Eastern Region!

Above a vast plain in the Eastern Region, more than two hundred figures appeared. All of them were elite members of the Mercenary Guild who had come from the Central Region.

Leading them were the Mercenary Guild's president, Liu Ling, and its protector, Xiao Yi Xian.

Although Xiao Yi Xian currently held only the position of protector within the Mercenary Guild, most of its elders knew that aside from the president, this protector held the greatest authority in the guild.

Moreover, some of the core elders knew that Xiao Yi Xian was actually the strongest person in the entire Mercenary Guild—a peak four-star Dou Zun who had undergone four rounds of Dou Qi compression and tempering.

"Senior Brother, I heard that the Gu Clan's forces are entrenched in the Eastern Region," Xiao Yi Xian suddenly said, turning to Liu Ling.

"It's fine. We're only developing the guild; we aren't affecting them in any way. Are they really going to come looking for trouble?" Liu Ling shook his head.

The Ancient Realm, an independent space inhabited by the Gu Clan, was located in the Eastern Region of the Central Plains. In that region, nearly the vast majority of forces could be considered subordinate branches of the Gu Clan. Of course, even the leaders of some of those forces were extremely unfamiliar with the supreme ruler of the Eastern Region.

The only thing they knew was that this emperor-like existence possessed terrifying strength. To survive in the vast, boundless Eastern Region of the Central Plains, having the label of a Gu Clan subordinate force over one's head was, after all, a fairly effective talisman against death.

The Gu Clan was a mysterious and powerful race passed down from ancient times to the present. They possessed talents that ordinary people could only envy.
