War God Long Ao

Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Desperate Measures

The Dark Forest.

Long Ao’s body shot through the air. The man, the dragon, and the tiger were hunting not only World King Spirit Beasts, but even Realm Emperor Spirit Beasts.

Long Ao, Long Qiang, and Long Ming had all broken through to the Peak of Realm Emperor. When they joined forces, who in the Void Realm could possibly be a match for the man, the dragon, and the tiger, unless a Semi-Saint descended?

A Dragon’s Roar and Tiger’s Howl echoed throughout the entire Dark Forest.

In the past, the Dark Forest was known as the most dangerous place, a place ordinary people wouldn’t dare to enter.

But now...

Three maniacs had appeared out of nowhere, and together, they were virtually invincible. They had thrown the spirit beasts of the Dark Forest into chaos, especially the World King and Realm Emperor Spirit Beasts, which would turn and flee the instant they saw Long Ao’s trio.

They didn’t even have the confidence to fight back.

The man, the dragon, and the tiger were like three descending Gods of Slaughter, continuously reaping the lives of the Dark Forest’s spirit beasts. In just ten short days, the number of spirit beasts that had died at Long Ao’s hands was already nearing one hundred.

What did that mean?

It meant that once he created Corpse Slaves from them, he would have a Corpse Slave Army of nearly one hundred World King and Realm Emperor Spirit Beasts.

The most terrifying thing about the Corpse Slave Army wasn’t their strength, but their Undying Bodies. Every Spirit Beast Corpse Slave had an Undying Body, making it no problem for one to fight a hundred.

Because of this, Long Ao was fully confident that he could use this Corpse Slave Army to trample Piaomiao Palace.

Piaomiao Palace.

Feng Wuyi and Liu Boming stood quietly at the peak of a mountain. Their expressions seemed calm, but their hearts were brimming with killing intent, wishing they could kill Long Ao immediately.

"What do you think?"

"This boy is unfathomable. The one-year agreement is too great a variable. We cannot take the risk. If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, we cannot give him any opportunities."

Feng Wuyi sighed deeply and said with great apprehension, "Long Ao has a Great Emperor Martial Artist backing him, and we’ve already agreed to the one-year pact. If we act rashly, let’s not even mention the Great Emperor—the Sect Leader alone will become a laughingstock to the world."

"I’ve already thought about that. The one-year agreement we made was with Long Ao himself. It didn’t stipulate that the Dragon Sect, the Long Family, or the City of Sin were included."

"That’s a bit of a stretch. If we move against the Dragon Sect or the Long Family, Long Ao might bring that Great Emperor Martial Artist to assassinate our Piaomiao Palace disciples. The consequences would be unimaginable."

At this thought, both of their expressions turned grim to the extreme.

They were both extremely wary of Long Ao. After all, he was like a madman, capable of anything. If Long Ao truly resorted to assassination, how could Piaomiao Palace possibly defend itself?

Even a cornered dog will bite.

Both Feng Wuyi and Liu Boming understood this principle clearly.

That was precisely why they didn’t dare to act rashly. But to just let Long Ao continue developing like this... they didn’t dare to take that gamble. After all, Long Ao’s growth was too fast—so fast it was somewhat unbelievable.

"What in the world should we do?"

"Our only option is to invite the Third Level Long Family, the Netherworld Mansion, and the Imperial City to help us. Only if they are the ones to deal with Long Ao will we avoid gossip. Then, after a year, our situation will also be considerably easier."

"Hmph. Those three would love nothing more than for us and Long Ao to destroy each other so they can reap the rewards. We’ve invited them like that before, and none of the three were willing to act. Their attitude is already crystal clear."

"I refuse to believe the three great forces are a monolith. As long as we offer a sufficient temptation, I guarantee they will make a move."

"Ordinary things won’t move them. We’ve already made the one-year agreement with Long Ao. Given his rate of progress, who knows what level he’ll reach in a year? When we go to war then, we’ll likely destroy each other. At that point, the three great forces can just sit back and reap the rewards. Why would they stick their necks out now?"

Nodding, Liu Boming knew full well what Feng Wuyi was saying. For a moment, neither of them spoke, standing in silence.

"Two Holy Beast Pills. I wonder if the Imperial City and the Third Level Long Family would be willing to act for those. Besides, the Imperial City and the Third Level Long Family already have deep-seated grievances with Long Ao. Solving our problem would also be solving theirs. If nothing unexpected happens, the Imperial City and the Third Level Long Family will definitely make a move."

Throughout all this, Feng Wuyi never mentioned the Netherworld Mansion. He knew very well that the Netherworld Mansion would definitely not act. After all, of the Four Great Forces, the Netherworld Mansion had the least enmity with Long Ao.

As long as the Netherworld Mansion wasn’t run by fools, they certainly wouldn’t interfere in this matter.

For this reason, Feng Wuyi only offered up two Holy Beast Pills. However, Liu Boming was greatly shocked, because he knew very well what Holy Beast Pills represented—and there were two of them.

"It seems this is our only choice."

This time, the two Saints personally went to extend the invitation to the Imperial City and the Third Level Long Family. Under normal circumstances, the two great forces would never have agreed, as they were very wary of Long Ao’s talent.

But Piaomiao Palace’s sincerity was great. First, they gave each of the two forces a Holy Beast Pill. Then they told them that if Long Ao could destroy Piaomiao Palace in a year, he would likewise have the strength to destroy the Imperial City and the Third Level Long Family.

As everyone knew, the strengths of the Four Great Forces—the Third Level Long Family, the Imperial City, Piaomiao Palace, and the Netherworld Mansion—were all very close. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Four Great Forces to remain deadlocked for so many years.

Piaomiao Palace didn’t stop there. They even laid out terms: as long as the Imperial City and the Third Level Long Family acted against Long Ao, then once they entered Kyushu, Piaomiao Palace would help the two forces fight against the Netherworld Mansion. As for which of them—the Imperial City or the Third Level Long Family—would ultimately dominate Kyushu, that would depend on their own strength.

Both the Imperial City and the Third Level Long Family were indeed tempted. After all, this would eliminate two powerful enemies at once, wipe out Long Ao, and completely resolve a hidden danger. As long as they weren’t fools, they knew what choice to make.

In the end, the Imperial City and the Third Level Long Family accepted Piaomiao Palace’s invitation, preparing to join forces to deal with Long Ao.

But at this moment, the Netherworld Mansion suddenly announced it would join as well. The reason was simple: the Netherworld Mansion was no fool. Forget the Beast Pills; they couldn’t afford to lose out on the Tomb of the Gods in Kyushu. After all, with Piaomiao Palace’s help, it would be a trivial matter for the Imperial City and the Third Level Long Family to kick the Netherworld Mansion out of the picture.

For this very reason, the Netherworld Mansion also chose to join the alliance.

They welcomed all comers.

Of course, Piaomiao Palace would not refuse the Netherworld Mansion’s participation. After all, with the Netherworld Mansion added to the mix, their collective strength would increase immensely, which would also improve their chances of dealing with Long Ao. After all, the Four Great Forces had suffered too many losses at Long Ao’s hands, taking repeated blows until Piaomiao Palace had very little confidence left.

And so, the Imperial City, the Third Level Long Family, and the Netherworld Mansion joined forces, preparing to deal with Long Ao together.
