Smoke rose in wisps, and the entire perimeter of the Divine Clan's camp was in disarray. The burned tents and the bodies left on the ground revealed just how fierce the battle had been that night. Although the Divine Clan had managed to repel the Demon Clan's army, the price they paid was incredibly heavy.
However, the atmosphere among the Divine Clan's army remained relatively good. Especially, Jiang Xue and her companions received a warm welcome and respectful treatment.
All members of the Divine Clan knew that their survival that night, without suffering even greater losses, was largely due to this seemingly young girl.
Within the forces of Dragon City, others who witnessed the strength of the Divine Clan's experts began to gain fame in the divine realm as well.
Cai Burin was already well-known, though not for good reasons—arrogant and disobedient, acting independently. But now they had witnessed this killing god's astonishing charge. There were indeed those within the Demon Clan who could match him in strength, but throughout the entire night of battle, none could withstand his direct assaults leading his team!
Such a fierce general had almost been expelled from the Holy Divine Gate! The disciples and elders of the Holy Divine Gate felt immense shame whenever they recalled this fact.
Wang Yuanxian sometimes spoke lightly, but when he got serious, he was a commanding talent second only to Jiang Xue. Although he lacked Cai Burin's shocking impact, he possessed an exceptional strategic vision. Eventually, Dragon City's army became entangled with the Demon Clan in combat. Whenever the Demon Clan attempted to leverage their numerical superiority against Dragon City’s army, Wang Yuanxian repeatedly saw through their schemes, leading Dragon City's main forces to maneuver effectively and ensuring that his army remained united while causing even greater casualties to the Demon Clan's plans!
Man Qianyi had a personality somewhat similar to Cai Burin’s but was far more likable. While his impact might be slightly less impressive, his fierce combat power served as a cornerstone for breakthroughs. Coupled with his endless array of bizarre techniques, he fully exploited the advantages of the Serpent Clan. Any Demon Clan army that faced him would find themselves either killed or thoroughly troubled by his methods!
Evil and Malicious!
A character that even members of the Divine Clan found somewhat terrifying!
This person... never mind, no need to think too much about it; he was someone who could calmly slay his own people—perhaps simply for disrespect—and could also stain himself with blood amidst enemy ranks like a mad god. The generals of the Divine Clan reflected inwardly; aside from Jiang Xue, they would rather fight alongside Wang Yuanxian and others than face Evil and Malicious.
In addition, there were many capable experts who could stand alone in battle. Moreover, Dragon City's army had an average strength that was not lacking. Previously, upon hearing that Dragon City belonged to Zero Realm’s forces, they had looked down on them somewhat. Especially when some learned they were under Jiang Xue’s command; they were furious. But now, they dared not speak out anymore.
Even True Navigator treated Jiang Xue as an equal now, praising her in front of high-ranking figures of the Divine Clan several times and expressing a very open stance regarding Dragon City's establishment in the divine realm. He also expressed willingness to cooperate with them to resolve the turmoil caused by the Demon Clan in the divine realm.
Of course, not everyone welcomed Jiang Xue and her companions' arrival that night.
Among those who hated them most were naturally the commanders of the opposing Demon Clan.
That name—Jiang Xue and her companions had heard it as well.
Nine-Headed Demon Lord.
Although he is not one of the Ancient Demon Lords of the Demon Clan, his strength is still quite impressive. Jiang Xue has fought against him before, and he is not much weaker than the current Jiang Xue.
Of course, what is even more important is that this person learned nearly all of Wang Long's diverse ambush tactics during the chaos outside Nanhua City. This time, he managed to execute a near-perfect reproduction of those tactics. Although there were factors such as the divine race underestimating their enemy and the presence of an exceptional commander like Heavenly Slayer, it still demonstrated how outstanding the command abilities of the Nine-Headed Demon Lord truly are.
When the high-ranking members of the divine race realized they had almost been defeated by a "newbie" who wasn't even an Ancient Demon Lord, they were all furious and found it hard to believe—or rather, unwilling to accept.
