Chapter 323: Central State Long Clan, Long Ao Jiao (Part 1)

Long Ao Jiao introduced herself.

"Long Ao Jiao?"

The other party’s eyes instantly lit up: "I've heard of you!"

"Oh?"

Long Ao Jiao was surprised: "How did you know?"

"You have quite a reputation," the other party smiled, "After all, the things you did before were not trivial, and even in the Central State, it was quite a stir."

"Of course, if you had a different surname, I wouldn't know, but since you're a Long, naturally, I would pay more attention."

"Not just me, many of the younger generation in the Long family know you."

"Only the younger generation?" Since she knew this, Long Ao Jiao didn’t mind chatting with him and casually probing for information.

"Do you think everyone knows?"

The young man shook his head lightly: "Not quite. Unless you can truly do something that stirs up the heavens, the older generation won't pay you much attention."

"However..."

"There should be a few of the older generation who know, but not many."

"Understood."

Long Ao Jiao nodded slightly: "May I ask your name?"

"Long Five."

The other party grinned: "Don't mention it, once out of a whim, I practiced a secret art within the clan and accidentally broke the patriarch's favorite crystal lamp. This, I was punished to guard the gate for half a year."

Long Ao Jiao: "..."

"Let's not talk about this, bad luck."

Long Five's eyes rolled, he took the initiative to step out of formation, approached Long Ao Jiao, sized her up from head to toe, and then laughed, "I'm very interested in you."

"In what way?"

"Every aspect."

"For example, are you really the illegitimate child of some big figure in our Long family?"

"Or are you interested in sparring with me to see your strength?"

Long Ao Jiao: "..."

"What do you mean by 'private'?"

"..."

Although I'm originally male, I can't say that!"

"So..."

Rebutted by Long Five, he became even more excited: "Really?!"

Just by count isn you indirectly admitted it,?

Long Ao Jiao touched her forehead, time to time, "Why did you say anything."

"Ah? Oh! I understand nothing."

"

."

"'s nothing."

I said, I understand!" Long Five instantly squeezed his eyes and winked: "Rest assured, I understand well. Although I'm a guest, I don’t know much about,,, but this little matter, I can still count."

"Moreover, my mouth is very tight, I've always been taciturn."

"Do you see me barely speak?"

Long Ao jiao: "..."

You don’t say a peep to me!

I've never met anyone more talkative than you!

Before Long Ao Jiao could speak, Long Five said again: "Right, come, let’s spar."

"I’m really interested in you and also want to know what that big figure left for you."

Long Ao jiao: "..."

"Right here?"

She was a bit dazed.

Although her goal in coming to the Long family was to spar with someone and then use the Battle Word Secret to evolve the Long family’s secret art, then fight the Feather Race to start a war between the clans...

However, there was a problem.

Why was it so smooth?

It’s just...

The food was brought to my mouth!

It can’t be poisoned, right?

"Right here... cough, here isn’t quite suitable, it’s after all the family’s face, if I break it, I’ll have to guard the gate, what, we go up to the sky?"

"You won't guard the gate?"

"Oh, guarding the gate, it’s no big deal, at most, I’ll guard it for a few days, at worst, a few months, compared to two lesser evils, you understand, right?"

"You..."

Long Ao Jiao sighed, "I did say much, did I?"

"They all say so." Long Five smirked.

"You can spar with me, but if you lose, you have to agree to one condition."

"What condition?"

"Talk after the fight."

"Got it!"

In the void, after Long Five shouted his heart, he instantly drew his sword!

The sword Technique swept across three thousand miles, a single slash split the sky and earth, causing boundless dark clouds to roll in, as if ‘Heaven’ were wielding a furious slash!

"Interesting."

This power is already not weaker than Xiao Ling’er! At least, not weaker than the previous Xiao Ling’er! Is this just Long Five? The Central State’s ancient, unbreakable clan... so powerful?

"Here we go!"

She was excited, Long Ao Jiao was confident, even arrogant, facing such a prodigy, she wanted to have a satisfying battle, disregarding the outcome!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sky above instantly turned into a kaleidoscope of five light colors.

Infinite divine light struck!

