Since the middle of the year, the situation in the divine realm has developed in a way that far exceeds anyone's expectations.
First, the Demon Clan suddenly began to counterattack after a long period of silence, leaving the divine race completely stunned.
Now, as the most powerful force in the divine realm, the divine race has finally unleashed its vast and sharp claws. Previously vulnerable due to their scattered powers or individual seclusion, they have now made all their forces recognize the terrifying might of this former ruler of the divine realm.
Wherever the Army goes, even those beasts that did not provoke them are left in rivers of blood, with no corpses remaining. In places where several Ancient Colossal Deities have descended, there are dazzling colors and radiant lights. No demon, including Demon King Brahma, dares to challenge their authority head-on.
Corresponding to their immense power is their efficiency. Countless elders and above have been dispatched, and within half a month, they have completed the redeployment of the major cities they now control. While the entire divine realm's Demon Clan and Giant Clan are still in a state of panic, they suddenly launched an attack that directly broke through the Demon Clan's natural fortress, Cloudpiercer!
The subsequent events seemed to reverse the previous attacks by the Demon Clan on the divine race. The once formidable Brahma Demon King has now turned into a turtle withdrawing its head, unwilling to engage in battle as one Demon Clan stronghold after another is swept away by the divine race. The Demon Clan shows no significant retaliation; their once large and morale-boosted Demon Army seems to have vanished into thin air.
As a dark thicket was pushed aside, Wang Long and Shunshen observed a group of Demon Warriors passing in front of them. Given their strength, they naturally had no reason to fear them; however, upon seeing the dense crowd in the distance, both wisely chose to think twice before acting.
After observing for a while and gaining a general understanding of the situation within the Demon Clan, Wang Long signaled Shunshen with a glance. Song Shuping slowly placed his right hand on Wang Long's shoulder, and then both of them instantly vanished from that place.
"How is it? Are there enemies from the Demon Clan ahead? Impressive, right?"
The two of them instantly teleported to the place where they had previously separated from Cai Burin and Evil and Malicious. As soon as they appeared, Cai Burin couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, that's right. The area ahead is crawling with Demon Clan members. However, they are all just Low-Level Demons. There aren't even a few Demon Lords, let alone high-ranking demons. With such strength, no matter how many there are, they are just cannon fodder. What exactly are they trying to do?"
Shunshen shook his head, unable to answer Wang Long's question. In fact, he had been pondering this issue since earlier.
"What? All Low-Level Demons?" Cai Burin was taken aback, while Evil and Malicious had no impression of what Low-Level Demons were and remained silent, waiting for them to come up with a conclusion. "Then why are we hesitating here? While they still don't know we've infiltrated, let's charge in and catch them off guard! Hehe, without even a few high-ranking demons, isn't that just serving us a feast?"
"That's why I said we shouldn't act rashly; we can't see through the Demon Clan's intentions. Although there are a shocking number of Low-Level Demons, if even we aren't their match, then there's no way they can handle the Army of the divine race. But doesn't the Demon Clan know this? If they are fully aware, then why send these cannon fodder to their deaths?"
"It would be great if we could guess that," Song Shuping said with a wry smile. "These Low-Level Demons have always been treated as expendable or burdensome by the Demon Clan. However, generally speaking, they wouldn't be sent to die like this."
Wang Long gazed at the layers of mountains in the distance and nodded. "If even Shunshen can't discern their true intentions, then we shouldn't waste time on that. However, one thing we can be sure of is that the Demon Clan's actions in launching surprise attacks on the major cities of the divine race demonstrate that their actions are coordinated and planned. This cannot be a coincidence; they must have some follow-up strategy."
"Hey! What's the use of just guessing? We still can't see through their follow-up plans! How can we counteract that?" Cai Burin felt a bit disheartened upon hearing Wang Long dwell on this "nonsense."
"Hehe, I'm not just talking nonsense. This is the fundamental basis for our actions," Wang Long explained. "The reason I decided to have Ying Sang and others wait for us at Fire Mountain City while we infiltrate the Demon Clan with an elite team is that I know there will be significant changes within the Demon Clan soon. This time I came partly to support a friend and partly to see if we can find some opportunities amidst their chaos. Hehe, although we can't decipher the Demon Clan's follow-up plans yet, we know they've already begun to act. Their attention will surely be focused on the battles ahead, which means their defenses in the rear will likely be lax—that's our opportunity! What I mean is to insert ourselves into their rear; as long as they start fighting in front, regardless of whether our anticipated upheaval occurs on time or not, we can create quite a disturbance. This will make the Demon Clan feel like they can't manage both ends at once. That would significantly aid the divine race's progress on the front lines."
Originally, Wang Long didn't care much about the war between the divine race and the Demon Clan. However, now that he had new high-ranking generals under his command who were all from the divine race, he felt compelled to lean towards them in various aspects out of consideration for their feelings.
After all, although they were no longer part of the divine race's Army, it was possible that they might directly oppose them in the future. Therefore, if they could fight as "allies" of the divine race now, they would naturally understand his good intentions.
"Great! That's really well said; now that's what I call a real man." A few overly enthusiastic young men listened intently to his analysis. "Hehe, I actually think so too; they're just a bunch of cannon fodder anyway. No matter how much you say about such enemies, it doesn't matter!"
"You came here not for some kind of rivalry or to show off in front but to fundamentally strike at the heart of the Demon Clan and avenge that previous arrow!"
"Yes, what the leader said is absolutely correct." Now, with their increasing understanding of Wang Long's abilities, Cai Burin and Shunshen Song Shuping have become more obedient to his words. Especially when the two of them couldn't come up with any strong plans. "But, leader, you always said that this time the Demon Clan would undergo a major change. What exactly does that mean? It doesn't seem to refer to the current counterattack by the Divine Clan."
Wang Long teased, "Well, you'll find out in due time. In any case, the Demon Clan has internal issues, which just happens to allow us to take advantage of it. However, it's really frustrating that people from the Game God Sect can win so easily. This place has no value for us anymore. Let's continue deeper into the Demon Clan."
"Hehe, deeper? Exciting! Leader, wherever you go, Old Cai will not fall behind."
As Wang Long and his group ventured deeper into the Demon Clan's territory than any spies from the Divine Clan, their earlier feigned weakness had become increasingly apparent.
After encountering several teams that were almost purely cannon fodder, they finally saw some experts from the Demon Clan.
However, what puzzled Cai Burin and Shunshen Song Shuping was that even when they encountered those solitary Ancient Demons, Wang Long showed no intention of taking action, prioritizing the preservation of his own strength. It seemed he was already very satisfied just to observe the distribution of power within the Demon Clan.
"Leader, at this rate, if we go any deeper, we'll probably run into Brahma Demon King soon! What kind of plan do you have? Just tell us directly." It wasn't that Cai Burin and the others were afraid of anything; it was just that rushing forward aimlessly made him anxious—if they unleashed their full strength now, they could already annihilate more than two cannon fodder teams or several solitary Ancient Demon Lords!
Just as Wang Long was about to respond, a dazzling Eerie Light suddenly rose from the distant west. It was neither holy nor demonic; it seemed to be a spiritual light emanating from some kind of heavenly material or earthly treasure. Pure and untainted!
"It looks like this time the target of the Divine Clan is that," Wang Long murmured.
