For the sake of his mother, Long Ao nodded and agreed, "No problem. As long as I, Long Ao, am here, the Mu Clan will be here."
Hearing this, Mu He heaved a sigh of relief.
Although the Mu Clan was one of the three major clans in Thundercloud City, it was now in a crisis. Since the death of the head of the clan, the Mu Clan had been supported by Mu Wanfeng. However, Mu Wanfeng was still a woman.
The other clans tolerated the Mu Clan mainly because they were afraid of the Mu Clan's power. However, after so many years, the Mu Clan's power was slowly being depleted. How many more years could the Mu Clan last?
Mu Clan, main hall.
Mu Wanfeng and her two sons were there. When they saw Long Ao enter, their attitudes were completely different. This was the difference brought by status and strength. The three knew, but Long Ao knew even better.
"Ao 'er, come and sit."
"Grandma, are you feeling well?" To be honest, Long Ao was a little unfamiliar with this grandma. Since he could remember, this was the second time he had seen her.
"Very well. I heard that you are now the Imperial Protector of Starcloud Kingdom?"
No matter how unhappy he was, Long Ao still nodded and said, "That's right. What can I do for you, Grandma?"
"Ao 'er, the Mu Clan let you down before. However, we are still a family. Grandma has something to ask of you."
"Grandma, you are treating me like an outsider. No matter what it is, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."
He had already guessed what his grandmother was talking about, but Long Ao was very clear in his heart that no matter what, he had to agree. It was still the same sentence. Even if you don't look at the monk's face, you have to look at the Buddha's face.
"Ao 'er, your identity is completely different now. As the Imperial Protector of Starcloud Kingdom, you can change our fate anytime you want."
Mu Wanfeng's words were not exaggerated at all. Every Imperial Protector of Starcloud Kingdom was a high and mighty existence. Any one of them could easily destroy Thundercloud City and a clan.
Mu Wanfeng was clear about the Mu Clan's current situation. As long as her grandson helped, the Mu Clan would have a chance to develop. As for the future, that was a matter for the future.
"Grandma, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Alright, since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush. Ao 'er, I hope that you can take over the position of Patriarch of the Mu Clan."
"Ah?"
Long Ao was very surprised because he had never thought that the matter that his grandma was talking about would be this matter. She wanted him to inherit the position of the head of the Mu family? What a joke.
"Ao 'er, listen to me."
"Grandma, listen to me first." Long Ao had already decided that no matter what happened, no matter who came, he would not agree to become the head of the Mu family.
"Grandma, my mother and I are both from the Mu Clan. No matter what happens, this fact will never change. So as long as I'm here, the Mu Clan will be fine. Grandma, is it okay for me to say this?"
Looking deeply at her grandson, Mu Wanfeng waved her hand helplessly and said, "Since you are unwilling, I will not force you. Come with me."
With that, Mu Wanfeng took Long Ao's hand and left the hall.
In a secret chamber.
"Grandma, what's this?"
Looking at the yellow book that his grandma handed to him, Long Ao was very curious.
"Ao 'er, the Martial Technique recorded in this yellow book was accidentally obtained by the ancestor of the Mu Clan countless years ago. Although this Martial Technique is very powerful, it can't be cultivated. Ao' er, you are alone outside and will inevitably encounter dangerous places. Grandma is reminding you now, unless it is a moment of life and death, you must not use this Martial Technique. Do you understand?"
"Grandma, of course I understand. I'm just curious, why can't I cultivate this Martial Technique?"
"Ao 'er, you may not know, but this Martial Technique can instantly increase a person's strength, but it comes at a great price. Because of this, the ancestor of the Mu Clan has decreed that the disciples of the Mu Clan are not allowed to cultivate this Martial Technique."
Increase a person's strength in an instant?
Hearing this, Long Ao seemed a little surprised. He immediately opened the yellow book. On the first page, there were four ancient words: Nine Needles to God.
Nine Needles to God?
After roughly reading the so-called Nine Needles to God, Long Ao was pleasantly surprised and shocked. Because the Nine Needles to God recorded in the yellow book roughly meant that with the power of the nine needles, one could seal the 108 Aperture acupoints in the body, as well as the blood vessels throughout the body, stimulating unlimited physical strength and instantly increasing one's strength.
Although the Nine Needles to God could increase one's strength in an instant, the only drawback was that once the Nine Needles to God was used, the backlash would be so strong that one might even lose one's life. Because of this, the ancestor of the Mu Clan forbade the younger generation to cultivate the Nine Needles to God. Otherwise, why would such a powerful Martial Technique be sealed by the Mu Clan?
At this time, Mu Wanfeng took out a small box from a secret compartment. Opening the box, there were nine blue needles, each as thick as a finger, inside.
"Ao 'er, these are the nine Needles of God refined by the ancestor of the Mu Clan. Again, don't use the Nine Needles to God unless you have no other choice."
After taking the nine needles, Long Ao put them away and said, "Grandma, don't worry. I won't use the needles casually."
"Ao 'er, I really didn't expect that the Long Clan would have such a genius like you. But I still want to remind you not to get too close to Liu Mu, especially his daughter, Liu Ji."
Liu Mu? Liu Ji?
Long Ao didn't have a good impression of Liu Ji, but he had a good impression of Liu Mu. But he wasn't a fool. Since his grandma said so, there must be something fishy about this matter.
"Grandma, what's wrong with Liu Mu and Liu Ji?"
"Ao 'er, you don't know. Liu Mu and Liu Ji are naturally sinister and cunning. Although Liu Mu treats you well on the surface, it's very likely that he'll do something to you behind your back. So, you have to be careful at all times, understand?"
Nodding his head, Long Ao expressed that he understood and said, "Grandma, I know. I'll say it again. As long as I, Long Ao, am here, the Mu Clan will be fine."
Mu Wanfeng seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. She said helplessly, "I'm old. I don't think I can live for long. I just don't want the Mu Clan to be destroyed in my hands. Well, since you're here, stay a few more days and keep me company."
Long Ao originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw his grandma's aged face, he couldn't bear to do so. He could only agree helplessly.
In the Mu Clan, Long Ao didn't waste any time. He wholeheartedly immersed himself in practicing the Nine Needles of God. He knew that such a powerful martial technique might save him in the future. The Nine Needles of God instantly increased his strength.
