The Dragon Leader's fury erupted, causing the Serpent Clan to flee in disarray.
However, he was also aware that the current forces of Dragon City could not truly contend with the Serpent Clan.
He had managed to severely injure the Serpent Clan Leader and two of their envoys with his own strength, but if the Serpent Clan remained stubborn and continued their siege, the final outcome would still be difficult to predict.
Thus, the so-called pursuit was merely for show, and soon they withdrew back to the city.
With the retreat of the Serpent Clan Leader, the other two fronts quickly ceased their attacks, gradually retreating while leaving behind a broken line. The soldiers guarding Dragon City began to relax and breathe a sigh of relief.
It could be said that this victory in battle, which successfully preserved the lives of one hundred thousand citizens of Dragon City, was almost entirely due to the efforts of the Dragon Leader alone.
When Wang Long and Jiang Xue returned to the Dragon Hidden base with Zhang Mingyi, they found that the Grand Elder was already waiting for them. All members of Dragon Hidden had gathered in the main hall.
"Very well, in this Dragon City Battle, you all exerted your utmost strength. The ultimate victory in this war was achieved thanks to your desperate efforts. I thank you on behalf of all the Elder Patriarchs of Dragon City, and I also thank you on behalf of all the citizens!" The Grand Elder spoke in his usual low and hoarse voice.
The crowd immediately responded, "It is only natural to protect Dragon City."
The Grand Elder nodded in satisfaction but suddenly sighed lightly: "Although the battle has ended and the Dragon Leader has ceased large-scale pursuits, if we simply let the Serpent Clan leave like this, it may lead to endless troubles..."
Zhang Mingyi nodded: "Indeed... Although the Serpent Clan Leader and several elder envoys were severely injured, the foundation of the Serpent Clan has not been significantly impacted; their depth remains intact. If we let them go like this, they might regroup in a few years and quickly rise again to launch a second wave of attacks."
The Grand Elder lamented: "Yes! However... while a large-scale pursuit may not be realistic, we of Dragon Hidden are born to operate in secrecy! Reconnaissance and assassination are our duties!"
"Therefore, I have decided to send all your teams to pursue the retreating enemy! Do not act recklessly or alarm many soldiers; focus on targeting their mid-level commanders and aim to destroy as much of their combat power as possible!"
A middle-aged elder nodded and said, "The Great Elder is right. This time the Serpent Clan launched a massive attack. Although the final thunderous strike from the Dragon Head severely injured their clan leader and envoy, we had already lost nearly twenty percent of our forces before that. It will be difficult to fully recover in a few years. If we cannot inflict sufficient damage on them, when they regain their strength, it will be the day Dragon City falls!"
The Great Elder said solemnly, "Alright, my orders have been given to the captains of each squad. You will rest tonight and set off immediately tomorrow! Eliminate any future threats without leaving a trace!"
Wang Long and Jiang Xue bid farewell to Zhang Mingyi and returned to their own Dragon Hidden residence.
Along the way, seeing Jiang Xue's pale face and heavy expression, Wang Long couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened? Your face has been looking so bad..."
Jiang Xue bit her lip, hesitated, shook her head, and remained silent.
Wang Long sighed lightly and couldn't help but ask, "Is it related to the clan leader of the Serpent Clan?"
Jiang Xue trembled slightly, glanced at Wang Long but still didn't want to speak, only stubbornly shaking her head.
Wang Long sighed, "Alright, since you don't want to talk right now, I won't force you... However, I want to tell you one thing: whenever you need help, just let me know. I will definitely be by your side at the first moment."
Jiang Xue lowered her head and softly said, "Thank you... I'm... I'm a bit tired and want to rest early. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
After saying that, she entered her room and did not come out again.
Wang Long helplessly smiled wryly and opened his door to go inside.
This battle was the first time he witnessed the cruelty of war; so many vibrant lives turned into severed limbs and blood in an instant. Even in just one front of the battle, it was said that four to five hundred soldiers guarding Dragon City had died.
He sighed deeply, feeling helpless.
"It's still more important to honestly improve my own strength... Besides that, sighing about things is of no use..." The scene of the battle against the Serpent Clan Leader resurfaced in his mind.
That towering figure, like a legendary deity, protected the entire Dragon City behind him. That was a qualified leader, someone who could provide a sense of security for the people.
But who knew how much he bore on his shoulders? Who knew that he might be in imminent danger, with little time left?
Such a heavy burden would soon fall upon him!
Wang Long lightly sighed as he opened the Nine Heavens Dragon Suppression Scroll. He had yet to devour the two Seventh-Rank Dragon Souls he subdued on the back mountain last time. Tonight, he could summon the Dragon Soul to further enhance his power.
With a light reprimand in his heart, he heard the displeased voice of the Dragon Soul.
"What now, you brat?!"
Wang Long replied solemnly, "I need power... I desperately need it, an unprecedented craving. I hope you can lend me a hand! Last time I subdued two Seventh-Rank Dragon Souls on the back mountain; I hope you can devour them and help me break through to the seventh Dragon Vein!"
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Soul suddenly smiled and said, "Oh really, two Seventh-Rank Dragon Souls? Fine... let me give it a try!"
With a thought, both man and dragon entered the Nine Heavens Dragon Suppression Scroll.
This was the seventh level of the Nine Heavens Dragon Suppression Scroll. With Wang Long having opened six Dragon Gates, entering this place required all his strength and was quite strenuous.
As soon as Wang Long entered, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if the entire world was against him, tightly binding him in place.
"Hmph, if it weren't for this, how could one easily suppress the ferocious beasts that have reached the Seventh Rank?" Dragon Soul snorted coldly, and Spirit transformed into the image of a middle-aged man.
"However..." He looked around and continued, "This place seems desolate as well. Did the First Generation Dragon Head not subdue many ferocious beasts in this realm back then?"
Wang Long replied, "Perhaps they all perished under such oppression! Never mind that, let me find the two Seventh-Rank Dragon Souls I captured that day."
Although the environment here was extremely harsh, Wang Long was still the current master of the Nine Heavens Dragon Suppression Scroll, so he felt no pressure while moving within it.
Based on his perception, he quickly determined the locations of the two Dragon Souls.
However, the once formidable and domineering Dragon Souls now curled up on the ground like two hibernating snakes, not daring to lift their heads.
"Hmph... this Nine Heavens Dragon Suppression Scroll is nothing good; it is clearly a cage that confines living beings," Dragon Soul said coldly upon seeing the two lethargic Dragon Souls.
"Alright, stop complaining... quickly devour these two Dragon Souls to open up the Dragon Vein for me! From their lifeless appearance, they seem close to death; I doubt I will need to fight again..."
