The abnormal situation there stunned the warriors of Dragon City. They never expected such a terrifying figure to come as a scout, and to appear in such numbers was certainly not just a matter of you taking the sword from me.
However, Jiang Xue and other high-ranking officials of Dragon City quickly recognized the identity of that individual, and they were so delighted that they almost jumped up, waving their hands and saying, "Elder Liu, don't rush to attack; it's Wang Long and his group!"
"Yes, I have recognized them as well," said one elder from the Liu Family, already sweating profusely.
It was ridiculous; given the immense power of Dragon Lord and the others, they had previously considered taking action against the Dragon Head. They must be tired of living.
Fortunately, their behavior was merely a matter of duty and did not involve disrespect towards Dragon Gate. He had already stated that as long as it was for the sake of battle, even if they made some inappropriate moves, their actions would not be pursued.
In front of the Five Dragons stood two mysterious figures dressed in black—standing out so conspicuously in the Great Gobi, it seemed they had absolute confidence in their own strength.
However, they were somewhat unfortunate; today Wang Long had just returned along this very path, and in the end, at the cost of a few small soldiers, he had trapped them here!
"Damn it, let's fight them!" After fleeing for a while, one warrior suddenly realized that with their current strength, they could gain nothing. All that awaited them was disdain.
Wang Long sneered and extended his right hand, conjuring a giant palm in mid-air that absorbed all their attacking treasures and Spiritual Essence together. They posed no threat to him or to those surrounding him who were trying to encircle them.
Among these scouts, they could indeed be considered skilled fighters; however, facing top-tier experts like Wang Long was simply insufficient.
Just as they raised their treasures to counterattack again, a flash of sword light passed by—not killing them but instead forming a block of ice that froze both of them. By the time they thawed out, there would generally be no issues.
"Dragon Head!" Unlike others, at this moment, the usually calm Jiang Xue no longer cared whether there were any live captives; all she could see was Wang Long standing safely there.
And none of this was an Illusion!
"Wang Long!"
Wang Long smiled from the bottom of his heart as he watched Jiang Xue fly over on her sword directly into his embrace.
She vented her worries and anxieties about Wang Long during this time.
And now, all of that was behind them.
"Alright, Jiang Xue, you've always been very strong. Why are you showing this kind of expression now? The elders of Xuanmen are still here."
Jiang Xue blushed and left Wang Long's embrace. "Hmph! I'm just worried about you. This time, you guys have ventured deep into the heart of the Demon Clan! Moreover, I witnessed firsthand the gap between the Brahma Demon King and our experts. I'm really afraid that when they return, they might run into you. If that happens, even if you can come back, the losses will be tremendous."
Wang Long nodded and said, "You were almost right. We spent several days breaking through the Demon Clan's stronghold and burned it to the ground. Even so, we still left some clues for them to track us down. After all, that's a five-thousand-strong army; finding a hiding place isn't easy. Fortunately, there was an Ancient Beast with us at that time, and its familiarity with the Demon’s Swamp surpassed that of the Demon Clan. In the end, it led us to use the terrain to avoid a confrontation with the Brahma Demon King and his reinforcements. We broke through the valley of the Demon’s Swamp and escaped."
"We should have returned here earlier, but that area has been completely controlled by the Game God Sect and the Demon Clan, so we had to take a long detour. That Ancient Beast has already left us to return to the Demon’s Swamp to gather intelligence on the Demon Clan and check on its disciples' movements, trying to find a way to rescue those Ancient Beasts controlled by the Brahma Demon King."
"Oh? What ability does it have to rescue those Ancient Beasts that have already been tamed by the Brahma Demon King?"
The reason why the Demon Clan was able to defeat them in such a short time was largely due to those ten incredibly powerful Ancient Beasts. If what Wang Long mentioned about that Ancient Beast being able to achieve this is true, then it would be an immeasurable blow to the strength of the Demon Clan!
Of course, if it fails and ends up being re-tamed by the Brahma Demon King, they would lose another powerful ally to the Demon Clan.
"Well, the reason why the Brahma Demon King can control so many Ancient Beasts is precisely because he learned how from this beast. Moreover, it has been captured by him for thousands of years. Yet, the Brahma Demon King has never been able to do anything about it. This indicates something significant. However, we can't help much in this matter. Let's just let it try on its own. We circled around from outside the Northern Qian Mountain Range and just returned when we sensed these two fellows setting up some formations in the distance. Seeing they weren't from our Dragon City made me curious, so I chased them back."
