Chapter 32: THOUGHTS OF REGRETS

After Long Ten returned to the clan, he called forward a meeting of elders. Long Shen, of course, didn’t meet up because of him being in the process of handling his own emotions.

After the clan members were informed of what Long Tao’s reply was, the elders were regretting their actions in the past. It was their own collective decision to give up on Long Tao, and now their karma has come to haunt them back.

The most talented genius of the younger generation in the Jiao country just publicly denounced them and gave up himself from being a clansman.

...............................

“This is too overbearing of Long Tao. How could he do this after all the clan had given him? I know that we have our differences, but he can’t just deny and abandon his origins.” An elder said.

” You should be grateful that you said the words here and not to him; otherwise, your body will be lying in the street, headless.”

It was time Long Ten has ever shown such an aggressive side of him to the clansmen.

.....

” We are the one who betrayed his trust in the first place, and we no longer have any control. From now, no one in this clan is to provoke him actively. As he said from now on, he is no longer a clansman of ours. Is it clear?”

.......................

In a separate room, Long Shen was sitting there with a dazed expression. His son abandoned his own family. He no longer had the guts to face his son.

The clan decided to give up on Long Tao’s matter, and even after being the all-powerful clan lord, he still couldn’t force them to continue on this road. Long Shen himself was the youngest clan lord in history.

In just the age of 35 years, he managed to reach the Qi master realm 6th rank. He always put the clan’s need ahead of everything else. Yet the family couldn’t even support his venture to have revenge for his son.

Maybe Long Tao was telling the truth, he was born into a clan of spineless cowards who see nothing but their profits. But it was already too late. The tone, his son, addressed him with was pretty clear in its implications. Long Tao was formally done with the Long Clan. Just the Long ten stepped into his room and was about to say something when he glanced at him with hostility” silence.”.

.....................

Long Ten stood there saying nothing. For the first time in his life, he could see hatred for himself in his brother’s eyes.

“I denounce my position the clan lord form now on. My family and I will leave the clan. It is up to the new lord of the clan to see to its well being”.

Long Ten was about to refute when ” Don’t speak you vile creature. Do you think I don’t know your schemes? I have already sent my wife out and informed Long Mengchen about the decision.”

“My family no longer has anything to do with your clan. Don’t dare to even think about interfering in my matters from now on.”

Long Ten gulped into a cold breath. The murderous instincts of his brother were now up. The Long Clan has just lost its backbone. Two of its heaven-defying geniuses gone, and so is the former clan leader who was at the 7th stage Qi master realm.

........................

Initially, Long Tao’s mother was extremely happy for the news of her son being alive. But then she heard about Long Tao abandoning his clan and family.

She couldn’t stop crying and lamenting her fate. “Mengchen, promise me you wouldn’t leave me too. Please”.

Tears were flowing down her cheeks, and every drop was like a scar on Long Mengchen’s heart. She still didn’t understand her brother’s attitude towards them. But she also didn’t have the guts to go and face him at the moment.

She knew what her brother had been through. How he was bullied for something he had no control over, and this made him so distant from his own family that he now disgusts their existence.

When she saw Long Tao, alive and kicking back on the stage, it was as if she had got hold of the greatest joy in the world, but when the real situation came into being, she was shocked into disbelief and self-introspection.

“You have betrayed my expectations from someone of your background and talent”.

The words her brother said back then, were still ringing in her ears. She decided to confront long Tao about this. She had to know what her brother meant by those words.

.....................

In the Bai family residence-

There was a clan meeting going on at the moment. Bai Tong (the clan leader) was preceding the meeting, and the topic of discussion was Long Tao.

” What are your thoughts on this matter?”

“Although there is no visible proof in front of their eyes, the Long Clan and Long Tao already know that we are to be held responsible for what happened to him. Hence we need to prepare for war.”

” Long Clan won’t be stupid enough to wage war now, just because Long Tao returned, as he has already publicly denounced them.”

“But clan lord you need to understand the fact that, the Long Clan may decide to have our answer for the incident, just pull back Long Tao into their court”.

............................................

Just then a messenger came in and informed something to Bai Tong. Bai Tong smirked after hearing it and looked towards the clansmen and said:

“Long Ten visited Long Tao’s inn but was threatened not to appear before him again. Also, there seems to be some grievous misunderstanding between Long Shen and Long Ten. Hence now the conjunction that Long clan might attack us is non-existent. The only thing remaining is how should we deal with Long Tao.”.

“Long Tao belongs to the royal faction now. Hence he can’t be touched here. We can only act after he leaves for the North-eastern borders. Send the message to that organization. They have failed to deliver what they requested, and the boy has returned,”. The elder shook his head, and the meeting was declared over.
