"This matter is best left undiscussed!" Just as Wang Long was about to refuse, Cai Burin, who was also contemplating the pros and cons, suddenly spoke up, "I won't join your faction!"
"Why not?" Ying De Cai was slightly taken aback, not expecting Cai Burin to make such a decision.
"I don't understand the grand principles you're talking about, but I'm not an ungrateful person. To put it simply, the masters of the Holy Divine Gate took me in and taught me all these skills. Even if they have been deceived by those young ones now, I cannot betray my sect."
"But what we are doing is not detrimental to any sect; it's just that they have lost the ambition they once had to defeat the Demon Clan. We are merely trying to correct the chaos!" Ying De Cai was so agitated that he inadvertently used "we."
"Regardless, that's still betrayal," Cai Burin shook his head. "My thoughts are simpler. I understand your actions well enough; frankly speaking, it's refreshing! But I can't shake off this feeling that something is off. No matter how I think about it, I feel I can't agree with you. Besides, rather than overthinking those matters, it's better to just do my own part. When I meet Wang Long, on one hand, I want to seek his help—though it's a bit hard for me to lower my pride. But since you've already pointed that out, let's skip the heroic camaraderie; it's exhausting! On the other hand, I want to tell Brother Wang Long that when things settle down, we can have another great battle in the Great Gobi. For now, I'm still a Divine Trialist; this way, I'm keeping my duties and can also explain myself to the sect."
Upon hearing this, everyone was moved. Even Ying De Cai, who had been confident before, looked at Cai Burin with newfound respect.
Although this was certainly not the outcome they wanted.
"Since that's the case, I think I'll have to decline Your Excellency's kind offer," Wang Long said as he stretched lazily.
Ying De Cai's expression darkened further: "Lord Wang Long, what are you..."
Wang Long laughed heartily: "I must say I'm quite impressed by your intelligence network; I've only been in the divine realm for such a short time and you've managed to uncover my background so thoroughly—it truly surprises me. However, we should walk our own path."
"Hmph!" Wei Du snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied with both Wang Long's and Cai Burin's responses. However, his power was far inferior to theirs, so he could only let out a snort.
Ying De Cai smiled calmly: "In that case, we certainly cannot force you. However, the deal with Lord Wang Long remains valid. As long as a resolution is reached within the Yu Family and Your Excellency does not pursue further matters afterward, then Lord Wei will surely do his utmost for Alin Village and Fire Village in front of Lu Feng, the City Lord!"
Although the two parties appeared to part on polite terms, in essence, it could still be described as an unfriendly separation. However, after this incident, the only layer of hostility between Cai Burin and Wang Long was eliminated. Both of them held a deep appreciation for each other's strength.
Cai Burin was very concerned about improving his abilities. Although he had been defeated last time, it provided him with valuable experience. As for Wang Long, he had not lost even a piece of meat in their last encounter; instead, he gained a lot of insights into combat methods in the Divine Realm and the use of Primordial Power from his battle with Cai Burin. In fact, he felt grateful to Cai Burin.
“Brother Cai, about that powerful force you offended that Boss Ying mentioned—are you really okay?” Wang Long asked, partly out of concern for his new friend’s safety and partly to inquire about his views on the future. Although he had sensed some reluctance in Cai Burin's tone regarding his own Sect, if he could persuade him to go to Dragon City, it would undoubtedly be a significant boost to their strength.
“Don't worry; what I said earlier was not empty words. With the conditions in the Great Gobi and my familiarity with the terrain, if I truly want to hide, unless several Ancient Deities personally intervene, no one can do anything to me. Ha ha, do you really believe those Ancient Deities who haven't shown themselves for thousands of years would take action for someone as insignificant as me?”
Wang Long shook his head. “As long as you have confidence in yourself, that's enough. But didn’t you say your strength is quite ordinary in the Divine Realm? How come you're now an elder of the Four Major Sects? Are you pulling my leg?”
“Do you think being an elder in the Four Major Sects is something impressive?” Cai Burin lazily glanced at him. “Do you know why I didn’t agree to those generous terms offered by Ying De Cai?”
“That’s because someone like Brother Cai shouldn’t have to lower himself among a bunch of inexperienced youngsters. Moreover, I heard those people say their force consists of young elders and disciples from various Major Sects. There might even be your junior brothers or nephews among them. Heh heh, wouldn’t joining them make you their junior?”
“Ha ha, you understand me well.” Cai Burin shook his head. “Although I have a fiery temperament, I'm not foolish nor overly concerned with face-saving. Is face more important than life? The reason I rejected them so quickly without leaving any room for retreat is that I don’t think highly of them at all. I wasn’t lying when I told you before; even within our Divine Clan, my strength is just ordinary.”
“Although it seems that our strengths have made these local tyrants in Nanhua City respect us greatly, you might think that apart from the Four Major Sects, other major cities are similar. Ha ha, wrong—completely wrong.”
Wang Long showed a thoughtful expression; this time Cai Burin was revealing the essence of the strength differences within the Divine Clan. Only by understanding this could they truly know themselves and their enemies when they advance into the Divine Realm and engage in battles.
“For example, take Nanhua City: Lu Feng, the City Lord's strength is definitely not below ours and may even be higher. Moreover, you should know that Nanhua City falls under the influence of Xuanmen. To ensure that Nanhua City remains firmly under Xuanmen's control at critical moments, there is also an elite team of Xuanmen disciples nearby who can be deployed into Nanhua City at any time. Their individual strengths may not match ours, but combined with Xuanmen's unparalleled formations, their overall power cannot be underestimated. As a city lord, Lu Feng controls resources far beyond your imagination; her treasures significantly enhance her strength—so much so that during our decisive battle, she could suppress me to the point where I couldn't fight back. Not to mention Nanhua City's army and the composition of various factions within it, along with those disciples from different Sects who can appear at any moment.”
Wang Long nodded in agreement. Not to mention anything else; during his entry into Nanhua City with Yu Yaoran when they were ambushed in the Valley, many of their enemies—including Yu Yaoran's own power—were largely composed of disciples who had fallen from various Sects, including experts like Wu Han.
"And this is still just the surface!"
The shock that Cai Burin brought to Wang Long today was far from over.
