"Sea Rakshasa, Ouyang Qingmu!"
Looking at the woman before him, Han Bing was startled. "He is an important member of the Sea Rakshasa, how dare he intrude into Long Country alone!"
"Could it be that he came prepared!" Bei Dou spoke up, "Should we notify the Boss and the others?"
"Ouyang Qingmu's strength is formidable," Han Bing said with a serious expression. "Among the Dragon Group members, few can match him. His presence here must mean he has accomplices!"
Jian Ying frowned, surveying the many martial arts experts. He didn't know why people from the Sea Rakshasa had come to Long Country and appeared within Zhongzhou.
"So beautiful!"
Han Qiushui exclaimed in surprise, "She even exudes a feminine aura!"
"The more beautiful, the more venomous!" Gu Long woke up, saying, "On the Outer Realm battlefield, countless Long Country experts have died at the hands of the Sea Rakshasa!"
"You have successfully captured my attention!"
Ouyang Qingmu looked at Lu Fan, "However, all the martial arts experts within Baiyun Peak today will meet their demise!"
As soon as the words fell, over ten figures stepped forward. Each of them wore black and moved unseen amongst the crowd.
"Everyone be careful!"
Han Bing shouted, stepping in front of everyone. "I am a member of the Dragon Group. The martial arts大会 is hereby concluded. Everyone is to leave Baiyun Peak immediately!"
Jian Ying quickly contacted other members of the Dragon Group. With so many experts from the Sea Rakshasa present, how could the three of them possibly handle it?
"We are all people of Long Country, how can we be afraid of death!"
Several Grandmasters spoke directly, "We must fight them to the death. With so many experts here, are we afraid of them!"
"That's right, fight them to the death! They dare to intrude into Long Country, so let them never return!"
Shouts erupted, and many martial arts experts were filled with righteous indignation.
However, Han Bing's face turned ashen. These over ten figures from the Sea Rakshasa were all at the War Spirit level, far beyond what these martial arts Grandmasters could handle.
In that very instant, several Grandmasters met their demise.
The experts from the Sea Rakshasa were skilled in assassination techniques, capable of killing unseen, especially the weak, as easily as crushing ants.
Witnessing the scene, many martial arts experts were terrified. Their initial righteous anger turned to fear as they saw several Grandmasters killed in moments. How could they not be afraid of such terrifying strength?
"Jian Ying, stop them!" Han Bing said sternly, "We absolutely cannot let them run amok!"
Jian Ying and Bei Dou nodded and immediately joined the fight.
These martial arts experts represented the future of Long Country, and would later become the pillars of the nation. Any harm to them would undoubtedly damage Long Country's foundation.
Unfortunately, the Sea Rakshasa had numerous members, all of whom were War Spirit level experts. With only the three of them, Han Bing, Jian Ying, and Bei Dou, they were overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, at the border of Long Country, Long Aotian frowned, "Ninth Elder, it seems something is amiss. Baiyun Peak in Zhongzhou is under attack, and the Sea Rakshasa has infiltrated!"
"Luring the tiger away from its mountain?"
The Ninth Elder frowned. The other elders of Long Country needed to maintain overall control and could not be dispatched easily. With the three of them at the border, he feared the situation was dire.
"Aotian, you take the Dragon Group members to Zhongzhou!"
The Ninth Elder said coldly, "We absolutely cannot let the Sea Rakshasa run wild! If necessary, annihilate them all!"
"But!" Long Aotian frowned, "Beyond this border, the experts of Hai Country are watching covetously. If we are not careful, I fear..."
"Worry not!" The Ninth Elder waved his hand. "If my guess is correct, they merely want to tie up Long Country's forces. Their true objective is likely Baiyun Peak!"
"Since that is the case, I shall provide aid!" Long Aotian stated directly, leading half of the Dragon Group members towards Baiyun Peak. He also sent a message to Han Bing.
However, just as he left the border and before entering Zhongzhou, Long Aotian abruptly halted.
"Captain, what is it?" the Dragon Group members asked in surprise.
"The aura is wrong!" Long Aotian said gravely, "There's an ambush!"
Everyone instantly became alert, looking in all directions. Hai Country's actions this time were likely well-prepared, and a major battle was inevitable today.
"Dragon Captain, long time no see!"
An evil voice rang out, and over ten figures appeared in the valley. The man at the forefront wore black and a special mask.
"Ouyang Qinghuo?"
Long Aotian frowned, "Hai Country making such a big move, are they trying to start a war with Long Country?"
Ouyang Qinghuo was the leader of the Sea Rakshasa, and his strength was not to be underestimated. Even Long Aotian might not have any chance of victory against him.
"Hai Country has never feared Long Country!"
Ouyang Qinghuo said coldly, "By now, there should be quite a show happening inside Baiyun Peak. It's a shame you won't be able to witness it!"
"This is within Long Country's borders. Do you truly believe you can act with impunity?" Long Aotian's aura surged, his gaze fixed on the man before him.
"I advise Captain Long not to act rashly!" Ouyang Qinghuo sneered. "After all, with the current situation, if we truly fight, the Dragon Group might not gain the upper hand!"
Long Aotian's expression shifted. As Ouyang Qinghuo said, the Dragon Group was not at an advantage. If a battle were to erupt, they would likely suffer.
"Hai Country's sudden attack, do they truly wish to be enemies with Long Country?" Long Aotian said coldly, "Even if everyone in Baiyun Peak perishes, you will not be able to leave Long Country!"
"Since Hai Country dares to act, they must have made preparations!" Ouyang Qinghuo said coldly. "Moreover, Long Country's three elders are tied up, and the others need to manage the overall situation. As for your top three elders, they are likely in seclusion, aren't they!"
Long Aotian's body stiffened. The First Elder and the others were indeed in seclusion, but this information was highly classified. How could the Sea Rakshasa and others know?
"Hai Country's actions are despicable!" Long Aotian said coldly, "Taking advantage of Long Country's defenses being empty to launch a surprise attack!"
"In recent years, disputes between Long Country and Hai Country have been constant. How could Hai Country allow Long Country to rise easily!" Ouyang Qinghuo sneered. "The many martial arts experts within Baiyun Peak will surely meet their demise!"
Blood vessels appeared in Long Aotian's eyes. He knew very well that martial arts experts were the future of Long Country. If many experts were to fall, it would be a tremendous loss for Long Country.
"Captain Long, I know you are very angry!" Ouyang Qinghuo shrugged, "But if we were to truly fight, you might not win. Why not take a step back and let the situation unfold?"
"This is a good suggestion!"
Long Aotian narrowed his eyes. "Dragon Group members, listen to my orders! Rest in place!"
"This..."
The Dragon Group members were surprised. The situation in Baiyun Peak was critical. If they didn't go, it would be difficult to stop the Sea Rakshasa and their people.
"Captain Long is indeed sensible!" Ouyang Qinghuo nodded with satisfaction.
"Captain Long, if we delay further, Han Bing and the others will be in danger!" a man spoke up. "The Sea Rakshasa has over ten War Spirits in Baiyun Peak!"
"If we force a fight, the Dragon Group might not be able to defeat them!" Long Aotian stated directly. "I have already informed the elders of this matter. The elders have instructed me to stabilize the situation, and they will find a way to handle the matter of Baiyun Peak!"
The Dragon Group members nodded. Ouyang Qinghuo was the leader of the Sea Rakshasa. Even if Long Aotian were to fight, he might not win, and they were very clear about this.
