Chapter 24: Decisive
"How can it be? The head of the main family is coming here personally?!"
"I heard that the patriarch had been in seclusion for many years, and many suspected something might have happened to him... But he suddenly reappeared!"
"Before entering seclusion, he was already a peak expert of the Body Formation Realm. Now that he's back—did he break through to the Spirit Cleansing Realm?"
Every disciple of the Long family widened their eyes in awe, staring at Long Chen with deep admiration. Their excitement was so intense that their bodies trembled involuntarily.
As members of a branch family who always longed to return to the main lineage, they were naturally familiar with the name of each family head. The moment Long Chen revealed his identity, they immediately recognized him.
When the crowd's whispers reached Kai Kun's ears, a strange expression crossed his face, and he let out a quiet sigh of relief. For all the anticipation, he thought the visitor would be someone truly fearsome—but it turned out to be merely the head of the Long family.
Though he heard the man had been in seclusion for years and had likely advanced to the Innate Realm, it was just the first level of it. In Kai Kun's eyes, someone at that stage wasn't even worthy of being considered his opponent.
After exchanging a glance with his young master, No Qing, the latter felt reassured. Since Uncle Kun was confident, there was no longer any need for concern. With an arrogant smirk, No Qing turned toward Long Nian and sneered, "You're the one making all the noise? Long Nian, I barely even remember you, you piece of trash."
Facing No Qing's taunts, Long Nian didn't respond immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the patriarch behind him. Once he received a nod of approval, he stepped forward and replied coldly, "If I'm trash... then what does that make you?"
