War God Long Ao

In a secluded pavilion in the Long Family's rear courtyard.

"Brother An, what brings you here today?"

Long Bu was clearly unaware of what had happened between Long Ao and An Hao. After all, he was still so overjoyed about Long Potian reaching the Celestial Ladder Peak that he had no time to worry about anything else.

Since things had already come to this, Anson didn't hesitate and recounted everything that had happened.

After hearing the story, Long Bu's expression soured.

Long Bu knew perfectly well what kind of person An Hao was, but in order to win over the An Family, the Long Family had always turned a blind eye and never intervened.

Long Bu cursed Long Ao internally. 'He just arrived in Red Dragon City and he's already causing me so much trouble.'

Long Bu knew exactly what Anson wanted. Anson was only holding back because of the Long Family's power and out of respect for Potian; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so hesitant.

On one side was the An Family; on the other, Long Ao.

One was one of the Four Great Clans of Red Dragon City and a valuable ally to the Long Family. The other was just a disciple from the Ninth Level Long Family. The choice between the two was obvious.

"Brother An, my Long Family will not interfere in this matter."

Anson's eyes lit up. As an old fox, how could he not understand the hidden meaning in Long Bu's words? He quickly said, "Thank you, Brother Long. I will be sure to reward you handsomely later."

Waving his hand, Long Bu refused. "There's no need. Long Ao is still Potian's friend. If I were to act against him, I wouldn't be able to explain it to Potian. Therefore, you'll have to handle this yourself."

"Brother Long, what if Potian investigates this?"

Long Potian was the Long Family's undisputed super genius, the one with the greatest hope of pursuing the Dragon Ranking in a hundred years.

One could only imagine Long Potian's status within the Long Family.

It was precisely for this reason that Anson didn't dare to act rashly. If Long Potian decided to make trouble for them later, what would his family do?

Without a doubt, if forced to choose between the An Family and Long Potian, Long Bu and the Long Family would one hundred percent choose Long Potian over the An Family and himself.

Long Bu was well aware of Anson's worries. He nodded and said, "I'll send Potian away shortly. He should be back around tomorrow morning. That gives you a day and a night. I trust you can take care of Long Ao in that time."

"Not a problem."

'He's just a mere Evolutionary Martial Artist. With my family's power, killing Long Ao will be a piece of cake.'

"As for Potian, you can rest assured. He won't cause any trouble for your An Family."

"Thank you, Brother Long."

With things having been spelled out so clearly, if he still hemmed and hawed, he would be unworthy of being a father.

Watching Anson leave, Long Bu muttered to himself, 'A disciple from the mere Ninth Level Long Family thinks he can ride on Potian's coattails? He doesn't know what's good for him.'

Immediately after, Long Bu found Long Potian and gave him some instructions. Without even a chance to inform Long Ao, Long Potian left Red Dragon City. Based on the estimated time, the earliest he would return was the next morning.

However, Long Potian wasn't the least bit worried. Long Ao was staying with the Long Family, after all; how could anything happen to him? Besides, with Long Ao's current strength, he would be fine unless he ran into a Void Martial Artist.

Long Ao was completely oblivious to Long Bu and Anson's shameless plot.

After kicking An Hao where it counts, Long Ao didn't return to the Long Family residence immediately. Instead, he wandered around the marketplace.

He first went to check out the Pill Alliance, then had a meal. It wasn't until dusk that Long Ao finally returned to the Long Family residence.

Arriving at Long Potian's residence, Long Ao didn't start his Cultivation. He sat quietly in a pavilion, watching the sunset, and his thoughts drifted to his family far away in Celestial State Red Fire Town, to Ao Xue of the Ghost King Sect, and to Yuyin, whose whereabouts were unknown.

"What a nice smell."

Just then, Long Ao caught a whiff of a fragrance. It was very pleasant, making his entire body feel relaxed.

Curious, Long Ao stood up and walked toward the source of the fragrance. No one dared to enter Long Potian's residence without permission. Even the servants who delivered meals were specially assigned and came only at fixed times.

As the Long Family's super genius, everything revolved around Long Potian.

Because of this, no one appeared to stop Long Ao as he walked. Before he knew it, he had arrived in front of a rockery. The massive structure was surrounded by water, creating a beautiful, dreamlike scene.

Purple Qi from the East.

Long Ao was very surprised. He hadn't expected the Long Family to also have a source of Purple Qi from the East.

Long Ao was no stranger to Purple Qi from the East. Back on the Ninety-Nine-Heaven Celestial Ladder, he had relied on it to rapidly advance his Cultivation.

Long Ao had no intention of absorbing the Purple Qi from the East. 'No matter what, this is still Long Potian's home. Wouldn't it be wrong of me to absorb the Purple Qi here?'

Long Ao just wanted to see what was inside the rockery that could be emitting Purple Qi from the East.

He stepped into the rockery. The deeper he went, the denser the Purple Qi from the East became.

Inside the rockery was a huge cave. DRIP. DRIP. The sound of water droplets echoed continuously. In the very center of the cave was a large pool, and Long Ao discovered that the Purple Qi from the East was emanating from it.

"This feels so good. In just one more day, I'll be able to absorb all the Purple Qi from the East and my Cultivation will break through to the Transformation Realm."

At that moment, a peerless beauty emerged from the large pool, completely naked. Long Ao was dumbstruck. He had never, ever imagined that someone would be bathing here.

'What is this situation?'

"AH!"

"You pervert, go die!" In a flash, the beautiful woman had thrown on her clothes. Before she even reached him, a terrifying Sword Aura shot forward, scaring Long Ao so much that he turned and fled.

Based on a comparison of their strengths, Long Jing was no match for Long Ao. But no matter how you looked at it, he was the one who had accidentally seen her body. Any woman would have reacted just as furiously in this situation.

"Pervert! Stop right there for this young lady!"

'Only an idiot would stop.' Long Ao didn't even try to explain. He knew perfectly well that no matter what he said right now, she wouldn't believe him. The best thing to do was to find Long Potian and see who this person was and if there was any way to resolve this.

Long Ao was fast, but Long Jing wasn't slow either. One chasing the other, they shot out of the cave. No matter what Long Ao did, Long Jing kept shouting "Pervert! Pervert!" from behind, leaving him thoroughly exasperated.

Adhering to the principle that a gentleman doesn't fight with a lady, Long Ao darted straight back to Long Potian's residence. 'Surely this woman won't follow me there, right?'

Just as Long Ao was thinking the woman wouldn't dare to follow, the cry of "Pervert!" rang out again. Immediately after, an ice-cold Sword Aura tore through the air and shot fiercely toward him.
