After Halfstep Victor respectfully entered the tent, Shifeng followed suit. However, he was also curious about the situation.
Just who was this acquaintance that could accomplish such a feat?
After all was said and done, Halfstep Victor was a Domain Realm expert. Even a superpower's Guild Leader would have to treat him with respect. Not to mention, the sea was a place that superpowers would have a hard time interfering with.
Transportation was extremely inconvenient, and the sea's environment was dangerous. The sea's vastness made it impossible for players to exert as much control as they did on land.
In addition, the sea was where the various superpowers converged. The competition in the sea was far more intense than on land. Even Melancholy, Thirteen Thrones' Guild Leader, wouldn't have a chance. After all, every expert had their own pride. It was especially true for an expert like Halfstep Victor. In the sea, he was like the king of a mountain.
If Halfstep Victor gave Halfstep Victor face and called him Guild Leader, what could Halfstep Victor do if he didn't?
In the past, many experts that had clashed with the various superpowers had chosen to hide out at sea, rendering the various superpowers helpless. They weren't difficult to locate, but they'd have to pay a hefty price to do so. In addition, the various superpowers didn't get along well with each other, resulting in constant skirmishes. As a result, the sea had become an uncontrollable place.
While Shifeng wondered who possessed such power, Halfstep Victor led Shifeng's group into the tent's main hall.
Although the Bronze Tent only had three floors and didn't take up much space, the interior was much more spacious. It was as if a miniature world had been compressed by magic. The interior of the Bronze Tent's main hall was a dazzling sight.
Over a dozen Level 80 experts stood on either side of the hall. Many of these experts wore Epic Equipment, ranging from two to five pieces. Even the weakest among these experts had reached the Void Realm. They also radiated a frightening aura that was different from that of humans. If they weren't Bloodline Creatures, then they must have obtained an Advanced Legacy of the sea.
When these experts looked at Shifeng's group, even an expert like Swimming Dragon felt his hair stand on end. He couldn't help but lower his head, not daring to meet their gazes.
Only Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo remained relatively calm. Blue Bamboo, on the other hand, had paled due to the frightening aura these experts radiated.
Even Shifeng couldn't help but be astonished by such a powerful lineup.
If these experts wanted to kill Half-step Victor, it would be as easy as playing a game. Even if it was him, if he didn't use his trump card, he would probably be left here.
This was because he had discovered a total of six Domain Realm experts among this group of players. Two of them were even more powerful than the other two. However, due to the special tools they wore and the black fog shrouding their faces, he couldn't tell who they were. He couldn't even see their levels.
There were also three people in the hall, two men and one woman. One of the men was old and the other was young. The woman was young and beautiful, causing the Shifeng to be surprised.
The young man and woman among them were indeed familiar faces.
The young man was none other than Lu Xingluo, and the young and beautiful woman was Happy Art.
"Elder Wu, I've brought him here." Half-step Victor looked at the white-haired old man sitting on the throne. It was as if he was reporting to a subordinate. He was indescribably respectful.
The old man didn't have the frightening aura of a powerhouse. On the contrary, his aura was vague, as if he already had one foot in the grave. Moreover, he was only Level 79. He couldn't compare to the other players in the hall.
Shifeng didn't recognize this old man at all. He didn't even have any information about the old man. However, Shifeng could tell that Half-step Victor respected and feared this old man from the bottom of his heart.
"You may leave," Elder Wu said, nodding.
Hearing Elder Wu's words, Half-step Victor bowed and left. He didn't seem like a powerhouse from the Sea of Death at all. Meanwhile, Swimming Dragon, who stood beside Elder Wu, was stupefied.
As far as he knew, even if Half-step Victor didn't stand on equal footing with the various superpowers' Guild Leaders, these Guild Leaders should at least treat him with respect, yet …
While Swimming Dragon wondered who the old man on the throne was, the old man shifted his gaze to Shifeng. The old man's deep gaze seemed capable of seeing through everything in the world. Even with his current cultivation realm, Shifeng couldn't help but feel a hint of fear when he looked at the old man.
