Chapter 932: Chapter 467 Trading_2

Long Dangdang’s mind stirred as he immediately recalled that world he had once visited—filled only with fire and deep darkness, much like being inside the Devil Realm, but that world was saturated with the scent of death even more so than the current Wraith Kingdom in front of him. According to the stories his mother had told him, it was very likely because that world had been destroyed by Kongkong in his previous life, ultimately becoming a world of the wraiths. So, if the Land of the Sacred and Demonic were destroyed, would it also turn into something like that?

"You don’t have much time left, you need to decide quickly, my brother. Otherwise, once your Slow Delay Domain leaks its presence, it will be beyond my control," Long Kongkong’s smile looked so loathsome that it made one want to slap him.

Long Dangdang glanced at him and then at his companions by his side. He understood that Long Kongkong wasn’t exaggerating—with his current strength, which seemed to have reached the peak of the 8th Rank, it was inevitable that he could trap them for a while. And he merely needed to activate this place to let the powerful wraiths outside discover them, then everything would be over. Thus, he really had no choice.

"Fine, I agree," Long Dangdang said gravely, "but from today onwards, our brotherly ties are severed, Long Kongkong."

Long Kongkong seemed completely unconcerned, smiling faintly, "I’ve told you, I am now Austin Griffen, no longer Long Kongkong. We are certainly friends, not foes. To complete myself, sooner or later, I will need to devour you, my dear brother!"

While speaking, the light from his As-I-Wish Domain receded, and the terrifying devouring power quickly dissipated, allowing Long Dangdang and the others to breathe a sigh of relief.

Long Kongkong smiled, "Hurry up and go, don’t get caught. That wouldn’t be my fault. When the time comes, I will, of course, still protect you because we have a deal, but as for the others, I can’t say, including my sister-in-law."

"Kongkong, how could you have changed like this?" Ming Xi said, gazing at him in despair.

"Let’s go!" Long Dangdang ordered gravely.

Yue Li grabbed Ming Xi, and everyone quickly exited through the cave they had come in.

Long Dangdang was the last to leave the cave. At the moment of departure, he turned back to look at Long Kongkong, who was still smirking at him, his right hand clenched into a fist and thumping his own chest, in what looked like an imperfect gesture of a knight’s salute.

Long Dangdang’s face immediately darkened, and he abruptly turned and followed his companions into the underground tunnel.

They did not activate the Undiscovered Grotto Spirit Furnace right away as this place was no longer safe. Releasing the Earth Escape Shuttle instead, they let everyone board and rapidly fled toward the outside world while simultaneously destroying the mud behind them and using earth specialty magic to cover their tracks.

Watching Long Dangdang and his companions leaving, Long Kongkong’s expression quickly turned icy cold, and his smile faded.

Just then, a faint blue light bloomed beside him like a fresh flower, and a figure also appeared next to him.

"Mother," Long Kongkong called out softly.

"Do you think he’s truly willing to help you through the difficulties of leveling up? Given his character, I’m scared he might choose to die with you at that moment," said the figure beside Long Kongkong, who was none other than the Spectral Saint Mage, Ling Xue.

Long Kongkong gave a slight smile, shaking his head, "I understand his personality even better than you do. He always stands by his word. Moreover, this is to his advantage as well! He wants to ascend to the 9th Rank, and he will face the same issues. For me, if I can’t retrieve the power I had in that plane, I’ll never be able to return to my former strength. Only when both our powers have ascended, and after I’ve devoured him, will I be complete—the God of Wrath, the Nine-headed Chimera Austin Griffen. At that time, destroying this plane and spreading the order of wraiths throughout the world will be but a simple task. That’s why I don’t want you to capture him forcibly. Even if I merged with him now, I wouldn’t be able to ascend. Merging with him wouldn’t allow me to break through the 8th Rank bottleneck, and without him, in that world, it’s nearly impossible for me to escape the attacks of the Wraith Monarchs. So right now, I just hope he becomes stronger. Moreover, I can feel that he still has hopes for me. Dangdang is sentimental by nature, and once we go to that plane, just by showing more dependence on him, I’ll naturally evoke his brotherly affection, and he will help me. If it comes down to it, I’ll just deceive him then."

Ling Xue’s gaze appeared slightly suppressed at this moment, "It’s a pity, after all, he is also a son I bore, but he has taken away the power that should have belonged to you. I don’t understand why I didn’t just give birth to you alone instead of having twins. But anyway, let’s retrieve your power. Let’s annihilate all humans."

Long Kongkong nodded, "Yes, there’s no need to rush. We don’t need to take risks. On the human front, we just need to hold our ground, not allowing them any opportunity to advance. Once I have recovered my former authority, they will be nothing but chickens and dogs. Besides, you’ve said our power is still somewhat insufficient compared to humans, and the 6 Great Sacred Temples have some substance considering their millennia of foundation."

Ling Xue nodded slightly, "The visible power of the 6 Great Sacred Temples isn’t much, but the Elder Hall of the 6 Great Sacred Temples is quite troublesome. The Sacred Legates from the past two generations should still be alive. Although we’re not afraid of them, it’s better to be cautious and not to engage lightly in battle. The destruction of three wraith altars has forced me to come back. I must quickly set up more wraith altars to foster more Saint Hall Level combat power, otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to buy you enough time."

"Can the front line hold?" Long Kongkong asked.

Ling Xue nodded, "Your father is there. In terms of individual combat ability, probably no one in the Temple Federation can match him one-on-one. And if someone is killed, there’s a chance they can become a part of our power. The Temple Federation is also cautious and dares not act rashly."

"That’s good."

...

Long Dangdang and his companions quickly fled far away. After leaving the Stone Gate City area, they directly used mid-range teleportation to arrive at a cave they had prepared earlier.

"Everyone, take a rest. I’ll set up the Undiscovered Grotto Spirit Furnace right away, and we’ll prepare to return," Long Dangdang said solemnly.

"Captain, wait a moment,"

Just as Long Dangdang was about to start preparing the long-range teleportation channel of the Undiscovered Grotto Spirit Furnace, he was stopped by Ming Xi.

Ming Xi’s pretty face, still stained with tears, looked at him unbelievingly, "Kongkong, what in the world happened to him? What’s going on? Why did he change like that, and also, why don’t I understand a thing he says? Captain, what actually happened?"

It wasn’t just her—Yue Li, Wang Changxin, and Tao Linlin, who had not spoken before, were also looking over.

The sudden appearance of Long Kongkong, yet turning into an enemy presence, had a huge impact on them, making it all the more unbelievable.

Long Dangdang fell silent. Should he tell everyone that the Spectral Saint Mage is his and Long Kongkong’s mother? Would the team immediately fall apart? How could they accept this reality? But if he didn’t tell them, how would he explain what had happened before? He had always been hesitant about telling his comrades the truth, but now it seemed, it was time to make a decision.

Just then, Ling Menglu suddenly spoke up, "Dangdang, let me do it. I think it’s time to tell everyone," she said, as she walked forward and grasped Long Dangdang’s distinctly cold hand.
