Super War God in the City-Chapter 481 - Oh My Ancestors!
Ye Long sighed inwardly upon seeing the situation, realizing he was no longer in charge of this matter!
Ling Fan's quest for revenge for the murder of his father and the killing of his mother was just and proper. However, the Long family was an opponent too mighty, suitable only for someone of Ling Beiming's caliber. For anyone else, not to mention seeking vengeance, even surviving in this world would be uncertain!
But now that the Long family had collided with Ling Fan, they shouldn't expect to escape by luck.
"You kneeling before me is futile, Long Xian," Ye Long said indifferently. "You'd better seek his forgiveness."
Long Xian's heart trembled. He had lived a life of warfare and glory, but today's kneel was the end of his dignity and pride!
"Young Master Ling, I was blind to the true character and failed to recognize a great person. As for the old grudge, Long Zhengye's death has already been accounted for, which is of no concern to others. I'm responsible for the past events!
You are clear about debts of gratitude and grievances. I am willing to offer my life to you and hope you will not implicate the other members of my Long family. Please spare my grandson Tianjun's life!" Long Xian pleaded tremulously.
Ling Fan approached Long Tianjun and looked down at Young Master Long, who was filled with fright.
"I am clear about debts of gratitude and grievances, and I might spare the innocent. However, I must guard against the possibility that one day your Long family members will seek revenge against my loved ones. Don't you agree?" Ling Fan said indifferently, looking at Long Tianjun—his words addressing both the young master and Long Xian.
"No, no, no... I, Long Tianjun, swear that I will never trouble Young Master Ling in the slightest again, including those close to you. Should I harbor any malicious intent, may the Five Thunders strike me down!" Seeing a glimmer of hope, Long Tianjun hurriedly swore.
Long Xian also made a solemn oath to the heavens, "Young Master Ling, I swear on my family's fortune that such a thing will never happen!"
"Ha ha ha, taking an oath? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Ling Fan snorted coldly.
He instantly unleashed a kick, transforming into two shadows. The first struck Long Tianjun right in his vital parts, while the second directly kicked his dantian, destroying his Qi Sea and cultivation!
"But I've never taken your Long family's revenge to heart. In consideration of your grandfather kneeling and pleading, today I will only cripple your cultivation and sever your vitality, a minor punishment, sparing your dog's life!" Ling Fan declared coldly with an air of magnanimity.
Long Tianjun's body was flung away, Ling Fan's indifferent voice echoing in his ears. His heart could no longer bear the blow, his mind roared, and he fainted on the spot!
Long Xian's elderly body shook violently, and he felt incredibly stifled inside.
He had swallowed his pride and knelt to beg for mercy solely to save Long Tianjun.
As the most outstanding descendant of three generations of the Long family, Long Tianjun's Divine Sense was highly valued and adored by Long Xian. In the end, his life was spared.
But Ling Fan had been excessively ruthless, not only crippling his cultivation but also crippling his virility. Though alive, he might as well be dead!
Long Xian's heart squeezed painfully, yet he had no choice but to bow his head and thank him, "Thank you, Young Master Ling, for sparing his life!"
Turning away, Ling Fan no longer concerned himself with the cripple Long Tianjun but instead looked indifferently at Long Xian.
"Your Long family now has two paths to choose from. The first is that the Long family will cease to exist in the Imperial Capital from this day forth," Ling Fan said calmly.
Long Xian shook uncontrollably and stammered, "I would like to hear the second option."
"The Long family will henceforth be led by Long Tianyu as the head and successor!" Ling Fan spoke again.
At this remark, the watching crowd was dumbstruck, exchanging bewildered looks. "Has the salted fish turned over?" someone exclaimed incredulously.
Everyone knew the status and identity of Long Tianyu in their circles; those in the Crown Prince's Party were all too aware.
Despite bearing the title of the Third Young Master of the Long Family, Long Tianyu actually lived a life less comfortable than a dog's. On more than one occasion, they had witnessed Long Tianjun humiliating him, and it was so unbearable that even they couldn't stand to watch!
