Moon Gazing Pagoda.
Moon Gazing Pagoda, Thunder City's most famous scenic spot. Every year, many people would come to see the Moon Gazing Pagoda.
Long Ao arrived at the Moon Gazing Pagoda and looked at the nine-storey pagoda. Even now, Long Ao still couldn't figure out who would invite him here.
Was it really the Third Prince Zhao Hao?
Long Ao had been thinking about this question the whole time as he walked. He realized that this was almost an impossible thing.
If it really was the Third Prince Zhao Hao, why would he look for a little girl?
Nine-storey Moon Gazing Pagoda.
Since he was already here, Long Ao didn't continue. He finally took a step forward, one floor after another. After a few minutes, he finally arrived at the top of the Moon Gazing Pagoda.
At this moment, Long Ao finally realized that something was wrong. As Thunder City's most famous scenic spot, the Moon Gazing Pagoda could be said to be filled with a sea of people, even a little crowded.
But now?
The entire Moon Gazing Pagoda, from the first to the ninth floor, was empty. In the entire Thunder City, there were only two people who could do this. One was the Thunder Imperial Family's Emperor, Zhao Mang, and the other was the Thunder National Guardian Hall's Hall Master, Gu Bai.
"Since you asked me to come here, why don't you show yourself?"
No one answered.
"If you still don't show yourself, then I'll leave first." Long Ao turned around and prepared to leave. This move of retreating in order to advance was very effective.
With a pffft sound, Aoxue slowly walked out with her hand covering her mouth.
Seeing Aoxue, Long Ao was stunned at first, then he smiled. Seeing Aoxue at this time, it was indeed a wonderful thing to send charcoal in snowy weather. What's more, Aoxue was the woman who took his first time. Just this point alone, Aoxue, this woman, he would never forget for the rest of his life.
"Long Ao, you just saw me. Are you going to leave?"
"How would I know it was you?"
Coming to Aoxue's side, Long Ao asked curiously, "Aoxue, how did you do it?"
Aoxue certainly understood the meaning of Long Ao's words. He smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry. Although the Thunder Empire has the support of the Sound of Thunder Sect, they have to give face to the Ghost King Sect. I'm only using the Moon Gazing Pagoda for a day. The Thunder Imperial Family won't refuse."
This was power, this was a foundation.
Long Ao knew very well that if it was just Aoxue alone, it would be impossible to achieve this. All of this was because of the Ghost King Sect behind Aoxue.
Long Ao still wanted to say something, but Aoxue hushed him. After that, neither of them continued to speak. They stood quietly on the ninth floor of the Moon Gazing Tower, looking at the setting sun in the distance.
The sun was setting in the west, leaving behind a red glow on the horizon. The glow of the sunset sprinkled on the calm ground, causing the ground to shine with a brilliant radiance.
A gentle breeze blew across the country, causing layers of ripples to appear on the ground. Each ripple was jumping, as if there were countless pairs of golden eyes blinking. It was very beautiful!
Dusk finally left, and darkness gradually descended.
Aoxue stretched and said with a sigh, "The sunset is the most beautiful. Long Ao, I heard that you're going to participate in the war between the two countries?"
Long Ao didn't hide anything from Aoxue. He nodded and said, "Yes."
"Listen to me, immediately withdraw from the war between the two countries. This matter won't benefit you at all."
Looking at Aoxue's serious face, Long Ao was very curious. He asked in confusion, "Aoxue, why?"
"Long Ao, you don't know. The Fire Empire and the Thunder Empire both have sects behind them. The war between the two countries is actually a battle between the Fire Sect and the Thunder Sect. If you lose, your life will be in danger. If you win, not only will you offend the Fire Empire, you will also offend the Fire Sect. Why do you want to do something that will put you in an awkward situation?"
So that's how it is.
Thinking about Aoxue's words, Long Ao felt that this matter was indeed very troublesome. After all, the war between the Fire Empire and the Thunder Empire was related to the reputation of the two sects. Whether he won or lost, it would be a troublesome matter.
Before this, Long Ao indeed hadn't thought about these problems. If he knew that this matter would be so troublesome, he wouldn't have agreed no matter what.
However, Long Ao was very clear that since he had already agreed, he had to see it through to the end. A person must have integrity.
It was because of this that Long Ao said, "Aoxue, I've already made up my mind. No matter what, I will participate in the war between the two countries in ten days."
Aoxue understood Long Ao's character very well. Although she was a bit worried, she said, "Long Ao, you must remember, don't be reckless. Don't stick your head out. Do your best to hide yourself. Understand?"
Long Ao naturally knew that Aoxue was doing this for his own good. He nodded and promised, "Don't worry, I will keep my life."
Just like this, Aoxue and Long Ao left the Moon Gazing Tower. In the next minute, the originally empty Moon Gazing Tower was once again filled with a sea of people. Eighty percent of the people were cursing, but they didn't dare to say anything. After all, the one who sealed the Moon Gazing Tower was the Thunder Imperial Family.
Long Ao was very surprised by Aoxue's sudden appearance this time, but more than that, he felt warm.
Returning to the inn.
Long Ao didn't continue to wander around. Instead, he quietly stayed in the inn and cultivated. In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
The third day, dusk.
Long Fu had successfully refined 100 Rising Dragon Pills and 10,000 Years Old Blood Lingzhi Mushrooms. They turned into a powerful force that continuously entered Long Ao and Long Qiang's bodies.
The crazy influx of power made Long Ao and Long Qiang not dare to be careless. Whether it was Long Ao or Long Qiang, they knew very well that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the two of them.
Long Ao and Long Qiang both had the Desolate Saint Body. The amount of power they needed was definitely a terrifying number. However, the power refined from 100 Rising Dragon Pills and 10,000 Years Old Blood Lingzhi Mushrooms was a very large existence. It was enough for Long Ao and Long Qiang to absorb.
However, Long Ao and Long Qiang weren't fools. Of course, they knew that it was impossible for them to absorb all of it. If that was the case, not only would it not benefit them, but it would also be harmful. It was precisely because of this that Long Ao and Long Qiang only absorbed one-third of it. They were both cultivating and preparing for a breakthrough.
In just five days, Long Ao and Long Qiang's cultivation had both broken through to the peak of the Fusion Realm. They were only one step away from officially breaking through to the Consolidation Realm. However, time didn't allow for it. After all, the next day was the battle between the two countries. Today, the emissaries of the Fire Empire would enter Thunder City.
On the ninth day, there was only one day left before the battle between the two countries.
As the emissary of the Thunder Empire, Long Ao was summoned into the palace by the Thunder Imperial Family. In the main hall, Zhao Mang sat on the dragon throne while Gu Bai sat beside him. Below them, besides the princes, were the twenty participants of the battle between the two countries. Long Ao stood at the back. Looking at the nineteen people in front of him, he had a rough understanding of them.
Of the nineteen people, ten were from the Thunder Imperial Family. The remaining nine were from the three major families. Including himself, there were twenty people in total.
