Now Lu Feng generally understood that Wang Long wanted to use Fire Village and Alin Village as their foothold in the divine realm. However, she didn't care much about it; after all, those names were mentioned only once every few years, and their significance in her mind was quite low. Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to the requests of other Sects back then.
"No, this isn't very urgent. Ying Sang and the others are currently at their fastest growth stage. Although they have experienced the true brutality of war these past few days behind the Demon Army, this is the best time for them to communicate and improve with your subordinates. Moreover, it's uncertain whether the Demon Clan has completely retreated; it might take a few more days... Actually, there is a place I really want to visit after coming to the divine realm, but I'm not very familiar with the locations here."
"Feel free to ask me about any places. As long as I know, I will share everything."
"I'm particularly interested in the Gateway to the Abyss that connects the two realms. I wonder who created this gate and what limitations exist when traversing between the two realms through this spiritual domain. Therefore, I hope to see who exactly made the Gateway to the Abyss and whether we can open a few more passages between the two realms or create them like in the Third Realm, allowing us to traverse freely at our will. If that's possible, wouldn't we gain a terrifying mobility advantage?"
"Let me think." Hearing that they could traverse between the two realms like in the Third Realm made Lu Feng's heart race. Wang Long silently apologized in his heart; he intentionally said this to pique Lu Feng's interest. In truth, he didn't hold much hope for this matter; his main goal was still to figure out how to undermine the gods' control over the Gateway to the Abyss. "It's been too long, so I'm not sure who exactly created the Gateway to the Abyss. However, among those Great Divine Powers back then, the one most skilled at creating such things was Shunshen Song Shuping. As far as I know, he is no longer part of any Sect but is living in seclusion in the Northern Qian Mountain Range. If you want to meet him, I can help you find more reliable information."
"If that's the case, I would be extremely grateful." Wang Long smiled in thanks.
Now having an ally from the divine race felt much more convenient!
The two chatted for a bit longer, and Wang Long knew that Lu Feng was still busy, so he quickly stood up to take his leave.
"Brother Cai, why are you so happy?" When Wang Long returned to their residence, he happened to see Cai Burin looking cheerful and full of energy, which was quite different from when they first met in Nanhua City. He couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Hey, this time I really had a blast! Those useless disciples of mine! They're great at infighting within the Sect but when it comes down to actual fighting, they were easily scattered by me! I haven't had such a refreshing battle in a long time!"
Wang Long found it amusing. Fortunately, you caught them off guard and attracted their attention while I shot out all my Flying Sword Artifacts; otherwise, their Sword Formation would have given Cai Burin a hard time. "Zhao Zheng, as long as you're all safe, that's good enough. I heard from Lu Feng, the City Lord, that you guys were imprisoned by Wei Du during this time."
Zhao Zheng's face showed both sorrow and shame: "No, Xiao Jiu... he hasn't returned; I'm afraid he has already fallen victim to their treachery. Moreover, we were entrusted by Lord Wang Long to return to Nanhua City with news but ended up being caught off guard and taken down without being able to deliver any message to the Lord of the City. Otherwise, they would have been prepared; even if they couldn't have rescued Ying De Cai or Wei Du beforehand, they could have heightened their vigilance and wouldn’t have suffered such great losses from a surprise attack at the last moment!"
"You can't blame yourselves entirely." Wang Long sighed softly. If Nanhua City hadn't suffered such significant losses, Lu Feng might not have been so quick to decide on an alliance with them. From this perspective, he had to thank them. "Don't worry; also, Lord Lu Feng doesn't blame you either. After all, if someone like Wei Du could betray Nanhua City, who else could be guarded against?"
Hearing Wang Long's words eased Zhao Zheng and his companions' spirits somewhat.
"There's one more thing I need to tell you," Wang Long said, looking at Ying Sang and Old Xu. He revealed his true identity, especially since even Lu Feng was already aware of it. He didn't want Ying Sang and the others to learn the truth from someone else in the future, which could lead to feelings of distrust.
"I see, so that's how it is," Old Xu replied with a wry smile after hearing this. "Actually, we've been thinking about this for quite some time now, and it's finally confirmed."
Wang Long smiled slightly. If they had no doubts in their hearts, that would be unusual. It seemed his choice was indeed the right one.
On the other hand, Ying Sang and the others had fewer thoughts on the matter. The Old Village Chief had already confided in Wang Long back in Alin Village. They were mentally prepared: "Regardless of whether you are from the divine race or one of those Major Sects, Lord Wang Long, at least you have been sincere with us villagers of Alin Village, and you have truly taught us skills. We are willing to continue believing in you!"
