War God Long Ao

Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Kill Without Mercy

The Long Family.

「The Forbidden Land of the rear mountain.」

Aside from Long Ao, who could come and go as he pleased, no one else was allowed to set foot in this place—not even Long Haoshi and the other elders.

This Forbidden Land was the Fire Qilin’s territory.

"Brother Qilin, how are your injuries?"

"Don’t even ask. Because I couldn’t recover in time, my injuries are in a bad state—neither healing nor worsening. But luckily, I’ve managed to forcefully suppress them. It will affect my strength, but it probably won’t be a major issue."

Not a major issue. Hearing this, Long Ao breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Brother Qilin, I can’t find a Great Emperor’s soul for you in a short amount of time. But I can promise you that the moment I get one, I’ll bring it to you immediately."

Long Ao was no fool. He knew very well that the stronger the Fire Qilin became, the more advantageous it would be for him and his family.

After all, with a Great Emperor Level Fire Qilin protecting the Long Family, who would dare to come and cause trouble?

For this very reason, Long Ao had already decided that no matter what, he had to find a Great Emperor’s soul for the Fire Qilin.

"Take your time."

The Fire Qilin knew even better that with Long Ao’s current strength, finding a Great Emperor Level soul was next to impossible.

But the Fire Qilin had also personally witnessed just how monstrously talented Long Ao was.

If it were anyone else, the Fire Qilin wouldn’t have believed it for a second. But Long Ao had obtained two Great Emperor souls before. What did that even imply?

"Long Ao, let me give you a word of advice. Unless your Cultivation breaks through to the so-called Divine Dao Realm, it’s best you don’t go to the Tomb of the Gods."

Long Ao nodded. He was well aware of the Fire Qilin’s concerns.

The Tomb of the Gods... If Elder Nameless hadn’t saved them back then, he was certain they would have never been able to leave that place.

Divine Dao Martial Artists were the most supreme beings in legend. A Divine Dao Martial Artist truly stood at the Martial Arts Peak, looking down on Heaven and Earth.

With his current strength, forget a Divine Dao Martial Artist—even a Void Saint Martial Artist was an unreachable existence.

Therefore, Long Ao knew his own limits and wouldn’t act recklessly.

"Brother Qilin, don’t worry. I won’t do anything rash. But one day, I will definitely return to the Tomb of the Gods."

Seeing the firm determination on the young man’s face, the Fire Qilin felt a sense of admiration. This kind of personality was, in itself, a great asset for Cultivation.

「After talking with the Fire Qilin for a while, Long Ao went to find his grandfather, Long Haoshi.」

This grandson of his was Long Haoshi’s greatest pride. Although Long Haoshi never said much on the surface, everyone could see the constant pride he radiated.

"Ao’Er, is something the matter?"

Long Ao nodded. He hadn’t wanted to discuss this with his grandfather, but the matter was too important. He had no right to hide it from the family.

"Grandfather, to be honest, while I was in the City of Sin, the Third Level Long Family, the Netherworld Mansion, and the Imperial City dispatched three Semi-Saint Martial Artists and nine World Emperor Martial Artists to attack my City of Sin."

Although Long Haoshi didn’t know the meaning of Semi-Saint or Realm Emperor, the grave tone in his grandson’s voice told him that the Martial Artists sent by the Three Great Forces this time must have been experts among experts.

Because of this, Long Haoshi grew very worried and asked impatiently, "Ao’Er, what happened?"

The moment he asked, Long Haoshi cursed himself inwardly. ’If something had happened, how could his grandson be standing here perfectly fine?’ It seemed Ao’Er had heavily damaged the Four Great Forces again.

Long Ao didn’t hide anything, recounting everything that had happened in detail.

After listening, Long Haoshi couldn’t help but sigh. One could only imagine the immense danger involved.

"Grandfather, the Three Great Forces suffered a major blow this time. I’m sure they won’t let this go. If I’m not mistaken, I can guarantee they will return with a vengeance. When that happens, I won’t be able to protect both the Sect and the family."

Long Haoshi finally understood what his grandson meant. In the end, Ao’Er was afraid something would happen to the Sect and the family.

With a smile, Long Haoshi said confidently, "Ao’Er, whatever you need to do, just go and do it. Leave the family’s affairs to these old bones. I refuse to believe our family will be destroyed."

"Grandfather, I believe that. But when the Three Great Forces attack us this time, it will surely be like a raging storm. So, if the family can’t hold them off, you just need to go to Brother Qilin. I’ve already spoken with him, and he will protect our Long Family."

With the Fire Qilin’s help?

Hearing the name "Fire Qilin," Long Haoshi smiled and said, "Ao’Er, with Elder Qilin helping us, what are you still worried about?"

Long Haoshi knew perfectly well what the Fire Qilin represented. With the family’s strength alone, it would indeed be difficult to resist the Four Great Forces. But with the Fire Qilin’s help, the situation would be completely different.

Long Ao didn’t voice the worries in his heart. There were some things he didn’t know how to say; after all, some burdens he had to bear alone.

"Ao’Er, how do you plan to handle the grudge between you and the Four Great Forces?"

Regarding this question, Long Haoshi had never once had any doubts. He had complete faith in his grandson. As long as his grandson said he could do it, Long Haoshi would not have the slightest bit of distrust.

Regarding the matter with the Four Great Forces, Long Ao didn’t know what to do either.

But to reassure his grandfather, Long Ao said, "Grandfather, you don’t have to worry about the grudge between me and the Four Great Forces. Although I’m not their match yet, I’m confident that no matter how many Martial Artists they send, I’ll make sure none of them ever return."

How domineering.

If anyone else had said that, Long Haoshi would have scoffed. But the one who said it was his own grandson—a super-genius who had repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on the Four Great Forces, the hope and future of the family.

Because of this, Long Haoshi had great confidence in his grandson.

Long Ao only told his grandfather, Long Haoshi, about the Four Great Forces targeting the family. He didn’t tell anyone else, especially not the Long Family disciples who were in closed-door Cultivation.

Long Ao knew that if the Four Great Forces attacked the family, their current strength alone would be completely unable to resist. Their only option would be to ask the Fire Qilin to intervene.

But what if something went wrong?

Long Ao wouldn’t allow for any ’what-ifs’. Therefore, Long Haoshi personally issued an order to lock down the Long Family estate. No one was allowed to enter or leave. Violators would be killed without mercy. The moment this order was given, everyone was so shocked they had no idea what was happening.

’Could something major be happening to the family?’

But no matter how much they wondered, no one dared to ask Long Haoshi, and they certainly didn’t dare to ask Long Ao. They could only obey. In the Long Family, Long Ao was revered like a god, but Long Haoshi was the one with the ultimate authority. Never mind the ordinary disciples—even Long Ao, the pillar of the Long Family and a god-like figure in their eyes, had to be deferential in Long Haoshi’s presence.
