There were plenty of experts in the dazzling Auction Arena, and many of them were the various major powers' pillars of support. There were even plenty of peak experts from the various superpowers.
However, when Starlink's group of players entered the Auction Arena, everyone gasped as they felt an intense pressure weigh down on them. It was as if these players weren't players at all, but Great Lords that radiated overwhelming auras. They couldn't even muster the will to resist.
Meanwhile, the dozen or so players leading the way made the experts in the Auction Arena feel even more afraid of death.
"Why are they here?"
Deep Thunder, who had been on good terms with Ling Yi, paled when he saw these players, shock and fear flashing in his eyes.
"Grandfather, who are they? Why do I feel as if the other superpowers' peak experts are afraid of them? "Mu Lingsha asked in confusion as she looked at the spectating superpowers' experts.
While it was true that these players were very strong, every superpower in the Auction Arena was a part of it.
Even if there was a difference in strength between the various superpowers' peak experts and the Auction Arena's peak experts, they shouldn't be afraid of the other superpowers' peak experts, yet they were displaying such fear on their faces.
This was especially true for her grandfather, Mu Cheng. His title as the Thousand Hands was no laughing matter. He was a bona fide Domain Realm expert. Although his body was frail and his age limited his combat standards, he should have no problems dealing with peak experts. Yet, when Shi Feng saw the dozen or so people leading the Thousand Hands team, they actually performed as if they were peak experts from other superpowers.
Mu Lingsha couldn't believe her eyes.
"Ling Yi has no chance of winning White River City's contest," Mu Cheng muttered, smiling bitterly as he looked at Starlink's group.
With Nature Hall's help and his old man's reputation in the outside world, Mu Cheng believed that he should be able to protect Ling Yi's White River City. The various superpowers had their own important NPC cities, after all, and they couldn't afford to spare too much manpower. However, he had still underestimated Starlink's attitude toward Ling Yi.
"Are they really that strong?" Mu Lingsha was even more surprised when she heard Mu Cheng's assertion.
"They're not just strong! Even veteran Super Guilds like Battle Wolves and Sanctuary of the Holy Church might lose if they don't take them seriously! " Mu Cheng said as he looked at the four white-haired men. "Although I knew that Starlink was hiding extraordinary strength, I never thought that it would be so capable. It even managed to invite the Four Shadow Demons, who have disappeared for many years. I'm afraid that Unyielding Soul will have a hard time against them."
"The Four Shadow Demons?" After pondering for a moment, Mu Lingsha was shocked. "Could it be those four lunatics who stirred up the various superpowers?"
The Four Shadow Demons had become famous more than ten years ago. These four people were not a group, and they did not know each other. They all acted on their own and acted alone.
The reason why these four were known as the Four Shadow Demons was because they had provoked the various superpowers in the past and killed countless experts. Many of Unyielding Soul's experts had also been killed. In addition, many of Unyielding Soul's peak experts had been among the Four Shadow Demons.
Every one of these people was like a demon. Moreover, all four were independent players. They came and went without a trace, making it difficult for the various superpowers to surround them. In fact, the various superpowers had suffered significant losses.
Back then, this incident had caused a huge commotion, becoming the hottest topic of discussion. Hence, the Secret Pavilion had named these four players the Four Shadow Demons, their names echoing throughout the virtual gaming world.
The various superpowers had always had a headache dealing with these powerful yet helpless madmen.
Now that these four madmen had gathered together, one could easily imagine how frightening this situation was …
Meanwhile, in one of the top-floor VIP viewing rooms, over a hundred players wearing Blackwater's Insignia calmly watched the battle unfold. The middle-aged man leading this group of players wore a determined expression as he looked at Shi Feng, a smile appearing on his face.
If the Shifeng were here, he'd recognize this middle-aged man as Jing Yang, Blackwater's representative, who had visited Ling Yi's headquarters earlier.
"Sure enough, as Vice Guild Leader guessed, Starlink has long since recruited these four old ghosts," Jing Yang said, chuckling. "Ling Yi probably never imagined something like this would happen."
"Should we take action now, then?" Snow Scar asked calmly as he glanced at the Shifeng.
"No, it's still too early. Let's wait until the competition officially begins. When Ling Yi feels despair, we'll make the offer. At that time, even if we don't say anything, Ling Yi will kneel and beg for the Combat Puppet," Jing Yang said, chuckling.
While everyone was surprised by the appearance of the Four Shadow Demons, the atmosphere in the venue changed completely.
Previously, Ling Yi had been the center of attention. After all, he had the support of two superpowers and possessed limitless potential. Now, however, nobody thought so anymore.
"Ling Yi's path has come to an end. Melody, you should give up. I'm afraid that Ling Yi won't be able to support Ninth Heaven forever. Only Setting Sun can ensure Ninth Heaven's prosperity in Forest City," a middle-aged, Eight-winged, Eight-winged youth said, smiling. "Zero Wing might be capable of dealing with the Death God Workshop, but it can't even protect itself right now. How can it possibly help you?" a young, elegant Half-elf man with pointy ears asked, chuckling as he sat in one of the second-floor spectator rooms.
"Don't think that Starlink only has the Four Shadow Demons. The dozen or so players around the Four Shadow Demons are extraordinary as well. Take that blue-clad Swordsman for example. He has the title of Illusory Swordsman. His combat standards are on par with Miracle Dragon's. There's also that tall Shield Warrior named Mist Horn. He's no weaker than Cuttlefish, Crimson Emperor's Ironarmed Giant.
"Every one of these players is a peak expert. Moreover, every one of them has Epic Equipment and Weapons bestowed by Starlink. Setting aside Starlink's bountiful resources, these players are strong enough to put a super-first-rate Guild like Unyielding Soul into a difficult fight, not to mention Zero Wing."
"Is this really the end for Ling Yi?" Melody stared at the Shifeng. She couldn't find the words to refute him. After all, the Half-elf was right.
Even if Ling Yi had the support of a superpower, he was still no match for a true superpower.
In contrast to Melody's despair, Sky View, the former Guild Leader of Warring Empire, was ecstatic.
"Hei Yan, so what if you have two superpowers backing you? In the end, you still have to watch White River City fall into someone else's hands! "Sky View could not help but laugh.
Previously, he had watched as one major character after another rose up behind Ling Yi. When Ling Yi had become a future powerhouse, he could only sigh at his own powerlessness.
However, who would've thought that things would take a turn for the worse?
No matter how glorious Ling Yi had been, in the end, he was still an ant in God's Domain's game of chess.
