Chapter 1619

The Mu Long family far away in another prefecture, at this moment, the Mu Long family fell into silence; the whole hall had no one speaking, all were silent.

It seemed they all felt the oppressive pressure of death; those Elders collectively remained silent, one after another falling silent.

This expedition to the Mangshan Mountain Range, aiming to stop Diewumeng's Advancement to the Tribulation Realm, resulted in everyone dying; those sent out all died, not a single one returned alive; Elder Mu Long Neng died, Elder Mu Long Wenlong died, plus several Elders, many elite disciples, all perished.

The entire army was wiped out, without exception; the deaths of these disciples dealt the Mu Long family another heavy loss, repeatedly suffering setbacks in the Mangshan Mountain Range, and moreover, before they could confirm what they wanted to investigate, they met with a setback.

It can be said that the Mu Long family's losses these few times surpass any previous battle; even the great wars the Mu Long family once stirred up did not incur such a loss, seriously threatening the Mu Long family's foundation.

Elder Mu Long Dida died, Elder Mu Long Ren Er died, moreover Mu Long Chen and Elder Mu Long Neng all died; just the deaths of the Elders exceeded a dozen, the elite disciples exceeded a hundred, most importantly Mu Long Wenlong also died—that was the Mu Long family's future, and also the next Family Head of the Mu Long family—just died like that.

The son of the current Mu Long family Family Head Mulong Tian, the most beloved son, the son who gathered myriad affections, the son excellent in every aspect, the most suitable heir, just died like that.

No remains left, nothing remained, even that soul tablet shattered, never again... cannot be revived; this blow fiercely silenced all the Mu Long family's high-ranking members, never again having that former arrogance.

Mulong Tian sat in that seat, remaining silent throughout, his face icy, his eyes holding anger, suppressing it again and again to keep himself calm, lest he erupt on the spot; he knew that even if he got angry it would be useless—his son died, Mu Long Wenlong died, the blow was too great for him, he almost fainted.

Before, even the death of Mu Long Wenshan did not make him this angry; other sons dying were just that, he would not be overly grieved, but Mu Long Wenlong's death dealt him a massive blow, something he could not accept.

After his heart had calmed for a long while, Mulong Tian opened his mouth: 'Speak up, what should we do next?'

He clenched his fists, very much wanting to rush immediately to the Mangshan Mountain Range, wipe out the Mangshan Demon Palace, avenge his son; but he knew that doing so would only doom the Mu Long family and could not bring any benefit to the Mu Long family, for the sake of the Mu Long family he could not do that.

He is the Family Head of the Mu Long family; he cannot sacrifice the family for his own private gain—that would be wrong.

Elder Mu Long Dang said: 'Family Head, please accept my condolences.'

Other Elders also spoke up: 'Family Head, please accept my condolences.'

Everyone knows this operation failed, too many elites were sacrificed; they also cannot accept it, the blow to them is also great; up to now, they still cannot accept this result, but the event has already happened and cannot be changed.

'Alright, this Family Head is fine; you all speak, what should we do next? The Mangshan Demon Palace slaughtered so many of our Mu Long family's Elders and disciples; this debt must be settled, we cannot let the Mangshan Demon Palace continue to be so arrogant.'

'If this matter gets out, the blow to our Mu Long family will be too great; we must let the Mangshan Demon Palace know what the consequences are for offending our Mu Long family, otherwise those restless forces will surely move against us.'

'Recently, nearby there have already been quite a few people starting to eye us, they all want to make a move, hum.'

Mulong Tian stood up and said coldly: 'Seeing our Mu Long family suffer heavy losses, those people have begun to have ideas; Elders, quickly produce some regulations, so that everyone knows our Mu Long family is still that Mu Long family, not something anyone can provoke.'

Upon these words, the other Elders fell silent, the number of Elders in the hall reduced by half.

These Elders remain silent, knowing that once they speak, the Family Head will assign them tasks.

These Elders who went out these few times all died; Elder Mu Long Jie died in that world, taking a batch of disciples with him to their doom.

This time, Mu Long Wenlong and Elder Mu Long Neng also died; the remaining elite disciples cannot be sacrificed any further, otherwise the Mu Long family's next generation would truly be gone.

Elder Mu Long Mu said: 'Family Head, we cannot go to the Mangshan Mountain Range for the time being; I know your anger, but our Mu Long family truly cannot continue sending people to the Mangshan Mountain Range—we have failed repeatedly, the Mangshan Mountain Range remains dangerous, we have no need to insist on stationing there.'

'After Diewumeng successfully advanced to the Tribulation Realm, the Mangshan Mountain Range is no longer something we can meddle with; this demon harbors even greater resentment toward our Mu Long family than Zhang Mang does, and moreover, the Mangshan Mountain Range also has another Tribulation Realm Strong One, Bai Qingfeng, this old ancestor of the Luotian White Snake Clan is not easy to deal with, possessing many mysterious divine abilities.'

'As things stand, we have no one who can counter her petrifying divine ability; so, Family Head, we can change strategy, letting the forces within Cangzhou fight each other, especially between the Corpse Refining Sect and the Mangshan Mountain Range—they have once again forged enmity this time; if we just add a little fuel, we can provoke their battle.'

Elder Mu Long Yan echoed: 'Family Head, Elder Mu Long Mu is quite right; we need not act ourselves, we can let them fight each other.'

'Tian Du Men and the Accumulated Dust Sect are restless, and the Heaven Sword Sect over there is the same; as long as we just add a little fuel, we can provoke their disputes; then our Mu Long family can sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman.'

Elder Mu Long Kun stood up and said: 'We can completely do as before, sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight.'

Several Elders spoke up one after another, none wanting to take action, nor wanting to act against the Mangshan Mountain Range.

Having suffered losses several times, this time no matter what they cannot send people again; they will not go, not wanting to follow in the footsteps of other Elders.

Mulong Tian glanced around, sighed, and said: 'Forget it, since all the Elders have said this, then let's arrange it this way.'

'This matter is entrusted to you, Elder Mu Long Dang; go and arrange it.'

Elder Mu Long Dang rose: 'Yes, Family Head.'

The other Elders all let out a breath of relief, exchanged glances, and could see each other's feelings; they all feared death, having lost so many Elders in succession, this time no matter what they cannot send people to the Mangshan Mountain Range—that would be going to die.

The Mangshan Mountain Range remains as it was before, very dangerous, humans cannot set foot there; the Mu Long family, refusing to believe in evil, ended up suffering a heavy blow.

Elder Mu Long Dang also does not wish to go himself; no matter how many people he is allowed to bring, he is unwilling.