"Thank you," Wang Long said, feeling much lighter after revealing the secret he had kept inside. "For the next few days, you should stay in Nanhua City and consult with those experts. Also, integrate everything you've learned from this battle; it will greatly benefit your strength. As for me, I might need to leave Nanhua City for a few days. Brother Cai, before that, I want to confirm something: After I personally killed Su Hao and considering the losses of other disciples in this battle, how will the divine race's Major Sects react? Will they come to Nanhua City to hold us accountable?"
"What! Where do you plan to go?" Cai Burin shot Wang Long a glare, as if afraid he might run away. He slowly replied, "As for your concern, you have some reason to worry. From what I understand, they wouldn't openly use this as an excuse to trouble you, but they would definitely be very dissatisfied. Nanhua City is somewhat better off since it is part of our divine race and has many disciples under their Sect. However, as for you, they probably have no good feelings towards you and will likely find ways to make things difficult for you both openly and covertly! Quickly tell me where you're planning to escape to! Don't forget about our duel!"
Wang Long nodded thoughtfully. "Don't worry; I won't forget. This time I plan to go into the Northern Qian Mountain Range to look for Shunshen Song Shuping. Let's wait until I return for our duel."
"Oh? The Northern Qian Mountain Range? What made you think of going there?" Cai Burin pondered for a moment before saying, "You should know that it's another Gateway to the Abyss location. Haha, in that case, I might as well go with you! One reason is to prevent you from running away and avoiding our duel; another is that I've always wanted to see the Northern Qian Mountain Range myself—I've heard it's a great place for honing one's skills! Yes! It's settled then! When are you leaving?"
Wang Long felt a headache coming on. Cai Burin truly lived up to his reputation as a sword fanatic; he seemed eager to improve his strength at any opportunity.
While they were chatting, one of Zhao Zheng's subordinates suddenly came in with news that Yu Yaoran had arrived unexpectedly.
In this battle, Yu Yaoran was one of the biggest beneficiaries. Although his family suffered some losses in strength, he had solidified his position as head of the family through this battle; his rival was no longer able to compete with him. Additionally, many older figures in Nanhua City had died in battle, allowing him to rise quickly in status.
Wang Long wasn't sure why Yu Yaoran had come at this moment but didn't delay in welcoming him.
"Lord Wang Long! Big news! Our intelligence network just reported that although we managed to hold on in Nanhua City this time, the Brahma Demon King personally took action in the north yesterday and simultaneously destroyed both Seven Lotus and Tianyi cities! He left no survivors!"
"Impressive!" After Yu Yaoran was invited into the room and given a detailed introduction, everyone no longer dared to underestimate the Demon Clan that they had been repelled by.
It wasn't that the damage caused by the Demon Clan this time was insufficient. Rather, this time the Demon Clan had become a stepping stone for other forces to achieve their own interests. In fact, even if they defeated the Demon Clan, they would likely end up merely providing a benefit to Su Hao and his faction. This inevitably lowered their status in their hearts.
However, it now appeared that the depth of their schemes was certainly not inferior to that of the divine clan, especially in terms of strategic Scheme, which completely overshadowed them.
It wasn't that the Demon Clan had achieved significant results; two major cities were breached, and the divine clan members inside were completely slaughtered. While this might sound like a big deal, when viewed in the grand historical context of the rivalry between the two clans, such losses were not particularly significant.
The key point was that the Demon Clan had merely thrown out a few unidentifiable Doomsday Horns, forcing those divine clan Ancient Deities into a dilemma, rendering them unable to defend any major city. It could be said that they were caught off guard and lost two cities without any resistance, which was an immeasurable blow to the morale of the entire divine clan.
In future decisive battles with the Demon Clan, this would leave a lasting impression on those weaker divine factions: when faced with real threats, those who could truly contend with the Ancient Demon, the Great Divine Powers, would prioritize their own interests and would not risk their lives for others!
In such a case, who would still be willing to serve you?
"Who can argue with that?" Yu Yaoran also smiled bitterly and shook his head. "This news has already spread throughout Nanhua City. Everyone feels quite uneasy about it. The most common thing I've heard on my journey is... if only Brahma Demon King had chosen us in Nanhua City..."
"This matter, I believe Lord of the City will handle well. However, this is a very clear signal: the Demon Clan will no longer be satisfied with small skirmishes in a few villages. This is just a test; next, they will definitely have wave after wave of new actions! A great upheaval in the divine realm is about to arrive!"
