Yuantian City's Upper Zone, Villa District:
"Uncle Hong, why did you suddenly call me over? Did something happen?" Muxin asked in confusion as she looked at Hong Xinyuan, who stood quietly before the floor-to-ceiling window and gazed at the moon outside.
She had just been preparing to explore the next primordial ruin, and she had already gathered the necessary manpower. Now, all she had to do was enter the primordial ruin. If she was lucky, she might even discover a Tier 4 Legacy Land or obtain a Legacy Guidance. This was extremely important to the current Frost Heaven.
The War of Worlds was about to begin. Based on the information she had read about God's Domain after her return, although there was very little information, she could speculate that they would have to face enemies from an entire world. They would only have two choices: conquer or be conquered. Unlike the players from other Great Worlds, Frost Heaven would have no third option.
Hence, no matter how many preparations they made, it would not be excessive. Hence, increasing the number of Tier 4 players they had was of utmost importance.
Kerui, who stood beside Hong Xinyuan, was similarly confused by this situation. She had just managed to fall asleep, yet Hong Xinyuan had suddenly woken her up. Even now, she was still feeling sleepy and wanted nothing more than to crawl back into bed.
"Take a look for yourselves."
Hong Xinyuan then handed a document to Muxin and Kerui.
The document contained none other than Wang Xuanming's attack on a residential area.
"How is this possible?!"
Muxin couldn't believe her eyes after reading the document.
She had heard of Haitian City's Upper Zone's Wang Xuanming before. Such an expert would definitely rank first or second in Yuantian City's base layer. He was only half a step away from becoming a mental strength master.
If such an expert wanted to deal with someone in secret, even the Boulder Corporation would be helpless against him. At that time, they would have no choice but to hide in the villa district.
Yet, not only had Wang Xuanming's attack on the Shifeng failed, but he had even been captured. How could she possibly believe this?
"He's actually that strong?"
Kerui, who stood beside Muxin, also snapped out of her daze, disbelief filling her beautiful eyes.
"You've seen the document," Hong Xinyuan said as he looked at Muxin. "I have to admit that even I have underestimated the Shifeng. Since even Wang Xuanming is no match for him, it can be seen that the Shifeng has more secrets than we thought."
Muxin couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Hong, do you mean to deepen our cooperation with Ling Yi?"
"That's right. You've seen what the future holds for us. Even superpowers will struggle to protect themselves. If we want to survive, joining forces with Ling Yi might not be a bad idea." Hong Xinyuan nodded. "Moreover, I plan to have the corporation sell some Phantom Potions and Life Potions to Ling Yi. I believe these should be what Ling Yi needs the most right now."
"I understand. I'll contact Ling Yi now."
Muxin nodded and left the living room, leaving Kerui alone in a daze.
After Kerui came back to her senses, she couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Hong, is it necessary for us to do this?"
If it were only forming a strategic alliance with Ling Yi, she could accept it. After all, the strength and potential Ling Yi had displayed so far were indeed much stronger than the various superpowers. Ling Yi could even catch up with the Five Great Super Guilds. What Ling Yi needed right now was time and a large number of talents.
However, Shi Feng's decision to sell the Phantom Potions and Life Potions the Boulder Corporation had accumulated over the years to Zero Wing confused her greatly. After all, these items were the foundations of the various major corporations in the Upper Zone. Even the heirs nurtured by these corporations wouldn't have access to many of them.
"There are some things you don't know. Wang Xuanming isn't that easy to defeat. The Shifeng's methods and secrets are definitely extraordinary," Hong Xinyuan said, shaking his head. Hong Xinyuan shook his head and said slowly, "Building a good relationship with him now won't do any harm to the consortium or to you."
In reality, aside from his high opinion of the Shifeng's potential, Xia Qingying had also sent him a shocking piece of news.
The Shifeng hadn't defeated Wang Xuanming!
What kind of person was Wang Xuanming?
Even Xia Qingying was only slightly stronger than Wang Xuanming. Defeating Wang Xuanming wasn't an easy task, much less in just a few seconds.
Meanwhile, in the Upper Zone, the only people capable of defeating Wang Xuanming in just a few seconds were the middle layer's big shots.
If he could establish a good relationship with these big shots, his development in the Upper Zone would be much faster than quietly remaining in the base layer.
At the same time, in a mansion in Haitian City's Upper Zone …
"Young Master, what should we do now?" Yi Kui asked nervously as he looked at Lu Tiandi, who had just exited his virtual gaming cabin. "Mr. Wang has been captured by Yuantian City's Upper Zone. If your teacher blames us for this …"
Wang Xuanming was a true peerless genius. Even the middle layer's big shots had a hard time finding such a student. Now, Wang Xuanming would definitely be expelled from the Upper Zone forever. Without the support of the Upper Zone's various resources, it would be impossible for him to advance any further.
