In the Void, two eighth-tier powerhouses clashed with each other, as if trying to put the other to death.
At least, that’s how it seed to those outside. In reality, those within the internal network could hear the two talking. They constantly discussed and agreed on each move before launching their attacks.
Though it appeared perilous, it was actually just a performance put on by two doppelgangers for others to see.
The two didn’t even go all out; they rely suppressed their powers to a certain extent. After all, it was only a show for outsiders, and it’s never wise to fully reveal one’s hand, is it?
Yet, even so, it made many people’s hearts race, for their displayed strength far surpassed that of others in the sa tier. If a real fight broke out, few believed they could win.
"These people, they must have exchanged for so cultivation thods, otherwise they wouldn’t display such prowess."
"Indeed, I never expected they’d be able to resist fast advancents and choose such a cultivation thod. That thod is incredibly difficult; I truly don’t know how they’ve managed to cultivate so many strong beings."
Of course, they knew about the cultivation thod; the speed of progress was too slow, so it wasn’t a common choice.
Once soone reaches the seventh tier, their foundation locks. Even considering cultivation thods afterward offers little advantage. Thus, those who cultivated before reaching the seventh tier and attained a certain height were very powerful.
The lower ranks didn’t know, partly because the upper ranks were too lazy to tell them, and partly to prevent them from going down the wrong path.
Indeed, they saw cultivation as a wrong path. Once one walks this road, advancing to the seventh tier becos difficult, effectively destroying many talents otherwise capable of reaching the seventh tier.
However, it was undeniable that those cultivated to the seventh tier were indeed stronger than the average at that level, and this remained true even at the eighth or ninth tier.
No wonder a Shadow Guild with so many strong cultivated individuals would make them feel heavy-hearted.
"No need to look further; after this, they definitely won’t be stable internally."
There were those who understood human nature deeply. After a major battle ended under everyone’s watchful eyes, news from within indicated that the Shadow Guild indeed had many issues.
Several worlds controlled by people were no longer fusing with the main world of the Shadow Guild; instead, they privately kept them separate. This was likely a preparation for forthcoming independence.
After all, being a top guild itself, post-division, one can’t take away the fused worlds, hence the need to prepare independently.
Otherwise, erging organizations from divisions wouldn’t stand a chance of reaching the tier of a top guild.
Seeds of internal division had been planted, leading to increasingly frequent upper-class battles within guilds, causing the void to beco more chaotic than before. If it weren’t for Du You’s control, this chaos could have spread widely.
Should such a situation arise, it could attract the attention of other surrounding worlds, which wouldn’t align with Du You’s interests.
For who would willingly share a top world with others, whether actively or passively?
"The internal discord within the Shadow Guild is even deeper than we imagined; who would have thought it had beco like this? If this continues, the Shadow Guild might not just split into two or three parts but completely crumble."
Everyone looked at the person executing the plan with even greater trepidation in their eyes.
"I didn’t expect this either; it seems the internal situation of the Shadow Guild is much more complex than we thought."
Of course, he had to deny his team’s power; the stronger they appeared, the more trouble they invited. Now, these guilds were conducting internal purges, clearly targeting them.
Who knew, he genuinely hadn’t infiltrated their internal systems with people; nurturing such individuals wasn’t easy.
"So, what do you think the final outco will be? Can you predict it?"
"How could I know? However, the way the Shadow Guild was previously structured led to mutual distrust among them. It’s quite normal for them to split. We can take this opportunity to win them over and prevent them from regrouping. You all know how strong a united Shadow Guild is, right?"
This guy hurriedly diverted the topic, lest the pressure beco too overwhelming.
Sure enough, soon others began discussing the affairs of the Shadow Guild. Though this guy was dangerous, the Shadow Guild was the most terrifying; who could have thought they would produce over thirty eighth-tier mbers in a guild?
If unnoticed, facing them would an having no resting place for one’s bones.
They were unaware that Du You dared to expose so many because he secretly had even more doppelgangers reaching the eighth tier. Even those who advanced to the late stage of the eighth tier were growing, and these doppelgangers had the potential to advance toward the ninth tier.
Without the power of the world’s will, nurturing them to the ninth tier wasn’t easy.
Of course, they didn’t need to be too strong; as long as they achieved the ninth tier, they could accomplish many things. Their true role was to assist him in dealing with other ninth-tier powerhouses in this world while arranging those in ninth-tier Derived Worlds.
As ti passed day by day, finally, six months later, their plan succeeded.
On this day, following the declaration of independence by the first branch, successive guild branches announced their independence. It was even more fragnted than they had imagined, with the guild splintering into over twenty different branches.
Because of this, battles between the branches and the headquarters grew fiercer, with more frequent internal conflicts.
They also discovered that these branches weren’t stable internally either, suggesting internal discord as well. However, due to the headquarters’ suppression, these tensions hadn’t surfaced yet.
Du You’s guild also divided. He wouldn’t let his side appear the sa as the headquarters.
His side beca a branch, even changing its na from Shadow Guild to Night Guild. Other breakaway branches also changed their nas.
The Shadow Guild’s overnight collapse caused a great stir.
Especially in the cities controlled by the Shadow Guild, everyone was discussing it. They didn’t know how the guild’s split would affect them or where their future lay.
Is there a future joining such a guild, or will it bring trouble in the future?
