"What, what excitement, bastard, what are you talking about?"
At this time, although Long Yuyun's body was full of thunder and lightning, he did not lose consciousness as before, "Eh? How come you are okay this time, Miss..." After a little observation and thinking, Qi Linfeng seemed to He also understood the difference, "Oh, I understand that the reason why the eldest lady was so violent before was probably because she was in an environment where huge amounts of spiritual power surged, and the external force was too strong, which caused the spiritual power in her body. The rampage caused the chain reaction of Lei Li, hmm...this should be correct."
This is the seemingly reasonable inference that Qi Linfeng can think of so far. As for whether it is true or not, no one knows. After all, he himself also understands that there is one untenable detail in this statement, that is She was Long Yuyun before, but she seemed not to be Long Yuyun's woman from the bottom of her heart.
"What are you muttering about, you rascal? What is going on? Why is the spiritual power and thunder in my body flowing towards my father out of my control? Also, why is there thunder in you? Aren’t you a fire-attributed spirit?”
"Well, Miss, this doesn't seem to be the point now. The point now seems to be that your father is absorbing the thunder power from both of us..." Qi Linfeng followed Long Xingtian's continuous After absorbing the thunder breath, the feeling of fatigue deep in his body seemed to become stronger and stronger, which made him really uncomfortable. With the continuous loss of thunder breath, the Qingtian Ancient Tower in the Qilin Wind Spirit Realm seemed to begin to permeate the air. A raging fire broke out. Although the ancient building was not damaged at all in the fire, as the flames became more intense, the entire spiritual realm was plunged into intense heat, which seemed to melt everything.
"What's going on? Why does my body feel so hot?" Qi Linfeng felt inexplicably hot all over his body at this time, as if he was in a sea of hell. But what surprised him was that although he felt a little uncomfortable, he felt more uncomfortable. It gives me an indescribable feeling of power. "Although it's hot, I feel that the hotter it is, the more power I have. Moreover, what's the reason for this inexplicable excitement..."
Qi Linfeng's change was completely a huge change within the body, and there was no change at all outside the body. Compared to Qi Linfeng, Long Yuyun had little impact this time, but as the thunder power continued to decrease, she The weakness became more obvious, and as the center of absorbing the two people's thunder breath, Long Xingtian's dense red and black lines at this time, as well as the evil spirit and demonic nature in his breath, were gradually suppressed. The person who originally wanted to summon the spirit was suppressed. The movement just stopped.
"That's great, Your Majesty. Your Majesty's evil aura seems to be being suppressed quickly. I didn't expect that the fifth lady's thunder breath could really improve His Majesty's condition."
Long Zhiyuan seemed to have noticed Long Yuyun's weak state at this time, and quickly released a large amount of spiritual power in his hands. "Elders, please use all your strength to activate the Dragon-Suppressing Demon-Suppressing Formation now!" At the same time, he hurriedly shouted to Long Yi beside him, " Third child! Why are you still standing there? Why don't you take my little sister away from here? She is weak now and cannot withstand such a consumption of her essence. Take her away from the formation quickly, the further away the better!"
"I know, I know!"
Long Yi immediately flew out and took Long Yuyun and Qi Linfeng away from the courtyard formation. As they moved away, the thunder power of Qi Linfeng and Long Yuyun gradually stopped flowing away, and the strange things in their bodies It was only then that calm was gradually restored, but behind them, Long Xingtian was gradually suppressed by the large formation, and the spiritual power and evil energy on his body were reduced and stabilized again, and Long Xingtian also fell into a semi-conscious and semi-awake state again, as if he was asleep. It usually gets quieter.
It was late at night, and it should have been a quiet moment in the dead of night. However, after such a huge movement in the Dragon Palace, it was difficult for the entire city to calm down. In the main hall of the palace, Long Zhiyuan was sitting on the dragon throne, and several people were sitting there. The elders stood on both sides. They all looked seriously injured and couldn't hide their weakness. Long Yuyun, Long Yi and Qi Linfeng looked like three children who had made a big mistake, their heads hanging fast. Let your chin touch your chest.
"You three! Do you know that you are wrong!?" Long Zhiyuan scolded sternly.
