Chapter 1 Dragon Heart Island

Dragon Heart Island, the surrounding sea.

Thousands of ships were scattered around Dragon Heart Island's periphery. These ships uniformly had the mark of the Battle Blood Adventure Group printed on their sails. Every ship coming to and from Dragon Heart Island was subject to inspection by the Battle Blood Adventure Group. In addition, the entire Dragon Heart Island was enveloped by a Boundary Magic Array, making internal and external communication impossible, as well as preventing the use of any teleportation magic.

The entire Dragon Heart Island seemed to have become the Battle Blood Adventure Group's territory.

"Damn it! This Battle Blood Adventure Group is too ruthless. We're clearly not members of Azure Blade, but they still make us pay three magic crystals and twenty ancient silver coins to leave Dragon Heart Island!" A Level 114 Tier 2 Berserker, piloting a ship, glared furiously at the Battle Blood speedboat that was gradually moving away.

"Keep your voice down, they haven't gone far." A Level 120 Tier 3 young Elementalist, sitting on the speedboat with him, quickly covered the Berserker's mouth and quietly warned, "Currently, the entire Dragon Heart Island is under the control of the Battle Blood Adventure Group. Even those super forces have to act according to the Battle Blood Adventure Group's wishes. If we're targeted by them when we leave Dragon Heart Island to sell items, we'll be finished."

"I wonder how that Azure Blade Adventure Group offended Battle Blood. They're still investigating Azure Blade members to this day, arresting anyone they find and directly handing them over to those NPCs for imprisonment, not allowing those people to set foot on Dragon Heart Island." A nearby Level 117 Tier 2 Goddess Oracle, looking at the Battle Blood ship that was more than three hundred yards away, was also filled with curiosity.

"What else could it be? They just want to get the land around the World Tower that Azure Blade owns," the Tier 2 Berserker said dismissively. "Now, more and more treasures from the underground world are being discovered inside the World Tower, especially on the fourth level. It's just that the alien energy on the fourth level is too terrifying, and the cost of recovering through diet is too high. Only by resting in that special area around the World Tower can you recover quickly."

"Azure Blade bought a full five pieces of land, including the only large piece and a medium piece around the World Tower. How could Battle Blood, which wants to expand wildly, let go of this big piece of meat?"

"Indeed, the land around the World Tower is too popular now. It has even become a symbol for the major forces in Dragon Heart Island to develop the fourth level of the underground world. Now that the Battle Blood Adventure Group has destroyed Azure Blade, it will naturally not let go of these pieces of land. Arresting Azure Blade members is just to force the Azure Blade Guild Leader to submit," the only Tier 3 young Elementalist on the speedboat nodded in agreement. "It's just that it won't be easy to make Azure Blade submit. After all, as long as they have those five pieces of land, Azure Blade can be rebuilt at any time."

When the group spoke of the land around the World Tower, they were filled with longing.

You should know that before the people of Dragon Heart Island had set foot on the fourth level of the underground world, they didn't care much about the land around the World Tower.

Because those pieces of land were terribly expensive and not the central commercial street of Dragon Heart City, naturally no one wanted to buy them.

But now, that place has become the target that all the super forces in God's Domain want to seize.

In total, there are only 34 pieces of land around the World Tower, and even the local forces of Dragon Heart Island don't have enough to go around, let alone other foreign super forces.

The Azure Blade Adventure Group occupied five pieces of land, not to mention getting the best one, so how could this not drive the major super forces and Battle Blood crazy?

You should know that on the fourth level of the underground world, there is a place of inheritance for advancing to Tier 4!

However, just as this speedboat team was chatting, a sudden explosion came from not far away, the sound echoing for thousands of yards around, causing the surrounding players to look over.

They saw less than thirty players wearing black cloaks actually summoning two flying mounts. The two leading Tier 3 experts quickly joined forces to kill twenty Tier 3 experts from Battle Blood. Then, one of them jumped onto one of the flying mounts, each taking more than ten people, directly trying to break through the Battle Blood Adventure Group's encirclement.

"It's Azure Blade remnants!"

