"I?" Wang Long's expression was quite calm, showing neither fear nor excitement, just a keen interest as he looked at Elder Yu. "What made you choose me, sir?"
Elder Yu smiled and said, "Although I don't yet know Your Excellency's true strength, I do know that you have been able to operate within the Demon Clan's Army for over ten days and have managed to keep Second Miss and others safe on their return. This shows that you possess courage, intelligence, and strength—all of which are essential! Moreover, your battle with the Nine-Headed Demon Lord earlier demonstrated remarkable power. If Lord Wang Long is not qualified, then who else could be?"
"Well, I don't know about other things, but Your Excellency's skill in dealing with that blowhard is truly impressive." Seeing the various dissatisfied expressions of the divine experts around him, Wang Long sighed inwardly.
Elder Yu was truly skilled at provoking others; raising himself up so high had already made others quite unhappy. However, no one would dare to show their "small-mindedness" first. But if he were to refuse Elder Yu's proposal outright, the consequences would likely be unpleasant.
Of course, more importantly, after his strength had increased, Wang Long genuinely believed that in all of Nanhua City, aside from Zhong Xuan and Lu Feng, there was no one whose power could surpass his own!
"Hehe, I didn't expect my reputation to hold up well; both the Lord of the City and Lord Zhong Xuan have shown me considerable respect. As for you..." The Lingchuan Demon Lord showed no surprise at Lu Feng and Zhong Xuan's involvement. Upon seeing Wang Long, however, a clear hatred flashed in his eyes. "I think we have some scores to settle!"
"Gladly!" Although Wang Long still didn't know how strong the Lingchuan Demon Lord truly was, seeing his expression suddenly reminded him of a psychological flaw in his opponent.
"You two must be extremely careful," during the previous battle, it was mainly Zhong Xuan who dealt with the opponent, so he had some understanding of Lingchuan's strength. "Lingchuan Demon Lord is a traditional expert skilled in both Earth and Fire Spiritual Essence; his mastery of Primordial Power has reached an astonishing level!"
Wang Long frowned. It seemed he was indeed facing a very tough opponent this time.
He knew that those so-called "traditional" types of experts who could reach a level like Lingchuan Demon Lord could only mean that his control over dual Earth and Fire powers was certainly not inferior to Wang Long's Thunderfire dual powers!
Especially in this mountainous region where Earth Elemental Power was more abundant; it posed an unimaginable advantage against the dense Spiritual Essence of Primal Aura!
"Is reputation really that important?" While listening to Zhong Xuan talk about precautions for battling Lingchuan, Lu Feng used this as a way to stall for time while sincerely persuading him. "Since the last war between gods and demons, we have coexisted peacefully for thousands of years. Why must you insist on competing over trivial matters? Is it really worth exhausting our kin who have thrived over these years?"
"That's just your perspective." Lingchuan Demon Lord did not expect Lu Feng to suddenly try to persuade him but showed no sign of mockery; instead, he appeared even more serious. "Do you think we deserve to live in our current territories? In Zero Realm, in the extreme desert, or in the frigid lands? If what you say is true, then why don't we switch places? We can take control of the most fertile Southern Continent plains and relocate your people to our living areas—how about that?"
Wang Long observed the visibly agitated Lingchuan Demon Lord and could tell that over the years, the Demon Clan's living conditions must have been extremely harsh. The natural environment in the divine realm was already inferior to that of the current world; although there was abundant Primordial Power here, repeated wars had devastated much of the environment. Wang Long had previously asked Li Fan and others; in fact, the divine beings' living conditions were not much better. They were simply situated in the Southern Continent plains and had access to both Xuanmen and Holy Divine Gate sects' cores—making their living environment among the best for divine beings. Other areas might not be as dire as Alin Village situated within the Great Gobi and vast deserts but were still far from ideal.
Thus, one could only imagine how much worse conditions must be for those from the Demon Clan or ancient Giant Clan.
Lu Feng remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Such a significant matter cannot be decided by me alone as Nanhua City Lord."
"Hahaha, is that really the excuse you're going with? Since you can't make a decision, why waste time on this!"
"But!" Lu Feng looked at the laughing Lingchuan Demon Lord and said slowly, "As long as your demons abide by the order of Nanhua City and do not harm others, I can allow a certain number of Demon Clan members to reside in Nanhua City!"
"Uh..." The wild laughter of the Lingchuan Demon Lord abruptly stopped.
Wang Long also looked at Lu Feng in surprise.
Others might just mock Lu Feng for his naivety; after all, how could the divine race and the Demon Clan coexist without issues?
However, Wang Long saw that Lu Feng genuinely wanted to resolve the long-standing conflict between the divine race and the Demon Clan.
Although the outcome might not be ideal, it represented a change in the oppressive politics within the divine race over these thousands of years, particularly among those enlightened individuals like her.
"Why do I suddenly feel like I'm witnessing history?" Wang Long stroked his completely smooth chin, looking at Lu Feng with newfound respect.
"Still nonsense!" The Lingchuan Demon Lord certainly couldn't share Wang Long's sentiments. He merely thought that Lu Feng was more "despicable" than usual for saying such things just to make him retreat. It was hypocritical and disgusting! "Our land should be reclaimed by our own hands. Even if what you say is true, it's still just a drop in the bucket for us!"
"Inferno!"
The Lingchuan Demon Lord waved his right hand under his cloak, and suddenly thick Demonic Flames erupted from thin air, enveloping them all, including himself!
"Be careful! The Lingchuan Demon Lord's Demonic Flames can burn souls; even a little contact can cause unbearable pain!" Elder Zhongxuan quickly warned.
However, even he didn't know how to extinguish such Demonic Flames.
And now, the Lingchuan Demon Lord's Demonic Flames were nothing like the minor skirmishes they had faced before. After surrounding the area completely, the flames continued to spread wider and wider. The entire sky seemed to flow with fire, and even the clouds were burned away completely, while the Lingchuan Demon Lord appeared to transform into a blazing sun.
Wang Long didn't know how Lu Feng and the others felt at that moment; he only sensed that all Water Elemental Power within the surrounding Primal Aura had vanished completely. Even other Spiritual Essences were greatly affected. The Earth Elemental Power was so chaotic that it no longer responded to his Spirit, and his clothing was almost ignited by the intense heat.
"Funeral of Fire!" Seeing the three of them forced to resist this terrifying heat with their own Spiritual Essence, Lingchuan Demon Lord showed a look of disdain. "In the mad dance of fire, may your souls be cleansed!"
The Demonic Flame, originally in a "flame" state, seemed to have transformed into a liquid, flowing like a torrent throughout the entire area! It was even hotter and… there was no escape!
Then waves of fire came crashing towards them one after another!
"Water Element… Earth Elemental Shield!" Instinctively wanting to use Water Elemental Shield to block, Wang Long suddenly remembered that within this Inferno, Water Elemental Power was severely suppressed. He quickly changed his tactic and gathered the Thunder Element Annihilation Sword in his hand.
Although the Earth Elemental Shield was the most defensive of Dragon Arts, it had no effect against Fire Essence. He had to defend without letting a single spark through, which made it quite difficult for Wang Long.
When he looked up, Elder Zhongxuan and Lu Feng were not doing much better; they could only defend using Earth Elemental Power and magical artifacts.
Wang Long knew they absolutely could not just passively defend; otherwise, their numerical advantage would be meaningless.
