Thinking this, Wang Mang looked at Wang Long with a kind gaze.

However, he was still doubtful. After all, there had to be some sort of underlying reason why this guy was being so straightforward.

Of course, even though he was puzzled, Wang Mang did not show it.

He said with a smile, “Thank you, General Wang Long. 1 wonder how many men your Deep Sea Python clan plans to send to serve under me?”

Hearing this, Wang Long naturally guessed Wang Mang’s doubts.

However, Wang Long did not intend to hide it either. This was mainly because Wang Mang’s strength made him think highly of him.

Wang Mang’s strength was much stronger than the current Sea Dragon clan’s South Conquering General, the Dragon King Whale clan’s East Conquering General and South Conquering General. Wang Mang was worthy of his allegiance.

“Great General, I’ll be upfront and honest. Actually, I’m helping you in order to help myself. Among the three main vassal clans, my Deep Sea Python clan is much weaker than the Sea Dragon clan and the Dragon King Whale clan.”

“Currently, the East Conquering General Wu Jing of the Dragon King Whale clan has reached the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm. The South Conquering General has also reached the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm.”

“They have even mentioned to the West Sea Dragon King more than once that they want the position of the Great General of Longwei.”

“However, the West Sea Dragon King refused because he naturally doesn’t want to see the Dragon King Whale clan and Sea Dragon clan becoming so powerful.”

“I believe that the West Sea Dragon King placed you in this position in hopes that you can suppress or restrain the Dragon King Whale clan and the Sea Dragon clan.”

“Moreover, the two other clans also want to squeeze our Deep Sea Python clan out of the ranks and divide up the power and authority among themselves.”

After hearing Wang Long’s words, Wang Mang finally understood the reason behind Wang Long’s offer.

However, Wang Mang was not interested in the infighting between the clans. After all, the reason why he got this position was actually to complete the mission. The only problem that made him somewhat helpless was that the mission had yet to be judged as completed.

Could it be because he was not a core figure of the faction in the truest sense of the word? It seemed that he could not rush things.

“So that’s how it is. Since the Deep Sea Python clan is willing to submit to me, I’m more than happy to oblige. Oh right, how much military authority do the four generals have?”

Hearing this, Wang Long replied respectfully, “Great General, the military authority we have allows us to command 100,000 troops, while your military authority allows you to command 300,000!”

“However, the East Conquering General and the South Conquering General don’t take this limitation seriously at all, and thus have hundreds of thousands of troops under their command.”

“Although the West Sea Dragon King is furious about it, he can only turn a blind eye to it, as the Dragon King Whale clan and the Sea Dragon clan also have a Taiyi Golden Immortal realm expert behind them.”

“Only our Deep Sea Python clan has never produced a Taiyi Golden Immortal realm expert. The strongest one in our clan is the old patriarch.”

Speaking of this, Wang Long seemed very helpless, and his tone was quite bitter. The Deep Sea Python clan reproduction rate was higher than the other two clans, but they had fewer high-level experts.

It could be said that the other two clans were no weaker than the West Sea Dragon clan in terms of strength.

After listening to this fellow’s words, Wang Mang roughly understood the gist of things. Wang Long was making a gamble that Wang Mang would become a Taiyi Golden Immortal realm expert in the future, which would put their clan on par with the other two.

At the end of the day, it was still strength that mattered.

With this thought, Wang Mang did not waste any more words. He waved his hand and said, “I’ll leave the matter of recruiting my 300,000 troops to you. Arrange it in the shortest time possible. Show me how sincere you are.”

With that, Wang Mang waved his hand, indicating that the latter could leave.

Wang Long hesitated for a moment, and then said, “That’s great! Great General, just wait for the good news.”

Then, Wang Long cupped his hands and left the Dragon Might Palace.

In truth, Wang Mang was not too interested in status or authority. To put it bluntly, the only thing he cared about was becoming stronger.

Another half a month passed, by which time Wang Mang had 300,000 men under him.

One-third of them were members of the Deep Sea Python clan. Clearly they had gone all out in supporting Wang Mang.

This also allowed Wang Mang’s status to rise from an undeserved Great General of Longwei to a true Great General of the Longwei. When Wang Mang troop count hit the 300,000-mark, the system’s voice rang out.

[Ding! Congratulations! Mission completed!]

[Ding! Congratulations! Obtained 5 million energy points!]

[Ding! Congratulations! Obtained Immortal-grade Gacha xi! ]

[Ding! Congratulations! Obtained an Immortal Treasure Chest Xi! ]

[Ding! Evolution requirements met. Begin evolution?]

“No!”

Wang Mang was quite satisfied by his progress. After only slightly more than a month, he was able to evolve again. In this case, it would not be long before he could reach the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm!

Excited, he decided to find a place to evolve.

However, just as Wang Mang was about to enter seclusion, a loud shout was heard from outside the Dragon Might Palace.

“Report! Great General of Longwei, the West Sea Dragon King invites you to the Crystal Palace for a meeting!”

The sea snake demon was the one who announced this.

Wang Mang frowned and muttered unhappily, “This fellow has impeccable timing…”

This left the little sea snake demon speechless, but it was already used to it, as Wang Mang often muttered such disrespectful things in its presence.

“Alright! 1 understand. You may leave.”

With that, Wang Mang waved his hand and walked out of the Dragon Might Palace, hurrying toward the Crystal Palace.

Soon, he arrived at the Crystal Palace.

As soon as he entered, Wang Mang saw a scene that surprised him.

The West Sea Dragon King was smashing things in a fit of rage, and the dancers and servants were all trembling in fear.

Upon seeing Wang Mang arrive, the West Sea Dragon King waved his hand, signaling for the others to leave.

The servants and dancers heaved a sigh of relief and left.

Wang Mang walked up with a puzzled expression.

“Why is Your Majesty so furious?”

Upon hearing this, the West Sea Dragon King sat on his dragon throne with a dispirited expression. His expression kept changing, sometimes ferocious and sometimes distorted. It was difficult to hide his anger.

After a long silence, the West Sea Dragon King’s face turned ferocious. He gritted his teeth and said, “Great General, this matter concerns the reputation of the West Sea Dragon clan.”

“I have decided to ask you to kill two vile creatures. They are my second son Ao Fei and my ninth consort.”

“These two things are worse than pigs and dogs.. How dare they do things behind my back? 1 will tear them into pieces!”
