Some things are not that this guy isn't trying hard; it's just that he's dealing with a group of people who, despite being treated well, still act like they're superior. He has no way to handle it.
"How leisurely you all are!" Wang Long sneered at them, already determined in his heart not to give them a good expression.
"Uh, Wang Long, what do you mean by that?" The leader of the group, presumably that War Scythe Ming fellow, noticed Wang Long's unfriendly tone and his expression darkened. "Aren't you all about etiquette? We of the Giant Clan have treated you so politely, yet you respond with sarcasm!"
"Am I wrong?" Wang Long was waiting for an opportunity to provoke them. "We just rushed over from Sky Pillar. The people of the Giant Clan who were once loyal to the Giant Spirit God have already been driven out by Amohan! They are living in miserable conditions. Moreover, the Giant Spirit God has suffered for so long, and instead of seeking revenge, you are here leisurely fighting for power. Which of my words is incorrect?"
With Wang Long ruthlessly exposing them like this, how could these clan leaders endure it? Each one glared at him with faces as dark as thunder, wishing they could swallow him whole.
"This is too much! Who do you think you are? We respect you and call you 'Dragon Head,' but without that respect, you're just an outsider! A little brat who doesn't know how many pounds of rice he has eaten dares to act tough in front of us? This is ultimately our Giant Clan's business; it has nothing to do with you!"
"Exactly!" The other clan leaders echoed in agreement.
Hearing the "voice of the crowd," War Scythe Ming showed a smug expression. "Ha ha, did you hear that? This is everyone's opinion. It's not me who is driving you away. We will never forget your previous help to the Giant Clan, but now you've overstepped your bounds. We no longer welcome you! Please leave immediately!"
Wu Tiande felt a surge of anxiety in his heart. He couldn't figure out what was going on here at all.
If Wang Long's words were a bit direct and harsh, that might be true. But how could they respond so absolutely? It meant they wanted to sever their alliance with the divine clan! And there was no room for negotiation.
On the surface, it seemed that Wang Long had indeed gone too far, provoking their anger.
Yet Wu Tiande always felt that they had been waiting for this excuse for a long time.
Wang Long coldly laughed in his heart: "It seems you've misunderstood something."
"Oh? What else do you want to say? Even if you apologize and admit your mistakes right now, we will not forgive you!"
"I'm not talking nonsense, listen carefully! First, this is the base we established initially, and it has only recently become your main camp. So if anyone should leave, it should be you!"
"You! You are being too unreasonable!"
Giant Clan couldn't even come up with any new insults.
"Second!" Wang Long ignored them completely and continued, "Even without you, we would still take care of the Giant Clan matters. We are here not at your invitation, but at the invitation of the Dragon Barbarian Chieftain. If you find us displeasing, then let’s see who can conquer Sky Pillar and avenge the Giant Spirit God!"
Wang Long's words shocked Wu Tiande, and even Dragon Man was left speechless.
Boss, have you really gone too far this time?
Not to mention that they haven't fully integrated their power against Alan Clan, even if their strength is indeed greater than that of the former Alan Clan, they cannot compare to Amokhan, who dominates Sky Pillar. With just their clan's strength, even if they fought ten to one, they would still be wiped out.
It can be said that without the cooperation of these "big shots," controlling the Giant Clan and making them allies would be nothing but a pipe dream.
"Ahem, um..." Dragon Man coughed a couple of times, trying to change the atmosphere. But he was caught off guard by Wang Long.
"Look, this is the Dragon Barbarian Chieftain, a young and capable powerhouse, truly our best partner. Not long ago, he single-handedly destroyed the Alan Clan, shocking the universe. The Giant Clan there has already submitted to him. I originally wanted to bring him here to meet all of you so you could see we have gained a formidable ally. But now it seems that's unnecessary. With your current performance, I think it would be better to let Dragon Man take on the role of this alliance leader!"
"How infuriating! Don't push your luck! What Dragon Barbarian Chieftain? I've never even heard of him!" They never expected that Wang Long would actually confront them head-on. Even before they proposed breaking the alliance, they had already found a "replacement"!
Uncle can endure, but Aunt cannot!
The Giant Clan was already furious, and with Wang Long adding fuel to the fire, everyone was on edge. However, they did not leave—after all, this was originally Wang Long's territory, and now it had been transformed into a solid camp through their hard work. They couldn't just abandon it.
"Wang Long, are you saying that this young brat is more qualified to be the leader than I am?"
"That's right!"
"You mean this kid single-handedly took down the entire Alan Clan?"
"Exactly!"
War Scythe Ming couldn't help but sneer.
Although the Alan Clan was also a large tribe, it was nothing compared to them. Even so, claiming that one person could defeat an entire tribe was absurd. Who did he think he was, the reincarnation of the Giant Spirit God?
"If that's the case, then I would like to see for myself." War Scythe Ming didn't directly expose him on the spot. For him, he had long surpassed the level of the Giant Clan, which sought temporary vanity at the expense of their future. He was a man of reason! "If he really can do what Wang Long says and take on an entire clan by himself, then what's wrong with us recognizing him as our leader? But if this is just you trying to deceive us, Wang Long?"
Wang Long replied without a hint of embarrassment, "Then I will serve you tea and apologize. From now on, whatever you say goes!"
"Heh, serving tea and apologizing? Do you really think that's something worth mentioning?" War Scythe Ming was a staunch pragmatist.
No matter what face-saving measures or apologies were offered, even the great grudge against the Giant Spirit Lord was merely a bargaining chip for exchanging interests in public or private.
"Then you tell me what should be done!"
"It's simple. If I defeat him, I'll spare his life, but you have to exchange it for five thousand Purple Essence Battle Axes or Purple Essence War Halberds!"
Upon hearing War Scythe Ming's demand, everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Five thousand Purple Essence Battle Axes or Purple Essence War Halberds—what kind of concept is that!
Although these tribes were all large tribes, generally speaking, they could hardly muster even five thousand elite soldiers.
Moreover, it was very likely that a thousand of those would be the cream of the crop.
And those who could wield the Purple Essence Battle Axes and Purple Essence War Halberds were precisely the elite among the elite!
One could imagine that with so many powerful weapons and armor, their strength would undoubtedly skyrocket, even surpassing the combined might of other tribes!
For a moment, their gazes towards War Scythe Ming became somewhat peculiar.
