Stone Forest City, Ling Yi's Residence:
Long Wushang and Hermit, who sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows in Ling Yi's spacious and luxurious reception room, wore ugly expressions.
"Commander Scream, are you saying that President Hei Yan doesn't want to meet with us?" Long Wushang asked with a grim expression as he watched Hellscream enter the room.
"That's right," Hell Rush said calmly. "He already knows what you're going to tell him, so he told me to pass on a message. He'll be bringing Silent to Violet Sword during the Clans Tournament, so don't worry about her," Hell Rush said calmly.
When Hellscream finished speaking, Long Wushang and Hermit were stunned. Long Wushang, in particular, was stunned.
Before arriving at Ling Yi's Residence, Long Wushang had considered all kinds of possibilities. He had even prepared to face the Shifeng head-on, but he had never thought that the Shifeng would refuse to meet with them and send them away …
However, this wasn't the most surprising part.
What truly shocked them was that Hellscream had actually listened to the Shifeng's orders and made a personal trip to inform them.
The Nether Empire and Ling Yi's partnership was no secret among the various superpowers. The battle at the Dark World's Teleportation Gate, in particular, had exposed the alliance between the Nether Empire and Ling Yi.
However, who was Hellscream?
He was the God of Slaughter, known to every power on the western continent. He was also the commander of one of the Nether Empire's trump card legions, one of the Five Great Super Guilds. Even Violet Sword's Guild Leader had to treat him with caution, yet he had actually listened to the Shifeng's orders and come running for them …
"Good! Since President Hei Yan has understood the situation, we won't stay any longer! "Long Wushang said, calming his heart. He then led Hermit out of the reception room.
As Long Wushang and his companions left Ling Yi's Residence, the atmosphere around them turned cold. The nearby players shuddered, and they tried to distance themselves from Long Wushang. This was especially true for Azure's experts.
"I never thought that Ling Yi's relationship with the Nether Empire would be better than I thought. Even Hellscream listens to Hei Yan. If Violet Sword finds out about this, they might actually make some concessions," Hermit said as he looked at Long Wushang's ugly expression.
"Concessions?" Long Wushang laughed. "I admit that Ling Yi's relationship with the Nether Empire isn't shallow, but the Nether Empire is the Nether Empire, while Ling Yi is Ling Yi. Even if both sides are allies, Ling Yi doesn't have any influence on the western continent. On the other hand, Violet Sword is a behemoth with deep roots in the western continent. It's obvious who has the upper hand here. How much help would the Nether Empire be willing to give?
"Meanwhile, this matter involves Violet Sword's future plans and the Guild's prestige. Violet Sword definitely won't make any concessions just because the Nether Empire has intervened. After all, Violet Sword has always wanted to become one of the Five Great Super Guilds. So what if Ling Yi has a good relationship with the Nether Empire?
"As for trying to negotiate with Violet Sword personally? That's a joke!"
"However, we've more or less achieved our goal this time. Will you return after this?" Hermit asked.
"Of course, I'll return." Long Wushang sneered as he glanced at Ling Yi's Residence. "Violet Sword has issued a warning to the Long Family. Since Hei Yan is so stubborn, don't blame me for relaying his message to Violet Sword. When the time comes, I want to see if Hei Yan can still be as stubborn as he was today!"
After Long Wushang finished speaking, he left Stone Forest City and returned to the western continent. He planned to report the day's events to his family and Violet Sword.
However, shortly after Long Wushang and the others left, Silent Wonder, who had received the news through Candlelight, was stunned.
"Guild Leader, you're not really planning to visit Violet Sword, are you?" Silent Wonder asked as she watched the Shifeng on the screen.
Not only had Shifeng refused to see her Fifth Uncle and the others, but he had also asked the Azure Chamber of Commerce to stay out of this matter and let the Shifeng deal with it personally.
Zero Wing might have become a powerhouse on the eastern continent, but it didn't have much of a foundation on the western continent. Convincing Violet Sword and the Zeus Corporation to abandon their plans was impossible.
If things went wrong, not only would the Zeus Corporation become enemies with Ling Yi, but it wouldn't bode well for Ling Yi.
"Since you've said so, of course, we'll go." Shifeng nodded confidently. "Moreover, not only will we go, but we'll go in style!"
"In style?" Silent Wonder wondered if Shifeng had lost his mind.
They were talking about Violet Sword. Moreover, the Guild was located on the western continent. If Violet Sword found out about what had happened today, they might not even be able to return alive, much less in style.
"I've heard that the younger generation of Azure's other families has been invited to train in Violet Sword. Since that's the case, you should stop making potions for now and focus on training in the Lost Town," Shi Feng said. Ignoring Silent Wonder's speechless expression, he continued, "At the very least, we'll show your family and Violet Sword just how amazing Ling Yi is!"
"There are only a few days left until the family competition. I'm afraid we won't have enough time for training …" Silent Wonder said worriedly when she heard Shifeng's suggestion.
It wasn't that she didn't believe in Shifeng's abilities, especially when it came to leveling up. The two Dark Guilds' main force members had already proven this point.
However, Azure's family competition wasn't like the PvP battles in the Dark Battle Arena. Instead, it was a competition of combat standards and techniques. At the end of the day, weapons and equipment were external sources of strength. With the Azure Chamber of Commerce's support, it was only a matter of time before one obtained them. Azure had no lack of such items. Hence, it was important to test their potential.
However, improving one's techniques and combat standards wasn't something that could be achieved overnight. It required long-term training and accumulation.
There were only six days left until the family competition. It wasn't realistic for Silent Wonder to improve her combat standards in such a short time, much less perform well in the competition.
Although she was quite talented in combat among Azure's younger generation, she was far from comparable to the combat geniuses who focused solely on combat.
She knew that two of Azure's younger generation members were close to reaching the Domain Realm. One of them had even reached the Domain Realm. With her current combat standards, she had no chance of winning.
"I understand, but sharpening one's spear before a battle is still useful. Not to mention, there are many ways to fight." Shifeng understood Silent Wonder's concerns. Smiling faintly, he said, "In any case, just come over. I've already granted you permission to enter the Lost Town. Just head to the Residence and purchase a Teleportation Scroll."
"Alright, I'll head over now."
Seeing Shifeng's confidence, Silent Wonder had no choice but to try her luck. After all, she had gained a lot during her time with Ling Yi. She couldn't afford to tarnish Ling Yi's reputation. Following which, she left Candlelight and made her way to Ling Yi's Residence.
