The Rise of Dragon Son-in-Law

Li Yuechan and the others, seeing that Long Chen remained silent, all grew anxious.

Everyone except Li Yuechan—Xia Ling, Zhao Churan, Zhuge Xuan, and even little Unrivaled—held feelings for Li Yuechan.

They did not wish for Li Yuechan to actually part ways with Long Chen.

However, they hoped that Li Yuechan could truly realize that the person who treated her the best in this world was definitely Long Chen.

Li Yuechan was very scared, afraid that Long Chen was determined to break up with her this time.

She clung tightly to Long Chen, unwilling to let go at all.

Long Chen sighed and said, "Forget it, I won’t be angry with you. If we switch positions, you are not wrong."

"If someone has no feelings for their own mother, what kind of person would they be?"

"So, I don’t blame you now. I was also wrong. I shouldn’t have made a move against your mom in front of you."

"Then, have you forgiven me?" Li Yuechan stared at Long Chen.

"I’ve forgiven you since I was also at fault."

Long Chen gave a bitter smile.

"You’re not wrong at all, not even slightly. It was me who was too superficial and too emotional. I’m sorry."

Li Yuechan broke into joyful tears.

Seeing Long Chen forgive Li Yuechan, Xia Ling and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let’s not talk about this matter now. You guys just stay at home properly and don’t run around. If there’s any urgent business in the conglomerate, you can handle it. As for the Martial Alliance matters, you can’t help much there. Leave it to me to handle."

Long Chen spoke softly.

"How can you handle the Martial Alliance alone? Long Chen, let us help you. Lately, you have been pushing us hard in our training every day. I feel like we could at least help you a bit."

Xia Ling said gravely.

"Yes, Long Chen, we must help you. We can’t let you face this alone."

Little Unrivaled also spoke urgently.

Long Chen crouched down, looked at little Unrivaled, then asked, "Little girl, are you hurt?"

"It’s just a minor injury, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t hurt at all."

Little Unrivaled said.

"It may not hurt you, but it hurts me."

Long Chen pulled little Unrivaled into his embrace.

Then, he treated little Unrivaled’s wounds.

Little Unrivaled squinted slightly, a smile appearing on her small face. Then suddenly, her lips puckered up and she began to cry.

"What’s wrong? Does it hurt?"

Long Chen asked.

"No." little Unrivaled said, "Long Chen, it’s been a long time since you’ve been this gentle with me, and it just made me want to cry."

"It’s my fault, Long Chen."

Long Chen held little Unrivaled, feeling genuinely heartbroken.

Little Unrivaled was still just a child.

Had she been born in an ordinary family, she would certainly have been treasured and protected.

Yet, little Unrivaled was with him, and he had sent her to protect others which had led to her getting hurt.

Long Chen felt very remorseful about this.

Little Unrivaled’s life shouldn’t be like this.

Even if in the future, she were to face battles and bloodshed alongside him, it shouldn’t be at this age.

At this age, little Unrivaled should be like other children her age, going to school and experiencing the educational life she should be experiencing.

Thinking this, Long Chen had already made a plan.

"Unrivaled, you and your sisters just stay at home well and don’t think about helping me. I have other arrangements.

And you all, don’t act recklessly and disrupt my plans."

Long Chen looked around the room, his expression somewhat stern.

"Then, take care of yourself." Xia Ling bit her red lips.

"Husband, if you need any help, you must tell us. We are not just ornaments; we can help you." Zhao Churan also spoke urgently.

"Alright, then, I’ll go first."

Long Chen waved his hand and turned to leave through the main door.

The threat of the Martial Alliance was a constant danger.

Therefore, Long Chen had to address the threat from the Martial Alliance.

He wasn’t afraid of the Martial Alliance, but he feared that something might happen to Xia Ling and the others.

Long Chen didn’t want to leave any risks unaddressed; he had to eliminate them entirely.

Half an hour later, Long Chen arrived outside the Martial Alliance building.

The defense of the Martial Alliance building was extremely strict, guarded by practitioners of Martial Arts.

Long Chen’s arrival quickly drew heightened attention, and the news spread throughout the entire building immediately.

On the top floor of the building, Hua Qingfeng and Cao Qiu’s expressions underwent subtle changes.

They had not expected Long Chen to dare come alone.

"Alliance Hierarch, what should we do?"

Cao Qiu asked gravely.

"Our injuries have not yet healed, and it’s not suitable to fight to the death with him. Our primary goal is still to find strong and powerful allies. Let’s let him be arrogant for a while and leave immediately from the back door,"

Hua Qingfeng stated seriously.

"What about the others below? Hierarch, we still have over two hundred people inside the Martial Alliance. I think we can try to fight. If we really can’t handle it, we can leave then, but I genuinely think this could be our opportunity since he’s come to us."

Cao Qiu spoke gravely.

"Do you really think we should give it a try?"

Hua Qingfeng frowned, quickly weighing his options.

Cao Qiu nodded, saying, "We can try. Alliance Hierarch, let our men wear him down first. With so many people, we should at least be able to strip off a layer of his skin. By then, with the two of us joining forces, our chances of success aren’t low."

"That makes sense."

Hua Qingfeng immediately picked up the intercom on the table, took a deep breath, and said sternly, "Everyone listen, at all costs, kill Long Chen."

The entire building’s personnel, upon hearing Hua Qingfeng’s command, sprang into action.

