Chapter 4764: Blasted In
About half an hour earlier, when Madam Long received news that her children had already relocated to the Forgetful River Cold Valley, she nearly collapsed.
"Why go to the Forgetful River Cold Valley?"
"This was an order issued by our ancestor," Long Chuyu's face was also extremely grim.
He had already received news that Long Hui hadn't listened to him and befriended Qiao Qiao. Instead, he had followed his elderly grandmother and committed a series of foolish acts.
"Ancestor Xuanji has been gone for so many years! Why is she still interfering in clan matters?" What Madam Long truly wanted to say was, What right does Ancestor Xuanji have to exile all of us, the Wan Chuan Long family, to the Forgetful River Cold Valley?
"Because it's an order from the ancestor," Long Chuyu coughed heavily, staring sternly at her. "Everyone must accept it."
Madam Long's eyes were red, and her voice was filled with anguish. "Don't you know what kind of place the Forgetful River Cold Valley is? How can people live in such a place? If we move there, how long will we have to stay?"
"A hundred years," Long Chuyu said indifferently.
"What??!" Madam Long's eyes widened in shock. "Why?!"
Before Long Chuyu could get angry, he heard a huge bang. The entire defensive barrier above them seemed to sway slightly from the shock.
Through the transparent barrier, Long Chuyu and Madam Long could see countless panicked small fish frantically swimming away.
Loud booming sounds continuously echoed.
Long Chuyu quickly summoned someone to ask, "What happened?"
"Someone is attacking us! Other families are sending out distress signals."
Long Chuyu's expression grew grave.
"Who is doing this?"
"We don't know yet! We only see countless divine stone cannons bombarding our defensive barrier."
Madam Long shrieked in terror, "What?! How much longer can that defensive barrier hold?!"
This was no laughing matter.
The reason they could live at the bottom of the Forgetful River, isolated, was due to the indispensable role of the defensive barrier.
Once the defensive barrier was breached, the outside seawater would inevitably flood in, collapsing their entire Forgetful River clan territory, and the losses would undoubtedly be severe.
They had just been demoted to the Forgetful River Cold Valley, and now they were being repeatedly bombarded.
If someone claimed there was no conspiracy, Long Chuyu would hardly believe it.
But who could it be, capable of mobilizing so many divine stone cannons on such a grand scale?
Long Chuyu took a deep breath, his steps quick as he walked out. "Let's go, let's see."
"Qiao Mu, it must be Qiao Mu!" Madam Long cried out hatefully. "The old woman just left, and immediately after, she brought people to attack Forgetful River."
"This little girl is truly so ruthless."
"Shut up!" Long Chuyu glared at her in annoyance. "I always thought you were smart, but why are you always so clueless at critical moments?"
"How could it be Qiao Qiao?"
"She already knows that Ancestor Xuanji of the Long clan demoted all of us to the Forgetful River Cold Valley."
"Given her nature, if she disagreed with Ancestor Xuanji's decision at the time, she would have immediately refuted it."
"Since she said nothing, it means she has acquiesced to the ancestor's decision," Long Chuyu said coldly.
"Isn't that perfect then!" Madam Long's face was filled with bitterness. "We all leave, driven to the Forgetful River Cold Valley by her, and then she can usurp our home and become queen!"
"Heh, who's usurping whom?" A chilling voice slowly reached Madam Long's ears.
