"What did you say?"
"Hei Yan killed a Tier 4 NPC in front of everyone and imprisoned Blood Oath for 15 days?"
The various major powers and adventurer teams in Dragonheart City were shocked when they heard this news. Some of them even double-checked the authenticity of the report with their subordinates.
However, as if these subordinates had expected this, they immediately sent the video of Shifeng killing Sabrid, as well as the video of Shifeng killing three peak experts with a single move right in front of Blood Oath, and the video of NPC soldiers escorting Blood Oath away.
Dragonheart City, Bloodstone Bar:
A group of Level 123-plus, Tier 3 experts had gathered in the bar. Even the weakest among them was a Refinement Realm expert, while there were over a dozen peak experts and four Domain Realm experts. The old man at the head of this group was none other than Elder Wu, one of the founders of Thirteen Thrones.
"Thousand, are you sure this information is accurate?" Elder Wu asked in disbelief as he looked at the woman shrouded in a layer of black mist.
This was because Thousand Lives's report was simply too shocking.
The only reason they had been secretly operating in Dragonheart City was because of the War Blood adventurer team.
Now, however, she was telling him that War Blood was finished, and Ling Yi's Guild Leader, Hei Yan, had single-handedly destroyed the adventurer team.
"It is absolutely true. Many powers have already begun to target War Blood. If not for the Secret Hand Association's relationship with War Blood, they would've most likely taken action to seize War Blood's territory," Thousand Lives said with certainty. "Moreover, I've also received news that Heaven's Blade is very close to Hei Yan this time. If Ling Yi has Heaven's Blade's full support, it won't be long before he controls all of Dragonheart City's resources."
"I really don't understand what Hei Yan is thinking. The war between the Twin Towers Kingdom and the various superpowers is raging every day, yet he still has the time to come to Dragonheart City. Is he really not worried about the Twin Towers Kingdom's situation?" Elder Wu, who had a head of white hair and a slightly haggard expression, was also confused by Shi Feng's words.
At the same time, he did not understand when the Shifeng had grown to such a terrifying level.
Not only had Shi Feng killed a Level 160, Tier 4 NPC, but he had also imprisoned Blood Oath. It was obvious that Shi Feng stood at the apex of Dragonheart City, and even Dragonheart City's various major powers had to look up to him.
According to the information he received, Ling Yi's side in the Twin Towers Kingdom was currently bustling with activity.
A complete Tier 3 Legacy was definitely a boost to the various superpowers' morale. It was also a safeguard against NPC forces in the future. Hence, more than 20 superpowers had frantically dispatched their peak experts to Sky Spring City to harass Ling Yi.
While these superpowers fought Ling Yi's group of three in Sky Spring City, they also dispatched a large number of players from the NPC cities closest to Sky Spring City to the Secret Covenant Tower.
To prevent a large number of players from swarming into the Secret Covenant Tower, Ling Yi's group of three had stationed a large number of players to guard the various roads leading to the Secret Covenant Tower.
In the past, both sides had fought more than five battles involving more than 100,000 players and more than 20 battles involving several tens of thousands of players.
In the most recent battle, Starlink and Miracle had also participated in the battle, dispatching a total of four Tier 4 experts. Ling Yi's group was fortunate enough to send three Tier 4 experts as well.
One of them was the commander of Ling Yi's main force, Fire Dance. The other was Unyielding Soul's Vice Guild Leader, Unyielding Heart, and Crimson Emperor's Vice Guild Leader, Illusory Words. As for Hei Yan, who was originally a Tier 4 Sword Emperor, he did not participate in the battle.
This battle had shaken the entire God's Domain. It was also the first battle involving multiple Tier 4 experts in God's Domain's history. This battle had been earth-shattering, and the Ice Lake Plain, which was only a short distance away, had become a barren wasteland.
If not for Ling Yi's Crimson Dragon Flying Ships, Combat Puppets, Advanced Magic Barriers, and other powerful war weapons, as well as the rampant NPC forces, the various superpowers would've conserved a large portion of their forces to deal with these NPC forces.
Most likely, Ling Yi's group of three wouldn't have been able to occupy the Secret Covenant Tower even now.
Only, Ling Yi's group of three wasn't faring too well either. After all, the prolonged war of attrition had taken a considerable toll on Ling Yi's group. Crimson Emperor and the War Soul Tribe fared slightly better. After all, they had their foundations and businesses. It wouldn't be easy for them to whittle down their forces. However, it was a different story for Ling Yi.
Ling Yi, who had started from scratch, lacked a lot of experience. He also didn't have any background.
To whittle down Ling Yi's forces as quickly as possible, the various superpowers had put in a lot of effort. They either frantically poached Ling Yi's experts or sealed off Ling Yi's resources. This was especially true for Ling Yi's various sources of income in the real world. As a result, Ling Yi had to rely on his own capital to survive.