The Elder Tian Xuan stepped forward to take a closer look at these two individuals and sneered, "Hey, I wondered who it was! It seems like the Game God Sect has thoroughly sold out their own kind! Not only did they team up with the Demon Clan to harm our Xuanmen and Holy Divine Gate's Allied Forces, but now they're even sending spies for the Demon Clan. Your Master of Victory is really becoming more and more ambitious!"
"So they are from the Game God Sect! I thought so. When it comes to utilizing formations, although the Demon Clan has powerful magic arrays, they are still not as proficient as the divine race. How could they be setting up reconnaissance formations from such a distance?"
Jiang Xue's expression grew serious as she said, "It seems we need to pay extra attention to this aspect in the future. After joining the Game God Sect, our enemies will definitely make significant progress in utilizing formations. If we don't take precautions early on, we'll surely suffer losses later on. By the way, where are those warriors? Did only you few come back?"
Before she finished speaking, they suddenly heard cheers erupting from Little Valley in the distance.
Wang Long smiled and said, "Look, we just arrived a bit earlier than them; that's why we're here now. Our army has also returned to base. But unfortunately, in order to break through the Demon Clan's Defensive Array as quickly as possible, we sacrificed over six hundred warriors—more than one-tenth of our forces. These were our most elite fighters."
Jiang Xue comforted him: "But I know even better that after going through such fierce battles, their progress must be even faster."
"That's true. Now these four thousand warriors are all elite among elites. Once our strength improves further, I believe countless among these four thousand will quickly rise to elder level experts in no time, and those newly promoted elders will soon be able to stand alone."
Wang Long's words were great news for Dragon City and even for innovating the entire alliance; however, it still made several elders of Xuanmen feel somewhat bittersweet.
Originally, with this great battle, their Xuanmen warriors should have gained considerable improvement too. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a trial marked by a significant defeat.
"Alright, if you want to ask about our line of work, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Jiang Xue, what is the purpose of inviting several elders from Xuanmen this time?"
"Firstly, since you have already accepted them, this gathering serves as bait to lure these people into a trap. Secondly, I want to plan a new round of actions. Although we are currently facing pressure from the Demon Clan and the Game God Sect, the Demon’s Swamp has been destroyed by you, and the Game God Sect is dealing with the Evil Extermination Sect and the Heavenly Binding Sect Master from the Holy Divine Gate. They won't be able to deal with us immediately. Moreover, with the situation at the Giant Clan, now is a good opportunity for us to counterattack. If we simply hold our ground, they will eventually resolve their internal issues and consolidate their strength from the Giant Clan to launch an attack on us across the Northern Qian Mountain Range. That would put us in real danger."
Wang Long agreed, "That's right. In warfare, offense and defense must go hand in hand; merely holding our position is too passive. Furthermore, as far as I know, our opponents are not just the Demon Clan and the Game God Sect."
With Wang Long's participation, this gathering became more formal. The agreements reached here would be recognized as action goals for their entire alliance after Elder Wuxuan's approval.
Wang Long understood the current situation between Xuanmen and the Holy Divine Gate, as well as the major battle that took place that night.
He learned that due to True Navigator's sacrifice, most of their forces were able to retreat successfully, which was enough to withstand counterattacks from the Demon Clan and Game God Sect, giving him some peace of mind.
"Please take our opinions back to Xuanmen and have Elder Wuxuan consider them. My suggestions for our next targets are threefold. First, we need to find a way to rescue the Heavenly Binding Sect Master and his group. Since both the Water God and Fire God from Holy Divine Gate are involved this time, it would be best if Holy Divine Gate takes charge of this operation; I believe they will be the most proactive. Second, we should assist the Evil Extermination Sect in stabilizing their position. It may be nearly impossible for them to return to their former state, but at least they need to establish a foothold in the Northern Qian Mountain Range; they absolutely cannot be completely driven out or directly annihilated. This responsibility should fall on Xuanmen. Lastly, regarding the Giant Clan, I ask Xuanmen to send a few elders familiar with that area to act alongside us. However, given our distance from there, we cannot fully understand the current situation; we will have to assess things when we arrive. In a few days, I will go with several others from Long City to Floating City to pay respects to True Navigator. At that time, we can decide together with Wuxuan Daoist on how to proceed."
"Ha ha, that would be best." Although matters within Xuanmen could largely be decided by Elder Tian Xuan, it was still advisable to discuss this with Elder Wuxuan first. Therefore, Elder Tian Xuan was very grateful that Wang Long did not require them to express their stance on the spot.
"Rest assured; I will do my utmost to persuade Wuxuan Senior Brother to agree with this strategy. Moreover, Jiang Xue has just shown us that sometimes an Initiative Strike is indeed the best way to solve problems. We at Xuanmen are also looking forward to an opportunity for redemption! Well then, Dragon Head, I take my leave!"
