"Wow! Divine Master is amazing!" After their first victory, especially against such a powerful enemy, everyone was very happy, particularly Little Tiger and A-Yun, who clapped and gathered around Wang Long.
"Alright, enough of the celebration," Wang Long said soothingly, waving his hand. "Ying Sang, didn't you say earlier that this mountain path was blocked by a medium-sized force from the divine clan? How could so many demons suddenly appear?"
"I don't know either," Ying Sang replied, at a loss for words in front of so many demons.
Although the appearance of these demons confirmed what she had told Wang Long earlier that night, their strength and scale were far less than that of the battle forty years ago. However, since so many demons could appear here without a sound, it was not entirely impossible that a larger demon Army could be lurking.
"Forget it. I feel that as long as we keep moving forward, this mystery will eventually be unraveled. How is everyone doing? Is anyone injured?"
The group checked their conditions. The battle did not last long, and all eight of them had been on the defensive. Only one Iron-armed Man had sustained some injuries from being surrounded by multiple Demon Clan members due to his reckless charge. The others, including Little Tiger and A-Yun, were all fine.
"They shouldn't attack us again tonight. Ying Sang, go keep watch just in case. The rest of you check for any surviving demons under these boulders. If there are any left alive, give them a finishing blow."
"Understood!"
The others naturally had no objections.
If it weren't for Wang Long accompanying them during this battle, they would have surely faced total annihilation. After this encounter, including Ying Sang, everyone held even more respect for Wang Long, viewing him as their village leader.
There were still quite a few demons left, but fortunately, they seemed to have lost their ability to fight back. Even though A-Yun and the others were using spells they hadn't fully mastered yet, they could easily dispatch the remaining demons, whose corpses posed no further threat. This left Wang Long deep in thought.
Eliminating these remaining enemies did not take much effort. Although Wang Long used the Earth Dragon Technique to cause a landslide, he had calculated precisely so that the rubble only piled up on one side of the mountain path, with most of it rolling down outside. Now half of the mountain path remained clear. If they could clear this route, this minor obstacle would not affect their convoy; as for the boulders, they could find time later to clean them up.
The next day, the convoy continued its journey.
This time even Wang Long dared not be overly confident. Although he was eager to solve the various mysteries in his mind and return to the real world as soon as possible, the sudden appearance of so many Demon Clan members yesterday made him cautious. If they saw that their strength far exceeded what he had prepared for and then sought reinforcements, he couldn't guarantee he would be able to protect everyone in the next battle.
Although this operation was merely a means for Wang Long, he was not like the Human Emperor or demons who could coldly watch others sacrifice themselves for their own purposes.
However, it is also possible that this was already the full strength of the Demon Clan's operation this time. In the following days, they encountered not even half an enemy, and there was no sign of the divine beings described by Ying Sang and others.
The further they went, the more Wang Long felt that the mountain path was difficult to traverse. Just like the legends of Alin Village, it was said that a vast divine being had cleaved a straight path through the mountains with divine power. Therefore, the further they traveled, the harder the road became. Eventually, it became apparent that those mountain paths were carved out by human effort.
Just when Wang Long thought there would be no way forward, a glimmer of hope appeared; ahead, the path opened up, and they finally emerged from the mountain range!
"We've arrived!" Ying Sang pointed ahead. "Divine Master, look at that field over there; just a bit further west is Fire Village."
Wang Long nodded. Even without Ying Sang's guidance, his keen eyesight could see that village, a beautiful sight akin to a secluded paradise. It was clear that although this village was not as large as the oasis of Alin Village, its living conditions were far superior.
However, amidst that serene and pleasant scenery, Wang Long felt an undercurrent of hostility.
"Don't let your guard down. You have had no contact with this village for a long time; no one knows what changes have occurred there. Everyone stay alert; if you encounter enemies, sound the alarm immediately!"
This time, Wang Long did not walk at the forefront but positioned himself between A-Yun and the two children. Clearly, Ying Sang and her companions understood the situation in this village better; this knowledge was more important than strength in their current circumstances.
"There is murderous intent!"
Not far away, a branch of a large tree shook as a figure leaped into view.
"Who goes there!"
Seeing that the other party did not immediately attack but instead asked for their identity first, Wang Long did not rush to act but waited to see how Ying Sang would handle them.
"We are from Alin Village, delivering goods to you. I am Ying Sang; who is in charge of receiving guests in your village?"
"Alin Village?" Although Ying Sang had stated their name, the other party did not seem to relax and continued to watch them warily. "Isn't the mountain road from Alin Village already sealed off? No caravans have come through for months; how did you get here?"
"Well..." Ying Sang glanced back at Wang Long. Whether or not she could reveal his presence was not something she could decide alone. "We have our ways. In fact, we encountered an ambush by demons and were fortunate enough to make it through."
"Hmph! I see, you are just the Demon Clan in disguise, aren't you? Don't think we can't see through your tricks just because you have many of them."
Ying Sang frowned, angered by the other party's behavior of labeling them without any evidence. "I already said, as long as you bring your envoy here, he knows us. If you keep pestering us here, perhaps you are the ones transformed by demons. We might even ask if you have already killed the people of this village."
"Hmph! Smooth talker!" The big man snorted coldly but knew that Ying Sang was right. He immediately took out a signal flare and launched it into the air.
Before long, countless auras approached their direction, and Wang Long secretly heightened his vigilance.
"What is going on down here? Wu Fan, why did you release the warning signal?"
"Reporting to Elder, these people claim to be from Alin Village and hope to ask the Elder to identify them." Wu Fan, facing the newcomers, no longer had any arrogance and quickly bowed in greeting.
"Hmph! How is that possible? The direction of Alin Village has long been blocked by the Demon Clan. No one can pass; did they fly down from the sky?"
"Divine Master, please do not act impulsively. They indeed are from Alin Village."
Wang Long and others were moved and unconsciously focused on the young man at the forefront.
The old man behind had called him "Divine Master"! Could it be that he is also...
"Hmph! The Demon Clan acts strangely; who knows if they will use some secret method to disguise themselves so well that we can't find any flaws? We should not let our guard down."
"Uh, what you say is very true, Divine Master. Otherwise, I can go ask them a few questions to see if these Arsen Villagers can answer correctly. That way, we will be more assured." The elder showed great respect towards the young man, indicating that his identity was certainly extraordinary and likely belonged to another powerful faction!
"Alright, go ahead."
The two of them were engaged in their own discussion, seemingly not considering Wang Long and others at all.
"Are you Ying Sang?"
Everyone was speechless...
Not only Wang Long and his group, but even the warriors from their own village looked at him as if they were about to spit.
Who asks for an answer before questioning someone?
"I... do," Ying Sang replied, feeling embarrassed.
"Then does your family have a daughter named..."
"Wait a minute!" The young divine being quickly interrupted him, feeling like he was about to lose his mind. "Let me ask! What is your daughter's name!"
"Her name is A-Yun." Ying Sang's expression became more natural; finally, he encountered someone normal.
"That's correct, her name is indeed A-Yun. I saw that little girl the last time I took our village's caravan to Alin Village."
"What!" Wang Long suddenly became tense, exuding a murderous aura, which immediately alerted the other party.
