Chapter 851 Entering The Dimensional Tower
The best choice for them was to run, but could they outrun these people? Viona was unsure about that because aside from her, Captain Wu Shuan, and Captain Zuo Ren, their subordinates were not Epic Rank.
"What should we do, Miss Viona?" Wu Shuan came closer to her as he motioned his subordinate to stay behind them. He was worried because these people were not so friendly at all. Fighting them was impossible as they could not win against these many people even with the whole intelligence division.
"We wait until Chief Lu An and the main force arrive and talk with them if possible," Viona whispered back. "Tell the other members not to come back until further notice."
"What are you whispering, girl? Let us hear it too," The man took two steps forward until someone slapped the back of his head. "Who slapped my—" his voice cut off at the sight of the two meters tall man.
"Me, so what do you want to do?" The two meters tall man replied with a firm voice. "Have you forgotten Advisor Igmar's words?"
The man who teased Viona cowered and lowered his head, "No, I am sorry, Captain Goosen."
"Return to your team!" Goosen commanded his subordinate to return with the others as he took five steps closer to Viona and bowed his head slightly. "I apologize on behalf of my subordinate, Miss. My name is Goosen, and we are from the Uprising Guild."
"Viona, Tang Empire," Viona replied with two words, her name and where she came from.
Goosen's expression changed slightly when he heard the Tang Empire from the purple-haired woman. Deep inside, he was relieved that he came in a time when he heard his subordinate make a ruckus in the back. He still remembered that Advisor Igmar's words very clearly in his head, "Don't ever offend the Tang Empire. If they offend the Tang Empire, then the punishment is getting executed on the spot."
Of course, Goosen understood the reason why Advisor Igmar told them not to annoy the Tang Empire as he attended the tournament too. The show of the dragon was enough even to deter their crazy Guild Leader.
"What is it? What happened here, Goosen?" Hearing the voice, Goosen straightened his back and turned around. "We have met people from the Tang Empire, Lord Zander."
The man called Lord Zander was the Uprising Guild's guild leader. The man called himself Warlord and told his people to call with the lord before his name. Zander was a head shorter than Goosen, but his aura was on a different level compared to Goosen. Zander looked toward Viona and was surprised by her beauty, but then he shook his head, "You take over from here on, Igmar. I am afraid I will do something that crosses the line."
After giving Viona a glance, Zander turned around and led his people to the other side of the plaza, leaving Goosen and a man with short stature. The Uprising Guild's members were averaging around a hundred and eight centimeters, but this one man was not even one hundred and seventy. The shortest one among the others, but this person held a high status within the Uprising Guild, Advisor Igmar.
Advisor Igmar raised both his hands to the air as he approached Viona, and Goosen followed in tow, "We mean no harm." Viona did nothing, but she asked them to stop when the two were five meters away from her.
"I apologize on behalf of my people if they offend you," Igmar put his right hand on his left chest and bowed.
"No harm done, so it's fine," Viona replied shortly.
"If I may know, where's the Tang Empire's area? We just want to make sure that we don't trespass the empire's area to avoid misunderstandings," Igmar asked with a smile.
"We don't have any area yet, but the Southern area should be ours from now on, so you can leave to the other side," Igmar's hair on his back stood up when he heard the voice because he felt the breath on the back of his neck. He turned around, but he did not see anyone right behind him aside from Goosen. For sure, It was Goosen's voice that just talked. He then turned back to Viona and found an additional young man with them.
'How?' Igmar questioned himself. He did not feel any presence from the young man at all. If the young man wanted to assassinate him back then, he would be helpless for sure. 'Oh, thank god that I managed to convince Zander not to fight the Tang Empire right away.'
Igmar maintained his composure despite his life being threatened just now. He maintained his smile and bowed his head slightly, "Then we will move to the other areas."

"I don't like this, Igmar. This doesn't feel alright at all. How can we just listen to whatever they say? Also, why did you bow your head? I can understand if that guy is their leader, but she is just a woman." Zander complained as soon as Advisor Igmar returned to his side. The fact that the Uprising Guild had to yield against the Tang Empire was enough to piss him off already.
"It's not like we have any other choices, Lord Zander," Igmar shook his head. "It's not like I like bowing my head to a random stranger too, but what can I do? Unless you have a solution to kill The Emperor and his dragon, we have to suck it up until we have enough power to destroy them. For now, let's leave them be and use this dimensional tower to upgrade our power."
Zander opened his mouth and closed his again. Despite his madness to fight the strong opponent, he was quite realistic to know his limit. The Emperor of the Tang Empire was not someone he could fight now.
"Alright, let's put that issue aside. We are safe for now because the Tang Empire will focus on the World Government, and the World Government will try to take down the Tang Empire. Let's watch the show from the sideline for now and focus on getting stronger instead," Advisor Igmar continued. "We will stay away from the Tang Empire for the time being and investigate the area around the tower."

A few minutes later, Zhang Mengyao arrived with the main force, one thousand and two hundred Tarriors in total. Zhang Mengyao followed Lu An to the district area.
"Should we buy the entire southern district?" Wei Xi glanced at Zhang Mengyao. "The district can become our operation base. While the dimensional tower is our main objective, this is our chance to take the whole of Greenland for ourselves, no? We don't know that this land might have a resource we need."
Zhang Mengyao furrowed her brow. If she had not upgraded the smart base, she would agree to buy the whole district to be their operation base. It was not that the Tang Empire did not have the money, but five hundred million Game Coins were too much. If they used five hundred million to buy the whole southern area, it would hamper the expansion in the main base. However, as Wei Xi said, the southern region can become their operation to conquer the land outside the city.
"Let's buy all the main districts in the southern area first. While buying out the whole southern area is cheaper, it is only fifty million cheaper. It's not like we will use all the buildings," Kang Xue shared her thoughts. "We will make the main district be our operation base, and we can buy the remaining district later if we need more space. Remember, only eleven factions including us can reach this place for now, and I don't think the other factions have the money to buy all the districts."
"Let's do that for now," Zhang Mengyao nodded, "Our focus, for now, is the dimensional tower, so we will arrange another team to explore the territory outside the city after we return from our first expedition inside the tower. I will buy the main district now. Get our people ready to enter the tower, Vice Supreme General Wei Xi." Wei Xi left with Marshal Alton as they arranged for the Tarriors to get ready.
In order to buy the district, Zhang Mengyao had to visit the district buy it. It took a while to purchase all fifty districts. Of course, she ordered the intelligence division's team to purchase the district.
A few minutes later, the Tang Empire's team arrived at the entrance of the dimensional tower. "Don't you need us to investigate the dimensional tower first, Sister Mengyao?" Lu An came closer to Zhang Mengyao and whispered.
"There's no need. We will just enter the tower together because we want to have a head start over the other factions," Zhang Mengyao shook her head. "However, we will need TEID to explore the area while the main force focuses on another area."
Zhang Mengyao arrived in front of the stone door with Lu An, Wei Xi, Kang Xue, and Marshal Alton. She glanced at the four and nodded her head before pushing the stone door. The door opened, and she was the first one to step into the tower.
