It turned out that Ancient City Fallen Leaves was aiming for the artifact!
Although there were currently no suitable members from Heaven's Blade in Rainy Years Guild, as an artifact, Yi Tianchen was reluctant to let it fall into the hands of outsiders. Fortunately, there was no major conflict between Ancient City Guild and Mist of Time, so he could continue to listen to what Ancient City Fallen Leaves had to offer.
"That's right, Heaven's Blade is indeed in my possession!" Yi Tianchen stated.
"It seems my information was correct!"
Ancient City Fallen Leaves smiled slightly and pondered, "I wonder if First Person would consider parting with Heaven's Blade? Of course, I will definitely offer a price that will satisfy First Person!"
"Oh really?"
Yi Tianchen responded calmly. The mention of satisfaction reminded him of Owl Dragon World. Back at Ailan Gorge, Owl Dragon World had made similar claims to obtain Dragon's Roar, but ultimately, Yi Tianchen had decisively stunned them with a straightforward offer of ten million.
What about now?
Facing Ancient City Fallen Leaves, although Yi Tianchen held no grudge against him, they were not allies either. In their pursuit of developing and establishing their respective guilds, giving the artifact to the other party would only enhance their opponent's strength. In the long run, that wasn't a good thing.
"I wonder how much President Ancient City Fallen Leaves is willing to offer?"
Yi Tianchen blew on the tea in his cup and took a small sip, savoring its rich aroma. He felt a flicker of anticipation; as a rare artifact-level great sword, how much was Ancient City Fallen Leaves willing to invest?
"Three million!"
Ancient City Fallen Leaves smiled slightly, his gaze filled with deep confidence. He leaned in closer as if sharing secrets with an old acquaintance and lowered his voice to continue, "Of course, this is just part of it—three million plus the area where a giant dragon appears."
Yi Tianchen couldn't help but be taken aback; it was clear that Ancient City Fallen Leaves had come prepared!
"Since Your Guild has discovered the traces of the dragon, why go through the trouble of spending three million to buy Heaven's Blade? Wouldn't the best course of action be to take matters into your own hands?" Yi Tianchen said with a smile.
"Heh heh..."
Ancient City Fallen Leaves smiled lightly. "Indeed, under normal circumstances, one should act on such a great opportunity! However, I have at least understood one thing: I will not allow my Guild members to face a brutal slaughter like those from King's Guild while trying to take down an immensely powerful Dragon Boss!"
This implied that the strength of Ancient City Guild was still lacking!
"Furthermore, who doesn't know that the Dragon-Slaying Seven under First Person is the most formidable dragon-hunting team in the entire server? Even if we had enough strength, we wouldn't dare recklessly pursue the dragon without their consent!"
"Heh—"
Yi Tianchen responded politely. Although he knew that Ancient City Fallen Leaves was indirectly accusing him of stealing King's Guild's Dragon Boss, this was just a game. Moreover, the kings and Mist of Time could not coexist. Yi Tianchen had no hesitation when it came to seizing King's Dragon Boss.
"However..."
Ancient City Fallen Leaves smiled and shifted his tone, continuing, "If I were to possess such formidable strength as First Person at this moment, I would also act without hesitation in a situation like today; after all, this Dragon Boss represents a divine artifact!"
"Oh?"
Yi Tianchen smiled casually, feeling somewhat uncertain about Ancient City Fallen Leaves' sudden shift in demeanor. He chuckled and said, "So what you mean, President Ancient City Fallen Leaves, is..."
"To be honest, there are irreconcilable conflicts between Ancient City and the kings!"
"Ancient City Fallen Leaves" sighed lightly and said, "In fact, the relationship between Ancient City and the King's Guild has entered a sensitive period as early as a month ago. The King’s Guild has invited Ancient City to join several times, but I have refused each time. In Southern Wilderness City, Ancient City is likely struggling to survive."
Yi Tianchen was taken aback; he understood what was being implied.
Though it was called an invitation to join, it was likely just a facade. From Ancient City Fallen Leaves' attitude, it was clear that while it appeared to be an invitation, it was essentially a form of annexation. No wonder Ancient City Fallen Leaves had rejected it without hesitation.
This meant that Ancient City urgently needed to find an ally!
They were facing the malicious annexation from the King's Guild, but at present, the Ancient City Guild lacked a Base of Operations, preventing the King’s Guild from declaring war directly. Meanwhile, some of their other allies had yet to conquer the Ancient City Guild, leading to a difficult stalemate.
However, Ancient City Fallen Leaves could not afford to delay; any delay would give their opponent an opportunity!
In this regard, it seemed that Ancient City and Mist of Time could reach a consensus on how to deal with the King's Guild. If they could not destroy the King in a short time, nurturing several opponents to restrain the King would indeed be a good strategy.
Perhaps Ancient City Fallen Leaves had already considered this idea!
Yi Tianchen said calmly, "If that's the case, then please speak frankly, Ancient City Fallen Leaves President! As long as it benefits Mist of Time, I will certainly agree!"
"Gladly!"
Ancient City Fallen Leaves smiled and said, "If this transaction can be completed, I hope we can establish an alliance agreement with your guild. Ancient City is willing to deal with some minor forces under the King's Guild; all your guild needs to do is focus solely on the King's Guild!"
"And what about between us?" Yi Tianchen asked.
Of course, while Yi Tianchen's question was about "between us," both parties represented their respective guilds—Ancient City and Mist of Time—so he was naturally referring to the relationship between the Ancient City Guild and Rainy Years Guild. Ancient City Fallen Leaves replied solemnly, "Never interfere with each other!"
Never Offend Each Other?
Yi Tianchen had to admit that these four words were a bit too strong and lacked credibility. However, he truly did not need the Ancient City’s promise of never offending; as long as there were shared interests regarding the King's Guild, they could be allies.
Moreover, the other party had provided the location of a dragon!
Additionally, Ancient City Fallen Leaves seemed to have lost the impulsiveness from their last competition. The offer of over three million and the dragon's whereabouts seemed like a loss at first glance, but when calculated carefully, it was actually more likely to be a steady profit—at least for Ancient City Fallen Leaves at this moment.
First, the Ancient City Guild lacked the strength to slay dragons. Second, since the people of Ancient City had discovered the dragon, it was likely that others would find it soon as well. Finally, there was the Dragon Slaying Team mentioned by Ancient City Fallen Leaves; once they received the news, it was hard to say they wouldn’t attempt to seize it.
Furthermore, would slaying a dragon guarantee an artifact?
And even if an artifact appeared, would it necessarily be suitable for oneself?
Clearly, none of this had a hundred percent certainty. Take Yi Tianchen's recent acquisition of the Dark Dragon from the King's Guild as an example; the Guild Token that was expected to drop without fail didn’t appear this time.
In short, this was still a matter of luck!
