"What did you say?! The Infernal Legion has compromised?! "
"How is that possible?! That's nearly 300 Tier 3 experts we're talking about! They're a bunch of lunatics! "
As news of the Infernal Legion reached the various superpowers' ears, they couldn't believe their eyes.
They had assumed that the Starlight Fortress was doomed. Even if the fortress hadn't been captured, it would've been chaotic.
They, more or less, understood the Infernal Legion's situation.
The Infernal Legion was a bunch of lunatics.
The Dragon might be powerful, but at the end of the day, there was only one Dragon. It was practically impossible for the Dragon to keep the Infernal Legion's 300-man army in check. Ordinary Tier 3 experts couldn't compare to these players. Moreover, if given the slightest opportunity, the Infernal Legion would rise from the ashes and attack the fortress over and over again.
The Infernal Legion would wear the enemy down until they couldn't hold on any longer.
Because of this, the various superpowers had feared the Infernal Legion.
Yet, the situation had changed.
The Infernal Legion hadn't even engaged in a proper battle, much less launched an assault on the Starlight Fortress. After a simple negotiation, the Infernal Legion had agreed to become the Starlight Fortress's ally. Moreover, the Infernal Legion hadn't even offered any shares of the Starlight Fortress. For a moment, the various superpowers even wondered if the Infernal Legion was a fake. This wasn't their style of doing things.
Due to this news, the various superpowers that had been eyeing the Starlight Fortress hesitated.
Previously, they had only wanted a share of the pie because the Nether Empire had shown interest in the Starlight Fortress, but now, the Nether Empire had changed its mind and joined the Infernal Legion's side. This was undoubtedly a disaster for the various superpowers.
They didn't fear Divine Tribe because Divine Tribe only had slightly more Tier 3 experts than they did individually. If they worked together, they could easily overwhelm Divine Tribe. Moreover, the Starlight Fortress was only partially under Divine Tribe's control. This was a huge advantage for the various superpowers.
However, now that the Nether Empire had joined the fray, they would have a much harder time causing trouble in the Starlight Fortress.
Setting aside the strength of the Infernal Legion's lunatics, the Infernal Legion had more than enough Tier 3 experts to contend with several superpowers. Including the Infernal Legion's Dragon, how could they possibly cause trouble?
However, the various superpowers weren't willing to give up just yet.
Although they knew that it was impossible for them to get a share of the Starlight Fortress, they still dispatched a large number of experts to the fortress to see what was going on.
After all, the benefits involved in the Starlight Fortress were simply too great. As long as there was even the slightest chance of obtaining it, they wouldn't give it up.
Meanwhile, in the Demonic Silver Mine that the Azure Chamber of Commerce guarded far away from Star Valley …
"Did the Infernal Legion also fail?" Yan Xiaoqian looked at the subordinate who reported the news and was stunned. She couldn't believe it.
The fact that the Shifeng had cooperated with Divine Tribe to capture the Starlight Fortress was already unbelievable enough.
After that, a Dragon appeared in the Starlight Fortress.
Now, even the Infernal Legion, which everyone on the Western Continent feared, had compromised on the matter of the Starlight Fortress.
If she did not know everything about the Shifeng and the others, she would have thought that the Shifeng and the others were a hidden superpower in the Western Continent.
However, she knew full well that …
The Shifeng and the others had come to the Western Continent with only a dozen or so people. None of them were members of the Ling YI Society. They didn't even have a single ally.
Yet, how much time had passed since then?
Not only had the Shifeng and the others gained a foothold on the Western Continent, but they had also gained two powerful allies. Moreover, this foothold was in Star Valley, which the various superpowers dreamed of. The Guild's development speed was simply amazing.
In order to establish a foothold on the eastern continent, the Azure Chamber of Commerce had spent over a month to establish a foothold in the Dark Hills, which was the border between the Fire Dragon Empire and the Dark Hills. Moreover, Azure hadn't even taken into account the manpower and connections the Chamber of Commerce had planted on the eastern continent.
Yet, in less than four days, the Shifeng and the others had managed to secure the Starlight Fortress, which the various superpowers had gone crazy over.
