Kuang Ao did not make a decision immediately.
After a moment of silence, Kuang Ao raised his head and asked, "If you can create the Spirit Recovery Pill, how about giving me half of it?"
Kuang Ao's request was a little overboard. After all, creating a Spirit Recovery Pill was no easy task, let alone half of it.
If it were any other pill refiner, they would have thrown a tantrum and stormed off. But Long Ao was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "No problem."
Kuang Ao was even more surprised now. He had not expected Lin Fan to agree so quickly. After all, he knew what a Spirit Recovery Pill meant.
Even though Kuang Ao was arrogant, he was still a true martial artist. Nodding his head, he said, "Since that's the case, I'll give you the Purple-Winged Blood Gold Lion's corpse and the Beast Core. You're my friend now."
Extending his only right hand, Kuang Ao's face was filled with sincerity. Naturally, Long Ao would not reject him. Extending his left hand as well, the both of them shook hands.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Even dark clouds started to gather.
Long Ao had just collected the beast core and was preparing to deal with the corpse when suddenly, a terrifying aura pressure came from all around. Even if the two of them were One-Line-Sky martial artists, they were instantly suppressed by this aura and were unable to move. Before the two of them could react, a power of thunder and lightning as thick as an arm had already ruthlessly struck over.
"Another Purple-Winged Blood Gold Lion?"
Hearing Kuang Ao's words, Long Ao's heart skipped a beat. Both of them knew each other, and could see the shock in each other's eyes. Not daring to be careless, both of them joined forces to defend against the aura.
'Buzz, buzz, buzz …!'
An ear-piercing sound rang out. Following that, a Purple-Winged Blood Gold Lion that was six to seven meters tall strode towards them. In the blink of an eye, it had arrived.
"Purple-Winged Blood Gold Lion King."
Purple-Winged Blood Gold Lion King?
Although Long Ao didn't know what the Purple-winged Blood Gold Lion King was, he could clearly feel the power of the spiritual beast in front of him.
Too strong! Even though Long Ao was confident in his own strength, he did not have the confidence to fight back against this Purple-Winged Blood Gold Lion King. This was the result of the difference in strength.
"Hahaha! Purple-winged Blood Gold Lion King, you've finally come out!"
Just as Domineering Arrogance and Long Ao were at a loss of what to do, twenty to thirty figures appeared from all directions and surrounded the Purple-winged Blood Gold Lion King.
"Brother Long, let's go."
Seeing the sudden appearance of Ouyang Fei, Long Ao was completely dumbfounded. What was going on?
Why would Ouyang Fei suddenly appear here?
Could it be a coincidence?
For some reason, Long Ao felt that he had fallen into a trap.
No matter how many questions he had, Long Ao knew that in this situation, it was best to leave. Just like that, Long Ao and Domineering left with Ouyang Fei. As for what would happen next, they had no idea.
Outside Nebula Forest.
"Big Brother Ouyang, I hope you can answer me honestly. What is going on with the Imperial Family's Princess Zi Xia's groom search?"
"Hmph, snakes and rats alike."
As if he knew Domineering Arrogance's personality and temper, Ouyang Fei didn't care. He shook his head helplessly and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Long would come to kill the Purple-winged Blood Gold Lion King. If you had told me in advance, I would have helped you."
Hearing Ouyang Fei's words, Long Ao was speechless. However, he didn't say anything. He just wanted to know what the Imperial Family's intentions were.
"This is supposed to be a secret, but since you and I are friends, I'll make an exception and tell you. However, this must not be spread out. Otherwise, Nebula Kingdom will fall into chaos."
Nebula Kingdom will fall into chaos?
Even Domineering Arrogance was curious. What was going on that would cause such a serious consequence?
"Brother Long, I believe you know that Nebula Kingdom is only a vassal state of the Thunder Empire. If other families rise up, they can replace the Imperial Family at any time."
Ouyang Fei clenched his fists and said coldly, "Nothing can happen to the Imperial Family. Because of this, every ten years, the Imperial Family will join forces with other families to weaken the geniuses of other cities in Nebula Kingdom. This is to ensure that the Imperial Family's position is stabilized."
In an instant, Long Ao and Domineering Arrogance understood the Imperial Family's intentions. They had to admit that the Imperial Family was ruthless.
"Big Brother Ouyang, the Imperial Family is killing geniuses like this. Don't they want to rise up? Aren't they afraid of the other families in Nebula Kingdom? "
"Of course they are afraid, but they can't do anything about it. However, the other families don't dare to rebel easily. As for not wanting to rise up, that's a lie. However, between rising up and protecting the Imperial Family, we choose the latter."
Reality, this was the reality.
As the ruler of Nebula Kingdom, the Imperial Family could kill geniuses at will. Countless families were kept in the dark. If it weren't for their strength, they would have been sacrificed as well.
"Big Brother Ouyang, why are you telling me this?"
"Because I know that a small Nebula Kingdom is not what you want. Brother Long, I only hope that when you become strong in the future, you can help the Imperial Family. I will be eternally grateful."
In the end, Ouyang Fei was still interested in Long Ao's talent and potential. Otherwise, he wouldn't have cared about Long Ao's life.
At this moment, Long Ao finally understood how terrifying this world was. The slightest carelessness could lead to eternal damnation. Because of this, he didn't have a good impression of the Imperial Family's Crown Prince in front of him.
"Brother Long, we've been paying attention to the Purple-winged Golden Lion King for a long time. However, with so many experts, we couldn't lure it out."
Long Ao waved his hand, stopping Ouyang Fei from continuing. He already knew everything. In the end, Princess Zixia's groom selection was just a cover. They were just sacrificial lambs. They deserved to die.
"Big Brother Ouyang, I'm a little tired. I'll return to Nebula City first. If I have time, I'll come find you."
"Alright. Rest well."
Long Ao didn't want to stay any longer. The two of them left quickly. Ouyang Fei shook his head helplessly and said to himself, "Being in the Imperial Family, I have no choice. I hope you don't disappoint me. Otherwise, you'll die."
On the road.
"Long Ao, this world is a man-eat-man world. It's full of schemes. If you don't scheme against others, others will scheme against you. If you don't kill others, others will kill you. Therefore, if you want to live a better life in this world, there is only one way, and that is to become strong. Remember, don't trust anyone easily. The only thing you can trust is your fist."
The only thing you can trust is your fist?
Nodding, Long Ao said firmly, "You're right. Only with strength can you have everything. Being kind to your enemy is being cruel to yourself."
