Chapter 1349 The higher you climb, the harder you fall.

"Third Elder, please immediately order people to prepare a banquet to welcome our benefactor, Master Gu, and Mr. Long." As he spoke, Long Yuting led everyone into the gate and ordered an old man.

"I have already made arrangements when I saw my benefactor. I must have started making arrangements now. We will go directly to the dining room and we will have dinner in a while." The third elder of the Long family said with a smile.

Let’s eat! Upon hearing these two words, Murong Yi's face not only turned green, but both of her eyes began to glow green.

She missed the cooking skills of the famous chef of the Long family very much.

Gu Qingxi glanced at her thoughtfully: No wonder Murong Yi did not travel around as before after arriving in Tiancang Continent, but stayed at the Long family. It turned out to be this reason.

The people of the Long family were so knowledgeable that Murong Yi had already started preparing a banquet for her before she even entered the house.

With Murong Yi's foodie nature, it would be strange for him to be reluctant to leave.

"Master of the Long Family, what about the young descendants of the Long Family? Why are there so many missing?" When they came to the dining room, Murong Yi looked around and asked strangely.

Although the Long family has been in decline for many years, it has always been prosperous, and the dining room used to be packed every time it was time to eat.

Today is the day for them to catch the wind and wash away the dust. Logically speaking, it should be more lively, but instead the hall is much deserted, and nearly one-third of the tables and chairs are empty.

After taking a closer look, the elders of the Long family were quite present, but most of the young people were absent, not even Long Jingyu.

"They... are preparing for the inheritance ceremony, so I didn't let them come over." Long Yuting hesitated for a moment, and finally said frankly.

"Inheritance ceremony?" Murong Yi was a little confused.

"My benefactor may not know that our Long family has been inherited for tens of thousands of years. When we were at our strongest, we were one of the four major demon cultivating families." Long Yuting said.

Hearing his words, Gu Qingxi and Murong Yi were greatly surprised.

They had vaguely heard Long Jingyu say that the Long family had a long history and had good strength before, but they did not expect that the Long family had such a long history and had such "good" strength.

"Then how did the Long family become like this?" Murong Yi asked in confusion.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. As one of the four great magic cultivating families, how could the Long family have no foundation at all? Even if it declines again, they won't be bullied like this by the Tang family, right?

You must know that the group of Tang family disciples who were beaten to death by her just now were all in the late Nascent Soul stage, and most of the other disciples were not even golden elixirs.

"This is related to the inheritance ceremony I mentioned." Long Yuting smiled bitterly and explained, "Our Long family has an ancestral secret that is said to have the power to shake the heavens and the earth.

It is by relying on this unique skill that our Long family can rank among the four major magic cultivating families. However, more than a thousand years ago, the seventh head of the Long family died unexpectedly, and this unique skill was lost. As a result, our Long family fell into ruin and gradually declined to what it is today.

Originally, the ancestors who founded the Long Family had already been prepared for this, and had left behind a inheritance hall. Even if the master of the family did not personally teach it, the secret skill could continue to be passed down.

But at the same time that the seventh head of the family died unexpectedly, the elder responsible for guarding the inheritance hall also fell into the demonic energy and died. Therefore, over the years, the inheritance hall has been tightly sealed by the forbidden formation, and no one can learn that secret skill anymore. . "

So that's it. Gu Qingxi and Murong Yi suddenly realized.

Situations like the Long family are not uncommon in the world of cultivation. Many aristocratic families and sects rose to power because of a secret skill, but were knocked back to their original form due to an accidental loss of the secret skill, or even because they offended too many people. Falling apart is also common.

The higher you climb, the harder you fall. This is the kind of family and sect that we are talking about.

The Long family was once among the four great magic cultivating families. It is actually very rare that it can still stand for thousands of years after the ancestral secrets were lost.

I don’t know how much effort the descendants of the Long family have spent and how many twists and turns they have gone through to survive until today. Both Gu Qingxi and Murong Yi couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Neither of them noticed that Long Qianli looked deeply at Long Yuting, with rare excitement in his eyes, and his hands under the table trembled slightly.
