Chapter 945: The Two Long Clan Ancestors Arrive
Having heard that the Ancestors of the Long clan were on their way, Patriarch Bing and others were surprised.
Among those present, there were only a few that had actually seen the Ancestors of the Long clan. This number was limited to the two Long Clan Dao Treading realm elders and Patriarch Bing.
Even for Patriarch Bing, he had only met the two ancestors briefly and not directly. Having only heard their voice and not seeing their appearance. Shirong had not met the Long Clan ancestors before either. The highest expert he had met was the patriarch of the Long clan once before during a visit.
Everyone only knew that there were two ancestors, a pair of husband and wife. Both were in the Immortal Ascension realm and the strongest experts of the Long continent.
Other than them, the only other Immortal Ascension realm expert was in the Ji clan, Shirong’s great grandfather.
As for the other Immortal Ascension realm experts, they were either all in deep seclusion or hidden.
Lin Wu had heard originally that there were about five Immortal Ascension realm experts in the Long Continent. But so far, only three had come into his field of information.
‘The Long clan and the Ji clan have Immortal Ascension realm experts, but then what about the final two? Are they really in seclusion?’ Lin Wu wondered.
As far as he knew, the final two Immortal Ascension realm experts were both independent experts. They didn’t belong to any clan or sect. But Lin Wu wondered if that really was true.
‘Not to mention there is still the Tian clan. They definitely have at least one Immortal Ascension realm cultivator right now, if not more in seclusion.’ Lin Mu had not forgotten the true hidden power of the Long continent.
After all, the Tian clan was also one of his targets. A plan to add them to the foil was already running parallel to several other plans of Lin Wu. All he needed was more time, and it would also come to fruition.
‘Hmm… in Ten years at most, I should be stable enough to take the next step.’ Lin Wu estimated.
Lin Wu continued to wait while looking through his notifications. There were a ton of them that had popped up during the battle as well as before that. And even now, they were still popping up.
‘The Avatar will need some time to recover. It’s a worthy sacrifice.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
When he had said the Calamity Fiend was injured, he wasn’t lying. The avatar’s body had really been injured by the Lightning pillar despite having resistance to it. But all this was necessary to test the limits of the avatar as well as to put up a convincing show.
After all, Lin Wu wasn’t just faking it for the people that were present here, but for everyone on the Long Continent. Even if he could convince those present here with less effort, it might not work the same on the two ancestors that were coming here.
Immortal Ascension realm cultivators had better senses and might see through Lin Wu’s tricks. So instead of using smokes and mirrors, Lin Wu did a legitimate battle. This would make it so that there would be nothing left to debate.
‘Considering they can monitor this far, their capabilities are not to be taken lightly. That was certainly not just spirit sense, but also an assistive Spirit tool. Perhaps even a pseudo-immortal tool.’ Lin Wu pondered.
All his precautions had worked, and the two ancestors really thought that a great battle had happened. Since it really had happened. Even with their special treasure, there was no flaw that they could make out.
‘And seeing that I could trigger a bloodline resonance, they should take me a lot more seriously now.’ Lin Wu smiled to himself.
The system had warned him when the male Ancestor of the Long clan had been spying on him. Having known that, all Lin Wu need to do was to exert some pressure and his bloodline would automatically resonate against another strong beast bloodline.
And just like he had done for Long Qingao, Lin Wu knew the bloodline of the Long clan wasn’t pure. It wasn’t the true Azure Dragon Bloodline, but rather a lower ranked Azure Serpent Bloodline.
~HUALA~
A short while later, a strong gust of wind blew from the west and two streaks of blue light could be seen in it.
“They are here!” The two Long Clan High elders spoke in unison.
Lin Wu had already seen the approach on the map and wasn’t surprised, but the Patriarch and others were. After all, the time needed to travel from the Long clan to the Cang Lan sect was not short.
Even for a Dao Treading realm expert, it would take at least two to three days. And yet the two ancestors had covered that distance in less than two hours. It only proved to them that the strength of the Immortal Ascension realm experts was a lot more than they thought.
“Long Biro welcomes the two ancestors!”
“Long Chi welcomes the two ancestors!”
The two High elders of the Long clan bowed their heads.
“Patriarch Bing of the Frozen Cloud sect welcomes the Long Clan ancestors!”
“Wang Xiong of the Frozen Cloud sect welcomes the Long Clan ancestors!”
“Ji Shirong, the first heir of the Ji clan welcomes the Long Clan ancestors!”
Everyone other than Ji Shirong and Lin Wu bowed their heads, with Shirong only cupping his hands in greeting.
~step~step~
The old husband and wife landed a short distance away from Lin Wu, observing him. They didn’t even pay any attention to the greetings of others, even ignoring their own clansmen.
“Long Qing greets the King of Millennium Forest.” The male ancestor spoke respectfully.
“Long Fei greets the King of the Millennium Forest.” The female ancestor spoke as well.
Both of them had their hands cupped in salute and were clearly acknowledging Lin Wu’s position as an equal here.
