Long Ao knew perfectly well what Duan Kai was implying.
He sneered inwardly, but his expression was indifferent as he said, "Brother Duan, I think it's utterly impossible for the Third Level Long Family to stay out of this."
"Sect Leader Long, what do you mean by that?"
"It's simple. The Third Level Long Family wants to sit on the sidelines and watch the fight. When we've crippled both the Netherworld Mansion and Piaomiao Palace, they'll swoop in and reap all the benefits."
Duan Kai saw it now.
In truth, he had already considered this possibility, but if the Third Level Long Family were to join the battle, it would be extremely disadvantageous for them.
"Sect Leader Long, if the Third Level Long Family, Piaomiao Palace, and the Netherworld Mansion team up, we'll be in deep trouble."
With a snort, Long Ao dismissed the concern.
