Shifeng's indifferent words echoed throughout the reception hall. Meanwhile, Nature Manifestation's expression grew uglier by the second. He even started to panic. Nature Hall's members were stupefied.
Guild Leader Nature Manifestation was an extraordinary existence.
He stood at the apex of the Storm Empire. With a single word, he could decide the fate of the empire's various large Guilds. He was also a peak expert. In the future, he could lead Nature Hall to become an overlord in God's Domain.
But now …
Nature Hall's members weren't the only ones surprised by Shi Feng's words. Fire Dance and the others were just as surprised. Nature Manifestation hadn't panicked when Shi Feng had captured him, but now, he was afraid of the Swordsman after hearing a few words.
How could such a thing not be surprising?
"What do you want?" Nature Manifestation asked as he looked at Xiang Shifeng fearfully.
Nature Manifestation had only viewed Shifeng as a Domain Realm expert. Now that Shifeng had revealed that he was Thunder Axe City's founder and that he possessed the Thunder Axe Crystal, the Shifeng had truly become a monster that could threaten Nature Hall's existence.
No one knew about Thunder Axe City yet. Even in Nature Hall, only the Guild's upper echelons and the experts Nature Hall had dispatched to Thunder Axe City knew about it.
Based on their understanding, Thunder Axe City had already been active for over a dozen days. Meanwhile, the various superpowers had only discovered the city eight or nine days ago.
When Nature Manifestation thought about how Shifeng could use the Thunder Axe Crystal to teleport a large number of players to Thunder Axe City, they shuddered involuntarily.
Epic resources were the main focus of the Auction Arena's contest, with experts supporting them.
Shifeng and the others had already displayed frightening combat power. If they included the abundant Epic resources, they would be a massive threat to Nature Hall. This was especially true for the first Auction House contest.
Deep Thunder, Jade Qilin, and the other Guild upper echelons stared at Shifeng in horror.
Nature Hall had been ecstatic that they had finally sent 300 experts to Thunder Axe City, but now, Shifeng had been the one to activate the city …
"If Nature Hall is so powerful, what can we, Ling Yi, do?" Shifeng chuckled. Calmly, he said, "We're only here to ask if Twilight Echo can safely withdraw from the Storm Empire. Guild Leader Nature, please don't overthink things."
Nature Manifestation rolled his eyes at the Shifeng before gritting his teeth and saying, "Fine. Out of respect for Ling Yi, I'll put an end to the matter with Twilight Echo. As long as Twilight Echo leaves the Storm Empire, Nature Hall will no longer target Twilight Echo."
Against Ling Yi and Fire Dance, who had activated Thunder Axe City long ago, even Nature Hall wasn't confident of defending Storm City. After all, Thunder Axe City contained a frightening amount of Epic resources.
If they lost Storm City's Auction House, it would have a massive impact on Nature Hall. Moreover, even if Ling Yi couldn't take Nature Hall's Auction House, it would affect Nature Hall's plans to take over other cities' Auction Houses.
As the Guild Leader of Nature Hall, Nature Hall couldn't afford to ruin Nature Hall's future development over something as trivial as Twilight Echo. Moreover, he had a feeling that Ling Yi had more trump cards than this. Of course, this was only his guess. After all, the fact that Ling Yi had activated Thunder Axe City was shocking enough. He couldn't think of anything more important than this.
When Nature Hall's members heard Nature Manifestation's words, their jaws dropped. They couldn't believe that the man had actually said such a thing.
"Just who is this Hei Yan?"
For a time, everyone was curious about the Shifeng. With just a few words, he had convinced Nature Hall's Guild Leader to compromise. If news of this spread to the Storm Empire, no one would believe it.
After all, even the Nine-star Family, a super-first-rate Guild, had been chased out of the Storm Empire. How could a Guild in a kingdom possibly force Nature Hall's Guild Leader to submit?
"Guild Leader Nature sure is open-minded. If there's nothing else, we'll be taking our leave," Shifeng said, smiling. He then stood up and led Fire Dance and the others out of the messy reception room.
As for the competition for Storm City's Auction House, Shifeng had never considered it. He had only intended to intimidate Nature Hall.
Currently, White River City had plenty of matters to attend to. With Ling Yi's current experts and resources, he could only compete for one Auction House. Only, Nature Hall didn't know about this.
Although Thunder Axe City had plenty of Epic resources, it had only been open for a dozen or so days. Currently, too few players had gathered there. Hence, Nature Hall couldn't display the city's full potential. Moreover, Nature Hall placed too much importance on the identity of the person who had activated Thunder Axe City. He didn't know that even with a 2-star Smithy, the Epic resources he could collect from Thunder Axe City couldn't compare to the Guild's daily Team Dungeons.
If Nature Hall found out about this, he'd definitely vomit blood and fight Ling Yi to the bitter end.
As Shifeng led Fire Dance out of the reception room, the Nature Hall members guarding the entrance stepped aside at Nature Hall's signal, allowing Shifeng's group to leave.
Only after Shifeng's group had left the Guild Hall did Jade Qilin and the others turn to Nature Hall.
"Guild Leader, are we really going to abandon Twilight Echo?" Jade Qilin asked. "This matter will spread throughout the Storm Empire."
"So be it. We can't keep this matter under wraps, anyway," Nature Hall said, rubbing his temples. Rubbing his temples, Nature Manifestation said in frustration. "I never thought that Zero Wing would be the one to activate Thunder Axe City. I'm afraid that God's Domain will be in trouble for a while. You should start preparing now."
"Understood!" Jade Qilin nodded. She understood the implications of Nature Hall's decision.
Originally, she had thought that the first Auction House contest was a game for the various superpowers. Now that Ling Yi had appeared, the various superpowers' plans would be disrupted.
Most likely, nobody could've imagined that Ling Yi would change God's Domain's current situation.
Once the Shifeng's group left Storm City, the Storm Empire's various superpowers began to infiltrate the Nature Hall. Very quickly, news of the Nature Hall giving up on Twilight Echo reached the empire's various superpowers.
"What? Nature Hall gave up on Twilight Echo? How is that possible? "
"Just who is Ling Yi?"
For a time, the entire Storm Empire was in an uproar.
Nature Hall had actually announced that it would give up on targeting Twilight Echo because of Ling Yi's Guild. Everyone was curious about Ling Yi's Guild.
Meanwhile, news of Twilight Echo's current location quickly spread to Windy City.
