Yang Chen's family once again took the lead and entered Long Can's space. Behind them, Gong Sunling and the third primordial soul began to fight for the space occupied by Long Can with all their might. The two sides quickly formed a stalemate.
It wasn't that the dividing line between the two sides didn't move, but that Gong Sunling's side advanced a little, while Long Can's side advanced a little. Both sides were increasing and decreasing, maintaining a dynamic balance. However, if someone really calculated accurately, they would definitely realize that Gong Sunling's side actually had a small advantage. Overall, the speed at which Gong Sunling refined Long Can's space was slightly faster than the speed at which Long Can refined Gong Sunling's space.
Even though there was an advantage, it wasn't very obvious. Even Long Can himself didn't realize it. This didn't mean that Gong Sunling and the third primordial soul had a slight upper hand, but it was the result of the third primordial soul's control.
It was necessary to maintain such a stalemate and gain a slight upper hand. It could force Long Can to put in all his energy to barely maintain the balance, so that he wouldn't have any spare energy to deal with the cultivators in the space. Yang Chen's family had the method and ability to escape from Long Can's space, but that didn't mean that the cultivators of the Spirit Realm's Sect had it. Yang Chen couldn't let the cultivators of the Spirit Realm take the risk.
Previously, when the two sides were fighting to refine each other's space, Long Can couldn't take care of the cultivators inside. This was what Yang Chen had said, so even if Yang Chen wanted to prove that what he said was true, he had to be the first to enter. Even though he had been safe and sound in Long Can's space during the battle between the Golden Immortals, it didn't mean anything. Some things had to be verified by the various parties personally.
Fortunately, the various parties had already sent many scouts in to search for the whereabouts of the Zhao Family cultivators. This could be considered as giving face to Yang Chen so that he wouldn't not believe him at all. However, many Sect Masters had promised great rewards to these cultivators. As long as they could return safely, they would definitely be rewarded handsomely.
Actually, this was all a show. As long as Long Can wasn't so stupid, even if he had the ability, he definitely wouldn't touch these guys. Only when a large group of people came in would the Spiritual Realm's Sect be taken advantage of.
Many Sect Masters understood this, so they were very confident in their spies. They were looking forward to finding the whereabouts of the Zhao Family in the other's space.
However, it seemed that the cultivators from the Spirit Realm were quite lucky this time. In less than a month, several cultivators who came to explore found traces of the Zhao Family cultivators. Fortunately, the other party did not discover them. The cultivators who explored the way all had good magic treasures that could hide their bodies and avoid the detection of Divine Sense. This also allowed these cultivators to follow them all the way to a stronghold of the Zhao Family.
This stronghold was not small, and there were at least a few thousand cultivators inside. The cultivators who were scouting the way didn't dare to make a sound and quietly retreated. After marking the location, they quickly rushed back.
When the news was brought back to the Joint Command Headquarters, everyone was in high spirits. At the end of the day, the Zhao Family was the real enemy. Being able to wipe out the several thousand cultivators of the Zhao Family was also a small contribution. The higher-ups discussed and each sent hundreds of experts to form a joint team. They carefully entered a spatial magic treasure of an expert and were led all the way to the explored territory.
The cultivators of the Zhao Family didn't notice anything at all. They were still living leisurely and cultivating step by step, completely unaware of the impending disaster. When the experts of the Spiritual Realm launched a sneak attack, they hurriedly responded to the battle. However, the Zhao Clan's cultivators only persisted for less than the time for an incense stick to burn before only a few Mysterious Immortal Cultivators remained. Coupled with the fact that the Zhao Clan had numerous experts and possessed an absolute advantage in terms of numbers and cultivation, the Zhao Clan's base of several thousand cultivators only lasted for less than the time for an incense stick to burn before only a few Mysterious Immortal Cultivators remained.
The last few Xuan Immortals didn't last long. Under the siege of Xuan Immortal experts who outnumbered them by dozens of times, they couldn't even cause any casualties to the cultivators of the Spiritual Realm. They died with hatred.
This small victory was also a good start, which made the higher-ups of the Joint Command Headquarters happy. However, they were even more happy that from the beginning of the reconnaissance to the later attack, the Zhao Family's Dragon Clan expert Long Can didn't launch a targeted operation. He didn't attack, defend, or even report the location of these cultivators to the Zhao Family.
What did this mean? Either like what Yang Chen said, he couldn't be distracted in the process of fighting with Gong Sunling for the Monster Realm, or this Dragon Clan expert from the Zhao Family had other intentions. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so indifferent to thousands of Xuan Immortal elites. One must know that this was equivalent to the top combat power of at least one or two Super Sect.
To be able to use so many Xuan Immortal experts to test the opponent's reaction, it was probably something that could only be done by an alliance of sects. Fortunately, the result was very good.
Of course, they couldn't rule out the possibility that the opponent had other intentions. After all, what Yang Chen said was not very reassuring. Gongsun Ling and the other party's cultivation base was a whole realm apart. This was a hard wound that could not be made up for. It was really difficult for all the cultivators at the top of the joint command to believe that Gongsun Ling, who was at the peak Xuan Immortal stage, could fight with a peak Golden Immortal dragon clan master in the refining space. The higher-ups of all parties would rather believe that Long Can had other intentions. It seemed that this was more likely.
Yang Chen couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't tell the secret of the mountain river geographical map and all the things like Tianyuan Pills, right? Yang Chen didn't have such a habit of exposing all his trump cards to others just to ask others to believe him. Moreover, Yang Lan would soon arrange for those cultivators of the Zhao Family to take the initiative to die. Why should Yang Chen find trouble for himself because of this?
All parties began to cooperate again and again under the situation of the same big goal but slightly different small goals. They found that there were more and more cultivators of the Zhao Family, and the attacks became more and more frequent. Although the results of the battle were not big each time, they always gained something. However, it was inevitable that casualties began to appear.
After the first casualties, the casualties of the cultivators of the spiritual world increased. There were several times when they thought that it was a sneak attack on the stronghold of the Zhao Family, but they were ambushed and suffered a few big losses. Fortunately, these elites ran fast enough and didn't get entangled. Although a lot of them were left behind, the majority of the troops were able to escape safely.
It wasn't until this moment that the higher-ups of the Joint Command Headquarters of the spiritual world believed that the Zhao Family really didn't have a big conspiracy. In the face of a behemoth like the Zhao Family, it was normal for there to be injuries and deaths. If they won all the way without any losses, the first thing the higher-ups would do was to let these elites turn around and run.
What was even more fortunate was that when this group of elites escaped, they caught several Earth Immortal cultivators of the Zhao Family. As a result, after using various methods to pry open the mouths of the other party, they got the exact location of the Zhao Family's manor from their mouths.
