Chương 50: The Song clan

Long feng was stopped short by the sight of the Long clan from a distance. The whole clan was in total shambles. Many buildings had been destroyed completely. Many corpses of the clan members were strewn around. The sight was scary. All the corpses had been murdered brutally. The whole clan was deserted. This could be called total annihilation of a clan! Long feng was too stunned to even blink. He was completely subdued. He couldn't speak, only stare.

"What happened here? This seems to have been some sort of clan. They have been dead for a while…." Yan Jian's voice slowly faded as he noticed Long Feng's slightly shivering body.

"W-what's wrong with you brother Long Feng?" He inquired worriedly.

"Are you a fool? That's his clan!" Li Yue'er glanced at Yan jian and spat coldly, leaving him stunned. Understanding slowly washed over him and he fell silent.

"Long feng..." A while later, he tried to speak again softly. They could understand what had happened. Someone had annihilated Long feng's clan in his absence. Long feng guessed who that someone was. Or should he say, group. And if something happened to his father, then… Long feng wouldn't spare a single person among them. He would kill every single person at any cost.

"Do you an any inkling to who could've done this?" Yan jian asked. Long Feng's shivering body stopped and he clenched his fists, raising his head to reveal his red eyes.

"Four Clan's Alliance!" He spat, speaking each word heavily with clenched teeth. The four clans! They had the best reason to annihilate the Long clan. The combined prowess of the four clans was almost four times stronger than the Long clan, so they could almost easily destroy the Long clan in their search of Long feng. Before he left, their single fear of the old clan chief as a rank six yin level master was destroyed when the Gong Clan revealed a rank six Yin level cultivator of their own.

Long feng suddenly rushed into the destroyed clan and began to search through all the buildings, destroyed or now, and through all the corpses. If Long yuan was dead, then Long feng would definitely avenge him. He would kill every person with the blood of the four clans flowing through their veins!. He could have searched through the corpses by merely spreading his soul power, but he didn't do that. He didn't even think about that.

He preferred to search with his own hands, to dig through everything and feel the destruction even more. Yan Jian and Li Yue'er waited silently for him, sensing his silent rage from steps away. After a three hours search, Long feng was slightly relieved. Long Yuan's corpse wasn't here. He also noticed that all the important members of the clan's corpses were not there. All the corpses present were those of the ordinary elders and weak members of the Long clan. The true clan members were all missing.

Long feng was more relieved by this discovery. He sighed and turned around then headed back to Yan Jian and Li yu'er. He turned to looked at them.

"You don't need to follow me. What I am about to do is quite dangerous. I don't want to endanger your lives." He said.

"Nonsense! I told you how I grew up alone, as a traveller. I had to kill on a daily basis in order to survive. A little Yin level enemy wouldn't scare me. Count me in!" Yan Jian shouted excitedly. If only he wouldn't be the first to run and cheer by the side when faced with a powerful foe… Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings. Long feng smiled at him gratefully.

"I'm in" Li Yue'er said slowly. Her short words didn't sound as amazing or encouraging as that of Yan jian, but they showed her support and care. Long feng's smile widened. Even amidst his rage, he was truly glad right now.

"I'm almost definitely sure that the four clans are behind all this." Long Feng went on to explain how the four clans tried to, and were probably still trying to kill him.

"I want to pay them a visit. My first destination is the Song clan" he said. Yan Jian laughed.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" He said. It didn't take long for the trio to arrive at the Song clan. The Song clan was a little bit smaller than the Long clan in overall size. The whole clan was in a perfect state which was in direct contrast to the deserted Long clan. Long feng also noticed that all the powerful members of the clan were absent. He couldn't sense any aura above the rank two Yin level. His guess was that they had gathered in the Gong clan.

Unfazed, Long feng walked up to the gates of the Song clan, where he was stopped by a dozen of peak connate level cultivators.

"Stop right there! This is a restricted area from outsiders!" One of the guards shouted. None of them seemed to recognize Long feng.

"Hey! Are you deaf? Don't come any closer!" The guards noticed that Long feng's group was headed straight towards the Song clan gates without paying heed to the warnings.

"You are seeking death!" A rank nine connate cultivator shot towards Long feng. A cold glint of sword light appeared and disappeared suddenly. The peak connate cultivator instantly fell, dead, his head detached from his body. This wasn't Long Feng's first kill, so he was able to stare at the corpse calmly. And in his current rage, he wouldn't have minded even if it was his first anyway. The other guards were frightened out of their senses by how easily their fellow clansman was killed.

