"Hey, Lord Wang Long, can we discuss this? Don't ignore what I'm saying. I'm sorry, is my apology not enough?"
Wang Long walked towards Ying Sang and their temporary camp without looking back.
"The situation is as follows: at that time, we had no knowledge of their arrangements, especially regarding the deeper circumstances. Moreover, the self-detonation of one enemy has surely alerted other warriors. I believe the chances of success are slim, so I brought Second Miss back first. The clues here have essentially run dry; to find out which faction they belong to, we will have to wait for Li Fan to track that warrior's situation."
Everyone exchanged glances, surprised that there were such variables in the crisis of Nanhua City. They shared the same doubt as Wang Long: the Demon Clan was led by the Brahma Demon King; who had the audacity to act against them?
"Second Miss! Lord Wang Long, are you all here?"
Just as they were discussing, they suddenly heard a rush of wind and Fierce Wind announcing his identity.
"Uncle Li Fan! You're finally back! How did it go? Have you found the mastermind behind this?"
Wang Long was not as optimistic as Lu Rou: "Things didn't go smoothly? If he returned to Nanhua City with you, he shouldn't be able to make it back now."
Fierce Wind shook his head with a bitter smile: "That's right. That guy is incredibly slippery and has high proficiency in flying techniques. I was following him from a distance, but he suddenly accelerated in the Chaotic Wind Gorge, and I lost sight of him completely. However, I can confirm two things: first, he is not from the Demon Clan; he is definitely from the Divine Clan. Second, his direction was indeed towards Nanhua City, so the information we overheard is likely true."
"Well, that aligns with my suspicions. Now we must make a decision: should we immediately return to report to Lu Feng, the City Lord, about what we heard tonight and see if we can mobilize everyone to find the traitor? Or should we continue exploring the outskirts to investigate what exactly is going on with the Demon Clan they have been waiting for? Is the Doomsday Horn something they created using their eye technique, or are they merely taking advantage of this incident?"
Everyone understood that what Wang Long said was crucial. If this time it wasn't Brahma personally involved but rather just the Doomsday Horn left behind by them, then Nanhua City's strength would clearly be sufficient for self-defense, allowing them to focus on guarding against so-called conspiracies.
"I think both aspects are very important!" Even Li Fan, who had rich combat experience, couldn't make a choice at this moment. "I suggest we split up; let's send some people back to report while we continue investigating the outskirts to uncover their ultimate scheme."
As Li Fan spoke, he gave Wang Long a knowing glance.
"Then it's settled, Zhao Zheng. Your team will protect Miss Lu Er as she returns to Nanhua City to inform the Lord of the City about what happened here. As for Li Fan, I will stay with others to see if we can find any more clues."
"That's not acceptable!" Lu Rou immediately objected. "What do you mean? Are you afraid I'll hold you back? My strength is clearly a bit stronger than those warriors under Wang Long. Why can't I continue the reconnaissance?"
"Second Miss!" Li Fan was genuinely anxious this time. "Reconnaissance often requires more than just strength; it demands extreme caution. Your temperament is simply not suited for this task. If your identity were to be captured or harmed, it would be a tremendous blow to Nanhua City and the Lord of the City! We absolutely cannot take that risk!"
"Wang Long! What do you say?" Knowing that she couldn't convince Li Fan, Lu Rou turned to Wang Long for support. "I know I performed poorly last time and let the captive self-destruct, but I've learned my lesson. I promise I won't act rashly again!"
Seeing her pleading demeanor compared to her previous arrogance, Wang Long couldn't help but sigh. He turned to Li Fan and said, "I don't think it's a good idea to send the Second Miss back like this. It's possible that we've already alerted the enemy yesterday, and whether she can return safely is uncertain. This time, there are no skilled guards by her side. If something unexpected happens on the way, we won't be able to protect her. It would be better for her to stay with us; that way, if anything happens, we can prioritize her safety."
"This..." Li Fan had to admit that Wang Long was indeed a top-notch negotiator, hitting right at his biggest concern: "Fine, let's allow the Second Miss to stay. However, I have one request: no matter what happens, the Second Miss must not leave my side or Lord Wang Long's side. If the Second Miss does not agree, I would rather give up this crucial intelligence and forcibly take her back to Nanhua City before proceeding."
"Alright, no problem!" As long as her wish was fulfilled, Lu Rou was willing to agree to any condition—of course, whether she could actually follow through would depend on her mood later and whether she could remember such a promise.
"Zhao Zheng, I leave everything in your hands. The journey may not be smooth; you should set off immediately under the cover of night without any delay!"
"Yes!" For Zhao Zheng and his team, although their strength was lacking a bit, they were very familiar with the terrain here. They agreed and took their warriors away.
With reconnaissance still needed the next day and potential confrontations ahead, Wang Long and the others had no interest in cooking; they let Da Ai eat some wild fruits while they split into groups to sleep.
Wang Long took charge of the first night watch.
As everyone settled down and Wang Long focused on absorbing Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence under the moonlight to enhance his strength, suddenly a dark light emerged from his embrace!
"This is..." Wang Long took out the Demon Skull he had obtained when he defeated the Twin Sword Sect. He suddenly realized that despite trying every method along the way, it had not reacted at all until now, under the moonlight, when it suddenly emitted a fantastical glow!
Black ripples were clearly discernible even in the darkness of night, and Wang Long could feel a powerful Spirit force continuously rippling outwards from those waves!
The overwhelming momentum was far stronger than that of the Twin Sword Sect Master or Nin Tian! If it weren't for the fact that this power was clearly being manipulated by something on the Demon Skull, Wang Long would have already suffered severe injuries just from this current state!
"Is the pure Spirit fluctuation driving the Primordial Power to form pure Spirit power?" Since there was no immediate danger, Wang Long was captivated by this miraculous power. Whether in the mortal realm or in the divine realm, he had never imagined he could utilize Spirit in such a manner!
Although it could be imagined that this kind of power consumes Spirit far more than controlling Primordial Power with Spirit, it was also much purer. If two experts were to duel, comparing their summoned powers to two armies, then Spirit power would represent an elite force purely based on strength, capable of being maneuvered with precision and agility. In contrast, the Primordial Power side would be more passive; while it could conserve Spirit, it would be at a disadvantage.
Of course, this does not mean that one method is necessarily better than the other; it all depends on the situation and context at hand.
However!
For Wang Long and many divine experts he knew, this was enough to greatly broaden their perspectives!
Just from this alone, it was already an invaluable treasure!