Most importantly, the various superpowers had sealed off Ling Yi's sources of equipment and materials. Although they couldn't completely seal off Ling Yi's sources of weapons and equipment, the various superpowers had inflated the prices of materials. Now, the cost of producing a piece of Level 120 Mysterious-Iron Equipment was 30 Gold!
In the past, 30 Gold was more than enough to produce a piece of Level 120 Secret-Silver Equipment. Now, however, Level 120 Secret-Silver Equipment cost 100 Gold to produce, which was much more expensive than the Level 120 Secret-Silver Equipment available on the market.
In addition, the various superpowers had quickly purchased all of the better weapons and equipment available on the market. They didn't give Ling Yi's group of three a chance to do so.
After so many battles, Ling Yi's group of three's weapons and equipment warehouses had most likely been emptied long ago.
Without good weapons and equipment, how were players supposed to fight?
There was a 20% difference in Basic Attributes between a player fully geared in Mysterious-Iron Equipment and a player fully geared in Secret-Silver Equipment, not to mention a player fully geared in Fine-Gold Equipment.
Moreover, without good weapons and equipment, how were player teams supposed to raid the Secret Covenant Tower and level up quickly?
"I've just received news from a spy in War Blood. Hei Yan's actions have greatly affected War Blood. It has even affected the Secret Hand Association's control over the World Tower. Hence, the Secret Hand Association intends to teach Hei Yan a lesson. However, since they can't touch him on Dragonheart Island, they've contacted Starlink, which has been working with War Blood, to annihilate the Ling Yi Society's forces in the Twin Towers Kingdom," Thousand Lives whispered.
"Interesting. Hei Yan really knows how to cause trouble. However, this is a good opportunity for Thirteen Thrones!" Elder Wu's eyes glowed when he heard Thousand Lives' words.
"A good opportunity?" Thousand Lives was slightly confused. She couldn't understand what kind of opportunity this was.
Elder Wu then turned to Thousand Lives and the young Ranger beside her and said, "Thousand Lives, Night Rain, come with me. Everyone else, rest in this bar and wait for our return."
"Understood!" everyone responded respectfully.
Following which, Elder Wu led the two Rangers out of the Bloodstone Bar.
"Elder Wu, where are we going? Shouldn't we be heading to the fourth underground floor according to our original plan? "Thousand Lives asked curiously when she saw the smile on Elder Wu's face.
"There's no need for that for now. We have an even better plan in mind," Elder Wu said, smiling faintly.
"An even better plan?" Thousand Lives asked curiously as if she had thought of something. "Are we going to team up with Ling Yi?"
"Team up?" Elder Wu shook his head. Chuckling, he said, "We don't need to team up with Ling Yi. Instead, we need to give Ling Yi an opportunity. An opportunity to let Ling Yi defend the Secret Covenant Tower!"
"Let Ling Yi defend the Secret Covenant Tower? How is that possible?! "Thousand Lives shook her head in disbelief.
It wouldn't be a big deal if it were only Starlink and the other Guilds taking action. However, this time, the Secret Hand Association, a first-rate NPC force, was taking action. Who knew how many Tier 4 NPCs would show up? With Ling Yi's current strength in the Twin Towers Kingdom, there was no way he could defend the tower.
Smiling, Elder Wu asked, "But what if Ling Yi has a City Building Order?"
"Elder Wu, are you planning to sell that City Building Order to Ling Yi?" Realization dawned on Thousand Lives.
City Building Orders were incomparably rare. Even Thirteen Thrones had only obtained two so far. Now that they had used one, they only had one left.
With a City Building Order, players could construct a Guild City in any kingdom or empire.
If Ling Yi had a Guild City beside the Secret Covenant Tower, his control over the tower would increase significantly. At that time, even Tier 4 NPCs would have a hard time breaching the tower. Not to mention, Ling Yi also had Tier 4 NPCs guarding the tower. With this, Ling Yi would indeed have a high chance of defending the Secret Covenant Tower.
"Whether he sells it or not remains to be seen," Elder Wu said, shaking his head. Chuckling, he continued, "What happens next will depend on Ling Yi's sincerity!"
Upon hearing Elder Wu's words, Thousand Lives shook her head and chuckled. She couldn't help but sympathize with the Shifeng.
It was obvious that Elder Wu had grasped Ling Yi's lifeline. He would definitely take a big bite out of Ling Yi when the time came. This was especially true now that Hei Yan stood at the apex of Dragonheart City. It would be a miracle if he didn't take advantage of Ling Yi.
"Elder Wu, according to our investigation, Hei Yan and the others are currently inside that Wanderer's Shop," Modern Rain, one of Thirteen Thrones' Vice Guild Leaders, said as he pointed to a dilapidated, three-story Shop a short distance away.
"Alright. Let's go meet with President Hei Yan now," Elder Wu said, nodding.
Elder Wu nodded. Then, he led Qian Ming and Ye Yu into the Wanderer's Shop.
