91: Zhao family's layout
“Strange, the Path of Exile has been over for almost 10 minutes, why hasn't Night Shadow come out yet?”
Outside Dingfeng City.
Zhao Mo had already returned to the entrance of the Path of Exile.
At this time, the surrounding area was already heavily guarded by a large number of Dragon Abyss Legion members, making it impenetrable.
In fact, 20 minutes ago,
Zhao Mo had already summoned the Black-Clad Deacons of the Zhao Family's enforcement team, as per Zhao Changlin's instructions.
However, it wasn't the three that Zhao Changlin initially requested, but a full five.
As the Legion Commander of the Dragon Abyss Legion, Zhao Mo was inherently a bold yet meticulous person.
After the previous setback, Zhao Mo's assessment of Night Shadow's combat power had already increased by several levels.
Therefore, to be safe,
he directly dispatched two more Black-Clad Deacons.
Furthermore, these Black-Clad Deacons were all Level 180, though they had not yet undergone their Sixth Advancement.
But even so, with six dimension dissociation stones spent,
it was only enough for these five Black-Clad Deacons to operate in the beginner zone for 4 hours.
However, that time was sufficient.
Zhao Mo's only concern now was whether Night Shadow might have been alerted in advance
and would cower inside, refusing to come out.
The price of one dimension dissociation stone was around 3 million eternal coins.
Five would be 15 million.
This amount of money, for an ordinary person, would naturally be an enormous expenditure.
But for the Zhao Family, it wasn't too big of a problem.
The problem was, if Ye Xiao didn't come out for a single day,
Zhao Mo's expenses for dimension dissociation stones alone would amount to 90 million.
If Ye Xiao was quick-witted and stayed inside for a few days, or simply logged off on the spot,
the daily expenditure of nearly 100 million eternal coins would be quite disadvantageous for the Zhao Family.
Therefore, Zhao Mo couldn't help but ask.
On the other hand, Zhao Changlin, upon hearing this, replied coldly and without hesitation: “Unless he can hide in there for ten or eight years, otherwise, keep a close watch on him.”
Hearing Zhao Changlin's words, Zhao Mo decisively chose to remain silent.
At this moment, he already understood Zhao Changlin's attitude.
Naturally, he wouldn't hesitate any further.
And at this time, personnel from other second and third-tier forces in Yun Province's beginner zone were also called over.
Night Shadow had killed their prodigy seeds.
The hatred these second and third-tier forces had for Night Shadow was no less than Zhao Changlin's, perhaps even more so.
Therefore, there was no need for Zhao Changlin to give orders.
They had already responded early to the Zhao Family's actions, dispatching a large number of elites from the beginner zone.
All of them were now arranged by Zhao Mo within the Dragon Abyss Legion.
However, currently in Dingfeng City,
besides the Dragon Abyss Legion and the elites sent by various other forces,
there were also many onlookers on the periphery, surrounding the entire Dingfeng City, making it impenetrable.
Zhao Mo didn't pay attention to this.
Instead, he let them block the area.
After all, this way, the probability of Night Shadow escaping would be infinitely reduced.
“What a grand display by the Dragon Abyss Legion, there must be at least a thousand people here.”
“Tsk tsk! It seems all the Dragon Abyss Legion in our beginner zone have been called, and if you add those sent by other forces, there are easily over two thousand people.”
“It seems Night Shadow has incurred public wrath this time, the Zhao Family's stance is that they will definitely not let Night Shadow off.”
“No need to say, so many prodigies from Yun Province died by his hand alone, if the Zhao Family and other forces don't get their revenge here, they will lose face completely.”
“Hmph! Didn't those self-important prodigies attack him first? They couldn't win and ended up dead, isn't that what they deserved?”
“Shush! Are you tired of living? If you keep saying that, aren't you afraid of being killed by those people?”
“Afraid of what? I'm hiding so far back, they can't hear me. I just can't stand the Zhao Family's poor sportsmanship.”
“That's true, but what can be done? It seems Night Shadow is in grave danger this time.”
“Yes! No matter how strong he is among the newcomers, facing over two thousand veteran Professionals at Level 90, he simply won't have a chance to survive.”
“Forget over 2000 people, even if the thousand from the Dragon Abyss Legion alone attack, Night Shadow will definitely not survive, after all, the Dragon Abyss Legion has a legion skill bonus, and with this bonus, the power an individual can exert has already surpassed that of normal Third Advancement Professionals.”
“Have you forgotten there are also five Level 180 Black-Clad Deacons there? I can't imagine how Night Shadow will survive.”
... Countless onlookers on the periphery whispered and discussed.
Although most of them felt greatly relieved by Night Shadow killing Zhao Peng and his group,
no one held any hope for Night Shadow's upcoming fate.
The Eight Great Families had ruled the alliance for too long.
Their deterrent power had long permeated the bones of every Professional.
In the past, there had been people who tried to resist the Eight Great Families, but the results were self-evident.
The Eight Great Families could stand until now; their foundation was simply not something one person could challenge.
Even if that person was a genius, it wouldn't work.
At this moment,
as everyone discussed, the previously calm entrance to the Path of Exile,
a faint ripple of light emerged.
However, it was such a subtle ripple.
Suddenly, the expressions of tens of thousands of people across the city changed.
“He's out!”
Someone suddenly cried out in surprise.
Immediately, the crowd erupted in a roaring gasp.
But this gasp lasted for less than half a second.
The next moment, everyone collectively held their breath, their eyes fixed on the exit of the Path of Exile.
At the same time,
Zhao Mo also waved his arm at the first instant.
Immediately, a thousand Dragon Abyss Legion members, along with over a thousand elites from other forces, all stood ready for battle.
“Deacons, it's up to you now.”
Zhao Mo said coldly.
Behind him, a Black-Clad Deacon, completely enveloped in a black robe and hood, replied in an incredibly hoarse and hollow voice.
“Rest assured, Legion Commander, we all understand the principle that even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit. The five of us will act together and definitely slay that little guy, a Level 60 First Advancement.”
Zhao Mo nodded.
At the same time, as the ripples finished shimmering,
a figure instantly appeared in everyone's sight.
The moment the figure appeared,
the Black-Clad Deacon who had just been speaking with Zhao Mo reacted extremely quickly.
“Move!”
Before he finished speaking, the five Black-Clad Deacons moved simultaneously.
Three of them charged fiercely towards the figure.
One wielded a sword, one a dagger, and another relied solely on his fists.
They attacked the figure from three different directions.
And behind them, the other two Black-Clad Deacons were not idle either.
One of them surged with magic power, and then, an incredibly fierce and massive beast emerged from the void.
Before anyone could clearly see the beast's form,
they saw a giant palm slap heavily towards the figure.
And the last Black-Clad Deacon had already nocked an arrow.
Although his movements were slower than the others,
the arrow, launched later, arrived first, carrying a series of explosive sonic booms, and rapidly shot towards the figure.
The cooperation of the five was extremely tacit.
In an instant, thunderous explosions echoed throughout Dingfeng City.
And the crowd behind, seeing this scene, all turned pale with shock.
The same thought emerged in everyone's mind.
Is this what a Level 180 Professional is like?
So strong!
