"Big Brother Ouyang, I would like to ask, is there any way to save Yu Yin?"
"Brother Long, the Thousand Year Chilling Ice Bed can save sister-in-law's life for a year. There are only two ways to completely heal her injuries."
As expected.
Hearing that there was a way to save Yu Yin, Long Ao was overjoyed. After an entire day and night, his face finally relaxed.
"Big Brother Ouyang, what are the methods?"
"Brother Long, the first method is to find a super expert to use his own strength to help sister-in-law recover. This method is almost impossible, so we only need to consider the second method, which is the Thousand Year Thunderfruit."
"Thousand Year Thunderfruit?"
"That's right, the Thousand Year Thunderfruit. Legend has it that it is a miraculous fruit nurtured by heaven and earth. No matter how serious the injuries are, as long as you consume the Thousand Year Thunderfruit, you can recover to your original state."
Somewhat excited, Long Ao couldn't wait to ask, "Big Brother Ouyang, where can I find this Thousand Year Thunderfruit?"
"Brother Long, don't be impatient. Last night, I already contacted my father and received accurate information. The Thousand Year Thunderfruit ripens every thousand years. In another month, it will be the time for it to ripen, so it's still early."
Thousand years ripened. There was no need to ask. Long Ao could guess that once the Thousand Year Thunderfruit ripened, many people would try to snatch it. However, for Yu Yin, no matter what happened, he had to snatch it.
"Brother Long, the Thousand Year Thunderfruit can't be found in the Star Cloud Kingdom. It only grows in the Thunder Forest of the Thunder Empire. Every time the Thunderfruit ripens, it will attract countless experts to fight over it."
Without waiting for Ouyang Fei to finish speaking, Long Ao immediately stood up.
His face was resolute and filled with killing intent as he said, "No matter who it is, if they dare to snatch the Thousand Year Thunderfruit from me, I will kill them without mercy."
Ouyang Fei sighed deeply. Of course, he knew about Long Ao's feelings for Yu Yin. He said helplessly, "Brother Long, with your strength alone and the Thunder Empire's National Guard Hall, you won't be able to obtain the Thunderfruit. Therefore, we have to plan for the long term."
Thunder Empire?
In the end, his rationality suppressed his impulse. Long Ao nodded and asked, "Big Brother Ouyang, tell me more about the Thunder Empire's National Guard Hall."
"Alright."
After listening to Ouyang Fei's explanation, Long Ao gained a general understanding of the Thunder Empire. The Martial Heaven Continent was divided into nine prefectures. Within the Tianzhou prefecture, there were two great empires, the Thunder Empire and the Flame Empire. These two empires had countless subordinate kingdoms. The Starcloud Kingdom was one of the subordinate kingdoms of the Thunder Empire.
The Thunder Empire also had their own National Guard Hall. However, their strength and background far surpassed the Star Cloud Kingdom's. Otherwise, the Star Cloud Kingdom's National Guard Hall wouldn't have been so suppressed.
After coughing twice, Tang Lin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Brother Long, in ten days, our National Guard Hall will head to the Thunder Empire. At that time, you will be able to seize the thousand-year Flame Fruit."
"Hall Master, are we going to the Thunder Empire?"
"Yes. Every three years, the Thunder Empire's National Guard Hall will hold a Thunder Battle. Basically, all the affiliated kingdoms will participate. And this year, another Thunder Battle will be held."
Thunder Battle?
Long Ao didn't know why, but he felt that the Thunder Empire's Thunderclap War was somewhat sinister. After all, why would the Thunder Empire suddenly hold a Thunderclap War?
"Brother Long, I have a few private words to say to you."
"Your Highness Crown Prince, Hall Master Tang, we'll take our leave first." Long Haoshi wasn't an idiot. He naturally knew that what Tang Lin was about to say was extremely important. He quickly left with Wang Yidao and the others.
Only three people remained in the hall: Long Ao, Ouyang Fei, and Tang Lin.
"Hall Master, what's the matter?"
"Brother Long, you've made arrangements. Every three years, the Thunder Empire's National Guard Hall will hold a Thunder Battle. In the end, it's all to weaken the National Guard Hall of the affiliated kingdoms and completely eliminate the threat to the Thunder Empire."
So it was like that.
Long Ao finally understood the Thunder Empire's National Guard Hall's intentions. Although the Thunder Empire was a colossus, the affiliated kingdoms also had potential. Once they matured, they would threaten the Thunder Empire's position.
The National Guard Hall was the cornerstone of every kingdom. One had to admit that the Thunder Empire's National Guard Hall's actions were very wise. As long as the National Guard Hall of the affiliated kingdoms was suppressed, the Thunder Empire would be able to sit back and relax. They wouldn't need to worry about the affiliated kingdoms' retaliation.
"Hall Master, there's something I don't understand. Even if the Thunder Empire holds a Thunder Battle every three years, the affiliated kingdoms can't participate. Doesn't that mean the Thunder Empire can't do anything about it?"
"Brother Long, to be honest, the Thunder Empire has a total of 32 affiliated kingdoms. 12 of them are diehard loyal to the Thunder Empire, while the remaining 20 are somewhat disloyal. Because of this, the Thunder Empire has decreed that every time the Thunder Battle is held, the National Guard Hall of the 30 affiliated kingdoms must send at least 10 members to participate. Those who don't participate will immediately suffer the wrath of all the kingdoms and the Thunder Empire."
"Hall Master, I don't believe that every affiliated kingdom has more than 10 members, right?"
"The Thunder Empire isn't a fool. They will send spies to monitor every kingdom. So even if the 32 affiliated kingdoms don't want to participate, they will be forced to."
So that's how it is.
"Hall Master, if you have something to say, just say it." Long Ao wasn't a fool. Of course, he knew that Tang Lin had something to say to him. Otherwise, such a busy person wouldn't have waited here for an entire night.
"Brother Long, you're already a member of the National Guard Hall, so I'll get straight to the point. I'm prepared to let you participate in this Thunder Battle. I only hope that you can do one thing and do your best to protect the lives of these ten people. Otherwise, my Starcloud Kingdom will forever be an affiliated kingdom of the Thunder Empire."
Just as Tang Lin finished speaking, Ouyang Fei suddenly stood up. He respectfully bowed to Long Ao and said, "Please."
Startled, Long Ao immediately helped Ouyang Fei up. He said, "Hall Master, Big Brother Ouyang, I'm sure you know my strength best. When the time comes, the experts of the 32 kingdoms and the Thunder Empire will all gather together. Don't talk about protecting them, whether or not I can come back alive is another matter."
Long Ao really couldn't understand why Tang Lin and Ouyang Fei would trust him so much. In the end, he was only a One-Line-Sky martial artist. If it wasn't for Long Fu's help, he believed that he would have already been devoured by the Nine Needles of God. When the time came, all the experts would gather in the Thunder Empire. With his strength, would he be able to hold his own?
"Brother Long, we've all seen your growth. I hope you can promise me."
