"Above us Ordinary Elders, there are the Elite Elders and the Sect Leader composed of Great Divine Powers! Their strength is absolutely worlds apart from ours. I have fought against several of those elders before, and it was a far cry from being equal. That is also the reason why I have been dedicated to martial arts for so many years, constantly seeking to improve my strength and challenging powerful opponents. However, I was unfortunately fooled by those old geezers! They sent me off to the Great Gobi, claiming that it was a terrifying place that would toughen me up! How many years did I spend there? Aside from you, and that Human Emperor you mentioned, as well as a master from the Third Realm, I hardly encountered any worthy opponents! What a huge loss!"
Speaking of his subsequent troubles, although Cai Burin had considered them, he seemed not to take them too seriously. If it weren't for the enormous trouble he faced this time, which even affected his sect, Wang Long suspected he might have even stepped forward to fight those experts who came to besiege him. Yet he was instead preoccupied with this "small matter."
"I don't see it that way. I think those elders from your Holy Divine Gate are quite right; the harsh environment of the Great Gobi is indeed a place that toughens people. Not to mention, Brother Cai's unyielding nature now—could it be unrelated to his long time spent there? And during such a long period, he must have experienced quite a few sandstorms and similar challenges, not just once or twice, right? These trials are all encounters that cannot be sought after. Not to mention Brother Cai having to constantly be on guard while fighting there to avoid ambushes—these are not things ordinary people can manage!"
"Uh, hearing you say that does make sense. So in that case, those old fellows really did have my best interests at heart?"
"Exactly." Wang Long nodded.
"Haha, if that's the case, then they do have some conscience," Cai Burin smiled broadly after hearing Wang Long's advice. "Alright, let's get back to business. What I mentioned earlier is just the surface power of the divine race. But behind them, there are Ancient Deities!"
"Ancient Deities?"
This time even Cai Burin's expression became extremely serious, as if merely mentioning these figures was enough to change the color of heaven and earth and bring disaster: "Pangu the Great is dead, but there are still the two main gods Zhurong and Gonggong. In addition, there are Feng Ran, Power God, Giant Hao, Clear Chime, and other Ancient Deities! In the divine realm, they are already heaven and earth; heaven and earth are them!"
"That's a bit exaggerated, isn't it?" Wang Long felt somewhat skeptical about their existence being equated with heaven and earth.
Wang Long had a similar feeling; in the current world, his and the Human Emperor's powers were already sufficient to exert near-dominance over Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence, even capable of forming an entirely new world in the future. However, that was still merely utilizing, driving, and merging with heaven and earth—it could never replace heaven and earth itself!
As he sensed such abundant and immense Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence in the divine realm, a doubt gradually arose in Wang Long's heart. Although that deity in the current world was also part of the divine race, this world was certainly not created by him. He was merely a symbol of the divine race now—a guardian. Although his power was immense enough to command all of heaven and earth, it was still incomplete; he possessed creative power but lacked the ability to create an entire world.
Perhaps he had yet to comprehend heaven and earth itself; however, he found it hard to believe that anyone could truly reach such heights.
"Forget it; you'll know in time." Cai Burin didn't force Wang Long to believe him. "But there's one thing you shouldn't blame your elder brother for not reminding you: within Nanhua City now is not as simple as before. After all, I'm part of Holy Divine Gate; I can sense that something feels off in the atmosphere. Whether you're simply resolving issues with Alin Village and Fire Village before leaving or trying to make a name for yourself in Nanhua City, you must be extremely cautious!"
Wang Long's residence was within Yu Family; Cai Burin had known this for a long time. After informing Wang Long of his own address, they parted ways.
Meanwhile, upstairs in the tavern, Ying De Cai and his companions had been watching Wang Long's movements below until they dispersed.
Mr. He leaned closer to Ying De Cai and whispered, "What should we do? Neither of these two is willing to be swayed by us; this will greatly affect our impression above!"
Although Mr. He held a much higher status than Old Wei within their organization, he knew very well that within their internal structure his position meant little; even Boss Ying before him wasn't considered a significant figure. To truly gain status above everyone else required tangible contributions!
This was their organization's first task assigned to them—and it had resulted in such an outcome.
