"How ruthless!" Song Shuping stomped his foot in anger. He had not expected that the Ghost King would still have the strength to save his own life in such a situation. Otherwise, if he had prepared a bit earlier, he might have had the chance to stop him. "He actually used his own subordinates to buy himself a chance to escape!"
"It's fine; this time, he was just lucky. Besides, weren't we actually hoping for him to escape?"
Song Shuping then revealed a smug smile. "Hehe, that's right. And regardless, this mountain path has been opened up by us. Unless they want to engage us in a decisive battle here, they won't dare to cause trouble again."
"Then let's take this opportunity to launch a major offensive against Fire Village. As long as they are a bit slow to react, we can make them suffer a big loss!"
Wang Long and Song Shuping's plan ultimately only succeeded halfway. Since the Ghost King had already escaped, he naturally wouldn't forget to share this news with the other Ghost Kings immediately. By the time the Army from Alin Village set out for Fire Village, the battle there had already calmed down.
However, Wang Long and Song Shuping were still relatively quick. In the end, they led their team to charge at the Yin Ghost Clan's last formation, recovering quite a bit of their losses.
Upon counting their gains, it turned out that Fire Village had indeed suffered heavy losses this time.
With the help of Wang Long, Jiang Xue, and the reputation of Dragon City, Fire Village had recruited quite a few genuine Sect disciples as their "external aid" elders. Yet even with these strong elites, they still suffered significant losses in this battle. Although the Defensive Array of Fire Village had been enhanced by them, nearly half of it was destroyed in this fight.
At this point, Wang Long and his team could only stay here to replenish and repair Fire Village; otherwise, if they were to come back again, Fire Village would not be able to hold on any longer.
As night fell slowly, the warriors who had either fought all day or traveled all day along the mountain path rushed into their tents and barracks to rest. Not to mention investigating the Yin Ghost Clan's situation; even keeping watch could only be entrusted to a few elder-level experts like Liu Yancheng.
The moon was dark and the wind was high.
Alin Village.
Knowing that Wang Long and his team had taken the Army to Fire Village, which significantly reduced their defensive power, Alin Village did not become too lax. The Defensive Array remained active, and they maintained a heightened state of vigilance until Wang Long returned the next day.
However, they still underestimated the illusionary techniques and infiltration abilities of the Yin Ghost Clan.
The two sentinels felt unusually lethargic today, waves of drowsiness washing over them, making even the two Old Warriors struggle to resist. They didn't even realize that both were simultaneously fighting off sleep, and soon lost their ability to resist in the face of such drowsiness.
What they were even less aware of was that in an inconspicuous corner, a hidden sentinel monitoring the same area had already fallen into a deep sleep.
An invisible mist slowly seeped into the camp. It was colorless and odorless, and did not trigger any Spiritual Energy Fluctuation, so it wasn't until an entire squad of patrolling soldiers collapsed simultaneously that another group of soldiers noticed something was wrong due to their unusual behavior!
"Be careful... uh!"
The captain at the forefront was about to shout a warning to the other soldiers when two shadows lunged at them, striking him with four hands and sending him flying. The rest of his warning was swallowed back down his throat.
"They have already discovered us! Scatter and attack, focusing on those organized fighters. Use fire to disrupt their camp."
"Understood!"
Upon hearing the command from the Ghost King, the elite members of the Yin Ghost Clan surged forward.
The flames quickly ignited. However, what they completely did not expect was...
It did not cause much chaos at all!
Barely anyone rushed out of the camp, and even when soldiers occasionally appeared in their line of sight, they never engaged in combat but instead headed towards the rear camp.
"Ha ha, so this is the little trick you're going to use?"
Their strange actions naturally did not escape the Demon King's keen eyes. With a wave of his hand, he sent out a signal, prompting the warriors who had already begun to scatter in pursuit to turn back.
"Demon King, shouldn't we seize such a good opportunity to chase? They're about to escape!"
"It's just a few small fish; there's no need to chase them! Let's go!"
The Demon King completely ignored their eagerness for battle, coldly tossing out a remark before turning away and soaring into the air, heading off into the distance.
