However, Wang Long's reaction speed was only slightly above that of Old Six. After showing just the right amount of panic, he continued, "After all this time, it turns out you are one of us! Hehe, I actually know a few elders from your Twin Sword Sect, like Wang Wuren and Cold Eagle. They are both highly skilled individuals whom I greatly admire!"
"Uh..." Old Six was momentarily stunned, not expecting such a turn of events. "You mean... you know some of our elders!"
"That's right! Back when I was in battle, I received help from Elder Cold Eagle. He even taught me a couple of moves. Although Elder Cold Eagle doesn't like to talk much, he is a respected elder. Of course, the other elders are no slouches either." Wang Long spoke confidently about the people from Twin Sword Sect, completely dazzling Old Six.
Initially, seeing that his junior brothers had already surrounded him, he was about to take action and join forces with them to eliminate this troublemaker. However, hearing that this person had a good relationship with several elders made him hesitate. If he were to kill someone important to the elders, it would be difficult to explain later.
There are no secrets that cannot be uncovered. Not to mention his junior brothers were not united; while they appeared respectful on the surface, they were actually affiliated with various factions, including loyalists of his senior brothers. This was something he could not take lightly.
"Uh, young brother, I didn't expect you to have such deep ties with our Twin Sword Sect. It seems we have an unspoken understanding without having fought yet. However, I would like to know which sect you belong to. Could you please tell me?"
"Hehe, that's not very convenient. But since I feel a connection with you, come closer and let me whisper," Wang Long deliberately made it difficult before speaking mysteriously.
"Alright then." Old Six did not want this secret shared with others and leaned closer to Wang Long.
At this moment, he had successfully let down his guard.
Perhaps he still had some confidence in his own strength; at least he believed that under the current circumstances, this mysterious person could never successfully ambush and kill him.
Wang Long truly had no intention of killing him; a dead person is of no use!
Just as Old Six leaned in closer, preparing to listen, he activated a small-scale illusion technique. The expression on Old Six's face suddenly turned to one of terror. However, before he could make any sound, he found himself plunged into a strange confusion.
The other disciples were completely unaware of what had just happened; they only saw their Sixth Senior Brother moving over to listen to the mysterious person speak. Then suddenly, Sixth Senior Brother erupted in fury.
"Giant Wind Slash!" A massive broadsword materialized from thin air—it was the signature treasure of their Sixth Senior Brother. With a horizontal slash, two junior brothers who failed to dodge were instantly turned into ghosts under the blade. The other disciples were equally shocked and hurriedly retreated. At that moment, they made a fatal mistake: no one paid attention to Wang Long's whereabouts!
"Clang!" After much effort, the three disciples finally managed to unleash their magical artifact to block Sixth Senior Brother's full-force strike. However, with their backs wide open, they were caught off guard by Wang Long's ambush and fell to the ground without even a moment to react, lifeless.
These individuals were already far inferior to Wang Long, not to mention that Old Six had completely drawn their attention, allowing Wang Long to maintain the advantage in his surprise attack.
After three successful strikes, Wang Long sighed lightly as the light of Thunder Element flashed in his hand, and soon Old Six also collapsed onto the ground.
The villagers of Alin Village watched in shock, their mouths agape. Aside from a few like Ying Sang, who had witnessed Wang Long's true power, and some children like A-Yun, who had no impression of such strength, the rest were left in absolute astonishment.
The powerful beings from the divine clan who had just ruthlessly slaughtered their entire village's fighting force and nearly exhausted them were effortlessly taken down by a single individual?
Fear stemmed from ignorance. The villagers could not comprehend Wang Long's identity and looked at him with expressions of horror, unsure of what he would do after killing these divine clan experts—there was no rule in the divine realm stating that someone who killed their enemies would necessarily be their ally.
"Everyone..."
"Ah! Don't come any closer! If you do, we won't hold back!" The nearest warrior trembled so much that he could barely keep his weapon steady and almost dropped it. "Everyone, quickly kill him! Kill him!"
"Don't move!" Ying Sang was startled and quickly stepped forward, giving the babbling warrior a swift blow to the head. "Everyone, don't misunderstand! This person is here to save us, and he is someone we all know!"
"Heh heh, I didn't expect you to be so observant even in this situation," Wang Long laughed heartily as he removed the rag covering his face.
"Ah, Divine Master!" Although there had been some misunderstanding between Wang Long and the villagers of Alin Village at first, once the misunderstanding was cleared up, they quickly accepted him. Of course, his title as a disciple of the "Holy Sword Sect" was quite misleading.
"So it's Divine Master!"
"Divine Master, are you here specifically to save us? Thank you so much!"
Wang Long no longer had to worry about being misunderstood, but he was a bit concerned that he might suffocate from the enthusiastic embraces of the villagers.
"Alright! Everyone, please disperse!"
After much effort, Ying Sang finally managed to persuade the crowd to step back and brought an elderly man with white hair to Wang Long's side. Although Wang Long had only met the village chief of Alin Village once before, he recognized him immediately.
"Divine Master..."
"Haha, Village Chief, I have mentioned before that I am just an ordinary disciple. You calling me Divine Master is too much; you can just call me Wang Long." Wang Long interrupted the village chief's formalities.
Previously, when Wang Long first infiltrated the divine realm, he was uncertain about many things and allowed them to address him as such to avoid raising suspicion. However, now he was ready to reveal his true identity at any moment. In other words, his identity could be exposed at any time, and if they continued to call him that until they learned the truth, it might lead to feelings of deception. So Wang Long decided to lay the groundwork first.
"Haha, well then, Your Excellency, we are truly unable to repay your great kindness to Alin Village. And with your power, we cannot be of much help either. However, we will certainly obey your commands in the future!"
Although Wang Long said this and the Old Village Chief agreed, the long-standing reverence for divine beings was deeply ingrained in their hearts, making the Old Village Chief's words sound particularly awkward.
Nevertheless, their enthusiasm was still evident.
