Chapter 74: Get the Hell Out Here
At Mu Wanfeng's repeated insistence, Long Ao stayed at the Mu Family's residence for a full three days.
「Three days later, at the Long Family's estate in Red Fire Town.」
Long Ao never once mentioned the matter with the Liuyun Sect. Meanwhile, for some unknown reason, the Nebula Royal Family directly ordered the major renovations of Red Fire Town to continue. You could say Red Fire Town was transforming by the day.
This time, upon returning to his family, Long Ao spent most of his time with his parents, aside from his Cultivation of the Soul-Sealing Seal and Nine Needle God-Sealing.
「Three days later, Long Ao departed from the Long Family.」
「Outside Thundercloud City.」
Gazing at the tall city walls behind him, Long Ao clenched his fists, his tone resolute as he said, "No matter who it is, no one will harm my family."
In Celestial State, the Liuyun Sect was considered a mid-tier Sect. Its power was less than any of the families in Nebula City, but it was still superior to Thundercloud City.
Flowing Cloud Peak stretched for several miles, one peak connected to the next, resembling flowing clouds and water—hence the name, Flowing Cloud Peak.
"This is the territory of the Liuyun Sect. Outsiders are forbidden from entering without permission."
"I'm looking for Ye Hao."
Ye Hao?
The two disciples guarding the gate of the Liuyun Sect were stunned to hear the visitor call Elder Ye Hao by his name directly. When they saw how young he was, their faces instantly filled with disdain and contempt.
"Kid, I suggest you leave this place at once. Otherwise, you won't even have a chance to regret it."
"Brother, this guy dared to say the Elder's name directly. That alone is a capital offense. Why don't we take him down? If Elder Ye is pleased, he might take us as his disciples. We'd be set for life then."
Staring coldly at the two men before him, Long Ao spoke in an extremely frigid voice, "Get out of my way."
"Get out of the way? You're telling *us* to get out of the way? HAHAHAHA." As if they had just heard the most ridiculous thing in the world, the two of them laughed with abandon.
"Kid, who are you? State your name if you've got the guts."
"Long Ao, a disciple of the Long Family from Red Fire Town in Thundercloud City."
"Thundercloud City? Red Fire Town? The Long Family? AHAHAHAHA!" Hearing Long Ao's identity, the two laughed even more outrageously. In the eyes of the Liuyun Sect, the Red Fire Town Long Family was less than nothing, to say nothing of a mere disciple from that family.
The Long Clan was one of the most powerful clans on the Celestial Martial Continent. Had he been from even a Fifth Level Long Family, these two would never have dared to be so insolent. This was the direct consequence of belonging to a powerful family.
Long Ao didn't resent his family, for he knew that if he wanted to stop people from looking down on him, he could only rely on himself.
"Kid, since you're from Red Fire Town, you can just stay here."
The two attacked in unison. Perhaps in an attempt to curry favor, both of them used lethal force. But what was the result?
They came fast, but they were sent flying even faster. All that could be heard were two miserable screams, followed by the sound of bones cracking. Their pig-like squeals echoed throughout the Liuyun Sect. A moment later, several figures shot down from Flowing Cloud Peak.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived.
The five arrivals were all Inner Sect Disciples of the Liuyun Sect, each an Inner Strength Tenth Heaven Martial Artist. They were considered elites within the Liuyun Sect, and every one of them was exceptionally arrogant.
"Brother Chen, this bastard is causing trouble! Stop him, quick!"
Seeing the two disciples screaming on the ground, the five who had just landed were instantly shocked. Chen Cheng asked in a cold voice, "Who might you be? Why have you come to the Liuyun Sect to cause trouble?"
"The Liuyun Sect's dogs are biting people indiscriminately. I had no choice but to teach them a lesson on the Sect's behalf."
"Sir, don't you think you've gone a bit too far?"
Waving his hand dismissively, Long Ao didn't want to waste another word. He said directly, "I'm looking for Ye Hao. This has nothing to do with you."
"Hmph! Who do you think you are, daring to call Elder Ye by his name directly? That alone is enough reason to kill you." The others were naturally incensed. 'What a joke. This is the Liuyun Sect. For some punk to so brazenly call an Elder by name... if word of this got out, the Liuyun Sect would become a laughingstock.'
This time, Long Ao clearly had no intention of wasting time. Before the five could even make a move, his body shot forward. To their utter shock, before they could even react, they were sent flying one by one. 'To send five Inner Strength Tenth Heaven Martial Artists flying with one punch each?'
What did that even mean?
At this point, anyone who still couldn't grasp the opponent's strength would have to be a true idiot. It was for this very reason that everyone stared at him in terror. It was hard to imagine where this person got his confidence. So what if he was an Innate Martial Artist? The Liuyun Sect was full of experts, as numerous as trees in a forest.
"Ye Hao, get the hell out here!"
"Ye Hao, get the hell out here!" Although Long Ao's voice wasn't loud, it rolled out like a monstrous, heaven-shaking wave. In the blink of an eye, it had spread throughout the entire Liuyun Sect. In less than a minute, the whole sect was in an uproar.
"Long Ao, you've gone too far!"
Ye Hao's voice rang out, and his figure appeared immediately after. He stared coldly at the youth before him. At this moment, Ye Hao's expression was sinister to the extreme.
Ye Hao simply couldn't figure it out. 'We already have a one-year agreement, and the deadline hasn't arrived. Why would he show up at my door and tell me to 'get the hell out here'? This is beyond unacceptable; it's a fucking outrage!'
"Ye Hao, we made a one-year agreement. The deadline hasn't come, yet you shamelessly resorted to dirty tricks. You have no shame!" Long Ao threw the letter in his hand at him. The one thing he could never accept was someone threatening his family.
After a single glance, Ye Hao tossed the letter aside and said, "I didn't write this letter. Long Ao, you're quite interesting. Let me tell you straight: if I wanted to deal with your family, I could do it in a heartbeat. I wouldn't resort to playing tricks behind your back."
"Ye Hao, do you really think you can fool me? And you call yourself an Elder of the Liuyun Sect."
"Long Ao, the one-year agreement isn't up yet. If you act like this, you'll be violating the agreement between you and Elder Ye. In that case, my Liuyun Sect will not just sit by and do nothing."
The Liuyun Sect's Leader, Tu Lei, appeared before Long Ao with the Four Great Elders. As the five great powerhouses of the Liuyun Sect, their auras alone were enough to crush Long Ao. However, wary of the Nebula Royal Family, Tu Lei and the other four didn't dare to act rashly.
"Sect Leader Tu, this is a personal grudge between Ye Hao and me. The Liuyun Sect previously stated that it would not interfere in this matter. Is the Liuyun Sect planning to go back on its word?"
Although Long Ao had complete confidence in himself, he had almost no chance of winning against the entire Liuyun Sect. It was because the Liuyun Sect had previously promised not to interfere in their feud that Long Ao now felt a certain contempt for them. 'A sect that doesn't keep its word... one can only imagine what will become of a sect like this in the future.'
"Long Ao, I will not interfere with the one-year agreement between you and Elder Ye. But since you wreaked havoc in the Liuyun Sect today, I must get involved."
