“Old Cow's Nose, if you think you are so great, why don't you go yourself? Don't think we don't know what you're up to. Hey, you act all righteous, but you won't even sacrifice yourself. It's surprising that you're still a cultivator.”
“You! The old Taoist following the main force has its purpose. If the Demon Clan has set traps ahead, then I can discover and resolve them at the fastest speed. Otherwise, with your reckless charge, you might end up being ambushed without even realizing it.”
“Enough already.” Victory Over Heaven not only possesses great strength but is also quite skilled with words; someone like Zhenhang is simply no match for him. “Traps from the Demon Clan? Don't make me laugh. Facing the strength of us Four Great Sect Leaders, even if they set traps, what good would it do? The attack on our rear camp is the best proof; they don't dare confront us head-on, so they only dare to ambush our warriors after we leave. As long as you have compassion and return to assist us immediately, you can rest assured about what lies ahead. No matter what traps there are, our combined strength can break through them. At worst, we can remove this entire mountainous area; I refuse to believe that without the advantage of terrain, they can set up any formations!”
“Fine, fine, if I don't leave now, it would seem like I have ulterior motives.” True Navigator, having cultivated for many years, naturally places great importance on the name of “justice.” At this moment, being pressured by Victory Over Heaven, he waved his dust whisk and decided not to argue further, calling for his disciples to leave in anger.
In fact, much of the disputes at higher levels are no different from petty grievances among neighbors at lower levels. Especially for those who have lived a long time like them; apart from pride, they have little else to pursue.
“Hmph, I didn't expect that after a few years apart, Victory Over Heaven's skills with words have improved so much. I just wonder who you plan to target next,” Heaven's Binding said coldly with a smile.
Victory Over Heaven waved his hand and said, “No matter what, I wouldn't dare use my skills against you two. Heaven's Binding, you are still the leader of my Four Major Sects. I've had my fill of North Heaven's temper before and don't want to clash with him again. The reason I sent him away this time is that this old Taoist was dragging things out too much. Now that the Extraordinary Treasure has appeared and the Demon Clan has shown their hand, we have nothing left to worry about.”
North Heaven paused: “Weren't you just advocating for caution? Why does it sound like you're suggesting we take a more aggressive approach?”
“Exactly! If I hadn't been so cautious before, this old Taoist would have been too cunning to just walk away like that. Heaven's Binding, I know North Heaven won't object; now it's up to your decision.”
Heaven's Binding revealed a proud smile: “I think that saying is very apt. No matter what traps or enemies lie ahead, we can break through with our strength; what is there to be concerned about? Do they really think their tricks can fool us? They must be underestimating our power! Void Sword! Slash!”
A flash of extraordinary light illuminated the sky as if even the terrifying artifact dimmed in its presence. Amidst the waves of Heavenly Collapse and Earthly Rupture, Heaven's Binding stepped forward; under such astonishing destructive power, even any key point of a formation would surely be obliterated!
This is the advantage of absolute strength!
Inside Yichuan Peak.
The Flying Spirit Demon Lord was racing forward with his subordinates.
The two points of the Four Great Demon Lords had already been forced apart due to the sudden turn taken by someone named Wang Long!
Thinking back on this incident made Flying Spirit Demon Lord grit his teeth in anger!
They cautiously circled around Yichuan Peak, but the Flying Cross Formation indicated they had split into two paths; one path definitely contained Shunshen.
Although it was unclear what kind of scheme Wang Long and others were plotting, the Demon Lord of the Great Blade made an accurate judgment immediately: first pursue and eliminate the isolated Wang Long, while on the other side, due to the presence of Shunshen, it would be difficult for them to catch him.
They never expected that Wang Long would be so cunning. He directly targeted a weakness in their formation and flew into the dense forest here.
To be fair, although Yichuan Peak is large and the area of the forest is considerable, with the combined strength of the Four Great Demon Lords, they could easily clear the entire forest by force.
However, doing so would turn the entire mountain into ruins. If Wang Long was ruthless enough to endure one of their strikes and get buried under the rubble, then even if they cleared the official forest here, they would never find Wang Long.
It can be said that this seemingly desperate move by Wang Long struck at half of their vital point!
Fortunately, there was still another half!
Thanks to the sensing ability of the Four Great Demon Lords through the Flying Cross Star Morning Annihilation Formation, they could generally determine Wang Long's location. However, to avoid missing him, the Four Great Demon Lords had no choice but to split into four groups and coordinate their search.
He was not angry because he was alone and feared he couldn't defeat Wang Long. After all, in terms of strength, he was confident that he was stronger than Wang Long.
The most important thing was that he felt the relationship between hunter and prey seemed to have reversed. When they abandoned Shunshen and Cai Burin to pursue him, it seemed that Wang Long had taken the initiative, leaving them with no bargaining power but to play this game according to Wang Long's rules.
While he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt his connection to Wang Long cut off!
What was going on?
The Flying Spirit Demon Lord immediately stopped in shock and looked around. His first reaction was to check if there was a problem with the Flying Cross Star Morning Annihilation Formation. But he could still sense the operation of the formation, which was connected to his spiritual awareness; if something went wrong there, he would definitely feel it!
If that were the case, what trick had Wang Long played to completely disappear from their sensing network?
How could they pursue Wang Long now? Would they be groping in the dark?
At that moment, the Flying Spirit Demon Lord saw a Ghostly Bloom flash in the distant sky.
That was a signal they had previously agreed upon with the Demon Lord of the Great Blade. It indicated that something had changed and instructed them to gather immediately.
However!
The Flying Spirit Demon Lord now had a rare opportunity for independent action and had already gotten very close to his target! — Although he still didn't know where Wang Long was hiding.
But there was absolutely no way he would obediently return now! He would not let go of this chance to prove himself stronger than the Demon Lord of the Great Blade!
As for not following military orders.
Screw that, there will be plenty of excuses to deal with them later.
Thinking of this, the Flying Spirit Demon Lord suddenly raised his right hand, causing all the subordinates who were preparing to head back to stop. After all, the Flying Spirit Demon Lord was their master. They would follow his commands.
"I have found a lead on that Wang Long. We won't meet up with them just yet; we will continue moving forward immediately. Don't let that brat escape!"
After saying this, the Flying Spirit Demon Lord led his subordinates onward, and the distance between them and the Demon Lord of the Great Blade and others grew larger!
Far enough to lure Wang Long out for a good fight!
He certainly knew that Wang Long was waiting for such an opportunity.
But then again.
Wasn't he also waiting for the same thing!
