"Is it really Lord Wang Long!"
"Master! You're back!" Little Tiger was naturally the happiest among everyone.
"Hehe, what's with you all? Your reaction is quite unexpected; I thought you were hoping I wouldn't come back at all."
"Pfft! Now that you're back, how can you say such an unlucky thing! Lord Wang Long, was your mission successful this time? Will you stay in Nanhua City for a while before returning to the Northern Qian Mountain Range?"
"Don't worry, this time we have found Shunshen Song Shuping. Look, isn't there one more person here?"
Ying Sang and the others looked in the direction of Wang Long's hand and were taken aback.
The seemingly unremarkable person, who appeared to be just a nice guy, was actually the legendary Ancient Deity, Shunshen Song Shuping?
For Ying Sang and the others, being able to stand alongside a master of the caliber of the Elder of the Divine Race in Heavenly Capital, whom they could only look up to before, and even receiving various divine techniques from him was something they wouldn't have dared to dream of.
Who would have thought that not only those elder-level masters were present, but even an Ancient Deity appeared before them!
Ancient Deity!
Just by name alone, he could bring an earthquake to their village!
"Ahem, please don't look at me like that," Shunshen Song Shuping, who had slightly stepped forward to accept everyone's warm applause, suddenly realized he had become a monstrous existence. "An Ancient Deity is just an ordinary member of the divine race; I don't have more arms or noses than you."
Everyone laughed at Song Shuping's joke, and the distance between them had somewhat narrowed.
"It seems you folks from Heavenly Capital are still working hard. Little Tiger, A-Yun, how far have you progressed?"
A-Yun proudly replied, "Master, we've learned everything you taught us before you left. We still can't beat the guards in Nanhua City, but when we return to the village, those uncles with slightly lower strength won't be our match anymore!"
"Oh? That's quite an improvement," Wang Long nodded in response.
Although the warriors of the village were not impressive in Wang Long's eyes, for the young ones like A-Yun, they could not simply increase their strength through methods like absorbing dragon bones. Otherwise, not only would their foundation be unstable, affecting their future growth, but given their age and physical condition, they might not withstand such a powerful impact.
Wang Long would naturally not make such a mistake and turned his attention to Ying Sang and the others.
"We cannot afford to be complacent; everyone has shown significant progress," it was clear that Ying Sang was filled with excitement at that moment.
"Ying Sang, why are you being so modest?" another warrior quickly exposed her, saying, "Lord Wang Long, our progress is average; we are still not strong enough to compete with the captain-level experts in Nanhua City. However, Ying Sang just broke through her bottleneck a few days ago, and now she can hold her own against captain-level figures from Nanhua City!"
"Oh? That's truly something to congratulate you on," Wang Long said with a smile.
In fact, when he first entered, Wang Long had already sensed their strengths. He believed in knowing oneself and one’s enemy to ensure victory. If he couldn't even understand the strength of his subordinates, he might as well give up his position.
Song Shuping was initially unaware of everyone's previous strengths, but after a brief explanation from Wang Long, he was astonished.
Having seen many so-called geniuses over his years, Song Shuping had encountered quite a few. However, witnessing several warriors of average talent make such significant progress in such a short time was impressive. Even more surprising was Ying Die; he could hardly believe that during the selection process by various sects for disciples in their Alin Village, she had been overlooked!
Next, Wang Long personally tested everyone's formation progress, which left Song Shuping exclaiming in amazement.
Now the six of them could work together to contend with an elder for some time. Once their strength became more stable, even elders from major cities might not be their match!
News of Wang Long's return to Nanhua City spread quickly. Yu Yaoran immediately came to find him with a distressed expression. It was said that after learning about the news from the city gate guards, Lu Feng had summoned him for a scolding. He didn't even know that Wang Long had returned to the city and exclaimed, "I have too high expectations of you! With your lack of information, can you really handle the tasks I entrusted to you?" This frightened him into vowing to bring Wang Long to the lord's mansion as quickly as possible.
"The lord is doing this on purpose!" Wang Long saw through Lu Feng's intentions immediately. "She realized that my low-key return was meant to pick up Ying Sang and leave right away, so she spoke harshly to force me into the lord's mansion."
Of course, along the way, Yu Yaoran also understood this reasoning and looked at Wang Long pitifully: "Wang Long, our friendship doesn't need me to elaborate on it anymore, right? You must help me this time! If the Lord of the City gets angry and kicks me out of the elder team in Nanhua City, my father who just passed away might come back just to die of anger again! Brother Wang Long..."
