"That's right, it's the Head of the Li Family, one of the Four Great Families of Dragon City, and also one of the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons! Surprised, aren't you? Haha, such a high-ranking person actually came to me voluntarily to be my inside man!"
Wang Long shivered outside the tent, unable to help but grip the canvas tightly.
"Of course, he has his own motives; how could I not see that? He simply wants to use my power to weaken the lord's faction, and then naturally let the Li Family grow larger, with himself as the leader."
"However, we are mutually using each other, each benefiting in our own way, and soon we reached an agreement. That's why everything has gone so smoothly. Haha, it seems the day I realize my ambitions is not far off!"
Jiang Xue's face turned pale, devoid of color, and she suddenly shouted, "But you all have failed, haven't you?! The power of the leader exceeds your imagination; your plan to attack Dragon City has still not succeeded!"
The clan leader glanced at her and coldly snorted, "It seems sending you into Dragon City from a young age was not a good choice. Have you really turned against us and sided with Dragon City? How dare you oppose your own mother?!"
Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "I have never held any hostility towards Dragon City. Even when you sent me there, it was merely for me to cultivate; in the end, it was only to search for clues about my father."
The clan leader sneered, "Regardless, do you think we have lost? Quite the opposite; our plan is going far more smoothly than expected!"
"There was a sudden appearance of an Azure Robed Man who disrupted our plans; however, it turns out he is actually helping us. Although I don't know who he is, I must thank him..."
Jiang Xue replied, "Even if he fought against the leader and exhausted his strength, in the end he still defeated you and the two envoys, didn't he? At this point, do you still have any hope?"
The clan leader glared at her and smashed the wooden table in front of him into pieces with a loud bang. "You ungrateful girl! How dare you betray us!"
"Hmph! But if you think this is the end, you're truly naive!"
"Our original plan was to engage in this battle to exhaust the leader's strength; however, it seems that by now... the Li Family will instigate a rebellion within Dragon City and completely eradicate the leader's faction!"
Wang Long felt a stir in his heart and thought, could it be that the Li Family has already rebelled at this moment?!
"Of course, their plan is to have me and the Dragon Head suffer mutual destruction, allowing the Li Family to reap the benefits. However... hahaha, do they think I would make it so easy for them? I will arrange for my soldiers to be stationed here, and after the rebellion, regardless of which side wins, Dragon City will inevitably be weaker than ever! At that time, I will launch a full-scale attack, and the entire Dragon City will fall into my hands!"
Jiang Xue was speechless for a while, trembling slightly as she said, "So... you had already decided to retreat and are waiting for a new opportunity here!"
The clan leader sneered, "Does Li Mo Yuan think that his little scheme is invisible to others? Who can laugh last is still uncertain!"
Jiang Xue suddenly turned around and was about to leave.
"Where do you think you're going?!" The clan leader shouted loudly.
"You little brat, do you want to report to the Dragon Head and stop your own mother? Eating from both sides, I raised such a daughter for nothing!"
Jiang Xue replied coldly, "When did you ever raise me? I grew up in Dragon City."
The clan leader was taken aback and momentarily felt an impulse to kill Jiang Xue; however, he restrained himself and sneered, "Alright, indeed my good daughter! But do you think that after hearing so much from me, you can leave here so easily?!"
With a wave of his right hand, before Jiang Xue could react, a vine suddenly appeared and tightly wrapped around her. The thorns on the vine immediately pierced into Jiang Xue's body, causing blood to flow out.
"You little brat, do you actually think Dragon City is more important than your own mother like that old man of yours?! Fine, I'll let you see the final outcome of Dragon City! Hmph, I won't kill you; I will let you witness its destruction with your own eyes!"
"Someone! Take this girl away and keep a close watch on her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two dull thuds were heard from outside the tent as two bodies fell heavily to the ground.
"Who are you?!"
The clan leader was taken aback, and as the tent flap opened, Wang Long rushed in. With a swift motion, he slashed down with his knife, the sound of slicing echoed as he cut the vines that were entangling Jiang Xue into several pieces, which fell to the ground.
"You..." Jiang Xue exclaimed upon seeing Wang Long.
"Did you think I would let you come here alone to take risks?" Wang Long replied lightly.
"Who do you think you are?! How dare you intrude into my Main Tent? You have quite the nerve!" The clan leader regained her composure and sneered.
Wang Long chuckled softly, "Greetings, clan leader. I am Wang Long from Dragon City. We should have a proper discussion, but I'm pressed for time right now. I'll have to take Jiang Xue with me!"
With that, he moved like a gust of wind out of the Main Tent, pulling Jiang Xue along as they dashed outside.
The clan leader was momentarily stunned, not expecting Wang Long to possess such speed. It was understandable; he appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. Even if he were a genius, breaking through five or six Dragon Veins would already be considered top-tier.
She could never have imagined that Wang Long had already broken through Eight Dragon Veins at this moment!
Thus, in that brief moment of shock, Wang Long had already pulled Jiang Xue out and quickly disappeared from her sight.
"Someone, chase after them!"
At the clan leader's command, the order seemed to resonate within a hundred meters, and everyone immediately sprang into action.
Wang Long furrowed his brow, knowing that escaping alone wouldn't be a problem. However, with Jiang Xue injured and in tow... those vines were definitely poisonous.
Just as they rushed out for more than ten zhang, a team of over a hundred people immediately surrounded Wang Long.
Wang Long steeled his heart, set Jiang Xue down, and shouted loudly, like a thunderclap in the night sky. With both palms striking out, Thunderlight surged forth, and the sound of thunder roared continuously, as if a tiger had entered a flock of sheep, scattering the soldiers in disarray.
At this moment, he had broken through to become a master of the Eight Dragon Veins, akin to a Left Envoy of the Serpent Clan. How could these ordinary soldiers withstand him?!
Although Jiang Xue was somewhat dazed at this moment, she still mustered her strength to step forward. With a dark sword in hand, she swung it chaotically, which made the soldiers wary and reluctant to approach easily.
However, Wang Long knew that being on their territory meant that fighting alone would not solve the problem. He immediately signaled Jiang Xue with his eyes.
Jiang Xue understood and let out a low shout, releasing a burst of light that forced all the enemies blocking their way back by more than a zhang. The two grabbed each other's hands and dashed toward an open area.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Suddenly, as if falling from the sky, a figure dressed in gray landed fiercely, immediately unleashing a palm strike that came crashing down towards the two of them.
Upon hearing the voice, Wang Long recognized it was Qu Chi, the Left Envoy of the Serpent Clan, and thought to himself that it was bad news.
