"The current tactics of the Demon Clan are very similar to those of Wang Long back then. They do not seek to annihilate a specific part of the enemy but instead create chaos among them, causing them to attack their own defenses while maintaining a swift and agile movement. At the same time, they form an advantage in certain areas to strike down the defending warriors, leading to even greater confusion. It is likely that Lord Zhan Tian initially mismanaged the situation and failed to take timely measures, resulting in the entire divine camp being engulfed in chaos! Alas! I, Old Cai, am powerless! Moreover, it seems that apart from Wang Long or the divine powers of the Four Great Sect Leaders, no one else can turn the tide."
Evil and Malicious was indifferent; the deaths of so many subordinates had nothing to do with him. However, Cai Burin felt genuine guilt. If he had known earlier, he would have dragged Wang Long to learn more about such tactics. Now he could only watch as their divine clan faced inevitable defeat, with skills that had nowhere to be utilized.
"Hmph! Cai Burin, stop talking nonsense!" Hearing Cai Burin shift the blame onto his command again made him furious. "Don't glorify your Wang Long so much. If he's so capable, I want to see him come here right now! Who can't boast? Besides, if we relied on your methods without distinguishing friend from foe and let those Demon Clan members charge at us, we would end up killing our own disciples!"
The True Navigator grew increasingly annoyed: "Alright! Let's stop discussing useless matters. What I want to know is who can make the Divine Army regain its combat effectiveness!"
At that moment, two Eerie Lights suddenly flashed across the horizon.
"That's a signal from Dragon City." Cai Xingren was taken aback but quickly reacted. "What signal are they sending us at this time?"
Evil and Malicious replied calmly, "You all hold on for now; I'll go take a look. That girl Ying Sang isn't someone who doesn't know the gravity of the situation. Since she sent a signal, there must be something unusual."
With that, Evil and Malicious vanished in an instant, already a hundred steps away.
"What a pity!" Seeing such a skilled individual leave in such a critical situation meant their strength had diminished again, sighed True Navigator.
"Hmph! I already said they didn't come here with good intentions to help us. I think he saw that after you returned, True Navigator, there was no opportunity left for him, so he hurriedly fled. Cai Burin, you don't need to pretend here; if you want to leave, now's your chance. If we really catch you with evidence of your collaboration with those Demon Clan members, you won't be able to escape!"
Cai Burin shouted angrily: "Get lost! Brothers of the divine clan, those unafraid of death follow me for a counter-offensive!" With that, he swung his large blade and charged directly toward the Demon Clan's formation.
Watching his retreating figure, Heavenly Slayer revealed a hint of disdainful laughter.
It was too easy to provoke him; it would be best if he died in there!
"Heavenly Slayer, what you said is truly excessive. You cannot casually accuse others without evidence! Heavenly Slayer, we have enough here to maintain the overall situation; you go help in the other three directions. Even if we are defeated, holding on longer is better."
Heavenly Slayer's eyes flashed with anger as he coldly replied: "Fine! Since Your Excellency trusts Cai Burin so much, Heavenly Slayer will take my leave first!"
After learning about True Navigator's injury, his attitude changed significantly.
The battle has become increasingly brutal.
Although the Demon Clan has only deployed a portion of their forces this time, they have maintained absolute initiative during the previous large-scale conflict. Now, under the cover of night, the Divine Clan is unable to organize their own warriors, resulting in chaos where soldiers do not recognize their commanders, rendering them powerless against the enemy.
The return of the True Navigator along with a group of Xuanmen experts—though only a small number—combined with the personal involvement of the Heavenly Slayer and the fierce charge of Cai Burin can only alter some minor aspects of the situation. However, they are unable to grasp the most critical elements.
Countless Divine Warriors continue to perish, and aside from the eastern and southern fronts, the western and northern lines have been without support for an extended period. The Divine Clan's main camp is on the brink of collapse, and the Demon Clan has begun to see hope for victory!
"True Navigator, it is now impossible to revive. You should leave," Cai Burin said after barely breaking through a large Demon Clan unit and taking a look at the surrounding situation.
