Chapter 569: Chapter 569: It All Comes Down to This

"Sect Leader Long, forgive my bluntness."

Long Bai said with a wry smile, "If Wang Hao is hiding on purpose, it will be impossible for us to find him among the vast seas and countless islands."

Of course, Long Ao understood what Long Bai meant.

The Outer Sea was immense, filled with countless unknown islands.

But Long Ao also knew that Wang Hao was far too dangerous. He had to find him as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Wang Hao awakened his Divine Spirit and attained the Divine Dao, Long Ao would be in serious trouble.

Besides, he had all but annihilated the Wang Family. It was now a life-or-death struggle between him and Wang Hao.

"Patriarch Long, regardless, we must find Wang Hao. I have an idea we can try."

A flicker of joy appeared in their hearts. Long Bai and Long Jian knew that now was the perfect time to kill Wang Hao, as he had not yet truly awakened his Divine Spirit. The consequences would be unimaginable if he were to attain the Divine Dao.

The three of them then began to discuss how they would deal with Wang Hao.

The news of Long Ao killing Zhou Dian and the others sent shockwaves through Yun City. Everyone was talking about it, wondering where this Long Ao had suddenly appeared from.

Everyone had assumed the Sacred Land would move against Long Ao, but it had remained completely inactive.

After Long Ao killed two of the Wang Family’s experts, the family’s status in Yun City plummeted, and they were no longer considered one of the three great families. People were curious to see if the Wang Family could ever recover.

But at that moment, news suddenly came from the Long Family: Long Ao had utterly destroyed the Wang Family. The news instantly spread throughout Yun City and even to the surrounding islands.

’What is the Long Family planning?’

No one understood their intentions. ’Have the Long Family and Long Ao had a falling out?’

That seemed unlikely. After all, word had already spread that Long Ao was a Semi-Saint Martial Artist. Unless the Long Family had gone insane, they would surely cling tightly to a powerful backer like him.

As a Semi-Saint Martial Artist, the strongest in Yun City, Long Ao’s support would allow the Long Family to crush the Ye Family in minutes and become the undisputed hegemon of the city.

After all, Long Ao had even dared to kill a Semi-Saint Martial Artist from the Sacred Land, which proved that he had no regard for the Sacred Land whatsoever.

The Wang Family Estate.

The Wang Family was in a miserable state. With their Patriarch and old ancestor dead and nearly all of their Honored Guest Elders gone, their decline was far more rapid than anyone had imagined.

In the pitch-black night, only the sound of croaking could be heard.

Just then, a Human Shadow shot forward, entering the Wang Family estate in the blink of an eye.

Wang Hao gazed at his desolate home, his expression turning grim. He never imagined Long Ao would be so ruthless as to kill the Wang Family’s two greatest experts, triggering such a rapid decline.

"Long Ao, just you wait! One day, I’ll make you wish you were dead!"

"No need to wait, Wang Hao. I’d like to experience what ’wishing I were dead’ feels like right now."

Hearing the voice behind him, Wang Hao wasn’t surprised in the slightest. It was as if he had expected Long Ao to appear.

"Long Ao, you shouldn’t have destroyed my Wang Family."

"Wang Hao, you need to get one thing straight. My fight was with the Sacred Land. Your Wang Family was the one who interfered in our conflict. I was merely defending myself. Besides, this is already a battle to the death between us. One of us has to die."

"You intend to fight here?"

"Why not? You just said you’d make me wish I were dead. Well then, I’m giving you the chance."

"Hahaha! Long Ao, you will regret this!" With that, Wang Hao turned and sped away. After a few leaps, his figure vanished without a trace.

Long Ao didn’t pursue him. A cold sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth. Just then, a figure emerged from the Darkness—it was Long Heng.

"Master, will Wang Hao really go after the family?"

"One hundred percent. Wang Hao knows he’s no match for me, and my main base isn’t on Cloud Island. That leaves him with only one target: the Long Family. No one in the entire Long Family can stand against him. Therefore, I can guarantee that he will try to slaughter everyone in the Long Family to avenge his own."

Hearing this, Long Heng grew worried. "Master, what should we do now?" he asked.

"I’ve already set up an Array at the Long Family estate. If Wang Hao dares to set foot inside, I’ll make sure he never leaves."

’An Array?’

’Master set up an Array at our home?’

Long Heng had no idea. He was stunned. He never would have imagined that his master was not only an Alchemist but also an Array Master—and a Semi-Saint Martial Artist, to boot.

To achieve mastery in even one of those fields would make a person a peerless genius. To be an expert in all three... that was beyond genius. It made him wonder if his master was even human.

Long Heng didn’t ask, because Long Ao was already leading him as they sped toward the Long Family estate.

Long Heng already knew that Wang Hao was a Reincarnation Martial Artist. If they failed to kill him this time, and he later became a Divine Dao Martial Artist, then not only his master and himself, but their entire family would be doomed.

Everything hinged on this.

The Long Family estate was deathly quiet and so pitch-black you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. Just as Long Ao had predicted, Wang Hao was determined to slaughter the Long Family to get his revenge.

Wang Hao was supremely confident. With his current strength, as long as he didn’t run into a Martial Artist at or above the Saint realm, he could kill anyone with ease.

"Long Ao, you will pay for your ignorance."

Even though he was reincarnated, the Wang Family was still his family. Now that it had been destroyed, Wang Hao was determined to avenge them.

Perhaps too eager for revenge, Wang Hao failed to notice that anything was wrong. Without a second thought, he leaped into the Long Family estate. At that exact moment, the entire compound was suddenly flooded with light, revealing Long Bai and Long Jian, who were watching him with wide grins.

"Wang Hao, it’s so late. What brings you to our Long Family?"

Seeing that he was surrounded, Wang Hao instantly understood what was happening. He maintained an indifferent expression, however, and said, "Long Jian, Long Bai... I never imagined your Long Family had been plotting for so long to destroy my Wang Family and dominate Yun City."

Long Bai and Long Jian had, in fact, thought exactly that, but of course, they would never admit it.

Long Bai sneered. "Enough nonsense, Wang Hao. Since you’re here, you’re not leaving."

"Hahaha! Long Bai, you think too highly of yourself. You think you people are enough to stop me?"

As a Semi-Saint Martial Artist, Wang Hao feared no one here. The entire Long Family didn’t have a single Void Saint Martial Artist among them.
