The moment that those words reached Tianlong Yun's ears, he immediately expanded the Laws of Blood and Fierceness in the surroundings.
At that moment, Patriarch Muto and all the shadows protecting him felt like they were suddenly transported into a dimension of blood, and negative emotions.
They were completely stupefied at something like this. Something that they had never seen or experienced before was happening right in front of them, and they didn't know what to think of it.
The only one who had a slightly different reaction was Patriarch Muto who felt like he had been shown something extremely beneficial to himself but had no idea what.
Still, everything lasted only for a moment, as the next one Tianlong Yun retracted the laws, and looked at the old man calmly and composed,
"You were saying!?"
The Patriarch and his guards were lost in the feelings of a moment ago when they were awakened from their stupor due to Tianlong Yun's words.
"W-Wh-What is that?"
"Let me guess, you felt like this was going to be beneficial for you in order to proceed with your path, didn't you?"
"Th-Tha-That…"
"You don't have to lie to me or try to get anything out of me through your smarts Patriarch, as I never thought of keeping it a secret or not telling you!
You are extremely right, what I just showed you right now is one of the prerequisites for the next Realm that you have wished so much until now.
Laws!"
"What?"
"People call them many names, concepts, laws, principles and so much more. The main idea is that you need to know how the world works around you and find your breaking point in using the world.
If you want a simpler image, whatever you have done until now is you moving around in your house, what you have to do now is find the door to the outside and join the outside world.
That door, is your principle, your law, or your concept that you use to become part of that wide world!"
The Patriarch had to think for quite some time before he realized something and said,
"Then have you reached the next realm?"
"Me!? No, I still have quite some way to reach that border!"
"Then how? And why did it seem like you had more than one law in your aura?"
"Well, one doesn't need age to get out of the house, as long as he finds the door and is able to open it!
As for the second part, who said that one could only have one door to get out of his house. There are an infinite number of them, as long as you are capable that is!"
Hearing those words Patriarch Muto feel in deep contemplation of what Tianlong Yun told him, and Tianlong Yun didn't disturb him, he just continued to drink his tea in silence.
It was only after some time that the Patriarch started speaking once again, and said,
"Then can you teach me your laws to me?"
"Sigh~! Everyone is like this, seeking for the shortest and easiest path towards the goal.
Sure, I can teach laws to you, but you would have to spend a lot of time to understand and comprehend them.
After all, my Laws aren't suitable for you, since the Arts you train are much different from mine!
Knowing that, would you still wish for me to teach you my Laws? And that is even before hearing my price, as you will have to bleed and cough quite some blood.
At the end of the day, you are asking for my deepest secrets!"
Not necessarily, as the Blood Law, and Fierceness Law were just two extra laws that Tianlong Yun wielded but he wouldn't admit that in front of Patriarch Muto.
On the other hand, Patriarch Muto was in an extremely disturbed mood. As whatever had happened just now was something totally unexpected.
He had come here in order to take off the head of the new organization that the two siblings had created, and later to try and recruit them into his Clan through various means.
But who would have expected something like this! Right now there was something that he wanted to confirm though, as he asked,
"Young man you are talking about price and blood, but what makes you think that I will just accept your terms and let you leave, after everything you just said to me!"
"Hahahhaa~! Old man, you are truly funny! Even at this age, you know how to crack good jokes! I assume is due to the experience.
Just careful though, as your jokes might dampen my mood at some point, and forget about keeping me here, you will wish to see me out!"
Tianlong Yun said those last words in such a tone that they seemed nothing short of a stated fact. There was confidence in those words, so much that it might seem like arrogance.
But that was the truth after all, in order to keep him in one place, one would have to seal space, or at least 50% of his inner energy on a permanent basis.
Otherwise, the escape was only one thought away for him!
For some odd reason, Patriarch Muto didn't seem to doubt those words. Furthermore, Tianlong Yun didn't seem stupid, and only a stupid guy would enter the tiger's den without an escape plan.
In fact, it didn't matter anymore, whether Tianlong Yun had a plan of escape, or the abilities to do so or not, as the seed of doubt had already been planted on Patriarch Muto's head.
With that out of the way, Patriarch Muto felt that they had more important things to discuss at the moment, so he could only change the topic once again,
"Then what do you think is the appropriate law for me young man?"
"Aren't you being a bit too greedy old man?"
"Huh!? What do you mean?"
"Everything has been too one-sided until now, as I have had to show my strength, and also guide you upon something that you so vitally require, but there has been nothing in exchange for me!
Don't you think this is a bit unfair?"
"What do you want?"
"There are many things that I want old man, but I don't think that you can give them to me!
What I request from you, is that we reach a good deal for both of us, and you stop using these cheap tricks towards my people!
Do you think that my two little brothers would actually come to your camp if something happens to me?
Not only that, but you also involved your illegitimate daughter in all this mess, don't you think that you are playing your trumpet a bit too much?"
"Youu…"
The one to talk this time wasn't Patriarch Muto but one of the guards by his side, who was forced to shut it the moment that he saw Tianlong Yun's face darken.
"Don't get me wrong Patriarch Muto, I didn't say these things to show my discontent towards you, that is something that belongs to me!
I just wanted to show my knowledge of them, so that we could have a much simpler and smoother deal to negotiate, without trying to cover our lies and secrets!
Don't you think it's better like this?"
Patriarch Muto didn't say anything, as he just looked at Tianlong Yun with a serious and composed look, but only he knew just how startled and shocked he was at that moment.
Tianlong Yun took his silence for confirmation, and continued,
"Well, since we were able to clear this part then I can tell you about my requests old man!
What I want is really simple actually!
I will provide you the strength you need to oppose the other families and help you against them and the powerful organizations backing them, while you let my people grow and participate in the battles.
Of course, all this won't be for free! As I will have you pay with some resources I need, and that I am unable to put in my hands!
What do you think about it?"
"Your proposal seems too good to be true young man, it makes people think that there might be something wrong with it!"
"Well, wouldn't life be boring if there weren't dangers old man? Certainly, this deal is available only up to the time that you have similar strength to me!
Should either one of us fall, I think that it is extremely clear what will happen, right? Especially since you will have to fight those families almost by yourself, as I have no plan to personally take part!"
"It seems like you are trying to become just another sword on my neck young man, why should I accept your offer?"
"That is because I am the only one who can help you to take the next step, and also the only one who is willing to extend his hand towards you, that doesn't challenge your views and morals.
The way I see it, my offer is like giving coal in a truly cold winter!"
"You say some truly interesting things, young man! But I think that you are more dangerous to me than those other fogies, and those greedy wolves out there!"
"It's not wrong to assume that old man! After all, I am a young wolf whose blood boils the most and wants the most to grow.
But you should remember my first words, the definition that we have of the world is extremely different!"
"You mean…"
"I mean nothing! Now is that a yes, or a no?"
The moment that those words reached Tianlong Yun's ears, he immediately expanded the Laws of Blood and Fierceness in the surroundings.
At that moment, Patriarch Muto and all the shadows protecting him felt like they were suddenly transported into a dimension of blood, and negative emotions.