Long Yi smiled slightly and said: "Well, brother, I, we know we were wrong, but, but this is not because you didn't tell us in advance..." Long Zhiyuan said harshly: "Okay, third child , I haven’t talked about you yet. As the elder brother, the younger sister is fooling around. It’s okay to think that things are too simple and be taken advantage of. You are already a senior spiritual master. Don’t you even have the most basic ability to distinguish? What did you just say? Me, you think I destroyed my father and imprisoned him for several years? Are you idiots? That was my father, my father. Where did you hear such ridiculous rumors? !”
Long Yi was silent, but Long Yuyun was rather reticent, "Well, I'm not the eldest brother yet. You don't tell us anything, and you don't let me see my father. This makes others suspicious, and... ..."
"That's enough, little sister. I thought that after you went to Yuling Academy and studied for three years, you should have grown up in terms of strength and character. But it's better for you. You dare to do this after hearing some ridiculous rumors from the outside. Do you question your brother like that? Is this what the academy teaches you?" Seeing Long Yuyun's expression as if he was about to cry, Long Zhiyuan continued to scold, "And you!"
"Ah? Me? This, I'm just a spirit..." Qi Linfeng looked helpless, but he also understood that he was indeed at fault. After all, he had done something about the forest guardian dragon talisman before. Qi Linfeng admitted his suspicion without telling Long Zhiyuan immediately.
"You, although you are a familiar, you are a human-shaped familiar. To put it bluntly, you have the same thoughts and judgments as ordinary people. As my little sister's familiar, you must not only become her strength, but more importantly, Supervise her and don’t let her make wrong decisions or go down the wrong path. The spirit master and the spirit envoy are of the same mind. Neither of you can leave the other. Don’t you understand this? When you were in the academy before, I thought you were pretty cool. I didn’t expect someone who is sensible and courageous to be so confused!”
"I, we were wrong..." Seeing the three people admitting their mistakes, Long Zhiyuan's anger subsided slightly.
Long Yuyun couldn't help but ask: "Brother, we were wrong about what happened tonight, but why did my father become like that? What happened in the past few years?!" Long Yi was also full of worry, hoping that Long Zhiyuan could After telling them what happened and what happened, Long Zhiyuan shook his head and sighed, "That's enough. You don't need to know about this matter. Even if you do know, what can you do? I'm tired tonight. You can go back and reflect on it... .....”
But Long Yi and the others did not leave, they still had firm expressions on their faces, hoping to know from Long Zhiyuan what the specific situation of Long Xingtian was, "Brother, my father has become like this now, what will happen to my little sister and me?" Maybe you just sit back and watch, that's how you are. You don't tell us anything and always carry it alone. We are brothers and sisters. We don't say that we are qualified to know our father's current situation. Let's just say that you always handle everything quietly like this. Things will make people outside misunderstand you."
Long Zhiyuan snorted coldly, "Misunderstanding? So what if people outside misunderstand me? I, Long Zhiyuan, only serve my family and the Dragon Emperor family all my life. Even if everyone misunderstands me, I don't care!"
"Brother, don't you care if we misunderstand?"
Long Zhiyuan looked gloomy, "Third brother, the second brother died tragically back then. I can't let anything happen to any of you. Otherwise, how can I explain to my father, my deceased mother, and myself? There are many things that I don't want to tell you now." You, but your strength is facing these things, and you don’t even have the ability to protect yourself. You have improved yourselves in the academy in the past few years. When you have enough strength to match, naturally many things will be understood."
Long Yi looked at the deep self-blame in Long Zhiyuan's expression, and the memories of the past came to his mind, "Brother, my father and mother also said that my second brother died that year. It was not all your fault, brother." , if my second brother is still alive, I don’t want you to keep blaming yourself like this."
"It's not my fault. If I hadn't been young and energetic back then, and thought that the strength of the spiritual master was enough to protect you, how could I have led you into such a dangerous place... Everything is my big brother's fault..."
"Your Highness, don't blame yourself too much."
"Yes, Your Highness, His Highness must have never blamed you."
Listening to this, Qi Linfeng, as an outsider, was naturally a little puzzled, "Speaking of which, it seems that I have never seen your second brother in the past few days since I came to the Dragon Palace. So it sounds like your second brother died early? When? "What happened?" Long Yuyun also shook his head, "Actually, I have never met my second brother. My second brother passed away due to an accident before I was born. Although I have heard some things about my second brother's accident later, But no one in the specific family has ever said anything, and I heard that my father and mother personally issued a ban back then, not to discuss the second brother's affairs."
