Collective Breakthrough to Master Rank, Lord Haidesen!
After hesitating for a moment, the Chongfu reached to his waist and pulled out a specially made animal skin pouch.
A look of heartache flashed in his eyes, as if he was very reluctant to part with it.
The man in the trench coat didn't urge him; he simply stood quietly and waited.
A moment later, the Chongfu gritted his teeth and handed the bag to him. "Hmph, take stock of it."
"If there are no problems, hand over the intelligence."
"Tell me everything about Shen Xing's strength, as well as the strength of the other top experts from your Blue Star World who made the list."
The man in the trench coat weighed the bag in his hand and casually said, "Checked, the quantity is correct."
"However..." he paused, then said calmly, "I feel that your Red Sand World's sincerity seems somewhat lacking."
Upon hearing this, the Chongfu's expression immediately changed.
This guy is back again, and he gave the same excuse last time!
After taking the goods, they claimed their sincerity was insufficient and demanded more resources, acting like an insatiable wolf!
"Blue Star people, our patience is limited." The Chongfu stared at him menacingly. "You'd better think carefully about the price of backing out."
"Heh..." The man in the trench coat chuckled. "It's not that I want to back out, it's just that you weren't prepared to conduct a proper transaction in the first place."
"Otherwise, what are you trying to do by arranging several Master Rank, and even a Grandmaster Rank expert, nearby?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of panic flashed in the Chongfu's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Stop talking nonsense!" he said, forcing a smile. "I didn't arrange for anyone else to be nearby. You're just making up an excuse because you want to back out again."
The man in the trench coat didn't speak, but just stared at him quietly, a glint of light appearing in his dark eyes, as if he could see right through him.
"Your perception is quite remarkable."
Seeing that it could no longer be concealed, a weathered voice came from within the mist.
Immediately afterwards, several figures carrying lanterns slowly walked over from a distance.
The leader was an elderly man with half-white hair, wearing a white robe.
His aura was barely perceptible, reaching a level of simplicity and authenticity, clearly indicating that he was a Grandmaster Realm expert.
"Being able to sense my presence, it seems you are no ordinary Master."
The old man slowly spoke, "However, I am somewhat curious, knowing that I was hiding nearby, why did you still come out to trade with him?"
"Aren't you afraid I'll capture you and torture you to extract a confession?"
"Or do you have a way to deal with the Grandmaster Realm expert?"
The man in the trench coat still wore a faint smile, "I don't have the means to deal with the Grandmaster Realm expert. I just think that the lords of the Red Sand World are all honest people and would never do such a thing."
The old man was taken aback by this answer. "You really think so?"
"Real."
"Hahaha, good!" the old man laughed. "You're right. We people of the Red Sand World live under three suns, and we act with integrity. How could we do such a thing?"
"Since that's the case, then please, young friend, spill everything you know!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out his large hand, and endless red sand gushed out, swirling towards the man in the trench coat.
"Wait." The man in the trench coat raised his hand, a dangerous aura emanating from him. "Don't rush to attack, or I'll self-destruct right now."
"..." The old man paused, looking puzzled. "Are you kidding me? Threatening us with self-destruction?"
"Yes, I can't handle Grandmaster, so I can only threaten you with self-destruction."
The man in the trench coat shrugged and explained, "After all, I'm the only Blue Star lord who's ventured into your Red Sand World's territory. If I die, you'll lose your means of obtaining intelligence."
The group exchanged glances, each noticing the strange look in the other's eyes.
"Heh..." The old man sneered, "Trying to threaten us with such methods? Do you think that's possible?"
"Go ahead and self-destruct if you dare. We'll just forgo the information on Blue Star and defeat you directly in the Myriad Worlds Arena; it'll be the same!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand again, and a cloud of red sand swirled up!
"Wait," the man in the trench coat said hurriedly, "I have very important information here. You really don't want to know?"
"I don't want to," the old man replied decisively, his movements without the slightest hesitation. "Die!"
"Shen Xing, who's ranked number one, is only at the Expert Rank."
The deep voice of the man in the trench coat rang out, carrying through the red sand and echoing all around.
At that moment, the old man paused, and the red sand stopped in mid-air.
Several other Master also stood there, stunned.
Clearly, this news had a huge impact on them.
"You... are you telling the truth?" the old man asked incredulously, "That Shen Xing only has Expert Rank strength?"
"Absolutely true," the man in the trench coat said calmly. "Moreover, this is just one piece of important intelligence; I Control even more astonishing information."