"Young Lady, there isn't much time left until the competition between the various families. The family has already secured an opportunity for you to enter the trial grounds. I hope that you will cherish this opportunity and regain some of your lost face in the upcoming competition. Don't be distracted by other matters." An amiable old man, who stood beside Yan Xiaoqian, tried to persuade her when he saw the girl's shocked expression.
"I understand. Ling Yi has only gained a foothold on the Western Continent and a lot of resources. He's still far from enough to help Silent Wonder win the competition between the various families," Yan Xiaoqian said, nodding. Yan Xiaoqian nodded. She calmed down the restlessness in her heart, and her face regained its usual confident look.
Ling Yi had indeed gained a foothold on the Western Continent, but he had only just gained a foothold on the Eastern Continent. Whether the Guild could develop further in the future was another matter. After all, the Demonic Creature army was the western continent's greatest enemy, not the various superpowers.
As a forbidden land for life, Star Valley was a place without the protection of kingdoms or empires.
In other words, the Demonic Creature army wasn't under any suppression. Moreover, the fortress wasn't protected by any kingdom or empire's NPCs. It was easy to imagine how dangerous it would be in the future.
Even if Divine Tribe and the Nether Empire worked together, they wouldn't necessarily be able to stop the Demonic Creature army. Otherwise, forbidden lands would've long since filled the streets.
Moreover, even if Ling Yi could defend the Starlight Fortress, he wouldn't be able to help Silent Wonder.
After all, Ling Yi's foundation on the Western Continent was too weak. Meanwhile, the western continent's Legacy training sites were far superior to those on the eastern continent.
"Young Lady, let's head over there now," the amiable old man said.
Yan Xiaoqian nodded. She couldn't help but glance in the direction of Star Valley.
Just you wait! I won't lose to Silent Wonder in the family competition this time! Yan Xiaoqian swore inwardly when she recalled the Shifeng's departure from the Starlight Fortress.
Her family had paid a heavy price to secure the entry slots to the Starlight Fortress's trial, and such an opportunity was most likely one of a handful in God's Domain. If she succeeded, she might even be able to defeat the Shifeng, much less Silent Wonder.
While Yan Xiaoqian rode her Flying Mount away from the Demonic Silver Mine, the Shifeng led the Infernal Legion deep into Star Valley's inner region.
Star Valley was a forbidden land to begin with. It was so dangerous that even Tier 3 players could easily lose their lives in it, not to mention the valley's inner region.
The lowest-leveled monsters in the inner region were Level 110 or above. There were even groups of monsters led by Grand Lords, each of which numbered in the thousands. Some groups even numbered as many as 3,000. Even a 100-man team of Tier 3 players would be annihilated if they encountered such a monster army.
Fortunately, the Infernal Legion's members were all extraordinarily strong. Moreover, there were nearly 300 of them. Hence, the journey was relatively safe. Only, their speed was extremely slow.
After traveling for over ten hours, the Shifeng's group finally arrived at the border of Star Valley's inner region.
Not far from the border of the inner region, there was a huge mountain rooted there. It was like a spear that was stabbed into the ground, about to pierce through the earth. Moreover, the power that this huge mountain emitted was as deep as the sea. The closer one got to it, the heavier it felt.
Meanwhile, this seemingly endless mountain was the only God Mode Regional Dungeon in Star Valley.
The Star Tomb!
"President Hei Yan, think about this carefully. Are we really going to enter the tomb? Once we enter, we'll have a hard time getting out. Moreover, even if players die inside, they'll only respawn inside, "Xiang Shifeng reminded Hellscream as he looked at the mountain before him.
The Star Tomb was a very special place.
Just like its name, it was a special place.
Normally, when players died, they'd respawn in the nearest NPC town or shrine. However, it was a different story in the Star Tomb. Unless players left the Star Tomb, they'd only respawn inside the tomb no matter how many times they died.
"I understand. Let's go in."
Shifeng understood this very well. Without hesitation, he entered the Star Tomb. The Infernal Legion members exchanged glances with one another before helplessly following Shifeng into Star Valley.
As Shifeng's group entered the Star Tomb, the Starlight Fortress in Star Valley's outer region released a dazzling light. The Starlight Fortress's seal finally disappeared, and it was now open to the public.
