Chapter 6056: The Army Sets Off

“Young friend Chu Feng, I’ll capture Jia Lingyi alive as long as she’s with Long Lin, so there’s no need for you to...” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief tried to dissuade Chu Feng.

However, Chu Feng smiled. “Elder, I’ll go by myself if you don’t bring me along. It’s not just because of Jia Lingyi; I’m friends with your son and daughter too. Their affair is my affair too. It’s one thing if I’m unaware, but I’m here right now. I won’t be able to live with myself if I turn a blind eye here.”

“This...”

The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief looked troubled.

Long Chengyu and Long Muxi exchanged conflicted looks. They wanted to brave danger with their father since they were from the same family, but it was a different matter if Chu Feng was getting involved too. Neither of them wanted to implicate Chu Feng in this.

Long Chengyu hesitated briefly before saying, “Father, I think I won’t go after all.”

Long Muxi quickly added, “I’ll stay put too.”

“Ah...” The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He didn’t want his children to go because he knew it would be dangerous, but he was moved by his children’s sentiments nevertheless. Yet, it somehow looked like they valued Chu Feng more as a friend than him as a father.

Chu Feng chuckled as well. He could see through Long Chengyu and Long Muxi’s thoughts, so he asked, “Are the two of you not going?”

“That’s right,” the two siblings replied in unison.

“I’ll be going even if the two of you don’t go,” Chu Feng replied.

“Ah?” Long Chengyu and Long Muxi were taken aback.

“I said that it’s not just because of Jia Lingyi, but she plays a role in my decision too. That’s why I have to go no matter what,” Chu Feng replied.

“You...” Long Chengyu and Long Muxi were rendered speechless.

“E-e-enough! What’s with this f-f-farce! No one can change my b-b-brother’s mind! We’ll go by ourselves even if y-y-you don’t bring us along!” Wang Qiang said, implying that he was going as well.

“I’m going too,” Bai Yunqing expressed.

“Then I’ll be going as well,” Long Chengyu and Long Muxi said in unison.

“You juniors are a headache to deal with.” The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief sighed in resignation. “Fine, we’ll go together.”

He compromised, though he didn’t think it was a bad thing. On the contrary, it was reassuring to have Chu Feng with them, especially since he was the one who saved them back then.

On the surface, Chu Feng’s cultivation was too low to make a decisive difference in this battle, but the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief still vividly remembered Chu Feng’s means. The power the latter wielded was unfathomable.

If Chu Feng still had that power, it would be difficult for them to lose this battle even if they wanted to.

The Totem Dragon Clansmen had been waiting for this day. It didn’t take long for their army to be gathered in a neat formation in the sky, and their sheer number covered the sky.

Chu Feng hadn’t saved so many people from Long Lin that day. The Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief must have gathered all the trustworthy clansmen here while he was away in preparation to reclaim the Totem Dragon Clan.

“Gather!”

The huge army in the sky moved all at once, but they didn’t head for the sacred land’s exit. Instead, they headed to two spirit formation gates in the sky that led to two formation realms.

They were planning for a surprise assault, so it would be counterproductive to travel openly.

Thus, the bulk of the clansmen would be stationed inside the two formation realms. These formation realms would be carried by their clan experts, and the clansmen would be released at an appropriate time to attack the enemy.

It was safer this way.

A person stood beside each of the two formation realms.

One was the chief of the Nine Flags Dragon Warriors, Lord Long Xu.

The other was a brawny, white-haired old man. He was Long Shengjun, the Totem Dragon Clan’s only grand elder. Rumor had it that he was no weaker than the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief.

He was out the day Long Lin staged the rebellion, or else things might have played out differently. It was a terrible coincidence, but the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief strongly believed that he was a trustworthy individual.

Long Xu and Long Shengjun were the ones responsible for carrying the two formation realms.

On the other hand, the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief was accompanied by less than a hundred clansmen, but they were the true elites of the clan. Among them were the Nine Flags Dragon Warriors’ Long Junlin, Long Kuitian, Long Suqing, and many others.

Of these three groups, the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief’s group was the smallest, but their fighting prowess was the strongest.

They planned to have Long Xu’s group attack one of the bases that was critical to the Totem Dragon Clan, while Long Shengjun’s group attacked the Totem Dragon Clan’s headquarters. Both of them had the important mission of determining whether those who had reached out to them to switch allegiance over to their side were truly remorseful, or that it was a trap.

Meanwhile, the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief planned to lead his elites to the ancestral dragon’s forbidden land. Reclaiming the Totem Dragon Clan was only the secondary aim here; their primary goal was to ensure that the ancestral dragon’s remains were intact.

It didn’t take long for the huge army in the sky to be squeezed into two formation realms.

Long Xu and Long Shengjun stowed away the formation realms before heading over to the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief.

“Clan Chief, may I kill those traitors if they aren’t truly remorseful?” Long Shengjun asked.

“Grand elder, I’ll leave the decision in your hands,” the Totem Dragon Clan’s Clan Chief replied.

“Those traitors deserve to die in the first place. I’ll massacre them if they dare to play tricks!” Long Shengjun sneered. He turned to Chu Feng and smiled. “Young friend Chu Feng, I heard you were the one who saved our clan chief. I’m glad to have you with us. We’re in a rush to deal with those traitors right now, but let’s have a drink together once we return.”

“Definitely.” Chu Feng accepted the offer.

He remembered how this old man had a gripe with him over an incident regarding their God Armaments when he first entered the Totem Dragon Clan, but he wasn’t one to hold a grudge. He knew that the other party was just prioritizing their clan’s interests.

The three teams left the sacred land together.

Not all the Totem Dragon Clansmen left with them. Except for Long Chengyu and Long Muxi, all the Totem Dragon Clan’s juniors stayed behind in this sacred land since they wouldn’t be of any help on the battlefield.

If they stayed behind, they were at least seeds of hope for the Totem Dragon Clan if something happened on the frontlines.
