Chapter 170: Fleeing Through the Night

In truth, the members of the Long Family were very unsure of themselves.

Ancestor Long Zizai's intention in sending someone to notify Xiao Fan was very simple: if he did not have the ability to resolve the matter in Jingchuan,

then he need not return; he should simply wait for a future day to avenge the Long Family.

Although no one said it aloud, everyone knew in their hearts: what use was notifying Xiao Fan?

Xiao Tian had already reached the Tongtian Realm, while Xiao Fan had only been at the fifth level of the Huaqi Realm when he left. Having been gone for less than two months, how strong could he possibly have become?

Furthermore, behind Xiao Tian stood an expert of the Xuandan Realm…

They had not expected Xiao Fan to accomplish anything significant within the Jixian Sect; after all, the time he had been away was too short.

Their only hope was to see if Xiao Fan could contact Elder Qiao of the Treasure Pavilion; this might be their last glimmer of survival.

Late at night…

Long Miaoyin, Long Caiwei, along with the women of the Long Family and the direct descendants, were all gathered together. Even Long Yi was there.

Everyone had packed their bags, carrying large and small bundles.

Their expressions were grim; everyone was well aware of what had happened to the Long Family during the day.

Long Anhai swept his gaze across the crowd and spoke in a deep voice: "The Xiao Family came to cause trouble, and you all know the process…"

No one spoke, and the silence said everything.

"My Long Family has encountered this great disaster, and I do not know if we can survive it. Therefore, tonight we will send a group of you away first. If the Long Family is safe in the future, we will come to fetch you back. If…"

Long Anhai paused, then continued: "If the Long Family is destroyed, you must remain united, live well, and wait for the future."

The atmosphere at the scene was heavy and oppressive.

Many of the women even began to shed tears…

"Father, I am not leaving. I will stay and accompany you."

Long Caiwei was the first to speak stubbornly. Although her mother's Family was quite powerful, at best, they were about the same as the Long Family, which was not worth mentioning in the face of a Xuandan Realm expert.

"Silly child…" Long Anhai sighed and affectionately patted her head.

This calamity was very dangerous for the Long Family, but it was only targeted at the members of the Long Family within Jingchuan.

Once everyone left Jingchuan, they would be safe.

A Xuandan Realm expert would not have nothing better to do than hunt them down everywhere.

"Father, I am not leaving either…" Long Miaoyin also cried. Her face was still covered by a veil, and her eyes were red as tears rolled down.

All these matters had arisen because of Xiao Fan, and Long Miaoyin felt worse than anyone else.

Xiao Fan was her husband, yet his own younger brother was coming to destroy her Long Family.

Long Anhai's heart was pierced with pain once again…

"Silly…" Long Anhai wanted to comfort Long Miaoyin, but before he could speak,

Long Yi, from within the crowd, roared: "Leave? Why? Why should I have to leave!"

Everyone's eyes turned to him in unison.

Long Yi's words pulled everyone out of their sorrowful mood.

"These things were all caused by Xiao Fan. As long as we hand over Xiao Fan, the Xiao Family surely won't make things difficult for us…"

Long Yi roared, his expression ferocious.

"Shut up!" Long Anhai bellowed.

However, Long Yi didn't listen at all and continued: "Father, do you think I don't know? The Xiao Family only wants us to hand over Xiao Fan. We just need to send someone to the Jixian Sect to call Xiao Fan back, then hand him over to the Xiao Family, and this matter will be over…"

"If you're worried that Xiao Fan is afraid of death and won't come back, then just find an excuse to trick him into returning."

"As for the ten days the Xiao Family mentioned, we can beg them for an extension. If that doesn't work, we can just hand over Long Miaoyin to them first to show our sincerity."

The people around them all looked at Long Yi with shock on their faces…

At this moment, Long Yi made everyone feel very unfamiliar.

"Unfilial son, shut up!" Long Anhai was trembling with anger…

Long Miaoyin took a step back, her face turning pale…

Long Caiwei stepped out and angrily said: "My brother-in-law would not be afraid of death and dare not return."

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became strange… Many of the direct descendants of the Long Family were lost in thought.

That's right.

The Xiao Family wanted Xiao Fan, so why should they be implicated?

Why should they have to flee for their lives?

While he could live peacefully in the Jixian Sect?

"Why? Should my Long Family be destroyed for the sake of a live-in son-in-law?" Long Yi was unwilling to give up and continued to roar.

If the Long Family were destroyed, he would truly have nothing left.

Long Anhai was furious. He took two steps to stand in front of Long Yi and raised his hand to slap him.

The blow sent Long Yi crashing to the ground, spitting out blood.

"Xiao Fan fought to the death for our Long Family to secure the Spirit Stone Mine, and what about you? You just stay home and do nothing every day…"

Long Anhai was incensed, hating that his son could not live up to his expectations. He was extremely angry: "Unfilial son, I will kill you."

"Father…" Long Caiwei hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Long Anhai.

Long Yi did not dare to continue speaking.

Long Anhai calmed down for a moment, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "I know you may think that what I am doing is wrong, however…"

"He, Xiao Fan, is a member of my Long Family."

"Alright, let's take advantage of the darkness and leave now."

Although the many women and direct descendants of the Long Family each had their own thoughts, with Long Yi's example as a warning, no one dared to speak further.

During the day, the Long Family had instructed the women and direct descendants in the Long Mansion to pack their things and had arranged for their escape at night.

They were to be escorted away late at night by two clan elders.

However, just as the group cautiously arrived at the city gate of Jingchuan,

an icy voice rang out.

"Where are you going?"
