Several people turned their attention towards Jiang Xue, who had a certain understanding of the situation that night and had also spoken directly with True Navigator.
"I think we cannot be certain about this matter yet. Because we cannot prove that the appearance of that Ancient Beast was specifically aimed at True Navigator. For instance, if this beast was acting under the orders of Brahma Demon King, that is also a possibility. After all, no one knows the specific timing of the attack that night better than the Demon Clan. As long as the attack did indeed happen that night, the Four Great Sect Leaders would definitely send some reinforcements to respond, and whoever they sent would inevitably be attacked by that Ancient Beast. So the situation may not be as serious as you think."
"Well, that's a relief," Song Shuping sighed in relief.
Although it seemed that many from the divine clan and their Dragon City had come this time, most were top-tier experts, so they returned to the divine camp in no time.
"Gentlemen, was this operation safe?" True Navigator, who had already received news, was waiting at the entrance of the camp. Seeing them land together, he clasped his hands and smiled, "Now that you have successfully united as one force, I believe Brahma Demon King ’s schemes will not succeed."
"Sigh, no need to say more," except for Victory Over Heaven, both North Heaven and Heaven's Binding looked somewhat dejected. "Although we managed to avoid being completely trapped by Brahma Demon King's schemes this time, the Golden Radiance Treasure was still taken by someone else. What is there to be happy about?"
"Oh?" True Navigator was shocked, and his smile vanished instantly. "So in the end, did that Golden Radiance Treasure still fall into Brahma Demon King's hands?"
"Not exactly. But we later found out that Brahma Demon King had already located the Golden Radiance Treasure; he just didn't take it directly to lure us into a trap. Fortunately, due to Wang Long's intervention and internal strife within the Demon Clan, he ultimately failed and lost it to a mysterious person who acted last!"
"This..." True Navigator did not expect there were so many variables involved. "Well, no matter what, it's good that we didn't let the Demon Clan take away the Extraordinary Treasure. Let's discuss the specifics after we return to the camp."
Upon entering the camp, even though a day had passed for sorting things out, the situation from the day of the attack was still vivid in their minds. Seeing such losses made even the experts of the divine clan look grim, including Victory Over Heaven.
"How could this happen? Even if True Navigator was injured and unable to exert full strength, our forces left behind in the camp shouldn't have been breached so deeply within a day!"
This time it was a major counterattack against the Demon Clan; however, not all of the divine clan's forces were mobilized. For example, around Nanhua City remained as calm as ever without any fluctuations. The main forces mobilized came from various sects within Northern River Mountain Range. The primary ones were naturally Evil Extermination Sect and Game God Sect. Facing such losses made North Heaven feel immense pain.
"Hmph, this question should be directed to our commanding general left behind at the main camp," upon hearing North Heaven's inquiry, True Navigator naturally would not speak well of Heavenly Slayer, directly pushing him to the forefront. "In fact, what you all see now is already a stroke of luck. If it weren't for this young friend Jiang Xue arriving in time with the Army from Dragon City, we might have been completely wiped out that night!"
"Oh?" Victory Over Heaven's cold gaze fell upon Heavenly Slayer.
In fact, it wasn't just him; for those who were still unaware of the situation at the divine camp, having suffered such significant losses, Heavenly Slayer had to take responsibility. Even among the disciples and elders of their own Game God Sect, there were many grievances against him.
"Master, it's all my fault as a junior!" In front of Victory Over Heaven, Heavenly Slayer dared not offer any excuses for himself and honestly stepped forward to admit his mistake. "It was my arrogance in thinking our strength was sufficient that led to this. I didn't expect the Demon Clan to be so cunning and successfully launch a surprise attack. Please punish me, Master!"
On the surface, Heavenly Slayer seemed to fully accept the blame without shifting responsibility, but individuals like Wang Long quickly picked up on the underlying issues in his words.
To put it bluntly, this time he was the commander of the Divine Coalition, and the losses incurred were not solely from their Game God Sect. It should rightfully be judged collectively by everyone involved.
However, in his words, it became a confession to his own master. This effectively meant that only Master of Victory could impose punishment on him, which would certainly be much lighter—no matter how sternly he scolded or how severe the punishment appeared on the surface, it would ultimately be executed by their own Game God Sect.
There was no need for Victory Over Heaven to even speak; would those elders and disciples within the Game God Sect dare to truly punish their second-in-command?
"Wait!" It wasn't just Wang Long who caught onto this nuance; not everyone would sit idly by like him. North Heaven stepped forward with a sneer. "So according to you, Heavenly Slayer, as long as your Game God Sect punishes you, that will suffice? Then I must ask where my Evil Extermination Sect's casualties should seek justice. Master of Victory, I trust you wouldn't intentionally cover for your own elder?"
Heavenly Slayer's expression changed. Although his status couldn't compare to a sect leader like North Heaven, he was still one of the renowned Ancient Colossal Deities. To be forced into such a corner without any leeway was quite humiliating!
Good! You are ruthless! Just remember not to fall into my hands in the future!
Thinking this, before Victory Over Heaven could express his stance, Heavenly Slayer took the initiative to say: "North Town Sect Master, there's no need to be so aggressive. What I said earlier was merely a slip of the tongue upon seeing my Master. My Game God Sect does not cover for its own disciples, and I, Heavenly Slayer, do not intend to evade responsibility through this. I am willing to accept everyone's judgment; whatever punishment is deemed appropriate for me, I will accept!"
"Cut it out!" The words spoken made everyone in Dragon City nearly vomit.
Well, a defeated general should accept punishment as expected. Trying to find a loophole and failing, yet still managing to speak so nobly as if he was "forced" to accept a punishment that shouldn't belong to him in the first place, was quite ridiculous.
This person's thick skin was indeed enough to match the Defensive Array of the camp; at that time, even if the Demon Clan doubled their fighting strength, they would never succeed in a surprise attack again.
However, among the divine beings, hearing that the Heavenly Capital had already reached this point, they truly could not say anything more. If they did, it would seem like they were trying to go against them to the bitter end.
Neither the ordinary elders nor the high-ranking elders of various Sects had the determination or courage for that. The Three Great Lords could not personally intervene either. Doing so would be no different from directly provoking a confrontation between the two Major Sects.
"Alright, with that matter settled, I have another proposal to share with everyone. Wang Long, Jiang Xue, please." The True Navigator knew that there was no way to deal with the Heavenly Slayer regarding this issue, so he shifted directly to another topic: "You may not know this, but that night Jiang Xue truly impressed me. Their command ability and the combat effectiveness of the Dragon City Army were remarkable. If it weren't for their sudden appearance, especially Jiang Xue's extraordinary command, the losses we suffered would have been far greater than what you all see now. Therefore, just based on this, I propose that our divine race form a powerful alliance with Dragon City!"
