Jiang Xue had ample power in her hands, but completely blocking them was beyond her capability. Seeing the Demon Clan's Army beginning to retreat and the Brahma Demon King personally stationed there, she immediately led her subordinates to clear a path.
However, there was no such courtesy from the front. The Divine Coalition, having held back their anger for so long, finally had an opportunity to vent all their previous defeats. Almost nothing could stop their revenge!
Especially since the last major defeat had led to the fall of the True Navigator, and even more so because it was due to a shameful betrayal!
Although in Wang Long's eyes, this was a perfectly normal tactic, the fact that the Demon Clan could manipulate the Game God Sect into betrayal was simply because they had that capability. To put it bluntly, how solid was the alliance between the Demon Clan, Yin Ghost Clan, and Giant Clan back then? Why didn’t your divine race manage to sow discord among them?
If that had been possible, where would we be now with the Second Demon-God War? It would have long since become a unified situation for the divine race.
However, their anger over that betrayal had now completely transformed into their fighting spirit, which was enough for Wang Long.
The entire Demon Clan Army lost any capacity for thought, turning from retreat to rout.
Of course, seeing the situation deteriorate, Brahma Demon King wisely placed those mid-level demons who were expendable at the back as cannon fodder, while the true elite were not too severely injured. However, this battle dealt a blow to their morale that could not be easily described.
As one great battle ended, watching the Divine Coalition begin to cheer and celebrate, even those elders who had been following him with a "learning" attitude were now filled with various forms of arrogance. They seemed to think that this victory was theirs.
"What are you all standing around for!" Wang Long shouted angrily. His voice resonated with Spiritual Essence, exploding like thunder in every Divine Warrior's ear, causing all their pride to vanish! "Gather immediately and prepare to march!"
"March?" The previously self-satisfied elders jumped out again. "But Leader, now that the Demon Clan is starting to collapse, our front line can pursue them again for even greater victories!"
Wang Long coldly replied, "What does that have to do with our plan? The ones left behind are all mid-level demons; even if we crush them all, it will have limited impact on the Demon Clan. We cannot let these inconsequential victories affect our grand plan to rescue Heaven's Binding Sect Master!"
Mentioning the rescue of Heaven's Binding Sect Master immediately calmed them down. The Xuanmen were already very obedient to Wang Long's orders, and those from Holy Divine Gate certainly prioritized rescuing Heaven's Binding Sect Master above all else.
"But just letting them go like this seems too wasteful?" Some in the rear guard felt reluctant after witnessing such a rare "great victory" right after joining the battle. Although they knew that the Demon Clan hadn’t suffered any fundamental damage, they couldn’t help but feel they hadn’t had their fill yet.
"In this battle, our strength is absolutely inferior to the Allied Forces of the Demon Clan and the Game God Sect. Therefore, our only chance lies in striking quickly while they are momentarily stunned, using the time difference to swiftly counterattack and break through the heavy defenses of the Game God Sect to rescue the Heavenly Binding Sect Master and others!
Wang Long's explanation made it clear to the elders what the key issue was, and they no longer coveted minor achievements. Instead, they quickly gathered their disciples and boldly adopted the fastest marching formation, almost completely abandoning any defense against ambushes!
Now he was going to gamble on how well the newly formed alliance could coordinate.
Previously, Wang Long had already given a heads-up, so the Divine Coalition dared not delay. They gathered at lightning speed and vanished without a trace before the Demon Clan could react.
"What? They've all disappeared?" The Demon Lord in charge of defending the front camp was dumbfounded when he heard his subordinate's report. "Really?"
After receiving a confirmed response, the Demon Lord still found it hard to believe and rushed with his subordinates to a nearby high point.
It was eerily calm.
Anyone unaware might think this place was some kind of paradise. Not only were there no signs of the Allied Forces of the divine race, but even their scouts were nowhere to be found.
"Could this... be a feigned retreat? Are they waiting for us to let our guard down before launching a surprise attack?" a High-Ranking Demon questioned, his rusty mind turning.
"This situation shouldn't occur," replied another High-Ranking Demon responsible for reconnaissance, casting a disdainful glance at him. "Our scouts have not only failed to find any traces of them in this area but also did not detect them on the previous battlefield. It seems they have vanished into thin air! Even if they had some traps, how could they possibly reach here before we reacted?"
"That's true!" Not wanting his subordinate to waste more time with useless chatter, the Demon Lord made a decisive judgment. "The reason the Divine Coalition dared to launch a direct attack earlier was likely to see if Lord Brahma Demon King had truly returned. Now that it has been confirmed, even if there were some minor victories earlier, they wouldn't dare go too deep! Ha ha, I said it before; after suffering such a significant defeat last time, how could they still have the guts?"
"Hehe, that's also because Lord Demon Lord is wise and prepared early on. Surely that Wang Long knows he can't break through our defenses; that's why he cleverly chose not to charge directly. This time they are being sensible! So, should we quickly report this good news to Lord Brahma Demon King?"
"Not so fast!" The Demon Lord frowned and waved his hand, adopting a serious expression. "Although they haven't attacked for now, what if we report it and then discover enemy movements? Such rashness would make us seem unreliable! Moreover..."
"Please instruct us, Lord Demon Lord."
"Cough, cough, and if they from the Divine Coalition actively gave up the pursuit, wouldn't that make it seem like we got such a bargain for nothing? Let's wait a couple more days, let those higher-ups know about the hardships we frontline warriors have faced, and then report that after a bloody battle, we finally defeated the forces of the divine race. Do you understand?"
