Although the Giant Spirit God did not directly expose their hiding place or order the temple guards to capture them, Wang Long could clearly feel that the pressure exerted on him and his companions by the Giant Spirit God was growing stronger, and it was increasingly filled with killing intent. It seemed that the significant losses suffered by the Giant Clan had already touched the psychological bottom line of this Giant Clan Leader.
Fortunately, it had not yet reached the bottom line regarding the Giant Spirit God's pride.
"That's right. This is why we believe that within the Giant Clan, no one else can handle this newly emerged terrifying enemy. It must be you, Giant Spirit Lord, who personally takes action to deliver a heavy blow to them, making them realize that the Giant Clan is not to be trifled with!"
Amohan immediately stepped forward to express his loyalty: "If that's the case, our clan is willing to be the vanguard for the Army!"
However, to their surprise, the usually impulsive and warlike Giant Spirit God did not nod in agreement this time: "I understand this matter. Of course, we cannot let our kin's grievances go unavenged, but I will wait until I have a clearer understanding! Do you two have anything else?"
Amohan and Evil Spirit exchanged glances, not daring to show too much eagerness for fear of raising the Giant Spirit God's suspicions. They could only clasp their hands and say, "Then we will wait outside for your final decision, Giant Spirit Lord. No matter what you decide in the end, we will support you."
Once they had retreated, the anger within the Giant Spirit God erupted uncontrollably!
"You two little bastards come out here! What did you say before? That this Evil Spirit and Amohan wanted to harm me? Hmph, what do you have to say now?" The battle intent of the Giant Spirit God fully erupted, causing the entire Giant Spirit Temple to tremble. "Killing my kin and tarnishing my general—if I let you live after this, then I am not worthy of being called the Giant Spirit God!"
Wang Long and his companions could no longer hide there and had no choice but to step forward: "I say, Giant Spirit Lord, your decision seems rather arbitrary right now. I admit that we did launch a surprise attack on your subordinates' tribe this time, but that is just a normal situation in a conflict between two clans. What? Are we now friendly allies? Next time we see you on the battlefield against the divine clan, will you not take action? You yourself just said that if we are going to fight, we might as well do it openly and fiercely. Why are you going back on your word now?"
Although the Giant Spirit God displayed great hostility towards him at present, Wang Long had already grasped two pieces of information from their limited conversation. First, the Giant Spirit God had very limited goodwill towards those from the Yin Ghost Clan. Second, he was someone who preferred straightforwardness; especially since his strength supported this style. Therefore, directly acknowledging their raid on the Giant Clan might actually open up a path for survival.
"Does it mean that you still hope for us to act sneakily like that Evil Spirit and Amohan against you? If that's the case, then we misjudged you as someone who is upright and does not resort to underhanded tactics. If so, just kill us now."
"Heh heh, do you think I wouldn't dare?" Although the Giant Spirit God appeared mocking in his words, Wang Long could see from his eyes that he was already moved by what he said. This gamble seemed to have paid off.
Of course, the Giant Spirit God is not a fool. If he cannot truly persuade him, the consequences would still be grim.
"Giant Spirit Lord, I wonder if you would dare to make a bet with me?"
"A bet?" The Giant Spirit God's eyes brightened. For someone as high and mighty as the Giant Clan Leader, this was one of his few small pleasures. However, for thousands of years, who would dare to gamble against him? Wang Long's words had struck a chord with him, and even the intense battle intent around them seemed to dissipate somewhat.
"Exactly. Just now, Amohan and the Evil Spirit wanted you, Giant Spirit Lord, to personally deal with us, right? Why not agree directly? I can guarantee that they want to use this opportunity for some scheme. If I win, then please give us a chance to compete on the battlefield in the future. If I lose, I will take my own life in front of you without any hesitation!"
Hearing Wang Long's bold wager, Jiang Xue, Song Shuping, and the others couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in their hearts.
Impressive! This is what it means to have skin thick enough to be a city wall.
In essence, Wang Long's words were merely that if he successfully alerted them this time and prevented a rebellion from his subordinates and the Yin Ghost Clan, then they would be given a chance at survival. But if he guessed wrong, then death was inevitable—there was no way they could escape from the Giant Spirit God.
Yet somehow, Wang Long managed to express this with such bravado, seemingly disregarding life and death. How could anyone not admire that?
"Alright!" Indeed, upon hearing this, the Giant Spirit God felt a long-lost sense of excitement rise within him. "I’ll take this bet with you. I want to see if your guess is as solid as your confidence. And after so many years with Amohan, what new tricks does he want to play now?"
When Jiang Xue heard him agree, she hurriedly asked as if afraid he might change his mind: "If that's the case, then Giant Spirit Lord, we should have some sort of title while following you, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t we be immediately seen through by the Evil Spirit and Amohan? If they are on guard, they naturally won’t proceed with their plans. How do we resolve this issue?"
The Giant Spirit God paused: "How would I know? Our Giant Clan is filled with tall and strong warriors; it’s impossible for us to come up with a title for you to carry."
"Uh, if Giant Spirit Lord could trust us a bit more and let us leave here first to follow your Army..."
"There's no way! Do you really think I'm a fool?"
"Ahem, we will definitely not leave your sensing range! You can set a distance that ensures we won't be discovered by weaker individuals while still allowing us to remain within your sensing area. How does that sound?" Wang Long made a concession.
"Hmm?" The Giant Spirit God thought for a moment. With this arrangement, he wouldn't have to worry about Wang Long and his group pulling any tricks, so he nodded in agreement: "Alright, then. You absolutely cannot leave our camp more than a hundred feet away! As for how you hide yourselves, that's up to you! Don't tell me you can sneak into Yong Tian Peak but can't evade those scouting teams."
"Okay, it's settled then." A glimmer of eerie light flashed in Wang Long's eyes.
On the surface, he seemed to propose a mutually acceptable plan, but in reality, he was also testing the Giant Spirit God's strength!
At least now they knew that the Giant Spirit God could sense powerful individuals like them at a distance of about a hundred feet. Although this factor wasn't the only basis for judgment for someone of his caliber, it did provide some reference.
With the Giant Spirit God's tacit approval, they easily left the Giant Spirit Temple. Once again transforming into Yin Ghosts, they quietly approached within a hundred feet of the Giant Spirit Temple.
