Next, Long Ao devoted himself to cultivating the Skill of Stripping Inheritance.
After an unknown period of time.
"Shang Gongyuan, do you know the relationship between me and Long Ao?"
Shaking his head, Shang Gongyuan answered curiously, "I don't know. Please enlighten me."
"I'm from the Long Family."
Long Batian did not continue, but Shang Gongyuan was not a fool. Of course, he understood what he meant. Before Shang Gongyuan could recover from his shock, his soul was devoured.
Long Batian was an Heavenly God while Shang Gongyuan was only an Empty God. The difference between the two was too great.
"Ao 'er, don't tell anyone about me. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
Of course, Long Ao knew what the Old Ancestor meant. He turned and left the cave, returning to his family. Only then did the Long Family know that Long Ao had returned.
Long Ao did not tell anyone about the Old Ancestor. He only chatted with his grandfather, parents, and Aoxue. He did not even mention anything about the Ethereal Palace.
Feng Wuyi and Liu Buming returned to the Ethereal Palace and immediately joined forces with the Level 3 Long Family and Nether Mansion to fight against the Dragon Sect.
But what made the Ethereal Palace furious was that no matter how hard they tried, the two forces would not agree to it.
The reason was simple. This was the grudge between the Ethereal Palace and the Dragon Sect. It had nothing to do with them.
The Nether Mansion and Level 3 Long Family were not fools. Since the Ethereal Palace was so anxious, something must have happened. If the Ethereal Palace was determined to fight against the Dragon Sect, even if they did not join forces, they believed that the Ethereal Palace would do the same.
If that was the case, why should they look for trouble?
The Ethereal Palace knew what the Nether Mansion and Level 3 Long Family were thinking, but there was nothing they could do.
Just by themselves?
If there were no other three forces, the Ethereal Palace would not be afraid of the Dragon Sect. Even if there were ten or a hundred Dragon Sects, the Ethereal Palace would not be afraid.
But the situation was completely different now.
Once the Ethereal Palace took action against the Dragon Sect, not to mention that both sides would suffer losses, the Ethereal Palace's attention would be diverted by the Dragon Sect. By then, they would be in big trouble.
The Ethereal Palace knew very well that the Nether Mansion and the Level 3 Long Ao couldn't wait for the Ethereal Palace and the Dragon Sect to fight to the death. When the time came, they would be able to reap the benefits.
In the end, the Ethereal Palace also chose to endure.
The Ethereal Palace did not make a move, but the Dragon Sect did. The Snake Emperor led an army of corpse slaves and began a crusade against the Nine States. Those who did not submit were directly destroyed. They were vicious and merciless, and the battle ended quickly.
The Nine States were the Sky State, the Earth State, the Sun State, the Moon State, the Sunset State, the Clouds State, the Crimson State, the Illusion State, and the Black Forest State.
With Tianzhou as the center, the Dragon Sect spread out. Their first target was Yunzhou. No matter what, the number one sect in Yunzhou, the so-called Yunzhou Sect, had been destroyed by the Dragon Sect. Compared to the other seven states, Yunzhou was much easier to deal with.
Long Ao gave all the power to the Snake Emperor. The Snake Emperor seemed to want to prove to others, especially the Ethereal Palace that had abandoned him. He wanted to let the Ethereal Palace know that their decision back then was wrong.
As for the Snake Emperor's intention, how could Long Ao not know?
It was also because of this that he gave the power to the Snake Emperor alone. He wanted to stimulate the Snake Emperor's fighting spirit and speed up the pace of conquering the Nine States.
There were countless forces in the Nine States. It was not an easy task to conquer them one by one. The Snake Emperor also recognized this point, so he made an example of them.
One had to admit that the method of making an example of them was very effective. As long as the Snake Emperor led the corpse slave army to destroy a force, the surrounding forces would definitely be frightened. In addition to the Snake Emperor's coercion, the Clouds State and the Crimson State were conquered in just a month.
When the news reached the Dragon Sect, everyone in the Dragon Sect was extremely excited. However, at this time, the Ethereal Palace's forces suddenly intervened. They did not directly clash with the Snake Emperor and occupied the other states.
Long Ao was already prepared for the Ethereal Palace's sudden intervention. This was because Feng Wuyi and Liu Buming did not succeed in killing him this time. He believed that the Ethereal Palace would definitely not let it go. At the very least, they would have to regain their face. Otherwise, where would the Ethereal Palace's face go?
According to the Snake Emperor, since the Ethereal Palace dared to intervene in this matter, they would definitely not let it go. Not to mention the problem of face, once the Ethereal Palace occupied a few states, it would be extremely difficult for the Dragon Sect to take them back in the future.
However, at this time, Long Ao urgently called the Snake Emperor back to the sect, which made the Snake Emperor very unhappy. However, no matter what, the Master of the Dragon Sect was Long Ao and not him. No matter how great his power was, it could not be greater than Long Ao's.
It was because of this that the Snake Emperor had no choice but to bring the corpse slave army back to the sect.
The Snake Emperor, who had just returned to the sect, had already received the news that the Master had withdrawn from the Cloud State and the Crimson State.
The Snake Emperor was furious. He could not understand why the Master would withdraw his forces from the Cloud State and the Crimson State. He was not willing to give away the empire that he had fought so hard for just like that.
Dragon Sect, main hall.
"Master, I have something to ask you. Why did you withdraw your forces from the Cloud State and the Crimson State?"
The Snake Emperor's attitude was extremely bad, which made the surrounding people furious. Ouyang Fei said angrily, "Snake Emperor, don't go too far. You are only an elder of the sect, not the Master of the sect. The Master does not need to go through you for anything."
The Snake Emperor also knew that his attitude just now was a little too much. No matter what, Long Ao was still the Master. There was a huge difference in status between the two. Just as Ouyang Fei said, the Master did not need to go through him for any decision.
However, the Snake Emperor was not willing to give away the empire that he had fought so hard for just like that. He believed that no matter who it was, they would not be able to accept this fact, let alone him.
Long Ao smiled, waved his hand and said, "Elder Snake, please take a seat."
Taking a deep breath, the Snake Emperor bowed respectfully and said, "I was reckless just now. Master, I really don't understand why the Cloud State and the Crimson State that we have fought so hard for have to be withdrawn."
Long Ao stopped Ouyang Fei, who was about to speak again, and said with a smile, "The reason is very simple. I don't want to go head-to-head with the Ethereal Palace."
The reason why Long Ao was not angry was that he knew very well that the Snake Emperor was doing this for the good of the sect. Otherwise, he would have already lost his temper with the Snake Emperor's attitude just now.
As the Master of a sect, he must do what he should do and resolutely not do what he should not do. Only in this way could he make everyone in the sect obey him.
It could be said that Long Ao was the soul of the Dragon Sect. Usually, they could not feel it. Once something happened to Long Ao, the Dragon Sect would not be able to hold on.
"Elder Snake, I don't need to say more about the strength of the Ethereal Palace. I believe that you know it ten thousand times better than all of us. I want to ask, if we go head-to-head, even if we have the corpse slave army, can we go against the Ethereal Palace?"
