In fact, on the surface, Victory Over Heaven is definitely not a person that one would hate. Unlike the grim and cold Heavenly Slayer, Victory Over Heaven's appearance is gentle and refined, certainly not inferior to Shunshen Song Shuping. He looks like a respectable elder.
However, the issue today is certainly not going to be resolved just by looking at his seemingly kind exterior. Having let the Demon Clan's Army escape and allowing them to incur such losses, if it weren't for the fact that he is also one of the Four Great Lords of the Divine Clan, he might have already been tied up by now.
"Master of Victory, I remember you were guarding outside the stone formation earlier. Now that the illusion of the stone formation has been broken, why have you vanished?" Heaven's Binding expressed his dissatisfaction openly. "If it weren't for the elders outside fighting to the death and for Jiang Xue and her companions bringing reinforcements, we would have suffered a huge loss against Brahma Demon King!"
"Hehe, please forgive me, both sect leaders. There was a reason for my departure just now."
"I would like to hear what could be more urgent than our battle with the Demon Clan!" North Heaven's emotions were even more agitated. He was already the most combative among the Four Great Sect Leaders. Moreover, since both Evil Extermination Sect and Game God Sect are located in Northern Qian Mountain Range, although they could cooperate somewhat against external enemies during normal times, there were often conflicts of interest beneath the surface. Given North Heaven's mindset that "my Evil Extermination Sect is at the forefront against the Demon Clan and Giant Clan... as long as it's for my Evil Extermination Sect's benefit, it's for the good of the Divine Clan," it was no wonder he couldn't be polite to Victory Over Heaven.
"If a Third Realm expert appeared nearby, what would it matter?" Victory Over Heaven had already prepared for their attitudes and replied calmly.
"What? Third Realm!" The crowd was shocked.
During the previous surprise attacks by the Demon Clan on various cities of the Divine Clan, the sudden emergence of Third Realm experts dealt another fatal blow to those cities that had already suffered immense damage! If it weren't for the urgent responses from various city lords of the Divine Clan, cities like Nanhua City, Yushu City, and Feather City would have completely fallen into their hands, allowing them to establish a foothold in the divine realm!
So hearing news of Third Realm experts appearing in an already complicated situation inevitably startled them.
"Indeed, it was a Third Realm expert. At that time, you two had already entered into the illusion cave of the stone formation while a Third Realm expert likely thought it sufficient to deal with just one sect leader like me and launched a surprise attack from the side. I had no time to warn you and could only go fend them off myself. This matter can be corroborated by my disciples who were patrolling with me in the west."
"Yes, our Master Zong indeed saw a Third Realm Upper-Level Expert appear and chased after him. Our strength was insufficient, so we couldn't catch up; it's truly embarrassing."
"What happened afterward? Did you achieve any results against the Third Realm expert?"
"Sigh, at that time I did intend to kill or even capture a few of them on the spot. However, I didn't expect these Third Realm experts to be quite formidable and cunning; they immediately recognized my identity. As soon as I began to act, they scattered in all directions. I targeted one who seemed to be the strongest and highest in status but fell into their ambush instead. If it weren't for my decent strength, I would have almost been caught there. In the end, they broke through to Void and returned to Third Realm before I could achieve anything."
Several high-ranking members of the Divine Clan, including Wang Long, couldn't help but scoff internally. After all this time, there were only a few Game God Sect disciples as witnesses; they were your own subordinates—would they dare contradict what their sect leader said?
It sounded better than singing.
"In summary, Master of Victory has no evidence whatsoever to prove that he indeed went after a Third Realm expert?" North Heaven's expression had turned somewhat unfriendly.
"Hehe, Brother North Heaven, what evidence do you have to prove that I'm lying?" Victory Over Heaven asked nonchalantly.
A single sentence left everyone speechless.
The recent activities of those experts in the Third Realm have been evident to all. Although several Ancient Colossal Deities did not take direct action, they still had a grasp on their movements.
Moreover, they have long been enemies of the divine race. The two sides are like oil and water, unable to coexist. If one were to directly confront Victory Over Heaven about this now, not to mention that there is no evidence to prove that he deliberately abandoned his comrades and put them in jeopardy, even if one were to question him, would it mean that in the future, whenever there are no witnesses, I cannot intervene with the people of the Third Realm? Should they be allowed to plot their schemes in the shadows?
“Ahem, everyone, after all, we have achieved a great victory this time. Although the process was quite tortuous and the casualties were not small, we have thwarted the Demon Clan's conspiracy, which serves as a significant deterrent to other races. There is no need for us to create so much discomfort among ourselves at the end.”
