"What was it that got buffed?" I asked.
After Ling Xue had enough suspense, she finally took out an item and held it in her palm. It was a dark green ring with a resplendent gemstone embedded in it. There were traces of blue aura floating within the gemstone, as though a storm was contained within it.

… …
"Damn!
This … This is the original Wind Domain Ring, a high-grade Celestial Equipment, the one that Wind Whisperer Jessica dropped? "I was incomparably shocked.
Ling Xue nodded and smiled. "Yes!
I was worried that the reward would upgrade my Sky Equipment Set. Great, it's a ring. I now have two pieces of equipment from the Unparalleled Holy Equipment Set! "
"Haha, not bad, not bad ~"
I looked again. There was a skill called "Cold Whirlwind". It should be a large-scale damage skill.
"Ling Xue, equip the ring and show me with Cold Whirlwind."
"Yes."
Ling Xue put on the Wind Domain Ring. After adjusting her skills, she activated the spar function with me. Her snow white fingers spread open slightly, and after chanting an incantation, she shouted, "Ice Tornado!"
Whoosh!
A gigantic cyan whirlwind enveloped me. My body ached slightly as I lost a chunk of my HP — 57398!
"It looks like the skill's damage is related to physical attack." I judged.
Ling Xue canceled the spar function and smiled. "Unfortunately, it used up half of my mana. I can use it twice at most before I have to use mana again to continue fighting."
Ling Xue said apologetically, "Everyone died, but in the end, I was the one who took advantage of them …"
"You did a good deed, not take advantage."
"Heh …"
It was getting late. After going offline and having supper, everyone went to bed. They had been walking for the entire day. They had also killed many people in the City of Dawn. Now that they were tired, they could not resist it.
…
The next morning, when he woke up, it was already sunny outside. Pulling open the curtains, he saw a girl in red who lived in the front building had her arms around the middle-aged boss's neck. She was acting coquettishly while saying something.
After washing up, he went to the living room. Qin Yun had prepared breakfast for him.
Bing Cha took a bite of his bun and said, "Did you know?
Last night, White Cloud City was attacked. "
"Oh, who is it? So bold?"
"Full Moon Dance!"
Bing Cha smiled. "Because we killed the King of the City of Dawn, he was furious. He gathered 500 high-level players from Korea to bypass the Bloody Fortress and head straight for the White Cloud City from the Moonlight Forest."
"And then?" Ling Xue asked.
"And then …" Bing Cha smiled. "And then they were wiped out."
Ling Yue said, "Yes, yes, I saw the forum this morning. The Koreans are indeed very daring. 500 of them split into three groups and attacked the east, west, and west gates of White Cloud City. One of the groups was very strong and was led by the Full Moon Dance Band. They practically massacred the vendors at the north gate.
However, Seven-star Lamp, Han Xin, and Shadow Follower were still online, so they returned to the city to help. In the end, they were wiped out … "
Bing Cha smiled. "There are videos on the forums. Han Xin is very skilled in PvP. That Mud Foot Trap can be used even in the city. The entire north plaza of White Cloud City was turned into a swamp, and Full Moon Dance suffered a huge loss. Seven-star Lamp slashed him a couple of times, and then Han Xin's Dragon's Tomb swept him to death …"
I couldn't help but laugh. "Heh?
Full Moon Dance ran into a geomancer. That's suicide … "
"Hmph hmph, that's right ~"
It was at this moment Ling Yue made another announcement. "A new territory will spawn at the Plains of Despair this afternoon. Do you know about this?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"OMG, is that so?"
I said, "Don't we already have a territory?
It's a Rank 3 city of kings! "
Ling Yue nodded. "Yes, but a territory near the Plains of Despair is blessed by nature. It'll definitely become a target for all the guilds. What do you think?"
"Snow Moon already has its own territory. Let's not be too greedy …" I smiled.
Ling Yue smiled. "I know, but Uncle Solitary Grave said that he doesn't want Soul Battle Robes to own this territory. That's why Time Like Water will join the battle. What should we do, Snow Moon?"
Bing Cha waved his chopsticks. "Should we go steal another piece?"
"If we do that, the other guilds will definitely object. We can't be too domineering …" I objected.
Qin Yun said, "Scholar has a point. We should give what we should give to others."
Ling Yue asked, "What about Ling Xue?
