Chapter 1 The Compromise

Stone Peak's indifferent words echoed in the reception hall, making Wanxiang's expression increasingly unsightly, even bordering on fear, leaving the Senluo Pavilion's guard team completely stunned.

Who was Guild Master Wanxiang?

He was a man who stood at the pinnacle of the Storm Empire, someone who could easily decide the life and death of the various guilds in the Storm Empire with a single word. His own strength was also absolutely top-notch, a future leader who could lead Senluo Pavilion to become a hegemon in God's Domain!

But now…

Not only were the members of the Senluo Pavilion guard team surprised at this moment, but even Fire Dance and the others were astonished. Clearly, Wanxiang had been unhurried and calm even when he had been subdued earlier, but now he was afraid because of a few words from Stone Peak.

How could such a thing not be surprising?

"What exactly do you want?" Wanxiang looked at Stone Peak with some trepidation.

If he had previously regarded Stone Peak as merely a master who controlled a Domain, then from the moment Stone Peak said he was the opener of Thunder Axe City and possessed the Thunder Axe Crystal, Stone Peak became a monster who could truly shake Senluo Pavilion.

The matter of Thunder Axe City was not yet known to the public. Even within their Senluo Pavilion, only the guild's higher-ups and the experts who had been dispatched there knew the power of Thunder Axe City.

According to their understanding, Thunder Axe City had been open for more than ten days, while the major super forces had only discovered Thunder Axe City eight or nine days ago.

The thought that Stone Peak could use the Thunder Axe Crystal to send a large number of players into Thunder Axe City at any time, coupled with his status as the opener of Thunder Axe City, sent chills down one's spine.

The auction competition was mainly about epic-level resources, supplemented by experts.

Stone Peak and the others had already displayed amazing combat power. If that was coupled with these rich epic-level resources, the threat would be extraordinary, especially in the current first auction competition.

Meanwhile, the guild's higher-ups, such as Lei Yuan and Bi Lin, were also looking at Stone Peak with horrified expressions.

Originally, their Senluo Pavilion was happy that they had finally sent two or three hundred experts into Thunder Axe City, but it turned out that Stone Peak had opened Thunder Axe City...

"Senluo Pavilion is so powerful, what can we, a mere Zero Wing, do?" Stone Peak smiled and said calmly, "We came here merely to ask on behalf of Twilight Echo. Can Twilight Echo safely withdraw from the Storm Empire? Guild Master Wanxiang, you really shouldn't overthink things."

"Fine, for the sake of your Zero Wing, the matter of Twilight Echo ends here. As long as Twilight Echo leaves the Storm Empire, our Senluo Pavilion will not target Twilight Echo in the future," Wanxiang glared at Stone Peak and agreed through gritted teeth.

Faced with Zero Wing, which had opened Thunder Axe City early on, and the existence of experts like Fire Dance, even the current Senluo Pavilion was not confident that it could completely defend Storm City. After all, the epic-level resources contained within Thunder Axe City were too terrifying.

If the auction house in Storm City was taken away, the impact on their Senluo Pavilion would be too great. Moreover, even if Zero Wing could not seize Storm City, it would affect their Senluo Pavilion's plan to seize the auction houses of other cities.

As the guild leader, he could not possibly ruin the grand plan for Senluo Pavilion's future development for the sake of dealing with the small matter of Twilight Echo. Moreover, he vaguely felt that Zero Wing's trump cards were probably more than just that. Of course, this was just his guess. After all, being able to open Thunder Axe City was already shocking enough. He really could not think of anything that would be more impressive than this.

The members of the Senluo Pavilion guard team were all gaping at Wanxiang's words, unable to believe that such a thing would come from Wanxiang's mouth.

"Just who is this Black Flame?"

Everyone was filled with curiosity about Stone Peak. With just a few words, he had made Guild Master Wanxiang compromise. If such a thing were to spread throughout the Storm Empire, probably no one would believe it.

One must know that the dignified super-first-rate guild, Nine Star Families, had been driven out of the Storm Empire. How could a guild from a kingdom make Guild Master Wanxiang yield?

"Guild Master Wanxiang is indeed enlightened. If there is nothing else, we will take our leave," Stone Peak smiled slightly, then stood up and led Fire Dance and the others out of the messy reception room.

As for the matter of competing for the Storm City auction house, Stone Peak had not even considered it from the very beginning. He was just trying to intimidate Wanxiang.

Currently, there were a lot of things going on in White River City. With Zero Wing's existing experts and resources, they could only compete for one place. It was just that Wanxiang did not know this.

Thunder Axe City had very rich epic-level resources, but Thunder Axe City had only been open for more than ten days. The number of players gathered there was still too small to unleash the true potential of Thunder Axe City. Moreover, Wanxiang placed too much emphasis on the identity of the opener and did not even know that even with a two-star blacksmith shop, the epic-level resources currently collected from Thunder Axe City could not compare to the daily harvest from guild team instances.

If Wanxiang knew about this, he would definitely vomit blood and insist on fighting them to the death.

As Stone Peak led Fire Dance out of the reception room door, the Senluo Pavilion members guarding the gate also opened the way at Wanxiang's instruction, allowing Stone Peak and the others to leave.

It was not until Stone Peak and the others had completely left the guild's mansion that Bi Lin and the others turned their attention to Guild Master Wanxiang.

"Guild Master, are we really going to leave Twilight Echo alone?" Bi Lin asked, "This matter will definitely spread throughout the entire Storm Empire by then."

"Let it spread if it spreads. Anyway, we can't keep today's events a secret," Wanxiang rubbed his temples, feeling very troubled. "I really didn't expect that the Thunder Axe City that caused a sensation among the major super forces was actually opened by Zero Wing. There will probably be some trouble in God's Domain for the next period of time. From now on, you should also go and prepare yourself."

"Yes!" Bi Lin nodded, fully understanding the meaning of this.

Originally, they thought that the first auction competition was just a game for these super forces, but now that Zero Wing had suddenly emerged, it would definitely disrupt the original plans of the major super forces.

Probably no one would have thought that the current situation in God's Domain would be changed by Zero Wing.

As Stone Peak and the others left Storm City, even if Senluo Pavilion did not want to, the various forces of the Storm Empire had infiltrated Senluo Pavilion. Information about Senluo Pavilion giving up on dealing with Twilight Echo quickly spread to the ears of the major forces of the Storm Empire.

"What? Senluo Pavilion gave up on dealing with Twilight Echo? How is that possible?"

"Just who is this Zero Wing?"

For a time, the entire Storm Empire was shocked by this matter.

The dignified Senluo Pavilion actually announced that it would give up targeting Twilight Echo for the sake of Zero Wing. Everyone was filled with curiosity about this guild.

This matter also quickly spread to Chaotic Wind City, where Twilight Echo was currently located.

"What did you say? Senluo Pavilion has given up on dealing with us because of Zero Wing, and the troops dealing with us have all been withdrawn?" Cang Ming was stunned when he heard the information from his subordinates, completely unable to believe that it was true.
