War God Long Ao

"Get lost."

Killing Tu Lei was within his grasp.

At this moment, Long Ao had no intention of stopping. No matter who it was, they couldn't hope to stop him. If a man stood in his way, he'd kill the man. If a god stood in his way, he'd kill the god!

But the old man who had just spoken's expression turned cold. A terrifying aura erupted from his body, freezing Long Ao in place.

Not daring to move, Long Ao was incomparably shocked. He realized that the three people who had appeared before him were simply too powerful. The difference between them and Tu Lei was like that between an ant and an elephant.

Seeing the three men, Tu Lei's face lit up with joy. He immediately bowed and said, "Sect Leader, and the two Elders."

'Sect Leader? Elders?'

The old man who had released his aura snorted coldly and said with displeasure, "Tu Lei, you've done a fine job as the Sect Leader of the Liuyun Sect."

Startled, Tu Lei immediately dropped to his knees, trembling as he said, "Elder, I was wrong. I was wrong."

Watching Tu Lei prostrate on the ground, Long Ao grew even more astonished. 'Just who are these three? Why would Tu Lei kneel to them?'

"Get out of the way."

"Thank you, Elder." Not daring to disobey in the slightest, Tu Lei stood up and scrambled to the side, his body still trembling uncontrollably.

"Who are you people?"

"Hahaha, Long Ao, you're truly impressive. But since you dared to provoke my Blood Sea Sect, your death is certain."

'The Blood Sea Sect?'

Hearing the name "Blood Sea Sect," Long Ao was shocked. As a native of the Celestial State, he had of course heard of them.

The Blood Sea Sect was a super-entity that stood above even the Thunder Empire, on par with the Ghost King Sect. One could only imagine what kind of existence the Blood Sea Sect truly was.

'Could the Liuyun Sect be connected to the Blood Sea Sect?'

As if reading Long Ao's mind, the Blood Sea Sect Elder, Du Hexuan, sneered. "You dare act so wantonly without even figuring out the backer behind the Liuyun Sect? You truly don't know the meaning of death."

The other Elder—Du Hexuan's younger brother and also an Elder of the Blood Sea Sect, Du Yunxuan—said, "Long Ao, the Liuyun Sect has always been a branch of our Blood Sea Sect. By publicly destroying the Liuyun Sect, you have made an enemy of us. Will you commit suicide here, or do you need us to act?"

Momentum.

The powerful aura emanating from the three men gave Long Ao no confidence of victory whatsoever, for they were far too strong.

Long Ao knew in his heart that even if he used the Nine Needle God-Sealing, he might not be able to escape from them safely. It was a gut feeling.

"Nebula Royal Family, since you're here, you may as well come out."

Following Du Hexuan's words, three figures emerged from nearby. It was none other than the Nebula Royal Family's Emperor Ouyang Feng, Crown Prince Ouyang Fei, and the National Protection Hall Master, Tang Lin.

"Grandmaster Guan, and you two Elders."

Nodding indifferently, the Blood Sea Sect's Sect Leader, Guan Feng, said coldly, "This is a grudge between Long Ao and my Blood Sea Sect. I trust the Nebula Kingdom won't be interfering."

"Sect Leader, if the Nebula Kingdom dares to interfere, we'll just slaughter them," Du Hexuan's words were incredibly arrogant, but everyone present knew he had the capital to back it up.

Ouyang Feng wore a wry expression. He had previously forgotten that the Liuyun Sect was a branch of the Blood Sea Sect. It was a case of one wrong step leading to another. Even if his heart was filled with a million regrets, he could only choose to compromise.

"Grandmaster Guan, Long Ao has already left the National Protection Hall. Just a short while ago, our Nebula Kingdom even ceded Red Fire Town to the Long Family. Therefore, from this moment on, Long Ao's actions have nothing to do with our Nebula Kingdom."

"Father Emperor."

Waving his hand, Ouyang Feng said helplessly, "This is a grudge between the Blood Sea Sect and Long Ao. It has nothing to do with our Nebula Kingdom."

Hearing Ouyang Feng's words and seeing the look of helplessness on Ouyang Fei's face, Long Ao suddenly threw his head back and laughed. His laughter was filled with a strange, complex mix of emotions.

'So this is the Nebula Kingdom. This is the same Nebula Kingdom that tried so hard to win me over not long ago. What a ridiculous joke. As for a kingdom like this, Long Ao has decided he will never join it, no matter what.'

'When you're useful, they hold on to you tightly. The moment you're useless, they can't wait to kick you to the curb. That's the Nebula Kingdom for you.'

"Ouyang Feng is absolutely right. I, Long Ao, truly have nothing to do with the Nebula Kingdom. Not now, and not in the future."

After a deep, meaningful look, Long Ao continued, "From this day forward, no matter what happens, the safety and security of the Nebula Kingdom will no longer have anything to do with me, Long Ao, or my family."

Long Ao's meaning was crystal clear. Ouyang Feng wasn't an idiot; of course he understood.

"Brother Long."

Without giving Ouyang Fei a chance to speak, Long Ao smiled and said, "Brother Ouyang, I know your situation, and I don't blame you. No matter what happens between me and the Nebula Kingdom in the future, you will always be my big brother."

"Let's go."

Ouyang Fei left without another word. No matter how you looked at it, the Nebula Kingdom was the one in the wrong.

Watching the three of them leave, Guan Feng and his men sneered endlessly. After all, in their eyes, the Nebula Kingdom wasn't even worth a fart. They believed the Blood Sea Sect could annihilate the entire kingdom with just the lift of a finger.

"Long Ao, seeing as you're something of a genius, I'll give you a chance. Kill yourself."

"Kill your sister."

"You dare curse me?"

Sneering, Long Ao shot back, "You're the beast among scumbags, the king of all beasts. Your living is a waste of air, and your dying would be a waste of land. I'll give you a piece of advice: you'd be better off buying a block of tofu and smashing your head against it until you die."

PFFT.

"Ao Xue."

"Dad, I think Long Ao is totally right. The Blood Sea Sect is shameless to begin with," Ao Xue said with a mocking expression, pulling a middle-aged man out with her. Seeing this man, the expressions of Guan Feng and the two Elders changed slightly.

"Brother Guan, long time no see. I trust you've been well."

"Hmph. Brother Ao, are you here to protect Long Ao?"

Long Ao was no fool. Seeing how close Ao Xue was with the middle-aged man, he had already guessed that this must be the Sect Leader of the Ghost King Sect, Ao Tian—Ao Xue's biological father.

Long Ao was of course well aware of Ao Xue and Ao Tian's purpose in coming. He was more than a little touched. After all, he knew that if the Ghost King Sect stepped forward to protect him, they would certainly provoke the Blood Sea Sect.

"Hahaha, Brother Guan, I'm not here to protect Long Ao. I'm just here to take a look at my future son-in-law. I've just had a look, and he's not bad, not bad at all. Ao Xue really has good taste."

"Dad!" Ao Xue's face was flushed red, but her expression betrayed her feelings. Seeing this, Guan Feng and his men cried out internally, 'This is bad!' If Long Ao became the Ghost King Sect's son-in-law, then wouldn't the Blood Sea Sect be declaring war on the Ghost King Sect by continuing to move against him? The Blood Sea Sect could ignore the Nebula Kingdom, but they didn't dare ignore the Ghost King Sect.
