Star-Moon City:
Due to the appearance of Evernight City, the current Star-Moon City changed every day. Level 40 and above players roamed the city's bustling main streets.
Only, the players currently visiting Star-Moon City were not here for Evernight City, but for Stone Forest Town.
Although good weapons and equipment were tempting, combat techniques were even more tempting.
The Wind and Rain Experts List had no lack of experts who used combat techniques. There were even introductions about these techniques. Hence, combat techniques were not foreign to independent players. They only found them mysterious. To ordinary expert players, however, combat techniques were something they desperately wanted to grasp.
Only, unlike system-provided skills, combat techniques were not something that could be easily obtained through quests or loot. Instead, players needed to learn the techniques themselves. However, how could a combat technique be so easy to learn? Unless one became a core member of a large Guild, the large Guilds would not teach combat techniques to players.
Although it was possible to imitate the real experts in the videos, it would be akin to drawing a tiger from a cat. Moreover, the more powerful a combat technique was, the more difficult it was to imitate. There were many combat techniques that players could not even understand, making it impossible to imitate.
As for creating one's own combat technique, that was easier said than done.
There were many combat techniques that players might not be able to learn even if they were taught step by step. Creating one's own combat technique was something only geniuses among geniuses could accomplish.
Now that the Ling YI Society had publicly announced that it would reward players with a combat technique's legacy, why wouldn't independent players yearn for it?
Not to mention, as long as they won the competition, not only would they obtain a combat technique, but they would also obtain a house of their own. As long as they set up a magic array in the house, it would not affect their daily leveling. On the contrary, they could even improve their strength through the Battle Arena.
This was killing two birds with one stone. Even if Wang Guozhan had to pay for it, it would still be worth it.
Meanwhile, in a bar on the second floor of Star-Moon City's Teleportation Hall, several cloaked players quietly observed the situation.
"The Ling YI Society is quite capable. They actually came up with such a method. They're even generously teaching combat techniques. Leader, if we allow the Ling YI Society to continue like this, we'll be going against the commander's orders. Shouldn't we take action?" An elegant female Assassin in a Black Cloak asked the refined male Elementalist before her with a smile.
If Shifeng were here, they would find this Elementalist very familiar. He was none other than Cleansed Maple, one of Miracle Society's peak experts.
"It is indeed time for us to take action. Those trashy Dark Players are no threat to Ling Yi's quest. Since we can't locate the Ling YI Society's upper echelons, let's start with their elite teams. However, Stone Forest Town is also a huge problem. Let's have the others disguise themselves as Dark Players and hunt down the players operating in Stone Forest Town. When the time comes, the Ling Yi experts will have no choice but to reveal themselves," Cleansed Maple said.
"What about the other top-tier guilds that are paying attention to Ling Yi?" The elegant female Assassin glanced at the several players in black cloaks gathered in the first-floor hall.
The Ling YI Society's performance in the Dark Arena was simply too dazzling.
This was especially true for their weapons and equipment. Hence, the Miracle Society wasn't the only top-tier power eyeing the weapons and equipment of Ling Yi's experts. After a period of investigation, the Miracle Society had discovered that three top-tier powers were eyeing Ling Yi's experts. However, to the Miracle Society, first-rate Guilds were no more than ants. They could not be considered competitors.
"It's fine. Many hands make light work. If necessary, release some information to them. In any case, our goal isn't the weapons and equipment. We just want to disband the Ling YI Society," Cleansed Maple said, chuckling nonchalantly.
Thousand Miles had already made it clear that he wanted people, not weapons and equipment. Naturally, it would be best if he could obtain them.
"Understood. I'll have them take action right away." The elegant female Assassin nodded. She then activated Stealth and disappeared from the bar as if she had never appeared.
"What a pity. It wasn't easy for a Guild to rise to prominence, yet it's going to disappear just like that. However, if you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being too eye-catching." A hint of pity flashed in Cleansed Maple's eyes as he looked at the information on the Ling YI Society in his hands.
The various top-tier powers had never been interested in small Guilds. They didn't even have any interest in first-rate Guilds. To them, these Guilds were not worth their time, not to mention assassinating them. Normally, they would only use such methods to deal with other top-tier powers.
Only, this time, the Ling YI Society had truly angered the Miracle Society.
Since the Ling YI Society refused to give them face, they had no choice but to make the Ling YI Society disappear.
…
Just as the incident in Stone Forest Town caused a commotion in Starmoon Kingdom and its neighboring kingdoms and empires, the Shifeng themselves had secretly arrived at Sea's End.
The Sea's End was like an independent empire. It rarely interacted with the kingdoms and empires on the continent.
The first reason was that the Sea's End was simply too far away. Just the teleportation fee alone cost 5 Silver Coins. Hence, the Shifeng had been surprised when they first met Passing Monarch from the Freedom Alliance. Of course, there was another way to save money and time, and that was to take a flying ship. It would only take 30 hours or so to reach the island closest to the Sea of Death. Moreover, the teleportation fee was very low, only 5 Silver Coins per person. However, many people did not wish to waste so much time.
The second reason was that the various kingdoms and empires had different attitudes toward Factions. The various kingdoms and empires on the continent had always been ruthless in their pursuit of Dark Forces. They were absolute enemies. However, the Sea's End was different. The Sea's End maintained a neutral stance. Hence, whether it was Dark Players or normal players, they would not be barred from entering the city due to their Red or Black Names. They would also not be captured by NPCs. As long as they did not cause trouble in the city, they would be fine.
The third reason was that the Sea's End's lifestyle was different. Players in the Sea's End had been engaged in naval warfare since birth. They would not be used to fighting the monsters on the continent. Similarly, players on the continent would not be used to naval warfare. Hence, players from both sides rarely interacted with each other. Only after mainstream players reached Level 100 in God's Domain would they gradually increase their interactions with each other.
Meanwhile, the city Shifeng teleported to was Blue Jade City, one of the Sea's End's twelve main cities. It was also one of the cities under the Freedom Alliance's control.
The management style of the Sea's End was different from that of the continent. There was no concept of a country in the Sea's End. It was more like a city-state. Each city was its own kingdom, and it managed a large sea region. Moreover, unlike the players on the continent, who could not fully control an NPC city no matter how hard they tried, Sea's End could.
