Chapter 681 Departure.
Shi Lang had talked with Tain Long about manufacturing Sniper Rifles. Still, he had declined the dragon sovereign's offer because this weapon's mass production was impossible without a huge stock of material needed. Also, Shi Lang intended to monopolize this weapon. He intended to develop a self-destruction array hidden inside the weapons, so if anyone tries to reverse engineer this, it will destroy before letting anyone see the mechanism inside. Plus, the spiritual sniper rifle would be an extremely crucial card for the Asura Hall in the future. The cover of the lost bird sect would last for ten years; before that, he would strengthen the organization by a higher degree. The terran was ready to leave when Tian Long approached him and told him about the situation with the big families. Shi Lang frowned, and Tian Long said, "This is obvious. The devices you have showcased were bound to gather attention. I have acquired news that these big families intended to go to the War Maiden Sect to reach a collaboration, but the grand elders and the rest of the people have firmly denied collaborating with them. The War Maiden Sect is not a small faction. These cowards fear drawing attention from their upper echelons. After all, the so-called peace and tactic understanding among the big names keeps things in balance. Since one door has been closed for them, the only option left is to look for you." Shi Lang nodded in understanding, familiar with such diplomacy, and asked, "So, what is the problem? You have already stepped forward and announced that I am the champion of the Dragon Army. I do not think the old people from these big families will be coming after me." Tian Long nodded and replied, "You are correct. They will not come after you, but the younger generation, everyone below the Immortal Emperor Level, will come after you." Shi Lang was surprised and asked, "Does that include Immortal Kings too?" Tian Long nodded. The terran sighed and said, "I did think this would happen, but to cull a talent in his birth, you humans are crueler than those demonic shits."
The dragon sovereign just rolled his eyes at them. He said, "Go, and if anyone comes at you, make sure you beat them to the point they cannot stand up. You know what to do if someone reveals the slightest bit of killing intent. As for their families, I will intervene. Hump, they do not yet dare to duke it out with me." Shi Lang smiled and said, "I am grateful for your favor, old man, but please look at your age before you initiate a war. I have a family to look after. Also, you must clean up your house before taking on anyone else." Tian Long took a deep breath and said, "One of these days, I will beat you to the pulp." Shi Lang shrugged and said, "Come at me if you dare to fight in the same realm." Tian Long snorted and rebuked him, "Cheap shot, when has enemy lowered their strength when fighting with trashy low levelers." Shi Lang narrowed his gaze and said, "If you do not have the guts, do not pose like a hero to me. I know better than you. The weak rely on their minds, while the strong only move with their muscles." Tian Long wanted to comeback, but Shi Lang had walked away from the place with his chin high. He said, "Keep my forces a secret, or you know what I am capable of."
Tian Long sneered and said, "I did not expect that the Scavenger King was so caring of his cronies." Shi Lang stopped and said, "That is because I am not Tianjio Heavenly Dragon, who would leave his friend behind to fend alone." Tian Long froze, and Shi Lang sensed that his words had poked the open wound in the heart of the former. He continued, "Young Master Shun admired you and happily took that step back then. I know very well that he was the one who asked you to leave under the pursuit, but if I were in your place, I would have died alongside him. You are alive, and the friendship between the two of you still lives on. Do not think too much, not matter how much I love Fairy Moon Jade, or she prefers me over you. Once you die from cultivation diversion, she will have to stay in seclusion for two years according to the Ling continent customs." Tian Long felt better when Shi Lang consoled him with the truth of the situation back then, but this bastard dared to say such a thing about his wife. This sent his blood pressure in a hyperventilating loop. The terran walked away, fearing a violent reaction from the old man. He was not wrong. As soon as he left the tent, Tian Long roared, "You bastard! One day I will kill you!" Everyone in the Dragon Army camp was shocked to hear such profanities from Tian Long. He was not someone who would easily lose his temper. Shi Lang came to the camp entrance and found Sovereign Zither Soul waiting for him there. He smiled and asked cheekily, "You still came to see me off? That old man will think I cucked him. He might surely kill me." Fairy Moon Jade smiled and said, "I will stay with him till the day he lives. That was our promise, and I will deliver that promise. Anyhow, I only came to say that just because the danger is not obvious, please keep your mind open and your senses trained." Shi Lang nodded and vanished from the gates with a wave of his hand. A lady stood beside Fairy Moon Jade and asked, "Your excellency, even if this guy is a strong young hero, how can he make such remarks to you? He has no respect for you guys." Fairy Moon Jade smiled and said, "You will not understand the reason, but if I am to say something in his defense is that he is family." The lady was shocked, she did not expect that young man to be family members with the two Immortal Sovereigns. She turned to look in the direction where Shi Lang vanished and said, "I wonder how he will deal with those people, Your Excellency." Fairy Moon Jade smiled and said, "The power dynamic of the central plains is about to change drastically. Follow the news in these following days."
