"Dragon Head, what are you doing here?"
Hearing a voice from behind, Wang Long turned around with a smile and said, "Why can't I be here? Besides, shouldn't Wuxuan Daoist be the one to take care of the injured disciples of Xuanmen?"
In this recent battle, although Xuanmen and Holy Divine Gate were evenly matched in strength, they could not compete with the Dragon City forces in terms of coordination in a small area. As a result, their casualties were significantly higher than those of Dragon City.
"Hehe, I have always been serious. The disciples of Xuanmen probably fear me more than they feel warm towards me. Right now, Tian Xuan and others are there to look after them, so I can feel a bit more at ease." Surprisingly, Wuxuan actually spoke so much to Wang Long this time.
Wang Long replied in astonishment, "There's no need to be overly cordial. As long as Wuxuan Daoist maintains this attitude towards your disciples, they will likely be pleasantly surprised. Uh, at least I didn't expect Wuxuan Daoist to have such a side."
Wuxuan sighed deeply and said, "It must be due to my state of mind. I had been feeling gloomy for a long time. It wasn't until I reached this peak and looked at the distant light of day that my worries suddenly vanished, which is why I have this state of mind now."
"Oh? So you came here to relieve your worries? Hehe, now that we have just achieved a great victory and everyone in the camp is filled with joy, I wonder where your worries come from?"
Wuxuan did not answer but instead gave Wang Long a meaningful glance: "Dragon Head is joking. If Dragon Head felt completely at ease, why would you come here alone at such a time?"
Both fell silent.
In their hearts, they both understood that the current victory of the Allied Forces might actually lay a huge hidden danger for the future.
Just before this, during the high-level military meeting, they decided to provide support to Evil Extermination Sect as quickly as possible while also guarding against a counterattack from the Demon Clan combined with the remnants of Game God Sect.
This was an uncontroversial decision; however, it became quite complicated during the military discussion.
The biggest opposition came from Holy Divine Gate!
Heaven's Binding insisted on immediately pursuing the remnants of Game God Sect due to their prolonged entrapment by Game God Sect and heavy casualties among their disciples. They particularly wanted to hunt down Victory Over Heaven himself. If they were allowed to reunite with the Demon Clan after regrouping, it would pose a significant threat to them!
Generally speaking, Heaven's Binding and others had just escaped and were not as well-informed about the current situation of the Allied Forces and enemies as Wang Long was; they were merely expressing their opinions. However, the reality was different.
With the return of Heavenly Binding Sect Master and even the re-emergence of Fire God and Water God, although they suffered greatly within Game God Sect, their current strength was absolutely superior to any force within the Allied Forces, giving them even greater influence over those smaller factions.
It is evident that their increased strength has made them less convinced of Wang Long's position as the commander.
Given their status, they would not openly express any intention to usurp his position, but their body language made their intentions unmistakably clear.
In their eyes, this was only natural, but Wang Long sensed a significant crisis from it. It now appeared that Xuanmen had also become aware of this.
"Leader, since Senior Brother Zhenhang established a strategy for your Dragon City faction to engage with us, although I did not think highly of you at that time, I must now admire your capabilities. While Heaven's Binding has extensive knowledge and high prestige, he lacks your imaginative ideas and has been blinded by the heavy losses he suffered this time. Furthermore..."
"Elder Wuxuan, there is no one else here; if you have something to say, please feel free to speak," Wang Long said, recognizing Wuxuan Daoist's concerns.
"Hehe, I'm getting old. What I mean is that the Heavenly Binding Sect Master is too domineering and rarely listens to others' opinions. Especially with Senior Brother Zhenhang absent, he probably sees our Xuanmen as merely a medium power!"
"That’s impossible." Wang Long was moved and continued along Wuxuan's line of thought. "Isn't there still you and Tian Xuan among the Ancient Giant God level experts in Xuanmen? Moreover, Xuanmen has an incredibly deep foundation. The Holy Divine Gate has recently suffered setbacks; if we were to compare strengths, they might not be able to defeat Xuanmen!"
