Chapter 4704: 4.0456 Success or Failure

Long Qian hastily stepped forward, respectfully addressing the Long clan ancestor, "Elders, please first deal with those people. The rest can be handled by your junior."

With the thirteen Long clan elders, whose cultivation levels were generally above the Immortal Venerable Realm, joining the battle, the entire combat scene naturally underwent a drastic change.

Qiao Mu's eyes were cold as she looked at Long Qian. She suddenly flipped her hand, summoning her Blood-Patterned Demonic Dragon, and instantly leaped onto its back.

She's here!

Long Qian's heart filled with joy, and her eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Qiao Qiao!" Feng Chen, who was currently entangled with an Immortal Venerable Realm elder, hastily looked up at Qiao Mu, calling out repeatedly, "Come back quickly!"

If it weren't for the two Yuewang Holy Beasts and Little White Squirrel holding the line and assisting Feng Chen and the others, they would have already collapsed like a crumbling mountain. Among the thirteen elders summoned from the Sacred Domain, only Feng Chen and Little Tai Sui could truly contend with one of them. The rest of these elders were being besieged by Fairy Peony, Dao Wuji, and others, with two or three against one.

The members of the Heaven Slaying Battle Group were ordered to retreat across the board. In front of these Transcendent Divine Realm elders, their meager Divine Realm cultivators had no power to fight. Needless sacrifice was unacceptable; a swift retreat was the best option for them.

This was not a defeat. It was simply that when the difference in strength was too vast, success or failure was a trivial matter to them. Only preserving their lives with all their might was the ultimate goal.

She's here, she's here. She finally took the bait.

Long Qian's eyes flickered slightly as she watched the little poker face jump onto the black dragon and rapidly move towards her. A hint of triumph was hard to conceal in her heart.

"Long Hui," Long Qian turned to look at her grandson, lowering her voice and saying, "Long Hui, the matters here will now be entirely your responsibility."

Long Hui, however, was inexplicably flustered. He quickly asked, "Grandmother, what are you going to do?"

"You don't need to concern yourself," Long Qian said with a confident expression.

"No, Grandmother!" Long Hui quickly stepped closer, his face anxious and uneasy, staring at Long Qian. "You promised me that you would only force Qiao Mu to lend the Mermaid Pearl. You won't harm her, will you?"

Long Qian looked at her grandson with a complicated expression. "Long Hui, don't be like your father. Womanly compassion will not allow you to grow into an excellent leader."

"No!!" Long Hui immediately panicked, shouting anxiously, "Grandmother, you lied to me?! You promised me, you promised me you wouldn't harm a single hair on her!"

"Grandmother, Grandmother!" Long Xiangyun couldn't help but call out tremblingly, "Please stop, Grandmother, okay? The poker face, she's not as strong as you think. If her heart is hurt by you once or twice, everything will be irreversible."

"Grandmother, actually, the poker face, she..." She's not bad-hearted, just a bit sharp-tongued.

But often, she would put herself in others' shoes and consider their difficulties. Can't we just discuss this with her properly?

Long Qian looked at her grandchildren with a somewhat crazed gaze. "Long Hui, Xiangyun, you two are truly disappointing me too much."

"Long Hui, if you continue to be indecisive and hesitant like your father, you will truly struggle to bear the great responsibility of the Long clan's future."

"Grandmother!!!"
