Chapter 197: The Mysterious Old Man Reappears

Seeing Long Er covered in blood and gore, Duan Fengyun had no heart left to waste words on this group of Dongying people, so he struck directly to kill them all in an instant.

The four of them looked at Long Er in Nie Feng's arms, and with moist eyes, they said:

"Long Er, where are you uncomfortable?

Tell Daddy quickly!"

Long Er raised his hands, and with his blood-soaked fingers, he recounted to the four of them the inhuman treatment he had suffered.

After Bu Jingyun kicked away a Dongying person in front of him, he said angrily:

"For such dog-like things, letting them die is too cheap; I should return the pain they inflicted upon Long Er back to them tenfold."

Long Er looked at the four of them and smiled:

"Daddy, I didn't lose face for you, did I?

They made me curse you, but I never gave in even a little bit."

Duan Fengyun held Long Er's head tightly and said:

"Long Er is the bravest; Long Er is Daddy's good son."

After hearing Duan Fengyun's words, Long Er smiled and closed his eyes.

"Long Er!"

"Long Er!"

Seeing Long Er close his eyes, Bu Jingyun and Qin Shuang shouted.

Only then did Nie Feng and Duan Fengyun use their True Qi to sense Long Er's physical condition.

After checking, the two of them roared with eyes about to split:

"Dongying people, I will not coexist with you!"

"Junior Brother Duan, what exactly happened to Long Er!"

Qin Shuang looked at the two grief-stricken men and asked worriedly.

Duan Fengyun said angrily:

"They injured Long Er's internal organs; Long Er is now suffering from very heavy injuries.

If it weren't for the fact that Long Er possesses several decades of cultivation, he likely would have already met his end."

"What, they could even lay a hand on such a small child? Letting them off just now was truly too cheap,"

Bu Jingyun shouted.

"Junior Brother Duan, the most urgent matter now is to quickly treat Long Er!

Let's hurry and take Long Er to the market to find a doctor,"

Qin Shuang said.

Upon hearing this, Duan Fengyun hurriedly took Long Er from Nie Feng's hands, stood up, and was about to rush to the market.

"Duan Fengyun, if you take this little fellow to find a doctor today instead of treating him immediately, I can guarantee you will regret it for the rest of your life."

A deep, familiar voice rang out in the ears of the four.

A middle-aged old man flew out from the woods and then stood before the four of them.

Bu Jingyun thought this was an accomplice of the Dongying people, so he pointed his sword at the old man and said:

"Old fellow, what did you mean by that just now?

Are you an accomplice of this group? Speak the truth quickly!"

The old man stroked his beard, which was as long as a horsetail whisk, and smiled:

"Bu Jingyun, have you forgotten who I am so quickly?"

Hearing the old man's words, combined with his voice, Duan Fengyun suddenly remembered who this old man was.

"Old sir, I didn't expect to run into you here again.

This place is desolate; meeting here, it shouldn't be fate anymore, right?"

Duan Fengyun said.

It turned out that this newcomer was the very person who had saved Bu Jingyun after he was struck down by Tieshinan's Beast Heart Rage.

Duan Fengyun also spoke up to help the three of them remember:

"Yun, don't you remember? This old sir is the senior who saved your life back then."

After hearing Duan Fengyun's words, the three of them finally remembered the old man before them.

Bu Jingyun hurriedly put away the Peerless Sword in his hand and apologized:

"Senior, I am sorry for just now; I didn't recognize you.

But as Junior Brother Duan just said, in this desolate Qingfeng Mountain, our meeting again shouldn't be fate.

Senior, you must have been following us in secret, right!"

The old man did not answer, but instead walked with large strides to Duan Fengyun's side and took Long Er.

The old man used his True Qi to suspend Long Er in mid-air, and while continuously infusing True Qi into Long Er, he said:

"I don't have time to answer your questions now; wait until I have saved this little fellow first, then I will answer your questions.

This little fellow's internal organs have all been injured; if they are not treated immediately, even if you save him, his path of martial arts will have reached its end.

This little fellow has such good talent for martial arts; I cannot bear to watch him be ruined just like this."

The old man continuously infused his own True Qi into Long Er, then kept tapping Long Er's Extraordinary Meridians.

Looking at this, after Long Er survives this ordeal, he should be like a phoenix rising from the ashes, with his power rising to a new level.

After half an hour, with the old man slightly sweating, Long Er slowly opened his eyes, and the old man also withdrew his True Qi and slowly placed Long Er on the ground.

Long Er did a kip-up from the ground; looking at this, the little fellow's injuries had already healed for the most part.

The most miraculous thing was that his hands, which had been covered in blood and gore, and his wounds had already healed, with not a single scar to be seen.

The four of them, including Duan Fengyun, were shocked by this ability of the mysterious old man.

Long Er rushed forward, hugged Duan Fengyun tightly, and cried:

"Dad, I thought I would never see you again.

Just now, it felt like I was in a very, very dark place; I kept calling out, but no one paid any attention to me."

Duan Fengyun hugged Long Er, stroked Long Er's head, and said:

"Long Er, Dad also thought he would never see you again.

Quickly thank this old senior; it was he who stepped in to save you.

If he hadn't stepped in to save you, the consequences would have been unthinkable."

