He was very surprised.
Long Ao never thought that Gu Bai would say that.
But could he really agree?
The answer was obviously no.
With an apologetic expression, Long Ao spoke the truth, "I believe the Hall Leader's words. But I'm still very sorry, I can't join the Thunder Nation Guardian Hall."
Long Ao thought that Gu Bai would be angry, but he didn't expect that Gu Bai wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "I understand."
Zhao Mang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Long Ao, we know about your situation, so we won't force you. As for what Hao 'er did to you before, I've already stopped him."
Long Ao didn't say anything because he didn't like Zhao Hao very much.
But seeing Zhao Hao's old man like this, Long Ao didn't continue to argue. Not to mention, with his current strength, he couldn't fight against the entire Thunder Nation. Not to mention, the Thunder Nation had the Thunder Sect's support.
"Your Majesty, you called me here this time, is there something you need?"
Long Ao wasn't a fool. Of course, he could hear the hidden meaning in Zhao Mang's words. It couldn't be just for this matter.
As expected.
Zhao Mang and Gu Bai looked at each other. Zhao Mang said, "Long Ao, you should have heard of the Fire Nation, right?"
Long Ao nodded. Of course, he wasn't unfamiliar with the Fire Nation. As one of the two great empires in Tianzhou, the Fire Nation and the Thunder Nation were absolute overlords of Tianzhou. The two empires jointly controlled the entire Tianzhou.
Long Ao was curious. He didn't know why Zhao Mang suddenly mentioned the Fire Nation to him.
"Long Ao, I'll get straight to the point. Within Tianzhou, there are only two great empires that can dominate, the Fire Nation and the Thunder Nation. Every few years, the two empires will hold a war for supremacy. During the war, the winner can obtain the treasures of both empires."
War for supremacy?
Long Ao still didn't understand. What did the war between the Fire Nation and the Thunder Nation have to do with him?
"Every War of Hegemony is actually a battle between the two empires to gain face. In the last three War of Hegemony, our Thunder Empire has already lost three times in a row. Thus, in this War of Hegemony, we can only win, not lose.
"Your Majesty, does this have anything to do with me?"
"Both empires will send out twenty Xiantian realm martial artists to participate in every War of Supremacy. Therefore, I hope that you can represent the Thunder Empire in this War of Supremacy."
Here comes the main topic.
Long Ao also hadn't expected that Zhao Mang would allow him to represent the Thunder Empire in the Struggle for Supremacy.
Before Long Ao could speak, Zhao Mang said, "Long Ao, as long as you can represent the Thunder Empire in the War of Hegemony, you can make two requests."
"Your Majesty, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"There are many experts in the Thunder Empire. Why choose me?"
Long Ao was very puzzled by this. The Thunderclap Empire was filled with experts and even had the support of the Thunderclap Sect. Since that was the case, why would Zhao Mang come looking for him? After all, he wasn't invincible.
Chuckling, Zhao Mang said, "Long Ao, I've already investigated your potential and strength. Only Xiantian martial artists are allowed to participate in the Struggle for Hegemony between the two countries. And among Xiantian martial artists, your strength should be able to help the Thunder Empire."
"So that's how it is."
When all was said and done, the twenty people each country could send out could only be Xiantian martial artists. As for transformation realm martial artists, they couldn't participate.
"Long Ao, what do you think?"
Long Ao smiled helplessly in his heart. He was very clear that since Zhao Mang had already come looking for him, it seemed he was determined to win. If he refused, would that work?
Helpless, Long Ao nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I can agree. I have two conditions. The first condition is that the Thunder Empire must fully support the development of Scarlet Flame Town, but Scarlet Flame Town must still exist independently."
"No problem. Within three years, Scarlet Flame Town will surpass Starcloud City." Zhao Mang didn't even think about it and directly agreed. This matter was simply a drop in the bucket for Thunder Empire.
"The second condition is that the Thunder Empire will give me a hundred Rising Dragon Pills. I want them now."
A hundred Rising Dragon Pills was an exorbitant demand. The value of a hundred Rising Dragon Pills was simply too great. But Long Ao was very clear in his heart that a hundred Rising Dragon Pills might be impossible for him, but to the Thunder Empire, it was nothing.
Zhao Mang thought for a moment and asked, "Long Ao, I'll ask you this. What do you need so many Rising Dragon Pills for?"
"To increase my strength."
Gu Bai, who was at the side, suddenly said, "Long Ao, I want to remind you that if you take too many Tenglong Dan, not only will it not have any benefits, it will also hinder your cultivation speed. Three, three Tenglong Dan is enough, and it is also the most suitable for you."
Long Ao naturally knew that Gu Bai had good intentions. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Hall Master, I know what to do."
"Good, since that's the case, a hundred Rising Dragon Pills isn't a problem. You'll officially set off in ten days, so you have ten days to properly cultivate."
Since things had already reached this point, Long Ao didn't continue to stay. He took the hundred Rising Dragon Pills and turned to leave.
"Brother Gu, Long Ao is only in the Fusion Realm. Is he really qualified to represent the Thunder Empire in the Struggle for Supremacy?"
Nodding his head, Gu Bai said, "This child's talent and potential are top-notch. Moreover, the person that the Ghost King has taken a fancy to should have some outstanding aspects. Your Majesty, this child will represent the Thunder Empire in the war between the two countries. Perhaps he can really turn the tables for us."
Zhao Mang still seemed a little uneasy, but since Gu Bai had already said so, he couldn't say anything more.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have confidence in this child. It's just that the Third Prince …"
"Hmph," Zhao Mang waved his hand, seemingly disliking this son of his very much. He said angrily, "Useless thing. If it wasn't for the Thunder Sect, I would have crippled this thing long ago. Our Imperial Family's face is completely lost."
"Your Majesty, you still can't let go of that matter."
"How can I let go? That matter is the shame of my life. Sooner or later, I will definitely get it back. "
Looking at His Majesty beside him, Gu Bai sighed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, with the strength and foundation of the Thunder Sect, it's almost impossible for us to break away from them."
Zhao Mang waved his hand and his expression returned to normal. He suddenly smiled and said, "Of course I know that with our current strength, it's impossible for us to break away from the Thunder Sect. But our opportunity is coming. As long as the Old Ancestor comes out of seclusion, we might be able to break away."
Old Ancestor?
At first, Gu Bai was overjoyed. Then, his expression turned serious again. Even if the Old Ancestor comes out of seclusion, can the Thunder Empire really break away from the Thunder Sect?