"Ha ha, Mr. He, there's no need to be nervous. This is a time of great change in the world, and there will be plenty of opportunities to make achievements in the future." The boss, being an experienced person, naturally understood their mindset well. "Moreover, even if they don't agree to our proposal, we won't lose anything. At least we won't have to be entangled with that person anymore. We can hand him over to that individual to deal with, and it would be like doing a favor. Ha ha, why not?"
Wei Du and Mr. He exchanged glances but did not respond to this topic.
Both of them knew that there was a conflict between the boss and that person, essentially a struggle between the radical youth faction and the moderate faction within the organization. Given their positions, getting involved would be tantamount to suicide.
"Alright, you two are no longer needed here. If I require your cooperation, I will notify you."
"Understood." Knowing that the boss was dissatisfied with their lack of response, both of them dared not say more and simply bowed slightly before exiting.
As soon as the door closed, Ying De Cai's serious expression immediately vanished, replaced by a smug smile. "Come out."
A shadow suddenly flickered on the screen in the private room, yet there was no one else present in the room.
"You heard everything?"
The shadow did not speak but merely flickered up and down slightly.
"Good, let's proceed according to our plan. Ha ha, I can't wait to see what kind of spectacle will unfold in Nanhua City this time! The strongest fortresses are always breached from within!"
"Lord Wang Long, you have returned!" Seeing Wang Long return safely, Ying Sang and others were overjoyed. When they saw how serious Wang Long was before leaving, they almost thought he had to fight his way out of Nanhua City.
"Ha ha, it was just a false alarm; that fat man really came to talk business with me." Wang Long did not hide anything about this matter and directly told them about attending Ying De Cai's banquet with Cai Burin.
"So this means we have double insurance?" Old Xu said with shining eyes. "We also inquired earlier; the Yu Family and that Wei fellow really have influence with the Nanhua City Lord. With their assistance, our plan is bound to succeed."
"Don't speak as if we are entirely relying on them," Wang Long replied. "We must thank Lord Wang Long; if it weren't for his strength, we wouldn't have such a good opportunity to connect with Yu Yaoran and that Wei fellow."
"Alright, alright, don't celebrate too early." Seeing Ying Sang act so confidently as if success was assured made Wang Long unable to hold back from pouring cold water on them. "Have you forgotten the warning Cai Burin gave us before parting? This matter may not be as simple as you think. No one knows what has happened in Nanhua City; we don't even have a hint of an intelligence network here. The Yu Family will definitely not share any information with us if they want to keep us around. Moreover, we've already encountered Lu Feng, the City Lord; she seems to have some misunderstandings about us. Remember, first impressions are crucial; who knows if the Yu Family and that Wei fellow can convince her? In any case, we need to resolve the issue with the Yu Family first and strengthen their power so it can benefit us further. Additionally, we shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket; we should explore more in Heavenly Capital and gather information about the forces in Nanhua City. Ultimately, our success or failure must be in our own hands!"
"Understood!"
Although Wang Long's words awakened them to reality, implementing those ideas proved to be fraught with difficulties and lacked clear direction.
There is no way around it; although Ying Sang and the others are qualified warriors, they are not necessarily qualified scouts. If they were to defend their hometown alongside the warriors from their own village, they would undoubtedly be incredibly brave. The Twin Sword Sect suffered significant losses in Alin Village and Fire Village, and the Demon Clan also demonstrated great strength in their own right.
The problem is that they have always lived in remote villages. Except for Old Xu, this is the first time any of them have come to Nanhua City. They are completely unfamiliar with this place, let alone how to interact with these "city folks," resulting in countless blunders.
Moreover, to be a qualified scout, the most important thing is to blend in with the crowd without drawing any suspicion or attention. However, upon entering here, they have already caused quite a stir. Although most people's attention is focused on Wang Long, Ying Sang and the others have also attracted notice.
As soon as they step out, they are marked with the Yu Family's insignia. Some people are friendly while others are sycophantic, but no one treats them as ordinary individuals.
After several days, the intelligence they gathered was no different from what Yu Yaoran had initially told them.
Not to mention the hidden forces that have infiltrated.
However, Yu Yaoran has become increasingly warm towards them and has shown no arrogance despite his younger brother's growing advantage and apparent victory.
In order to demonstrate his sincerity, he often shares recent intelligence with them, which has yielded some benefits through this channel.
The only issue is that while he can control himself, many of his subordinates feel resentful about their preferential treatment.
