"Don't panic! Everyone, stay alert and signal the camp that there is a situation in this direction!" Unlike the ordinary soldiers who were tense, Hu Fan managed to keep his composure, although doubts began to arise in his mind.
This doesn't seem right.
Where did these people come from? What are they doing here?
If they were nearby deities who came out of curiosity because they saw an Army stationed here, no one would believe that. They were clearly approaching without any caution; at the very least, they didn't seem to have good intentions.
However, if they were here to attack their camp, that also seemed off. These people appeared disorganized; unless they had a peerless expert like the Four Great Sect Leaders hidden among them, what pressure could they possibly exert on their camp? Even if such an expert was present, they had True Navigators on their side along with numerous Ancient Giant Gods whose strength was just below that of True Navigators. Without some special means, their attempt to attack the camp would be laughable.
Rather than attacking, it seemed more like... they were fleeing?
With this thought in mind, Hu Fan scrutinized them more closely. The fluctuations of their Spiritual Energy felt quite familiar; they were indeed deities and definitely not from the Demon Clan.
"Do not initiate an attack yet. You few, follow me to assess the situation," Hu Fan said before taking off with his sword.
The soldiers under him exchanged worried glances. However, no matter how much they looked at each other, there was nothing they could do. This was wartime; even though their Xuanmen was usually the most lenient and free-spirited during peacetime, there could be no leniency at this moment!
"Stop right there!" Hu Fan shouted coldly as he hovered in mid-air. "This is the camp of Xuanmen and Holy Divine Gate. If you come any closer, do not blame us for being ruthless!"
"Brothers of Xuanmen! Brothers of Holy Divine Gate! Do not attack; we are from the Wanderer Sect! Help us!"
In such a situation, the name of the Wanderer Sect would not ease their tension; instead, it might make them more vigilant. However, the last plea for help left them stunned.
"What’s going on?" Seeing two elders rush forward, Hu Fan decided to ask them directly instead of questioning others: "What is happening in the Northern Qian Mountain Range? Since you are from the Game God Sect, how did things end up like this? Where is your Master Zong?"
"It's bad! The Evil Extermination Sect has allied with the Demon Clan! Our Master of Victory was ambushed by Brahma Demon King while fighting that old bastard from North Heaven and is now missing. Moreover, within our Game God Sect, traitors bribed by the Evil Extermination Sect have emerged! These few should be brothers from Xuanmen, right? Our Master of the Wanderer Sect is unaccounted for, our internal structure is collapsing, and even our stronghold has been taken by the enemy. Countless experts from the Demon Clan are pursuing us; we beg you for a way out!"
Hearing such serious news left Hu Fan stunned as well; his earlier calmness vanished in an instant.
"I... I can't make that decision! We need to report this situation to the True Navigation Sect Master quickly."
"Alright, I'll go with you. The True Navigator has always been known for his benevolence among our deities; I believe he will not turn a blind eye."
At that moment, dark smoke suddenly rose in the distance, indicating that countless armies were approaching. Behind the fleeing soldiers of the Game God Sect, a chorus of wails and cries echoed.
"Senior Brother! The situation is urgent. Please allow our disciples from the Game God Sect to enter the defenses of the main camp for refuge; otherwise, they will all die!" Seeing this scene, the elder from the Game God Sect who had come to report pleaded desperately.
"This..." Hu Fan began to hesitate. He certainly could not take responsibility for such an order, but given the current situation, it would take considerable time just to notify Master True Navigation or even to let the two brothers stationed here make a decision. By then, who knows how many from the Game God Sect would perish? Moreover, the army of the Demon Clan was still far from their main camp. If they let them in now, it would be fine, but if they delayed too long and those experts from the Demon Clan closed in, it would be impossible to let them in later.
Back when they were at the Northern Qian Mountain Range, they had suffered a great defeat due to being overly lenient with the fleeing soldiers ahead. They would not make that mistake again.
