Seeing the charming smile on Mu Wuying's face, her cousin Mu Yin slightly raised an eyebrow and said in a confused voice, "And to think that a single message would be able to make the most beautiful woman in all the capital of China show a smile of such magnitude... Can you tell who the lucky guy is?"
Before Mu Wuying had a chance to respond, Yang Li'er rolled her eyes bewitchingly and playfully replied, "Other than that bad boy Xie Feng, who else could he be?"
Mu Yin looked at her with a smile that wasn't a smile and slowly said, "Li'er, you seem to like bad boys then? Don't think I didn't see you secretly stealing several glances at him. You can forget it, my older cousin set her eyes on that man first and there's no way you can defeat her."
Yang Li'er's face turned red as a ripe apple. She looked at her friend with a smirk and rolled her eyes again as she said, "Bah! How shameless! You dare to swear that you didn't do the same thing too!?"
"Yinyin, Li'er, enough of playing games." Mu Wuying's serious voice interrupted the playfulness of both beauties. With a small frown, she explained the situation by giving a brief summary after reading Xie Feng's message.
The more they listened, the more serious the two beauties' faces became. They both knew how terrible the consequences would be if a Saint-grade powerhouse just rushed rampant and out of control everywhere.
If a not-so-important city fell, players would lose the capacity to obtain supplies in nearby areas and would no longer be able to teleport to that area, losing days or even weeks or months of time to reach the same place they could have reached in less than a minute using a teleportation scroll.
As for the consequences of losing one of the major cities... The entire Chinese server would lag behind the rest of the world and players in China would be mocked by players in the different battle zones.
According to Xie Feng's explanation, the unknown Saint grade powerhouse did not have good intentions as a powerful mage from the King of the North's Palace could sense overwhelming uncontrolled power quickly approaching from an unknown location to the Adastreia Continent.
"I'll tell my cousin the news." Yang Li'er's playful attitude had completely disappeared and she nodded with a solemn expression.
"I will gather the guild members." Mu Yin also understood the gravity of the matter and immediately got to work.
"I'll entrust it to you then, girls." Mu Wuying nodded gratefully and took out a teleportation scroll from her inventory.
As the leader of one of the strongest guilds in the country, even if she didn't make an effort to reach another area she could easily obtain such scrolls from her guild members. As long as one of them reached a distant area and acquired several scrolls, they could be easily distributed and multiplied countless times.
"Wuying, where are you going?" Mu Yin asked in astonishment. In such a situation, the guild leader was needed but she was going somewhere just now?
"My beloved needs me." Mu Wuying casually replied as her body was surrounded by a small teleportation array after tearing the scroll. Before disappearing, she stated, "I see you at the north gate of Eternal Wind City."
After Mu Wuying disappeared in a flash of light, Yang Li'er couldn't help but comment, "Isn't she engaged to Yao Zenyu? Besides, wasn't she supposed to-"
"Shut up Yang Li'er." Mu Yin interrupted her coldly.
"Yeah, yeah... I was just saying, why are you getting so mad?" Yang Li'er casually replied and growled under her breath, "With that character you'll stay alone all your life, witch."

Near to a small town called Dream of Peace, east of Eminentis City, the territory of a monster called a level 32 Thorn Bear.
The upper echelons of the most powerful guild in China, the God of Heaven guild, had gathered in this area to level up, practically monopolizing the entire territory for themselves and not allowing other lone players to intrude.
Currently, thanks to the opening of the Alliance System, the God of Heaven guild already had five million members and that number was increasing exponentially day by day. The salaries offered by the Yao Family were really lucrative and even the most ordinary and weak base players could earn enough to put food on the table for their families.
Although such an investment was a short-term loss, in the long run, the Yao Family's gains would far exceed the losses as they would not only gain control over a great part of the Adastreia Continent's territories, thus owning the resources, but they could also receive honor and praise from countless inhabitants of China and even world renown.
Suddenly Yao Zenyu's communication tool flashed a faint green light, drawing his attention.
When he saw that the sender was his younger sister Yao Mei, his expression became a bit puzzled. After all, this was the first time she had taken the initiative to contact him and, for him, this was something too surprising.
Cheerfully and with a bit of expectation, he opened the message hoping to improve his relationship with her. However, when he read the contents, he finally understood the reason why she had contacted him and could not help but smile bitterly.
In the end, it wasn't that she wanted to talk to him, far from it, it was just that the situation was so urgent that she had no choice but to warn him about what was about to happen.
With a slightly bitter but at the same time stern voice due to the circumstances, Yao Zenyu waved his hand and loudly commanded, "Move everyone, towards Eternal Wind City!"
* * *
The same thing that happened to Mu Wuying and Yao Zenyu happened to Yang Tian, who after receiving a call from Yang Li'er and learning what was happening stopped what he was doing and departed towards Eternal Wind City.
In a matter of minutes, the previously empty teleportation point of Eternal Wind City began to flash countless times.
Each light representing the arrival of a new player to the place that would soon become a battlefield.
Under the orders of the leaders and vice leaders, the members of the God of Heaven, King's Land, and Deep Heart guilds began to gather massively targeting the same place.
It didn't matter if they were leveling up in the middle of a forest, nor did it matter if they were in the middle of an important quest; when they received the order to move along with a brief explanation of what was going on, none of them hesitated to drop what they were doing and set off for Eternal Wind City in the hope of preventing chaos from breaking out
In less than ten minutes, more than four million players had appeared inside the city that had previously become a ghost town due to the disappearance of the NPCs that were sent to Eminentis City and the mass movement of soldiers to fight and defend the north gate.
Although there were already four million players, the number of players continued to increase with no sign of stopping any time soon.
