Chapter 2782: Someone Is Spying
The First God’s expression changed; what Ye Wantong said was completely correct. In her current state, she could be called a half-step Strongest. Although she had not completely become a Strongest yet, she already possessed some of a Strongest’s abilities.
If she cooperated with the Heaven-Slaying Blade of the Heaven Slayer, she really would be able to severely wound a Strongest.
They had been fighting the Human Clan’s Strongest for so many years, and everyone’s strength was almost evenly matched. It could even be said that the Human Clan faintly held a slight upper hand.
In such a situation, if another half-step Strongest like Ye Wantong joined in, then the war would tilt even more toward the Human Clan’s side.
If those Human Clan Strongest entangled the Guardian God’s Strongest, and Ye Wantong held the Heaven-Slaying Blade and launched sneak attacks from behind, there was no need to say what the result would be.
If it really came to that, then on the Guardian God’s side, they would definitely suffer heavy losses, and that was a situation the First God was unwilling to see.
So after pondering for a moment, the First God finally gritted his teeth and said, "You’re lucky this time, but this matter isn’t over. The grudges between us and your Human Clan will have to be settled once and for all in the end!"
"You still need to say that? Even if you wanted us to spare you, we wouldn’t spare you!" the Taoist Venerable shouted.
The First God glared angrily at the Taoist Venerable, then turned around with clenched teeth. "We’re leaving!"
Those Strongest followed behind the First God and all left as well.
They were also very clear about the situation now. If they continued to fight, the Guardian God side wouldn’t gain the slightest advantage and would instead suffer a great loss, so naturally they wouldn’t continue fighting here rashly.
After the Guardian God Strongest left, Ye Wantong couldn’t help but let out a breath of relief. She quickly descended into the Nine Realms, and the moment she landed, the aura on her body began to rapidly weaken.
The six Heaven Slayer members came in from outside, and upon seeing this scene, all six of them were stunned.
"What’s going on?" the Taoist Venerable asked in surprise.
Qi’er glanced over and said, "Sister Ye actually hasn’t completely digested the Chaos Flower yet. At this time she should still be in seclusion. But she forced herself out, forcibly used the Spiritual Energy of the Chaos Flower, and scared those Guardian Gods away!"
"So that’s how it is!" The Taoist Venerable suddenly understood, then said, "Ah, girl, why are you in such a rush? When we fight the Guardian God, we’re not going to lose to them. Even if we fight for another thousand or ten thousand years, nothing will happen. The most important thing for you is to digest the Chaos Flower; why bother coming out to scare them?"
The aura on Ye Wantong’s body gradually leveled off. She sighed and said softly, "Actually, I didn’t want to come out this early either. But when I was absorbing the Chaos Flower, I sensed an extremely powerful power, as if it was peeping at me. I was worried something unexpected might happen, so I came out early to scare those Guardian Gods away first!"
"An extremely powerful power?" Everyone was stunned. The Taoist Venerable asked curiously, "How powerful was this power?"
Ye Wantong pondered for a while, then looked at the Heaven Slayer. "That power, the way it felt to me, was even stronger than the Heaven Slayer’s power!"
"What?" Everyone cried out in shock. The Heaven Slayer’s power was currently the strongest among the Strongest. A power even stronger than the Heaven Slayer’s—how was that even imaginable?
"How can there be a person whose power is stronger than a Strongest’s!" The Taoist Venerable shook his head. "Girl, did you have some kind of hallucination?"
Ye Wantong shook her head. "I felt it very clearly. It wasn’t just me—Su Yang sensed it too!"
"Hey, where is Su Yang?" Only then did everyone realize that they hadn’t seen Su Yang all this time.
"He’s in seclusion. He sent me a sound transmission to tell me!" Ye Wantong said. "I didn’t notice it at first; it was only after he sent me a sound transmission that I sensed it!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately became serious. Even Su Yang had sensed it, so it probably wasn’t an illusion.
But then why hadn’t the Strongest sensed anything?
And besides, a power even stronger than the Heaven Slayer—how could such a person exist?
After mulling it over for a while, the Human Emperor suddenly frowned and said, "Could it be that the Heavenly Venerable has shown up?"
The moment he spoke, everyone was shocked.
The last Heavenly Venerable they had been waiting for all these years was actually about to appear?
"No way, right?" The Demon Lord was dumbfounded. "If that Heavenly Venerable came out, why didn’t we sense it?"
The others looked at each other, all with puzzled expressions.
They were all Strongest. If a Heavenly Venerable really appeared, then the fluctuations of such a powerful power definitely couldn’t escape their Spiritual Sense. The fact that they hadn’t sensed anything at all was really strange!
"Could it be that you misread it?" The Buddha Venerable said, "You haven’t stepped into the realm of the Strongest yet, so you’re not very clear on the power at this realm. So you misjudged it and thought the person peeping at you was very powerful, when in fact he wasn’t that strong!"
Everyone nodded one after another; that was indeed possible.
Ye Wantong shook her head. "I don’t think I’m wrong. That person’s aura was indeed stronger than the Heaven Slayer’s. Even if the Heaven Slayer were standing right in front of me now, I’d still feel that way. And it’s not just me; Su Yang feels the same. It’s impossible that both of us misread it, right?"
"That’s what’s strange." Everyone looked at each other. If they hadn’t misread it, then it could only be a Heavenly Venerable. But if it really was a Heavenly Venerable, why was it that only Ye Wantong and Su Yang sensed it, while they, these Strongest, hadn’t sensed anything?
"According to what we’ve found out from the Guardian God’s side, this last Heavenly Venerable seems to be brewing some major undertaking!" The Taoist Venerable frowned. "We don’t know exactly what he’s planning, but it seems certain that whatever he’s brewing is aimed at us. Tell me, could this Heavenly Venerable have found some method to conceal his aura so that we can’t sense him?"
"This..." The few of them all fell silent; this was also possible.
"No matter what, now that such a person has appeared, we must become vigilant!" the Heaven Slayer said in a deep voice. "Whether he is that last Heavenly Venerable or not, we can’t let our guard down. The strength on the Guardian God’s side is probably even stronger than we anticipated. The Heavenly Dao Stone Tablet definitely won’t sit by and watch the Guardian God be defeated by us; it might have done something behind the scenes!"
"He’s right. We must be careful and on guard about this matter!" The Demon Lord nodded. "Let’s not worry about who this person is for now; the main thing is to guard against him. Even if he really is that last Heavenly Venerable, if we prepare in advance, at least we’ll be somewhat safer!"
Everyone nodded one after another; there was no disagreement here. To deal with the Guardian God, they had to be fully prepared. No one knew what other schemes the Guardian God might have. If they were even slightly careless, the Human Clan might very well be in danger!
