Su Fan withdrew the formation and walked to Long Aohai's side.
"You lost," Su Fan said softly, looking at Long Aohai on the ground.
Long Aohai's injuries were not fatal, but if no one saved him, he would eventually die here.
"Do it," Long Aohai closed his eyes, waiting for Su Fan to finish him.
"Did I say I would kill you?" Su Fan had no intention of killing Long Aohai.
Long Aohai immediately opened his eyes.
"What do you mean!" Long Aohai glared at Su Fan angrily.
"Going back on your word, are you even a man!" Long Aohai was surprised that Su Fan intended to go back on his word and not let the Long family off.
"What going back on my word? Without you, I can't manage the Long family. If you're willing, go back and be the family head, and obey my commands from now on. If you're not willing, I'll kill you now, and then kill all the Long family members, including Long Jiany野." Su Fan said indifferently to Long Aohai.
If Su Fan really killed Long Aohai, the Long family would definitely not obey him. Even if they obeyed out of fear of his might, they would still resent him, which would always be a hidden danger. If Long Aohai were kept alive, it would be different. He only needed to control Long Aohai alone. Although Long Aohai was also a ticking time bomb, as long as he was stronger than Long Aohai, he wouldn't be able to make any waves.
Long Aohai's eyes flickered upon hearing Su Fan's words. If one could live, who would want to die? Moreover, Su Fan had said that if he disagreed, he would destroy the entire Long family.
"Family Head," Long Aohai thought for a long time, and finally lowered his proud head, bowing to Su Fan.
Su Fan smiled with satisfaction, finally temporarily resolving the hidden danger of the Long family. Although he had killed many people in the Long family, compared to the safety of the entire Long family, he knew what Long Aohai would choose.
Su Fan threw a healing pill in front of Long Aohai.
"Wait for my news after you go back. I have other things to do, so I'm leaving now."
"Wait!" Long Aohai immediately called out to Su Fan, who was about to leave.
"This is the Long family head token. With this, you can freely enter and exit any part of the Long family." Long Aohai handed his token to Su Fan.
Su Fan took it without politeness, then soared into the sky, flying towards the direction of New City. He hadn't seen Su Yutong in a long time and missed her a bit.
After watching Su Fan leave, Long Aohai swallowed the healing pill Su Fan had left. Soon, his body recovered somewhat, and he could barely move. Dragging his severely injured body, he slowly walked down the mountain to the formation platform halfway up. The Long family members were still waiting anxiously. When they saw Long Aohai's figure, they cheered.
"Family Head! That's the Family Head! We won!" They all thought that since Long Aohai had come down, Su Fan must have been left on the mountain forever, and they had won.
Long Aohai looked at their happy faces, feeling unspeakably distressed. The Long family had stood for thousands of years in China, yet they had fallen into the hands of a young man. It was simply a disgrace!
"Family Head, are you alright? Quickly, quickly come and heal the Family Head!" The crowd hurriedly called for the Long family members who were skilled in medicine to help Long Aohai heal.
Looking at everyone fussing over him with concern, Long Aohai didn't know how to speak.
"I... I lost." Finally, Long Aohai said it with a stiff neck. This news would have to be announced sooner or later. It was better to let everyone accept reality sooner rather than later.
Everyone's faces stiffened.
"How... how is that possible? Family Head, you are a master of the Tianxuan realm. How could he be your opponent!" Everyone expressed disbelief.
"That's the fact. A bet is a bet. From now on, the entire Long family will obey Su Fan's commands." After saying the first sentence, Long Aohai felt much lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. In common terms, he had given up.
"No! I don't believe it! Let Su Fan come out! I want to fight him to the death!"
"Yes! Even if I die, I won't obey an outsider!"
Long Aohai frowned. Why were these elders of the Long family so impetuous?
"I am doing this for the Long family. If you don't want the Long family to be annihilated, it's best to honor your promise. Also, we, the Long family, will not do anything that goes against our word!" Long Aohai said sternly to the Long family members.
Some Long family members immediately lowered their heads. The group led by the Great Elder stared at Long Aohai.
"Family Head, some things are not necessarily bound by promises. Things that are detrimental to the Long family must naturally be prevented. I think you've been scared by this Su Fan. If all of us join forces, Su Fan will naturally not be our opponent!" The Great Elder glared at Long Aohai and said.
Long Aohai remained silent.
"Who else has this idea? Step forward." Long Aohai didn't say much more, but looked at all the Long family members. Some people flinched when they met Long Aohai's gaze, not daring to meet his eyes. However, in the end, four or five people still stood behind the Great Elder, indicating their support for the Great Elder's actions.
"Heh," Long Aohai sneered. "I have dedicated my life to the Long family and have never made a decision detrimental to the family. After so many years, there are still people who doubt my decisions. It's truly laughable. I'll give you one more chance. From now on, obey Su Fan's orders. Can you do it?" Long Aohai asked the Great Elder and his group expressionlessly.
"Impossible! I would rather die than obey an outsider!" The Great Elder was very assertive, or rather, stubborn.
Long Aohai closed his eyes in disappointment.
"Very well, then all of you die!" A strong sword intent surged from Long Aohai, pointing directly at the Great Elder and his group. The Great Elder was suddenly shocked, not expecting Long Aohai to attack him. As the Great Elder was about to dodge, Long Aohai raised his hand and pointed, and a sharp sword qi instantly pierced the Great Elder's heart. The Great Elder looked at Long Aohai with unwillingness and disbelief. The other Long family members standing beside the Great Elder were instantly torn to shreds by the sharp sword intent.
The Long family members who did not stand with the Great Elder were dumbfounded.
"Family... Family Head..." Everyone was filled with fear and trepidation. They wanted to question Long Aohai, but they were afraid of becoming the next Great Elder. They stammered, not knowing what to say.
"My decisions are all for the Long family. If you don't obey Su Fan, Su Fan can easily destroy the Long family. Don't blame me. Blame the Long family for not being strong enough. When I am strong enough, I will avenge you." Long Aohai looked at the Great Elder lying on the ground and said softly. In this situation, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys was the fastest solution. Otherwise, Long Aohai didn't know how long he would have to engage in internal strife with these people. He might as well use this time to improve his strength. Only by becoming strong enough could he escape Su Fan's control, and even kill Su Fan!
