MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1254 - 232: The Ao Family’s Attitude

Therefore, the meeting among the high-level members of Photon City was extremely pleasant. After realizing that Lu Hong possessed the strength to instantly kill someone at the Basic level Martial King, essentially, no one was foolish enough to openly oppose Lu Hong. At least on the surface, they were absolutely submissive. Whether there were other thoughts secretly, that could not be said.

As for Lu Hong, he didn’t expect this formal meeting to allow him to completely control Photon City. What could give him absolute ruling authority was when he truly withstood the Ao Family Main Lineage’s retaliation.

So, in the following time, Lu Hong quietly cultivated, waiting for the Ao Family’s revenge.

The Ao Family offspring who fled from Photon City took a full three months to reach Rongtian Main City. This is also the third most powerful main city among the entire Dark Continent’s Twelve Major Cities. Rongtian City covers an area more than ten times the size of Photon City, extending over a thousand miles, spanning north and south, majestic and vast, like a giant crouching dragon.

Rongtian City has thirty entrance gates, each guarded by a top family of Rongtian City. It can be said that Rongtian Main City is managed under the common rule of the thirty most powerful families. As for the most powerful Rongtian Martial Emperor, he basically does not concern himself with these trivial matters, focusing solely on cultivation.

As night fell, Ao Yuan’s son was in tatters. It was not a peaceful journey; the dozens of Martial Arts Sect Level guards that originally accompanied him had all been lost along the way due to powerful and mutated beasts and the enemies encountered on the road.

Ao Xia, dragging his weary body, staggered to the city gate entrance that was about to close.

Because Rongtian Main City is exceedingly vast, at night, only one of the thirty city gate entrances would be open, and aside from one commercial district within the city, the rest of the areas were under curfew management.

"Don’t... don’t close the gate, let... let me in." Ao Xia spoke with difficulty, pleading with the soldiers guarding from a distance.

The gate soldiers, seeing Ao Xia’s miserable state, chuckled, "Kid, get back to where you came from, don’t die here and bring me bad luck!"

Saying so, they were about to step forward to drive Ao Xia away.

But the next second, the soldier froze, a layer of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

Because Ao Xia took out the Ao Family Token, whoever holds this token must be a distinguished member of the Ao Family, enjoying all special privileges of the Ao Family in Rongtian Main City.

This gate soldier was merely a lowly figure at the bottom of the Ao Family. Handling the token, this must be an important member of the Ao Family; offending such a person would lead to the extermination of one’s nine generations, which would be the lightest punishment.

"My... my lord, it’s me being blind and offending you. Please, my lord, forgive me!" The gate soldier immediately knelt, bowing repeatedly towards Ao Xia.

At this moment, Ao Xia was anxious, where would he have the mind to argue with this gate soldier. He immediately waved his hand, saying, "Take me to Ao Mansion, I have urgent matters to report to the Family Head!"

With the help of the gate soldiers, Ao Xia successfully entered Rongtian Main City and came to the main hall of the Ao Mansion.

Ao Xia also received timely medical care from the Ao Family physician, slightly alleviating his injuries.

After a while, the Ao Family Master entered the main hall, frowning at Ao Xia, "Why are you in such a miserable state? Did something happen in Photon City? Where is your father?"

The connection between the suburb and the main city is much tighter than between the suburb and a smaller town.

For example, Ao Xia, basically entered Rongtian City once every three years, coming back with his father to visit relatives and enhance ties between family members.

The Ao Family Master had also naturally met this young nephew, and he actually had a good impression of him.

Therefore, after receiving the news of Ao Xia’s serious injuries and arrival, he decided to personally come and see him.

"Uncle, my father... is dead!"

Seeing the current Family Head of the Ao Family, Ao Xia finally couldn’t hold back, bursting into tears, venting the hardships in his heart over the past three months.

"What?!" The Ao Family Master was also shocked, "Your father had already reached the Martial King Realm. Who in the suburb could kill him?! Could it be that another main city has launched an attack on our Rongtian City?!"

The first thought of the Ao Family Master was of a hostile main city, as only forces from there, deploying Martial King Level power, could kill Ao Yuan, this Martial King expert of the Ao Family.

"It wasn’t a sudden attack from another main city." Ao Xia shook his head in denial, then recounted all the information he had received.