“Exactly, exactly. For now, let’s return to the main camp to avoid any sudden attacks from the Demon Clan.”
Under such circumstances, the Demon Clan certainly did not dare to launch another surprise attack. This was merely their way of smoothing things over.
However, North Heaven knew that it was best to go along with the situation for now; it was not wise to confront Victory Over Heaven directly at this moment, yet they could not help but feel angry inside.
“Alright, I believe that Master of Victory, as the leader of the Four Major Sects, would not do anything harmful to our divine race. Now that the Golden Radiance Treasure has been lost, let’s return and see what our next course of action should be.”
Wang Long glanced thoughtfully at Victory Over Heaven and then at Song Shuping.
It was clear that when Victory Over Heaven appeared, Song Shuping's anger transformed this usually gentle person into someone filled with rage. However, he still maintained his composure, knowing that he was no match for him—whether in strength or status.
This relieved Wang Long greatly.
Of course, if Song Shuping truly wanted to tear his face with Victory Over Heaven at all costs at this moment, Wang Long would definitely stand by his side. However, the consequences that would arise from such an action were certainly not what Wang Long and the others wished to see—especially after this great battle; Wang Long and others had gained a deeper understanding of the divine race's profound foundation.
Now was not a suitable time for a direct confrontation with them!
Regardless of what thoughts those present held, at least on the surface they had returned to a state of camaraderie.
As they walked towards the divine race's main camp, Wang Long asked Jiang Xue about the ambush on that night.
“Jiang Xue, earlier you all mentioned that True Navigator was attacked and seriously injured. What exactly happened? Please tell me about it.”
“I’m not too clear on the specifics either; after all, we encountered each other in the divine race's main camp that night when True Navigator was already injured. I heard he was ambushed by an Ancient Beast and got hurt; I don’t know much about the battle situation.”
"Wang Long" furrowed his brows and said curiously, "That can't be right. The 'True Navigator' returned to the divine camp yesterday, and at that time, the four 'Ancient Beasts' were already gathered near the mountain where the 'Golden Radiance Treasure' is located, ready to follow the orders of the ' Brahma Demon King' to ambush several divine sect leaders. How could another 'Ancient Beast' suddenly appear and encounter the 'True Navigator'?"
"What's so strange about that?" "Jiang Xue," who was unaware of what had happened in the cave, chuckled and said, "Since the golden light phenomenon from the 'Golden Radiance Treasure' can attract those distant 'Death Abyss' and 'Giant Ape,' who says it can only attract four? Can't other 'Ancient Beasts' come nearby to compete for it? So it's not too surprising that one blocked the 'True Navigator' on his way."
"Of course, it's strange here. These 'Ancient Beasts' weren't really attracted by the 'Golden Radiance Treasure'; they were all captured and tamed by the ' Brahma Demon King' long ago before appearing here! You see, when the 'Phoenix Play Golden Pearl' was born, although it was accompanied by its own golden light, did it cause a response from heaven and earth? No, right? So there must be a reason for this fifth beast's appearance here; we just don't know what it is yet. I even suspect that its sudden appearance on the path of the 'True Navigator' and engaging in a deadly battle with him isn't an accident."
Beside them, "Song Shuping" felt a chill run down his back and said, "Hold on, can we stop? The more you say, the more sinister it sounds! The 'True Navigator' is no ordinary person; how many people in this world would dare to target him?"
"Hehe, isn't your brother 'Shunshen' also targeting the 'Victory Over Heaven' and 'Heavenly Slayer'? Since there's one 'Shunshen,' who says there can't be two or three?"
"I have a grudge against them, and they won't let me go either. Otherwise, why would I go against them?"
"Hehe, then that's settled! You're forced into conflict with them, but do you think that behind-the-scenes figure who can even command 'Ancient Beasts' would be afraid of going against them? The rest depends on whether there's enough hatred or profit involved."
"Song Shuping" swallowed hard; this time it wasn't just cold sweat on his back—his face began to turn pale. "Dragon Head, do you know what you're saying? Didn't I hear from 'Jiang Xue' that it was a temporary decision by several sect leaders for the 'True Navigator' to return? By your logic, wouldn't that mean at least an 'Ancient Colossal Deity'-level figure is trying to secretly harm the 'True Navigator'? At least they wouldn't let him return so easily?"
"Wang Long" also realized how serious this speculation could be. If there truly was an insider among such high-ranking members of the divine clan, they wouldn't dare to genuinely ally with them for fear that their own forces would be exploited by these insiders in the future!
