C702
The tall buildings stood tall and straight on the territory.
In the deepest part of the estate, there was an enormous castle. It was the residence of the Flame Serpent Clan's clan leader, Yan Lie.
Around the castle, from time to time, the Flame Serpent Clan's experts could be seen moving about.
"Crash!"
Space itself began to twist and distort, and a spatial tear appeared in front of the castle.
Immediately after, Loong Hao's figure appeared from the crack in the space.
"Who is it!"
Seeing Loong Hao appear, the Flame Serpent warrior that was in charge of patrolling immediately noticed the abnormality.
More than ten Soul level Flame Serpent soldiers immediately appeared and surrounded Loong Hao. A large amount of terrifying demon aura surged out from their bodies.
"Heh …"
Loong Hao couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head slightly when he saw the dozen or so powerful Flame Serpent warriors surrounding him.
"Kid, who are you? This is the territory of our Flame Serpent Clan, no one is allowed to trespass!"
One of the leaders of the Flame Serpent Clan shouted in anger.
"I am here to look for Yan Lie. Yan Lie, are you in the Flame Serpent Clan?"
Loong Hao asked calmly.
With just the strength of these ten or so soul rank Flame Serpent Clan experts, they were nothing in his eyes.
"You're courting death!"
"How could the Patriarch be someone that a kid like you can casually meet?"
"Where did this little brat come from? How dare he behave so recklessly? Take him down and hand him over to the commander!"
"..."
With that, the Flame Serpent Clan warriors attacked Loong Hao at the same time.
"Why?"
Loong Hao immediately shook his head as he saw the dozen or so powerful Flame Serpent Clan warriors attack.
He sighed.
Boom!
In the next moment, a monstrous devilish might exploded from his body.
These Flame Serpent experts didn't even have the time to react before their souls were directly destroyed by the terrifying devilish might.
Even his physical body was turned to ashes and not even his bones remained under this terrifying power.
The experts of the Flame Serpent Clan didn't even have the chance to react before they died on the spot.
"How dare you!"
Sensing this terrifying devilish might, the Flame Serpent Race experts who had rushed over immediately shouted in anger.
A tall and powerful Flame Serpent Clan expert, who had reached the late stage of the Cosmic Star Realm, suddenly appeared.
"Brat, who are you? You dare to kill my clansman of the Snake Clan? You're courting death!"
This Universe level warrior of the Flaming Snake Clan roared angrily. His voice was deafening and earth-shattering.
Behind this Flame Serpent Clan's Universe level expert was a group of Flame Serpent Clan experts.
In the span of a few breaths, more than a hundred experts of the Flame Serpent Clan had gathered.
The majority of the Flame Serpent Clan's experts were at the Divine Soul level. With such strength, in terms of Divine Martial Realm, it was enough for them to become the next Patriarch.
However, he could only be a small soldier of the Flame Serpent Clan.
Other than these ordinary Soul Realm experts, there were also a dozen or so other Sky and Earth Realm experts of the Flame Serpent Clan.
However, compared to the first Flame Serpent expert to arrive, these Universe level warriors were a bit weaker.
"Commander!"
The group of Flame Serpent Clan experts all bowed to this late stage Universe level Flame Serpent Clan expert.
After that, they stared at Loong Hao with incomparable rage and gnashed their teeth.
"Commander, this kid dares to kill a disciple of my clan. We definitely can't let him off!"
"Kill him!"
"I must tear him into a thousand pieces and grind his bones to dust!"
"..."
The surrounding Flame Serpent Clan experts all roared in anger.
However, no one dared to attack Loong Hao.
Even though they did not personally witness how Loong Hao had instantly killed more than a dozen of the Spirit grade Flame Serpent Clan's experts.
However, he was also able to guess that Loong Hao's strength was not something that an ordinary Cosmos Sack expert could compare with.
With this kind of strength, even in the entire Devil World, he could be considered an expert.
"Humph!"
After hearing the words spoken by the Flame Serpent Clan experts, the Flame Serpent Clan's Qiankun level expert coldly snorted. His voice was ice-cold.
"Kid, who exactly are you? If you state your name, this commander can leave you a complete corpse! "
The leader of the Flame Serpent Clan roared in anger.
His strength had already reached the great circle of the late stage of the Cosmic Star Realm.
But even so, he was still unable to see through the strength of the boy in front of him.
