The Legacy System

Long Fu was one of the many Long Family people that was in the Mansion when the commotion started, and he was also one of the first ones to reach the place.

The moment that he took the last turn and finally reached the scene, he couldn't help but get shocked by what appeared in front of him.

Contrary to expectations there was no grand battle or some sort of great technique or skill used. Even if there was still dust and debris floating about, things seemed to have been somewhat settled.

Peace and calm seemed to have returned to the Long Family Mansion, as the 'enemy' seemed to have been brought down.

It could be said to be his great luck and opportunity to actually see one of the Elders of the family, one of those people who had reached the apex of known evolution.

Unfortunately, that Elder didn't seem to be in a good mood. As a matter of fact, he looked like he was extremely emotional, angry, enraged, sad, and even frightening at that moment.

It was a bit puzzling at first sight, but everything became clear the moment that he looked to the side, and noticed something that made even him greatly saddened, emotional, and enraged.

Right beside the Elder, there was the lifeless corpse of Master Long, the Family Head of the Long Family. Their spiritual and de-facto leader.

His loss would be a great loss to the Long Family, his existence was irreplaceable, and indispensable to the Family.

Long Fu wasn't the only person to have witnessed this scene as right after him many people appeared one after another.

Each and every one of them was in the same state and condition as Long Fu, they couldn't believe their eyes.

Even more so when they saw the rest of the victims being Madam Yan Meng and her son. In fact, the situation was so weird that it looked like Madam Yan Meng had died without understanding how.

To be more accurate she didn't seem to realize that she had died by now and was still looking full of disbelief toward the Elder.

There was a weird trace of anger, rage, disbelief, and unwillingness on her face. It seemed like she didn't want to accept the result of the exchange.

Even more so, as her son had suffered the same fate behind her. All her efforts, plans, ploys, and hopes had been fully destroyed at that moment.

"Noooo… My son, Older brother what happened!? How did my son die!? Who killed my son!?"

Right as everyone was in a stupor state due to the situation in front of them, a crying voice full of pain and suffering broke the silence and stupor.

Unconsciously each and every one of them turned their heads towards the direction of the voice, only to see the old Madam of the Long Family almost falling towards the direction of her son's corpse.

This was the question on everyone's mind at the moment. Who had killed their Family Head!?

Well, to be more accurate this was the question in the heads of Long Fu and those that came almost at the same time as him.

Looking at the scene the first suspect would be Madam Yan Meng but looking at that expression of hers right before she fell to the ground it seemed a bit weird.

Still, no matter what that question was meant to never be answered, as there was no one who could give them a different answer from the official one.

Madam Yan Meng had benefited from the fact that Master Long held feelings towards her, had ambushed him, and then killed him before he could make a move.

The Elder had arrived too late and had been unable to save Master Long and could only kill the one responsible in his fit of rage.

There was no other valid testimony besides the one coming from the Elder, as even Wei QingPing's and Miss Lu's bodies were cut by his attack.

Doubting the Elder and his integrity would be a death wish to whoever dared to voice such words, for that reason everyone could only shut up and accept everything.

The only person who seemed unwilling to accept only the bland testimony of the Elder was the old Madam! At that moment though she had been overcome by the pain for her son, so she didn't cause a scene.

…

Only in a matter of days, Master Long had been buried, as the Long Family entered an emergency conference to select their new Family Head.

In order to have a united family and survive the current calamity, they could only try their best to find a good Family Head that would lead them towards their goals.

Surprisingly or unsurprisingly the new Family Head was Long Ao, the first son of the Elder who killed the murderer of the previous Family Head.

The selection was fully unanimous, marking a new record for the Long Family, as this was a first.

The most surprising part of all this though, was the first decision that the new Family Head took, as he immediately claimed to fight instead of laying low in the current situation.

His intentions were clear, he wanted to make the Long Family a scary ground for whoever thought of opposing them.

In fact, that was only secondary, because the first thing he wanted to achieve was the conquering of the whole country.

He wanted to rile up all these new 'experts' against the big families, and then attack the big families from behind to stand tall as the only big family, before he either swiped clean all the troublesome flies.

Immediately as the Family Head stated his decision there was quite a crowd of Long Family people and disciples that excitedly jumped out of the Long Family protection, to make a name for themselves.

…

While the Long Family experienced quite the situation that attracted quite a bit of attention to the outside world, the outside world didn't have the chance to mettle in it.

Over the fact that the changes in the Long Family happened too soon, the outside world was in a pinch of its own, as more and more crazy experts were appearing.

The big families were being targeted by all kinds of people and were forced to take a passive stance, with many of them thinking of striking the iron while it was hot.

The more they allowed these new 'experts' the grow, the more in trouble would they be in the future, so it was better to wipe out the risks as soon as they could.

Of course, since this was a period of trouble and unrest, the Family Heads of the big families were trying their best to keep their eyes open and protect their selves.

After all, the Long Family wasn't the only one who had inner factions, all the other big families had them as well.

Especially the Cui Family, of which Cui Xie was a part of. They went through quite a bit of inner trouble themselves before they actually made a public statement joining the Long Family's banner of war…
