City of Light .

To begin with, the foot traffic at the City of Light was far greater than any other city . But now, it was 10 times as crowded! The streets were bustling with people as everyone headed to the same place .
“Phew, 10 days of hard training . I finally made it out of that darn map . ” Zheng Ziliang, the Contract Summoner Innocent Killer, was shaking his head as he walked with great strides . He had proudly set his Mechanical Gargoyle to follow him behind, displaying his power .
Mechanical Gargoyle no longer had a bare appearance . It now had thick heavy armor, its claws were much longer and sharper, and there were two additional revolving devices mounted on its shoulders, which increased its strength by more than 30%! The most powerful part was its wing area . There were two elemental launchers, which could not only shoot Elemental Magic like a Mage, but they could also release energy to boost its flying speed .
After farming countless precious materials from the Level 50 map [Fallen Mechanical City], learning to forge and inlay them, then passing it on to a High-Level Blacksmith, Enchant Master, and Engineer, this masterpiece was created! Now, the Mechanical Gargoyle was two times as big as its old body! Two times!
Ever since Lin Jie had entered the Blade Peak Canyon, the members of Savage Blade had all been completing their own missions and exploring various maps to increase their strength!
‘Why isn’t there any girl looking at me with admiration and asking for me to help them level up? Although I won’t say yes, there should be no problem making a new friend…’ Zheng Ziliang realized that he was being ignored by countless passersby .
He grabbed a Hunter, who was running by, and asked, “Bro, where are you rushing off to?”
“Don’t bother me…” The Hunter shook off his arm in annoyance . However, the moment he saw the dark gold glow on Zheng Ziliang’s body, his expression immediately changed . He smiled and said, “Don’t you know? The recently famous Xuanyuan Alliance is holding an extremely large open auction . They are preparing to occupy an entire map! They’ve invited all players to help out for 10 gold coins per person! Who wouldn’t want the money? I’m rushing there early in case they run out of vacancies . ”
“Where is it held?”
“I think it’s at the Frozen Tundra…”
“Thanks . ”
Zheng Ziliang was shocked . Frozen Tundra was a Level 55 map with large numbers of Frost Tigers, and Frost Snowman spawned there . However, these monsters all fought alone, which was why players that were capable liked to level up there as a group . Now, the ones who were leveling up at Frozen Tundra were none other than Supreme Tribe! Baili Changcheng’s guild had stood up to go against Xuanyuan Alliance, which was why they were being suppressed badly . Every low-leveled map was wiped clean, leaving them no room to survive .

As such, Supreme Tribe could only form teams and train in Frozen Tundra .
‘That fellow is really trying to suppress Baili’s guild to death . An open auction? Isn’t this the same as challenging the City of Light and flaunting his wealth?’ Zheng Ziliang was anxious and sent the news to the other members immediately, especially Lin Jie, who he sent 10 messages to . Then, he summoned his mount and rushed over to Frozen Tundra! No matter what, he had to help the Supreme Tribe .
Frozen Tundra!
The sky full of snowflakes descended, casting the entire ground into a silver-white color . There were large tigers with thick fur roaming around . Suddenly, one of them stepped into the void and fell into the trap! Immediately after, a group of people appeared from all directions with bows, arrows, and fire guns . They bombarded the tiger with attacks and killed it in a while, without breaking a sweat .
“The boss’ method is so smart!”
“That’s right, we would’ve been bitten to death by the tigers a few days ago . These are elite monsters . ”
“Who would have thought of digging a trap to fight against monsters? After all, everybody’s mindset was already set a long time ago . Hahaha, this feels amazing! Unfortunately, we can’t pick up the battle drops . What a shame . ”
The members of the Supreme Tribe were all discussing happily . Under Baili Changcheng’s commands, they made use of explosives and weapons to dig up many traps, making the supposed difficult battles much easier . Although it took a lot of time to dig the traps, it was much safer, which was the most important thing . When leveling up at Frozen Tundra, there were many players that were killed by the Level 50 elite tigers in one bite .
Baili Changcheng casually sat on the floor . His eyes were glued to the entrance of Frozen Canyon .
‘Xuanyuan is sending people to clear Frozen Tundra to hold an open auction? If that’s the case, there is no need to send over so many normal players . I’ve also received news that many real-life business partners would be coming to the scene . This auction will definitely cause a huge commotion in the game world, and everyone will know the Xuanyuan Alliance’s power . At that time, our Brotherhood will have an even harder time! No matter what, we’ll have to wait until Lin Jie is back . God damn it, it’s really uncomfortable having to rely on someone else!’ Baili Xuanyuan took a closer look, and his eyes turned cold . ‘They’re here!’
At the Entrance of Frozen Tundra, crowds of people arrived! The sounds of the horses were loud as thunder, and snow was sent flying everywhere in the entire Frozen Tundra!

