"Unfortunately, that Human Emperor is going to suffer a big loss." No one on the battlefield noticed that, in the distance on a rocky hill, Wang Long and Shunshen suddenly appeared.
Compared to Human Emperor, they had a significant advantage. Not only did he attract everyone's attention first, but more importantly, thanks to Shunshen's teleportation technique, they could appear here without leaving a trace, directly flashing out of the illusion. They wouldn't be surrounded by those Third Realm experts and would even get to enjoy a good show.
Seeing Human Emperor unguarded as he engaged in combat, Shunshen concluded directly.
"What do you think? Should we get a little closer? As long as that Human Emperor suffers a big loss, we can give him another blow and help you eliminate this major threat in advance." Wang Long shook his head and said, "It's already impossible. His Thirty-Six Heavens Palace Golden Threshold, similar to my Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs, can create its own world. Previously, I didn't guard against you, which allowed you to move freely within my Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs. However, Human Emperor will definitely not be so kind. Before we even emerge from your Void, he would have already detected us; we can't ambush him at all."
"Is that so?" Shunshen looked at Wang Long with some disbelief. No one likes having their expertise dismissed by someone else.
Wang Long nodded solemnly, "We don't need to waste any more time on them. Neither the Third Realm Envoy nor the Human Emperor can be killed right now. It's more important to break the siege of Feather City first."
Shunshen could only nod in agreement. He placed his right hand on Wang Long's shoulder again, and with Shunshen here, their return to Feather City was greatly expedited.
"Sigh, Old Li, why do I see some movement up ahead?" On the City Wall of Feather City, although they were surrounded by the poisonous mist created after the destruction of the Toxic Corpses, they still sent some warriors to keep watch on the wall just in case.
Hearing the guard's words, Old Li couldn't help but roll his eyes and was too lazy to even turn around: "Are you out of your mind or just blind? Outside is all poisonous mist; even if there were strong people out there, they couldn't break through. If someone really could get through, we'd be burning incense in gratitude. Sigh, I think we might be stuck here for a lifetime."
The guard took another look and seemed to find no movement in the thick mist. He also felt it was impossible; perhaps he was just going crazy waiting for Lord Wang Long and Lord Shunshen to return—if they did come back, they wouldn't be able to walk through the mist directly; they'd have to teleport in somehow.
"Heh heh, why are you being so pessimistic? Right now, isn't Lord Shunshen with Lord Wang Long looking for a solution? You've seen their abilities; they'll definitely find some treasure to clear this poisonous mist. Then our Feather City will be back to normal."
"Back to normal?" Old Li sighed deeply and had no mood left to tease him: "Stop thinking about useless things. Just surviving this great battle is already a blessing from heaven. Don't forget that the villagers in those surrounding villages have already been turned into Toxic Corpses by those from the Third Realm! Without those villages, how will our Feather City survive? This time we weren't uprooted by the Demon Clan, but instead let those from the Third Realm take a fall! Sigh!"
"Old Li, don't be like that." Remembering how he had personally killed those former villagers made the guard feel very downcast. "It's strange though. This time the Demon Clan sent so many experts; our Feather City has almost been breached several times by them. And then there's the fact that this time the Third Realm isn't sending good people—they not only created so many Toxic Corpses, but they even deployed a Superior! What are our Major Sect's Great Divine Powers doing? Just watching? Besides Shunshen, who came to help us a few times, none of the other Great Divine Powers have done anything!"
"Who knows! It could be... Wait, what is that!" Old Li was about to continue his complaints when suddenly a dark shadow flashed up the city wall and charged straight at them!
"Be careful!" At a critical moment, Old Li pushed the Young Guard aside, but he was knocked down by the shadow, which lunged at his neck with its bloody jaws wide open!
"Old Li!" Seeing this situation, the Young Guard felt a surge of adrenaline and, despite knowing his own lack of strength wouldn't help Old Li much, grabbed his weapon and rushed forward!
The shadow that had leaped up was actually a massive black wolf, and what was even more terrifying was that its eyes were completely green—just like the color of toxic mist!
The black wolf disdainfully glanced at the charging guard and ignored him entirely. It lunged again, but Old Li managed to fend it off with all his might. However, being under the wolf's claws had drained most of his strength. Without a capable ally to help him, he knew he wouldn't survive another attack from the giant wolf!
