"Don't be nervous, Divine Master," Ying Sang reacted quickly and interrupted Wang Long. "When this elder came to our Alin Village, A-Yun was only four years old, so she wouldn't recognize him now."
"I see," Wang Long suppressed his killing intent. "Now that we have proven our identities, can we go in?"
"Wait!" The young deity at the front raised a hand to block their way. "Just now, this woman called you Divine Master! What's going on? Are you also a deity? Which faction are you from? You look unfamiliar!"
Wang Long's mind raced. Initially suspecting that this young man was a deity from some faction, he had been thinking about how to handle the challenges of his identity being exposed. In this urgent moment, he could only take a risk and respond, "You're just someone who's never seen much! I am from the Holy Divine Gate! What? Didn't that Old Man just call you Divine Master? Which faction are you from?"
"What! Holy Divine Gate!"
It seemed that Cai Burin's claims about their status in the divine realm were not entirely exaggerated.
Whether or not they were the so-called "authentic deities" was unprovable, but it was enough to stun the people opposite them, including the previously arrogant deity.
"What? I can't be from the Holy Divine Gate? Or does anyone here have an objection?" Ying Sang and the others looked at Wang Long with confusion, not understanding why he suddenly changed his demeanor. Where was the calm commander they knew? He seemed more like a reckless brute now.
However, considering the arrogance of their opponents, perhaps Wang Long intended to pressure them. With that thought, they felt relieved and hoped Wang Long would give their village a good show of strength.
Little did they know that Wang Long was merely mimicking Cai Burin's demeanor without any real understanding.
People tend to gather with those of similar kinds; he didn't know if everyone in the Holy Divine Gate acted this way, but at least it wouldn't hurt to learn from a genuine member of the Holy Divine Gate.
"No, that's not it." The young deity clearly showed anger in his eyes, but he didn't even know the opponent's strength. Not to mention that his faction didn't even have the qualifications to challenge someone from the Holy Divine Gate! "It's just an honor to meet a master from the Holy Divine Gate here; I'm very surprised. When did the Holy Divine Gate start taking an interest in talents from such small places?"
The young man spoke too bluntly in an attempt to extricate himself, directly offending both Alin Village and Fire Village.
—If you look down on people from our "small place," then why are you even here? Did someone invite you?
"That's not right; we treat all talents equally regardless of where they come from. As long as they have talent and are willing to work hard, they are good disciples!"
Compared to that, Wang Long's words were equally straightforward, but they sounded much better than those of Mad Kid. The elder from Fire Village and Ying Sang showed pleased expressions simultaneously.
Forget it, anyway, Wang Long had a good impression of Cai Burin, so he might as well do some positive promotion for their Holy Divine Gate.
"Exactly," the young god clan member awkwardly nodded in agreement. With his prideful nature, he had never suffered such a loss before, but now he could only endure it for the time being!
Wang Long felt relieved; he initially thought it would be difficult to disguise his identity in front of this genuine god clan expert, but unexpectedly, the sign he borrowed still shone brightly. This kid didn't even have the courage to question him.
"Alright! I've already revealed my identity, so don't think you can just take advantage of me! You haven't introduced yourself yet!"
Wang Long was now acting increasingly assertive, which matched his identity and character. The more dominant he appeared, the less likely he would raise others' suspicions!
"I am Li Tianxing, a disciple of the Twin Sword Sect."
"Twin Sword Sect!" Wang Long had certainly never heard of this name, but from his reaction and identity, he could infer something. "Hmph! A sect whose name I’ve never heard of; I really don’t know how this village would host you!"
"You are from the Twin Sword Sect!" Ying Sang's voice turned cold upon hearing the name.
"What? Do you recognize this sect?" Wang Long's heart sank; he hoped he hadn't overdone it. What if they were actually a powerful sect? That would be troublesome.
"Of course I recognize it!" Ying Sang's voice carried a hint of chill. "It was them, the Twin Sword Sect, who tried to force our Alin Village to submit, wanting to forcibly recruit disciples and block off the mountain road!"
"Oh?" Wang Long looked at the young man again, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Your Excellency plays the part quite well. How could our Holy Divine Gate be interested in such disciples? Yet you Twin Sword Sect are even worse, using such shameless tactics. I'm curious how Fire Village allows you to stay here."
"Ahem, that’s all just a misunderstanding. This Holy Divine Gate member, we shouldn't dwell on sect backgrounds right now. With great enemies looming ahead, it's wiser to unite and cooperate to overcome this crisis."
"Great enemies looming ahead?" Wang Long asked in surprise. "What? Are there other enemies besides you?"
"Here's the situation." Although Wang Long hadn’t truly criticized Fire Village, they had just stood on the same side as Li Tianxing. "Originally, we in Fire Village suffered just like Alin Village from their Twin Sword Sect cutting off our transportation routes. However, then an even more terrifying enemy appeared. We don’t know where these Demon Clan came from; at that time we were engaged in a battle with Twin Sword Sect when we were suddenly surrounded by them, forcing us to set aside our previous grievances and join forces to face this crisis."
"Is that so? Then can I say that those Demon Clan saved your lives? Luckily, you didn't fall into my hands. Hmph, you Minor Sect are really getting more and more outrageous!"
Ying Sang and the others looked at Wang Long, nearly bursting into laughter. He had once been mistaken for a disciple of the Minor Sect trying to snatch a child, and now he was putting on such an imposing front, fully immersed in the role.
"Hmph!" After all, they were also members of the divine race. Even though they knew Wang Long's 'sect' was much stronger, they still gave him enough face. How could they let him continue to teach them a lesson? If that happened, their Twin Sword Sect would really be finished! "Your Excellency's lesson can wait for another time. Don't forget that the Demon Clan is our common enemy; we should focus our attention on them first! We tried to contact the surrounding divine races, but we don't know what kind of evil methods they used to block the flow of Primordial Energy around the village. Our signals couldn't get out at all. Now that we've already engaged in battle once and the enemy's strength is formidable, if we continue to fight among ourselves, we'll end up as fertilizer for these demons!"
Li Tianxing knew that internal strife was the most taboo among the divine races, so he placed this blame here. If Wang Long continued to rely on his 'sect' to bully others, then with this righteous cause behind them, they wouldn't need to be polite anymore. They could just kill him here; later on, if anyone asked, they would have an explanation.
"Uh? So you're saying you've already clashed with those Demon Clan? What experts do they have? What are their characteristics? Do you know their purpose for this action?"
Wang Long was not someone who would give him the chance to stand on equal footing; he directly ignored his words and asked about the situation with the Demon Clan.
On the surface, it seemed like he prioritized the bigger picture and accepted the other's proposal, but he didn't even give a verbal promise— in other words, whether they were allies or not depended entirely on Wang Long's word. Even if they dealt with those Demon Clan now, he could still turn around and deal with them later.
Moreover, Wang Long's tone when asking questions was like a superior interrogating a subordinate.
Even so, Li Tianxing could only lament that Wang Long's backing was too strong for him to even qualify to contend with him. Fortunately, it seemed that this time Holy Divine Gate only sent one person over. Judging by his age, his strength shouldn't be too great either. With a few of them working together, he believed they could overpower him!