Long Er let go of Duan Fengyun, knelt before the old man, kowtowed, and thanked him:

"Many thanks to the old senior for the grace of saving my life."

The old man pulled Long Er up, stroked Long Er's head, and said:

"Little one, you are the future hope of this martial arts world.

I cherish talent and cannot bear to see a heaven-sent prodigy of a generation perish just like that, which is why I stepped in to save your life."

Duan Fengyun kept speculating about the old man's identity in his heart; based on the old man's two sudden appearances and his formidable strength, Duan Fengyun already had an answer, but he still needed further confirmation.

He opened his mouth and asked:

"Old senior, now that Long Er is fine, would it be convenient for you to tell us your honorable name!

It would be easier to address you in the future when we meet."

The old man laughed:

"Duan Fengyun, I have, after all, stepped in to save you both twice; won't you even invite me to sit down and have a drink of water or something?"

Duan Fengyun caught the implication in the old man's words, and he laughed:

"Then please, senior, come with us to Longmen; I will prepare some light wine to properly thank you, senior."

The old man pointed ahead and said:

"Then I will respectfully obey; please lead the way."

Thus, Duan Fengyun and the others brought the old man back to Longmen.

Arriving before the Mountain Gate, seeing that Long Er was safe and sound, the gate-guarding disciples wept with joy and said:

"Young Master Long Er, we were worried to death about you.

Seeing you return safely, we are much more at ease."

What the gate-guarding disciples were actually worried about was not Long Er's safety, but how Duan Fengyun would deal with them if something were to happen to Long Er.

Even if Duan Fengyun said verbally that he would not blame them for this matter, if something truly went wrong, they would still be unable to escape responsibility.

Long Er touched his head and laughed awkwardly:

"Sorry, big brothers.

I made you worry, but I'm fine now, so you don't need to worry or feel guilty anymore."

Looking at Long Er and thinking of his many enemies, Duan Fengyun finally made up his mind and stated his requirements for controlling Long Er:

"Pass on my order: from now on, whenever Long Er wants to leave Longmen, you must notify me immediately.

Without my consent, no one is allowed to let Long Er out of the Mountain Gate.

If anyone dares to violate my order, I will definitely punish them severely without leniency."

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

The gate-guarding disciples knelt one after another and replied.

Upon hearing that Duan Fengyun had actually issued a grounding order against him, Long Er pulled on Duan Fengyun and begged:

"Dad, I won't go out alone again in the future.

But at least give me some personal freedom!"

Having gone through this incident, Duan Fengyun had realized the severity of the situation; he shook his head and replied:

"Long Er, Dad is doing this to protect you.

This time you were lucky that this old senior saved you.

But what about next time? No one can guarantee that you will be this lucky every time!

Dad has many enemies, and no one knows who might be plotting something evil in the shadows. Therefore, until you meet my requirements, you are absolutely not allowed to leave Longmen without my consent."

Duan Fengyun now also realized that he must help Long Er grow up as quickly as possible.

In this dog-eat-dog martial arts world, Long Er must see blood to grow.

Therefore, Duan Fengyun decided to arrange for Long Er to see blood so that Long Er could be decisive in actual combat and avoid having his flaws discovered by others.

Seeing that Duan Fengyun had spoken to this extent, Long Er knew that begging would be useless, so he had no choice but to silently lower his head and accept the result.

Duan Fengyun looked at the old man and laughed:

"Senior, my apologies; I have let you see a family matter and made you laugh.

Come, please step inside."

Duan Fengyun led the old man through Longmen and arrived at the Yishitang.

"Old senior, what do you think of my Longmen?"

Duan Fengyun asked.

The old man laughed:

"Not bad; compared to the Underworld Sect of the past, it already possesses quite a significant scale."

"Oh, has senior been to the Underworld Sect before?

The four of us grew up in the Underworld Sect since we were children; how come we have never seen you, senior?"

Qin Shuang asked in confusion.

The four of them had grown up in the Under Heaven Society since they were young, and they had never heard of this old man from Xiongba's mouth, nor had they ever seen him.

The old man recalled:

"When I came to the Under Heaven Society back then, it should have been shortly after the Under Heaven Society was first established.

At that time, Xiongba did not yet have his later prestige.

Back then, I did not display my own strength in front of Xiongba, so Xiongba certainly does not remember me."

The old man seemed to see through Qin Shuang's confusion, so he provided answers to all the doubts in Qin Shuang's heart.

And for the four of them, the old man's answer had absolutely no loopholes.

Now that Xiongba was dead, it was impossible to verify whether what the old man said was true or false.

At this moment, Wen Chou Chou, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, looked at everyone who was safe and sound, patted his chest, and said:

"Thank heavens, you have all returned safely; you worried me to death.

Young Master Long Er, are you alright?"

Long Er walked up to Wen Chou Chou with a cheeky grin and tugged at the hat on Wen Chou Chou's head, saying:

"Uncle Chouchou, of course I'm fine.

I missed you too."

Wen Chou Chou looked at the old man to the side and asked politely:

"Gang Leader, who is this old gentleman?"

"You first have the kitchen prepare good wine and food; I want to properly entertain this old senior.

As for his identity, I do not know either.

Later at the dinner table, we will slowly listen to the old senior tell us about it."

Duan Fengyun arranged.

After hearing this, Wen Chou Chou immediately rushed to the kitchen to give instructions.