Seeing that the old wolf disregarded him completely, the guard felt a surge of anger and recklessly charged forward, swinging his iron spear directly at its head!
"No!" Old Li shouted angrily as he saw the giant wolf kick one of its hind legs toward the guard's abdomen.
He knew that with the guard's strength, he wouldn't be able to inflict any damage on the giant wolf; instead, he would likely be sent flying off the city wall!
Although Feather City’s warriors were elite fighters, it didn’t mean that every one of them was a disciple from various sects. Many ordinary soldiers were recruited from different places and couldn’t fly; if they fell from this wall, they would surely die upon impact!
Bang!
The guard swung his spear down!
Then... the expected counterattack did not occur!
The guard cautiously opened his eyes and was astonished to find that he had indeed smashed the giant wolf's head with his spear, causing blood and brain matter to splatter everywhere!
"I did it! I did it!" The guard was startled by his own "achievement," trembling as he struggled to hold his gun while cheering.
"Fool! How could you possibly kill him!" Old Li said, both amused and exasperated, as he forcefully moved the corpse of the giant wolf off himself. "It was Lord Shunshen and Lord Wang Long who returned!"
"Ah!"
The young guard finally realized what was happening. When he turned around, two figures in mid-air unleashed a barrage of Spirit Blades that fell straight down. Although the giant wolves were incredibly fast, not a single one escaped; they were all killed by this wave of Spirit Blades.
"Oh! Lord Shunshen is back! Lord Wang Long is back!" At this moment, the other warriors on the city wall also snapped out of their shock from the sudden wolf attack and erupted into cheers for the two figures in the sky.
Amidst the cheers, several figures suddenly rose from within the city and charged toward them.
"Haha, Brother Wang Long, you’ve finally returned! I, Old Cai, knew you wouldn’t let me down!"
"Greetings, Lord Shunshen, Lord Wang Long."
Only Cai Burin maintained his boisterous demeanor; the others dared not show any disrespect to the now highly esteemed Wang Long and Shunshen, all bowing in respect.
"Thanks to everyone’s efforts, this operation went relatively smoothly, though there were some unexpected incidents," Shunshen said, somewhat intentionally.
"Unexpected incidents?" Cai Burin was taken aback. "Does that mean those from the Third Realm have already thought of trying to take the Divine Sword? Who ended up with it?"
"Not quite," Shunshen had been waiting for this question. He seized the opportunity to promote Wang Long. "We all know that Wang Long hails from the Zero Realm, but what we didn’t realize is that there was a demon hidden there whom our divine race overlooked, known as the Human Emperor!"
Wang Long broke into a sweat but understood from Shunshen's gaze that he was being given a chance to speak. He quickly cleared his throat and took over. "This time, he followed me to the Divine Realm with the intent of sabotaging our long-standing friendly relations with the divine race. He seeks to sow discord. Alas, it was this person who stole our Divine Sword!"
"What! It was taken away!"
"Damn it! What is that Human Emperor? If I see him, I'm going to beat him to a pulp!"
"We, the Divine Race, must unite to punish this scoundrel!"
"Everyone! Everyone!" Seeing that the crowd was stirred up by the news of the divine sword being taken, Wang Long quickly interrupted them, saying, "Don't worry, everyone. Although the divine sword has been taken, there is still a Throne over there that can dispel this toxic mist. Lord Shunshen, you will have to handle this."
Although that Throne had been stored by Wang Long in the Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs for convenience, he did not know how to operate it.
Shunshen naturally stepped forward without hesitation. When he saw Wang Long take it out from the treasure space, he formed hand seals with both hands. A stream of Spiritual Essence shot directly into the Throne, igniting waves of jade-colored light that emanated a sacred feeling similar to what Wang Long had experienced in the illusion with the divine sword.
Then, Shunshen controlled the Throne to fly into the green toxic mist. The mist, which could not be dispelled by any wind or Water Element force, began to roll and dissipate under the illumination of the Throne.
Seeing the effectiveness of the Throne, the warriors of Feather City, who were previously filled with despair, erupted in cheers. Even Lin Jueying, who had been demoralized by previous setbacks, could hardly contain his excitement now.
The crisis of Feather City had finally been resolved!