"W... who are you?" One of them asked. Long feng merely smiled. Sword light appeared and disappeared again, and all the guards fell dead! Today, he didn't come to discuss. He came to vent his anger! There was no need for words at all. Within the Song clan, Long feng, Yan Jian and Li yu'er were simply unstoppable. They would slaughter through the clan easily.

In a wide space within the Gong clan, many individuals stood. They were from the four clans, and Gong shi stood in their midst. Gong Yun stood beside him.

"It has been two months now. He still hasn't returned. I'm having a bad feeling." the Song clan Chief spoke. Gong Shu frowned.

"Be patient. Unless if he wants his father to remain in our grasp, he would definitely return. If not, I will personally torture Long Yuan to death" he returned.

"Wherever he is, we can't afford to let him live, and we also can't afford to give him more time to improve. By now, he should have reached rank eight connate level." the Xuan clan Chief said.

"He still has a long way to go if he wants to be strong enough to defeat the four clans alliance." The Li clan Chief smirked. The others nodded.

"What really bothers me is the chance that he might gain the support of his sect. If they send out an elder to come with him, we won't be able to resist."

"Hmph. Gain the support of his sect? You think it's easy to earn the full support of a strong sect? If it's that easy, then it has to be a weak sect. We can handle weak sects." As they spoke, a bloodied figure ran into the place screaming. If one looked closely, They would notice that the figure was donned in the now bloodied outfit of the Song clan.

"What is going on?" Gong Shi asked coldly, glaring at the guards for being unable to handle a slight nuisance. Upon seeing how badly injured the figure was, he shook his head slightly. He had little chance of survival. Gong Shi frowned.

"What happened? Who did this?" He asked. The figure, who seemed to be in great pain, knelt before the Song clan Chief!

"Father!" He shouted. The figure was actually the Song clan Chief's son!

"S... song Yun!" The Song clan Chief was stunned. This bloodied, half dead figure was his second son, the most talented junior within the Song clan! The Song clan Chief was instantly seized with unbelievable pain and rage!

"Who did this to you? Tell me. I will butcher the person's whole clan!" He raged. Song Yun didn't seem to care about what his father was saying. There seemed to be only a single scene in his mind, and his eyes were blank.

"It's gone. Everything is gone. I saw them.... they were all killed. Everyone, not even the animals were spared" he muttered. Everyone fell silent.

"W.. what do you mean?" The Song clan Chief asked.

"They killed everyone! Elder brother, second sister, everyone was killed. They left me, to come and tell you. T... they crippled my cultivation! Three of them!" Song Yun shivered in fright. The Song clan Chief instantly looked devastated. Song Yun's dantian had been pierced, crippling his cultivation for life!

"Who? Who did it?" Gong wuque asked.

"Three of them. They were three young people, two men and a lady. They killed everyone, we were powerless to defend ourselves against them. They said they are coming here soon. You should all run away! Yes! Run as far as you can" Song Yun seemed to have been badly terrified and he was now acting weirdly.

"Three young people" Gong Shi muttered. His first thought was Long feng, but he didn't think Long feng was strong enough to do that. It had to be someone else. Who knows, maybe, the Song clan had mistakenly offended the disciples of a Yang level power, and the three young people annihilated the clan for revenge.

"Have your song clan offended anyone lately?" Gong shi asked, referring to the Song Clan Chief. The latter ignored him and caressed his son's face.

"Yue'er, rest assured. I will rip whoever did this to you into ten pieces no matter who it is." Song Yun's ranting slowly stopped and he fell aside, dead. The song clan chief sighed deeply and stood up. The others could all feel his rage bubbling under his skin.

"I must get going. Whoever it is, I will flay them and peel their skins off their bodies." The Song clan Chief charged out of the Gong clan without further waste of time and rushed towards his clan. All the Song clan elders rushed out behind him.

Three figures left the vicinity of the Song clan and headed in a random direction. These figures were Long feng, Yan Jian and Li yu'er. Their clothes had small blood stains on them. They had killed quite a lot of the song clan members, but they left many alive. At the end, Long Feng wasn't a killer. He couldn't close his eyes and kill an entire clan, not even half of them. Shockingly, he barely killed a dozen people. The rest were all killed by Yan jian and Li Yue'er.

They killed so unfeelingly that Long Feng ended up dragging them away, otherwise the whole clan would be doomed. They spared the Clan Chief's son to go and inform his father.

"Brother feng, that was fun. Where next?" Yan Jian asked, looking truly excited. Long feng couldn't help but feel shocked again as he thought for a while.

"Let's visit the Xuan clan next."