"As one of the Four Great Sect Leaders, how can I flee at such a time? Besides, our numbers still hold an advantage. Even if we suffer heavy losses, we won't be completely annihilated. They won't be able to capture me either; you need not worry about my safety," Zhenhang misunderstood his intention and smiled at Cai Burin's earnest expression.
"Uh, you misunderstood, True Navigator. I'm not worried about your safety; it's precisely because you are one of the Four Great Sect Leaders that I want you to leave. Our struggle against the Demon Clan has only just begun. If one of our esteemed leaders is defeated by them in open combat, it would deal an immeasurable blow to our morale. It would be best if you were not here when we are overwhelmed; that way, at least we won't go down without a fight and give them any leverage."
"You really are quite direct," True Navigator said with a wry smile. "So you believe that this situation is already beyond saving?"
"Hmph, Sect Leader, don't listen to this guy's alarmist talk. I refuse to believe that we have so many people who can't defeat these evil beings! Besides, Cai Burin is someone who is about to be expelled from the Holy Divine Gate; I don't trust his words!"
"What do you mean by that?" Cai Burin could hardly tolerate any disparagement of his sect or talk about being expelled; his expression immediately changed as he glared at that person as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"What he means is that you've given up too quickly!"
"Who said that!" True Navigator sensed something was off before those words were spoken. However, since those individuals had not shown any hostility, he chose not to confront it.
"Yes, it's Jiang Xue! And Princess Liling," Cai Burin recognized them both at once.
"What are you two ladies doing here?" True Navigator realized immediately that they were not from the Divine Clan and should also belong to Zero Realm like that Evil and Malicious entity.
"They're both long-time companions of our leader... Oops, sorry! I accidentally let that slip," Cai Burin said awkwardly.
"Who is the woman of your leader!" Li Ling felt secretly pleased, but for now, she still had to put on a show.
Jiang Xue rolled her eyes and laughed, "Alright, this isn't the time to talk about that. Brother Cai Burin, this is..."
"One of the Four Great Sect Leaders, the Xuanmen Sect Leader, True Navigator."
"Oh? So that means you're in charge here now?"
"......"
Everyone present fell silent, all looking at Jiang Xue, who was struck by his words.
Does she even realize what being one of the Four Great Sect Leaders represents? How could she say it so casually?
"Uh, yes, it's true that I'm in charge here, but soon... sigh, I'm afraid it will have to be managed by them from the Demon Clan."
"Incompetent!"
"......"
This damn woman! Don't go too far!
Even with True Navigator's good temper, he was starting to feel angry inside.
"This battle can't be fought like this. Li Ling, signal them to come over. Cai Burin, you go over and make sure Evil and Malicious don't get into conflict with the divine warriors."
Cai Burin was startled; he had long known that Evil and Malicious could sometimes be even more unreasonable than himself. If those divine warriors truly mistook them for enemies of the Demon Clan and attacked, he wouldn't be able to control his temper!
Previously, they thought Cai Burin's temperament was already quite unlikable, but now they encountered someone even tougher—who was also a woman. Just thinking about how someone like Cai Burin was being commanded by this woman without daring to voice any dissent made several of them feel anxious.
“True Navigator, now please hand over your command to me. I will take charge; otherwise, you will be powerless to turn the tide of defeat.”
“You?”
“That's right, I can lead you to victory!”
Ignoring the cold mockery from the disciples and junior brothers behind her, True Navigator looked into Jiang Xue's eyes, which were bright and filled with strong confidence.
Those were truly the eyes of a young person, as if she believed there was nothing in the world she could not accomplish. Only with such eyes and such a person could real miracles be created.
True Navigator had long passed the age of being easily moved by emotions, but looking at this young girl now, he genuinely felt old.
“Alright.”
“Master!”
“Enough. Tonight, I will see what this young girl is capable of. You can issue all commands in my name!”
“Very well. It’s a waste to have so many experts gathered here. First, let’s send ten elder-level experts to Cai Burin to welcome our people. We are heading to the Central Command Tent now.”