Because of this, even he didn't dare to rashly attack Loong Hao.
"This sovereign is only looking for Yan Lie."
Hearing the leader's words, Loong Hao spoke again.
"You're courting death!"
Hearing this, the Flame Serpent Clan's commander's face immediately changed. He coldly shouted, "If you want to meet my clan leader, this commander will grant you his wish. However, when the time comes, the chief will see your corpse!"
"Die!"
With that, the leader of the Flame Serpent Clan roared in anger. He grabbed at the air with his right hand and a black long spear appeared in his hand. He grabbed it and thrust it towards Loong Hao.
"Alright!"
"First Commander, kill this kid and avenge my clansmen!"
"This child actually dares to trespass into our Flame Serpent Clan, and even killed our clansman of the Snake Clan! He should be aware of his death, and not just anyone can casually enter our Flame Serpent Clan!"
"..."
Seeing that the great commander of the Flaming Snake clan had made his move, the experts of the Flaming Snake clan were all incomparably excited.
In their opinion, if the Commander personally took action, the kid in front of them would die no matter how strong he was.
"Boom boom boom!"
Terrifying demonic energy wrapped around the Flame Serpent Clan's leader. The long black spear carried an unparalleled power and instantly arrived in front of Loong Hao.
Facing this terrifying shot, Loong Hao only narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not even look at it.
Boom!
The moment the black spear pierced into Loong Hao's forehead, an extremely terrifying power suddenly erupted from Loong Hao's body.
"What?"
The Flame Serpent warrior was shocked and his expression changed.
This terrifying devil might aura caused his entire body to tremble.
Even when facing the Flame Serpent Clan's Patriarch, Yan Lie, he had never felt such a terrifying devil might.
"Who exactly is this boy?"
The leader of the Flame Serpent Clan was terrified and didn't dare to attack Loong Hao again.
An expert of this level of strength … if he were to make a move, the person who died would definitely kill him!
Even though the tip of the black spear in his hand was less than three inches away from Loong Hao, he did not dare to pierce forward even by a hair's breadth.
Just as he was about to stop, before he could even react, a black long sword suddenly came out from behind him and crushed his heart.
"To … A Supreme Demon Weapon! "
The commander of the Flaming Snake clan looked shocked. He lowered his head to look at the huge hole in his chest, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness.
"Bam!"
After that, his body exploded into a shower of blood and gore.
Even the black spear in his hand instantly shattered.
As the master of the black pike, the black pike was the Origin Demon Weapon that he refined.
When his master had fallen, the black spear had naturally been damaged as well.
"Hiss!"
When the surrounding Flame Serpent Clan experts saw this, they were immediately shocked. They looked at the scene in disbelief.
In their eyes, the commander whose strength was only inferior to the Flame Serpent Clan Patriarch, Yan Lie, had died just like that? Did he die at the hands of a brat from who knows where?
From the beginning to the end, they didn't even see clearly how Loong Hao had attacked!
"The commander is dead!"
"Dammit, who is this boy exactly? Even the commander is no match for him?"
"Supreme Demon Weapon! This brat has a Supreme Demon Weapon! Could it be that this child is a Supreme Demon Weapon!?"
"..."
The Flame Serpent Clan experts looked at Loong Hao in disbelief.
A Sovereign Realm expert, even in the entire Devil World, was extremely famous.
The Flame Serpent Clan's clan head, Yan Lie, was one of the Martial Saint level experts. Not only that, he had already reached the terrifying strength of a mid Martial Saint.
As long as one had enough luck, in the future, they could even become a late-stage Paragon or even a Chief Sovereign.
This kind of expert, even with his great Devil World, was not many.
However, at this moment, there was actually a boy with a high possibility of reaching the Martial Saint level. This was truly unimaginable.
However, it was precisely because Loong Hao had killed the great commander of the Flame Serpent Clan that no one dared to make a move against Loong Hao.
No one wanted to die!
"Ha!"
Looking at the people of the Flame Serpent Clan who were almost scared to death, Loong Hao shook his head slightly.
In the end, the Flame Serpent Clan still couldn't compare to the other powerful races with Devil World.
If it were any other Devil Clan, after he had killed his clansmen, even if they knew full well that they were no match for him, they would still risk their lives.
This was the difference between the two races.
Such a gap was not something that could be changed by the birth of a supreme expert within the clan.
