For this issue, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan found themselves at a loss for answers.
However, one undeniable point was that if all of this was indeed a coincidence, then the nature of this coincidence was truly shocking.
Just as they mentioned teleportation magic and talked about mages, suddenly a connection emerged!
Moreover, the ten-person team that had been following them was indeed very strange. Although there had been many players trailing them since Xiliang City, most were merely curious and chose to return home after a while.
After all, their journey had already taken a day!
Yet throughout this journey, the peculiar team composed of five knights and five mages had never left their side, silently following along. If they were just curious onlookers, the patience of this team was astonishingly remarkable.
...
"The meaning of 'First Person' is..." After listening to Yi Tianchen's account of the sudden event, Divine Silence Dust Fate couldn't help but furrow his brows. "The joint action of the Kings and Owl Dragon along with many other small Guilds is ultimately aimed at us?"
"The Kings..."
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Rebellious Blood Blade's eyes. Although Zeng Jian (King's Sword Soul) and King's Guild were at odds with Mist of Time and had significant conflicts in reality, when it came to understanding Zeng Jian (King's Sword Soul), Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan likely couldn't match Rebellious Blood Blade.
After all, they had once collaborated deeply!
"He can do it!" After a moment of silence, Rebellious Blood Blade coldly uttered these words, causing everyone present to pause in surprise.
"For safety's sake, we must leave some people above!" Liu Yuhan stated.
Qianye and Supreme Treasure nodded in agreement. "I suggest each Guild send some members to guard the entrance of Death Abyss!"
"Uh!"
Rebellious Blood Blade said awkwardly, "The members of the War God Hall have either all come down or are already on their way. At this point, there are probably no members of the War God Hall left up there."
"Rather than guarding up top, we might as well block below!"
Rebellious Blood Blade grinned mischievously. "The terrain up there is open and easy to expose! The situation below is different; the gap from that darkness to down here is enough to make anyone let their guard down. Once they land, they'll have no choice but to take a beating."
"That idea is indeed not bad!" Qianye and Supreme Treasure said helplessly.
They had initially supported Liu Yuhan's plan to keep people stationed above, but upon hearing Rebellious Blood Blade's bold ambush strategy, they immediately wavered. Given the current situation, Rebellious Blood Blade's tactic of waiting for the enemy to tire would be very effective.
"How about we each draw five hundred people?" Yi Tianchen suggested.
"I have no objections!" Rebellious Blood Blade was the first to express agreement, and Qianye and Supreme Treasure quickly followed suit. Divine Silence Dust Fate remained silent for a moment before saying, "I have no issue with how many people we draw, but the difficult part is finding someone everyone can trust to unify the orders."
"Haha..."
The others chuckled awkwardly; this was indeed a problem!
Earlier, when it came to selecting a commander after the Five Major Guilds' alliance, Yi Tianchen had volunteered himself. Since he triggered the entire mission and his personal strength was recognized, his credibility naturally gained everyone's acknowledgment.
But what about now?
Having broken away from the control of the main figures of the Five Major Guilds, it wouldn't be so easy to choose someone with considerable strength and charisma at this moment.
A few people looked at each other, clearly without a unified answer. At that moment, Yi Tianchen smiled slightly and said, "This isn't a solution. Why don't we let Mist of Time take full responsibility? As for those who want to contribute, you can voluntarily stay."
"…"
Divine Silence Dust Fate, Rebellious Blood Blade, Qianye, and Supreme Treasure were speechless! Look at that; the result of not having a unified answer was being dragged along.
It was said to be voluntary, but in reality, it was something they had no choice but to comply with!
Yi Tianchen's meaning was very clear: Mist of Time would take full responsibility. As one of the Five Major Guilds, how could they remain indifferent at such a critical moment?
If they truly didn't send anyone, how could they save face?
This worked out well; Yi Tianchen effortlessly pushed Mist of Time into a leadership position. The other four guilds could at most volunteer to leave behind some personnel. If you leave 100 people? Fine, then I'll leave 150. In any case, they needed to create an advantage.
To outsiders, this advantage seemed to be about considering the bigger picture.
Thus, in the end, the number of people responsible for staying behind to guard against unexpected ambushes exceeded the initial so-called 500 from each guild and reached a scale of 3,000. The person chosen to unify the orders was directly assigned by Yi Tianchen to Li Tielong.
In this way, while the ambush was underway, preparations began in earnest here!
With the help of NPCs like Hell Swordsman and Azure Abyss, a grand total of twenty thousand people gathered in front of the main gate. Yi Tianchen, Liu Yuhan, and Supreme Treasure stood together, each holding a Divine Weapon, forming a triangular formation at the closest point to the gate.
Next came the rise of incantations…
Around them, dazzling rays of colorful light intertwined. Liu Yuhan activated Angel's Wings and chose a high vantage point to launch her attack. As a mage, Supreme Treasure continuously chanted powerful long-range spells enhanced by the laws of heaven at that moment…
Ahead, Yi Tianchen stood proudly, resembling a war god!
At this moment, the entire scene was heavy with tension. Everyone held their breath, watching the unfolding spectacle, each person gripping their weapon tightly, united in anticipation of what would happen next.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow, glowing with a faint blue aura, sliced through the sky as Shattered Dream launched its attack, and time itself seemed to freeze in that instant.
Next came the Supreme Treasure's heavenly decree!
Brilliant magical light swirled around him, completely obscuring his presence. All that could be seen was a dazzling orb of colorful light, which transformed into a meteor-like shooting star, racing toward the great door with lightning speed.
Finally, it was Yi Tianchen's powerful strike!
Dragon's Roar radiated brilliance, subtly infused with the might of a tiger's roar. As he swung, Golden Radiance coalesced without dissipating—
Earthshatter Slash!
The overwhelming force of three Divine Weapons struck simultaneously, converging in an instant at the same spot near the great door—
"Boom!"
The dust that erupted was suffocating, as if a world-shattering explosion had occurred. Amidst the swirling clouds of smoke, a sudden metallic scraping sound pierced through, followed by a burst of radiant light that shot forth…
