to step into the legendary divine profound realm.
Without breaking the world’s boundaries, it was impossible to make further progress.
Yun Lintian smiled and said nothing. He had already confirmed with Hongyue and Lauya that as long as he could collect the fundamental element of the Beyond Heaven Relics, everyone in the Land of Beyond Heaven could break through to the divine profound realm with no problem.
This had to thank the Skymist Pearl that constantly transformed the profound energy in the Land of Beyond Heaven into divine energy.
Long Guang suddenly bowed his head toward Yun Lintian and said solemnly. “Please accept this bow, Young Master Yun. You are the benefactor of our Long Clan. No matter what happens in the future, we will stand by your side to the end.”
The information he got not long ago was naturally related to a young man who had successfully pulled the Heavenly Sword out. With his network, it was easy for him to investigate Yun Lintian’s identity.
Furthermore, there was a piece of information about him circulated among the top factions. Obviously, someone had deliberately revealed it.
Therefore, Long Guang was aware that Yun Lintian had become the enemy of everyone in the world. However, he wasn’t afraid of anyone. That was why he didn’t hesitate to make such a solemn statement.
Yun Lintian wasn’t stupid. When he heard this, he immediately understood everything. Someone was trying to kill him by borrowing others’ knives.
He shook his head and said. “Thank you, Patriarch Long. However, there’s no need to risk your clan for me. I don’t help Senior Long because I want you to stand on my side and fight the enemy with me.”
He looked into Long Guang’s eyes and said further. “You might think I am too arrogant, but I am confident about dealing with them alone. I am worried that someone might cross the line and harm the people around me. Which I believe they will.”
“I will send my people to the Northern Continent. As long as they dare to appear, they can forget about leaving alive. You don’t have to worry about it.” Long Guang made a promise.
Yun Lintian nodded. Even though there were Qingxuan, Lu Bo, and Lin Canghai guarding the Northern Continent, he wasn’t at ease since Qingxuan was unreliable. What if her mood wasn’t good? He couldn’t afford the consequnce.
He turned to Long Jinwei. “Senior, how much do you know about the Poison Valley?”
A cold glint flashed through Long Jinwei’s eyes as he seemed to recall an unpleasant past. “You can ask away.”
