Two half-moons hung in the sky, and in the center of a wide-open valley, a gigantic, brightly lit deep brown city stood there, emanating an unshakable aura.

At this moment, the city gate was already open, revealing glimpses of the bustling blocks within.

Although the city gate was open, dense flashes of Magic Flow Light occasionally flickered around the gate area, clearly obstructed by an invisible barrier, and teams of robust guards stood neatly, undeniably indicating that this place still had extremely comprehensive defense measures.

Needless to say, this was our Administrator's Shadow Market, and the opening of the city gate meant that the advanced market had officially begun.

The valley where the market was located was named Yingming Valley, which happened to be at the intersection of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, the Desert Alliance, and our Flower Demon Territory, a location Leo Ray had specially discussed with the Administrators.

At the height of Yingming Valley, accompanied by an imperceptible gale sweeping through, a team of figures faintly exuding a majestic aura had emerged,

Only to see the leader, with a robust humanoid figure, removed his hooded cap, revealing a beast-like face akin to that of a lion, especially notable for his thick dark golden hair and the mane around his neck resembling a scarf, making him extremely striking.

This person was the leader of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and also the Clan Leader of the Lion-man Clan, Loris.

The sound of light hoofbeats arose, and by Loris's side, an equally robust Centaur Clan elite stepped forward, overlooking the majestic Shadow Market within the valley, with deep and spirited eyes.

This was the Vice Leader of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, the Centaur Clan Leader, Thomas.

With the emergence of the team of powerful figures led by the two, even the surrounding space slightly twisted, and a dangerous aura mixed with wildness and hostility emanated.

"Leader, this advanced Shadow Market gathering is clearly very sudden and hasty, why have you accepted the invitation to come?"

Thomas's face, covered in a dense beard, showed a hint of bewilderment, furrowed his brows, and said.

"Of course, I, as the leader, know there must be something intricate involved, but the invitation explicitly states that the centerpiece item is the Tier 6 Divine Weapon I've dreamed of! There is even Tier 6 Armor! This is something the Administrator of our territory personally confirmed and strongly recommended me to come."

Loris's lion-like face was full of longing, licked his lips, and said: "No matter who the original owner of the Tier 6 Divine Weapon and Tier 6 Armor is, this time I, as the leader, am determined to obtain them!"

"After all, not long ago, I accidentally acquired something sufficiently comparable, if the owner recognizes its worth, it might be possible to directly exchange for a set."

"As for what's really going on, I, as the leader, don't care. Regardless, this is a Secret Realm Market with complete defense measures, although the Administrator who sent the invitation is said to be the least impressive, it surely won't lead to any trouble, right?"

At this point, a hint of disdain surfaced on Loris's beast-like face, continuing: "Moreover, even if there's a conspiracy here, would I, as the leader, be afraid of them?"

"Haha, the leader is indeed mighty."

A hoarse and elderly female voice sounded, and in the rear of the team of powerful figures, a small figure slowly floated out, with the silver-white moonlight silhouetting her wrinkled and old face, also showing two pairs of wrinkled, semi-transparent wings slowly flapping, almost like a miniature old witch.

This person was also an elder of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, Elder Susan, the Clan Leader of the Water Elf.

Old Susan's eyes twinkled with a cunning light, "Giggle" laughing strangely: "The leader has secretly deployed our most elite 30 Tier 4 Legions nearby, which is comparable to the grand combat power of 300 Tier 3 Legions, even if a Grand Army pressures the borders, we would not be afraid. Not to mention, a sea of Tier 3 Legions is always on standby, not to mention our secret weapon is also ready at any time."

"But I always feel, currently we are at swords drawn with the forces led by the Emperor of the Human Race, and coincidentally this advanced market is held right now, it inevitably raises suspicion in people's hearts."

Thomas's brows furrowed deeper, even his tail flicked slightly.

"Vice Leader, could it be that you think it's the Emperor of the Human Race who hosted this Shadow Market, and those sixth-order equipments were brought out by the Emperor of the Human Race?"

Loris's lion-like face was full of contempt, dismissively said: "Utterly ridiculous, he is at most a lucky guy who accidentally found an ancient Secret Treasure, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Haha, what the leader said is absolutely right, this time we deployed troops to the border not only to deal with the insignificant Emperor of the Human Race, but the Desert Alliance is our biggest opponent."

Old Susan's wrinkled face showed a few traces of hostility, echoed: "If the Emperor of the Human Race could engage early with the Desert Alliance, that would be great."

"Besides, the chosen location for this advanced market, Yingming Valley, is also quite intriguing, surely the Desert Alliance would also be invited."

Thomas's brows remained tightly furrowed, speaking again: "Each of them is extremely difficult to contend with, undoubtedly secretly amassing heavy troops at the boundary."