Heaven's Wrath Light descended.

The Tyrant Heaven fist and tyrant Heaven Finger took turns.

"Strong!"

"Very good, in the southwest region, recognize you, Long Ao Jiao, I acknowledge you!"

!

"Among the prodigies of the Long clan, you rank in the top three!"

"Come on!"

Long Five already knew, he was not Long Ao Jiao’s opponent, but to him, the most important thing was never the outcome, but the process!

As long as the process was enjoyable, it wouldn’t matter if he got tired or injured a little, afterward.

Such a rare opportunity for such a satisfying battle!

"Only, these aren’t the Long clan’s techniques!"

Long Five remained "taciturn" ——he never stopped!

Long Ao Jiao was almost amused.

death, she didn’t hold back, immediately burst, her power surged, and in a short while, Long Five was tired, then coughed up blood, reluctantly conceding defeat.

"Enough, enough, you're too strong, I concede."

Dragon Five quickly waved his hands, indicating he didn't want to continue, "You're truly powerful!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

"I've seen many peerless heavenly talents, but aside from the Central State, shouldn't only those in the holy lands, or even those of the caliber of holy sons and daughters, possess such strength?"

"Are you a disciple of the Ten Thousand Flower Holy Land? I've never heard of you!"

Dragon Ao Jiao: "..."

"Can you stop with the nonsense?"

"Hmm."

Dragon Five: "I've always been a man of few words, as you know."

"I really didn't know that." Dragon Ao Jiao said, resting her hand on her forehead.

"How can you not know?"

Dragon Five squinted and smiled, "Right, what is your request?"

"I want to spar with the other celestial prodigies of the Long Clan."

"Oh?!"

Dragon Five instantly became cheerful, "Wonderful! It seems you're like me, a 'martial maniac' who enjoys fighting with others."

"Rest assured, I'll help you with this. Being able to watch you freaks spar is also a form of enjoyment for me."

"Wait, could this be the reason you came to the Long Clan? I forgot to ask, so you came just to spar?)"

"Well, I..."

Dragon Ao Jiao was speechless, almost wanting to cover her ears.

But...

Dragon Ao Jiao was never one to take things lying down.

"Get lost!"

Boom!

Dragon Ao Jiao suddenly kicked out, her whip-like leg exploding Dragon Five's buttocks. His entire body slammed into the ground like a cannonball, creating a human-shaped crater.

"Ah?!"

Dragon Five struggled to climb out of the crater, his hand covering his buttocks as he exclaimed, "Why did you do that? Ouch!"

"Go, call someone!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, or if you can't call someone stronger than you, from now on, I'll beat you up non-stop for two and a half years!"

"Why two and a half years?" Dragon Five asked curiously.

Dragon Ao Jiao, however, was filled with black lines and directly raised her tender little fist.

"Alright, don't hit, don't hit, I'll go now."

"..."

...

Deep within the Long Clan.

Several elders gathered.

Their gazes seemed to pierce through the endless void, landing on Dragon Ao Jiao.

The battle at the doorstep of the clan couldn't be hidden from them.

At this moment, one of the elders smiled lightly and spoke, "What do you think of this girl, Dragon Ao Jiao?"

The other elders also had a harmonious and carefree expression, as if they didn't care at all, and they spoke one after another.

"This girl, her talent is not bad."

"She's a good seedling."

"It's just unknown whether she has the Long Clan bloodline or not."

"If she does, we should bring her back. If she can receive our clan's inheritance and cultivation in our ancestral lands, with her talent, she might even be qualified to compete for the position of our clan's Celestial Maiden!"

"Speaking of which, our clan has never had a Celestial Maiden..."

"That's true."

The elders exchanged glances, and their eyes held a hint of something inexplicable.

Celestial Sons were naturally produced in every generation.

But the Long Clan was special; they wouldn't have both a Celestial Son and a Celestial Maiden.

As the elders of the Long Clan, they understood that only the strongest among their peers could hold such positions. Since there could only be one strongest, how could there be two? Therefore, if the strongest was male, there would only be a Celestial Son, and if female, only a Celestial Maiden.

