Chapter 77 Welcome to the Cliff
Chapter 77 Welcome to the Cliff
Upon hearing Tong Linyuan's words, Zhou Xing's heart sank to the bottom.
As soon as the punch was finished, Tian Shi's next target was either Blood Eagle or their Black Stone Society.
Blood Eagle is alright. As long as Tong Linyuan is careful and doesn't leave the heavily guarded headquarters, with him, a level 6 professional, in charge, along with numerous other professionals and thugs, even the best timing won't make it easy for them to take down this tough nut.
But the situation with the Blackstone Society is hard to say.
Due to the previous attack by Tian Shi, the guild suffered heavy losses and has not yet fully recovered.
In terms of top-tier combat power, apart from him, a level 5 peak professional, the only other level 5 professional in the entire guild is Que Zhan.
No matter how you look at it, it's impossible to stop the onslaught of fate.
Is seeking refuge with the cliff the only option left?
boom!
A deafening roar suddenly came from outside, interrupting Zhou Xing's thoughts.
He looked out the window in astonishment and saw flames shooting into the sky and thick smoke billowing from the direction of the gate.
Countless shrill screams, shouts of killing, and explosions mingled together, rapidly approaching like a tidal wave.
Bang!
The conference room door was suddenly pushed open.
Que Zhan rushed in, looking panicked and pale.
"President, something terrible has happened!"
Zhou Xing's heart skipped a beat, and he asked sharply, "What's going on?"
"The people from Tian Shi are here!" Que Zhan's voice trembled, his eyes filled with fear. "The Awakening of Insects, the Winter Solstice, and the Frost's Descent—all three of them are here, and they're heading this way!"
As if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind, Zhou Xing's face turned deathly pale instantly.
Just a few hours after Gangquan's defeat, Tianshi came rushing in without stopping.
Don't they need to rest?
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Zhou Xing suddenly snapped out of it and turned to look at Tong Linyuan as if grasping at a lifeline.
"President Tong..."
But Tong Linyuan seemed to have anticipated what he was going to say and raised his hand to interrupt.
"President Zhou, at this critical juncture, my people cannot easily leave headquarters. What if this is a clever diversionary tactic by the opportune moment..."
"Tong Linyuan!" Zhou Xing suddenly raised his voice, "If the Black Stone Society is gone, do you think Blood Eagle can escape unscathed? Heaven won't let you off the hook!"
His voice was filled with barely suppressed anger and anxiety.
However, Tong Linyuan simply shook his head, his tone indifferent: "I'm sorry, Chairman Zhou, I can't take the risk."
As soon as the words were spoken, the image flickered twice and then disappeared abruptly.
"asshole!"
Zhou Xing slammed his fist heavily on the table, his face ashen, his eyes filled with anger and fear.
"Quickly, contact Cliff!" Zhou Xing hissed. "Tell them we're willing to merge into their guild, and ask them to send reinforcements immediately..."
Before he could finish speaking, a silver streak of light flew rapidly towards him from a distance outside the window, like a shooting star.
boom!
The floor-to-ceiling window shattered with a crash, sending countless shards of glass flying in all directions.
Zhou Xing stumbled back several steps, moved the arm that had been protecting his face away, and looked out the window. He froze instantly, his limbs feeling as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
A figure he knew all too well, a figure like a nightmare, stood at the edge of the building, looking at him indifferently.
The Awakening of Insects!
"Wait, we can talk..."
Zhou Xing's face contorted in terror as he screamed.
However, he was met only with a pure and sharp sword light.
......
Blood Eagle Headquarters, Conference Room.
Tong Linyuan leaned back against the soft leather chair, his face so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.
He knew very well that Blackstone was finished.
Following Gangquan, another guild in the North region has been wiped out.
The fact that Tian Shi was able to wipe out two major guilds in a single day far exceeded everyone's expectations in terms of efficiency and strength.
It is foreseeable that once today's news spreads, it will cause a huge uproar throughout the entire Northern District, and even the entire Chilian City.
However, Tong Linyuan was too preoccupied to care about that now.
It's obvious that Tian Shi's next target will be Blood Eagle.
He had absolutely no confidence that Blood Eagle could defy the odds.
Who knows if there are any other level 6 professionals in Tian Shi?
Tong Linyuan had a premonition that if he did nothing, Blood Eagle would soon follow in the footsteps of Gangquan and Black Stone Society.
"We can't just sit here and wait to die!"
Tong Linyuan took a deep breath, took out his encrypted communicator, and dialed a number.
The call was answered in just a few seconds, and a cheerful voice came from the other end.
"President Tong, good evening. I was just thinking you should be calling soon."
Tong Linyuan's expression froze, and he said in a low voice, "You already know what happened here?"
"Of course." The person opposite chuckled. "To wipe out two guilds in one day, that's quite a feat. It's rare to see such a powerful force develop in a place like the North District."
Tong Linyuan felt a chill run down his spine.
The attack on Blackrock was launched in less than two minutes, and the intelligence network was already highly efficient.
However, this is also a good thing for him.
The stronger the opponent, the easier it is to resolve the issue of timing.
Tong Linyuan remained silent for a while, and the person on the other end did not urge him, but waited patiently.
After a long silence, Tong Linyuan slowly spoke.
"I agree to your previous request."
The person opposite him chuckled and said, "Sorry, Chairman Tong, things are different now. If you want to join now, we can only offer you the position of candidate for the highest-ranking officer. Moreover, all members of Blood Eagle will have to follow our arrangements and be scattered into various teams below."
"Furthermore, all of Blood Eagle's resources must be handed over in full, with no retention allowed."
"You're taking advantage of our misfortune!" Tong Linyuan said angrily.
The person on the other end laughed and said nonchalantly, "You can take your time to think it over, and contact me when you've made up your mind."
"Wait." Tong Linyuan took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. "I agree, but I have one condition."
"you say."
"You must help me resolve the issue of unfavorable timing."
"No problem." The person on the other end agreed without hesitation. "We don't want to see any forces beyond our control either. Leave the timing to us, you can rest assured."
Tong Linyuan snorted coldly and said, "Don't be so sure of yourself. The timing of events is unpredictable, and even the Legion knows very little about it. No one knows their true strength. If you are careless, be careful not to repeat the mistakes of the Black Stone Society and the Steel Fist."
"Thanks for the reminder." The person on the other end of the line smiled, his tone radiating a natural sense of superiority. "However, in the entire Crimson Lotus City, apart from the Legion, there is no other force that we can take seriously."
Tong Linyuan remained silent.
No matter how annoyed he was, he had to admit that the other person was right.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked for help from the other party so quickly.
"The reinforcements will be arriving in the North District soon. Be prepared to receive them. Don't worry, it won't be long before Tian Shi is removed from the North District."
Tong Linyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and nodded, "Okay."
"I'm glad we were able to reach an agreement."
The voice on the other end paused slightly, and when it spoke again, it finally carried a hint of sincerity.
"Welcome to the Cliff."
