"Team Leader Yu Luo, there's a team ahead!"
A Level 102, Tier 2 Ranger reported to Yu Luo when he saw a group of blurry figures over 400 yards ahead.
The further one ventured into the tunnel, the more severely their visibility would be suppressed. Even Tier 3 players would only be able to see up to 400 yards away. Only some special classes could see slightly further than that.
"A returning team?" Yu Luo shouted through the team chat when she saw the approaching team. "Everyone, be careful! Keep your distance from these people! Don't misunderstand! We're not here to fight! "
There was only one path to the Molten Ruin's inner area, but it was easier to exit than enter. Before they had entered the inner area, only Shi Feng's team of five and Demon Palace's team had entered the inner area. It had been several hours since anyone had entered the inner area.
Now that they had reached this point, they had already passed most of the trial. Entering the inner corridor shouldn't be a problem. If other teams could reach this point, they'd definitely be able to reach the inner area.
The only teams returning to the inner area were those returning from the inner area.
Any team capable of reaching the inner area was no ordinary team. They must've gained something from the inner area. If they caused a misunderstanding, it could easily lead to unnecessary conflict.
The other superpowers' teams nodded in agreement and walked to the far left side of the tunnel. They didn't show any hostility or intention of snatching the inner area's loot. After all, no one wanted to start an unnecessary conflict here. There were plenty of treasures and opportunities waiting for them in the inner area. Moreover, the inner area was far more dangerous than the outer area. It was always good to preserve some strength.
However, as the two teams drew closer and closer to each other, Yu Luo and the others couldn't help but feel astonished and puzzled as they looked at these players.
After all, they were very familiar with the returning team.
Demon Palace!
Previously, practically every superpower had watched Demon Palace's team enter the tunnel with fear. Even Yu Luo had hurriedly joined forces with the other superpowers' teams to enter the tunnel.
Yet, Demon Palace's team had actually returned. Moreover, every one of them looked miserable. They had even lost nearly half of their Tier 3 players.
"How is this possible?!"
"Why are they returning?!"
"Did they fail to reach the end of the tunnel?!"
The various superpowers' members stared at Evil Qilin's group in shock, their hearts pounding.
They knew full well how powerful Demon Palace's team was. The team had 16 Tier 3 players and Evil Qilin, one of Dragonheart Island's top 10 experts. Demon Palace's team was even stronger than theirs.
But now, they were still on the way back, which made them wonder if they could pass through this passage.
The two superpowers' commanders couldn't help but turn to look at Yu Luo, their gazes filled with questions and doubt. Yu Luo had already told them that they had already passed the passage and that they wouldn't encounter any problems beyond this point. They could enter the inner corridor to search for treasures and opportunities without worry.
"Could it be that the difficulty of the second half of the passageway has changed?" Yu Luo was also at a loss for words.
According to the information provided by the team leader, there were only a few monsters and the Gatekeeper Boss left in the second half of the journey. After killing the Gatekeeper Boss, they could obtain the key to enter the inner corridor.
Meanwhile, the Gatekeeper Boss was only a Level 105 Grand Lord. Although the Gatekeeper Boss had slightly stronger Skills, it shouldn't be a problem for Demon Palace's members. Killing the Gatekeeper Boss should be child's play for Demon Palace's members.
While everyone was confused, Evil Qilin turned to look at Yu Luo, his frightening aura filling the area. Demon Palace's other Tier 3 experts also stared at Yu Luo, the atmosphere turning indescribably tense.
"Heaven's Blade did well! Very well! " Evil Qilin stared at Yu Luo, his voice low and cold. "I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to have such a powerful backer. The Demon King's Palace will accept this loss, but remember this: they won't be able to protect you for long. We don't know who will have the last laugh!"
After saying so, Evil Qilin turned and left, no longer bothering with Yu Luo's group. Demon Palace's other members also glared at Yu Luo's group before leaving with Evil Qilin.
After Evil Qilin's group left, the two superpowers' members couldn't help but turn to Yu Luo's group.
Although Evil Qilin hadn't said much, the information contained in his words was mind-blowing.
Shi Feng hadn't expected Heaven's Blade to have such a powerful backer. Moreover, this backer had even forced Demon Palace's members to retreat from the passageway. If news of this spread, all of Dragonheart Island would be shaken.
What was Demon Palace?
Not even the various superpowers dared to provoke Demon Palace.
Yet, Heaven's Blade's backer was actually capable of contending with Demon Palace. This proved just how frightening Heaven's Blade's backer was.
"Captain Yu Luo, you're too much. I never thought that Heaven's Blade had hidden its strength so deeply. It's no wonder why Commander Zwei and the others could enter the inner corridor while the other superpowers could only watch from the entrance."
"Captain Yu Luo, you really are amazing. You actually forced Demon Palace into such a predicament. May I know if you can introduce us to this backer? Perhaps we'll have a chance to work together in the future."
The two superpowers' commanders walked up to Yu Luo and asked her questions in a friendly manner, as if they were a family.
They were very curious about a superpower capable of contending with Demon Palace. Moreover, they wanted to know more about this superpower. They didn't want to risk their lives if they encountered such a superpower in the future.
After all, Heaven's Blade was a superpower that had forced Demon Palace into such a predicament. If they encountered such a superpower, their fates would be miserable.
"This … I don't know, either," Yu Luo replied, confused by the two superpowers' questions.
What was going on?
She had never heard of a superpower capable of contending with Demon Palace on Dragonheart Island.
Yu Luo's answer earned the two superpowers' commanders a disdainful look.
Act!
You're still acting?!
Evil Qilin had already exposed your lie. What was the point of denying it?
Evil Qilin, one of Demon Palace's Elders, had already explained that Heaven's Blade was Heaven's Blade's backer. As Heaven's Blade's Tier 3 player and Chief Healer, it would be strange if he didn't know about Heaven's Blade.
"It's true! I really don't know! "Yu Luo was at a loss for words when she saw the disbelief in the two superpowers' eyes.
If Heaven's Blade really had such a powerful backer, why would they bother rescuing Demon Palace?
Why would they risk entering the inner corridor?
The two superpowers' commanders didn't say anything else after hearing Yu Luo's denial. Instead, they ordered their subordinates to log out of the game and relay the news to their superiors.
The content of the message was simple.
Demon Palace had encountered a mysterious power in the Molten Ruin and retreated in defeat. Meanwhile, this mysterious power was Heaven's Blade's backer.
Moreover, they needed to investigate this mysterious power as soon as possible.
After the two superpowers reported the news, Heaven's Blade's members began to wonder when Heaven's Blade had gained such a powerful backer.
As for Evil Qilin lying to them?
That wasn't possible, nor was it necessary.
Nobody would advertise their defeat to Heaven's Blade for no reason. Unless Evil Qilin was tired of living, he wouldn't do such a thing.
"Could it be Thirteen Thrones' doing?" After thinking about it for some time, Yu Luo could only think of a Super Guild like Thirteen Thrones. Otherwise, she couldn't explain Demon Palace's retreat. However, after giving the matter some thought, she realized that something wasn't right. "Let's contact the commander. She might know something."
After saying so, Yu Luo had one of her Assassins log out of the game and relay the news to Zwei. After all, Heaven's Blade's retreat was fantastic news.
