"Captain, rest assured, we will follow your arrangements and will never expose our Dragon Group identity!" Han Bing said repeatedly, "After all, the captain is so patriotic, how could we betray the captain!"
"You're the only one who knows how to talk!" Long Aotian gave him a sideways glance.
In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Group members vanished from Jiangjing Longting without any delay. Lu Fan and the others had already left, and if they didn't act quickly, they would be too late to catch up.
The Qingyun Sect members had not walked a few steps when Lu Fan suddenly stopped and looked towards the distant woods, "Come out!"
A slender figure darted out, smiling foolishly at Lu Fan, "I just wanted to see. After all, I am also a martial artist, and I also want to serve the country!"
"Isn't it good for you to stay at Jiangjing Longting!" Lu Fan glanced at her, "The journey to the Black Bear Country is quite dangerous. Although you are a martial artist, you may not be able to save your life."
"No matter what, I am about to reach the Grandmaster realm and can break through to the Grandmaster realm through this battle!" Jiang Meili said seriously, "I hope you will not refuse me!"
"Gu Wen, I'll leave her to you for protection!" Lu Fan glanced at him, "If even a single hair is missing, I will hold you accountable!"
"Master, rest assured, nothing will happen with me here!" Gu Wen cupped his fists.
The Qingyun Sect members then set off in a timely manner, not delaying on the road. They were well-prepared for this trip to the Black Bear Country.
Upon reaching the border of the Dragon Country, dozens of figures appeared before the Qingyun Sect members. Looking at the people in front of him, Lu Fan's brows twitched, "Why are you here!"
"How can we go to the Black Bear Country without the Dragon Group!" Long Aotian said with a smile, "Take us with you! The Dragon Group also wants to settle this bloody feud with them!"
"Since that's the case, then join the ranks!" Lu Fan said directly, "However, if you don't want others to know, then hide your identities, and be considered a member of my Qingyun Sect!"
"That's exactly what we intend!" Han Bing said repeatedly.
In the Black Bear Country, the elders in the headquarters sat cross-legged, their expressions not good. This time, they attacked the Dragon Country, not only did they not gain any advantage, but they also suffered losses.
"Great Elder, the Black Bear Country had five War Kings, but now only three remain!"
A white-haired old man spoke, "The sacrifice of two elders on the extraterrestrial battlefield is a severe blow to the national strength of the Black Bear Country!"
"I wanted to get a piece of the pie and use the power of the Azure Country, but I didn't expect the Dragon Country to be so tenacious!" The Great Elder said coldly, "If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have acted rashly!"
"Even Yan Cangtian was killed. What kind of powerful expert does the Dragon Country have!" The white-haired old man said seriously, "It is rumored that Yan Cangtian had already stepped into the half-step War Emperor realm in his early years. Does the Dragon Country have War Emperor experts!"
"I'm not too sure about the specifics, but I know that when Yan Cangtian was no match, I secretly took the Black Bear Country people away!" The Great Elder said, "Even if that person is not a War Emperor, he is probably not far from it!"
Facing these words, everyone's faces turned ashen. If the Dragon Country truly had a War Emperor expert, it would be a huge blow to the entire Black Bear Country and would cause endless trouble.
After all, the Black Bear Country was just a small country, yet it dared to attack the Dragon Country. Once the Dragon Country retaliated, it would definitely not let the Black Bear Country off easily.
"Since that's the case, we need to make preparations early!" The Third Elder said, "They will not give up easily!"
"You can rest assured about that. The Dragon Country has suffered heavy casualties and is in no condition to start a war!" The Great Elder waved his hand, "Moreover, the Black Bear Country is backed by the Azure Country. As long as the Azure Country does not fall, our Black Bear Country can dominate one side!"
Following the Great Elder's words, the two old men looked at each other, unsure of what to say. They were very clear that the Black Bear Country's kicking someone when they were down was ultimately not a good thing.
"Great Elder, although the Azure Country is our backer, in a critical situation, the Azure Country may not act!" The Third Elder said, "Having strength in one's own hands is the hard truth. As for others, if you value them too much, it will make the country overconfident!"
"Are you questioning me?"
The Great Elder was displeased, "I have been in charge of the Black Bear Country for so many years, have there ever been any problems? If it weren't for me, the Black Bear Country would not have the strength it has today!"
The two elders were silent. They knew the Great Elder quite well and didn't dare to say more.
After the two elders left, the Great Elder began to brew tea, looking leisurely. Although the Black Bear Country lost two War Kings this time, it was worth it.
Now, the Black Bear Country probably has quite a reputation among many countries. After all, by allying with the Azure Country, they will be an allied country of the Azure Country in the future, and probably no one in the entire extraterrestrial battlefield would dare to offend the Black Bear Country.
And in a courtyard, the Second Elder frowned, "I said long ago that this muddy water is not easy to wade in, but unfortunately, the Great Elder just wouldn't listen!"
"It's useless to say this now!" The Third Elder shook his head, "Now that the Dragon Country has suffered greatly, once they recover, they will probably trouble the Black Bear Country!"
"This is beyond doubt!" The Second Elder said directly, "Not only did we not get any benefits, but we also got into trouble. This matter was handled improperly!"
The Third Elder also complained continuously, "The Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder had just broken through to the War King realm, but unfortunately, they both perished on the extraterrestrial battlefield!"
The two elders were dissatisfied, but just then, a man rushed over, looking quite panicked.
"Da Xiong, why are you becoming more and more unruly!" The Second Elder frowned, "This is the headquarters, you can't be so careless!"
"Elders, something big has happened!" The man said repeatedly, "Many strongholds of the Black Bear Country have been destroyed, and now there are very few left. If there is no reinforcement from experts, they will enter the hinterland of the Black Bear Country, and the Black Bear Country is in peril!"
As they were talking, the Great Elder also came out, "What exactly is going on! Why are the many strongholds of the Black Bear Country in peril!"
"Your subordinate doesn't know!" The man said repeatedly, "Their combat power is extraordinary, and we can't resist them at all. They will probably enter the hinterland soon, and then the entire Black Bear Country will be in great trouble!"
"Second and Third Elders, come with me to take a look!" The Great Elder's voice was cold, "The Black Bear Country is a country after all, how can it be controlled by others!"
The two elders did not hesitate. This matter was no trivial matter, and they dared not delay in the slightest, otherwise, the entire Black Bear Country might fall into the hands of others.
And at the strongholds of the Black Bear Country, there were shouts of killing everywhere. Lu Fan destroyed several strongholds with a single hand, his eyes filled with coldness.
The Black Bear Country acted as a bully, and now that it has fallen to this state, it is well-deserved.
