"Hey, Aka, what's going on over there? Why is the Army suddenly so tense?"
"You still don't know? I heard a team from the Yin Ghost Clan has come directly to our Skyward Mountain. And judging by their strength, our Giant Spirit Guard alone might not be able to handle them. We can only hold them off for now and call for other Giant Spirit Guards to come assist."
"The Yin Ghost Clan? Weren't they our allies before? Now that the divine race is so powerful, why are they coming here to make trouble for us?"
"Exactly! Did the Yin Ghost Clan eat too much and get bored? How dare they provoke us, especially here at Sky Pillar! No matter how strong they are, with the Giant Spirit God and our several Giant Spirit Guards here, they will come and go without success!"
"Come on, don't jump to conclusions so quickly. The Yin Ghost Clan has always been unpredictable. I doubt they would be foolish enough to confront us directly. Other forces are watching closely; why would they come after us?"
"Anyway, our task now is to stay vigilant and not let the Yin Ghost Clan use diversion tactics. If they have any business here, that's fine; even if they have some ill intentions, we don't need to be polite with them!"
"That's right!" The last giant who spoke seemed to be older and more composed, quickly gaining the agreement of most people.
Although their conversation was just casual chatter and these individuals were not particularly significant figures in the Giant Clan, it still held considerable reference value for Wang Long. At least now they knew that the Yin Ghost Clan's Army had indeed arrived at Sky Pillar without prior notice to these Giant Clans, which led to today's misunderstanding.
While secretly hoping their misunderstanding would deepen—ideally leading to a direct conflict between the Yin Ghost Clan and the Giant Clan—they also understood that if the Yin Ghost Clan truly had some sinister plan against the Giant Spirit God, they would certainly be well-prepared. They would have a way to convince these dim-witted Giant Clans of their claims.
Going out now would be pointless and only expose them further, so a few of them could only continue waiting to see if any new information would come from another direction.
It seemed that luck was still on their side as they soon saw a team of Giant Clan warriors rushing out from their camp.
"Hua Er, what's happening over there? Hasn't the fighting started yet? Why did you guys come over here?" The older giant who spoke earlier asked first.
"Forget it; there's nothing worth fighting about. This time Lord Amohan personally brought those from the Yin Ghost Clan up to Sky Pillar, and along with them were their own Army. There's no storm brewing."
"Amohan? How could they bring people up to Sky Pillar?" The Giant Clan members were still indignant. "Sky Pillar is our Giant Spirit Guard's territory; it's our glorious mission to guard the Giant Spirit Lord! What kind of calculations is he making?"
Wang Long listened intently below and finally learned the name of the formidable enemy he faced last time.
"Heh heh, let's not overthink it. We understand what you're saying; Amohan knows it too, but does it matter? Over these years, the combat performance of various tribes has been average; only Amohan and a few tribes have shown some promise. Especially Amohan—rumor has it their combat strength is already comparable to our Giant Spirit Guard and has gained significant favor from the Giant Spirit Lord. We can't just use this as a reason to condemn them."
A few Giant Warriors grew even angrier upon hearing this: "So you're saying that even if they violate ancestral rules this time, we can only watch helplessly? If that's the case, let them guard Sky Pillar; we'll go outside and fight the divine race!"
"That's about it, right? When we arrived, we saw the Yin Ghost Clan's Evil Spirit and Amohan looking quite arrogant, and our Lord Rada didn't dare to question them. Alright, you all stay here on guard while we take the news to the others. We don't want to run into any small groups of stragglers from the Yin Ghost Clan fighting among themselves."
His last words, "among ourselves," immediately drew cold snorts from the Giant Clan warriors, but more than that, there was a sense of helplessness.
Wang Long felt a surge of joy in his heart: "Hehe, since they don't dare to teach that Amohan and the Yin Ghost Clan a lesson, why don't we do a good deed and teach those arrogant fellows a lesson ourselves?"
They had already gathered the necessary information and had no reason to linger there. After moving behind some bushes, Jiang Xue sighed and said, "Did you all hear what they said? If we could transform into Yin Ghosts, we could move freely within this Sky Pillar."
"Actually, it's not impossible," Wang Long said thoughtfully.
"Uh? There's a way? You’re not suggesting we actually find a rock to hit ourselves with, are you?"
"Hehe, did you forget that I have the Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs? The ghostly energy there is abundant; if we find a few minor spirits to disguise ourselves with, we should be able to fool these Giant Clan warriors."
Song Shuping's eyes lit up but quickly turned to a sigh: "Your idea might work, but the power of your Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs artifact is too great. Not only would using it attract attention, even just summoning it would definitely alert everyone in the Sky Pillar, including that most troublesome Giant Spirit God. At that point, forget about disguising ourselves; escaping would be a problem."
"Hehe, don’t worry. If it were an unreliable suggestion, I wouldn’t mention it. Just watch me."
Ignoring Song Shuping's skepticism, Wang Long took out his newly acquired Suppressing Spirit Sword. He activated his Spiritual Essence, forming a circular barrier around them that exerted significant suppressive power over their own Spiritual Essence.
"Uh, this is... Dragon Head, you can already use that spirit sword?" Although Ying Sang had not personally experienced the power of the Suppressing Spirit Sword before it was subdued like Jiang Xue and Wang Long, he had heard them talk about it. Now seeing Wang Long demonstrate its new ability made him realize what was happening.
"It's just that I've grasped a bit of its workings. If I were to contend with a master, I'd definitely suffer greatly. Well then, even if some Spiritual Essence leaks out now, it shouldn't be detected by the Giant Clan. Who wants to go first?"
The others looked at each other before finally focusing their gaze on Wang Long.
"A group of ungrateful fellows!" Wang Long's forehead twitched twice, but he ultimately decided to endure it for now. "Fine, you all stay in this circle and watch me!"
"Who goes there!" The Giant Squad had just navigated past a rocky area when they sensed a chilling aura ahead, quickly becoming alert.
"Hehe, you gentlemen are experts from the Giant Clan. I am a member of the scouting team under Lord Lihun. I’m not very familiar with your Sky Pillar area, so I accidentally got lost, hehe."
"Oh? Then why aren't you with your scouting team?" Upon hearing that he was from the Yin Ghost Clan, and sensing the ghostly aura emanating from him, the members of the Giant Clan had no doubts.
Of course, they were also angry that the Yin Ghost Clan had directly intruded into their sacred Sky Pillar, so they were not inclined to be friendly.
"Hehe, my scouting team is naturally with me; I just came here to conduct a detailed investigation in this direction. Gentlemen, may I ask where our Army has reached?"
The leader of the Giant Clan looked down arrogantly and said, "Hmph! What a bunch of useless people! With your kind of incompetence, losing track of your own Army, how do you think you are worthy to discuss cooperation with our great Giant Clan? I really don't understand what Lord Amohan is thinking!"
"Alright, such lowly beings pose no threat to the Giant Spirit Lord. We need not trouble ourselves with these small fries. Kid, listen well: your Army is currently following Lord Amohan up to the peak to discuss cooperation with our Giant Spirit Lord. Just follow the mountain path upwards and inquire further when you get there."
"Thank you all."
