"Jiang Xue, are you okay?" another woman hurriedly stepped forward with concern.
"I'm fine."
These two were the current leaders of Long City and the Jiao Dragon Clan in the divine realm, Jiang Xue and Princess Liling. They had already made contact with Alin Village following the directions left by Wang Long. Upon hearing that they were friends of Wang Long, who possessed Great Divine Power, although there was some confusion regarding the identities of Princess Liling and Jiang Xue, the villagers of Alin Village welcomed them warmly. They provided considerable assistance, especially regarding the environment of the Great Gobi. It could be said that without their help, they would not have dared to deploy such a large number of people to patrol and set ambushes in the Great Gobi in such a short time.
Of course, Alin Village's enthusiasm and trust were reciprocated.
Previously, disciples from Jade Peak Sword Sect had searched for Abyssal Demon for a long time without success, ultimately turning their attention to these villagers, believing that their ancestors must have some knowledge about the terrifying demon since they had lived here for generations.
Moreover, these individuals considered themselves noble disciples from a prestigious sect and thought it beneath them to interact with commoners. Thus, they resorted to the most violent means.
Unfortunately for them, they underestimated the resilience formed by Alin Village's long-standing life in the Great Gobi. If it had been a Major Sect that came, they might have endured it. However, while Jade Peak Sword Sect was somewhat stronger than Twin Sword Sect, it was still just a medium-sized sect. Its reputation was not well-known; they had hardly heard of it and naturally would not fall for such tactics.
As a result, conflict broke out between the two sides, and just as Jiang Xue and Princess Liling arrived with their people, they decisively eliminated them.
Knowing that one escaped among them would surely lead to retaliation, they had been lying in wait for a long time. Today, they finally awaited the appearance of their target. The divine race had a particularly weak resistance to Shen Walking Dragon Technique, allowing Jiang Xue and her companions to achieve an overwhelming victory in their first large-scale battle in the divine realm without any losses.
However, this time the counterattack from Fire War also surprised them. Had it not been for Jiang Xue's cautious nature and her preparations in advance, being caught off guard by this opponent's artifact could have led to serious consequences. To block this Purple Radiance attack effectively might have allowed Fire War to escape.
"Alright, let's start cleaning up the battlefield and gather all the bodies for processing; we might face even greater troubles ahead. Princess Liling, we need to think carefully about how to divert their attention from Alin Village," Jiang Xue said. Just as Princess Liling hesitated and was about to say something, suddenly, the Fire War that had been killed by Jiang Xue soared into the air. It had seemingly lost all its radiance and appeared devoid of Spiritual Essence when suddenly it shone brightly again!
"Hahaha! You little girls thought I didn't know you were already on guard against me? Just wait! I will definitely inform all the sects of the divine race about your actions! I don't believe that by then you can ambush the entire divine army!"
His maniacal laughter echoed through the skies, shocking everyone including Jiang Xue. Now even if they wanted to pursue at full speed, it was already too late!
A beam of sword light shot down from above. At this distance, what should have been as thin as a hair somehow formed an imposing image like a pillar reaching up to heaven in their hearts!
And where that Blade Edge pointed was precisely at Fire War!
Faced with this sudden lethal strike, Fire War had no means left to defend himself and could only let out a miserable scream as he fell back into the desert. Even while still in mid-air, he was directly killed by the force of that strike.
"Dragon Lord!" Jiang Xue and her companions had already recognized the identity of their savior. It was Wang Long!
"I didn't expect that during this time apart, your skills have improved so much. Especially Jiang Xue's Shen Walking Dragon Technique, which managed to trap so many experts at once. It seems you've gained quite a bit of insight into the use of Primordial Power in the divine realm?"
Facing Wang Long's unabashed praise, Jiang Xue couldn't help but blush slightly. "How did you know? Were you watching nearby all along?"
Wang Long nodded and smiled. "That's right, but unfortunately, I still couldn't match your speed. We had just returned to Alin Village when I sensed something was amiss in this direction. So I came over to check the situation first. I didn't expect you to have already surrounded them."
"Then in the end, didn't you take the biggest credit? I think our Dragon Lord is still the most impressive!" Jiang Xue joked with him.
"How could that be? If you hadn't injured him first, I might not have been able to deliver a fatal blow. By the way, what was their background? Why did they have intentions against Alin Village?" Wang Long had flattered Jiang Xue for a moment before returning to serious matters.
"The one called Fire War claimed to be an elder from some Jade Peak Sword Sect. It seems they are a sect of the divine race. Dragon Head, didn't you get to know an elder named Cai Burin from the Holy Divine Gate in the divine realm? Do you know their background?"
"Oh? It seems that during normal times, Wang Long often brings me up? What does he say about me?"
"Ahem, I didn't expect you to be so gossipy. Let's talk about this later; right now, we should discuss serious matters!" Wang Long cleared his throat twice, feeling a bit guilty.
"Ah, that won't do." At this moment, Cai Burin became quite serious. "Young lady, please tell me what he usually says about me. I promise I won't get angry! Go on."
"So this is the esteemed Cai Burin, my apologies," Jiang Xue said with a slight bow.
"No need for that. We all saw your strength just now; I truly didn't expect you to reach such a level in such a short time after arriving in the divine realm. I might not even be your match now. Let's skip the pleasantries and talk about what Wang Long said about me."
Jiang Xue smiled lightly. "Dragon Head once told us that Cai Burin is very careless and tends to act without much thought. Sometimes he behaves like a big child, being serious when he shouldn't be and not serious when he should be."
"What! He actually dared to say that about me?" The more Cai Burin listened, the more displeased he became as he shot a sideways glance at Wang Long.
"Jiang Xue! Don't say such things! When did I ever say anything like that?" Wang Long felt anxious; he had indeed said a few things about Cai Burin, but nothing like that.
"Who are you trying to scare here? This young lady speaks very honestly; her words must be true! Young lady, don't be afraid; with Cai Burin here, feel free to speak your mind."
"Yes," Jiang Xue looked at Wang Long with a smile. "However, speaking of loyalty, there might not be anyone in the entire divine realm who can compare to Cai Burin. Although we just fought against each other, we are definitely not enemies. I believe that one day when we compete again, we will become true brothers who can trust each other's lives!"
"Uh," Cai Burin, thinking he finally had something on Wang Long, was ready to settle accounts with him when unexpectedly he heard this evaluation from Wang Long. "I didn't expect that Wang Long actually has good judgment when it comes to friends."
Wang Long let out a sigh of relief, finally understanding her intentions.
In fact, Wang Long had only exchanged a few simple words with them, and it was impossible for him to provide such detailed information. More importantly, he aimed to highlight Cai Burin's weaknesses in terms of her abilities and personality, so that they would be more cautious when they encountered her.
However, these words could not be directly conveyed to Cai Burin. That was why Jiang Xue made such a statement.
As a result, the less favorable evaluations earlier made Cai Burin believe they were true. Her subsequent remarks made the overall assessment seem more positive.
"Hahaha, you really know me well, my brother Wang Long. Alright, I won't hold this against you this time! Sister, you are truly clever. In this regard, I must say I admire you even more, Old Cai," Cai Burin finally laughed.
Wang Long smiled inwardly; he could still tell that he had been understood, but he chose to treat it as a light-hearted joke to lighten the atmosphere.
"Dragon Lord, who is this person?" At this moment, Jiang Xue and the others noticed Shunshen standing silently behind Wang Long with a smile and couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, this is Lord Shunshen, an Ancient Deity who has come specifically to help us deal with the troubles of the Gateway to the Abyss!"
"Oh?" Jiang Xue and the others all showed expressions of surprise.
