Purple Jade's eyes flashed with shock as she stared at Shi Feng slowly walking over to them .
Currently, even the highest-leveled player in the Secret Pavilion was only Level 42 . Moreover, that person was the Pavilion's famous leveling maniac, who was also the number one player on the Fire Wing Empire's Ranking List, Sleepless Star .
However, aside from Sleepless Star's personal strength, the reason he managed to come out on top in the Fire Wing Empire was the resources the Secret Pavilion supplied him with .
Yet, Shi Feng, a member of Zero Wing's upper echelon who was frequently busy dealing with Guild affairs, had actually managed to reach Level 44 .
This was truly inconceivable .
However, rather than Shi Feng's level, what surprised Purple Jade the most was the danger she picked up from him .
Moreover, her alarm bells rang increasingly louder, the closer Shi Feng got to her .
"What a terrifying monster . " Yuan Tiexin was much more experienced than Purple Jade, so he could tell very clearly just how much Shi Feng had improved since they last met . Smiling bitterly, he could not help shaking his head as he said, "Jade, it seems it will be impossible for you to test Ye Feng's bottom line this time . Right now, he is no longer just strong . His strength is already at an entirely different level from ours . "
Previously, when Yuan Tiexin had met Shi Feng, the latter had contained his aura exceptionally well—proof that the youth's control over his body had already reached a realm of perfection . However, this time, Shi Feng failed to contain his aura that well when he moved .
What did this mean?
The only explanation for this was that Shi Feng's power was so strong that even an expert like himself could not adapt to it properly . Hence, he was unable to contain his aura completely .
When Purple Jade heard this, disappointment flashed across her eyes .
In reality, her purpose in following Yuan Tiexin to Stone Forest Town this time was so that she could spar with Shi Feng and hopefully learn some of his techniques . However, if the gap in strength was too wide, Shi Feng could easily defeat her even without utilizing any profound techniques . With this, rather than a spar, she would simply be asking for a beating .
"Uncle Yuan, may I know why you have come looking for me this time?" Shi Feng asked unhurriedly .
Truthfully, he already knew why the Secret Pavilion had come looking for him .
With the popularity of Stone Forest Town's Battle Arena right now, even a transcendental power like the Secret Pavilion would not be able to sit still and do nothing .
Currently, Stone Forest Town's development was still in its early stages . Aside from its geographical advantage, which allowed players to save up on travel time, it did not possess any actual advantage over other towns; this made it very difficult for the town to turn a profit and attract players .
Establishing a money-making venture like the Battle Arena to draw players to the town represented a much more advanced business model .
Only, operating a successful Battle Arena would be very difficult without the Magic Tower .
"The Secret Pavilion wishes to conduct a trade with Zero Wing," Yuan Tiexin said as he retrieved a prepared contract from his bag . He then handed the contract over to Shi Feng and said, "The conditions stated inside are definitely what Zero Wing wants the most right now . Meanwhile, what the Secret Pavilion wants in exchange is the Magic Tower Design . "
"What Zero Wing wants most?" Shi Feng could not help but take a curious look at the contract .
After spending several minutes to scan through the contract, Shi Feng realized that it was indeed just a simple trade .
In summary, the Secret Pavilion would provide a kingdom for Zero Wing to develop in so that it could avoid annihilation by the Blackwater Guild . Meanwhile, all Zero Wing needed to do was hand over the Magic Tower Design to the Secret Pavilion . The contract had other minor conditions, but that was basically the long and short of it .
"This is the condition that the Secret Pavilion is offering?" Shi Feng asked strangely after he was done reading the contract .
Although Zero Wing's foundation was not comparable to the Blackwater Guild's, the current Zero Wing was no trifling opponent . It would not be so easy for Blackwater to remove Zero Wing from Star-Moon Kingdom . It was especially true now that Stone Forest Town had the Magic Tower .
Shi Feng truly could not understand why the Secret Pavilion held such an optimistic view of Blackwater's prospects .
However, the Secret Pavilion's information gathering was matchless in the virtual gaming world . Since the Pavilion was so assured of Blackwater's victory, it definitely had reasons to believe so . Shi Feng just did not know what those reasons were .
"That's right . This is the condition the Secret Pavilion is offering . This is a trade that will bring only good and no harm to Zero Wing," Yuan Tiexin said determinedly . "I understand what you are thinking: it is impossible for Zero Wing to lose . But what will you think after looking at this?"
Saying so, Yuan Tiexin sent a few video recordings to Shi Feng .
Shi Feng promptly clicked to view the videos .
And he was stunned when the first video started playing . "This is…"
The video had been recorded from the top of a mountain using a Magic Mirror . Meanwhile, the location displayed was none other than Black Ridge Town, which the video showed as being infested with monsters that were Level 50 and above . There were even Level 60 and above Lords and Great Lords among them, as well as the one-horned humanoid monsters that Shi Feng was extremely familiar with . Only, there was a huge disparity between the numbers of these humanoid monsters shown in the video and the report he received from his subordinates .
Previously, there had only been several hundred humanoid monsters residing in the town . Now, however, there were over 4,000 of them . Moreover, a few of these humanoid monsters had even reached Level 60 already, their HPs breaching thirty million—equivalent to a Level 60 Great Lord—and there were actually five of them .
The development speed of these monsters made even Shi Feng shudder .
Aside from these monsters, Shi Feng could also vaguely make out a figure wearing a Black Cloak .
Meanwhile, the next few videos showed a mysterious cloaked person conversing with Blackwater's Guild Leader, Abandoned Wave . Unfortunately, as the person recording these videos had been too far away, the video did not include the contents of their conversation . However, the appearance of this mysterious person was somewhat similar to the figure wearing a Black Cloak in Black Ridge Town .
"Are you trying to say that these monsters are under the Blackwater Guild's control?" Shi Feng asked Yuan Tiexin .
"That's right . Although we're not sure what kind of relationship the two possess, those monsters should support Blackwater's overall direction . Moreover, just recently, we've also received news that Blackwater has secretly joined hands with Pantheon . Knowing this, how long do you think Zero Wing will be able to hold on? Moreover, the longer this stalemate lasts, the more disadvantageous it will be for Zero Wing . After all, those monsters are simply developing too quickly," Yuan Tiexin said earnestly .
Not to mention Zero Wing, even the Secret Pavilion might not be able to hold off all those monsters .
The Common beast-type monsters might be manageable, but those one-horned humanoid monsters were a different story . They possessed not only very high combat standards but also similarly high intelligence . It would already be very troublesome dealing with one of those humanoid monsters at the Level 50 Lord standard, let alone a Level 60 Great Lord .
With five of these Great Lords leading them, the 4,000-plus humanoid monsters could easily flatten a player town . What was more, there was still the endless horde of beast-type monsters . This was a force that current players simply could not contend with .
In addition, the Blackwater Guild had its own forces . Combined with the monster army, Blackwater was practically invincible in Star-Moon Kingdom . The only way out for Zero Wing right now was to shift its base of operations to another location . Avoiding a confrontation with Blackwater was the best option .
