The sun was setting.
Jiang Xue glanced at the True Navigator beside her and said, "It seems we haven't waited for them again today."
The True Navigator did not respond immediately to Jiang Xue's question, silently gazing into the distance.
Not to mention how long it had been since Heaven's Binding and the experts from Holy Divine Gate had left. It had already been five days since they sent Elders Wuxuan and Zhong Xuan from Xuanmen to assess the situation at Evil Extermination Sect. Given their speed, this felt like too long, especially considering that before Wuxuan left, the True Navigator had repeatedly reminded them to prioritize returning with information, no matter what happened, and not to delay important matters due to getting caught up in battle.
"Jiang Xue, what do you think?"
Jiang Xue pondered for a moment before slowly replying, "The situation may not be as dire as we imagine. After all, Elder Wuxuan is one of the rare Ancient Giant God-level experts, and Elder Zhong Xuan is also quite powerful. Regardless of the enemies they encounter, they should at least have the means to protect themselves. Perhaps the situation at Evil Extermination Sect is more complicated than it appears, and they are hesitant to report just based on surface conditions, so they need to investigate further. Or maybe..."
"Jiang Xue, do you think these words need to be said by you?" The True Navigator smiled kindly but spoke very directly. "I specifically asked you here because I wanted to hear a more objective analysis and assessment, as this relates to our upcoming strategic actions."
Jiang Xue understood and smiled wryly. "Actually, what I said earlier wasn't just empty consolation. This possibility does exist. As for a more dire situation, I can only say that even if Elder Wuxuan hasn't been harmed, he must have suffered significant injuries, and the circumstances along the way may have been so dangerous that they dared not risk returning."
The True Navigator exhaled deeply. "I had considered this possibility as well; otherwise, I wouldn't have invited you here. However, I still can't understand who could force Wuxuan into such a predicament given his strength."
Jiang Xue's gaze sharpened. "You should prepare yourself mentally for this possibility. I believe that if it were a direct confrontation, even if the Brahma Demon King appeared, it wouldn't prevent Elder Wuxuan from having a chance to escape. Moreover, given the characters of both elders, they would certainly prioritize their safety and believe that Elder Zhong Xuan would be willing to make sacrifices if necessary. This means we cannot rule out the possibility that someone who would not raise their guard against them suddenly attacked or led them into a pre-set formation that trapped them both. It seems we cannot exclude the involvement of Evil Extermination Sect and Game God Sect."
The True Navigator felt a jolt in his heart and couldn't help but look at Jiang Xue.
This possibility was indeed something he had not considered before.
It is not that the intelligence of the True Navigator is inferior to that of Jiang Xue, but rather that they have fought side by side for tens of thousands of years as members of the Four Major Sects. He has never been willing to doubt his companions.
Regardless of how the Master of Victory competes for benefits, or how arrogant and warlike North Heaven may be, they have all lived for tens of thousands of years in the current divine realm.
"True Navigator..."
"Hehe, I'm fine, just a bit confused in my mind. If there really is a problem with the Game God Sect and Evil Extermination Sect, what should we do next?"
Jiang Xue lowered her eyebrows: "This matter should not be something True Navigator asks me about. There are many experienced seniors in Xuanmen; I believe they will have corresponding solutions."
"We're old now. It would be better to send more elders to investigate before making a decision based on the opinions of a few junior disciples. On one hand, I agree with their views; on the other hand, I always feel that this approach is inappropriate. Jiang Xue, given this bizarre situation, feel free to share your thoughts. Whether or not I adopt them, I will consult with the other junior disciples."
Jiang Xue smiled bitterly, thought for a moment, and finally shook her head: "It's not that Jiang Xue doesn't want to express her opinion, but under the current circumstances, my views would immediately spark great controversy if voiced. However, generally speaking, it is always correct to spread out scouts and simultaneously strengthen communication with the Heavenly Binding Sect Master."
True Navigator thought for a while and nodded: "It seems we have no choice but to proceed this way. Regardless, Jiang Xue, whenever you have new ideas, feel free to come find me."
After leaving the Main Tent and gazing at the distant horizon, Jiang Xue let out a long sigh.
Upon returning to their mountain peak and sharing the conversation with True Navigator with the elders, Li Xinghe asked in confusion: "Lady Jiang Xue, what were you thinking at that time? True Navigator has always trusted you greatly; is there something you cannot say directly?"
"Yes, we also don't think there is anything wrong with the current strategies being adopted by Xuanmen."
Jiang Xue glanced at everyone: "Do you all feel this way?"
Several elders exchanged glances, unsure of what Jiang Xue meant by her question.
"The reason you have such thoughts is purely a psychological illusion, believing that we have already secured victory in this battle. Moreover, both the Game God Sect and the Evil Extermination Sect belong to the divine race among the Four Major Sects, so it is impossible for a true life-and-death battle to erupt. If you remove this blind belief, only then can you break through this 'obstacle.' Think about why we came here in the first place."
The elders from Dragon City had yet to respond when Little Tiger and A Yuan, who were leaning over a giant map, suddenly exclaimed, "Got it! We understand now!"
"Oh? Go ahead and tell us."
The little girl slapped Little Tiger, who was eager to show off, back down and spoke first: "This time, the main forces from Xuanmen and Holy Divine Gate came here to demonstrate their strongest power to attack the Demon Clan while also intimidating the Game God Sect and Evil Extermination Sect to make them back off. However, given the current situation, we have already failed to achieve at least the second goal. Because we cannot choose between these two objectives, we find ourselves in a dilemma. If we send more forces to suppress the Evil Extermination Sect and Game God Sect, what if something happens with the leader at Demon’s Swamp? Conversely, if we head to Demon’s Swamp, what if something really happens with the Evil Extermination Sect and Game God Sect?"
"Exactly," Jiang Xue said with a smile and nodded.
During this time, due to their young age, A-Yun and Little Tiger's rapid improvement in strength still had its limits; it was impossible for them to grow into independent experts in a short period.
However, the two children were very diligent. Not only did they train hard according to Wang Long's plan, but they also studied the map during their free time. Additionally, because of their connections with Ying Sang and Wang Long, they were not excluded from Dragon City's military discussions, allowing them to gain significant exposure. Now it seemed that their efforts had indeed paid off; they had outperformed all the elders present.
