The seal of the Dark World is very stable, and during each Dark Tide, only a few Dark Creatures appear near the War Lord's territory, posing little threat.
Although the Adventurer World occasionally experiences incursions by Dark Creatures, and Dark Warlords of that level appear outside the Dark Rifts, from a broader perspective, the impact is not significant. At most, a batch of Adventurers die, but unless the knife is plunged into one's own body, one will not know the pain.
In fact, over the years, the destructive power displayed by the Dark World has become weaker and weaker.
This has led the Lords to believe that the Dark World is nothing more than that; it's just so-so...
However, Liu Yuanxuan's concerns were not unfounded. Through data comparison over the past few centuries, he realized that Dark Creatures have always been attempting something.
In recent years, these attempts have become more frequent, but no results have been seen yet.
However, not many people paid attention to such words. The so-called speech was only regarded as a means to win votes from ordinary citizens.
The Commander did not know who could be trusted at the moment.
Nor was it certain if the Chief was trustworthy.
But this was the person with the highest title and the most trustworthiness he could find.
As for the future...
One can only do one's best and leave the rest to fate. This is all he can do.
After the Commander left, the assistant, following his orders, immediately found the Dungeon Lords who had returned from the novice areas and took them from their homes under the pretext of assisting with an investigation.
Then, he had a conversation with these Dungeon Lords that lasted five or six hours.
Finally, he politely sent them back home.
There was no other way. Given the status of a Lord, if these Dungeon Lords were uncooperative, they couldn't resort to force and could only stare blankly.
Fortunately, most of these Dungeon Lords were quite easy to deal with.
Give them a sum of money and have them sign a non-disclosure agreement.
It was easy to get them to comply.
With a non-disclosure agreement in place, if they dared to leak information, they would directly face punishment, which was equivalent to a transaction.
However, among these people, there were also a few who were not so easy to deal with...
These were Zhao Hailiang and a few other wealthy Dungeon Lords. Upon hearing that the Commander responsible for the Awakening Square in the city wanted to make a deal with them, they immediately showed wary expressions.
After hearing the content, they began to ponder privately, thinking about the reason for this situation and the benefits they could gain from it.
This was also why the assistant was able to persist for several hours.
It wasn't until a very high price was offered, a few million per person as a hush money, that these individuals were tempted and finally agreed not to reveal the matter.
After receiving the money, the few of them signed the agreement.
Under the terms of this agreement, they could no longer mention anything related to this matter to outsiders. At the same time, if they had already disclosed it to others, when asked again, they must 'clarify' it, stating that what they said earlier was just a spur-of-the-moment joke.
These guys were actually second-generation rich kids; their families weren't short on a few million.
It's just that...
This time, venturing out to start a business and ending up returning in such a dismal state somewhat damaged their reputation within the family.
So, to save face upon their return, they couldn't resist the temptation and signed this contract.
After all, a few million is equivalent to tens of thousands of soul crystals.
They could tell their family that this sum of soul crystals was earned in the Dark World, which would be less embarrassing.
At least they got back the capital they invested in buying the IP.
Of course, the most attractive condition for them was the assistant's promise to cooperate with them in acting when necessary, to bolster their momentum and add a bit of credibility to their lies. An assistant to a Commander acting with them would greatly increase the credibility, so for the sake of face, this agreement had to be signed.
In short, under various conditions of coercion and enticement, even a few wealthy second-generation rich kids were dealt with, as people always have things they need.
However, this can only be considered a temporary solution. So much time has passed, and certainly many people know about this matter.
No one knows how it will ultimately develop.
While the assistant was lobbying these Dungeon Lords, inside a certain castle in the city, a piece of information was placed before a young man.
"Chen Yu, graduated from South City High School, awakened as a Dungeon Lord three months ago."
"Lives on Muddy Street, South City."
Upon seeing this, Saint Lingfeng sneered, "So it's a little bug from the commoner's street. I thought it was some big shot, daring to speak so arrogantly in front of me. How ridiculous..."
"The most ridiculous thing is, even though he's a Lord from the same generation as me, he hasn't even heard of my Angel Sanctuary. He's probably just a frog in a well."
"To think that my Angel Sanctuary army has been victorious in every battle in the Dark World, and he dares to disrespect me like this."
Saint Lingfeng threw down the documents in his hand.
He stood up.
He gave instructions to the two lackeys beside him, "Go, you two keep an eye on him for me. If there's any movement, come tell me. I'll make sure he doesn't live."
A chill flashed in Saint Lingfeng's eyes.
As a Lord of the same generation, to be looked down upon like this, how could Saint Lingfeng possibly stand it?
He absolutely had to find out where this guy's territory was, and then, after returning to the Dark World, he would dispatch the Angel Sanctuary army to raze his territory to the ground.
By then, he would make sure this guy would obediently kneel before him and pledge allegiance.
The two lackeys took their orders and left.
Not long after, a man who bore some resemblance to Saint Lingfeng appeared behind him.
Looking at the documents on the table, he asked with a puzzled gaze, "Third Brother, what's wrong?"
"Second Brother!"
Saint Lingfeng saw the man at the door and excitedly immediately invited him in to sit down.
It turned out this person was Sheng Lingyun.
As a top genius who had awakened the Twelve-Winged Archangel troop type, Sheng Lingyun's status in the Sheng family was now completely incomparable.
There were even rumors that he might awaken the Twelve-Winged Seraphim and become the head of the Sheng family.
Therefore, now, no matter who saw him, they had to be polite, and no one dared to provoke this future family head.
For Saint Lingfeng, what he was fortunate about was that Sheng Lingyun was his full brother. If Sheng Lingyun became the future family head, then his status would also be incomparable.
Seeing Sheng Lingyun's gaze fall on the documents on the table, Saint Lingfeng smiled indifferently, "Just an annoying commoner, no need for Second Brother to worry."
"Rather, Second Brother, I heard that Sun Mengmeng, that woman, rejected your marriage proposal?"
"That damn woman really thinks she's somebody. When we go to the Dark World this time, I'll join forces with Second Brother to capture Sun Mengmeng, that woman, and bring her back to vent your anger, Second Brother."
Saint Lingfeng said angrily, not knowing if he was truly angry or merely trying to flatter his Second Brother.
Sheng Lingyun chuckled, "Alright, Third Brother, she's just a woman. What's there to fuss about? Just watch from the side then. With my strength, do you think I can't take down a mere woman?"
The two brothers finished speaking and burst into laughter.
