Including True Navigator was also taken aback: "Wang Long, you came to Xuanmen so seriously just to make such a request?"
Wang Long smiled and said, "In a military confrontation, intelligence is paramount. This is a matter of utmost importance. There is absolutely no intention to underestimate Xuanmen. Moreover, we should take this opportunity to visit True Navigator and the esteemed individuals of Xuanmen to demonstrate our sincerity in hoping for long-lasting peace between our two forces."
Wang Long knew that True Navigator and the friendly faction from Dragon City would not harbor such thoughts, but he was even more aware that some people would certainly interpret their goodwill as insincerity.
At the same time, this was another form of showing strength.
—Do not think that just because we have come to your door, we are begging you. Even without the power of Xuanmen, Dragon City can still deal with the Yin Ghost Clan on its own!
Elder Wuxuan seemed to grasp the underlying meaning behind Wang Long's words better than the other elders who had visibly relaxed. Instead, he snorted coldly: "Stop being so self-satisfied. Do you really think the Yin Ghost Clan is an easy target? Not to mention that the strength of the King of Hell is nearly on par with Brahma Demon King; even his subordinate Blood Kill is someone whom no one in the divine realm wishes to confront. Moreover, the Yin Ghost Clan never lines up their troops; your battle formations are utterly useless against them!"
"Oh?" Wang Long appeared intrigued. Regardless of Elder Wuxuan's unpleasant tone, he had at least revealed a very important piece of information for them. "I would like to ask how the Yin Ghost Clan conducts their operations."
"The Yin Ghost Clan relies on subtlety and deception. Their weaknesses in direct confrontation have caused them significant losses in the past. I once led Xuanmen disciples to defeat ten times our number of Yin Ghosts," Elder Wuxuan felt flattered by Wang Long's praise and continued without restraint, "At that time, we hardly regarded the Yin Ghost Clan; aside from the King of Hell being somewhat troublesome, those Yin Ghosts would flee at the sight of our divine warriors. However, they later became clever; every battle they avoid direct confrontation with us and resort to various schemes to engage us. Although they were ultimately defeated by us, they still inflicted considerable casualties!"
"How marvelous! It seems these Yin Ghost Clan members are quite cunning!" Wang Long's response was perfectly timed, expressing both surprise and admiration for Elder Wuxuan's impressive achievements.
"Hmph! Indeed! These Yin Ghost Clan rely on their strengths and often employ ambush tactics combined with their Ghostly Illusion Formation, making it easy for them to catch others off guard. However, in front of our Xuanmen's formidable strength, they can only retreat. In the end, we surrounded them and defeated them! With your level of strength, you probably wouldn't even find their main force before being nearly wiped out by them and still dare to boast here."
"In that case, what kind of ambush tactics do they have? How do they conduct their operations? And what exactly is their Ghostly Illusion Formation?"
"..." Elder Wuxuan glared angrily, "Hmph! So it turns out you were trying to extract information from me! Dream on!"
True Navigator laughed heartily, "Brother Wuxuan, we are allies in dealing with the Yin Ghost Clan; why be so stingy?"
"True Navigation Sect Master! This person just now played tricks on me. I was momentarily careless and fell for his words, but that does not mean I agreed to an alliance with their Dragon City!"
True Navigator shook his head, "However, Wang Long did not explicitly say he wanted to form an alliance with us; he merely came seeking our assistance. Brother Wuxuan, regardless of whether we acknowledge their strength to confront the Yin Gui Clan, considering the favor we owe them from our last encounter, shouldn't we at least provide some information?"
"Uh..." Elder Wuxuan nodded silently, realizing that if it were merely about repaying a favor, they indeed had no grounds to argue with Dragon City. However, the issue lay in their unwillingness to admit the "favor" they had received from the people of Dragon City, which was a reality they could not shake off.
"Since True Navigation Sect Master has already given his approval, please guide us." Wang Long would certainly not give them a chance to retract their words and continued directly from True Navigator's statement, "Thank you, seniors of Xuanmen."
"Hmph!" Wuxuan and the others exchanged glances, but within such a short time, they could not find a clear reason to oppose and could only swallow their frustration for now.
Several wisps of clear clouds passed by them as Jiang Xue grew increasingly fond of the environment around Xuanmen.
Wang Long smiled as he looked at Jiang Xue, who rarely showed such a relaxed expression lately. A thought suddenly arose in his mind: it would be nice to spend a lifetime with his beloved in such a serene environment.
However, he ultimately realized that this was merely an illusory thought. As the heir of Dragon City, even when he was powerless, he could not afford to let go of the hopes resting on his shoulders. Now, it was even less possible for him to cast aside such responsibilities. The entire Dragon City had no room for retreat; any slip-up would lead to being crushed by the various factions of the divine realm that were already stirring.
At this moment, they were flying towards the Hall of Letters. Given their distance, they could reach it in an instant; however, considering whether the formations in Floating City had sufficient countermeasures against such actions added a sense of gravity to their atmosphere, making Wang Long and the others cautious.
Fortunately, their speed was not too slow. Although the distance between them in the clouds was not as close as it appeared to the eye, overall, it did not hinder their pace significantly.
A massive gate slowly came into view. Wang Long could sense that the grand hall seemed not to be stationary above the clouds but was moving towards them!
They did not ask many questions, but it could be inferred that these floating movements were part of a huge magic circle belonging to the Floating City. Such power was undoubtedly at the core of their interests, and they did not want Elder Wuxuan and others, who already had misunderstandings about them, to have further associations.
"Please come in, everyone. Wuxuan, Tian Xuan, you two come in with me as well. The rest of you can wait outside the hall," the True Navigator calmly instructed while standing at the entrance of the hall.
Wang Long smiled slightly: "Jiang Xue, Cai Burin, Song Shuping, you three come in with me. The others should wait outside and not cause any trouble."
Since they were treated with courtesy, Wang Long naturally returned the gesture. His statement improved the opinions of several elders who had previously harbored hostility towards them.
Upon entering the Hall of Letters, Wang Long and the others couldn't help but be amazed!
This place could truly be described as a sea of books!