The warriors of the Yin Ghost Clan had no choice but to follow suit and retreat into the distance.
What left them utterly astonished was that their change in direction instead provoked the warriors from Dragon City. Before long, they heard a thunderous roar of battle behind them, sounding incredibly fierce and not at all like an empty show of force!
It was only then that the warriors of the Yin Ghost Clan realized how astute the Demon King was. If he hadn't calculated things so precisely, they would have already rushed in and suffered a significant loss against Dragon City!
"However, just as they were thinking this, another squad of Yin Ghost Clan's army arrived from afar, and it was led by three Demon Kings in person!"
"Haha, I didn't expect Dragon City's forces to be so impatient and reveal their flaws. Now is our chance to counterattack!" Cold Blooded Demon King snorted.
"Shouldn't we double-check? I have a feeling that Wang Long isn't an easy opponent; could there be some other trick here?" Flowing Cloud Demon King hesitated suspiciously.
"Pah! I think you were scared out of your wits by Wang Long on that mountain path! A dignified Demon King of the Yin Ghost Clan defeated in just three moves, fleeing in disgrace while not a single warrior who charged with you was saved! What? If you're scared now, you can leave! After planning for so long, are we really going to give up now?"
"Uh, that's not what I meant. It's just... never mind, you all decide."
"Several Demon Kings, are we really going to turn around and confront Dragon City head-on right now?" The Ghost Generals listened in shock, and finally, one brave Ghost General stepped forward: "But didn't we already have a major battle with them before? We didn't gain much from it. If we fight them again, even if we manage to defeat them, we won't be able to occupy their camp, and we might lose too many warriors. It might not be worth it."
"What do you know!" Seeing a mere Ghost General daring to question their decision, the Demon Kings were furious.
"Hey, don't be so impulsive. Explaining things clearly to the warriors can give them more confidence and fighting spirit. You need to broaden your perspective. Today, the Flowing Cloud Demon King has confirmed that the Dragon City Army stationed at Alin Village can no longer sit still and is beginning to transfer forces en masse to Fire Village. Therefore, the strength left here is far less than during our previous battle with them. If we seize this opportunity, we can deliver a blow they will never forget!"
"Oh!"
Rather than saying the Demon Kings boosted their morale, it was more about hearing that Dragon City had already transferred most of its elite forces elsewhere that gave them the courage to face the battle. The brutal head-on clashes from years ago not only left other races with the impression that the Yin Ghost Clan was not good at direct combat but also firmly etched this impression in their own minds. Despite the passage of years, this perception had not changed.
At this moment, the Army of Dragon City indeed seemed a bit impulsive; they saw that these Yin Ghost Clan warriors were not entering their ambush zone and charged straight out.
As a result, they were immediately overwhelmed by the superior forces and began to retreat step by step.
The Four Great Demon Kings were even more powerful; ordinary elder-level experts were no match for them. Only top figures like the North Sea Dragon King could suppress them.
But how many experts like the North Sea Dragon King were left stationed in the camp?
Fires broke out everywhere else, leaving him unable to attend to everything.
"Heh heh, what's this? Trying to catch us off guard using Fire Village as bait? But we were prepared for this. This time, we've successfully drawn your main forces to Fire Village. Now let's see how you turn things around!"
A series of attacks fell down, and even the North Sea Dragon King was injured under their concentrated power.
"Five Elements Thunder!"
Boom!
At that moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky.
No!
It was more like a pillar of lightning!
And when that pillar of lightning struck mid-air, it suddenly exploded, and the powerful Spiritual Essence electric net turned an entire area of Yin Ghost Warriors into illusions. Not even a trace of their souls remained!
Like the might of a celestial being, it stunned several Ghost Kings.
At this time, several bolts of Spiritual Essence flashed before them. Wang Long, Jiang Xue, and other core experts from Dragon City coldly stared at them. Although they were few in number, each one was a master capable of battling against the Ghost Kings. The strength formed by their combined power made the nearby Yin Ghost Clan tremble in fear.
