Inside Twilight Echo's Guild Leader's office … Due to the sudden report from Nature Hall, the dozen or so Twilight Echo upper echelons fell silent for a long time.
"Nature Hall has given up? How is that possible? "
"What did Ling Yi's people do?"
The Guild upper echelons were still in a daze when they heard the sudden news.
Nature Hall wanted to use Twilight Echo as an example to stabilize its rule in the Storm Empire and expand its influence abroad. Nature Hall had no intention of letting Twilight Echo off the hook.
Originally, they had been discussing how to withdraw safely from the Storm Empire and how to fend off Nature Hall's attacks. However, after a long discussion, they had fallen into despair. The difference between the two sides was simply too massive. Nature Hall only needed to mobilize a small portion of its strength to eliminate Twilight Echo from God's Domain.
Even with Ling Yi's help, they didn't think they could deal with Nature Hall. After all, Ling Yi was only a first-rate Guild.
Yet, Nature Hall had given up on Twilight Echo because of Ling Yi.
They simply couldn't understand how Ling Yi had done it.
Background?
A trade?
Although they had considered all possibilities, none of them were reliable or plausible. Yet, Ling Yi had done it.
At this moment, Dark Wave, the Guild Leader of Twilight Echo, stared at Shiuse Qiangwei in astonishment.
When Violet Cloud had told Owl Life that Ling Yi wanted to protect Twilight Echo, Dark Wave had only assumed that Ling Yi was expressing her stance toward Nature Hall. He hadn't believed that Ling Yi had the ability to protect Twilight Echo. However, it would seem that Violet Cloud's words were true.
She was talking about the Storm Empire's overlord!
Although he didn't know how Ling Yi had stopped Nature Hall, the fact that she had stopped the Storm Empire was proof of her strength.
When Shiuse Qiangwei had left Twilight Echo to join an insignificant Guild in a small kingdom, many people had secretly laughed at Shiuse Qiangwei. They had thought that Shiuse Qiangwei was a fool. If he hadn't been so stubborn, he wouldn't have been stripped of his position as an Honorary Elder and given up on a bright future.
Twilight Echo was a veteran first-rate Guild that had been developing for several decades. A small Guild without a background couldn't compare to it.
Who would've thought that Ling Yi, Shiuse Qiangwei, would develop to such an extent?
Not only was Ling Yi the overlord of Starmoon Kingdom, but she also had the strength to rival first-rate Guild. Now, she had even saved Twilight Echo and forced Nature Hall to abandon its plans plans. Dark Wave's Dark Wave. Even Dark Wave's current Leader had no idea how powerful Ling Yi's strength was.
Now, Ling Yi's name's Light's heard heard News to the Elders's to Guild Voice's. Now, Echo ''s Leader's Leader leader Leader's Light, Leader's Leader Leader's Zero's. Dark Echo's Zero''s Guild's members members members members members members had time was due due due due due Due. Because Echo Guild's Say.'s Dark Echo's Dark's s Time. s.
Dark Wave wasn't the only one with such thoughts. The Guild's upper echelons present in the meeting room had the same thought. Now, they all looked at Shiuse Qiangwei in a different light.
At this moment, Shiuse Qiangwei was both happy and shocked. He had never thought that Shifeng would actually stop Nature Hall.
Afterward, Violet Cloud relayed Shifeng's message to Twilight Echo. As long as Twilight Echo withdrew from the Storm Empire, Nature Hall wouldn't take any further action. She then led her subordinates away from Twilight Echo and returned to the Starmoon Kingdom. As for Shiuse Qiangwei, he still had some matters to attend to in Twilight Echo, so he planned to remain in the Guild for the time being.
Twilight Echo's upper echelons also hoped that Shiuse Qiangwei would stay for the time being.
Although Twilight Echo had to leave the Storm Empire to develop in another kingdom and face the overlords of those kingdoms, it would have a much easier time establishing a foothold in other kingdoms if it could rely on Zero Wing.
Meanwhile, news of Nature Hall's actions quickly reached the ears of many of God's Domain's superpowers. Nature Hall was one of the superpowers, after all. Even if it was only giving up on dealing with Twilight Echo, these superpowers would, more or less, pay attention.
Ore Empire, Crimson Flame Fortress:
"I really don't know what's wrong with Nature Hall. It's actually giving up on stabilizing the Storm Empire for Ling Yi's sake. Did Ling Yi offer Nature Hall a huge benefit?" Jing Yang, who stood in his Vice Guild Leader's office, could not help but wonder as he read the message he had just received.
Nature Hall had been developing rapidly recently. It was no exaggeration to say that it ranked among the top ten among the various up-and-coming superpowers. Many super-first-rate Guilds felt threatened by Nature Hall.
Yet, Nature Hall had decided to give up on its original plan for Ling Yi's sake. It was truly surprising.
"Not bad. Ling Yi is quite capable to force Nature Hall to change its plans. It's no wonder why he dared to refuse my cooperation," Xuanwu Chisha said, smiling faintly.
"Vice Guild Leader, you overestimate Ling Yi. Although I don't know what benefits Ling Yi offered Nature Hall to resolve this matter, the situation in White River City isn't so easy to deal with. Aside from the fact that several major powers have set their sights on the city's Auction House, Ling Yi has plenty of problems to deal with," Jing Yang said, sneering. "Recently, Starlink has used a lot of its funds to stop Ling Yi. It's even offered three times as much to poach Ling Yi's upper echelons and core members. At the same time, it's also trying to steal players' commission quests. Ling Yi's funds are becoming increasingly problematic. I'm afraid that Ling Yi will collapse in less than a month."
There were both advantages and disadvantages to a Guild's growth. When a Guild had fewer members, it would have an easier time dealing with its funds. However, once a Guild had more members, it would have to spend more money. Not to mention, if a Guild was attacked by corporations, it would become even more troublesome.
Hence, although Ling Yi Society seemed to have grown stronger, it also had more weaknesses.
In the past, Ling Yi had been so small that the Guild hadn't even had a proper headquarters. It hadn't even been able to nurture a large number of its own experts. As a result, the various corporations' attempts to stop the Guild had been pointless. However, things were different now. Not only had the Guild taken over Ouroboros's former headquarters, but it had also developed into a much larger Guild. Now, the Guild's monthly expenses were dozens of times higher than before.
This was also why the various first-rate Guilds were so afraid of the various superpowers. Not only did the various first-rate Guilds possess overwhelming strength, but they could also crush the various superpowers financially. In contrast, the various top adventurer teams weren't afraid of the various superpowers.
Meanwhile, in Starmoon Kingdom's White River City, Shifeng had Fire Dance and the others raid Team Dungeons and collect as many Epic materials as possible to prepare for the upcoming Auction House.