While Jiang Xue's command skills may not surpass Wang Long's, she was certainly capable of imitating him. In this seemingly desperate situation, she rallied her forces and turned the tide, proving to the Demon Clan that they still have a long way to go if they wish to compete with her in tactics.
If there was anyone on the battlefield whose resentment towards Jiang Xue and her group could rival that of the Nine-Headed Demon Lord, it would definitely be Heavenly Slayer!
Failure is not a terrifying thing.
At least for someone of Heavenly Slayer's status, it absolutely isn't.
Even if they faced a significant defeat this time, Heavenly Slayer could easily find numerous excuses to absolve himself. In fact, it was indeed the Four Great Sect Leaders who had pulled most of their elite experts away. Just when they finally hoped for a True Navigator to return, he ended up severely injured after battling an Ancient Beast on his way back.
With such a figure sharing responsibility with him, who among the divine race would dare to blame him?
However, Jiang Xue's victory completely changed everything. When she pushed the divine race's army into a corner with no achievements to show for it, this young girl used her remarkable intelligence to help the divine race gradually recover from defeat!
When Heavenly Slayer saw the Demon Clan retreating in disarray, he felt not joy from victory but rather humiliation as if he had been slapped in the face.
This victory almost served as a public display of his incompetence. Although the True Navigator had also failed to turn the tide before, at least this current crisis was not due to his mismanagement.
If that wasn't enough to make him exceptionally angry, then everyone's opinions acted like kindling for a fire. When he heard that even disciples from their Game God Sect dared to discuss this battle behind his back—none of which were flattering remarks—his rage truly erupted.
"True Navigator. Why should we listen to this little girl's orders? You must have forgotten that I was appointed as the commander here when the Four Great Sect Leaders left!" In the Central Command Tent, Heavenly Slayer's tone made it clear to everyone that he was genuinely furious; he wasn't concerned about maintaining any decorum at this moment. As long as his anger could intimidate some rowdy individuals, that would be sufficient.
"Heavenly Slayer, saying such things is excessive. Regardless, Jiang Xue and her group are still our guests!"
"True Navigation Sect Master, I know she is our guest. But have you considered that I am an elder of our divine race's Four Major Sects? When you say such things, did you think about how I will stand before the disciples of Game God Sect if I remain silent this time?"
At this moment, the Heavenly Slayer knew that there was no turning back. He did not give up because of the True Navigator's words and directly stated, "To be honest, I do feel guilty towards the divine race in this war. If you intend to personally reclaim control over the Divine Army, I will absolutely not object. However, now you want me to listen to a little girl! Moreover, she is not even one of our divine race! This not only hurts my heart as the Heavenly Slayer but also wounds the hearts of all our brothers who have fought for the divine race over the years!"
The True Navigator frowned deeply; he never expected such a strong reaction from the Heavenly Slayer. In his view, after Jiang Xue's performance yesterday, making her the temporary commander of the Divine Army was indeed what everyone wanted. This would save him from having to relay messages and also establish Jiang Xue's authority, allowing her to command the Army more effectively in the future. However, he did not anticipate that this would directly ignite conflicts within the Army.
"Alright, I have already discussed this matter with the leaders of the major camps, and they did not raise any objections. Heavenly Slayer, you must prioritize the greater good."
"Everything can be prioritized for the greater good, but this time I will not back down. This little girl does have her abilities, but is it too much to appoint her as the commander of the Army based on just one performance? True Navigator, may I say something that may not be pleasant to hear? Did she repel the Demon Clan's offensive because of her own strength or because of the powerful reinforcements behind her? Imagine if I had such a fresh force at my disposal; then last night's battle would likely have developed differently!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the generals from outside the Game God Sect couldn't help but smirk.
How dare he say such a thing? With his limited abilities, even if he were given double the troops, he would still be chased around!
However, this bravado could not be directly challenged. Because now they could no longer prove that he was incapable of doing so.
"Uh." Now even the True Navigator felt somewhat troubled.
On one side were his veteran and meritorious members of the divine race, whose performance this time had been somewhat disappointing. On the other side was a heavyweight figure from a newly allied faction. More importantly, he had already appointed her in front of everyone; it was quite difficult to take back those words now.
