Outside Fireblade City, Liu Zhi sat in a carriage while Alex and his men guarded him and his party. It was clear that Alex's side had stepped up their protection this time.
The troops he brought along as decoration now carried weapons that looked much more polished, immediately drawing the attention of some people outside Fireblade City.
For Liu Zhi, perhaps more than a year had passed.
But for the residents of Fireblade City, perhaps only a week had gone by.
The last time Liu Zhi came, he had destroyed all hope for an entire guild. It was fair to say that he had made the whole city remember him.
Now Liu Zhi had returned. He looked much the same, but his strength had clearly improved. The last time he had come, he had been nothing more than an ordinary player.
This time, however, Liu Zhi had reached Legendary rank. He could now enter and leave Fireblade City freely, no longer questioned by ordinary guards.
He could also claim a certain standing in Fireblade City. If he wanted to establish a Player Guild, he could apply right away, as well as apply for a territory of his own.
Of course, Liu Zhi had no such plans at the moment. He had come to Fireblade City this time because of the Ghost Domain.
Since no one stopped him this time, Liu Zhi simply had Alex drive the carriage into the Ghost Domain.
Once inside, Liu Zhi asked a passerby for directions and made his way to the heart of Fireblade City, a place called the Rageflame Rift.
It lay somewhere beneath Fireblade City. A path led down through a black valley, where there was an underground base belonging exclusively to Fireblade City.
Once inside, Liu Zhi saw a huge wooden lift.
