Starmoon Kingdom, White River City:
As Shifeng walked out of the Teleportation Hall, he suddenly discovered that not only were there far fewer players on the street than before, but the way they looked at him, who wore a Black Cloak and wore the Ling Yi's Emblem, had also changed.
In the past, when the independent players on the street saw a player wearing the Ling Yi's Emblem, they would look at him with envy. Now, however, they looked at him with sympathy and pity.
This situation confused Shifeng.
He did not understand. He had only been away from White River City for a few days, yet this change was a little too drastic …
"What's going on here?"
Shifeng glanced at the crowd on the street. It wasn't just the independent players. Even the members of small Guilds passing by were sneering at him. It was as if the Ling YI Society was yesterday's flower.
This situation confused Shifeng. After all was said and done, the Ling YI Society was the publicly acknowledged number one Guild in the Starmoon Kingdom. Even if the Ling YI Society declared war on the Sky Burial Society, a small Guild's member in White River City shouldn't look down on it, right? Not to mention, he had previously taught the Sky Burial Society a lesson.
Without the income from Ancient Rock City, the Sky Burial Society's development potential and resources had plummeted. It could not compare to the current Ling YI Society.
"He's wearing the Bronze Ling Yi's Emblem. He should be an expert from the Ling YI Society, right? He actually has the time to wander around here."
"He probably ran back because he knows he can't win. After all, the Sky Burial Society is truly amazing this time. They actually have such heaven-defying means. The Ling YI Society will definitely fall. Now, the various large Guilds are in danger. The Sky Burial Society has also announced that anyone who dares to assist the Ling YI Society will die. If a Ling YI Society member leaves, the Ling Yi Society will not pursue the matter."
"That's right. Who would've thought that the Sky Burial Society would seal off the entire Stoneclaw Mountains map? It's completely isolated from the outside world. Even Return Scrolls can't be used to communicate with the outside world. The Sky Burial Society has trapped everyone inside and can kill them however they want. Moreover, there's only one path to enter the map. However, that path is easy to enter, but difficult to exit. I've heard that there's a large army of Evil Demons guarding the path.
"It's been seven hours since the Stoneclaw Mountains map was sealed. With the Sky Burial Society's strength, they should be able to capture Stone Forest Town in the Stoneclaw Mountains very soon."
"I don't know. However, the Ling YI Society has dispatched plenty of experts to reinforce the town. Even now, there hasn't been any news from them. According to the information leaked by some players who logged off in Stone Forest Town, it seems that the battle between the Ling YI Society and the Sky Burial Society is very intense. Both sides have suffered losses. However, the Ling YI Society's members are still unable to break through the path's entrance. On the other hand, the Sky Burial Society's members are increasing in number. Even the Evil Demons are increasing in number."
"The Sky Burial Society's methods are simply amazing. If they can't send any news from the inside, they won't be able to mobilize the kingdom's army to assist them. If they try to enter the map from the outside world, they'll only be sending themselves to their deaths. If the Sky Burial Society wants to, they can kill their enemies as many times as they want. They won't be able to escape unless they log off. However, if they do that, not only will they be punished, but they'll also lose Stone Forest Town."
…
The players resting on the street discussed the situation with Shifeng. They were filled with admiration for the Sky Burial Society's methods. Although the Ling YI Society was already very powerful, at the end of the day, the Sky Burial Society was still superior. With such methods, nobody in the Starmoon Kingdom would dare to disobey them.
If they did not submit, they would be truly ruthless. They might even kill their way back to Level 0. After all, they wouldn't be able to leave the sealed space.
"They sealed the Stoneclaw Mountains?" Shifeng could not help his surprise.
He had seen map seals in the past. However, it was extremely difficult to completely isolate a map from the outside world. At the very least, he had no means of accomplishing such a feat right now.
In the past, only superpowers would use such methods to deal with apex experts or major cities. Otherwise, with the strength of apex experts, even if they could not defeat the superpowers, they could always find a way to escape. It was even more so when dealing with major cities. A city's Defense was already very high. If the city also had reinforcements or allies, it would be impossible to break through the city's defenses unless the superpowers possessed overwhelming strength.