"Set up the formation! We absolutely can't let them escape!"

The surrounding members of the Battle Blood Adventure Group, seeing this scene, couldn't help but take action immediately.

Instantly, dozens of Battle Blood speedboats around the two flying mounts set up a sealing barrier, clearly having a plan for Azure Blade members doing this.

The two flying mounts, which had not yet ascended two hundred yards, were directly trapped in a magic barrier with a range of thousands of yards. The runes and magic arrays faintly revealed on the semi-transparent magic barrier showed that this was an advanced barrier magic array.

Even Tier 4 Legendary monsters would need a lot of time to break it from the inside, let alone Tier 3 players.

"Damn it!" The leading female knight, seeing this scene, had a look of unwillingness in her eyes. She then turned to the leading man, "Vice Guild Leader Shadow, what do we do now? We need at least two or three minutes to break this barrier. That's definitely enough time for Battle Blood to mobilize people."

Standing on the Floating Serpent, dressed in black, Shadow also frowned, clearly unprepared for this big move by the Battle Blood Adventure Group.

"There's no other way, let's fight it out. I'll activate burst mode in a moment. It shouldn't take a minute to break this barrier. When that time comes, I'll hold them back, and you find a way to leave here." Shadow, looking at the Battle Blood Adventure Group experts who were already rushing over, couldn't help but look at the female knight, Fan Muran. "Remember, even if only one of you leaves here, you must do so at all costs! This is the only hope for our Azure Blade!"

"Yes!" Fan Muran also had a solemn expression.

Now that Azure Blade had been disbanded, the Battle Blood Adventure Group on Dragon Heart Island was also hunting down their Azure Blade members on a large scale. If their Azure Blade wanted to survive, the only hope was to ask for help from the outside world. After all, she had the land deed in her hand. By spending a certain price, it wasn't impossible to invite a super guild from the outside world to help.

However, before Fan Muran could turn around to control the Floating Serpent and leave, she heard a deep voice echoing in the minds of all the Azure Blade members.

"Want to escape? It's not that easy!"

"Don't even think about leaving today!"

Before Shadow and Fan Muran could react, a figure appeared in front of them. This man was wearing a dark red magic robe, his eyes were also blood-red, and he was holding a blood-red wooden staff. The whole person gave off an indescribable eerie feeling.

And this eerie man, just standing in mid-air, made Shadow and the others feel a sense of oppression, as if everyone was carrying a mountain on their shoulders. The surrounding magical elements were constantly oppressing them.

"Cao Muyiqiu!" Shadow looked at this man, his eyes flashing with incomparable surprise. "How is this possible! Shouldn't you have led a team to the fourth level of the underground world?"

That's right, the eerie man in front of him was none other than the Vice Guild Leader of the Battle Blood Adventure Group, Cao Muyiqiu, and also Battle Blood's Tier 4 Magister, a terrifying existence that could destroy half an island with one strike.

It was precisely because of Cao Muyiqiu that the super guild Thirteen Thrones suffered a great loss, and in the end, had to choose to retreat.

Because Cao Muyiqiu used a single Tier 4 destruction magic to kill tens of thousands of Thirteen Thrones experts, destroying half of a small island. More than twenty Tier 3 experts died, and three peak experts who had mastered Domains were also killed. After this battle, Cao Muyiqiu's status as the number one person on Dragon Heart Island was established.

And their Azure Blade also knew that Cao Muyiqiu had gone to the fourth level of the underground world, and would definitely not be able to return in a short time, so they wanted to take the opportunity to escape from Dragon Heart Island.

But now...

"Hahaha, if I didn't go to the fourth level of the underground world, how would you remnants be willing to come out?" Cao Muyiqiu looked down at Shadow and the others, a sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Good calculation!" Shadow also clenched his fists, not expecting to fall for Cao Muyiqiu's trick. Looking at Cao Muyiqiu's gaze, he suddenly became cold. "We've always been opponents on Dragon Heart Island. This time, I want to see how strong you've become after advancing to Tier 4!"

Saying that, Shadow activated burst mode, and the aura on his body suddenly soared, completely reaching the level of a Tier 4 Legendary monster.