"So that's it..." Qi Linfeng gradually had another understanding of Long Zhiyuan at this time, "It seems that Long Zhiyuan is a good brother, or maybe he is still caring for his younger brother. You blame yourself for his death, so you don’t want Long Yuyun and Long Yi to get involved..."
But after what happened tonight, Long Yi seemed to no longer want to know anything. He was still asking for the truth about Long Zhiyuan's matter. With no choice, Long Zhiyuan was the one who slowed down what happened to Long Xingtian a few years ago. He said slowly, "Actually, if we really want to talk about it, we have to start from the time when my little sister was born."
"When was I born?" Long Yuyun was very surprised. He didn't expect that his father's current appearance would start from the time when he was born. Qi Linfeng was also full of curiosity.
"When my little sister was born, my mother passed away due to dystocia. My father was extremely grieved at that time. But at the same time, for some unknown reason, something difficult to suppress suddenly occurred in the forbidden area of the Dragon Abyss Secret Realm that our Dragon Emperor Family has guarded since ancient times. In order to suppress all the monsters in the forbidden area, my father often lived in the forbidden area."
Long Yi understood slightly, "No wonder I didn't see my father's face for several years at that time. It turned out that there was something unusual in the forbidden area. What happened next?"
"Later, from the time of the unusual movement in the forbidden area, bit by bit, wisps of evil energy escaped from the gaps in the supreme seal left by the ancestor of the Dragon God. It must have been from the forbidden area. The monsters were so cunning that they eroded the secret realm bit by bit in an undetectable amount, trying to break the seal. However, my father finally discovered it and spent his entire life's cultivation in time to forcibly suppress the monsters inside. , but just when my father wanted to strengthen the seal with the True Dragon Ancestor, he found that his own body was gradually invaded by evil spirits."
Qi Linfeng listened very carefully, "So this is where the evil spirit on the Dragon King comes from? Is it because of this that he looks so demonic and strange now?"
Long Zhiyuan sighed deeply, "Yes, these evil spirits have been eroding the origin of my father bit by bit over time. In the past few years, my father was able to suppress them with his own tyrannical strength and maintain his sanity and sobriety. , but three years ago, my father discovered that he was gradually losing consciousness. One night, the evil energy in his body went out of control and killed dozens of palace guards in a row, and even two elders died. This matter has always been a secret of our Dragon Emperor family, and we decided to keep it secret. My father later felt guilty and decided to retreat to suppress the evil spirit. But you have also seen the situation. In the past few years, my father has been worse than dead, but he cannot die, because once If he dies, my father will really transform into a real monster that takes pleasure in killing."
Long Yi suddenly felt something that could not be explained before, and now he suddenly understood, "So that's it. No wonder the two elders retired without any reason, and the palace even replaced nearly a hundred guards overnight. Brother, such a big brother Why didn’t you tell me what happened!”
When Long Yuyun heard this, he was already crying, "No, why is this happening? Has my father been enduring torture in the past few years..."
"Fortunately, our Dragon Emperor family has always had three secret treasures. Among them, the forest guardian dragon talisman is said to be the thunder breath of the ancestor of the Dragon God. It contains supreme thunder power. With this dragon talisman, we can also seal the seal. The strange points all over my father's body suppress the evil energy and completely invade his mind. The reason why I don't tell you is that even if I tell you, it won't help."
Long Yuyun found it difficult to accept, always looking sad, "Then, my father desperately wanted me to study in the academy three years ago, and he also made an engagement with the Zhou family. It was for... "
While Long Zhiyuan sighed, he couldn't help but show a bit of doting towards Long Yuyun, "Of course it's to make your situation less dangerous. Little sister, among the five of us brothers and sisters, your father loves you the most and is the most worried about you. It’s you too. When your mother had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to you, I don’t know if it was because of this that you had a weird physique when you were born, and your spiritual power was unable to operate as flexibly as normal people. Although we are direct members of the royal family, we often cannot Self-willed, because we are still burdened with the entire family, the entire Dragon Emperor family, and your weird spiritual power has caused you to be unable to show your extraordinary talent in the Yuling Road. Some elders and old people in the family have I’m quite critical of you.”