"Yan Lie, as matters stand, are you still planning to hide behind your back and not reveal yourself?"
Loong Hao shook his head. He looked at the tall castle in front of him and said with a disappointed tone.
"Could it be that Patriarch has been secretly watching from the shadows all this time?"
Hearing Loong Hao's words, the surrounding Flame Serpent Clan experts were all shocked and could not believe it.
The clan head was a Martial Saint, how could he allow others to kill his clansman as they wished?
However, what they never expected was that after hearing Loong Hao's words, a figure appeared in front of them.
"Patriarch!"
"It's really the chief!"
"The chief has appeared! That's great! With him, we can definitely kill him!"
"Patriarch, please avenge our Great Commander and the other Flame clansman of the Snake Clan who have died at the hands of this brat!"
"..."
As Yan Lie stood behind them, all of the Flame Serpent Clan experts were incomparably excited.
"All of you, leave!"
However, what was hard for the Flame Serpent Clan's experts to imagine was that Yan Lie, the patriarch of the Flame Serpent Clan, who had always been incredibly powerful in their hearts, not only did he not attack Loong Hao, he even made them retreat.
What did that mean?
"Patriarch?"
The Flame Serpent Clan experts looked at Yan Lie in disbelief, their eyes filled with doubt.
Was this really the clan leader?
"Step down!"
However, upon hearing that the Flame Serpent Clan experts did not plan to leave, Yan Lie immediately yelled in anger.
"All of you, leave!" What, does this chief's words no longer count? "All of you, retreat! Leave the Flame Serpent Clan! You are not to return until tonight!"
Yan Lie shouted in anger.
"Yes sir!"
Under Yan Lie's angry shout, the hearts of the Flame Serpent clansmen violently jumped.
Then, he looked at Loong Hao in disbelief. He saw that Loong Hao had been watching the entire time with a calm expression and never said a word.
This was a stark contrast to Yan Lie's previous actions.
However, the more it was like this, the more it was evident that the strength of this boy in front of him was something that even clan leader Yan Lie would find difficult to deal with.
Even … Difficult to resist!
Thinking of this, the group of Flame Serpent Clan experts turned around and left without any hesitation. They didn't dare to stay any longer in this place.
After the Flame Serpent Clan experts left, Yan Lie turned to look at Loong Hao.
"Plop!"
The Flame Serpent Clan's clan head, Yan Lie, who had already reached the Zhizun realm intermediate stage, suddenly knelt towards Loong Hao. In that instant, he seemed to have aged a hundred years.
"Greetings, Sir Yan Lie!"
Yan Lie said in a low voice as he kowtowed. His forehead heavily hit the ground and his entire body trembled uncontrollably.
Even though Loong Hao had changed his appearance, his strength was still far from what it used to be.
But in the instant Loong Hao appeared, he already knew Loong Hao's identity.
He had been fighting alongside Loong Hao for many years, so he was very sensitive to Loong Hao's aura.
This made him instinctively kneel and bow to Loong Hao the moment he saw him.
"Get up."
Loong Hao chuckled and said in a dull tone. He looked at Yan Lie.
"Yes..."
Yan Lie trembled as he stood up.
"Not bad, in just a few short years, you've already broken through to the Zhizun realm intermediate stage. It looks like they've given you quite a bit."
Loong Hao said calmly.
Yan Lie's figure had only just stood up halfway when he heard Loong Hao's words. His entire body knelt down on the ground in fear, cold sweat unceasingly emerging from his forehead.
"Yan Lie knows his wrongs. Please spare his lowly life on account of the fact that Yan Lie has followed you for so many years to wage war …"
Yan Lie said with a trembling voice. He didn't dare to stand up in the slightest.
"It's not like I'm talking to you. Just wake you up. No matter what, you're still the head of the clan. This sort of attitude isn't good if someone sees you."
Loong Hao said lightly.
If he wanted to kill Yan Lie, he only needed a single thought.
However, he couldn't kill Yan Lie yet. He still had a lot of questions to ask.
"Yes …" In front of your excellency, Yan Lie is not the patriarch of the Flame Serpent Clan.
Hearing Loong Hao's words, Yan Lie slowly stood up and replied with a trembling voice. His complexion had already turned pale and bloodless.
"What a pawn!"
A hint of killing intent flashed through Loong Hao's eyes. He sneered, then said, "What? This sovereign came to your Flame Serpent Clan. As the chief, you don't bring this senior in to see?"