It could be said that purely based on the aura at this time, Shadow was completely not inferior to Cao Muyiqiu.

"Foolish!"

Cao Muyiqiu looked at Shadow, whose aura had greatly increased, and there was no change in his expression. Instead, he just waved his hand gently.

Instantly, before Shadow could react, more than a dozen blood-colored chains suddenly appeared in the void, directly trying to bind Shadow. Even though Shadow reacted extremely quickly and used Stealth to resist at the first moment, the chains still entangled Shadow, and Shadow was unable to break free for a while. On the contrary, he was getting weaker and weaker.

"How is this possible!" Fan Muran, who was on the side, was also dumbfounded.

Shadow was a peak expert who had mastered Domains in their Azure Blade Adventure Group. After activating burst mode, even if he wasn't an opponent for a Tier 4 class, he should be able to entangle for a while in theory.

But now, he was captured in an instant, which simply broke their understanding of Tier 4 classes.

"Hmph, you people simply don't know how big the gap between Tier 4 and Tier 3 is, let alone a Tier 4 Magister like me. Do you really think you can turn the world upside down in my hands?" Cao Muyiqiu glanced at the sluggish Fan Muran and said disdainfully, "Don't say one expert who has mastered Domains, even ten experts who have mastered Domains activating burst mode wouldn't be able to withstand two or three moves in my hands."

"Damn it! Damn it! Everyone commit suicide! We absolutely can't be caught by him!" Shadow also reacted immediately and quickly looked at Fan Muran and the others and said.

"Want to commit suicide? It's not that easy!" Cao Muyiqiu waved his staff.

Only to see blood-red chains in the void bind Fan Muran and the others completely, unable to move at all. The gap between the two sides was simply like giants and ants.

"How can a Tier 4 class be so strong?!"

At this time, Shadow, Fan Muran, and the others present were filled with disbelief as they looked at Cao Muyiqiu.

They had all watched the battle videos of Shi Feng in the Seat Competition. Although Tier 4 was strong, it wasn't impossible to fight against. But now, they had no ability to resist in Cao Muyiqiu's hands. The strength Cao Muyiqiu displayed was simply too much stronger than Shi Feng.

Just as Shadow and Fan Muran and the others had not recovered from the huge gap, the people from the Battle Blood Adventure Group also rushed over and captured everyone present.

"Alright, you hand them all over to those NPCs." Cao Muyiqiu looked at Shadow and the others and couldn't help but chuckle, "This time, we caught two big fish. I don't believe that Ziwei won't back down!"

"It's over! It's over! It's all over!" Shadow looked at the captured Azure Blade members and was also filled with despair. "This time, I've harmed you!"

Just because he got the wrong information, he launched this action, but now he has harmed everyone.

Being captured by NPCs, even if players forcefully log off, it's useless. Unless they can escape, they will be held captive for at least fifteen days.

Fifteen days will definitely cause everyone to leave the front lines of God's Domain.

However, just as Shadow felt a burst of despair and self-blame, a Gryphon slowly flew over from a distance. There were also four people sitting on the Gryphon, but the Azure Blade mark on the Gryphon was unusually conspicuous at this time.

"Another Azure Blade remnant? To be able to ride a Gryphon, it seems like another big fish." Cao Muyiqiu's mouth couldn't help but reveal a trace of joy when he saw this.

This scene also surprised Shadow and the others. They completely didn't understand why a Gryphon from Azure Blade would fly over from the outside world. However, thinking of Cao Muyiqiu's methods, everyone couldn't help but shout, wanting the people riding the Gryphon to escape quickly.

Although Tier 4 was strong, the flying speed couldn't compare to flying mounts. There was still a great hope of escaping with all their might.

"Escape? Do you think it's possible?"

Cao Muyiqiu directly used Teleportation and moved over, just like he did before to deal with Shadow and the others.

Even if a Tier 4 Magister uses a Tier 3 Teleportation, they can teleport to a place three thousand yards away in an instant. It's simply not comparable to when they were a Tier 3 Archmage.
