The high skies above Hundred Battle Sand City.
A breeze swept through, and the tall Shining Star blinked as he gazed at the familiar city below, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"This... This is above Sand City!"
The tall Shining Star looked at Su Yuan and the others in front of him, utterly confused, not knowing what these people intended to do.
Could it be... could it be they are planning to attack Hundred Battle Sand City?!
As the thought crossed his mind, a chill ran up his spine, and he couldn’t help but swallow nervously.
Su Yuan gazed down at the massive Hundred Battle Sand City. With a thought, silver light flickered around him, and Ashley’s figure appeared beside him.
"Ashley, check the position."
Ashley walked up to the tall Shining Star, her eyes slowly revolving with star tracks, as countless red threads of destiny pointed in various directions across the city.
Although Ruan Ruan could absorb the memories of the tall Shining Star, when it came to locating someone, Ashley using Destiny Threads for reconnaissance was more straightforward and convenient.
After a while, Ashley stopped and said, "Boss, the two leaders of the Fierce Battle Gang are both inside... and they’re both there."
Ashley pointed with her hand toward a large disc-shaped building near the inland direction.
Su Yuan took out the map and glanced at it, knowing that it was the main base of the Fierce Battle Gang.
"Both of them are together, that’s perfect," Su Yuan nodded.
Meanwhile, Ashley joined her hands, and Holy Light surged around her as she fully unleashed her Power of Oracle.
"Boss, there are four Burning Suns in the city," Ashley said.
Ashley nodded, "Yes."
Su Yuan was quite surprised but only briefly.
The Fierce Battle Gang didn’t have any Three Suns Realm experts themselves, and even if other Burning Sun level individuals came to Hundred Battle Sand City, they wouldn’t be Three Suns Realm experts.
If they were Three Suns Realm experts, Boss Yu of the Fierce Battle Gang would personally welcome them.
Su Yuan estimated that it’s most likely individuals at the Early Sun Realm arriving from the inland direction.
Upon hearing Ashley mention the four Burning Suns, the tall Shining Star’s eyes welled up with a strong sense of surprise.
Seeing this, Su Yuan asked, "What is it? So you also know about the four Burning Suns?"
"I... I know," the tall Shining Star replied, trying to steady himself, "but if I tell you, will you let me go?"
"Negotiating?" Su Yuan looked at the tall Shining Star, expressionless, "Tell us, or die immediately."
The tall Shining Star shivered as he gazed at Su Yuan’s cold demeanor, leaving no doubt that they would indeed kill him if he didn’t speak.
By speaking, he might still have a sliver of a chance to survive.
"I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you..." the tall young man swallowed hard, quivering, "One is the Shuiyun Alliance leader, Xiang Qing, who is controlled by the boss, and the other... might be someone from Thunder Fire Pavilion."
Su Yuan knew about Xiang Qing, the Shuiyun Alliance leader, who seemed to be captured by the Fierce Battle Gang and Sea King Gang using some method.
But the Thunder Fire Pavilion was a first-class power in the Central Region.
"Why would Thunder Fire Pavilion come to Fierce Battle Gang?"
"From what I know, it seems... it seems they want to cooperate with us to develop along the coast."
Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, indeed, the Central Region had also taken notice of the potential along the coast, trying to get involved.
Well, once I organize this coastal area, the next target is the Central Region.
Su Yuan looked at Ruan Ruan and said, "Let him go."
The tall Shining Star was immediately overjoyed, "Thank you..."
But before he could finish thanking, he felt the last vestiges of his Star Power being completely drained from his body, his limbs becoming stiff, as if paralyzed by a toxin.
"Goodbye~" Ruan Ruan waved, then flung the tall Shining Star out with a flowing water arm.
The tall Shining Star couldn’t move, nor could he muster his Star Power. Falling meant certain death.
But his life or death didn’t matter. Su Yuan said, "Then announce to the Fierce Battle Gang that we have arrived."
Ruan Ruan responded excitedly, her body flowing with dark light as she transformed into a Golden Crow, soaring from Su Yuan’s shoulder into the sky, spreading her wings beneath the blazing sun!
A massive golden flame ball rapidly formed above her head, swelling to a colossal size many times her own body in no time...
"Strange, why is it getting hot?"
On the ground, an old Silver Stage man standing at a shop entrance watching a chess game wiped his sweat, unable to resist looking up.
But upon seeing, his face changed dramatically.
"Why are there two suns!?"
"Old Li, what nonsense are you shouting!" The greasy-faced fat man watching the chess game next to him was startled.
Those playing chess, however, displayed remarkable composure, their gaze fixed on the board, unfazed by anything.
"What the hell, who cares about this chess!" Old Li, panic-stricken, stomped and shattered the board. "Look up, there are two suns!!"
Only then did everyone realize something was wrong, hastily looking up toward the sky.
"Damn, there really are two suns!"
"No, wait, it doesn’t seem like the sun?"
"...It’s magic, it’s fire magic! Run!"
At that moment, the "sun" above blazed brightly and then... came hurtling downwards!
