Chapter 922: The Long Family’s Plan

Zhao Gang, seeing so many top-quality spirit stones and elixirs, had an excited expression on his face; he had never seen so many top-quality spirit stones and elixirs before.

After all, most of the cultivation resources in Huaxia were now controlled by the big powers of the Hidden Sect, and even being a state organization, the Special Security Bureau didn’t possess many cultivation resources.

Otherwise, the strength of the Earth Group wouldn’t be so weak, and he wouldn’t have only just reached the second layer of the Saint Realm as the head of the Special Security Bureau.

As for the Tian Group, they did have some cultivation resources, but those were controlled by the eight Grand Elders and were only provided to people in the Tian Group; others couldn’t get any, which is why Zhao Gang was so excited when he saw so many spirit stones and elixirs.

"Ye Luo, you really are a lucky star for the Special Security Bureau. With these elixirs and spirit stones, the strength of the Special Security Bureau can definitely be greatly improved."

Zhao Gang said excitedly.

"Yes." Ye Luo nodded.

Meanwhile, in the Capital City, at the Long Family.

In the main hall of the Long Family, Long Aoxiong, the elderly patriarch of the Long Family, dressed in a Tang suit, was sitting in the master’s armchair at the head, but his expression was somewhat worried and solemn. Beside him sat Long Zhantian, Long Yun, and Long Shan, with Long Qian sitting on the other side, his expression somewhat sinister.

"Grandfather, we’ve been investigating for so many days now, and that boy is definitely not the Divine Dragon Heir. I think he must be deceiving us, perhaps it was just a coincidence that day."

Long Qian coldly spat out.

"Regardless, you all saw the situation that day; the aura he carried indeed had the ability to suppress the cultivation techniques practiced by our Long Family. He is definitely not simple,"

Long Aoxiong said.

"But big brother, are we just going to let it go? Now that we no longer have the Dragon Scales, our cultivation speed is greatly reduced. In time, our Long Family’s strength will gradually weaken, and we might even fall behind the Ji Family."

"Originally, with the help of the Dragon Scales, I was confident that I could break through to the Controlling Qi Realm within three years, but now I fear it will take ten years without them,"

Long Shan said reluctantly, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam. Ye Luo taking the Dragon Scales away had changed his breakthrough time from three years to ten, and naturally, he was very unwilling and angry.

"Uncle, don’t be impulsive. Anyway, Ye Luo has also helped me,"

Long Zhantian said involuntarily.

"Zhan Tian, do you realize, without the power of the Dragon Scales, your realm may hardly improve anymore? If we still had the Dragon Scales, there would still be hope for your strength to recover,"

"Regardless, the Dragon Scales are the treasured legacy of our Long Family; we must take them back," Long Shan said with a determined look in his eyes.

"The Dragon Scales are crucial for the Long Family; indeed, we must retrieve them, but since this boy has a way to counter the power of our cultivation techniques, we cannot act ourselves; we need others to do this task, to retrieve the Dragon Scales,"

Long Aoxiong said with a glint in his eyes.

"Grandfather, do you already have a plan?" Long Qian’s gaze shifted to Long Aoxiong.

"Yes." Long Aoxiong nodded, then turned his gaze to Long Qian, saying, "Qian’er, you must diligently accelerate your cultivation. It is said that the strength of that girl from the Ji Family has improved rapidly recently, and she might already be on par with you,"

"That Ji Family girl has a proud character; if you want to win her heart, you must possess the strength to defeat her, only the strong can conquer her,"

"Rest assured, Grandfather, I will definitely win over Ji Ziling; she belongs only to me, Long Qian!"

Long Qian confidently declared.

Outside the villa estate, Ye Luo and Leng Ruobing had just returned when they sensed a terrifying presence descending.

Ye Luo’s gaze swept away, seeing two figures slowly approaching, one wearing a golden robe, with golden hair and a golden beard, his face stern and profound.

The other person was dressed in a green long robe, his figure thin, wearing two green beards; these two men were the two Grand Elders of the Five Elements Sect, Jin Yunhai and Lin Zhishan.

"Kid, I have finally found you!"

Lin Zhishan’s gaze was cold as he stared at Ye Luo, before he glanced at Jin Yunhai and said, "Grand Elder, this is the youngster Ye Luo who Huo Ji mentioned, the one who has obtained the Metal Origin Bead and the Fire Origin Pearl."

In an instant, Jin Yunhai’s pupils narrowed, and a terrifying aura enveloped Ye Luo, as if the heavens themselves were bearing down; the very air around them seemed to freeze in place.

The overwhelming aura turned Leng Ruobing’s face pale, and she trembled slightly, though Ye Luo seemed unaffected.

"Are the Metal Origin Bead and the Fire Origin Pearl on you?"

Jin Yunhai asked in a deep, icy tone.

"So what if they are on me? Do you want them?" Ye Luo responded indifferently.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

At that moment, Feng Tian, Zi Xia, and others all rushed out from the villa and gathered beside Ye Luo, their expressions changing upon sensing the terrifying aura from Jin Yunhai.

"A Spirit Sea Realm master!"

Zi Xia and Feng Tian exclaimed in unison, their expressions rather grave.

"Hand over the two beads, and I will spare you from death!"

Jin Yunhai said coldly, his tone carrying a hint of command, as he looked at Ye Luo as if he were a mere ant.

"Ye Luo, his strength is formidable, and now you’re in trouble. How did you manage to offend so many powerful figures?"

Feng Tian whispered to Ye Luo.

"Being handsome just means having more enemies!"

Even at this moment, Ye Luo couldn’t resist being a bit self-absorbed.

"Don’t be careless; he is a Spirit Sea Realm master, and even I am no match for him," Zi Xia said solemnly, her body swirling with a purple aura.

"Does Senior Ao Long have any means to deal with him?"

Ye Luo asked calmly, already consulting Ao Long in his mind.

"Don’t worry, just a single-layer Spirit Sea Realm fellow, no need to be concerned. With your physical strength, combined with the power of your Eight Feet Mirror, his True Yuan attack won’t kill you," Ao Long said lightly.

"But what if he uses a soul attack? Can my soul withstand it now?"

Ye Luo was somewhat worried. Although his soul’s power was very strong now, he had never fought a Spirit Sea Realm being in a soul battle and wasn’t sure if his soul could withstand such an attack.

"With your current soul’s power, resisting his soul attack will not be difficult. However, you don’t need to trouble yourself with that; if he dares to use a soul attack against you, then he will die even faster, heh heh!"

Ao Long chuckled sinisterly, sending chills down Ye Luo’s spine. This Divine Dragon definitely had some tricks up his sleeve, yet Ao Long’s words did bring Ye Luo some relief.

"The things I, Ye Luo, obtain, I never like to hand over. However, if you hand over the two beads on you to me, then I might just accept them," Ye Luo said, with a sharp gleam in his eyes.

Just a moment ago, his Clairvoyant Eye had scanned the opponent, discovering that this Spirit Sea Realm individual was concealing two Origin Beads, likely the Water Origin Bead and the Earth Origin Bead of the Five Elements.