However, there were simply too many of them… Those bunch of black crowds looked just like dark clouds!
There were over tens of thousands of people in the Xuanyuan Alliance’s army! These were not only the players within the alliance but also normal players that had come following behind in order to take advantage of the situation and earn 10 gold coins . Baili Xuanyuan was preparing to hold an open auction . How could he not give a good display of his strength before that?
Those that were present were not only the Three Alliances and the second-rate guilds in the City of Light . There were also the guilds Never Setting Sun from Sunshine City, Vampire City from the City of Evening Mist, Overrun The Four Seas from the City of Clouds, and more . It was a gathering of heroes!
These were the people the Xuanyuan Alliance had bought off . The reason for this open auction was one, to capture the hearts of the people since Xuanyuan Alliance had been way too arrogant and had to appease the normal players, and two, to gather his forces and take over the city!
As for the third reason, it was just a calculative move by Baili Xuanyuan to destroy his nephew’s Supreme Tribe along the way .
“They’re coming! Brothers, get ready!”
With Baili Changcheng’s command, all of the members of Supreme Tribe turned serious! In the Northwind, there stood 1,000 resolute silhouettes . That’s right, Supreme Tribe, which initially had over 5,000 players, had been reduced to this after fighting against Xuanyuan Alliance for so long—countless players had left after losing morale from being killed on a daily basis . Now, there were only 1,000 members left .
“Wahahaha, fighting against enemies who outnumber us by 10 times, should I film this into a movie? How magnificent!”
“Shut up, let’s start with the traps we have set up! We’ve been in Frozen Tundra for so long, and it won’t be for nothing!”
“Brotherhood will send reinforcements . Everyone, do your best!”
Everyone raised their weapons and prepared to welcome their enemies!
Just as the army from Xuanyuan Alliance was rushing into the tundra, a horse’s loud painful cry sounded . A white horse had its leg blown off instantly, and a wave of flames was shooting out from the frozen ground, heading towards the rider of the horse! On top of that, the ground exploded, and a bottomless pit appeared . When the Knight fell in, he could only feel his stomach clench . Below, there were arrow traps and snake traps inside, immediately attacking him . He suffered tons of damage and was killed instantly!
“Explosive traps, arrow traps, and snake traps? They’re nothing but small tricks . ” Baili Xuanyuan waved his hand without being bothered, and shouted, “Dear brothers, is anyone willing to sacrifice themselves?”
“Me!”
“I’ll do it!”
Countless people’s eyes lit up, and they all rushed ahead after removing their equipment! They would be compensated with 30 gold coins if they died during the period of the open auction . This was a great bargain! Since the levels of normal players were not high, getting 30 gold coins in exchange for one death would allow them to live comfortably for a month . Second-rate guilds, which could not wait to flatter Baili Xuanyuan, naturally rushed ahead as well .
In that instant, the traps were triggered one after another .
“Continue to move forward!”
Baili Xuanyuan commanded, and his army rushed towards the thousands of people in the center of the tundra!
The predators had entered the preys’ nest .
“Darn it… Brothers, use Ice skills, and help me!” Baili Changcheng roared, and ice crystal blades stabbed into the ground . “Ice Control, Ice Roar!”
Whoosh—
The snowflakes in the sky were drawn and floated down towards Baili Changcheng . The 1,000 players behind him immediately used Ice skills as well . Frostbolt, Ice Rain, Ice Blade Aura… the Ice skills shot towards the sky, freezing the area!
The snowflakes slowly gathered to form the appearance of a huge Goddess of Ice .
Ice Roar was a big Ice Control skill with up to 24 hours of cooldown time! It could deal 150% damage to all enemies within a radius of 300 yards, with a chance of causing them to freeze, which would activate once every 2 seconds for 20 seconds! If lucky, he could freeze an enemy for 20 seconds straight and deal up to 1,500% damage!
Also, the skill had an “enshrined” effect, where the ice terrain increased the chance of causing freeze by 10% . On top of that, whenever Ice skills that were a lower grade than Ice Roar were used, they would be absorbed by Ice Roar and rendered useless . With every skill absorbed, the chances of freezing the opponents increased .
“Come, Ice Roar!”
Baili Changcheng roared, and the snowflakes gathered into icicles . Thousands of icicles were instantly sent attacking towards the Xuanyuan Alliance!
Baili Xuanyuan laughed coldly . “Z, it’s up to you . ”
“Hahaha, just nice . I’ve attained the fourth whirlwind and have nowhere to display it . ” Character Z laughed . Wind gathered around his Spirit Blade, and four whirlwinds appeared! With a slash, a faint wind wall appeared in front . It was the effect of the fourth whirlwind of the Seven Spinning Slash, summoning a 3×3 yards wind wall, which could block all magic damage that was not Wind Magic .
“Hmph, how can a Dark Gold Mystic Skill Book compete with me? The Nine Great Techniques are far more powerful . It’s not something the likes of you can experience . ” Character Z moved at a great speed, and the wind wall followed his body, blocking tons of damage .
The damage of Ice Roar was powerful, but 1/3 of it was blocked by the fourth whirlwind . The remaining icicles were also blocked by countless Shield Specialists and Protection Paladins . Along with the healing of Priests, the big move only killed less than 10 people!
“This…” Baili Changcheng’s pupils constricted, and horror was written all over his face .
“You little bastard of the Baili family, why can’t you understand? Once you stand on the wrong side, you are doomed forever . It’s funny how you are still stubbornly resisting . Let me give you some advice after I kill you, delete your account and restart . Hide your name and join the Xuanyuan Alliance in case you make a mess in the game and end up losing your assets in real-life too . ”
Character Z’s Movement Speed was extremely fast . Within 10 seconds, he closed a distance of 100 yards . He was much faster than a Knight! He smiled as his sword danced in the air, piercing towards Baili’s neck!