Legendary skill, Sunset Divine Cannon!
In the main hall of the Fierce Battle Gang’s base, Boss Yu Feng and the third-in-command Xu Lin were conversing with an old man dressed in a green brocade robe.
The old man chuckled, "Boss Yu, three Sun Spirit Pills, and we’ll help you suppress the two gangs in the south, with the spoils to be divided equally.
However, our condition is that you must first divide half of Rock Dragon Gang’s territory with us."
The old man in the brocade robe had a cunning look in his eyes, clearly not easy to deal with. He was Dou Lun, the Vice Pavilion Master at the Early Sun Realm of the Thunder Fire Pavilion.
Yu Feng said in a deep voice, "Taking half the territory without any action is too much!"
"Not too much. You’ve gained territory but lost a Burning Sun.
Now, the Sea King Gang is catching up with your strength, and the two southern gangs have formed an alliance.
And don’t forget about the mysterious organization that killed your Burning Sun..."
Hearing this, Yu Feng frowned, a murderous look rising in his eyes.
Seeing Yu Feng moved, Dou Lun flipped his hand to reveal an alchemy box, opening it to show a Sun Spirit Pill inside.
Dou Lun continued, "We can pay one Sun Spirit Pill in advance, as long as you allocate half of Rock Dragon Gang’s territory to us, the deal is sealed!
You need to consolidate your strength now, and with three Sun Spirit Pills, you can boost your cultivation or maybe even have someone break through to Burning Sun under your command..."
Yu Feng pondered deeply, then nodded immediately, "Alright, it’s a deal then!"
"A wise choice!" Dou Lun laughed sinisterly, handing the Sun Spirit Pill to Yu Feng, not worried that Yu Feng would dare take it and run, "Now, how about we divide the territory?"
Yu Feng flipped out a map, precisely the map of the entire Western Desert, and directly allocated half of the southern region to Dou Lun.
Obviously, he wanted Dou Lun and his people to face the Storm Alliance and other southern gangs directly.
But Dou Lun didn’t mind and agreed without further dispute.
"By the way..." Dou Lun’s gaze swept over the map and asked, "Where is the mysterious organization called ’Qingming’ now?"
Yu Feng pointed on the map, "Here, Zhao Yue City."
"Isn’t it flanked by the sea and surrounded by the Storm Alliance?"
Yu Feng replied, "That organization doesn’t have many people. A place like Zhao Yue City is enough, and with the Storm Alliance outside, it’s safer."
Dou Lun glanced at it and asked, "Could they be eyeing the sea?"
Yu Feng sneered, "The sea? Perhaps you in the Thunder Fire Pavilion, being in the Central Region, don’t know the downsides of the sea?
Firstly, the islands in the sea are fixed in size, making expansion difficult, and communication with the mainland is extremely inconvenient.
Secondly, sea islands are like rootless duckweed, should any accident occur, there’s no escape!
Thirdly, the ocean is vast and unfathomable, who knows what one might encounter... it’s really unpredictable.
Though there are many benefits to being on an island, over ninety percent of the forces established there are King-level powers!"
Yu Feng laughed heartily, "The Fierce Battle Gang truly deserves to be the largest coastal gang, Boss Yu is indeed more knowledgeable than the rest of us."
Yu Feng glanced at the map again and said, "No time to delay; let’s head to Rock Dragon Gang’s territory now."
"It’s not good!" At this time, a Radiant Moon expert suddenly burst in, "Boss, there are two suns outside!"
"How could there be two suns?"
"Let’s go, and have a look!"
Yu Feng and the experts in the hall were quite puzzled, while there seemed to be a commotion rising outside.
Yu Feng suddenly sensed something, and with a flash of yellow light covering his body, he smashed through the hall and rushed out.
Looking up, he saw an enormous golden sun rapidly descending from the sky, heading straight for the main base!
Yu Feng’s expression changed dramatically, having no time to think. He immediately opened his hands wide, and Star Power surged from his body, shooting up into the sky.
"Mystic Rock Double Dragon Struggle!"
Two yellow dragons formed from solid Yellow Crystal Stone shot up along Yu Feng’s arms, rapidly expanding. Turning in opposite directions, they formed an enormous grinding plate to intercept the descending Sunset Divine Cannon!
Spirit Light burst, and fierce flames surged!
The terrifying light and flames instantly scorched the grinding double dragon into black, with cracks continuously appearing!
"What astonishing power!"
Yu Feng’s pupils constricted. He quickly flew up beneath the double dragon grinding plate, pouring Star Power into it with all his might, barely stabilizing the Sunset Divine Cannon.
Mystic Rock Huang Crystal Double Dragons continuously ground away at the golden fiery sun.
Though Yu Feng was a Chongyang Realm expert, the Sunset Divine Cannon was a Legendary Skill that had been charging for a long time, not easy to catch without preparation.
Golden flames burst forth from the double dragon grinding plate, scattering like Rapid Fire Meteors towards the city below, as if the end of the world had come!
