The next day!
This day was destined to be memorable. In the five major cities of the server, the top guilds were gathering their strongest teams, sparking a massive discussion among all players.
In Southern Wilderness City, at the teleportation area!
It was now nine-thirty in the morning. Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan had already arrived beside the Teleportation Circle, and the guild teams that had assembled early were buzzing with excitement. The overall commander, Li Tielong, quickly stepped forward to give an explanation.
Rainy Years Guild...
With a total of 2,000 participating members, including 300 Knights, 300 Mages, 300 Swordsmen, 300 Archers, 200 Berserkers, 200 Priests, 200 Assassins, and 200 Summoners.
Moreover, all 2,000 of these members were the elite of Mist of Time!
As this grand assembly of 2,000 approached the Teleportation Circle, an overwhelming aura surged forth. Coupled with the formidable reputation of Mist of Time, a spectacle emerged in Southern Wilderness City as countless players flocked from every corner to witness it.
Furthermore, there was also the legendary Dragon Slaying Team present!
"Look!" someone in the crowd exclaimed with sparkling eyes. "That’s the legendary Dragon-Slaying Eight-Man Team! Each one of them is a city-slayer!"
"City-slayer? Is it really that exaggerated?"
"Heh heh, just a metaphor! But it's not far off. Tsk tsk, do you see that man and woman standing in the middle? That’s none other than the renowned First Person Fallen Leaves Whisper and the President of Rainy Years Guild, Light Cold Evening Snow, who is also the second Dreambreaker..."
"And over there is Yesterday's Fireworks! Sigh, if only I could get my hands on a Divine Staff someday!"
"Hey, did you see that archer? That guy is impressive! He’s abandoned traditional speed builds for a full power output style; just that courage is admirable! You know he’s not wielding an ordinary bow but a Crossbow that demands immense strength..."
"And look at that guy with a sword and a wine gourd on his back—an hidden class! So cool! Just this appearance alone is impressive!"
"Then there's that assassin, once known as the Southern Wilderness City's First Assassin, the Terminator of Regrets. In the last game, his nickname was Remnant, and he was quite a formidable character, someone with countless glorious past achievements. He’s one of my idols..."
"Hey, look over there, that knight..."
"Heh, I’m not afraid to tell you, this isn’t just any ordinary knight; he’s a Dragon Knight! Do you know what a Dragon Knight is? It’s a knight who rides a giant dragon... whoosh... whoosh, soaring through the clouds on a massive dragon, appearing and disappearing without a trace!"
"…"
"And then there's that Beautiful Priest, the strongest priest with the highest level across the server!"
"Damn!"
One guy next to them finally couldn’t hold back anymore. His eyes widened as he grabbed the collar of the speaker and shouted, "Do you dare say something we don’t already know?"
"I... I don’t know anything..."
The speaker panicked for a moment, feeling the angry glares around him. He frowned and gritted his teeth, "Does First Person's affair with Fallen Leaves Whisper count?"
"What?"
The group of guys suddenly looked as if they had seen a rising sun. Look at that! This is the kind of scandal that could bring down even those high above!
"With whom?"
The guy immediately let go and leaned in closer, lowering his voice, "Tell me, I’ll give you 100 gold coins! How about it?"
"Are you serious?"
"People can be so suspicious!" He watched as the guy tossed out 100 gold coins and pulled someone by the shoulder, stepping out of the crowd. "Spill it!"
"Sky Feather!" the person replied.
The guy was ecstatic—no, he was beyond ecstatic. He couldn't believe that the esteemed First Person, Fallen Leaves Whisper, had been caught with such a significant lead. The name "Sky Feather" was completely unfamiliar to him; it was clear that the secrecy surrounding it was well-maintained.
"Heh heh, thanks!" The person pocketed the 100 gold coins and scampered away.
As he watched the figure disappear into the sea of people, he continued to feel exhilarated. He opened his friend list and typed "Sky Feather" into the search bar, chuckling to himself as if he had already secured a firm grip on the illustrious First Person, Fallen Leaves Whisper.
But then...
The system quickly chimed in: User not found!
"What?!" He stared in disbelief. How could there be no such person? He tried several more times, but each attempt yielded the same result, and it suddenly dawned on him.
"Damn it, my 100 gold coins!"
He turned around, but where could he find that seller of false information now? Unable to contain his frustration, he began to stomp his feet and curse loudly. "You better hope I don't catch you again; otherwise, I'll make you regret it! How dare you trick me!"
"President?" someone suddenly called out from nearby.
Caught up in his ranting, he paused, realizing that as the leader of a guild, such behavior was unbecoming. He straightened up and cleared his throat. "So, what’s the word? Have you found out anything about Mist of Time's movements?"
"Not yet, but it's clear this isn't just a solo act by Mist of Time!" the newcomer replied.
"What do you mean by that?"
The newcomer fell silent for a moment before continuing, "Just like Southern Wilderness City, the Divine Silence Guild in Dongli City, the Supreme Alliance Guild in Sky Feather City, the Righteousness Above All Guild in Northern Cold City, and the War God Hall Guild in Xiliang City are all gathering their guild teams!"
"You mean..."
"Clearly, this operation involves the Five Major Guilds working together; it must be something significant!" The newcomer analyzed further and added, "President, should we quickly assemble our team and wait for an opportunity to act?"
"Act? Are you out of your mind?"
The President couldn't help but feel anger rising. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Which of these five guilds isn't excessively powerful? We need to think carefully about how to deal with even one of them. Now that we know they are working together, why would we gather a team? That's just asking for trouble!"
"Then... what about over there?" The newcomer asked in a panic.
"Hmph, what about it? Let it be!" The President's eyes gleamed with determination as he declared, "If they want to move, let them. This time we’ll just watch from the sidelines; we won’t participate. Those rabble can fend for themselves!"
"President is wise!" the newcomer flattered.
"Heh, I won’t do something so foolish as to act when I know it’s impossible!" A smile crept onto the President's face. "Let’s go! We won’t get involved in this mess. Tell the brothers that the operation is canceled; they can do whatever they want!"
"Yes!"
The newcomer stood at attention and hurriedly blended back into the crowd.
