Chapter 4702: 4.0454 Long Qian's Scheme

Duo Qiang awkwardly coughed lightly. "I, I didn't know. Patriarch Long, why don't you tell me directly whether the Thirteen Elders can truly come here. Your secret technique... cough, is it reliable?"

Long Qian gave Duo Qiang a cold glance. She now had reason to doubt whether, with Duo Qiang's intelligence, he could be a qualified partner. He was simply utterly foolish.

"This kind of family secret technique can only be used once within a century. This is a secret of our Forgetfulness River Long clan, so naturally, I cannot tell you the method." In fact, the cost of using this secret technique was also immense.

Firstly, as the patriarch, her body would rapidly decay within a few days, with no possibility of recovery.

Secondly... if the summoning was successful, the Thirteen Elders could only stay on the Three Continents for no more than an hour.

Lastly, if the summoning was unsuccessful... Long Qian, as the summoner, would directly suffer a powerful backlash from the Heavenly Dao, and would be instantly annihilated on the spot.

Long Qian, as the summoner, was well aware that this summoning was successful. The Thirteen Elders would definitely arrive, but for some reason, they hadn't appeared yet.

[I am not doing this for myself.] Long Qian told herself this when summoning the Thirteen Elders. [I am doing this for the future of the entire Forgetfulness River Long clan, to forge a powerful Long clan.]

Although she might not necessarily see the Long clan prosper in the future, a bright future seemed to be right ahead, at her feet. She felt as if she could see them beckoning to her with a single glance.

"Since the Divine Descent Talisman can summon people from the Sacred Domain, our secret technique also does not violate the Heavenly Dao."

Duo Qiang's eyes immediately showed a hint of joy and excitement upon hearing the Long clan patriarch say this. But he was quickly brought down by the current reality.

Overwhelming sand scorpions had already taken care of many of their Duo clan members. Duo Qiang was anxious and urged the Long clan patriarch, "How about you try to hasten it with your secret technique again?"

"I see the enemy's concentrated fire is really strong," Duo Qiang's heart was in turmoil, wanting to know if the Long clan patriarch had any backup plans. "The Thirteen Elders will probably have a tough time dealing with all those Transcendent Divine Realm experts around her."

"Can we really take down that little poker face?"

"Why not?" A strange light appeared in Long Qian's eyes. She seemed to be able to see the future of the little poker face, as well as the future of her own clan. Joyful sparks danced in her eyes, flickering between bright and dim.

She had a foolproof plan. Even if Qiao Mu summoned that Holy Beast Demonic Dragon, she had the power to resist it.

"Everyone, close defense. Form a grand defensive array and charge with me." Long Qian was the first to release a stream of holy power, encircling several clan members around her. The green branch scepter in her hand suddenly emitted a brilliant light. It split the heavens and earth, charging towards the sand scorpion swarm in front.

After a thunderous roar, the sand on the beach rolled, cleaved by a white mark.

Duo Qiang's expression flickered. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the Long clan patriarch.

How could this be?

The Long clan patriarch's cultivation had always been on par with his, both being Profound Venerable Realm cultivators. But now, looking at her, it was as if she had suddenly advanced a major realm, inexplicably stepping into the peak of the Spirit Venerable Realm?

Could advancement be that fast?!

It felt as if the Long clan patriarch had taken some kind of stimulant.