Only then did Long Yuyun realize that her eldest brother Long Zhiyuan did not dislike her sister as much as she thought, but he doted on her so much that he kept it hidden from others. "That's why my father wanted me to study in the academy. Hope it can improve the spiritual problem?"
"Of course I hope that Senior Feilin can help you, but on the other hand, I also hope that before you have enough strength, you can stay away from the troubles and dangers of the family. The most obvious one is the hateful Zhou family. Back then, the Zhou family was in public The family has risen rapidly and its power has gradually expanded. The old head of the Zhou family also has a life-long relationship with his father, so the reason why your father made the engagement for you is that you will have enough support and power in the future. But I didn’t expect that once the old family leader died, Zhou Ji of the Zhou family would no longer be able to hide his wild ambitions.”
It was only at this moment that Long Yuyun understood that for her useless self in the past, perhaps her father's indifference and her brother's indifference were the greatest protection for her. After knowing the truth, Long Yuyun became even more determined in his heart. He couldn't just sit back and watch what happened to his father, "Brother, I understand everything you said. Now that I have successfully become a spirit master, I will never be indifferent to my father's current situation. Please tell me, father. Is there really nothing we can do about Wang’s current situation?”
Long Zhiyuan sighed: "Originally, we still have the power of the dragon talisman. At least we can buy time for us to find a solution. But last night, the dragon talisman was stolen. My father's situation is already unstable. Plus, you guys are acting like this tonight." Noisy, alas..."
At this time, Long Yuyun and the others felt even more guilty for their mistakes. Several elders on the side were also extremely angry, "Damn it, those two damn young people last night, if they hadn't stolen the dragon talisman, His Majesty the Dragon King would have The situation will not get worse. By the way, Third Highness, Fifth Young Lady, there is something I don’t know. The iron ropes and formations that sealed His Majesty were laid by a few of us, and the iron ropes cannot be cut without the strength of the Yuling General. , how did you break through the layers of seals?!"
Qi Linfeng shook his head and said: "Actually, it was not broken by the three of us, but by a powerful woman in black, and that woman was one of the two who stole the dragon talisman last night. As for the other, I heard a little bit last night, maybe it was someone from the Zhou family."
"The Zhou family! It's the Zhou family again. There are very few in the Zhou family who can bypass our defense and perception."
"Great Elder, please go check it out. We must find out the whereabouts of the dragon talisman." Long Zhiyuan turned to ask, "Speaking of which, Qi Linfeng, I remember that you told me clearly last night that you didn't know I couldn’t hear their conversation, so why can I hear it now?”
"Well...this...misunderstanding is purely a misunderstanding..."
"You just said that the man in black helped you break the seal last night, but why did you help you? Even if the outside world knew that my father's situation was not good, most of them would think that it was me who did it, just like you. No. As for the evil spirit, why would the woman in black help you break the seal?"
Long Yuyun and Long Yi only reacted at this time, "Yes, you rascal, what did the woman ask you to give her before? What did you get that made her agree to help you?"
Qi Linfeng's face was extremely ugly at this moment, but Long Zhiyuan seemed to have guessed something, and then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It seems that the Soul Protection Dragon Talisman was in your hands last night, but you just thought that I might harm my father. , so I chose to conceal it, and then used the dragon talisman as a condition to let the man in black break the seal, right?"
Qi Linfeng was suddenly shocked. This Long Zhiyuan was indeed well-deserved, thoughtful and shrewd. He was able to restore the general process of last night just by relying on some clues. What else could Qi Linfeng do at this moment? He could only smile bitterly. , "Hi, His Highness is really powerful..."
Long Yuyun on the side yelled quickly, "You bastard, how could you take the dragon talisman as a condition and return it to that guy of unknown origin, you!" Seeing Long Yuyun raising his hand to fight, Qi Linfeng only Neng chose to hide behind Long Yi and hurriedly explained: "I didn't do this on purpose. It's not like all the previous signs made me feel like you that your eldest brother might harm your father, so I was just cautious. Who could I know that the dragon talisman is so important, and this is indeed an oversight on my part. I actually ignored the role of the dragon talisman. It is because I am in the wrong profession..."
