Chapter 0333: Are You Deaf?!

Thomas didn’t expect Arnold to come and “join in the fun” as well. After a moment of surprise, he said cheerfully, “Brother Arnold is coming too?”
If Arnold got involved in this matter, then even the Huang Long group wouldn’t be to be feared, no matter their status.
What was Arnold’s status? He was a direct descendant of the Runing family, with the entire Runing family backing him. In the entire Netherworld, few dared to ignore the Runing family.
Arnold nodded and smiled, “I have nothing to do anyway. I also want to see if these guys have lost their minds for daring to provoke our Lord God Army. As the captain of the Lord God Army, I naturally need to look into this.”
Since the Huang Long trio had no significant background, Arnold doing this was also a favor to Thomas. Moreover, with fierce competition among the direct descendants of the Runing family, having a few friends with some status could benefit his position within the family. Of course, the most important thing was still his own strength.
Thomas smiled, and the two exchanged a few polite words.
“Brother Arnold, I heard you’ve gotten the chance to enter the Ancestral Dragon Pool?” Thomas asked tentatively, intrigued.
Arnold was momentarily stunned before smiling, “It’s nothing much. But before entering the Ancestral Dragon Pool, I still need to go through trials first.”
Thomas beamed, “Heh, just trials—just a formality. It shouldn’t be a problem for you, Brother Arnold. Once you enter the Ancestral Dragon Pool and undergo its baptism, your strength will surely increase greatly. You might even become a squadron leader by then. Congratulations! Don’t forget your brother then.” Thomas spoke from the heart. With his current level of Fifth Rank King of the Netherworld, after being baptized in the Ancestral Dragon Pool, he should be able to reach Sixth Rank King of the Netherworld in no time. At that level, becoming a squadron leader wouldn’t be a problem.
Arnold smiled, “Of course.” Though he appeared humble, he couldn’t hide his pride.
Not all direct descendants of the family had the chance to enter the Ancestral Dragon Pool—they needed the family’s approval. He, Arnold, had also worked hard for many years to get this opportunity.
The Ancestral Dragon Pool was a goal that all direct descendants of the Runing family strived for.
……
Huang Long stayed in Taihua City for a year. After that, he set off with Li Yifeng toward the Runing Mansion.

The two went to Luning Mansion, while the Sea God Apton stayed at the Green Dragon Villa in Taihua City. Although Apton wanted to follow Huang Long, he knew that accompanying him would cause inconvenience to Huang Long. Before leaving, Huang Long gave him 100 billion divine stones, enough to keep the Green Dragon Villa running. After all, the hundreds of lower-ranking divine servants there also required expenses. Huang Long and Li Yifeng left Taihua City without immediately summoning their top-grade flying immortal weapons; instead, they headed toward the Bulu Mountains, not far from Taihua City. The reason? Naturally, to lure them out. Having stayed in Taihua City for a year while Thomas investigated him, Huang Long was aware of this. Now, they intended to create an opportunity for Thomas—and, of course, for themselves as well. “Haha, Brother Huang Long, how long do you think it will take before Thomas arrives?” Li Yifeng asked with a smile after they settled in the Bulu Mountains. Huang Long replied, “He’s on his way.” Using his Heavenly Vision, he saw that Thomas was leading his men toward them. To his surprise, there was also someone at his side with the strength of a fifth-level Underworld King, dressed in the same uniform as a squad leader in the Main God’s army. “Oh, he’s coming?” Li Yifeng became excited, his eyes gleaming. “Yes, three hundred people, plus another squad leader,” Huang Long said. “Another squad leader?” Li Yifeng paused briefly before laughing. “That kid really wants to die without dragging anyone along, huh?” Huang Long smiled but said nothing more. The two stood there, waiting quietly for their opponent’s arrival. Outside the gates of Taihua City, Thomas said to Arnold, “Huang Hai and Li Qingfeng have finally left the city.” This year had seemed like an eternity to Thomas. Arnold replied, “A year isn’t long. People can’t resist the temptations of the outside world. Though they know the main city is safe, they still want to come out and see it.” “That’s why not many people can survive in the Underworld,” Thomas said with a smile. “It’s a shame there’s still one staying at the Green Dragon Villa. We’ll have to wait until next time. First, we need to deal with Huang Hai and Li Qingfeng.” Thomas looked disappointed. Arnold nodded. “Where did they go?” Thomas turned to ask one of his subordinates. “Reporting to you, sir, they headed toward the Bulu Mountains,” replied a member of the Main God’s army. “The Bulu Mountains? What are they doing there?” Arnold asked, puzzled.

