Distorting Facts
“Why are those two taking so long?” complained Long Xingan, disturbed after hearing all the voices, sounds and seeing fiends sneaking over to swamp.
“They’ll be fine. Mu Yu is a Body Synthesis Realm cultivator relying on supplementary equipment when it boils down to it,” assured Long Shentu.
“Rather than being worried about them, I’m worried about Mu Yu escaping. The elemental demon abilities he’s equipped with will make slipping away a walk in the park for him. Look at the fiends coming over and watching. If this keeps up, everyone in the kingdom will find out about our attack.”
“How about we defuse the formation and vanquish the valley ourselves? The two of us could definitely get the job done.”
“I disapprove. There’s no way we can do it without leaving evidence,” argued Long Xingan.
Fiends began to clamour.
“What happened? What are the two dragon leaders doing? I swear I’ve seen this formation before.”
“What happened to Sunshine Valley’s forest?”
“You want to go see what happened at the ruins?”
“Hell no. We can ask those who went if they make it back.”
“Excuse me, could you two please tell us what is going on?”
“Long Xingan, are we going to silence all of them?”
“… Fellow fiends, the four of us are trying to apprehend a traitor hiding in Sunshine Valley. A human going by the name Mu Yu attempted to exterminate Sunshine Valley, and we unearthed his plans. While Jade Wyrm and Long Keshuang have gone after him as he absconded, we are here to protect you,” claimed Long Xingan.
“Doctor, is that true?” asked a fiend.
“It’s absolute hogwash! You four are coveting Lord True Dragon’s blood and are now trying to silence us for it. You four deserve to be executed for your insolence!” responded the doctor.
Hearing the residents of Sunshine Valley rise up in support, the fiends from other areas swivelled their large eyes back to the two maintaining the barrier.
Long Xingan spun his brain cogs quickly, disputing, “Please do not fall for the lies you hear from Sunshine Valley’s residents. Mu Yu used his knowledge of medicine to brainwash all of their residents.”
Long Shentu added, “Had it not been for the four of us reacting in time, Mu Yu would’ve led them on a campaign to attack your homes tonight.”
“That is precisely why we must bring him in,” Long Xingan finished up.
Upon noticing doubt creep into the fiends’ eyes, Long Shentu promised, “Jade Wyrm and Long Keshuang will be sure to capture that diabolic human.”
“Really now?” sarcastically asked Mu Yu, flying back into view. “Better luck next time.”
The flames in the valley illuminated two round-ish objects whooshing into the airspace, where everyone could see what they were in plain sight – Jade Wyrm and Long Keshuang’s yellow heads!
Words failed Long Shentu and Long Xingan when they could not have defeated either Jade Wyrm or Long Keshuang in a one-on-one duel. Elder Tiantu rubbed his eyes and looked again. Some fiends shrieked upon beholding Jade Wyrm and Long Keshuang’s super-sized eyes.
“Y-you treacherous human!” quavered Long Shentu, legs scuttling backward.
Long Xingan, first to regather his thoughts, accused, “See? Mu Yu has not only brainwashed the residents of Sunshine Valley but also beheaded Jade Wyrm and Long Keshuang. We must kill him and protect Lord True Dragon!”