"you!"
"Okay, you three are all equally wrong!" Faced with Long Zhiyuan's rebuke, the three of them accepted it. After all, it was indeed their mistake first.
Qi Linfeng asked again: "Actually, Your Highness, the thunder power on me and the eldest lady just now seems to have suppressed the evil spirit on the Dragon King. Can the thunder power help the Dragon King's current situation?"
Long Zhiyuan nodded, making Long Yuyun and Long Yi seem to see hope, but Long Zhiyuan immediately shook his head again, and Long Yi couldn't help but be irritated, "Brother, what do you mean by this? Is it okay or not? You are like this He was nodding and shaking his head, which is very heartbreaking."
"Okay, but it's not possible. Indeed, the input of thunder can indeed help my father suppress the evil spirit."
Long Yi hurriedly clapped his hands and applauded, "That's enough, isn't it just thunder power? Although mine is fire-attributed spiritual power, if you want to find a treasure that contains a lot of thunder power, it's not like our Dragon Emperor family doesn't have it. What are you waiting for?"
"Listen to me first. My father's original spiritual power is indeed of thunder attribute. So if the thunder power is enough, it can indeed help the current situation. However, not to mention the large amount required, at least it needs The level of thunder power at the level of the Yuling General, and the most important point is..."
Long Yuyun asked, "What is it? Brother, please tell me quickly, what is it?"
The elder on the side immediately said: "The most important point is that the original thunder power of His Majesty the Dragon King is Yang Gang Thunder. This kind of thunder power is unique even when the Dragon King family generally cultivates thunder. exist."
For a moment, both Long Yi and Long Yuyun had dark faces, and Qi Linfeng also used the knowledge of the ancient building to understand the way, "So that's it. In addition to attributes, spiritual power also has characteristics that everyone doesn't use. This It leads to the difference and exclusivity of spiritual power, which is actually a bit similar to the difference in blood type, and I just said that there is no one Yang Gang Thunder, which seems to be really troublesome."
Long Zhiyuan continued: "Originally, among the five of us brothers and sisters, your second brother inherited the characteristics of my father's Yang Gang Thunder, so the second brother was recognized as the number one genius in Longdu back then, but unfortunately... .." Long Zhiyuan sighed, "It's a pity that my thunder power is the power of ghost thunder. It is more than strange and powerful, but lacks the characteristics of uprightness and yangming. It cannot be of any help to my father's situation, otherwise I would not have to seal it. Father’s spiritual power.”
Qi Linfeng then thought about it, "Wait a minute, if it is similar to the principle of blood types, then maybe some of the characteristics of blood types also have this thunder power." Then he boldly asked, "Your Highness, I dare to ask, Is there no possibility of inclusiveness in the thunder power between different qualities? Just like the thunder power between me and the eldest lady just now, I may not know what the characteristics of Yang Gang Thunder are, but since the eldest lady and I The thunder power can suppress the evil spirit of the Dragon King, which means we still have a way."
Long Yuyun's eyes immediately lit up, "That's right! Wasn't it because my father absorbed the thunder power just now that the evil spirit was stabilized? Brother, in this case, maybe I can..."
Before Long Yuyun could finish speaking, Long Zhiyuan and Long Yi both rejected outright, "No! You absolutely can't do it, little sister!"
"Why?" Long Yuyun didn't understand why he refused to help his father, even Long Yi was doing the same at this moment.
Long Zhiyuan turned his back and said: "Yes, little sister, your thunder power is the same as that of your father and your second brother. It is the thunder of Yang Gang and the purest spiritual power of thunder. But you must not give your thunder power to your father." king!"
"Why?!"
Long Yi also said from the side: "Sister, obedient, your thunder power is indeed the same as my father's, but don't you understand that my father's current situation requires not just a tiny bit of thunder power, but an absolutely large amount. What happened just now happened suddenly, and my elder brother didn't have time to stop you, but once the power of the source is extracted too much, you will die. Have you forgotten how weak you were just now? So, never risk your own life, not just us, Even my father will not allow you to do this!"
Long Yuyun thought about it again and again, but in the end he still said firmly: "I, for the sake of my father, I am willing to give it a try, and at that time, my father, even if it costs me my life, I am willing!"