"For example, don't you want to know about the abilities of the three SSS-level talents, as well as the abilities of other SS-level talents?"
After he finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.
After a moment, the old man raised his head and replied coldly, "Speak, what do you want?"
"We have already given you enough resources. If you continue to make exorbitant demands, we will not agree."
Upon hearing this, the man in the trench coat gradually broke into a smile, and the hand hidden under his coat loosened slightly.
"Don't worry, I don't want any other resources. I just want to make a deal with you."
A moment later, the group of figures sat on the ruins, each keeping a distance from the others.
As they listened to the man in the trench coat speak eloquently, expressions of surprise, shock, and realization frequently flashed across their eyes.
They didn't end the conversation until half an hour later.
At this moment, everyone in the Red Sand World stood still, silently watching the figure walk into the mist.
Only after the other person's aura had completely dissipated did the young man finally ask, "Elder Zoushi... are we really not going to capture this person?"
A hint of hesitation appeared in the eyes of the old man in the crowd.
After a moment, he shook his head and said, "This person possesses too much and too important information; he must be a high-ranking figure from the Blue Star World."
"He's right. If we kill him, we won't be able to obtain this information, which would be a great loss to the Red Sand World."
"Besides... he can't leave this continental fragment anyway. To us, he's like a turtle in a jar, something we can control at any time."
The young man nodded in realization and stopped mentioning killing the other person.
"Alright, let's release the news."
The old man slowly withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Then notify those major powers and reveal some information."
"If they want the complete intelligence, they should exchange it for resources."
The young man paused slightly, seemingly realizing something, and nodded respectfully. "Yes, Elder!"
On this day, the entire Red Sand World learned of an astonishing piece of news!
Shen Xing, who topped the leaderboard and crushed the Sand Lord with 140 million points, was actually just an Expert Rank lord.
All the lords were dumbfounded.
Many people even subconsciously felt that the news was fake, a rumor spread by someone.
This is simply unbelievable.
But soon, the largest Sand Eagle Family in the Red Sand World, as well as the princess of the Red Rock Royal Capital, came forward to confirm the authenticity of the news.
For a moment, everyone was stunned into silence.
What followed was an unprecedented ecstasy!
Shen Xing, whom they originally regarded as their number one enemy, turned out to be just an Expert Rank lord.
This shows that the opponent was able to take the top spot on the leaderboard not because of their own strength, but by using some special means.
Great! With that, what's there to worry about?
The current Red Sand World not only surpasses Blue Star in the number of powerful individuals.
Among the top experts, they also have an unprecedented advantage.
They couldn't even imagine how they could possibly lose when they had such a complete advantage.
In an instant, the entire Red Sand World was in a state of excitement, and everyone's confidence soared!
The Blue Star World was unaware of all this.
Society is still immersed in the joy of the first time that all nations of the Blue Star have united together, and the whole world is jubilant.
And in Jiangcheng, on the top floor of a building in the city center.
A group of people quickly gathered together and held an emergency meeting.
Chapter 293: The Master Collective Breakthrough, Lord Haidesen!
The day after the Blood Mist Frenzy ended, in the afternoon.
Shen Xing leisurely sat in his wheelchair and arrived at the open space in the eastern district of the territory.
"My lord, the construction is now complete!"
Hellscream respectfully reported, standing alongside the other heroes.
Shen Xing looked around and saw a blue band of light appear at the edge of the firelight, enclosing his and Xia Wanyin's territory.
Within the light screen, sections of the city wall could be vaguely seen being rapidly constructed.
The construction time for a level 1 city wall is not long; even if it is allowed to upgrade automatically, it will only take a few hours to complete.
"Okay, everyone should go back and rest first."
Shen Xing nodded and instructed, "Once these city walls are completed, upgrade them directly to level 2, level 3, and all the way up to level 5 Wall of Chaos."
"Then build 10 arrow towers every 100 meters along the edge of the city wall."
"Upgrade these arrow towers to 5 Cold Ice Arrow Tower, 3 Lightning Arrow Tower, and 2 Chaos Arrow Tower."
This was something he had planned in advance.
This combination provides slowing effects, area-of-effect attacks, and the Chaos Arrow Tower, a trump card capable of killing Tier Four powerhouses, making it quite versatile.
Moreover, building these arrow towers doesn't require too many resources.
After all, the new city wall is only 16 kilometers in diameter, and if it were completely covered, there would only be 1,600 arrow towers.
