In this regard, the War God Hall had clearly taken notice!
It was precisely based on this premise that during the recent siege in the Elf Forest, the War God Hall did not deploy its main forces. Important members from various Guilds also refrained from showing their faces, merely putting on a facade that hinted at a performance.
The War God Hall was not foolish; they understood that this situation was advantageous for them!
Stationed in Xiliang City, the War God Hall was one of the few Guilds not fully embroiled in various disputes. Since the King had begun to monitor their movements and taken action, the War God Hall naturally would retaliate, even if it was just for show against Mist of Time.
The King feared Mist of Time, which led to constant targeting of them. Conversely, Mist of Time also kept the King in check; as long as Mist of Time remained in Southern Wilderness City, they could restrain many of King's Guild's forces, thus providing opportunities for the War God Hall.
At the very least, upon realizing that the King was watching them, the War God Hall should have come to this understanding.
Liu Yuhan had once been a core member of King's Studio. As King's Guild leaned toward the War God Hall and seized opportunities for growth, both sides were well aware of how they had treated each other, including Zeng Jian.
With this foundation established, it became possible for the King to retaliate against the War God Hall after rising to power!
Moreover, it was evident that this notion had already taken root in the mind of War God Hall's President, Rebellious Blood Blade. The King was no longer the obedient ally they once were but rather a fierce tiger that had broken free from its cage. Perhaps a more explosive description could be used—
Revenge!
Now, with such a rift between the War God Hall and the King, although they still appeared to be close allies on the surface, in reality, they had grown estranged and would no longer cooperate with sincerity as they once did.
In summary, stirring up this murky water were two major forces—
One was the clear competition among Righteousness Above All, Supreme Alliance, and Divine Silence; the other was the covert struggle still ongoing between the War God Hall and the King.
When these two forces clashed, opportunities arose!
As strong powers contended with one another, various smaller factions caught in the cracks between these titans naturally found a chance to breathe. If they did not seize this fortuitous moment to grow stronger now, then when would they?
As night fell, Southern Wilderness City remained brightly lit.
Walking alone on the cobblestone streets, Yi Tianchen assessed the current situation from all angles. After discussing with Liu Yuhan and other Guild members, he ultimately decided to take a risky move, which could also turn out to be a brilliant strategy; it all depended on how well he managed it.
In the System Tavern, in a VIP room!
The Brotherhood of Loyalty had been puzzled ever since their collaboration with Mist of Time began. It seemed they were always at a disadvantage. However, today was different; they received an unexpected invitation from First Person for a meeting in a private room at the tavern.
Upon arrival, they found only Yi Tianchen inside the room.
"It’s a rare honor to be invited by First Person!" Brotherhood of Loyalty said politely. "But may I ask why First Person was so eager to summon us here?"
"Come in and talk!"
Yi Tianchen chuckled and gestured for them to enter. Besides Brotherhood of Loyalty, there were also several brothers and sisters from their first gathering. This was something Yi Tianchen had emphasized when making the early arrangements, clearly indicating that he had something significant to discuss with the Brotherhood Alliance.
"First Person, please speak your mind!" said the straightforward swordsman.
"Alright!"
Yi Tianchen's tone turned serious as he instinctively scanned the expressions of those present. He spoke ominously, "Hasn't the Brotherhood Alliance always wanted to break free from Divine Silence and become self-reliant?"
Everyone was taken aback. Brotherhood of Loyalty replied, "This is something we've already discussed with First Person. What implications does First Person's mention of it today carry?"
"An opportunity!"
Yi Tianchen stated bluntly, "Right now, there is a rare opportunity available. If the Brotherhood Alliance misses this chance, I can guarantee you will never have such an opportunity again!"
"Hoh—"
The swordsman boldly declared, "How can you be so confident? But when it comes to opportunities, we hope you can enlighten us!"
"I gathered everyone here today for this matter..."
Yi Tianchen collected his thoughts and analyzed, "I believe everyone is already quite clear about Righteousness Above All establishing a Guild Base, and Divine Silence has also announced the Guild Token this afternoon. By tomorrow at the latest, Divine Silence's Guild Base will officially be established."
"It has been revealed?"
Brotherhood of Loyalty was momentarily taken aback, pondering, "So, the fourth artifact on the server is now in the hands of Divine Silence Dust Fate?"
"That's right!"
Yi Tianchen nodded, "Currently, Righteousness Above All has joined forces with Supreme Alliance to target Divine Silence, and Divine Silence is about to create its Guild Base, leading to a prolonged standoff. This means that Divine Silence will have no time to deal with other matters for a long while..."
"Isn't this a great opportunity?" Yi Tianchen added after a moment of contemplation.
The members of Brotherhood of Loyalty exchanged glances, and it was evident that a spark of anticipation arose in each of their eyes as they politely said, "Please guide us!"
"It's simple. Brotherhood Alliance and Mist of Time will officially ally and settle accounts with various factions!" Yi Tianchen stated.
"Mist of Time is going to take action?"
Brotherhood of Loyalty was shocked and then suddenly smiled wryly, "But... even if Divine Silence has no time to concern themselves with us, there is still a King's Guild in Southern Wilderness City. Most factions in Southern Wilderness City have dealings with the King."
"But they are not sincere; the King is not a fool and knows when to intervene!"
"From what you're saying, it seems you are confident that the entire King's Guild will just watch from the sidelines and not get involved in any power struggles in Southern Wilderness City, am I right?" A female swordsman stepped forward, her tone filled with skepticism.
"I can't say for sure, but I would say it's about eighty percent likely!"
Yi Tianchen smiled lightly and continued, "I will handle the matters of the king. All of you need to consider just one thing: this is a rare opportunity for everyone. Whether or not to trust me next time is something you can discuss privately before giving me your answer!"
"What if we fail?" the swordsman frowned.
"Fail?"
Yi Tianchen smiled calmly, a hint of inscrutability in his gaze. He shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Just accept it!"
"Uh—"
The swordsman and the others were left speechless. Accept failure just like that? What kind of reasoning was this? Then they heard Brotherhood of Loyalty say, "In any endeavor, there are only two outcomes: success or failure. Life is essentially a gamble."
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Brotherhood of Loyalty pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and walked in front of Yi Tianchen, saying earnestly, "If First Person can help Brotherhood Alliance break free from Divine Silence and gain independence, then in the future, no matter what is needed, the Brotherhood Alliance will follow First Person's commands without question!"
Yi Tianchen smiled, "It's a deal!"