"Sure enough, heroes come from the young. It's no wonder Little Li thinks so highly of you," Elder Wu said, chuckling.
"Little Li?" Suddenly, Shifeng thought of Melancholy. Confused, he asked, "Is he young?"
Melancholy might be young in God's Domain, but that was only his appearance. In reality, he should be over 50 years old. Even if Melancholy was young, he should be an old man. Moreover, Melancholy was Thirteen Thrones' Guild Leader, and he had been in charge of the Guild for over two decades. Who would dare call him young?
"Big Brother Hei Yan, Elder Wu is Thirteen Thrones' largest shareholder. He is also one of the Guild's founders. He has been away from worldly affairs for many years. Even our Guild Leader is two generations younger than Elder Wu," Happy Art whispered to Shifeng when she noticed his confusion.
Shifeng was surprised to hear Happy Art's explanation.
Thirteen Thrones had existed for nearly a century, and it had only become a Super Guild with the support of two major corporations. In other words, Elder Wu was over 100 years old.
Even with the Guild's resources, it would be unbelievable for a century-old man to reach Level 79 in God's Domain.
While one's physical body in God's Domain wasn't related to the physical body in the real world, a century-old man's mental state wasn't as good as a youngster's.
If Elder Wu could keep up with current peak experts at such a level, Shifeng couldn't imagine how strong Elder Wu had been in his youth.
"May I know why Elder Wu has sought me out?" Shifeng asked after calming himself down.
He wasn't familiar with Elder Wu, yet the old man had summoned him for no reason.
"Young people sure are smart." Elder Wu nodded. Smiling, he continued, "I've already heard about you from Little Li, so I'll get straight to the point. Ling Yi won't participate in the crusade against the Gravity Mountain Range's fortress. If you want to know why, the reason is simple. The crusade involves some of Thirteen Thrones' most important secrets.
"However, Little Li promised you that as compensation, I'll give you a teleportation stone to enter the Tower of Four Gods. The Tower of Four Gods is a tower of eternity that has existed since before the Great Destruction. Rumor has it that there are countless opportunities within. Even the founders of some of the current empires were able to establish their current empires after entering the Tower of Four Gods. Take the Orc Empire beside your Star-Moon Kingdom for example. Back then, the First Orc Emperor obtained power after entering the Tower of Four Gods. He unified the surrounding Orc Clans and founded the Orc Empire.
"One teleportation stone can send two people to the Tower of Four Gods. I won't care who you bring with you."
Realization dawned on Shifeng when he heard Elder Wu's words.
He had never heard of Dragonheart Island connecting to the western continent in the past. Teleportation between continents wasn't that easy, after all. Most likely, it was just a rumor. Moreover, the various superpowers had kept the matter a secret.
Although the teleportation stone wasn't a teleportation stone to the western continent, it was a teleportation stone to the Tower of Four Gods. It wasn't much less valuable than a teleportation stone to the western continent.
Just as Elder Wu had said, the Tower of Four Gods was a very powerful place. To be precise, it was a land of Gods. Every teleportation stone that could be used to enter the Tower of Four Gods was incomparably valuable, rivaling an Epic item.
"What do you think?" Elder Wu asked softly.
Elder Wu's words carried a lot of weight in Thirteen Thrones. Even Melancholy, Thirteen Thrones' Guild Leader, dared not casually oppose Elder Wu.
Lu Xingluo inwardly sneered as he looked at Shifeng.
"The higher-ups might not allow me to touch you, but they didn't say I couldn't hinder your development. You'll have to wait another 100 years before you can enter Dragonheart Island through Thirteen Thrones!"
At the end of the day, Thirteen Thrones was a Super Guild. Although Melancholy was interested in Shifeng, Melancholy wasn't the only person in Thirteen Thrones with authority.
Although Lu Xingluo had allowed the Shifeng to obtain a teleportation stone to the Tower of Four Gods, the Tower of Four Gods wasn't an easy place to enter. Furthermore, the Shifeng only had one teleportation stone.
While Lu Xingluo was feeling smug, Shifeng suddenly spoke up.
