War God Long Ao

Responsibility.

Long Ao was not a womanizer. He was completely devoted to Yuyin.

But unexpected things happened. Whether he had been willing or not, he had still taken the girl's body. That being the case, he had to take responsibility for her.

"Take responsibility? You think you're worthy of taking responsibility for me?"

"Don't look down on me. I know your status isn't ordinary, but I'll ask you one last time: do I need to take responsibility or not?" Long Ao was no fool. For her to have already broken through to the Peak of Fusion Realm at such a young age, her identity and background were surely extraordinary. Moreover, the arrogance on her face clearly indicated that she had powerful backing.

"No! I'd rather die than have you take responsibility for me! You stin—"

Ao Xue had just started to curse when Long Ao's glare stopped her. After being viciously beaten for dozens of minutes, Ao Xue was terrified he would continue to thrash her.

"SOB SOB SOB... You bullied me... SOB SOB SOB... SOB SOB SOB..."

Watching the girl burst into tears, Long Ao was at a loss for what to do. He would rather fight an expert than see a woman cry, especially the woman he was about to take responsibility for.

Long Ao had already decided. Regardless of who was right or wrong in this matter, he would take responsibility. As a man, one should dare to act and dare to be accountable.

Long Ao didn't know how to console the girl, so he just sat down softly beside her, watching her quietly.

After crying for who knows how long, Ao Xue finally stopped. Her anger had subsided by half. She suddenly asked, "Hey, you brat, what's your name?"

The 'stinky hoodlum' had become a 'brat.' Long Ao gave a helpless smile. He didn't press the issue with her and said, "My name is Long Ao, from the Red Fire Town Long Family."

In the past, when introducing himself, Long Ao would have definitely added the two words "Nebula Kingdom" before "Red Fire Town." But ever since leaving the National Protection Hall, Long Ao only said "Red Fire Town Long Family," not "the Nebula Kingdom's Red Fire Town Long Family."

"You're from the Long Family?"

Ao Xue seemed quite surprised. After all, the Long Clan held a powerful position on the Celestial Martial Continent. However, the Long Clan also had many branches, a full nine levels of them, so not all of the Long Family were powerful.

"If you're willing, you can tell me your name and identity. But like I said, I won't deny what I've done, and I will take responsibility for you, whether you like it or not."

"Hmph, who needs you to take responsibility?"

Ao Xue's voice was cold, but not like before. She shot him a glare and said, "My name is Ao Xue. And Long Ao, I'm telling you, I will not let what happened today slide. Just you wait."

Since she was unwilling to mention her background, Long Ao didn't press further.

"I'll be waiting."

"Hmph. Where are we now?"

Shrugging, Long Ao said helplessly, "I don't know. I've already searched the area. This is a dead-end cave with no exit. However, there are twelve drawings carved on the walls."

Drawings?

Ao Xue seemed very curious. Enduring the waves of pain coming from her body, she stood up and walked toward the wall in front of her. With just one look, her expression changed drastically. She roared with joyous surprise, "I finally found it! I finally found it! Thank you, Ancestor! Thank you, Ancestor!"

Watching the somewhat crazed Ao Xue, Long Ao was very curious and asked, "Ao Xue, what's wrong?"

"Long Ao, the main reason I came to the Thunder Forest was to find these twelve drawings! For so many years, the Sect has never been able to find them, but I can't believe I'm the one who discovered them! This is wonderful! My Ghost King Sect can finally rise!"

'The Ghost King Sect?'

Hearing Ao Xue mention the Ghost King Sect, Long Ao was startled. Of course, he was no stranger to the Ghost King Sect she spoke of.

The Ghost King Sect was a super Sect that stood above the Thunder Empire. In front of the Ghost King Sect, the Liuyun Sect wasn't even worth a fart. You could even say that not even the Thunder Empire dared to provoke the Ghost King Sect. Such was the Ghost King Sect's power and foundation.

"Ao Xue, you're a disciple of the Ghost King Sect?"

Seemingly realizing she had misspoken, Ao Xue huffed and said, "Whether I'm a disciple of the Ghost King Sect or not is none of your business! Long Ao, I'm telling you, you and I are irreconcilable enemies!"

Feeling a bit helpless, Long Ao now finally understood why Ao Xue was so domineering and proud. So, she was a disciple of the Ghost King Sect. Moreover, Long Ao could guess that her status and position in the Ghost King Sect were surely not simple. Otherwise, how could she have possibly reached the Peak of Fusion Realm at such a young age?

Long Ao knew very well that for a Martial Artist, talent alone was far from enough. The full support and cultivation of one's family or Sect were also incredibly important. Because of this, Long Ao was absolutely certain that Ao Xue's identity within the Ghost King Sect was anything but simple.

"Ao Xue, do these twelve drawings belong to the Ghost King Sect?"

"Of course. These twelve drawings are a profound Cultivation Technique and Martial Art, the unique ultimate technique of my Ghost King Sect's Ancestor. It's just that for so many years, the Ancestor's ultimate technique has been missing. No matter how our Ghost King Sect searched, we were never able to find it."

'The Ghost King Sect's Ancestor?'

Although Ao Xue didn't say it explicitly, Long Ao was no fool. He naturally knew what a stunningly talented figure the senior who founded the Ghost King Sect must have been. That being the case, the ultimate technique carved in the drawings had to be extraordinary.

Long Ao had also just looked over the drawings carved on the stone wall. He found that he couldn't understand them at all. After looking at them for a long time, he even felt a soul-shaking sensation.

"Hmph. Long Ao, did you already look at the drawings on the stone wall?"

Long Ao didn't hide anything. He nodded and admitted, "That's right. Before you woke up, I did look at the drawings on the stone wall, but I couldn't understand them at all. Not only that, I felt like my soul was being eroded by a power emanating from them."

"That's right."

'That's right?' Long Ao was perplexed, but he didn't say anything more. After all, the twelve drawings before him were clearly extraordinary.

"Long Ao, are you dying to know the origin of these twelve drawings?"

Again, Long Ao hid nothing. "That's right, I am very curious. If you're willing to tell me, I'd be happy to listen. If not, that's fine too."

In any case, since the twelve drawings were a supreme treasure of the Ghost King Sect, even if he was bursting with curiosity, he wouldn't press the issue if Ao Xue didn't want to tell him.

"My Ghost King Sect's Ancestor was a stunningly talented figure. Back then, he built the foundation of the Ghost King Sect with his own two hands. And these twelve drawings you see are actually a single drawing. It was just that the Ancestor broke it apart back then, worried it might fall into the wrong hands. This drawing is called the Endless Sea of Blood."
