"What is going on here?"

"Could it be that Chasing Light City is completely unaware of the grey-clad individuals?"

Alek observed Diroya's expression; with his keen senses and many years of experience in reading people, he was certain that City Lord Diroya was also somewhat clueless about the grey-clad individuals, as if he had no idea what was happening.

"The grey-clad individuals?"

At this moment, even if Diroya was slow, he could understand that the grey-clad individuals Alek referred to must have caused substantial trouble for Star Tower City, perhaps even being the force that attacked Wind Fury Town.

However, no matter how much Diroya racked his brain, scrutinizing every corner of his memory, he couldn't find any clues or information about the grey-clad individuals. This made him hesitant to speak recklessly, so he could only gaze at the others in the hall in frustration, hoping someone could give him a hint.

Otherwise, the so-called peace talks might only happen in dreams.

But as Diroya glanced around, he found that all the deputy city lords in the hall were also baffled, knowing nothing about the grey-clad individuals.

Just as Diroya was feeling hopeless, Yino, who had been standing in a corner of the hall conducting defense duties, suddenly stepped forward.

"City Lord, could the grey-clad individuals that Lord Alek mentioned be disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall?" Yino asked hesitantly.

With Yino's words, the once noisy hall suddenly quieted down, with everyone staring fixedly at Yino, the leader of the Defense Corps. Even Alek couldn't help but look over.

"Disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall?"

"Yino, are you sure?"

Diroya looked at Yino with disbelief in his eyes.

Although Lin Qi's strength is formidable, to claim that a few disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall could make Star Tower City surrender is hard to believe.

"Are you saying those grey-clad individuals are disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall?"

Even Desolate Wolf couldn't help but look at Yino, his gaze seemingly devouring, filled with shock and disbelief, feeling as if this person from Chasing Light City was toying with him.

The Holy Blood Mercenary Group had wholeheartedly cooperated with Star Tower City this time because Lin Qi, the Hall Master of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, had eliminated their genius, not sparing any of his companions either.

Now they were being told that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall they sought to besiege was actually this demonic power; how could they believe that?

Considering the overwhelming power of those grey-clad individuals, which even the entire Chasing Light City together could not compare, numbering in the hundreds of Vice City Lord level experts, could extinguish Chasing Light City several times over. Such a power couldn't possibly be established by a Deputy City Lord of a city.

Surrounded by everyone's unwavering eyes, Yino felt a chill, but nonetheless affirmed, "The disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall are divided into two categories. One is the externally recruited disciples, who don't have a uniform attire and dress casually, usually wearing the emblem of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. The other category is the internally-trained disciples, who all wear silver-grey clothing. If the grey-clad individuals Alek referred to have a connection with Chasing Light City, they would have to be the disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall."

Regarding the grey-clad individuals Alek spoke of, Yino was quite certain it was the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, having personally witnessed how those disciples dealt with the Bone Forging Realm experts of Star Tower City.

It was nothing short of a one-sided crush.

If there were enough of those true disciples of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, causing trouble for Star Tower City wouldn't be impossible.

"Can I see the attire of those Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall disciples?" Alek asked.

For such matters, he needed confirmation. Although he instinctively didn't believe it, he couldn't dare to fool around with the task the City Lord had entrusted to him, or he'd be finished.

"I don't have photographs or images of them here," Yino said somewhat awkwardly.

Although she wanted to foster a closer relationship with the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, it was mainly because of Lin Qi, so she hadn't specifically gone out of her way to make records in this regard. However, there was plenty of information and images about Lin Qi, although what Lin Qi wore was entirely different from what the disciples wore. Showing it wouldn't be of use.

"I have some."

As the room fell into another silence, Wu Zhuoqun, who had led Alek and another person over, clicked on his Smart Watch and displayed some everyday training images of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall's disciples.

"It's really them!"

Desolate Wolf stared intently at the images of those training Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall disciples, their silver-grey attire identical to the grey-clad individuals who attacked Wind Fury Town.

This also left Alek's eyes wide open with astonishment.

A power established by a Deputy City Lord of Chasing Light City, able to subdue their Holy Blood Mercenary Group and Star Tower City, who would believe this?

But now the facts were in front of them, leaving no room for disbelief.

At this moment, not only did Desolate Wolf and Alek feel immensely shocked, but everyone in the hall was equally astonished, especially Wu Zhuoqun, who was somewhat dumbfounded.

Judging by Alek's attitude and Desolate Wolf's expression, anyone not foolish would know that the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall definitely caused significant trouble for Star Tower City and the Holy Blood Mercenary Group. Otherwise, why would they come for peace talks?

For the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall alone to make two major forces of the Mist Mountain Region surrender, such strength is simply incredible.

After a commotion in the hall, Diroya smiled and looked at Alek.

"Now that you understand the situation, can we begin the following peace negotiations?"
