"Actually, we really hope for an alliance between our two clans. We can deal with the Demon Clan and that so-called Human Emperor! What a great thing it would be."
"I know. And it's normal for you to have such thoughts. However, I hope that while you are eager to gain the recognition of the Divine Clan again, you can think a bit more. If I had truly exhausted all my efforts to persuade the other three sect leaders to successfully form an alliance, would they really see us as allies? Would the other members of the Divine Clan truly value us? No, they would only view this so-called alliance, which is based on unequal strength and their own lack of recognition, as a form of charity towards us. Moreover, in the future, they would inevitably treat our brothers from Dragon City as cannon fodder."
Cai Burin and Song Shuping nodded gravely. Although they were not very familiar with their own sect's disciples, they had been fighting within the Divine Clan for many years. They had a considerable understanding of the pride associated with being part of the Divine Clan. So when Wang Long spoke, they understood immediately.
"Don't worry, we will make sure that the people of the Divine Clan look at us with respect and that they have no choice but to take us seriously. We are not seeking allies; we are telling them that we stand on equal footing with them! We will show them how foolish their previous exclusion of you was!"
"Well said!" Wang Long's words immediately stirred Cai Burin's emotions. "This resonates with me! With my strength, if I were to return to the Holy Divine Gate just to be their errand boy, wouldn't they be delighted? But I refuse to swallow this humiliation. Only when they are willing to lower their heads and carry me back in a grand procession will we consider this matter!"
Song Shuping, though less animated than Cai Burin, was also touched by Wang Long's words: "Actually, not forming an alliance might be better. Just thinking about having to deal with Game God Sect and seeing Heavenly Slayer's unpleasant face without being able to punch him makes me feel frustrated!"
"Hahaha."
Princess Liling looked at Wang Long and the others laughing heartily and found it strange. Even she, who was usually exceptionally intelligent, couldn't understand what they were thinking: "It's really odd; they were 'chased' out with cold faces yet still find it amusing?"
"Hehe, you don't understand them," Jiang Xue said with a smile as she glanced over. From start to finish, even when those from the Divine Clan openly expressed their disdain for them, Jiang Xue never got angry. "Only men like them can accomplish truly earth-shattering deeds. Although the Divine Clan still holds an advantage in strength, in terms of spirit, they have already fallen behind."
Princess Liling pouted: "What do you mean? I think we women won't be any weaker than them. Sister Jiang Xue, in the future, our reputation and prestige should not lose out to the leader; we must not let him overshadow us."
"Good! I know Sister Li Ling is a heroine."
As Wang Long and his group chatted and laughed at the forefront, their earlier feelings of indignation were now ignited into a sense of boldness.
Indeed, what was so great about those from the Divine Clan? They certainly wouldn't be any better than them!
As the sun set in the west, a new day and a new world were about to begin.
In the dense forest, there was no wind or rain; all the branches and leaves drooped listlessly.
Suddenly, it seemed as if a gust of wind had swept through. A wild monkey perched on a tree curiously glanced around; clearly, it hadn't felt any wind passing by—what was going on?
However, it quickly lost interest in such trivial matters. Suddenly, a strong killing intent rose within the dense forest, far more terrifying than when it had witnessed two triangular beasts fighting.
"Chirp! Chirp!" The Wild Monkey continuously called out, urging its family to flee quickly.
In an instant, countless shadows on the branches darted away into the distance, while the killing intent in the forest grew denser. Moreover, sounds of intense Spiritual Essence interactions began to emerge.
"Catch him! He must not escape!"
Suddenly, numerous wind blades broke through the solid formation, and a shadow rushed out from within. Following closely behind were a dozen experts clad in Refined Armor.
In terms of strength, this shadow was indeed more skilled than those wearing Refined Armor, but against a combined force of over ten people, he was certainly at a disadvantage.
However, this person's tactics were extremely agile, and his attacks were unpredictable, making it difficult for the pursuers to grasp his movements.
Not only did they fail to catch up with the black-clad figure, but three of them were also injured instead. The remaining Refined Armor warriors could not swallow this humiliation and were determined not to let this expert who had discovered their whereabouts escape; they pursued even more urgently.
"All-Spirit Wood!" Seeing that the person at the front was calculating the distance between himself and the black-clad figure, he directly summoned his treasure. A black spiritual wood unfurled with countless twisting branches that ensnared towards the black-clad figure, forming an impenetrable wooden net.
Moreover, this All-Spirit Wood was incredibly resilient; it was impossible to break through even with those previous spirit blades.
Seeing their leader about to succeed, the warriors behind surged forward with even greater determination.
A cold smile flashed in the eyes of the black-clad figure as he suddenly leaped into the sky, completely ignoring the pursuing spiritual wood branches below.
Everyone thought he had no choice but to flee upwards. They set up their formation below, waiting for him to be forced down by the branch net so they could capture him directly. Suddenly, they noticed an astonishing Spiritual Energy Fluctuation rising around them!
"Not good! It's a trap!"
But by then, they realized it was too late. Fire dragons erupted from behind the bushes and surged towards them in midair, creating a sea of flames wherever they passed. Even that All-Spirit Wood treasure could not withstand such dense attacks and was destroyed immediately. The leading expert roared in anger as he summoned Water Element energy and attempted to charge forward to fight back.
However, at that moment, they discovered that they could hardly manipulate the surrounding Primordial Energy's Water Element or Spiritual Essence!
Although they had not been in the Divine Realm for long, they were already quite familiar with the Primordial Energy. However, it was the first time they encountered a situation where they could not fully harness it due to certain suppression.
The situation became irreparable due to their mistake!
Without the protection of the Water Elemental Power, the five warriors on the outskirts were directly attacked by the Fire Dragon, falling to the ground, unconscious and unaware of their fate. What chilled them further was that although the Fire Dragon had been consumed, several Ice Dragons charged in right after!
"The extremes of water and fire can actually be used to form a formation!" This was the last thought of the leading expert before being frozen.
Everyone was either frozen or knocked down and killed. At this moment, a figure in black lightly descended, and several others in black emerged around him, bowing respectfully: "Elder Ying Sang!"
The figure in black gently removed her mask, revealing an extremely beautiful face, with an added touch of maternal love that a girl would not possess: "Hmm, everyone hid well this time. Now, seal their Spiritual Essence and take them back!"
"Hehe, countless scouts from the Army have failed to achieve anything, yet we managed to get ahead. However, these Human Emperor's scouts are indeed difficult to deal with. If it weren't for Elder Ying Sang personally stepping in this time, we might not have lured them here."
Although Ying Sang had only joined them after they advanced into the Divine Realm, she had already gained considerable prestige within the Dragon City faction. Her initial position as an elder was due to connections with Nanhua City and Alin Village, but now she had earned her current status through her own strength.
Hearing her subordinates' flattery, Ying Sang smiled sweetly: "Alright, this is not the time for idle chatter. Let's move quickly; the Dragon Head is still waiting to gather intelligence about the Human Emperor from them."
