"Haha, having you all around makes things more troublesome." Jiang Xue understood Wang Long's meaning. "This time, if it were just Princess Liling herself, unless a master of the level of the Four Great Sect Leaders personally intervened, she wouldn't be captured quietly. A significant reason is that there are too many people, making her a larger target. Moreover, the Army's involvement is too cumbersome and not flexible enough, especially since this is still the Giant Clan's territory. One misstep could lead us directly into their powerful tribe, making it even harder to manage both sides. So it's better for a small number of masters to act here for greater convenience."
Wang Long nodded and smiled. "That's exactly what I mean. I know you are worried about Princess Liling, but you must understand that your greatest contribution has already been made by being able to leave the Giant Clan's sphere of influence safely. When have I ever abandoned my own people? Rest assured, as long as these enemies do not harm Princess Liling, I will definitely bring her back safely!"
Wang Long's prestige in Dragon City was at its peak. Since he said so, others dared not say much and had great confidence in him.
"Additionally, Jiang Xue, this time you shouldn't come with me. It seems we have already attracted the attention of some mysterious enemies, and the Army is in a precarious situation; we need a calm commander to ensure their safe return. Let Shunshen accompany me this time."
Jiang Xue was clearly reluctant about Wang Long's order but knew he was right. She looked at him deeply and said, "Then you must be careful and coordinate more with Shunshen; don't try to be brave on your own."
"Haha, don't worry." Wang Long felt sweet inside and smiled as he patted her shoulder. "The burden on you is heavier than mine. It's not just your safety but also that of so many warriors."
Just as he was about to say a few more heartfelt words, a vigilant warrior returned from a distance. "Dragon Lord, a large group of Giant Clan has appeared behind us; now..."
"Alright, this isn't the time to waste; there's no need for you to regroup on your side either. Jiang Xue, I leave everything to you."
After watching Jiang Xue and the others leave, Song Shuping stepped forward. "Dragon Head, do you already have some clues? Otherwise, wandering around like headless flies won't help us find Princess Liling and could easily lead us into the enemy's trap."
Wang Long's expression turned cold as he surveyed the battlefield again. "I know who our opponents are now."
"Oh?" Song Shuping looked back at the rubble and bloodstains with a bitter smile. "I really can't believe how clueless I've been; why didn't I see anything?"
"That's because you were looking too directly at things. First, we can establish two premises for Princess Liling: First, these enemies' revealed strength cannot be too strong; otherwise, Li Ling wouldn't have been able to lead those elite warriors directly after us but would have taken a defensive stance until we resolved our battle before coming to support us. Second, the environment here is not suitable for ambushes; thus, they rely more on traps and some cunning tactics. This can also be seen from the current battlefield."
"Is it the Yin Ghost Clan?" Song Shuping was suddenly startled, not because he had seen something, but because following Wang Long's line of thought, the most likely answer was indeed the Yin Ghost Clan.
"Hehe, that's right. This is exactly the tactic that the Yin Ghost Clan loves to use, but we still can't be certain based on this alone. More importantly, the blood of the Demon Clan is different from theirs, and the Giant Clan wouldn't be able to launch a surprise attack here, which proves that the blood here belongs to our own people."
"So it must be the Yin Ghost Clan! Because they wouldn't bleed even when injured."
"Let's not be so sure just yet. Don't forget that at least we know there are also the Dragon Leap Clan and your divine clan."
"Are you kidding? How could our divine clan possibly attack you?"
"What's impossible about that? If it were members of the Game God Sect, would you still be so certain?" Wang Long said half-jokingly.
Song Shuping's expression changed, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes. "I would actually prefer if they were behind this incident; it would give me a chance to settle old scores!"
"But it still wouldn't be them. Although they do have some tactics and their approach to setting traps may not match that of the Yin Ghost Clan, they wouldn't be careless either. My final certainty is that there is still some lingering yin energy here. Although we can't feel it now, those souls in the Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs can sense it."
Song Shuping suddenly realized, "So you have such confidence that we can rescue Princess Liling with just the two of us? It seems you were well-prepared. Let's quickly sense where they went! We need to chase them immediately."
"The last traces of yin energy are over here. Shunshen, let's not use the Instant Flash Technique this time. If we happen to run into them while you're using it, and it raises their alertness, it could become troublesome."
"Alright then." Song Shuping felt as if he had been tricked by Wang Long. Had he known he needed to put in effort to search personally, he would have just asked to switch places with Jiang Xue; after all, he considered himself experienced enough to safely bring those people back to Alin Village.
Two figures suddenly vanished from their spot. When they reappeared, they had already left only a shadow far away.
Wang Long and his companion moved swiftly without needing the Instant Flash Technique. The other party was burdened with a number of corpses and captives—there were no bodies in the vicinity they searched, so even if they had killed someone, they could only carry their companions along. In terms of speed, it was impossible for them to surpass Wang Long and his companion.
Before long, they could faintly see the movements of the Yin Ghosts ahead.
Wang Long exchanged a glance with Shunshen, and this time they used the Instant Flash Technique without hesitation. Without Wang Long needing to explain further, Song Shuping understood that although these Yin Ghosts had been discovered, they were definitely not the main force that had defeated Princess Liling. Instead, they were employing their old tactics, sending a small squad of Yin Ghosts to stand guard while one side checked if anyone was truly pursuing them, and the other side had already set up traps, waiting for their prey to take the bait.
Previously, they had just used this method to trick the Giant Clan, and now it seemed someone wanted to turn it back on them. Fortunately, Wang Long had been rational enough to anticipate this move; otherwise, their large army would have been detected by the Yin Ghost Clan from a distance.
When Wang Long and Song Shuping reappeared, even without the presence of souls from the Eighteen Layers of Hell and Yellow Springs, they could clearly feel the heavy yin energy in this area, indicating that a large number of Yin Ghosts had recently passed through.
Song Shuping looked at Wang Long with admiration but was silenced by him as a wave of Spiritual Awareness entered his mind: "Don't speak."
Song Shuping understood. The Yin Ghost Clan excelled at ambushes, so their defenses in this regard must be very thorough. Their sudden appearance here should catch them off guard, but if they made too much noise, it could lead to trouble.
Thus, he only replied to Wang Long with a spirit message and began observing the surroundings.