Meanwhile, at the entrance, Long Chen had already made his move.

Bang, bang, bang.

Long Chen entered through the main door; the first floor housed over thirty people.

But in Long Chen’s eyes, they were hardly worth noticing.

Quickly, over thirty people were massacred without a single survivor.

Long Chen dusted off his hands and walked towards the second floor.

The number of people on the second floor was ten fewer than on the first, but their combat abilities were much stronger.

Still, in Long Chen’s view, they were far from adequate.

Twenty-some people attacked together, besieging Long Chen, who, fearless among them, moved like a ghost, each punch lethal.

In less than thirty seconds, the people on the second floor were all dealt with.

On the rooftop, Hua Qingfeng and Cao Qiu, watching through the surveillance, gasped in unison.

"This isn’t right," Cao Qiu murmured. "Alliance Hierarch, this young man seems to have recovered to his peak condition. This isn’t good."

"No matter, have them continue to stop him; we’ll evacuate first," Hua Qingfeng ordered sternly.

"Alright."

This time, Cao Qiu agreed decisively.

Meanwhile, Long Chen continued up, level by level, killing anyone who stood in his way.

About ten minutes later, Long Chen arrived at the top floor’s large office.

It was already deserted.

Long Chen walked to the window and looked down just in time to see Cao Qiu and Hua Qingfeng getting into a car and speeding away.

"Think you can escape?"

Long Chen sneered.

Then, Long Chen phoned the City Lord Mansion, asking them to guard all major city gates and prevent Hua Qingfeng and Cao Qiu from leaving. If there were any clues, they were to notify him immediately.

As Long Chen rarely bothered the City Lord Mansion, they immediately agreed to his request and sprang into action.

Long Chen wasn’t idle either; leaving the Martial Alliance headquarters, he began searching for Hua Qingfeng and Cao Qiu, preparing to hunt them down.

With the help of the City Lord Mansion, this large-scale operation shook the entire Qianzhou.

Yet few people knew what had happened, and speculation was rampant.

Only those in the Martial Arts community who hadn’t joined the Martial Alliance knew the truth, such as Yang Su’s family.

For example, the Xuanyuan Family, which had joined the Martial Alliance but never truly shown themselves.

At this moment, the Yang Family, with Yang Su personally leading, joined Long Chen in the search for Hua Qingfeng and Cao Qiu.

Hua Qingfeng and Cao Qiu, however, had already sought refuge in the Xuanyuan Family.

The Xuanyuan Family’s patriarch, Xuanyuan Madman, was a nearly ninety-year-old elder who appeared frail as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

Yet his eyes, unlike those of other elderly, were clear and piercing.

"Bringing trouble to my doorstep by coming here, are you trying to doom the Xuanyuan Family?" he said, stroking his beard sharply.

"Xuanyuan Elder, coming here isn’t about escaping from Long Chen. Instead, we have a bigger plan. We’re feigning weakness deliberately to lower his guard," Hua Qingfeng stated seriously.

But to Xuanyuan Madman, this seemed nothing more than a desperate bluff.

Xuanyuan Madman glanced at Hua Qingfeng and said coolly, "Brother Hua, you too are of advanced years, being nearly seventy and ranked third on the Martial King List. With such fame, why would you resort to feigning weakness if not truly outmatched?"

"Elder, idle talk is pointless. You are a part of the Martial Alliance too. The urgent thing now is for us to unite and deal with Long Chen. As long as Long Chen falls, we’ll have the chance to subdue the Dragon Doctor."

Hua Qingfeng stressed his words.

"It’s your chance, not ours," Xuanyuan Madman responded indifferently. "Brother Hua, my Xuanyuan Family joined the Martial Alliance just for the excitement, never truly intending to devote ourselves unless..."

"Unless what?"

Hua Qingfeng asked eagerly.

"Unless the Alliance Hierarch isn’t you," Xuanyuan Madman slightly squinted his eyes.

Hua Qingfeng and Cao Qiu’s expressions changed slightly, understanding the implication behind Xuanyuan Madman’s words.

Then, somewhat angrily, Cao Qiu said, "Elder, if you wished to be the Alliance Hierarch, you should have participated in the election. Yet you didn’t show up on that day, and now you say you want to be the Hierarch, isn’t that a bit out of order?"

"You talk to me about rules?" Xuanyuan Madman reached out and gently patted Cao Qiu’s shoulder.

The gentle pat felt like a thunderbolt to Cao Qiu, causing his entire blood flow to seem to stop.

Such a terrifying sensation made Cao Qiu afraid to even breathe.

"Now, do you understand what rules are?" Xuanyuan Madman asked coolly.

Cao Qiu hurriedly nodded, whispering, "Elder’s mastery rivals Creation itself, I admire and, if Alliance Hierarch has no objections, then I am willing to support you as the new Alliance Hierarch."

Hua Qingfeng stared incredulously at Cao Qiu.

Cao Qiu, as if unaware, didn’t return Hua Qingfeng’s gaze.

Hua Qingfeng’s face turned a shade of red, uncertain of how to react.

Xuanyuan Madman stated indifferently, "You two remember not to take Long Chen lightly. Had I not known beforehand about some complex aspects of Long Chen’s identity, how could I have abstained from appearing at the Martial Alliance Formation Meeting? How could I not compete for the position of the Alliance Hierarch?

I have been waiting until now just to make it clear to you that Long Chen is not to be trifled with."
