"Hmph! Keeping silent, are you speechless because I've seen through your scheme?"
Seeing Qinglin remain quiet, Longma let out a cold snort, convinced it had guessed correctly.
With this thought, Longma gritted its teeth and continued.
"Bring out your people! Hiding and sneaking around isn't the style of your Ancient God Department."
After speaking, Longma vigilantly scanned its surroundings, ready to escape at any moment. With the enemy in the shadows, it could be captured at any time. However, if they were in the open, it could at least use its speed to flee.
Qinglin took a deep breath to calm its emotions, then looked at Longma and said,
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I can tell you that what you're thinking is simply not true. The Ancient God Department wouldn't go to such great lengths for a mere demonic beast like you."
"Furthermore, I wasn't tracking you. I was already planning to attack the Eastern Heavenly King. You suddenly appeared and disrupted my plan, causing the Eastern Heavenly King to discover us."
"Roar! You're lying! Given my status, why wouldn't your Ancient God Department value me? Why wouldn't they go to great lengths to capture me?"
Longma immediately roared in response, feeling insulted. It was Longma, after all! Why wouldn't the Ancient God Department try every means to capture it?
"You underestimate me!"
Hearing this, Qinglin simply closed its eyes and continued its healing. This foolish horse couldn't understand human speech.
"Speak! What do you mean? Roar! Don't think I can't deal with you!"
Seeing this, Longma became anxious. The other party's dismissive attitude made it feel very uncomfortable. Then, recalling its earlier words, it let out another growl and spoke again.
"What do you mean you were going to attack the Eastern Heavenly King? You, at the early stage of Dominance, dare to attack a late-stage Dominance expert? Do you think I'll believe your nonsense?"
"Why not? We killed the Southern Heavenly King. He's just an injured Eastern Heavenly King. If the timing is right, I can worsen his injuries, and then find an opportunity to kill him. It's not impossible!"
Qinglin replied, ceasing its cultivation. It realized that if it didn't make things clear to this foolish horse, it would keep arguing here.
Moreover, if the other party knew that it and Li Xiaotian had killed the Southern Heavenly King, it might put aside its hostility.
"What??? This is impossible!!! You killed the Southern Heavenly King? You are one of those two mysterious experts?"
Longma pawed the ground, its eyes widening as it stared at Qinglin, its gaze filled with disbelief.
"The other one was Li Xiaotian. To be precise, he killed him. I didn't do much."
Qinglin spoke, then looked seriously at Longma and continued.
"Li Xiaotian killed the Southern Heavenly King. I merely cooperated with him, and I didn't tell the Ancient God Department about him. Therefore, I am not an enemy."
After finishing, it looked at Longma and was momentarily stunned.
Longma was standing there blankly, its mouth agape, its eyes bulging, as if it had been immobilized.
The Southern Heavenly King was killed by Li Xiaotian! The Southern Heavenly King was killed by Li Xiaotian!!!
At this moment, Longma's mind was filled with only this thought, repeating endlessly, its heart filled with immense shock.
"Roar!!! This is impossible! This is impossible! That kid was being hunted by your Ancient God Department, barely able to protect himself. How could he have the time to kill the Southern Heavenly King?"
Longma roared, its mind in chaos. It had thought that its current achievements far surpassed Li Xiaotian's, and had even looked down on Li Xiaotian.
But who would have thought that the opportunity it longed for, to become famous and renowned throughout the world, had actually been achieved by Li Xiaotian?
What pained it even more was that the other party hadn't used this opportunity to gain fame!!!
Foolish!
Li Xiaotian had missed such a great opportunity!
"Why is he living incognito? Why didn't he use this chance to gather his forces and recruit soldiers? Doesn't he know that if he seized this opportunity to build a force, he would have at least a ten percent greater chance against the Ancient God Department!!"
Longma lamented, as if the one who had missed this opportunity was itself, not Li Xiaotian.
