Summoning Players into My Game-Chapter 598 - 330: The Name Black Obsidian (2)

"You’re quite lucky; not only did you get introduced to the Deputy City Lord, but you’re also collaborating with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to open a martial arts hall in Domain City. In the future, when you form a team to explore the Restricted Area, you’ll be much safer relying on the strength of Black Obsidian’s apprentice at the Bone Forging realm, known as the strongest under the Grandmaster."

Upon hearing this, Fei Long also felt a bit envious of Shadow Tiger and the others.

Many top forces and experts from the Four Domains are frantically exploring the Restricted Area. Besides seeking survival, it’s also for further advancement. After all, the current habitable area is only within the Four Domains, and according to hundred-year-old explorations, the area of the Four Domains is less than 3%.

Although the Restricted Area is perilous, numerous relics lie within it. Who knows there might be something in these relics that could lead to breakthroughs.

In the Restricted Area, many half-step Celestial Humans break through due to these relics, and even current top sect masters in the Heavenly Human Realm mostly gained their opportunities for breakthroughs from the Restricted Area.

These peerless geniuses will need to explore the Restricted Area to reach the Heavenly Human Realm in the future. The deeper the exploration, the greater the danger, so having a capable team is crucial.

"The luck is quite good indeed." Shadow Tiger chuckled.

Originally, he was swayed by Ling Ye and Yi Feng’s exaggerated tales about the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, especially about the Intermediate Gravity Rooms and Basic Meditation Rooms that aid in cultivation. This prompted him to recommend the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to the Deputy City Lord.

Unexpectedly, he hit the jackpot; future explorations of the Restricted Area could heavily rely on the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.

Meanwhile, as Shadow Tiger and Fei Long conversed, major forces from the Four Domains, upon receiving the news, re-evaluated the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. It was no longer just a dominant force within a single domain but an entity capable of defeating three top forces. Thus, they instructed their members to avoid provoking the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall if possible, even going so far as to have members investigate all about the martial arts hall, ensuring everyone knew the basic information.

Otherwise, if someone were to cross paths at the Wraith Mountain Range, they might not even know how they died during a conflict.

Mist Mountain Region, Red Moon Town.

In the VIP suite on the top floor of a steel building situated close to the Cultivation Tower.

"Brother Meng De, you must be mistaken, right?" Xie Feina looked incredulously at the middle-aged man from the Forest Race, unable to believe the information he presented. "A thousand Blood Coagulation Realm attackers from those three forces led to over two hundred of their expert members’ deaths, including three half-step Celestial Humans. How could the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall have such power?"

"It’s already a confirmed fact, no need to doubt," the middle-aged Forest Race man, who was himself at the half-step Celestial Human, affirmed confidently. "But this event has stirred significant trouble, severely damaging those three forces. Now, the sect masters of those three forces are furious, even demanding that we hand over the Hall Master of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall for severe punishment. Otherwise, they threaten to discontinue all future collaborations with Mist Mountain Domain City, including joint explorations of the Restricted Area."

"Have those three forces gone mad?" Xie Feina couldn’t help but exclaim.

Though she didn’t understand why the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall suddenly became so formidable, for the sect masters of those three forces to make such demands to the domain city, it was evident how badly this war had impacted them, even to the point of risking a fallout with Mist Mountain Domain City.

"The losses for those three forces are just that significant, especially losing all their hard-trained half-step Celestial Humans. If it were our Mist Mountain Domain City, we might have gone mad too," the middle-aged Forest Race man chuckled. "However, this time the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall did give those three longstanding forces a stern lesson."

"What did the City Lord say?" Xie Feina asked worriedly.

Amongst the three forces, Smiling Skull is just a bandit, carving out territory in the Wraith Mountain Range. It made the previously insecure trade between Mist Mountain Region and Celestial River Region even more dangerous. Mist Mountain Domain City had designs to eliminate Smiling Skull, yet with multiple sect masters, it was too costly to act without the combined efforts of the other three Domain Cities. Thus, they turned a blind eye as long as it didn’t cross the bottom line.

But the other two forces are different. Red Moon Commerce has trade routes across the Four Domains, and numerous goods require their transport, while Earth Star Pharmaceutical monopolizes most of the Advanced Potions across the Four Domains. If these two forces indeed cut ties with Mist Mountain Domain City, the loss would be massive for the city.

Of course, the loss isn’t one-sided; it affects Red Moon Commerce and Earth Star Pharmaceutical too. However, if the two are resolute, there isn’t much Mist Mountain Domain City could do.

"We’ve rejected it," the middle-aged Forest Race man’s expression was slightly stern. "Those three forces believe that by joining hands, they can pressure Mist Mountain Domain City, treating us as mere ornaments. In response, the City Lord and the rest have decided to ban anyone from those three forces from stepping into the Mist Mountain Region. Also, my teacher sent me to tell you to warn the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall that while they needn’t worry about the sect masters of those three forces within the Four Domains, they should be cautious once inside the Restricted Area."

"The Four Domain Cities cannot govern the Restricted Area. Without sufficient strength, it’s best not to venture there. Also, refrain from any further confrontations with those three forces. Should their sect masters truly go mad, even if the Four Domain Cities eventually stop them, the cost will be unbearable."

"I understand." Xie Feina sighed in relief. "I’ll inform Hall Master Lin as soon as possible."