After listening to Yi Kui's report, Lu Tiandi smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do. Although this outcome is slightly different from what I wanted, it's still in line with my plan. All we need to do now is wait and see. "
Wang Xuanming's teacher had always doted on Wang Xuanming and provided him with the best resources. Hence, Lu Tiandi had always received very few resources. If not for Lu Xingluo's incident, Wang Xuanming's teacher wouldn't have placed so much emphasis on him.
Lu Tiandi's original plan was to have Wang Xuanming and the Shifeng become enemies. After all, with the Shifeng's abilities and potential, Lu Tiandi didn't think Wang Xuanming could defeat the Shifeng. Hence, the Shifeng would definitely cause a lot of trouble for Wang Xuanming. At the same time, Wang Xuanming would also cause a lot of trouble for the Shifeng.
Now, the Shifeng's methods had exceeded Lu Tiandi's expectations. However, this was the outcome he wanted to see the most.
After Wang Xuanming was expelled from the Upper Zone, the Shifeng would have to face Lu Tiandi's wrath. At that time, the Shifeng would most likely be expelled from the Upper Zone. It was even possible that they would disappear from the world altogether. At that time, Lu Tiandi would be able to find a way to take over Ling Yi.
"Is everything going according to plan?"
Yi Kui couldn't help but shudder when he saw Lu Tiandi's indifferent smile. He never thought that even Wang Xuanming would fall for Lu Tiandi's scheme. He had to admit that Lu Tiandi was simply too ruthless.
Calmly, Lu Tiandi said, "Alright, you may leave. I still need you to deal with Ji Luorong's matters in God's Domain."
"Yes, sir!"
Yi Kui hurriedly replied. Although he had long since known that anyone who stood in Lu Tiandi's way wouldn't have a good ending, he still couldn't help but shudder when he saw it for himself.
While Wang Xuanming's attack on the Upper Zone's residential district came to an end, the Shifeng and the others in Yuantian City's Upper Zone moved into a better house under Xia Qingying's arrangements. The Upper Zone even assigned an autonomous combat robot to patrol the area to prevent the same thing from happening again.
Moreover, as compensation, the Green God Company even gave the Shifeng ten bottles of Phantom Potion and ten bottles of Life Potion.
However, Shifeng didn't feel happy about this situation. On the contrary, he felt a lot of pressure.
Now that Wang Xuanming has been captured, his teacher in the middle layer definitely won't let me off the hook. Even with an autonomous combat robot protecting me 24/7, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop a mental strength master from taking revenge.
Shifeng couldn't help but feel a headache as he looked at the information Xia Qingying provided him.
Wang Xuanming's teacher, Fu Jiuzhong, was no ordinary person. Even in the middle layer, Fu Jiuzhong ranked among the top experts. Moreover, he wielded a lot of authority. In fact, several corporations in Yuantian City's Upper Zone, which were on par with the Boulder Corporation, had no choice but to obey Fu Jiuzhong's orders.
If Fu Jiuzhong started targeting him, he would most likely have a hard time obtaining resources in Yuantian City's base layer, not to mention providing resources to Ling Yi.
Although it's still a little early, it seems I have no choice but to challenge the Divine Dragon's trial in advance.
Shifeng had never been confident about clearing the Divine Dragon's trial. After all, it was a Tier 4 Divine Dragon. It was much more powerful than ordinary Tier 4 Dragons. Even a Tier 5 existence wouldn't be a match for a Tier 4 Divine Dragon of the same level.
Originally, he had intended to wait until his Mana Body had improved further before challenging the Divine Dragon's trial.
However, it seemed that was no longer possible.
He had no choice but to challenge the Divine Dragon's trial!
Only by completing the Divine Dragon's trial could he make the Divine Dragon his true companion, allowing Ling Yi to gain a firm foothold on the western continent. At that time, the Starlight Fortress would be able to play its true role on the western continent. Not only would he be able to recruit a large number of talents from the western continent, but he would also be able to obtain a large number of Seven Luminaries Crystals. After all, a God Mode Regional Dungeon's production rate was frightening.
Only by obtaining a large supply of Phantom Potions and Life Potions would he be more confident of breaking through the mental strength barrier.
Following which, Shifeng didn't hold anything back in his room.
He drank a bottle of Phantom Potion and a bottle of Life Potion before entering his virtual gaming cabin.