Of course, this was based on the fact that the Xianwu Continent didn't have a third gender. Even though there were eunuchs, for the sake of politeness, they would still be referred to as 'males' externally.

More importantly, the relatively 'simple' Xianwu Continent didn't have those weird gender concepts like armed helicopters or supermarket shopping bags.

After a brief discussion, the elder who spoke first shifted his gaze, "Why not try cultivating her? Perhaps our clan can set a precedent and have a Celestial Maiden for the first time?"

"This... it's not impossible, but her bloodline hasn't been verified yet." The elder on the left responded with a laugh.

"Yes, the bloodline hasn't been verified."

"But on second thought, isn't this verification up to us?"

"Hmm?"

The other elders were all taken aback, "Elder, what do you mean?!"

"I don't mean anything."

The Grand Elder smiled lightly, "I'm just saying."

Everyone: "..."

Old but cunning!

To become an elder of the Long Clan, and one of the most core and powerful ones at that, how could they not understand the Grand Elder's meaning?

It was clear that he highly regarded Dragon Ao Jiao and even intended to cultivate her as a Celestial Maiden, regardless of her bloodline.

They were speechless.

Sometimes, being too smart isn't a good thing.

Like now, they could guess the Grand Elder's meaning.

What was worse was that they knew the Grand Elder was aware that they could guess his intentions.

Even pretending to be ignorant wouldn't help.

It was just uncomfortable.

"This..."

"Is her talent worth our attention?"

"You've seen her talent as well." The Grand Elder withdrew his smile and sighed lightly, "If it were ordinary times, I wouldn't bother interfering with such matters."

"But now, it's a Golden Age, and you know what that means better than I do."

"Currently, the Central State seems peaceful, but that's only because it hasn't reached us yet. Within the Eight Realms, the top-tier forces have already begun to gradually decline, and it won't be long before it affects the Central State."

"The stronger the better, especially since the younger generation is the future."

After a pause, he continued, "Can't you see Dragon Ao Jiao's talent?"

"She was born in a small immortal city in the Southwest Realm, and her entire clan couldn't produce a Seventh Stage cultivator, yet she managed to grow to this level in such a short time..."

"What she possesses is not just talent, but also good fortune."

"Even the Heavenly Dao's 'favor'!"

"But Dragon One's talent and fortune are not to be underestimated, and he's one of our own."

The Grand Elder glanced at the Third Elder, "Speak from your heart, if you sent Dragon One to the barren Southwest Region, and had him follow Long Ao Jiao's path, could he have grown to this extent?"

The Third Elder remained silent.

Although Dragon One was a descendant of his lineage, he couldn't bring himself to utter such blatant lies.

Seeing his silence, the Grand Elder continued, "Moreover, isn't this a coincidence?"

"If she wasn't surnamed Long, if she didn't come to us on her own, I would never have had such thoughts."

"But... there aren't so many 'ifs'."

"Living in this Golden Age, with her peerless talent, her destined path, her personal visit, and her surname Long, and considering our Long Clan has never produced a Celestial Maiden, tell me, how could I not be moved?"

With these words, the two elderly women among them raised their hands, "We agree!"

The rest of them: "..."

You two are quick to agree!

The Long Clan has always had more males than females, so you're taking this opportunity, aren't you?!)

"Let's put it to a vote." The Grand Elder smiled slightly, "The Clan Leader is in seclusion, so we can make this decision together."

They had no choice but to vote, and in the end, it was three against three.

The Grand Elder smiled, "I agree."

The three who disagreed: "..."

Oh, come on!

"With more people agreeing, this matter is settled." The Grand Elder looked at Long Ao Jiao, who was still suppressing Dragon Three, and his eyes were filled with appreciation, "She still has some backlash injuries."

"There's also some residual Immortal Energy on her body, which suggests she fought with a Ninth Stage cultivator not long ago."

"With such talent, she will not disappoint us."

"Right."

He turned to the three who disagreed, his eyes filled with warning, "You know how our clan operates."

"Since you're in the minority, you should obey the majority. Don't cause trouble in secret, don't create chaos, or else you'll face the clan rules."

