"It’s the Sand Demon!" Even though Ying Sang had issued a warning in advance, the entire team was still thrown into chaos.
The Sand Demon is one of the most terrifying beasts in the Great Gobi. In the past, any expedition team that ventured into other oases of the Great Gobi and encountered a Sand Demon would either face total annihilation or return with only three to five top experts. The fearsome reputation of the Sand Demon was something the warriors from Alin Village had heard about since childhood, and many of them were seeing such a scene for the first time, undoubtedly feeling nervous.
However, Ying Sang shouted, "All captains, listen up! Keep your warriors in formation and guard the convoy; do not initiate an attack!"
"Do not initiate an attack?" a battle-hardened captain exclaimed in shock. "Elder Ying Sang, the Sand Demon's greatest ability is to attack with sand waves. If we don’t strike back, we will be buried alive!"
"I know," Ying Sang replied calmly with a smile. "So I will take action!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ying Sang vanished from his spot. There were other elders present, but their strength was not enough to see Ying Sang's movements clearly.
By the time they reacted, they could only see countless sword lights filling the air.
Countless sword beams surged like a storm, and the Sand Demon that had only half its body exposed from the sand was directly sliced into pieces by her sword light.
Upon smelling blood, the remaining Sand Demons ignored their true enemy, Ying Sang, and charged toward the bloodied flesh in mid-air. Their speed was so astonishing that even seasoned experts turned pale with fear.
Elder Ying Sang told us not to attack first; just look at how fast he is! Even if we wanted to rush in, we would have to keep up with their speed…
What Ying Sang was doing now was something Alin Village had tried before: using freshly killed bloody meat as bait to divert their attacks. However, all previous attempts had failed.
Because they did not have Ying Sang's speed!
With faster swords, before the bloodied flesh could be completely devoured, new pieces were already being cut down.
With faster movement, there wasn’t a single drop of blood staining him throughout.
With faster Spiritual Essence and Martial Arts, such a ferocious attack could be maintained continuously for this long.
As they watched the Sand Demons disappear at a visible rate, the warriors felt reassured and began cheering for their Elder Ying Sang.
At the same time, they silently vowed to practice diligently according to the village's methods and grow into powerful experts like Elder Ying Sang!
"Alright, now that the front is clear, let’s continue moving forward!"
On the sandy ground, two more astonishing Swordstorm Lotuses were unleashed, slicing the last Sand Demon into pieces.
"Yes!" At this moment, those once fearsome Sand Demons were now trampled underfoot, paving the way for their future.
After not advancing for long, they finally arrived at a smaller oasis. Although its area was not as large as Alin Village, the number of people there was even denser than in Alin Village. Small markets known as Trade Markets had already formed there. Normally, the people from Dragon City would trade among themselves, but when their caravan arrived, they would directly sell their goods there.
The market there was far more impressive than the one in their village. There were designated storage points, and trading was organized by categories; it wasn't just a mix of clothing and grain in one area.
Of course, the most important aspect was that the safety level here was even higher than that of Alin Village!
Just the few young disciples outside had such high strength that no one in their village could rival them except for Ying Sang!
"You guys, stop dawdling and take the caravan to the grain market. I'll head to the hall."
"Wow, look at Elder Ying Sang! Isn't she impressive? Just look at her presence!"
"Hmph, you don't know, do you? Elder Ying Sang is not only an elder of our village but has also been chosen by Wang Long to become an elder of Dragon City. Hehe, that's unique among all the villages including Fire Village."
"Why is that?" This warrior was following the group for the first time and wasn't too familiar with Dragon City. "I think those other experts are quite formidable. Why do they still need our Elder Ying Sang to be their elder?"
"Hehe, look at your narrow perspective. True, if we talk about strength alone, Elder Ying Sang might still be a bit lacking. But she is the most knowledgeable person about Dragon City in our divine realm. Moreover, she is half a disciple of the Dragon Head. So you see, even if one's strength isn't enough, it doesn't mean they can't become an important figure. I've heard that's what sets Zero Realm apart from our divine realm; they value wisdom! Wisdom! Do you understand?"
"You can become someone important without having high strength..."
Thus, all the warriors fell into endless fantasies...
"Is Ying Sang here?" Upon entering this Temporary Hall and looking at the Ice Hall, Ying Sang couldn't help but feel a sense of illusion. In this Great Gobi, an Ice Chamber had been conjured out of thin air! She really didn't know how that person called Dao Lord Wu Jue managed to do it.
"Yes, Dragon Lord." Ying Sang nodded and walked to one side of the Conference Table. She noticed they were discussing matters regarding Zero Realm and realized she couldn't interject. She could only wait on the side to listen.
"We have almost gathered enough information about their defenses along the southern coast. I feel like our previous feint actions were a bit too conservative. If possible, it would be better to deal a greater blow to the divine clan and draw their attention here," Man Qianyi expressed his dissatisfaction with their earlier decision to conduct a feigned attack to cover for Extreme Cold Land's full assault.
"I think Man Qianyi's plan is worth considering; after all, this is a rare opportunity since the Human Emperor isn't stationed on his own territory. As long as we have enough experts deployed, they might not be able to handle it. Even if we can't occupy coastal areas, I believe we can at least seize control of the coastal islands, which could serve as a stronghold for our counterattack against other continents in the future!"
Wang Yuanxian first rejected their adventurous strategy, but then proposed a bolder plan: "Your ideas are too extreme. Don't forget that our battle with the Human Emperor's forces is a long-term process. The gains and losses in one moment or one place are too insignificant for both sides' struggle for dominance. Let me ask you, even if we manage to capture a few nearby islands from them, can we hold onto them if they don't counterattack but simply nibble away at them? Can you guarantee that we can hold them without incurring significant costs?"
"Uh, that's not possible."
"If that's the case, then why should we take the risk of capturing these islands?" Wang Yuanxian shouted, startling many of the elder experts present.
Wang Long secretly nodded; at critical moments, Elder Wang Yuanxian remained the calmest!
"Then what is your opinion..." Man Qianyi said, feeling frustrated as Wang Yuanxian was so dismissive. It was one thing to be dismissive, but even more frustrating was that there wouldn't even be a fight!
"Hehe," Wang Yuanxian stunned everyone and revealed his cunning side, "If we're going to fight, we should go all out! Weren't we just afraid that there would be chaos on the divine side that made us hold back? It's been so many days, and the divine clan hasn't shown any movement. Why are we still sitting here idly? Let's bring our main forces back to the real world and crush their main force directly, making them unable to recover for three to five years. Now that's what I call decisive! Isn't that much more rewarding than capturing a few islands?"
"Good!"
With the cheers of the elders, Wang Long felt overshadowed by Wang Yuanxian's idea.
Alright! This guy is even more ruthless than all of them combined! Almost got fooled by this old fellow!