Hearing this, Qinglin looked at Longma with a perplexed expression. Letting Li Xiaotian gain fame and then gather a group to confront the Ancient God Department? That would be seeking death faster!
"The Ancient God Department is not as simple as you think."
Qinglin said calmly.
"What do you know? To deal with a force like the Ancient God Department, you need to rally allies!"
Longma berated, then ignored Qinglin and ran to an empty spot to vent its anger. It was filled with hatred and frustration!
If Li Xiaotian had listened to its advice back then, he would surely be a formidable presence in the War Domain by now.
Unfortunately, the other party's vision was too narrow, and it lacked such profound ideas.
"Alas! My judgment was mistaken!"
Longma sighed.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a powerful aura descended upon the entire valley, followed by an explosion of terrifying pressure.
"Roar! Not good!"
Longma roared and immediately sped up, preparing to escape.
However, immediately after, figures emanating powerful auras appeared in the four directions of the valley, completely sealing it off.
"What's happening?"
Qinglin instantly appeared beside Longma, its expression grave. Four Dominance experts, could it be people from the Black Robe Alliance?
"Roar! I want to ask you too? Are these people from your Ancient God Department?"
Longma roared. It knew that the Ancient God Department would never let it go. It shouldn't have listened to this little girl's nonsense earlier, which cost it any chance of escape.
At this moment, the figures in the four directions of the valley revealed their faces. It was indeed Xing Zhan and the other three, guarding the four directions, their auras locked onto Longma and Qinglin.
"Qinglin, it's you?"
The speaker was the Seventh Divine General of the Ancient God Department, his tone filled with surprise.
Qinglin's expression changed slightly, then its brows furrowed. It had guessed the purpose of the four of them coming here.
"Roar! Little girl, I saved you, and you betrayed me! You still say your Ancient God Department doesn't want to capture me?"
Seeing this, Longma roared again. If it still couldn't understand that this little girl had betrayed it, it would be utterly foolish.
"They're not here to capture you. Speak less. If there's a chance later, you escape. Find Li Xiaotian and tell him that the Ancient God Department knows where he is."
Qinglin quickly transmitted its voice to Longma. The fact that the Dominance experts from the four major powers had joined forces suggested it could only be an order from the Divine Lord.
"Roar! Bullshit! They're here to capture me! You're still trying to deceive me now?"
Longma shouted, its aura surging and its killing intent overflowing.
"Brother, you don't need to worry. We're not here to capture you, we're here to capture that woman."
Just then, a voice rang out. Longma quickly looked and was filled with disbelief.
The speaker was a black bear, standing behind the Great Ape Emperor.
And that person was the most trusted general under Longma.
"Brother, I lied to you. I'm not a wild demon. I'm the grandson of the Bear Emperor of the Myriad Demon Royal Court. The people from the four major powers in the War Domain have been looking for a stranger Dominance expert these past few days. You brought this woman back, and I was worried she might use you, so I told Uncle Ape about her."
The black bear said, its eyes filled with apology, its head lowered as if ashamed to face Longma.
"Not here to capture me?"
Longma's eyes widened, a hint of awkwardness in its gaze, but then it seemed to recall something, and its gaze suddenly shifted to Qinglin, transmitting its question.
"You told me to find Li Xiaotian just now. Are these people here to confirm Li Xiaotian's whereabouts?"
"Yes, the Ancient God Department doesn't know that Li Xiaotian entered the War Domain. Now it seems they must have confirmed whether Li Xiaotian is in the War Domain."
Qinglin transmitted, also feeling a sense of relief. This foolish horse knew to transmit its voice at critical moments; it was worried the other party wouldn't know the severity of the situation and would speak out directly.
"If the Ancient God Department confirms Li Xiaotian is in the War Domain, what will they do?"
Longma asked.
"They will blockade the War Domain and send powerful experts in, gradually forcing Li Xiaotian out."
Qinglin replied, a hint of gloom flashing in its eyes. It might face significant punishment for not reporting this information.