"Alright, open the gates quickly! You two stay here and maintain order among your disciples; do not let them destroy our defenses! Otherwise, we won't be able to withstand the Demon Clan either!"
"Of course, of course. Rest assured, brothers from Xuanmen; we will keep them in check."
Hu Fan noticed that ever since the army of the Demon Clan appeared, the disciples of the Game God Sect had begun to panic and attempted to break through their defenses. In a situation where he could not truly harm them, it was impossible not to let them in.
With a sigh, Hu Fan sent a junior brother to inform the two stationed brothers and then flew toward the Central Command Tent of the main camp.
At this moment, True Navigator and Jiang Xue were discussing matters in the Central Command Tent. Intelligence from Xuanmen indicated that forces from Dragon City were on the move again; however, Jiang Xue remained at her post on Zhen Shan. Thus, True Navigator called her over to discuss their next steps.
Just then, they noticed chaos beginning to erupt outside the main camp. They had just dispatched two elders to investigate when Hu Fan flew in on his sword.
"Hu Fan, junior brother! That area is your defensive zone, right? What on earth happened? Why is it in such disarray? Is it possible that the Demon Clan has attacked?"
"Sort of... but not exactly," Hu Fan sighed deeply. "The people from Game God Sect have arrived; however, they are being pursued by the Demon Clan. I saw that the situation was urgent, so I allowed them to enter for refuge while instructing other junior brothers there to remain vigilant and defend against any advance by the army of the Demon Clan."
"What! You have already let them in?" Jiang Xue exclaimed in shock.
"Indeed," Hu Fan said uneasily as he glanced at Jiang Xue. No matter how obedient she was to True Navigator, she was not one of Xuanmen; why should she speak to him like this as an elder of Xuanmen? "In that situation, we had no choice. Besides, even if we let them in, what of it? After learning from our previous lesson, we will not allow these fleeing soldiers to affect our defenses again. If the Demon Clan thinks they can take advantage of this tactic again, they are only asking for trouble."
True Navigator understood this point and smiled as he explained to Jiang Xue: "Since our last great battle, both Xuanmen and Holy Divine Gate have strengthened this particular weakness accordingly. Moreover, special measures have been taken during this deployment regarding this issue; thus, you need not worry too much."
"What I'm worried about is not this at all!" Jiang Xue could no longer care about her status at this moment; she pointed angrily in that direction and shouted: "Right now we haven't received any news from Heavenly Binding Sect Master; we know nothing about Game God Sect's situation. Who can guarantee that they are still our allies?"
"What!" Jiang Xue's words stunned everyone present, including the True Navigator. "Jiang Xue, what do you mean by that? Even if the Game God Sect has gone too far with the Evil Extermination Sect, how could they possibly harm us as well? Besides, they are helping the Demon Clan! How could they not distinguish between such important matters!"
"Who says they are confused about this? Who can guarantee that the Game God Sect isn't collaborating with the Demon Clan behind the scenes? They might have already formed an alliance!"
In an instant, the entire camp fell silent, and it seemed even the wind had been stilled by the pressure in the air.
"This... how is that possible!"
"I'm not saying this will definitely happen, but given all the anomalies occurring in the Northern Qian Mountain Range, we must consider every possibility! We can't afford to waste any more time here. True Navigation Sect Master, let's head over there immediately to assess the situation."
"Indeed, Junior brother Tian Xuan, gather our main forces and move towards that direction right away. As Jiang Xue said, we cannot afford to be careless; we must prepare for any unexpected events!"
When they hurried to the outer defensive line of the camp, the scene they least wanted to see had indeed occurred.
At this moment, the disciples of the Game God Sect had already entered the camp, and it seemed that the Demon Clan was truly attempting to "repeat their old tricks." This time, however, the Divine Coalition struck back fiercely.
Just when it seemed that the Demon Clan had suffered a heavy blow and their "plot" was coming to an end, their real killing move emerged!
