Four external aid teams, a full four hundred people, moved in unison. In that moment, not only was Huo Tian puzzled—even the other external aid teams still wavering in the distance stared with their jaws on the ground, hardly believing their eyes.
"Have these people lost their minds?"
"All Zero Wing did was reveal some exploitable weaknesses—is that really cause for this kind of reaction?"
"What kind of guild is this Zero Wing? Did they go around desecrating these people's ancestors' graves or something, driving them all to seek revenge?"
The competition for seats could be said to have no allies—aside from their own team, everyone else was an enemy. There was no possibility of joining forces.
Now, having four external aid teams' experts charge toward Zero Wing together was absolutely the most incredible thing they had ever witnessed. And these people were coordinating so perfectly that if someone told them they didn't harbor a deep grudge against Zero Wing, they wouldn't believe it.
"Huo Tian, these people should all be targeting Zero Wing." A 117-level third-tier Ranger from the Blossom of Seven Sins observed the movements and targets of these people, swallowed hard, and reported cautiously to Huo Tian.
"What exactly did Zero Wing do to warrant such a massive response from four great superpowers?"
Apart from his shock, Huo Tian couldn't help but glance over at Shi Feng and the others not far away.
The fact that four external aid teams were acting in such perfect coordination meant this had been arranged well in advance. Otherwise, they wouldn't have planned to fully eradicate Zero Wing the moment the tryouts began.
Zero Wing was merely a rising quasi-superpower, yet it had managed to provoke four great superpowers into acting together—truly something unique in the Divine Realm. If word got out, it would surely make them famous throughout the land.
"Huo Tian, what should we do?" The third-tier Ranger couldn't help but ask.
"We hold our positions and observe the situation before deciding our next move." Huo Tian was no ordinary person; he recovered his composure almost immediately and issued the order directly.
Although judging by the killing intent, the four external aid teams weren't targeting the Blossom of Seven Sins, they still had to be careful.
Because the members of these external aid teams were all renowned experts in their own right—at minimum they were at the Flowing Water Realm, and quite a few had reached the True Void Realm. Every single one of them was someone a first-rate guild leader would have to take seriously.
Four hundred of them charging forward at once—the scene was like having four hundred first-rate guild leaders or vice-leaders rushing at you together. Just imagining it was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
In less than ten seconds, dozens of figures swept past the Blossom of Seven Sins, the gusts of wind they created scattering the surrounding flowers and grass.
In the instant these people passed by, every member of the Blossom of Seven Sins present—except Chi Lan—felt a wave of relief.
"That oppressive pressure was terrifying. Among those people, there must be over eight experts at the True Void Realm." A 117-level third-tier Assassin wiped the sweat from his brow.
The other members of the Blossom of Seven Sins present nodded deeply in agreement.
Although the weakest among them had reached the Flowing Water Realm, they had only five experts at the True Void Realm. Huo Tian did command a Domain, but even so, facing three True Void Realm experts in a place like this would be extremely difficult—he might even be killed.
In other words, excluding the monstrous Chi Lan, the dozens who had just passed them surpassed the Blossom of Seven Sins in overall strength.
And this was only a small fraction of the four external aid teams' power…
"You think the strongest among those people only reached the trivial True Void Realm?" Huo Tian steadied himself and shot a sidelong glance at his subordinates.
"Huo Tian, are you saying there are Peerless experts hidden among them?" Everyone gasped.
Peerless experts!
These were beings even the super guilds had to treat with the utmost caution. Each one stood above all like a pillar holding up the sea for any great power.
"Otherwise, why would those superpowers spend so many Seven Luminaries Crystals to recruit external aid?" Huo Tian glanced at the burly old man who had long since become a mere afterimage in the distance and took a deep breath. "I suspect that old man who just charged past is one of the founding elders of the Adventurer's Alliance in the Fire Dragon Empire—Beifeng Sanqiu."
"Beifeng Sanqiu? The one they call the Heaven-Turning Hammer?" Every member of the Blossom of Seven Sins shuddered.
Legend had it that Beifeng Sanqiu was a prodigy of his generation. With his incredible Ghost-God Hammer Technique, he had single-handedly slain several peak experts who commanded Domains from the Heavenly Dragon Mansion in the Fire Dragon Empire, and even fought one of the Heavenly Dragon Mansion's leaders to a draw.
After that, Beifeng Sanqiu earned the title of Heaven-Turning Hammer in the Fire Dragon Empire, helping the newly emerged loose organization—the Adventurer's Alliance—establish a firm foothold in the empire.
"Beifeng Sanqiu is probably just the trump card of one of the external aid teams. The others should also have Peerless experts backing them up." Huo Tian watched the four external aid teams closing in on Shi Feng and the others, his eyes filled with undisguised astonishment. "These four great superpowers really do think highly of Zero Wing!"