"Alright! Don't make it sound so creepy! I'll go to the lord's mansion right now!"
Lu Feng wouldn't make things difficult for Wang Long. This time he brought him into the lord's mansion partly to reaffirm their unspoken agreement between their factions. They would not take any hostile actions against Wang Long's faction within the divine clan. However, once Wang Long's faction firmly established itself in the divine realm, regardless of whether there would be direct conflict with the divine clan or not, they must never target Nanhua City!
Wang Long readily agreed. After all, their current strength posed no real threat to Nanhua City, and given his camaraderie with Lu Feng and others on the battlefield, he wouldn't do anything ruthless.
Another thing made Wang Long completely understand why Lu Feng wanted him to meet her in this way.
"No way! Absolutely not!" Wang Long shook his head quickly after hearing Lu Feng's second proposal.
"Why not? Didn't you take her to the outskirts of Nanhua City for reconnaissance and sabotage before? You should know that was when the Demon Clan Army was approaching. I wasn't very clear about Lord Wang Long's strength back then, so I was quite worried. But this time, please rest assured, Lord Wang Long. I have absolute confidence in my abilities and adaptability. No matter what happens, Lord Wang Long will safely bring my sister back, right?"
"..." Wang Long looked at her with a black line on his forehead.
That's right; you don't need to worry now. It's me who should be worried!
In fact, compared to before, Lu Rou, the former Little Witch, had become more composed. The experience of fighting deep within the Demon Clan Army last time had given her a better understanding of the bigger picture, so she wouldn't disregard Wang Long's commands.
However, the problem was that this time Wang Long was going back to check on the Dragon City headquarters in the Divine Realm.
He wasn't worried that Lu Rou would leak his confidential information. But this time he was bringing a beautiful woman back with him—what would that lead to? What if Jiang Xue had some ideas? Moreover, there was also the ambiguous Princess Liling.
But such reasons seemed inconvenient to state openly to Lu Feng.
Other reasons were directly refuted by Lu Feng, who was equally eloquent. Coupled with Lu Rou's strong insistence, Wang Long had no choice but to take her along this time, no matter how reluctant he felt.
After such a delay, by the time Wang Long and the others left, it was already dusk. The setting sun cast a glow on their path, reigniting Wang Long's ambitions. Just wait; it wouldn't be long before Dragon City would shake the entire Divine Realm!
At that moment, Wang Long noticed Lu Rou looking gloomy and felt a surge of joy. He tentatively asked, "What's wrong? Miss Lu Er is feeling like she won't adapt to being away from home for a long time and misses her sister? We can still go back now."
"I'm not as weak as you think!" Lu Rou rolled her eyes at him and shattered Wang Long's "fantasy." "I'm not missing my sister; I'm actually worried about her. I don't know if something has happened to her."
"Oh?" Wang Long became curious at Lu Rou's words. "What could happen? Nanhua City just repelled a strong enemy. Although it suffered heavy losses due to internal traitors, its strength remains intact. Plus, with the friendships formed with Elder Zhongxuan and other Xuanmen experts, who could do anything to them now?"
Lu Rou shook her head, but her brows were still filled with concern. "I don't know either, but I can feel it. The reason my sister insisted on having me leave Nanhua City with you is at least partly because she encountered some major trouble that she couldn't handle!"
Wang Long was taken aback, half believing Lu Rou's words. There was no doubt about Lu Feng's strength; more importantly, her confidence and command abilities were among the best Wang Long had ever known. With her personality, how could she easily feel helpless in the face of difficulties?
"Then why did you obediently follow your sister's words this time? You were so happy before."
Lu Rou lifted her head and said, "This time I can't let my sister worry about me anymore. I know that for a long time, my sister has been most concerned about me. If I continue to stay in the city, it will only make her feel constrained and put her in a more difficult position."
Wang Long fell silent, and when he looked at Lu Rou again, his expression softened considerably.
It seemed that war truly was a place for growth; even someone as stubborn as Lu Rou had begun to think of others.
At the same time, it made Wang Long trust her clan a bit more.
Looking back at Nanhua City, the golden sunlight cast upon it took on a hue reminiscent of blood.
What exactly would happen in Nanhua City? What could possibly make Lu Feng uncertain and not reveal anything to him beforehand?
Wang Long's mood grew heavy.
"Everyone! Full speed ahead!"
