Chapter 998 Dragon Council (2)
The twelve elders looked at Yun Lintian curiously. With their powerful perception, they could quickly see his extraordinary and exclaim in surprise.
"Three divine beast bloodlines, and all of them are origin blood!" Long Ying's voice trembled.
"His bone age is nineteen. Where did he get all the divine beast bloodlines?" Long Yan uttered in confusion. To his knowledge, except for the Divine Phoenix Palace, the divine beast's legacy had disappeared from this world since ancient times. Where did Yun Lintian come from?
Even Long Hu, who possessed vast knowledge, couldn't come up with a proper explanation. What surprised him the most was the way three bloodlines co-existing peacefully in Yun Lintian's body. He had never heard of or seen such a phenomenon before.
"Junior Yun Lintian from the Misty Cloud Sect greets all seniors." Yun Lintian bowed his head slightly and said.
The twelve elders didn't utter a word as they were still confused about Yun Lintian's extraordinary.
At this moment, a dignified elder, who sat on the first seat below, opened his eyes. His golden pupils shone brightly with splendid golden light as he looked at Yun Lintian.
"Welcome to our Long Clan. My name is Long Shen. Presumably, you have a condition for helping our clan. Please state it." The dignified elder, Long Shen, said calmly. Unlike the other elders, he remained calm and composed after seeing Yun Lintian.
Long Jinwei took the initiative to speak. "He has already told me, Uncle Shen. He wants us to protect his friends and family."
A strange light flashed through Long Shen's eyes as he took a deep look at Yun Lintian. "Do you know how much you have done to us?… Even if you ask all of our treasures, it's not exaggerated at all."
Yun Lintian smiled and said. "Treasures are good, but they are useless to me. On the contrary, no matter how many treasures I have, I cannot protect my people alone… Besides, helping Senior Long is not difficult for me."
As he finished speaking, Yun Lintian waved his hand, and twelve Fruit of Immortality immediately flew toward the twelve elders.
After getting confirmation about the Dragon Curse from Hongyue, he decided to help all of them. Their conditions were similar to Long Jinwei's; they only had one or two years left.
The elders received the fruits and looked at them curiously. They could feel the abundant vitality in them. Just by sniffing them, they could feel their lifespans extending.
"This fruit…" Long Shen's eyes narrowed slightly.
Yun Lintian explained. "It's a fruit from the Tree of Life. It can extend one's lifespan for two hundred years, but it can only be taken once in a lifetime. Moreover, it can regain one's youthful appearance."
Hearing this, Long Ying was the one who stuffed the fruit into her mouth. As a woman at her age, nothing could tempt her besides this.
As soon as she swallowed the fruit, a warm current quickly spread throughout her body, and her appearance began to improve. Her wrinkles gradually disappeared, and her skin became fairer.
The next moment, Long Ying's peerless beauty was presented in front of everyone's eyes.
? "Second Sister, you…." Long Yan was stunned for a moment when he saw her. He swore that she wasn't this beautiful when she was young.
Long Ying took out a mirror and checked her appearance in a good mood. "Haha! This old woman is back! No, I'm not an old woman anymore. This fairy is back! Hahaha!"
Everyone's face twitched upon seeing her crazy appearance. Especially Long Guang and Long Feiyan. They had never met Long Ying before and always thought she would be a serious person. Her current appearance simply broke their impression of her.
Meanwhile, Long Jinwei laughed slightly. He grew up in the care of Long Ying since he was young, and he naturally knew her true nature. Among the twelve elders, she was the wildest one. It was just that her position made her restrain herself.
Long Yan and the other elders didn't hesitate any more and quickly swallowed the fruits in one go.
One after another. The remaining elders had completely regained their youth's appearance. Except for Long Shen, the rest quickly checked their appearance before calming down.
"A grateful word cannot express our gratitude. So, I won't say it." Long Shen said calmly. "I can see your extraordinary talent and believe you will become the strongest person in this world. This time, we have taken advantage of you."
Yun Lintian smiled and said nothing. He understood what Long Shen meant and admired his straightforwardness.
Basically, if Yun Lintian rose to the pinnacle of the world, the Long Clan would gain tremendous benefits. To say they would repay his kindness was actually taking advantage without losing anything.
Yun Lintian didn't care about it, as he indeed needed support from a top faction like the Long Clan. After all, his Misty Cloud Sect was still growing and had yet to reach the time to shine. It was difficult to fight the enemy on the Azure Palace's level alone.
Long Jinwei walked to the top seat and let Yun Lintian and the other two sit on the chairs beside him.
Afterward, his temperament changed as his dignified bearing was displayed fully, entirely contrasting his previously humble appearance.
"Now, our predicament has been solved by Little Friend Yun. I want to use this chance to determine our clan's direction." Long Jinwei said calmly. "But before that, I want to announce one thing."
He swept his gaze over everyone and said. "I decided to let our clan swear loyalty to Little Friend Yun. What do you think?"
Yun Lintian, Long Guang, and Long Feiyan were shocked upon hearing this. They didn't expect Long Jinwei to go to this extent. They quickly looked at the twelve elders and waited for their decision.
Unexpectedly, the twelve elders didn't seem to have any opinion about it. They even started expressing their agreement.
"I agreed. We have indeed known Little Friend Yun for a short time, but I believe he can bring our clan to an unprecedented height." Long Ying was the first to say.
Long Yan habitually stroked his beard, but he forgot that his beard was gone now. He laughed awkwardly and said. "Me too. I agreed with Second Elder."
Soon, everyone turned to look at Long Shen and waited for his opinion.
Under everyone's gaze, Long Shen said calmly. "No doubt about it. This will be the best decision we have made."