What do you think? "
Ling Xue glanced at me and said, "I'll listen to him."
Ling Yue was a bit speechless. "Alright, Sister Qin Yun and Ling Xue both follow Scholar's lead, so I'll follow as well. Scholar, what do you think we should do?"
"Let's keep grinding!"
I thought for a moment before saying, "There will be a lot of conflicts after the Nation War. We need to get our levels high, or we'll be at the mercy of others.
As for today's territory war, Snow Moon is neutral and won't participate. If you're interested, you can go and watch. "
"Mn mn mn!"
… …
At 1: 30 pm in the afternoon, I had already led Dragon Soul, Ghost Flame, Judging Sky and Dancing Spring and Autumn to grind Sky City twice. The five of us gave us a lot of experience, and we didn't even have a priest in our party. The four of them would solo a mob, and I would gang up on a bunch of them. That was why we were killing them so quickly.
It was worth mentioning that after Ling'Er reached Level 200, I could kill the strongest boss of Sky City, the Heavenly Winged Demon, even without summoning a fire dragon. Dragon Soul leveled up more than one level in just one morning. He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Spring And Autumn Dance asked, "Scholar, are we really not participating in the territory war this afternoon?"
"Yes. You guys should form a party and go to the Outer Lands. Leveling is the way to go."
Ghost Flame said, "Then take us to Sky City two more times tomorrow. Dragon Soul and Xing Tian will reach Level 200, and then we'll be able to grind on our own."
"Okay, no problem. I'll come whenever you want."
And so, in the afternoon, Dragon Soul and the others went to the Moss Graveyard to grind. Ling Xue, Bing Cha, and the other girls also formed a party to do the quest. The quest to collect dark gold coins could be repeated, but the prerequisite was that they could beat the Moss Souls. Of course, the girls' party was strong enough to do it.
I rode the Blazing Warhorse and roamed around the Plains of Despair. I entered Shadowmeld and waited for the afternoon's show.
When it was two o 'clock, the system bell rang —
Ding ~!
System Announcement: All players, an unclaimed territory has appeared in the Plains of Despair. The player who captures the territory will become the lord of the territory and have full authority over it!
… …
It's starting!
A large number of Knights appeared on the icy plains, running all over the place in search of a new territory. Among them were quite a few players from Time Like Water. It seemed that the Rain Admiration Pavilion was also participating. These two guilds already had their own territory, so coming here this time was purely an act of occupying a latrine.
"Found it, found it! The coordinates are near (3 7488,93847)!"
I didn't know who shouted it, but everyone rushed over. I slowly followed behind. The Blazing Warhorse snorted as it moved forward. After we crossed a tall mountain ridge, we saw a territory surrounded by a fence made of tree branches. It was the fifth territory of White Cloud City!
There were still a lot of forces without territory right now, such as Soul Battle Robes, Chosen, Stewed Green Plum Wine, Temple of the Moon, Pride, Xuanyuan Sword, and so on. Therefore, this new territory became a battleground.
The location of this territory was indeed very good. It was adjacent to the Outland, and on the other side was the Despair Icefield, where the monster levels were suitable for intermediate and high-level players. Furthermore, it was surrounded by snowy mountains on all sides, and the valley plains were filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. It was no different from a paradise on earth. Whether it was used to build an empire, or to become sworn brothers in a peach garden, or to pick up girls, it was very good.
I looked around. Most players were coming from the west side of the low-lying area, and I was at the highest point. No one was willing to climb up from here, but it was a good place to watch the battle.
I canceled the Blazing Warhorse and sat down on a pile of snow. Then, I stabbed the Moonlight Ice Blade into the snow and summoned Ling'Er to watch the battle together!
It wasn't long before a dense crowd of black dots appeared from all over the mountain. It was Soul Battle Robes!
Battle Soul Proud Heaven and Blood Drinker of the Heavens rode at the front of the party with swords in hand. It was obvious that they were determined to claim this territory.
Suddenly, a group of black dots appeared on the other side of the mountain. Our opponents had arrived, and their leader was none other than Solitary Grave. He wielded the Universe Sun Moon Blade and charged toward us!
The players arrived very quickly, and it felt like a hundred rivers converging into an ocean. All eighteen groups of heroes had taken advantage of the terrain, and now it was time to see who could claim the territory first.
