With Elder Wu's group's arrival, the originally deathly silent atmosphere grew tense once more.
"Commander, this is bad. That Elder Wu actually made a personal trip." Prison Tiger's expression darkened when he saw Elder Wu and Thirteen Thrones' experts standing in two neat rows.
Every member of Thirteen Thrones' team was Tier 3, and they had more members than War Blood's and Heaven's Burial's forces combined. This was a clear display of a Super Guild's strength.
Most likely, every major power on Dragonheart Island had heard of Elder Wu. After all, Elder Wu was a true Grand Elder and major shareholder of Thirteen Thrones. He had witnessed the Super Guild's growth, and even Heaven's Burial's current Guild Leader had to obey Elder Wu in certain aspects.
Elder Wu was one of Thirteen Thrones' true authoritative figures.
Elder Wu's words were even more important on Dragonheart Island. Not even Thirteen Thrones' Guild Leader could interfere.
This time, Heaven's Blade had no choice but to make a deal with Thirteen Thrones to protect itself.
Of course, this deal had been agreed upon beforehand. Whoever arrived first would get the Tree of Life's main branch. However, now that Elder Wu had made a personal trip to Heaven's Blade, things had become much more complicated.
"Regardless of who they sent, a deal is a deal," Violet Myrtle said calmly. She didn't seem affected by Elder Wu's group's appearance at all. "We have no choice but to waste Thirteen Thrones' trip this time."
Crape Myrtle's words made everyone in Heaven's Blade admire and respect him.
Violet Myrtle's strength and absolute justice had been the reason they had wanted to join Heaven's Blade. However, this situation had also given them a headache.
Thirteen Thrones was a Super Guild.
Thirteen Thrones wouldn't be able to accept the fact that they had mobilized so many people to come here and return empty-handed. Furthermore, Elder Wu was the one leading the team this time.
If things went wrong, Thirteen Thrones might even annihilate them all.
Meanwhile, when Blood Oath saw Thirteen Thrones' arrival, a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Good! I want to see what Ling Yi's group can do! " Blood Oath's gaze Shifeng involuntarily shifted to Violet Myrtle's group. Even ordinary people could sense his excitement.
He was very familiar with the agreement between Heaven's Blade and Thirteen Thrones.
If they had encountered Thirteen Thrones before Ling Yi's arrival, War Blood would've fallen into despair.
This was evident from the fact that Thirteen Thrones had dispatched over 50 Tier 3 players to Zero Wing.
Moreover, there were two of Elder Wu's right-hand men in this team. They were none other than the man and woman behind Elder Wu, their faces shrouded in mist. Although these two hadn't made much of a name for themselves on Dragonheart Island, Shi Feng had secretly investigated them. Based on his knowledge, they should rank among the top 10 on Dragonheart Island.
This was because the two of them had secretly fought Evil Qilin from the Demon King's Palace, and they were evenly matched.
With these two experts and 50 Tier 3 experts, they could do whatever they wanted on Dragonheart Island. Most likely, not even the teams of the three peerless monsters would be willing to clash with them.
Now that Thirteen Thrones had appeared, not only would they not become War Blood's enemy, but they would also become their greatest ally.
Unless the Shifeng were willing to give up the Tree of Life's main branch, the only thing awaiting the Shifeng would be Thirteen Thrones' punishment. Shi Feng didn't mind lending Thirteen Thrones a hand.
While Heaven's Blade and War Blood were discussing this matter, Elder Wu and the others, who had emerged from the inner corridor, had a clear understanding of the situation.
"Ling Yi got here first?" Elder Wu's complexion darkened when he saw the Shifeng standing a short distance away from War Blood.
The peak experts present noticed the change in Elder Wu's expression. After all, Tier 3 players' physiques were simply too powerful. Even the slightest change in expression couldn't escape peak experts' perception.
Immediately, the atmosphere in the room turned cold.
"It seems we're going to have a fight?" Prison Tiger felt a headache coming on. He then turned to Cleansing Flame and whispered, "Flame, can you try to persuade Hei Yan? A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. We have no chance of winning against Thirteen Thrones and War Blood."
Prison Tiger knew full well that he couldn't persuade their commander, Zwei, to give in.
The only possibility was the Shifeng themselves. If they were willing to give up the Tree of Life's main branch, they might be able to avoid a fight, but if they insisted on holding on to the main branch, they'd have to fight Thirteen Thrones and War Blood.
"You want me to persuade them?" Cleansing Flame smiled bitterly when she heard Prison Tiger's words. "Big Brother Tiger, I'm afraid that'll be too difficult."
She had learned a lot about the Shifeng's personality. Once they made a decision, they would follow it to the end. Moreover, this was Ling Yi's decision. As an outsider, she couldn't do anything about it.
While Prison Tiger and the others were having headaches over this matter, Blood Oath and the others took the initiative to approach Elder Wu.
"Greetings, Elder Wu. I am Blood Oath, War Blood's commander," Blood Oath said, smiling. Smiling, Blood Oath said, "We've heard a lot about you, Elder Wu. Since you've come here today, War Blood and Starlink will withdraw from the competition for the Tree of Life."
"So, you're War Blood's commander. Youngsters these days are getting stronger with each generation," Elder Wu said, nodding at Blood Oath's respectful attitude.
"If you need War Blood's help, Elder Wu, feel free to ask. War Blood will help if we can." Blood Oath could not help but glance at the distant Shi Feng. Smiling faintly, he said, "If anyone dares to disrespect you, Elder Wu, War Blood will teach them a lesson."
Blood Oath's attitude immediately made Heaven's Blade's members nervous.
They had never thought that Blood Oath would give up on the Tree of Life so easily. He had even sided with Thirteen Thrones. This was extremely disadvantageous for both Heaven's Blade and Ling Yi.
"In that case, this old man will have to thank you," Elder Wu said, smiling.
Elder Wu chuckled. Ignoring Blood Oath, he led his subordinates toward the Shifeng's group of four.
As Elder Wu's group drew closer to the Shifeng's group, Heaven's Blade's members grew increasingly nervous. The atmosphere also grew tense, as if a war were imminent.
Hopefully, President Hei Yan won't be too stubborn, Cleansing Flame inwardly prayed.
Although the Tree of Life was important, there were plenty of opportunities in the Molten Ruin. If War Blood and Starlink started a war with Thirteen Thrones now, it wouldn't bode well for Ling Yi. After all, Thirteen Thrones possessed far more power on Dragonheart Island than War Blood and Starlink.
Meanwhile, Blood Oath, who watched from a short distance away, sneered.
If the Shifeng made the wrong choice, they'd have to face War Blood, Starlink, and Thirteen Thrones. Even if the Shifeng chose to compromise, Ling Yi wouldn't be able to obtain a precious item like the Tree of Life.
Hence, no matter what the Shifeng chose, they wouldn't be able to reap any benefits.
Just as everyone thought that a fight was about to break out, Elder Wu arrived before the Shifeng and looked at the Shifeng quietly.
"President Hei Yan, we meet again. I must congratulate President Hei Yan this time. You actually managed to travel so quickly from the Molten Ruin. Even this old man is impressed. If you have time in the future, President Hei Yan, feel free to visit Thirteen Thrones' Residence. That child, Ling Yi, has always wanted to work with Ling Yi," Elder Wu said, smiling at the Shifeng as if he were greeting an old friend.
When Elder Wu finished speaking, whether it was Blood Oath or Prison Tiger's members, they were stupefied. They couldn't believe their eyes.
