Ling Tian stood on the treetop of a large tree on a mountain peak over a hundred kilometers away from Canglong Valley, gazing in the direction of Canglong Valley. The commotion Ling Tian had caused this time was so immense that he could see it even from this distance.
Thousands of thick lightning bolts struck within Canglong Valley. Some buildings were hit by multiple bolts. Many people in the valley were not directly struck by lightning, but rainwater was conductive, and quite a few were indirectly killed by this conductivity.
Ling Tian was very satisfied with his masterpiece. He had used the Lightning Attraction Talisman more than once, but at most, it could only attract one heavenly lightning bolt.
This time, he had spent hundreds of millions worth of jade to set up the Lightning Attraction Formation. It had to be said that the power of money was indeed terrifying. The difference in power between the two was like that between a handgun and a multi-barrel rocket launcher!
Even from tens of kilometers away, Ling Tian could feel the power of the distant lightning, and the air was filled with the smell of ozone.
The Great Lightning Attraction Formation converted all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered around Canglong Valley into lightning power, and then it descended!
The power of tens of thousands of heavenly lightning bolts striking down was no less than that of a small tactical nuclear bomb.
Ling Tian was content. He summoned his Sea Eagle and then hid in the spiritual realm space, flying towards the capital.
As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Especially for a prominent family with a thousand years of heritage like the Long family, even if their headquarters was destroyed this time and their ancestral shrine was razed, and their core disciples suffered heavy losses, the Long family's bloodline was still spread throughout China and even other countries in the world.
Ling Tian had already discussed with his three masters that no matter what, they could not let the Long family know their identities or who was responsible!
Otherwise, Ling Tian and his loved ones would be in danger.
The best news for Ling Tian now was that everyone thought he was dead, which would dispel everyone's vigilance towards him.
The sky finally brightened, and the dark clouds that had been hovering over Canglong Valley had all disappeared. These dark clouds had also been converted into lightning power and fell to the ground.
At this moment, the sky above Canglong Valley was clear and bright, without a single cloud. The morning sun shone on the ground, refracting with the water vapor in the air to form a rainbow.
However, beneath the rainbow was a ground full of ruins and devastation!
Suddenly, a thick, cracked stone slab was pushed aside, and a man cautiously poked his head out. After a while, a few more people emerged from underground.
They searched their surroundings and found no danger, then turned to notify the people in the basement.
Before long, everyone from the basement came out. These people were the head of the Long family, Long Yaotian, his son Long Xiao, and a few confidantes.
Upon emerging, Long Yaotian saw the devastated scene and spat out another mouthful of blood.
After a while, Long Yaotian recovered and then gave his orders.
"Quick, quickly go and count the losses and casualties, see if there are any survivors, hurry...
Oh, and also, find that bastard Long Yaozu for me!" After saying this, Long Yaotian sat down on the ground, as if all his strength had been drained.
Long Xiao quickly took out a bottle of pills from his怀, took out a few fragrant pills, and stuffed them into Long Yaotian's mouth.
Long Yaotian said nothing after taking the pills, and began to meditate and circulate his energy to regulate his body.
Long Xiao also immediately led the surviving subordinates to search inside and outside the entire Canglong Valley.
Several hours later, a weary Long Xiao returned with a few subordinates. Long Yaotian, who was meditating, heard footsteps and opened his eyes.
"Dad..." Long Xiao's voice trembled slightly.
"Speak, my heart is not that fragile!"
"As of last night, our Canglong Valley had a total of 825 people. After our search, only 29 are still alive, and among them, four or five are seriously injured... seriously injured to the point where their martial arts and cultivation have been crippled..."
"Wow!" Upon hearing his son's report, Long Yaotian opened his mouth again and spat out a large mouthful of blood. This time, the amount of blood was quite large.
His heart was trembling, because this time, to celebrate the use of the Spirit Gathering Formation, Long Yaotian had ordered all the elites and high-ranking members of his family who did not have any unavoidable matters to attend to to be summoned back.
This was because he felt that the plan that the Long family had planned for a hundred years had finally been successfully implemented, which was a great honor for him as the patriarch.
As a result, this move of his had resulted in the complete annihilation of the family's elites!
Besides many young people, many old fellows and the Long family's venerated guests had also died this time. The key was that he was disheartened, the inheritance was broken, and many of the Long family's martial arts inheritances might even be lost because of this!
It would probably take several generations and half a year to restore the Long family to its current strength!
"Furthermore, Father, all the buildings on the ground have been destroyed, and more than half of the underground buildings have also been lost. Our library and treasure vault caught fire after being struck by lightning and were completely burned down..."
When Long Yaotian heard this, his heart was bleeding. The Long family's treasure vault contained a large number of rare treasures. Every week, good things collected by the Long family from all over the world were continuously transported here by helicopter.
But now, all of it was gone, all of it had turned into smoke. However, the loss of these rare treasures in the treasure vault was no less than that of the Spirit Gathering Formation.
With great effort, Long Yaotian managed to stop the dizziness in his head. He forced himself to say, "Investigate, investigate thoroughly for me, and find the mastermind behind this. I will not rest until I have avenged this!"
"Deploy all our remaining forces to investigate this matter!"
"Yes, Father!"
"By the way, where is Long Yaozu?"
"Uh... he's dead!"
As Long Xiao spoke, he waved his hand at his subordinates, and two people carried a corpse over. However, this corpse was scorched black all over, having been burned into charcoal.
When Long Yaotian saw this, he was furious. He had originally wanted to kill Long Yaozu with his own hands, but Long Yaozu had already died, leaving him no chance at all.
"Are you sure this is definitely Long Yaozu? I remember he seemed to have gone to the shelter with us at the time!"
"Father, I suspect it might be because he was old and his legs were not agile enough, so he couldn't get inside in time, and thus died outside!"
Speaking of which, this time, the Long family father and son were able to escape with their lives, all thanks to their underground shelter.
Beneath the entire Canglong Valley, there were many shelters under the buildings, which were basements.
However, the basement that the Long family father and son entered was not only large in area, but also had some jade pillars around it, with strange patterns carved on the pillars.