Upon hearing Ao Xia’s account, the Ao Family Master was so furious that he slammed the table, shattering a fine table into pieces.

"Someone would dare be so bold, truly thinking our Ao Family is without people?!" The Ao Family Master was enraged; Ao Yuan had at least reached the Martial King Realm, and there were only two Martial Kings in the Ao Family. Ao Yuan was considered a core high-level figure of the Ao Family. His unclear death meant immense loss for the Ao Family, and if the news spread, it would greatly damage their reputation in Rongtian City.

The Ao Family Master narrowed his eyes slightly, once again confirming with Ao Xia, "You said he killed your father in one move?"

Ao Xia nodded, "Yes, a giant blood-red sword descended from the sky, broke the Overlord Body that father had summoned, and killed him on the spot, staining the sky with blood."

Even though Ao Xia repeated what he had said before, the Ao Family Master still found it unbelievable. It was simply too incredible. Even upon initially entering the Martial King Realm, no one was a nobody. Even though Martial Kings of the same realm had vast differences between them, the idea of being instantly killed was unlikely; even a Ninth Layer Martial King couldn’t guarantee instantly killing a First Layer Martial King. Moreover, Ao Yuan had also used their Ao Family’s most powerful ancestral skill, Overlord Body, making it seem like there might be something tricky behind the scenes, unseen by anyone not in the Martial King Realm.

The Ao Family Master nodded, saying to Ao Xia, "You’ve been through a lot on your way here, you should rest first. Your father’s revenge, the Ao Family will certainly exact for him, and at that time, we will surely take the person’s head to comfort your father’s spirit in heaven!"

"Thank you, Family Head, please accept my bow!"

After sending Ao Xia away, the Ao Family Master wasted no time, immediately heading to the backyard where the two Martial King level patrons of the Ao Family were dedicated.

"Ao Xiong, the current head of the Ao Family, pays his respects to the Clan Elders!"

Standing at the entrance to the courtyard, Ao Xiong, the Family Head, bowed respectfully, announcing his presence to the elders within the courtyard.

After a while, the response from the Clan Elders came from the courtyard: "Come in!"

"Thank you, Clan Elders."

Ao Xiong quickly entered the courtyard room, seeing the two Clan Elders who were playing chess against each other.

One of the Clan Elders, Ao Lie, glanced at Ao Xiong and said, "It’s late, why aren’t you cultivating yourself? Why have you come here?"

"Reporting to the Clan Elders, a member of our Ao Family in Photon City was massacred by an unknown powerful individual. Ao Yuan, who guarded Photon City, was killed, and the entire Photon City has fallen into others’ hands."

"Ao Yuan?" Hearing this news, the other Clan Elder instantly lost interest in the chess game, putting down the piece he was playing with and looking up at Ao Xiong, "The Heavenly Pride of our Ao Family who broke through to the Martial King Realm three years ago?"

In his words, the Clan Elder’s tone already carried a chill.

Rongtian City may be big, and there might be more than a few Martial Kings, but each family only had two or three of them at most. Every Martial King was core to the family’s strength, and any loss was a huge blow to the family.

Furthermore, crossing from the Ninth Layer of the Martial Arts Sect to the Martial King Realm is a hurdle that ninety-nine percent of people could never cross.

The Ao Family is filled with Ninth Layer Martial Arts Sect experts like stray hairs, not to mention that they could easily gather tens of thousands of them, but crossing from the Ninth Layer of the Martial Arts Sect to Martial King was a gate that, over centuries or even millennia, few from the many strong crossed. Many of these Ninth Layer Martial Arts Sect experts grew old and died, unable to cross that threshold as their vitality declined.

So, Ao Yuan emerging from tens of thousands of Martial Arts Sect experts to soar to the top demonstrated what tremendous talent and fortune he possessed?

For such a person to be killed was an insult, a blow, and was absolutely unacceptable to the Ao Family.

Without further remarks from Ao Xiong, the two Clan Elders of the Ao Family had already made up their minds.

"Second brother, the fact that the opponent could kill Ao Yuan indicates formidable strength. For the sake of the Ao Family’s honor, it would be best for the two of us to go together for stability."

Ao Lie nodded, "That’s what we should do, besides Photon City is also an essential territory of the Ao Family, and it cannot be sullied by petty individuals."