Although these demons were absolutely loyal to the Brahma Demon King, beneath that loyalty, there was a slight desire to embellish their own contributions. It seemed that the higher-ups would not mind too much.
They could never have imagined that what they were suppressing was such an important piece of information!
Just two days later, Wang Long stood beneath an unnamed peak in the Northern Qian Mountain Range, overlooking the outpost of the Game God Sect.
It would not be surprising if he appeared here alone, but at this moment, there were already at least three thousand elite members of the divine race lurking behind him.
Even if someone from the Game God Sect could discover Wang Long, underestimating the power around him would surely lead to a significant loss if they attempted a sneak attack!
"Right now, although the Game God Sect can still maintain a vigilant posture, our full-scale advance into Demon’s Swamp has relaxed them somewhat. Especially in recent days, they must think that we are completely entangled with the Demon Clan and cannot launch an external attack against them."
"No, you all might be underestimating the Game God Sect. This place is not as loose as it appears; they are using a strategy of being loose on the outside but tight on the inside. The goal is to make us think they are unguarded and easy to attack."
"Is that so? Could it be that they have already discovered our plan?" The elder responsible for scouting here was taken aback.
"It should not be," Jiang Xue analyzed. "Our speed definitely exceeds their reaction time. Moreover, if they really guessed that our main force returned, then setting up these little tricks would not be very effective. It would be better for them to tighten their defenses and leave us no openings."
"Oh? Then how do you see it, Jiang Xue?"
"They must have detected our scouts first. They know that although our army went to Demon’s Swamp this time, we have not given up on the Game God Sect. So here they are creating a false impression. However, now that they no longer have help from the Demon Clan, I don't believe they could have redeployed everything perfectly in such a short time! Bring me a map of this mountainous area!"
What was most advantageous for Wang Long was that due to the terrain limitations of the Northern Qian Mountain Range, the strategic key points of the Game God Sect were located in flat areas rather than being surrounded by mountains like in the Southern Plains.
Although Wang Long had not anticipated that they would take precautions beforehand before this operation, it was just an unexpected event. They could bypass this area and launch an attack from the demon side, which would catch them off guard. Moreover, based on the characteristics of the Northern Qian Mountain Range, Wang Long's group had selected a route with only minimal mountainous obstacles leading to consecutive large cities for a full-scale assault!
Now that they have become allies with the Demon Clan, and considering that the Demon Clan is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Divine Coalition, they never expected any issues to arise from this direction.
Therefore, when Wang Long and his group began their advance from the chosen direction, they encountered almost no significant resistance.
By the time the Game God Sect realized what was happening, they discovered that the Divine Coalition had already penetrated deep into their territory, leaving only one layer of Spirit's Edge Mountain between them and Elder Tian Shu, who was trapped!
That location was also where the Game God Sect's main headquarters was situated.
After receiving reports from his subordinates, even the seasoned Victory Over Heaven found himself at a loss for words.
"They are already outside Spirit's Edge Mountain!" Victory Over Heaven's tone carried an overwhelming chill, causing the Divine Warrior who had just reported to him to shudder, fearing that he might provoke the sect leader and become a target for his wrath.
While others may be weak, they could not withstand a single strike from the sect leader.
"Yes, we don't know how they managed such a rapid assault; none of the major cities along the way raised any alarms. We only discovered them when they reached outside Spirit's Edge Mountain."
Victory Over Heaven's expression grew even more serious.
Although he did not know what had transpired in Demon’s Swamp, he understood that for the Divine Coalition to achieve this, it was undoubtedly a result of meticulous planning. In other words, their initial target had been him all along!
No scheme or conspiracy could be more troubling than one where you are the primary target.
In fact, compared to this situation, having three major cities under his control breached overnight seemed less alarming.
"What is the situation inside? It has been so long; why are Heaven's Binding and their group still alive in this world?"
Heavenly Slayer had been most afraid these past few days of Master of Victory asking him when they would be able to defeat Heaven's Binding and the others.
"This, the strength of Heaven's Binding is indeed formidable, and this time it also holds most of the experts from the Holy Divine Gate. This... will still take quite some time."
Victory Over Heaven surprisingly did not urge anything further this time. In fact, he understood what Heavenly Slayer was saying all too well; who could understand the strength of Heaven's Binding better than him?
In the past, he was always worried about the retaliation from the divine clan and the involvement of the Fire God and Water God. Now that the situation had come to a head, worrying further seemed pointless. It was better to think about what Wang Long and the others would do to break through to their side.
"Today we need to immediately investigate their situation! If the entire Divine Coalition returns this time, not to mention our forces being scattered, even if we gathered the entire Game God Sect, we might not be able to match them."
As soon as these words were spoken, the elders of the Game God Sect, who had not considered this point, changed their expressions drastically. They realized that they were not in their stronghold with powerful defensive formations! Although the treacherous terrain was a significant advantage for them, it still could not help them repel the Allied Forces of the divine clan!
"I don't think they can bring the entire Divine Coalition here. Not to mention that just a few days ago they were engaged in a decisive battle with the Demon Clan. The rapid advance that broke through three major cities cannot be achieved in this way; they can only advance with elite forces. Therefore, I believe there are only about five thousand enemies in front of us."
However, Heavenly Slayer's judgment did little to alleviate their tension. Even if their numbers were fewer, it still included elite experts from Xuanmen!
Even if their numbers were small, they had directly broken through three major cities!
Could their current strength hold up against that?
