Chapter 2163: The Dragon That Wants to Fly
The current identity of the Long Clan was like a master that wasn’t involved with the world. Thus, talents and geniuses respected them. However, holding such status also meant that they can’t be emperors. Their members can’t even work as officials.
The Long Clan held a transcendent status in the True Spirit Realm. Therefore, nobody dared to provoke them. This identity also served as a line dividing the Long Clan and the sects of the realm. If the Long Clan wants to dominate the realm once more, then they would need to break this line. Dive into Stories, Embrace Enchantment: N♡vεlB¡n.
But how do they break this line? The method was very simple. If they form an alliance and meddle in the matters of the sects, then the line would break naturally. Then people would be reminded that the Long Clan was also one of the forces existing in the realm.
If this happened, then the Long Clan would no longer be the group that everyone gave face to. Once they formed an alliance with a sect, then they would certainly offend another sect. Then the status of the Long Clan would no longer be transcendent.
Zhao Hai believes that the Long Clan doesn’t have plans on dominating the True Spirit Realm right now. This was because the Long Clan had an enemy that was very hard to deal with. This enemy was the Ghost Cultivators.
Ghost Cultivators were an offshoot of the Long Clan. Moreover, the Ghost Cultivators were doing all they could to deal with the Long Clan. If the Long Clan wants to dominate the True Spirit Realm, it would be heard as long as the Ghost Cultivators existed. Therefore, a public alliance with the Tyrant Blade Sect was the last thing that the Long Clan would do.
But no matter what, If the Tyrant Blade Sect forms a partnership with the Long Clan, the clan would defend the sect when necessary.
Zhao Hai also explained the situation of the underground world to the Yin Yang Elders. When the elders left, Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, do we have to endure? Even if you can bear it, I can’t.”
Looking at Laura and the others, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Endure? How is that possible? But we have to wait for an opportunity. Once that opportunity comes, we will retaliate against the Sword Hegemon Sect.”
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and asked, “What opportunity?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Now that the Long Clan sent a team to wreak havoc in the underground world, it would be impossible if the Ghost Cultivators didn’t retaliate. The Ghost Cultivators would definitely take revenge on the major sects of the True Spirit Realm. And that would be our opportunity.”
Laura thought about it and nodded, “What do you plan to do?”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “If the strength of the Ghost Cultivators isn’t enough, I might support their cause. I have a lot of Undead Ghost Cultivators in the Space.”
But Long Tian also gained a new understanding of Zhao Hai’s ability. Not to mention anything else, the timing in which Laura and the others left coincided with the time when Long Xiang made a move on Zhao Hai. When Long Tian thought about it, he concluded that Zhao Hai must have the means to notify Laura and the clothes. No matter what method it was, this proved that Zhao Hai had more strength than he showed. Under everyone’s gaze, Zhao Hai was able to notify Laura and the others to leave. How could Long Xiang ignore such talent?
So, upon hearing that Zhao Hai was back, Long Tian rushed over. There were a lot of people in Zhao Hai’s courtyard. The children were running like crazy and noisily playing in the field. The parents were also with Zhao Hai. They didn’t act like strong cultivators at all, they looked like ordinary people.
Seeing Long Tian arriving, everyone gave him a salute. Long Tian waved his hand and laughed, “Alright, there’s no need to be polite. I heard that Little Hai was back, so I came to take a look. Little Hai, I haven’t been drinking in the past few days. You have to join me to drink a few cups.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “How could I disagree? Rest assured, I will accompany the Elder to drink.”
Long Tian nodded, then he looked at everyone. The others immediately left tactfully. When everyone left, Long Tian turned his head to Zhao Hai and said, “Little Hai, I know what happened in the underground world. What Long Xiang did wasn’t right, don’t be offended.”
Hearing this, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Elder is too polite. I wasn’t offended. I know the pressure Elder Xiang is under. I’m aware that he couldn’t act as he wanted.”
Long Tian couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief when he heard Zhao Hai say this. At the same time, he said, “It’s good that you understand. Although our Long Clan looks great right now, those who treat us seriously aren’t a lot. With the clan’s present status, it’s inconvenient for us to do anything. However, this seems to inform others that the Long Clan is afraid of them. I think it’s time for the Long Clan to show its strength. The Long Clan needs to make people understand that they can’t scheme against us.”
Hearing Long Tian, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but stare for a moment. He didn’t expect the Long Clan’s response to be this intense. Seeing Long Tian’s expression, it seems like they’re planning on retaliating against the Sword Hegemon Sect. This was outside what Zhao Hai expected.
Like Long Tian said, although the Long Clan had a transcendent status, there were few people who treated them with respect. This was because people seem to forget the Long Clan’s strength. Maybe in their eyes, the Long Clan was an outdated group. It’s just that the balance in the realm was quite sensitive that the Long Clan’s status has been elevated.
In the eyes of these people, if they offended the Long Clan and the clan didn’t do anything, then this meant that they could destroy the Long Clan. This caused these people to have little reverence towards the clan. Otherwise, Lei Jian wouldn’t have publicly schemed and used Long Xiang.
The Long Clan might have a special status, but they cared a lot about their aloof status. It can be said that this status has become a shackle of the clan. There were plenty of things that the Long Clan couldn’t do. Unless it was against the clan’s benefits or the juniors of the clan, the Long Clan would endure. However, the clan didn’t know that it was because of this status that people began to neglect them more and more. And it has reached to the point where they openly provoked the dignity of the clan.
Fortunately, the people of the Long Clan weren’t total fools. From what happened to Long Xiang, the clan discovered some issues and became vigilant. In Long Tian’s words, the Long Clan needs to make a move. If a tiger doesn’t move, it will be deemed as a piece of meat by the rats.
Seeing Zhao Hai keeping silent, Long Xiang was confused, “Little Hai, what are you thinking about?”
Zhao Hai hurriedly smiled and said, “I wasn’t thinking of anything. Elder, Lei Jian plotted against the Long Clan because of me. I don’t think there’s a need for the clan to make a move. Now is not the time for conflict. I think the Ghost Cultivators are going to retaliate against us. We still have to deal with those fellows. Otherwise, the True Spirit Realm will be in chaos.”
Long Tian nodded. He waved his hand and said, “Alright, you don’t have to care about this matter. Let’s go and drink. It’s time to stop worrying about things.” Zhao Hai nodded and then walked inside.