I couldn't hold back any longer. I summoned the Blazing Warhorse and charged down with Shadowmeld. Ling'Er flew high into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
No one could see me because I was Level 212. I was the undisputed number one player in both the China server and the world.
Battle Soul Proud Heaven rode to the front of Time Like Water and said with a hearty smile, "Big brother Solitary Grave, what are you doing?
Doesn't Time Like Water already have a territory? "
Solitary Grave nodded. "Yes, what about it?"
"Then why are you here?"
Solitary Grave stroked his beard and smiled. "Oh, I want to get a territory for my subguild."
Blood Drinker of the Heavens also urged his horse forward and said angrily, "What the hell!
Soul Battle Robes' main guild doesn't even have a territory, and you want to give one to your subguild? Don't you think you're going too far? "
"Have I gone too far?" Lonely Grave was a little hesitant. He turned to look at Hellfire beside him.
Hellfire was an honest child. He nodded. "A little."
Solitary Grave smiled and said, "Alright, I won't fight for territory today. You guys can fight for it."
Blood Drinker of the Heavens and Battle Soul Proud Heaven were a bit nervous, but Solitary Grave had made his stance clear. They could only trust him for now.
The Rain Admiration Pavilion only followed Years Like Water's lead. Years Like Water decided not to make a move and watch from the side, so the Rain Admiration Pavilion didn't have any big reactions. They just spread out their troops and waited.
… …
"Brothers, get ready to take over the city!"
Battle Soul Proud Heaven pointed his sword to the west and said, "There are more monsters at the west gate, so it'll be harder to deal with them. So, Blood Drinker of the Heavens, Fire Soul, and Gregory, you guys lead the main force there. Once you've taken over the city, immediately switch from offense to defense."
Blood Drinker of the Heavens was a bit dissatisfied. "Why should I let my brothers be cannon fodder?
I think it's better for Battle Soul to go. Don't you guys call yourselves the number one team in China? "
Battle Soul Proud Heaven's face turned red and green. He angrily asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing. I'm their boss, so I have to take responsibility for their interests!" Blood Drinker of the Heavens revealed an expression of concern for his subordinates for the first time.
Battle Soul Proud Heaven sneered. "The war is about to begin, yet you're so calculative. Someone like you actually dares to spread rumors in Soul Battle Robes that you want to elect a new guild leader?"
"Who's spreading rumors?"
The scar on Blood Drinker of the Heavens' face was twitching. He looked very agitated as he spat. "If I want to be the guild leader, it'll be as easy as pie. Do you think I need to spread rumors?"
Battle Soul Proud Heaven's expression turned cold. "So you're saying that you really want to be the guild leader?"
Blood Drinker of the Heavens was clearly annoyed. He said angrily, "Only the virtuous can occupy this position. I've been giving in to you because I respect you as the boss. Did you eat some gunpowder today? Why are you so impulsive with your words?
If you're really tired of being the guild leader, I can take over for you! "
Blood Drinker of the Heavens' attempt to seize power was obvious. I almost spat out a mouthful of laughter. Blood Drinker of the Heavens actually thought that he was virtuous? This was the biggest joke in the world!
Seven-star Lamp advised, "Boss, forget it. We're going to take over the territory today, so let's not cause too much trouble. There are so many White Cloud City citizens here. What's the point of making fun of them?"
"Cut the crap!"
Blood Drinker of the Heavens glared at me and shouted, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?
Ever since that Shen Luoyan showed up, your heart hasn't been in Soul Battle Robes for a single moment. Tell me, why did you move out of our group rental apartment this morning?
The Shadow Follower left, and now you're leaving too? "
"I …"
Seven-star Lamp looked a bit embarrassed. "Then pretend I didn't say anything."
Blood Drinker of the Heavens glanced at Seven-star Lamp. It was the beautiful Shen Luoyan, Hong Lingwu's girl.
Blood Drinker of the Heavens didn't hide his greed at all. After searching Shen Luoyan's full chest once, he snorted coldly. "Little Seven, you've changed.
This woman is no good … "
Seven-star Lamp was a hot-blooded man. He had endured for a long time now that he had a boss like this. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and said angrily, "Boss, please don't talk about my girlfriend!"
"Girlfriend?"
Blood Drinker of the Heavens sneered. "Then do you know whose bed this woman was sleeping on when you were grinding last night?"
"Who?" Seven-star Lamp's eyes flashed with killing intent.
