"I should be the one who never expected this. When I first arrived here, I foolishly thought I could rescue my senior. Looking back now, it's truly laughable!"
As Wang Long walked past the area where the Third Realm expert was located, he had already made up his mind. His heart calmed instantly, and he stood before the Abyssal Demon with a composed expression.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" The Abyssal Demon scrutinized Wang Long, and the look in his eyes suggested that he had indeed considered whether to eliminate him directly.
"Why would I be afraid of you?" Wang Long extended his right hand, pointing at the nearly lifeless White-Haired Elder. "Although Your Excellency killed him in one move, you took advantage of his carelessness towards Demon Brother. He probably never imagined that you had such a strong counterattack capability. Even without moving, you could still pose a lethal threat to him. If he had fled with all his might from the start, unless Demon Brother truly escaped, how could he have been killed so easily in just one move?"
"Very calm," the Abyssal Demon nodded inwardly upon hearing Wang Long's analysis. "To grasp such complex relationships in such a short time, I indeed did not misjudge you. And what about the second point?"
Wang Long smiled easily. "Because Demon Brother does not wish for my death. Although I only have a partial understanding of the current situation in the Divine Realm, I sense from Demon Brother's words and actions that you are optimistic about our entry into the Divine Realm."
"Pah! Nonsense! Your forces entering the Divine Realm will likely lead to your annihilation. Why should I care about you? I knew you were a madman before; it seems I underestimated you even more now."
"Perhaps my words are not mere madness?" Wang Long pointed at the bindings on him. "I never imagined Your Excellency's strength had reached such a level, and it seems you possess other things capable of impacting the Divine Clan. Clearly bound here yet not eliminated, and both the Third Realm and the Holy Divine Gate once sought to recruit Demon Brother. May I boldly speculate that your continued presence in this desolate place indicates either those people do not merit your attention or that you harbor some ambition yourself?"
The Abyssal Demon was taken aback and suddenly raised his head to stare intently at Wang Long. If looks could turn into sword energy, Wang Long would likely have been pierced through the heart by now. "I don't quite understand what you're saying. Even if you guessed correctly, that's my own business. Having an enemy like you around would only obstruct my path in the future. If that's the case, why should I let you live?"
"Because you need variables. If this situation continues, then this binding may never be removed in your lifetime. Just now, although Your Excellency killed that Third Realm expert in one move, it also indirectly proved how powerful the formation binding you is—greater than your own strength. Therefore, you need a variable!"
"A variable?"
"A variable! The issue is that countless years have passed; slaughter rages within the Divine Realm, yet this Great Gobi is far too desolate—there's only Alin Village here. How could such a place possibly attract the attention of true experts from the Divine Realm? So you must have realized that relying solely on internal conflicts within the Divine Realm is insufficient to break these formations and chains. What hasn't happened in ten thousand years cannot be guaranteed to occur in the next decade, century, or millennium; and you are far too eager to escape—even unwilling to wait even two years!"
"Because! The Demon Brother seems to have unusual feelings for that girl An'er!"
"You, how could you!" The Abyssal Demon thought he had concealed his emotions well enough, and Wang Long had only seen An'er once. Most of the time, An'er simply sat quietly across from them, watching them drink. Who would have thought that Wang Long's keen observation would catch even this small detail? "That An'er appears to be just an ordinary member of the divine race. Although I am not clear about their average lifespan, I know that being trapped here means you cannot teach her complex cultivation techniques to maintain her youth and wait for opportunities with you!"
"Therefore, even if the Demon Brother lacks confidence in us, at this moment, unwilling to bow down to the enemy, it seems he can only see if he can gain something from us in this great change." Wang Long felt more confident as he saw his biggest bet paying off; it was a subtle psychological shift. The secret regarding An'er would not make the Abyssal Demon consider silencing him; instead, it would evoke a sense of self-pity—one from the Demon Clan and one from the divine race; how could they possibly be together?
Or rather, once An'er learns of his true identity, even this sympathy might completely shatter.
The Abyssal Demon fell silent, and at that moment, the Third Realm White-Haired Elder, who had been howling incessantly, was now dead beyond recovery. The entire desolate Valley fell into a terrifying silence, while Wang Long remained as steady as a mountain.
"So, will you disappoint me?"
"I don't know!" Anticipating the Abyssal Demon's question, Wang Long answered without hesitation.
"Hmm?" The Abyssal Demon looked displeased, clearly unsatisfied with this answer.
"Whether we can enter the divine realm in a short time is not up to us; it depends on the strength comparison between us and the various factions of the divine race, as well as our understanding of the divine realm." Wang Long quickly began to lay out the facts and reasoned with him, showcasing his eloquence at its best.
"Otherwise, if we enter the divine realm too early, not only will we be unable to help you, Demon Brother, but we will also raise others' suspicions and be suppressed. Moreover, as you can see, this is the Great Gobi. What will our people eat and drink when they enter the divine realm? How will they develop?"
Wang Long understood this very clearly; the Great Gobi was desolate and easy to hide in—a great place for cultivation—after all, the Primordial Energy here was no less abundant than anywhere else—allowing them to significantly enhance their strength without realizing it.
"So, Demon Brother, we need your help!"
At this moment, Wang Long's expression looked like that of a unscrupulous merchant.
"Well, since you were able to pass the trial of the Divine Clan, perhaps it is worth my investment. Although An'er is not here right now, I will do my best to answer your questions."