"Yan Lie wouldn't dare. The Flame Serpent Clan has always been yours, milord. Yan Lie has always been your master's personal chamber. He has always been waiting for you to return."
Yan Lie said with a trembling voice. He walked in front of Loong Hao and led the way.
A long time ago, the Flame Serpent Clan was just a small clan with insignificant Devil World.
At that time, Loong Hao was only at the Martial Saint level and not the Chief Sovereign level.
When he passed by the Flame Serpent Clan, he had immediately realized that he had subdued the Flame Serpent Clan at that time. Furthermore, he had asked Yan Lie, who was just an ordinary member of the Flame Serpent Clan at that time, to follow him.
After that, as Loong Hao broke through to the Chief Sovereign Realm, Yan Lie's strength also rose by leaps and bounds.
From a mere Divine Soul Realm, he actually became a Sovereign.
After that, Yan Lie returned to the Flame Serpent Clan and took over as their patriarch.
He even set up a palace for Loong Hao in the Flame Serpent Clan.
Although Yan Lie was very clear that Loong Hao would not appear in the Flame Serpent Tribe even once with his status, this palace had never been abandoned.
"Oh, this sovereign is in the Flame Serpent Clan, and I have a private room. Why didn't this noble one know about it?"
Loong Hao squinted his eyes.
"When Yan Lie returned to the clan, he specially built a palace hall for sire. Since sire has so many affairs to attend to, it's normal for me to forget it."
Yan Lie replied.
"It seems to be true."
Loong Hao nodded slightly. He thought for a while, but didn't care.
It was impossible for him to remember all the little things in his heart.
"Lord, this is the sleeping quarters that Yan Lie has prepared for you. Over the years, someone has been cleaning it every day."
Yan Lie led Loong Hao into a magnificent palace.
The entire palace was built using black jade that was unique to the Devil World and the temperature inside was comfortable. More importantly, the speed of cultivation here was several times faster than outside.
Evidently, in order to build this palace, Yan Lie had spent quite a bit of effort.
Of course, what truly surprised him was that after his accident, Yan Lie had actually still kept this palace and there had never been traces of it being used by anyone.
With his strength, if someone had really lived in this palace before, they would not be able to escape his notice.
"Are you so sure that this sovereign will definitely return?"
Loong Hao glanced at Yan Lie with interest.
"My lord's strength is unparalleled, unrivalled in all realms. Yan Lie, I have never believed that you would perish because of it."
Yan Lie said with a nervous tone.
"Hehe …"
Hearing Yan Lie's words, Loong Hao immediately chuckled and shook his head.
You don't believe that your true self will perish, but in the end you still betrayed your true self.
The reason why I've stayed in this palace is to prevent me from returning one day. For the sake of my past, I'll spare your life.
Loong Hao, who saw through this point, did not mention it.
"Do you know who else betrayed me when I spread the news out?"
Loong Hao's voice suddenly became cold as he turned around and asked.
Although he already had a guess, he still needed a clear answer.
"Master, since you've returned, you obviously have an answer in your heart. Why do you need to ask me?"
Yan Lie's voice was bitter.
If that person didn't betray Loong Hao, how could he betray Loong Hao?
However, after hearing Yan Lie's words, Loong Hao did not reply. Instead, he coldly looked at him, causing a chill to run down Yan Lie's spine.
"It's Lord Yunji."
After a long time, Yan Lie was finally unable to endure the frightening pressure coming from Loong Hao. He slowly spat out a name.
"It really is her."
Loong Hao sneered as killing intent flashed across his eyes. He didn't expect that it really was this woman.
Yun Ji, honorably named Yun Ji Xuan Nü!
He was Loong Hao's only disciple in Devil World and the most trusted person there.
Although the two of them did not have the name of master and disciple, Yun Ji and Yun Xiao's abilities were both taught to them by him.
Yun Ji's talent was extraordinary, rarely seen in the world. In just three thousand years, she had already cultivated to the unimaginable Martial Saint level.
After that, in less than ten thousand years, he broke through to the peak of the late-stage Martial Saint level and became known as the number one person under the level of the Chief Sovereign!
Everyone in the world would call her Yun Ji Profound Maiden, or Supreme Cloud Ji Woman!
However, it was this disciple that he deeply trusted who betrayed him in the end and set up this heaven-shocking trap!