"That's natural." The three nodded repeatedly, "It's all for the good of the clan, and it's just a disagreement. But as long as it's for the clan's benefit, it won't come to this."

"We're of a certain age, and we understand this naturally."

"Rest assured, Grand Elder."

"Yes, I'll go over right now, and discreetly test her bloodline. If it's true, we'll all be overjoyed, but if not... I can make it so."

"Yes."

"That's the way it should be."

"Never mind."

But the Grand Elder waved his hand, "Knowing is one thing, not knowing is another."

"If it's true, it's indeed a great joy, but if not, it's hard not to feel disappointed, and it's hard not to have some other emotions. Such negative influences are not good."

"I might as well not test her, Long Ao Jiao..."

"She's of our Long Clan's bloodline!"

"Anyway, the rumors outside are like this, aren't they?"

"This..."

Hearing this, the others found it reasonable and fell into deep thought, "In that case, it's not bad. But the precondition is that Long Ao Jiao takes a Heavenly Dao Oath, sincerely joining our clan..."

"That's natural." The Grand Elder nodded, "Go."

"Wait!"

"Wait for them..."

"Finish the fight first."

The Grand Elder's smile was radiant.

...

"I lost."

Dragon Three's face turned ugly as he spoke through gritted teeth.

Dragon Four had a 'I knew it' expression, but then he also sighed, as he himself had lost even faster.

Dragon One's talent...

The Long Clan's sequence was indeed without any exaggeration.

Dragon Five, on the other hand, was in high spirits, even dancing and shouting, "Ao Jiao is so powerful! Invincible, these local chickens and dogs are not your match!"

Dragon Three and Dragon Four: "..."

Damn!

You're happy as if everyone else lost, and you won.

You're acting like only we lost, and you're the only one who won.

Don't you have any shame?

Moreover, what's the point of you being happy that we lost? Fck!

"I'll go call Dragon Two!"

Dragon Five was excited, indicating he would call someone, but Long Ao Jiao stopped him, "One after another, when will it end? Can you bring out the Long Clan's Celestial Son or not?"

"Only he can make me take it seriously."

Dragon Three and Dragon Four's faces changed instantly.

But considering they were the defeated party, they could only endure it, sighing, "Arrogant!"

Hearing the reason for the matter, Dragon Two, who was about to join the fun and teach Long Ao Jiao a lesson, suddenly became furious, "You dare treat us like local chickens and dogs?"

"I, Dragon Two, will come and fight you!"

Long Ao Jiao: "..."

She sighed, "Don't say it like that."

"How can we be local chickens and dogs?"

"Even so, we're still much stronger than local chickens and dogs, so... golden roosters and silver dogs."

"But I want a true peerless genius, not some livestock."

"What the fck?!"

After hearing the first half, Dragon Two felt Long Ao Jiao was sensible, knowing she was strong enough.

But after hearing the second half, he was dumbfounded.

Am I fcking livestock now?

How dare she!

"Let's fight!"

"Wait a moment."

Long Ao Jiao waved her hand, stopping Dragon Two who was already riled up, "What else do you want to say?"

"Is it that only by defeating the Long Clan's Celestial Son will fight you?"

"Otherwise, I'm not interested in wasting time with you."

She came here to learn all the Long Clan's techniques through the Battle Word Secret.

Although these sequences were also strong, there were still a few 'Divine Arts' that were the clan's secret, which they couldn't learn from anyone else.

If the Long Clan's Celestial Son didn't appear, continuing to fight would be a waste of time.

"Alright, alright."

Dragon Two became even more infuriated.

What kind of behavior is this? It's like looking at the bowl but eating from the pot!

I haven't even defeated you, and you're already aiming for the Divine Son? Is this a blatant disregard for me?

"Come on!"

"If you can defeat me, I'll beg for it, and I'll bring the Divine Son to you!"

"Did you say that?"

Dragon Ao Jiao's eyes lit up instantly. "Bring it on!"

"!!!"

"Flying Dragon in the Sky!"

"Dragon Roars in the Wild!"

Boom.

With his first move, Dragon Two unleashed two unique Dragon Clan secret arts, pushing his combat power to the extreme.