Thinking up to this point, Shifeng turned and entered the Teleportation Hall without hesitation. He then teleported to Star-Moon City and hurried to Stone Forest Town.
Meanwhile, inside the Stoneclaw Mountains, the sky had already darkened. Evil Energy enveloped the sealed space. Even if players did nothing, they would feel their Stamina and Concentration depleted. Their minds had also become somewhat sluggish.
In contrast, the Evil Demons here were like fish in water. Whether it was their movements or intellect, they had all received a boost. Even their Basic Attributes had improved slightly.
Atop Stone Forest Town's walls, Shiuse Qiangwei's expression darkened as he watched the growing army of players and Evil Demons gather outside the town's walls.
At this moment, a Level 50 Ranger in blue clothes approached Aqua Rose and quietly reported, "Guild Leader Aqua, according to our scouts, another player army has arrived at the sealed entrance. By the looks of it, they seem to be members of Blackwater. There are roughly 20,000 players in this army, and over 6,000 of them are Level 49 or above experts. They've also brought eight siege weapons, Catapults."
"Six thousand experts and eight Catapults?" Shiuse Qiangwei's expression darkened when he heard this.
Even now, Ling Yi only had around 100,000 members guarding Stone Forest Town. She had brought a majority of them with her to reinforce Stone Forest Town.
Meanwhile, the Sky Burial Society had over 300,000 members. Although there were only around 160,000 or 170,000 elite players, the remaining players were not to be underestimated. At the very least, they were all Level 45 or above players.
Not to mention, there was also a large army of Evil Demons behind the Sky Burial Society. Based on a rough estimate, there were at least 100,000 of these Evil Demons. Moreover, their numbers continued to increase. Only, these Evil Demons were relatively weak. Most of them were around Level 45, and some were only Elites. However, as these Evil Demons continued to devour the monsters in the Stoneclaw Mountains, they grew stronger.
Currently, the Sky Burial Society had not launched an attack on Stone Forest Town because it was accumulating strength.
Although she had led a large number of experts to attack the exit multiple times in an attempt to spread the news and notify the kingdom's army to annihilate the Evil Demon army, the Sky Burial Society and the Evil Demons guarding the exit had repelled her every attempt.
The Evil Demons guarding the exit were simply too powerful. There was even a Mythic ranked Evil Demon among them. Even Fire Dance, who had the highest chance of escaping, had been killed in just a few hits. She had not even been able to put up a fight …
Now that Blackwater had also dispatched 6,000 experts and eight Catapults, the Sky Burial Society's ability to siege Stone Forest Town had undoubtedly improved.
Although she wanted nothing more than to charge out of Stone Forest Town and destroy the eight Catapults Blackwater had brought, the Evil Demon army would attack them as soon as they left Stone Forest Town. At that time, they would become food for the Evil Demon army, which would allow Heaven's Burial to capture Stone Forest Town.
"Hahaha! Guild Leader Aqua, I advise you to give up! Stone Forest Town is mine! Moreover, not just Stone Forest Town, but Ling Yi City as well! Don't make a mistake! If you wait for my Evil Demon army to charge into the town, you'll be doomed! Moreover, you won't be able to leave the Stoneclaw Mountains from here! You'll only get killed again and again! You might as well surrender and leave the Ling YI Society!" Singular Burial shouted as he looked at the Shiuse Qiangwei on the town's walls. Through a voice amplification tool, he continued, "I won't hide this from you. Blackwater's army and a new batch of Evil Demons are already on their way here! Once they arrive, not even God will be able to save you!"
Hearing Singular Burial's words, Stone Forest Town's members fell silent, their expressions grim.
"Are we doomed, just like that?"
After all, it was just as Singular Burial had said. All they could do was wait for their deaths …
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the sky. A deep voice then echoed throughout Stone Forest Town and the Sky Burial Society's army, leaving a deep impression in their minds.
