Martial God Asura Chapter 5714: Long Lin’s Story

Chapter 5714: Long Lins Story

You mentioned earlier that youll have to take the life of Taishi Xingzhongs son to save your friend, but Taishi Xingzhong is my subordinate. I can protect you if I reveal myselfhe wont dare to defy my willbut if I do that, Ill be obliged to protect his son too, no? Long Lin said.

His words made sense, but Chu Feng felt like there was more to it. It was just that he wasnt in a position to probe too much, so he replied, Youre right, elder. I didnt think things through.

He glanced at the Totem Dragon Clansmen incarcerated in the mini realm and asked, Elder, how do you intend to deal with them?

Rest assured, young friend Chu Feng. Ill free them once I do what I wish to do. Ill even return everything to them, Long Lin said.

Youll return everything to them? Chu Feng was stunned.

Why would Long Lin return everything after all he had done to take over as the Totem Dragon Clans Clan Chief?

Is it hard to believe? Truth be told, I dont have any ambitions of ruling the Totem Dragon Clan. Its just that theres something I wish to do, and I can only achieve it in my capacity as the Totem Dragon Clans Clan Chief, Long Lin said.

What are you thinking of doing? Chu Feng asked.

Instead of answering the question, Long Lin asked, Young friend Chu Feng, are you here to save a friend?

Yes, Chu Feng replied with a nod.

I presume youd do the same if its not a friend but someone you love?

Naturally.

I knew it. You were willing to sacrifice yourself for Yaoer back then. Thats what Im doing too. I wish to save the person I love.

Save the person you love? Chu Feng hadnt expected such an answer.

Are you willing to listen to my story? Long Lin asked with a smile.

At this moment, he didnt feel like a galaxy overlord. His eyes were filled with kindness, reminiscent of an old friend.

Please speak, elder. Ill listen, Chu Feng replied.

All right.

Long Lin began sharing his story.

He was from the same generation as the incumbent Totem Dragon Clans Clan Chief, but the two of them led wildly different lives. Long Lin was a Totem Dragon Clansman, but his talents and background were far beneath that of the Totem Dragon Clans Clan Chief.

While the Totem Dragon Clans Clan Chief had a shining halo on him from a young age, Long Lin was a little-known small fry.

There was a woman who shone alongside the Totem Dragon Clans Clan Chief in the same era, and her name was Long Xue. She was beautiful and had a powerful background, which drew in many pursuers from the Totem Dragon Clan.

Long Xue and Long Lin met by a stroke of coincidence, and they fell in love with each other. However, there was such a huge disparity in their standings that Long Xues family was bound to object to their relationship if they found out about it.

In view that Long Lin might face danger, and Long Xue didnt want to fall out with her family, the two of them concealed their relationship.

However, Long Xue later caught an untreatable illness. Her cultivation stagnated, and she became incomparably ugly. Over time, her pursuers withdrew their courtships, and even her family members started to despise her.

The only one who didnt despise her was Long Lin.

She had chosen the inconspicuous Long Lin when she was shining the brightest, so Long Lin didnt abandon her when she fell from grace and was no longer cherished. Her disregard from her family meant that she could have her freedom back, so Long Lin took her out of the Totem Dragon Clan to explore the world in search of a cure.

Those were their most blissful days.

I eventually found a way to cure her, so I headed to the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm and found an item from the legends. However, I underestimated the items prowess and ended up getting trapped in it. You were the one who freed me. Would you have helped me back then if you knew this would happen? Long Lin asked with a smile.

I cant turn a blind eye to Yaoers plight, Chu Feng said.

Long Lin chuckled. He was satisfied with Chu Fengs answer.

Did you stage a revolt to take over the position of the Totem Dragon Clans Clan Chief to save that elder? Chu Feng asked.

Thats right. While this land might appear unassuming, it contains an important treasure of the Totem Dragon Clanthe remains of an ancestral dragon.

The remains of an ancestral dragon? Chu Feng was stunned.

Yes, its the remains of a real dragon. It might be dead, but its carcass is invaluable. Our first generation clan chief came to prominence through the remains of this ancestral dragon. Only the upper echelons of our Totem Dragon Clan know about it. Our clan isnt fully in control of this Upper Realm, and we dont want to cause any unnecessary complications either, which is why we have kept this matter confidential, Long Lin said.

In other words, the Totem Dragon Clan had intentionally lowered the security on this Upper Realm so as to not draw any attention here.

Can the remains of the ancestral dragon save that elder? Chu Feng asked.

Its dragon essence can save Xueer, but the remains of the ancestral dragon are an important symbol to the Totem Dragon Clan. The first Totem Dragon Clans Clan Chief has strictly ordered that no one is allowed to touch it, so the only way I can access it is to become the most powerful person in the Totem Dragon Clan, Long Lin said.

Will you restore the Totem Dragon Clan to its previous state if you save that elder? Chu Feng asked.

Long Lin smiled enigmatically instead of answering the question, as he asked, How do you think someone of average talent like me reached my current level of cultivation?

You must have had a fortuitous encounter, and the fact that you are able to reach your current cultivation level shows that you arent untalented, Chu Feng said.

Youre right. While I knew you wouldnt be limited to the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm when we first met, I never thought youd grow so much. Even if not for your talents, just your sharp discernment would have justified your current position. Chu Feng, youre worthy of being Jie Ranqings son.

Still, I have to ask... your father isnt an ordinary person either, right? The heavenly lightning phenomenon you induced that day is astonishing too. May I know who your father is? Long Lin asked.

Elder, why are we suddenly talking about me? Chu Feng chuckled.

Haha! Yes, youre right. Were straying from the main topic at hand, Long Lin said with a smile. Youre right, I had a fortuitous encounter, and my talent is decent too. Even so, I had to pay a price to reach my current cultivation level... My days are numbered.

Elder, you mean... Chu Feng was startled.

Yes, but I am a Totem Dragon Clansman. The last thing I hope is for the Totem Dragon Clan to fall into shambles or decline after Im gone. Its my plan from the very start to restore everything back to how it is once Im done, Long Lin replied.