Thomas laughed and said, “Let them go wherever they want. The Bull Mountains would be better—it’s more convenient there.” Few people traveled to the Bull Mountains, so they could do as they pleased once they got there.
Arnold said nothing more.
Before long, Thomas, Arnold, and the others lived up to Huang Long and Li Yifeng’s expectations and gradually came into sight of the two.
“Hehe, they’re here,” Li Yifeng said with a grin as he saw them appear.
Thomas, Arnold, and the others also spotted Huang Long and Li Yifeng from afar. Seeing them standing there as if waiting for something, they were taken aback.
“Could these two kids be waiting for us on purpose?” Thomas asked jokingly.
Arnold frowned.
Could these two really be waiting for them specifically?!
Did they know they were coming? And still dare to wait here?
“Be careful; something’s not right,” Arnold warned. For some reason, the closer they got, the more uneasy he became.
Seeing Arnold’s expression, Thomas was startled before nodding.
Soon, Thomas and the others reached the mountain peak where Huang Long and Li Yifeng were standing.
Thomas signaled his subordinates, who understood and surrounded Huang Long and Li Yifeng.
“Huang Hai, Li Qingfeng, right?” Thomas chuckled mischievously. “You knew we were coming and still waited here? Do you plan to beg me to spare you?”
He had already sent his men to investigate and confirmed that there were no other ambushers in the area.
Arnold looked at Huang Long and Li Yifeng in confusion. He really couldn’t figure out what their advantage was.
Two Mid-Level Gods? One in the late stage of Mid-Level God, and the other probably at the peak? Here, almost half of them were at or above the late stage of Mid-Level God. Those who could join the Main God’s army were all strong, usually at the late stage of Mid-Level God.
Huang Long didn’t answer Thomas but turned to Arnold. “Are you from the Luning family?”
The pure dragon bloodline within Arnold didn’t escape Huang Long’s notice.
Arnold was stunned, frowned, then nodded. “That’s correct.” But he found it strange—how did the other party know he would come with Thomas? Otherwise, how could they have known?
“You shouldn’t have come,” Huang Long said, shaking his head.
Huang Long’s identity couldn’t be revealed—no one here would survive.

At this moment, Thomas burst into laughter, looking at Huang Long and Li Yifeng with mockery. “Shouldn’t you be here? How funny. Did I hear that wrong, kid?”
The people of the Supreme God’s army around them also started laughing loudly.
Li Yifeng shook his head. “How did my father manage to gather a bunch of fools?”
Arnold frowned. “Father? What do you mean?”
Not only did Arnold not understand what Li Yifeng was saying, but Thomas and the rest of the Supreme God’s army members also didn’t get it. Thomas laughed and said, “Kid, what nonsense are you talking about? Is your father the great Supreme God?!”, then laughed again, prompting more laughter from the army.
The son of a Supreme God? A mid-tier god?
Their laughter was harsh.
Not only did Thomas and the others not believe that the son of a Supreme God could be a mid-tier god, but even Huang Long, when he first learned that Li Yifeng was the son of a Supreme God, couldn’t believe it either.
After all, although Li Yifeng was at the peak of mid-tier gods, he was still a mid-tier god—there was no doubt about that. It would be embarrassing to say that the son of a Supreme God was just a mid-tier god.
Back then, Li Yifeng had also helplessly explained to Huang Long that it might be because of the chaotic energy in his body, making it difficult for him to advance, even for his father, the Supreme God Nia, to do anything about it.
Arnold also shook his head with mockery.
Of course, he didn’t believe it either.
Not only did they not believe it, but probably few people in the Netherworld would believe it either.
“See, Brother Huang Long? I told you. Sometimes, even if you tell the truth, people may not believe you,” Li Yifeng said to Huang Long with a helpless smile.
By now, he no longer cared and used Huang Long’s real name.
“Huang Long? Aren’t you named Huang Hai?” Thomas was stunned for a moment before speaking. He couldn’t immediately recall who Huang Long was, while Arnold, hearing the name, also looked at Huang Long and Li Yifeng in surprise. Could it be that these two weren’t actually named Huang Hai and Li Qingfeng?
“Who said I’m named Huang Hai? Let me tell you, my name is Huang Hai!” Huang Long also smiled.
Thomas looked at Huang Long with a mocking expression, feeling angry, and sneered, “Whether you’re called Huang Long or Huang Hai, you’re going to die!”
At that moment, one of the members of the Supreme God’s army seemed to remember something, his expression changing. He looked at Huang Long in shock, then went over to Thomas and said, “Lord Thomas, is his name really Huang Long?!”

Thomas frowned and snapped, “Are you deaf?! Didn’t you hear him call him Yellow Dragon?!” However, as Thomas uttered Yellow Dragon’s name, he suddenly noticed that many of the main god army’s subordinates were looking at that Yellow Dragon with strange expressions, and the atmosphere became uneasy.