Over time, everyone had gradually lowered their opinion of Long Tianyu. Although they wouldn't go as far as Long Tianjun did, to slight and insult him had become a common occurrence!
But who could have imagined that this nobody, ranked lower than even two dogs in the circles, would suddenly leap through the Dragon Gate and become someone akin to the Head of the Long Family?
Long Pengju and his son were dumbfounded. They had secretly delighted in the misfortune of Long Tianjun and his son, thinking that they could profit from the strife, like a fisherman benefits from a fight between the snipe and the clam.
No matter how much they planned, they never expected to be stepped on by the trash Long Tianyu in the end.
Long Tianyu's heart was stirred with excitement. "Damn," Young Master Ling was a man of his word who truly helped him to rise properly.
Although he had long held the promise from Ling Fan, the reality of reaching this moment still felt surreal, and he could hardly believe it!
Long Xian took a deep breath and it took him a long while to regain his composure. His voice rough, he said, "Young Master Ling, could you possibly let Long Xiao inherit the position of Family Head?"
In his view, if the Long Family was handed over to Long Tianyu, it wouldn't be any different from ruining it!
"Heh, I promised to support him rightfully, do you want me to become a man who breaks his word?" Ling Fan said calmly.
Long Xian's heart shuddered, better to resort to a lesser plea than have the Long Family disappear immediately!
"I will follow Young Master Ling's arrangements in all matters!" Long Xian said with a resigned tone and gritted his teeth in response.
"Kid, I've fulfilled the promise I made to you. However, it seems your grandfather does not have much faith in you!" Ling Fan said with a smile, shaking his head slightly.
"Thank you, Young Master Ling, for your support. I, Long Tianyu, swear here that as long as I live, the Long Family will always serve Young Master Ling. Whatever the command, we will face death unflinchingly!" Long Tianyu said with utter conviction, his words resounding firmly.
This guy might seem foolish, but in reality, he had a deep and crafty mind, honed through years of forbearance.
He knew that he had no credibility or foundation within the Long Family, or even within the circles, and even if he took the position of Family Head, he would likely struggle to maintain it!
But as long as he could cling firmly to Ling Fan's coattails, he would be as stable as Mount Tai, and without hesitation, he made this pledge of unabashed loyalty!
After speaking, he immediately turned to Long Xian, his words ringing out powerfully, "Grandfather, over the years, the Long Family has treated me like a dog, but I can assure you, I will definitely make the Long Family better than before!
As for the kind of foolish actions that offend Young Master Ling, like those of my eldest uncle and elder brother, they will absolutely not happen on my watch!"
With that statement, Long Tianyu managed not only to slap the faces of Long Xian and the others but also to flatter Ling Fan. The onlookers were all stunned—was this really the same waste from the Long Family?
In fact, Long Tianyu had another thought he was too embarrassed to express—if it weren't for Young Master Ling's wise and powerful move to take him under his wing in advance, who knew what dire straits the Long Family would be in now!
In any case, from this moment on, Long Tianyu's image in everyone's minds was completely reversed. No longer the useless idiot, but rather a legendary prince who endured the bitterness of hardship and disgrace to ultimately achieve a triumphant reversal and revenge!
Joking aside, could a ruthless man who could plan ahead, make allies with the Long Family's enemies, and turn a terrible hand into a royal flush be anything but simple?

After today, no one would dare underestimate Long Tianyu again!
Ling Fan, standing in the middle of the scene, smiled faintly. The truth was, another reason he supported Long Tianyu's rise was because of Li Huan, who had been a dear friend to his mother Su Wei!
Although it all started because of Li Huan, despite her good intentions, her actions had the opposite effect. But she was still a decent person and had done her best to make amends in secret thereafter; otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up being ousted by the Long Family to this point!
It was hard to judge right from wrong; it could only be said that fate plays with lives!
He sighed inwardly and then turned to look at Leng Zhenyu, who was hiding on the side, content to be invisible.
"My ancestors!" Leng Zhenyu exclaimed, almost jumping up in surprise.
