The divine realm is no longer what it used to be. Even though they have helped the divine race this time, it does not necessarily mean they will become an unbreakable ally of the divine race.
In such times, everyone hopes their allies become stronger and more mature. If this ally cannot grow into maturity, then Dragon City will naturally not hang its hopes on the divine race and will seek other methods, such as integrating with the more ambitious factions within the divine race that are dissatisfied with the current system, like Cai Burin and others who have gone through this process.
True Navigator couldn't help but frown: "Jiang Xue, this major defeat doesn't indicate any serious issues. After all, our divine race still has its foundation intact. If those Demon Clan members want to defeat us, well, they would need to win many more battles like this one."
At this moment, Li Ling walked up to True Navigator's side and said in a somewhat playful tone, "Daoist, don't be too quick to dismiss this. If what Sister Jiang Xue says is true, then she is helping your divine race avoid another major defeat. Or do you think the pride of the divine race is more important than the lives of your warriors?"
True Navigator's expression darkened as he shook his head: "Fine, you make a valid point. After experiencing such a significant defeat, what right do we have to be stubborn? Jiang Xue, I apologize for my earlier rudeness."
Jiang Xue returned a slight bow and softened her tone: "What I said earlier was perhaps too harsh, but it was for the sake of our camaraderie. In any case, rushing into battle against the Demon Clan now, especially with the risk of further losses, is extremely unwise. Right now, I believe the most important thing is your injuries, True Navigator. As long as you recover, whether it's crushing the Demon Clan's army or providing support to the other three sect leaders will be much easier."
This statement was unanimously supported by the divine race members, both for its inherent logic and for gaining favor in front of True Navigator.
However, it was clear that someone like Jiang Xue saying such things mattered even more to her elder self; it directly dispelled any lingering displeasure in True Navigator's heart. On another note, he had initially not regarded his injuries as too serious, but now Jiang Xue's words elevated their importance to a level related to victory or defeat in this battle.
Seeing everyone's gaze turn towards him, True Navigator slowly shook his head: "In a short time, I'm afraid it won't be possible. For someone at our level to engage in battle means either total victory or total defeat; otherwise, if we sustain even minor injuries, recovery won't be easy. However, I will focus on meditation and recovery; you can rest assured about that."
"Well then, that's the best outcome. Another concern is Your Excellency's safety; the Demon Clan should have already deduced from your several actions last night that you are severely injured. If they force out even stronger experts to take advantage of this opportunity to attack you, our current strength may not be enough to counter them."
True Navigator shook his head in denial: "This time they likely won't have the capacity to deal with an old man like me. Although I am one of the Four Major Sects, deep within their territory are three grandmasters and an extraordinarily important treasure. If Brahma Demon King were to personally act just to kill me, then before he could do so, the entire Demon Clan stronghold would likely have been taken down by Heaven's Binding and others first. Moreover, I am already aware of my own safety in advance. At such times, even if they truly mobilized a top expert like Brahma Demon King to kill me, it wouldn't be guaranteed that they could succeed."
Jiang Xue understood that with his extensive combat experience and confidence in his judgment, he must have sufficient assurance. Furthermore, among all in the divine realm, she was most familiar with Brahma Demon King's strength. "Since that's the case, there's nothing here that should worry me. Now I want to lead our Dragon City experts into the Demon Clan's territory; I wonder if True Navigator can assist with this?"
True Navigator was about to respond when suddenly a messenger rushed in from outside. Regardless of the type of military meeting taking place, as long as there was urgent military news, they were qualified to relay this information into the military tent without facing any disciplinary action.
"Report, report True Navigator, there are colorful lights in the sky over by the Demon Clan. It seems that the other three Master Zong have already made their move. From the distant reactions, it appears that the Brahma Demon King of the Demon Clan has not yet acted, and those Ancient Demon Lords are merely interfering from a distance with a few Master Zong, unable to stop their offensive, which is now retreating steadily! However, some strange large shadows have appeared in mid-air and entangled several Master Zong."
True Navigator exclaimed in surprise, "It looks like there are more than just one or two Ancient Beasts here. How did these beasts appear?"
Jiang Xue decisively replied, "At such a great distance, it might be difficult to answer these questions. Let's set off immediately. Once we meet up with the other three sect leaders, everything will become clear. We can then decide if an Army offensive is necessary."
"Alright, I appreciate your help this time, Jiang Xue. You must be careful while operating in the Demon Realm. Don't rush into confrontation; ha ha, look at me rambling on. With Jiang Xue's intelligence, you probably don't need my reminders."
Jiang Xue felt a surge of goodwill towards True Navigator, smiling as she said, "Not necessarily! I might get anxious and forget this cautionary advice, so thank you for reminding me."
Previously, Jiang Xue and her team had already conducted a military meeting, so several generals under Dragon City were already aware of who was leading and following.
Upon hearing Jiang Xue's last words, Cai Burin, Wang Yuanxian, and Man Qianyi all stood up. Meanwhile, Evil and Malicious remained within their Army.
This was also part of Jiang Xue's plan. Now that the crisis for the divine clan had been resolved, their cooperation with Dragon City had become somewhat disadvantaged. If there were any forces like Heavenly Slayer harboring ill intentions towards them, even True Navigator might not be able to manage everything perfectly. Keeping a highly unpredictable entity like Evil and Malicious within the Army would provide them with significant deterrence.
—If you have the ability, come and stir up trouble. The rational forces within the Army have all gone out on missions; now it's just a madman in charge. If you're not afraid of driving him insane, then go ahead and try.
"Alright, let's set off immediately!"
