Dark Night Empire, Dark Night City:
Starlink's Residence should've been bustling with activity, but it was strangely quiet right now.
Starlink's elite and expert players had even surrounded the Residence's Guild Hall. Many of them were Tier 3 experts. Even Guild experts couldn't set foot inside the Residence, let alone outsiders. The Residence's security was unprecedentedly tight.
Only three people stood inside Starlink's Residence: Lu Xingluo, Nine Dragons Emperor, and a cloaked person shrouded in black mist. It was impossible to tell the gender of this person.
However, Nine Dragons Emperor didn't express any dissatisfaction with this person's identity. On the contrary, he was shocked and surprised.
After all, Lu Xingluo, who should've held the highest position in the Residence, actually respected this mysterious person.
Who was Lu Xingluo?
Lu Xingluo was Starlink's Guild Leader, a superpower that had allowed Starlink to develop across two continents. Although Starlink wasn't a match for Super Guilds on the surface, it had far more potential than Super Guilds.
Yet, Lu Xingluo actually respected this mysterious person. It was simply unbelievable.
"Now that everything is settled, do you have any issues on your side?" Lu Xingluo asked Nine Dragons Emperor.
"Absolutely. Those people should've arrived in Stone Forest City by now. As long as we cooperate with the other superpowers' armies and attack Stone Forest City, those people will attack the City Lord's Mansion with everything they have. Once that happens, we'll have the upper hand," Nine Dragons Emperor said confidently.
To secure Stone Forest City, he had gone to great lengths to defeat Phoenix Rain and become the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's new Great Pavilion Master. He had even made a huge concession to the Black Dragon Empire's dark powers to gather nearly 100 Tier 3 experts.
He had carefully selected these Tier 3 experts, and no one would find out that they were related to the other superpowers. With these experts, he could enter Stone Forest City safely without Ling Yi stopping him from entering Stone Forest City.
After all, Ling Yi's relationship with the various superpowers was strained. Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for the various superpowers' Tier 3 experts to enter the city. This was especially true for his subordinates.
However, if these people weren't affiliated with the various superpowers, Ling Yi wouldn't be able to stop them even if he wanted to. Otherwise, the various superpowers' Tier 3 experts and independent Tier 3 experts would be displeased.
At that time, Ling Yi's situation would become even more dangerous. Not only would he have to make an enemy of the various superpowers, but he would also have to deal with the various ordinary powers and independent experts.
As soon as Nine Dragons Emperor finished speaking, the mysterious person seated beside him suddenly received a message. Immediately, Nine Dragons Emperor felt the atmosphere in the room change.
Although they couldn't see the mysterious man's face clearly, peak experts could easily sense the changes in the man's emotions.
"Nine Dragons Pavilion Master, you've worked hard on this matter. However, we'll withdraw from this matter!" the mysterious man said, ignoring Lu Xingluo's opinion.
"What are you trying to say?" Nine Dragons Emperor was confused. "Don't tell me you don't want Stone Forest City anymore?"
Everything was ready, and they were just waiting for the various superpowers' alliance to attack Stone Forest City. Now, however, the mysterious man suddenly said that he was withdrawing. This man was toying with him.
At this moment, let alone Nine Dragons Emperor, even Lu Xingluo, who sat beside him, was stunned. He stared at the mysterious man in confusion, unable to understand what was going on. Why would the mysterious man give up on such a golden opportunity to obtain Stone Forest City?
"It's nothing. It's just that this matter won't succeed," the mysterious man said, shaking his head in disappointment.
"How can it not succeed? I admit that Ling Yi is very strong, but he's nothing compared to the various superpowers' alliance. Once my subordinates take over the City Lord's Mansion, Stone Forest City will be ours! " Nine Dragons Emperor laughed in exasperation. "If Starlink doesn't want Stone Forest City, I don't mind working with the other superpowers. Don't regret it then."
"Regret?" The mysterious man smiled when he heard Nine Dragons Emperor's words. "Pavilion Master Nine, if you can find a partner, feel free to do so. However, I doubt any superpower in God's Domain will be interested in working with you."
"You …"
Before Nine Dragons Emperor could say anything, Martial Dragon sent him a message. The content of the message was simple: Stubborn Heart and the others had given up on working with them.
Nine Dragons Emperor was dumbfounded when he read the message.
What was going on?
Starlink had given up on working with him, and now, Stubborn Heart and the others had done the same.
Was Ling Yi so heaven-defying as to bribe these two groups of superpowers?
Nine Dragons Emperor couldn't think of any other possibility other than Ling Yi bribing the mysterious man and Stubborn Heart. This was a golden opportunity to secure Stone Forest City. Who could possibly resist such a temptation?
"Don't think about it. It's very simple," the mysterious man said as if he had seen through Nine Dragons Emperor. As if he had seen through Nine Dragons Emperor's thoughts, the mysterious man calmly said, "Only because no power in God's Domain can do anything to Stone Forest City."
"How is that possible?" Nine Dragons Emperor instinctively refused to believe the mysterious man's words. "Even if Ling Yi has that monster, Hei Yan, and the Secret Pavilion's protection, they won't be able to stop the several thousand Tier 3 experts of the various superpowers."
"But what if Stone Forest City has 500 Tier 3 NPCs protecting it?" the mysterious man asked.
"Five hundred Tier 3 NPCs? This … Impossible! How can Ling Yi have so many Tier 3 NPCs under his command? Even the capital cities of kingdoms don't have that many Tier 3 NPCs! "Nine Dragons Emperor felt that the mysterious man was joking with him.
"If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself," the mysterious man said, revealing a video he had recorded in Stone Forest City.
After watching the video, Nine Dragons Emperor was dumbfounded.
Shi Feng had recorded two videos. The first video showed the nearly 200 Tier 3 NPCs standing guard at Stone Forest City's entrance, while the second video showed the 200 Tier 3 NPCs surrounding the City Lord's Mansion. Even without personally experiencing these two videos, Shi Feng could feel the overwhelming pressure these NPCs radiated.
Tier 3 players and several thousand Tier 3 experts were nothing before this army of Tier 3 NPCs.
News of this situation quickly reached the ears of the various superpowers, including the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion in Twilight City.
"A single Guild City has nearly 500 Tier 3 NPCs? President Hei Yan is simply too amazing. With this, which superpower would dare attack Stone Forest City?" Blue Phoenix gaped in shock when she read the news.
Even a kingdom could only dispatch 500 Tier 3 NPCs. This was the maximum number of Tier 3 NPCs a kingdom could dispatch.
"It's no wonder why he casually took out the Twelve Elemental Pillars. With this, the various superpowers will have to reconsider their next move. Otherwise, they'll be the next to be eliminated," Phoenix Rain said, smiling bitterly as she read the report in her hands.
Not only did Ling Yi possess the Twelve Elemental Pillars, but he also had the power to protect them. With this, the eastern continent's power structure would undergo a major change.
As Phoenix Rain marveled at Ling Yi's foundations, a Tier 3 Assassin entered the room.
"Phoenix Pavilion Master, the Great Pavilion Master wishes to speak to you about an important matter. He requests that you meet him immediately."
