"New enemies?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Song Shuping, who understood the divine realm the best, chuckled, "Have you all forgotten? Their injuries do not appear to be caused by your world's techniques, nor by the Divine Clan, Demon Clan, or even the Giant Clan. However, in the divine realm, there are more than just these races. Besides the beasts, there is another one: the Yin Ghost Clan!"
"What!" This statement stirred up a storm. Upon hearing this name, everyone from Long City stood up abruptly, looking both shocked and gritting their teeth as if they were facing a life-and-death enemy.
Wang Long's expression turned serious as he asked, "Shunshen, how powerful is the Yin Ghost in your divine realm? And I want to know if there is a master named Dizang?"
"About that, I haven't heard of it," Song Shuping explained with some confusion. "After all, I haven't been on the front lines of the Divine Clan for many years, especially since the War of Gods and Demons. The Yin Ghost Clan has been the most low-key and mysterious. The Giant Clan and Demon Clan occasionally come back to trouble us, but since the last War of Gods and Demons, the Yin Ghost Clan has not appeared again. So I am not clear about who their masters are now. But Long Head, what happened? It seems you have some knowledge about this Yin Ghost Clan?"
Wang Long sighed deeply, "What Shunshen doesn't know is that during our battle with the projection of Heavenly Slayer, I had not yet crossed the Gateway to the Abyss. An elder within Long City was brutally killed by a master of the Yin Ghost Clan who claimed to be named Dizang!"
"What!" Those unfamiliar with this matter were also taken aback. "The elder in Long City was quite powerful, especially in this world; how could he be easily slaughtered?"
"That's why we have been extremely wary of the Yin Ghost Clan for such a long time. However, after hearing Abyssal Demon mention this matter before, we hadn't encountered any Yin Ghost Clan members, so we had pushed it aside."
"This indicates that before now, the low profile of the Yin Ghost Clan was merely a facade; they had already begun various schemes and even infiltrated Zero Realm ahead of time!" Song Shuping exhaled deeply and gained a general understanding of the actions of the Yin Ghost Clan.
"So what do their current actions indicate?" Man Qianyi asked angrily while looking at the corpses.
"It indicates that they have officially begun their operations, and their first target is us!" Wang Long coldly gazed into the distance where shadows loomed ominously; countless figures seemed to be moving as if numerous vengeful spirits were lurking there. "Now that the entire divine realm has once again entered into open warfare, it has given them a rare opportunity. Since that Dizang has already become our mortal enemy, it is unlikely that he would consider making peace with us later. Therefore, they will want to crush us thoroughly before we can grow stronger!"
"Long Head, let me go and eliminate them all to avenge Elder Liu Hongchuan!"
"Right now, we don't have any intelligence on the enemy, and even the scouts we sent far away were completely wiped out. If we recklessly launch an attack, do you want to end up like Elder Liu Hongchuan?" Wang Long mercilessly rejected his proposal.
"This time, let's pause the attack on the Giant Clan. The Army will remain here on high alert. Shunshen and I will go take a look at what kind of figures these Yin Ghost Clan members are."
Jiang Xue opposed, "But Leader, you are our leader now. We don't even know what the Yin Ghost Clan is planning. Wouldn't it be too risky for you to go out directly? It would be better to send other elder-level experts to scout the enemy's strengths and weaknesses before formulating a strategy for offense and defense."
"No need for that. If Shunshen and I go and are harmed by the Yin Ghost Clan, then sending other elders would certainly not change that outcome. Moreover, our strength is far beyond what it was in the current world; it won't be so easy for them to deal with us!"
After some discussion, everyone felt that the combination of Wang Long and Shunshen was sufficient to handle most unexpected situations, so they agreed to their risky venture.
"The Yin Ghost Clan is different from us; they are the souls of those who died in the divine realm. After meeting certain conditions, they abandon all their consciousness and memories and transform into what they are now. You can think of them as being in a state of souls, and when they transform into Yin Ghosts, their soul power is strong, but they start anew without consciousness or memory."
"If they are souls, then wouldn't they be unable to fight under sunlight? But last time on the beach outside Dragon City, that expert named Dizang killed our elder-level expert in broad daylight with just one move."
Song Shuping shook his head, "Yin spirits are different from true souls. After transformation, they can move about normally during the day. However, based on our experience fighting them, their strength is significantly affected during daylight hours. The extent of that impact varies from individual to individual. Wait a moment, Leader, look over there."
At this point, the two had entered an extremely narrow mountain path and suddenly discovered patches of blood.
"It seems this is where they were ambushed before. This is truly a desperate place to launch an attack! These Yin Ghost Clan members are quite clever."
"Perhaps it also indicates that they do not have absolute confidence in their own strength," Song Shuping added. "Members of the Yin Ghost Clan have incomplete souls, and since their memories and consciousness have been erased and reinserted, they carry various psychological flaws unlike ordinary people. For example, they tend to lament and uphold a kind of illusory state. They also possess a tendency to look down on others; if they were confident in completely overpowering those warriors who were previously harmed, I believe they would not choose such a location because they disdain using advantageous terrain."
"Uh? There are people like this?" Wang Long was completely dumbfounded.
Among all the enemies he had encountered, regardless of their strength, the goal in battle was always to achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost. Therefore, it was essential to make reasonable use of all available conditions. Not to mention that taking advantage of the terrain was a fundamental principle of military strategy. If someone else were in this situation, having the advantage of terrain but not knowing how to utilize it would make them look foolish in Wang Long's eyes—he even thought that the Yin Ghost Clan seemed to be a group with mental issues.
"Does that mean for them, combat is just about setting up their formation and then relying on their own strength for a direct assault? And if they disdain using the terrain, do they also look down on more cunning schemes and tricks? Do they completely disregard those as well?"
"Hehe, that's not quite right. Leader, you have some misunderstandings," Song Shuping explained with a smile. "The concept of strength is not only about the power of your Spiritual Essence or the quality of your treasures; it also involves your wisdom, momentum, and strength, among other factors. What we see as cunning schemes may seem less straightforward than utilizing the terrain, but from the perspective of the Yin Ghost Clan, it's quite the opposite. They believe that employing various schemes or even conspiracies represents a person's or a force's level of intelligence and wisdom. They not only do not view these tactics as underhanded but consider them a manifestation of a force's comprehensive strength. It’s also an attack on the unity, trust, and vigilance of their opponents. If you are sufficiently united and vigilant, then their tricks won't work against you; it can be seen as a form of 'direct' warfare."
"Uh, that's indeed a unique perspective. However, it sounds somewhat reasonable at first glance." Wang Long pointed at the bloodstains on the ground. "So their failure to clean up the blood here indicates that it's not just because of their arrogance or disdain for hiding; it could very well be a trap waiting for us to fall into."
Song Shuping laughed heartily: "Leader truly grasps things quickly; it seems this time, it might not be who gets tricked after all."