"Of course!" Wuxuan's pride, especially regarding his sect, was fully ignited. "However, some Minor Sects' experts do not think this way!"
Wang Long nodded silently. Although he did not regard the strength of a few Minor Sects as significant, when hundreds or thousands of sects came together in the Allied Forces, it formed a force that could not be ignored! Unfortunately, among these people, Wang Long's influence was his shortcoming; even if he performed excellently in command, without overwhelming strength comparable to the Holy Divine Gate, he could never be on par with long-established factions like Xuanmen or Holy Divine Gate!
"It seems I must leave the Allied Forces for a while," Wang Long suddenly said.
Wuxuan was taken aback and then exclaimed in shock, "What? Are you so pessimistic about the future of the Allied Forces or have you faced some pressure from the Holy Divine Gate? Rest assured, we Xuanmen remain Dragon City's most steadfast ally!"
"Hehe, Elder Wuxuan, you misunderstand my meaning. Regardless of our current alliance, I will prioritize the overall interests of the Allied Forces. My departure from the Allied Forces this time is mainly due to considerations regarding our future strength comparison with the Demon Clan. Although we have defeated the main forces of the Game God Sect now, we cannot be overly optimistic about future situations."
"Oh?" With his worries swept away, Wuxuan became interested. "It seems you have a new target in mind; I just wonder who will be unfortunate this time."
"Elder Wuxuan, you overestimate me. Right now, I believe the critical point concerning our diminishing strength against the Demon Clan should be with the Giant Clan!"
"But haven't we already made some preparations there?"
“At that time, rescuing Heaven's Binding and others from the Game God Sect was the most urgent task. The Demon Clan, relying on the Game God Sect as an ally, probably wouldn't pay too much attention to the changes in the Giant Clan. However, now that the Game God Sect has been defeated by us, it can be said that they will not be able to become a reliable fighting force for a while. Therefore, Brahma Demon King will definitely not ignore the situation in the Giant Clan anymore. Otherwise, they would no longer have a guaranteed chance of victory.”
“So, Brahma Demon King will definitely send more forces to the territory of the Giant Clan?”
“Not only that,” Wang Long said with a hint of pride, “because the Game God Sect has just been defeated, even if Brahma Demon King realizes the importance of the Giant Clan's territory, he is currently unable to spare any resources. In this situation, it limits his ability to invest in the Giant Clan, which is perfect for us to disrupt their plans.”
“Good!” Hearing Wang Long's analysis, Wuxuan Daoist felt all doubts vanish and smiled, “You truly deserve your reputation, Wang Long. Now I finally understand why no one in the Power God realm can surpass you in command; your vision and calculations are far superior to those of us old-timers!”
Wang Long did not entirely agree; at least as far as he knew, there were still many extraordinary talents in the divine realm. Not to mention, during the last great battle, he had dealt with the Nine-Headed Demon Lord. Although in terms of strength he was far inferior to Wang Long, his learning ability was exceptionally strong. If we set aside the people from Dragon City, his command ability might even surpass that of the experienced Four Great Sect Leaders in certain aspects.
“However, Elder Wuxuan, although this rescue operation for Evil Extermination Sect won't encounter any strong resistance, we still need to guard against some unforeseen circumstances. The Heavenly Binding Sect Master is somewhat overly aggressive; he may not listen to my words. Elder Wuxuan, I’ll have to rely on you to look after things that others cannot see along the way.”
Wuxuan Daoist nodded and said, “Don't worry. After these few battles, I have gained some insights. Moreover, we have fought against the Demon Clan for tens of thousands of years before you arrived; we won’t be unable to resolve such a small matter.”
Wang Long nodded and said, “That's good. Wuxuan Daoist, then we shall part ways here. Please explain things to Holy Divine Sect and Evil Extermination Sect on my behalf. I also ask you to take care of Dragon City’s interests.”
After saying this, Wang Long summoned his Flying Sword and flew off into the distance.
