Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 2420 A Big Backer?
"Captain Yuluo, there's a team ahead!"
A Tier 2 Ranger, Level 102, reported to Yuluo, observing the somewhat blurred figures some four hundred yards away in the darkness.
The deeper they went into the passage, the more the visibility was suppressed. Even Tier 3 classes could only see for three or four hundred yards; beyond that, it was difficult to judge. Only a few special classes could see a little further.
"A team returning?" Yuluo looked at the approaching team and loudly said in the team chat, "Everyone be careful! Keep your distance from them and don't cause any misunderstandings. We're not here to fight!"
There was only one path to the inner area of the Molten Remains, but it was easier to get out than in. Before they entered, only Shi Feng's group of five and the Demon Emperor Hall's team had gone in. No one had entered for several hours before them.
Having come this far, they had passed most of the difficult sections of the passage. Entering the inner corridor was no longer a problem. If other teams could reach this point, they could definitely enter the inner area.
For a team to be returning now, it could only be one that had already been in the inner area.
And teams that could enter the inner area were not simple. They must have gained something inside. If they were misunderstood, it could easily lead to unnecessary conflicts and battles.
The teams from other super forces nodded in agreement, moving to the far left side of the passage to show that they had no hostility or intention to rob them. After all, no one wanted to start unnecessary conflicts here, as there were still plenty of treasures and opportunities waiting for them in the inner area. Moreover, the inner area was much more dangerous than the outer area, so it was always good to preserve as much strength as possible.
However, as the two teams got closer, the expressions of Yuluo and the others showed surprise and confusion.
They were extremely familiar with the members of this returning team.
Demon Emperor Hall!
Earlier, at the entrance of the passage, almost all the forces had looked at the Demon Emperor Hall's group with apprehension as they walked into the passage. Even Yuluo had quickly joined forces with other super force teams to enter the passage because of them.
But now, the Demon Emperor Hall's group was returning, and they looked very disheveled. Almost half of their Tier 3 classes had been lost.
"How is this possible!"
"Why are they returning?"
"Could it be that they also couldn't get through the later sections?"
The members of the various super forces present looked at Lin Xie and the others in disbelief, their hearts filled with apprehension.
They were very clear about the strength of the Demon Emperor Hall's team. They had a full sixteen Tier 3 classes, and Lin Xie, one of the top ten experts on Dragonheart Island, was in charge. Their team's strength was stronger than theirs.
But now they were still returning, which made them doubt whether they could pass through this passage.
The leaders of the two super forces couldn't help but look at Yuluo, their eyes full of inquiry and doubt. Before this, Yuluo had said that having reached this point, they had already passed through this passage, and there wouldn't be any problems ahead. They could safely enter the inner corridor to look for treasures and opportunities.
"Could it be that the difficulty of the second half of the passage has changed?" Yuluo was also at a loss and didn't know what to say.
The information given by the leader clearly stated that the remaining path in the second half of the passage only had some monsters and a gatekeeper Boss. By defeating the gatekeeper Boss and obtaining the key, they could enter the inner corridor.
The gatekeeper Boss was just a Level 105 High Lord, whose skills were a bit stronger. There would be some sacrifices, but there was no problem in killing it. It was easy for the Demon Emperor Hall's group, so how could they be so disheveled?
Just as everyone was feeling extremely puzzled, Lin Xie, who was walking over, directly looked at Yuluo. His terrifying aura filled the entire area, and the other Tier 3 experts from the Demon Emperor Hall also stared at Yuluo, creating an extremely solemn atmosphere.
"You from Azure Chamber of Commerce are very good! Very good!" Lin Xie stared directly at Yuluo, his voice low and cold. "I underestimated you before. I didn't expect you to have such a backer. The Demon Emperor Hall admits our loss this time, but you also remember, they can't protect you for long. It's not certain who will laugh last!"
After speaking, Lin Xie turned his head and left, ignoring Yuluo and the others. The others from the Demon Emperor Hall also glared fiercely at Yuluo and the others, followed Lin Xie, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
As Lin Xie and the others left, the members of the two super forces present couldn't help but look at Yuluo and the others.
Although Lin Xie didn't say much, the amount of information contained in his words was too explosive.
They didn't expect the Azure Chamber of Commerce to have a backer this time, and this backer had made the Demon Emperor Hall suffer a loss, ultimately forcing them to retreat from the passage. If this were to spread, it would definitely shock the entire Dragonheart Island.
What was the Demon Emperor Hall?
That was an existence that no super force dared to provoke now.
And the Azure Chamber of Commerce's backer could actually contend with the Demon Emperor Hall, which was enough to show that the Azure Chamber of Commerce's backer was quite terrifying.
"Captain Yuluo, you're not being honest enough. I didn't expect your Azure Chamber of Commerce to have been hiding so deeply. No wonder Leader Ziwei and the others could enter the inner corridor while other super forces could only watch at the entrance."
"Captain Yuluo, you're really amazing to be able to make the Demon Emperor Hall suffer a loss. I wonder if you could introduce us or reveal a little bit. Maybe we'll have a chance to cooperate in the future."
The leaders of the two super forces couldn't help but walk up to Yuluo and inquire very kindly, as if they were one family.
They were filled with curiosity about a force that could contend with the Demon Emperor Hall. It wasn't just curiosity, but more about wanting to find out more information so they wouldn't run into them without knowing it and end up running into the muzzle of a gun.
After all, that was a force that made the Demon Emperor Hall suffer a loss. If they encountered it, their ending would definitely be miserable.
"This... I don't know either." Yuluo was at a loss when asked by the two super forces.
What exactly was going on?
She had never even heard of a force that could fight against the Demon Emperor Hall on Dragonheart Island.
Yuluo's answer made the leaders of the two super forces give her a disdainful look.
Acting!
Still acting at this time!
They had already been exposed by Lin Xie on the spot, so what was the point of denying it?
Lin Xie, an elder of the Demon Emperor Hall, had already made it clear enough. It was the Azure Chamber of Commerce's backer. As a Tier 3 class of the Azure Chamber of Commerce, and the chief healer, how could she not know?
"Really! I really don't know!" Yuluo didn't know what to say when she saw the two's incredibly disbelieving eyes.
If their Azure Chamber of Commerce really had such a backer, why would they bother with the rescue?
Why even risk entering the inner corridor?
The leaders of these two super forces didn't say anything more about Yuluo's denial, but immediately told their subordinates to go offline and relay this message to their superiors.
The message content was very simple.
The Demon Emperor Hall encountered a mysterious force here in the Molten Remains, and as a result, retreated in defeat. This mysterious force was the Azure Chamber of Commerce's backer.
And they should investigate this mysterious force as soon as possible to find out which one it was.
As the two super forces quickly relayed the message, the members of the Azure Chamber of Commerce on the side were also thinking frantically about when their Azure Chamber of Commerce had gained such a powerful backer.
As for Lin Xie lying to them?
That was simply impossible and unnecessary.
No one would be free enough to promote their own defeat, which would greatly reduce their guild's deterrence and reputation, unless Lin Xie didn't want to live anymore.
"Could it be the Thirteen Thrones?" Yuluo thought for a long time, and the only thing she could think of was a super guild like the Thirteen Thrones. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why the Demon Emperor Hall would suffer a loss and leave. But after thinking about it, she felt that it wasn't right. "I should contact the leader. Maybe the leader knows something."
Saying that, she asked one of her subordinates, an assassin, to quickly go offline and inform Leader Ziwei of this matter. After all, the retreat of the Demon Emperor Hall's people was great news for their Azure Chamber of Commerce.
