“I don’t object!” said Helan Shang. He was on good terms with Gongsun Changjue, so he did not object.

Furthermore, it did not matter if they were other strong fighters in the Third City. The important thing then was to join forces and defeat other city clusters first.

Of course, Helan Shang was no fool. At this very moment he was wondering if Su Mo might be in the Third City.

After all, Su Mo belonged to the Dragon Tribe, and now it was Long Shuangshuang who showed up to propose an alliance. He had to wonder if Su Mo was behind this.

“I don’t object either!” the Flaming Devil Ghost Sage said flatly. His thoughts were similar to Helan Shang’s. Regardless of whatever was going on in the Third City, forming an alliance could do no wrong.

Anyway, forming an alliance did not mean that the enemy of an enemy was a friend. It all depended on the situation.

“Since the three of you don’t have an opinion, we have no opinions either!”

“I agree!”

“I also agree to liaise with the Third City!”

Afterwards, many spoke up. After Long Yu and the two others agreed to form an alliance, they also had no opinion.

“Alright, since everyone has no opinion, let’s discuss our next course of action!” said Long Yu aloud.

The crowd nodded. Helan Shang paused before he spoke, “At present, the situations in other cities are completely unknown. How shall we act?”

“Once we make the first move, we’ll certainly be targeted!” the Flaming Devil Ghost Sage reminded them in a faint voice.

In his opinion, forming an alliance was fine, but it would not be advisable to strike first.

“But we can’t just wait here. I plan to test whether what we know of the Fourth City is true!” Long Yu said.

He certainly knew that waiting for change was the best way, but surely someone had to throw the first stone. Otherwise, if everyone kept waiting, when would the Thousand Selection Fight end?

“Brother Long Yu, how do you plan to do that?”

“I’m going to test out the Fourth City’s base. If it’s not strong, I’ll defeat it in one fell swoop!”

A sharp flash of light flickered in Long Yu’s eyes. Their Second City was strong enough. Not only did they have three Young Masters holding the fort, they also had about twenty powerful fighters, all of whom had training as high as Ninth Grade.

“Brother Helan, Brother Flaming, what do you think?” Long Yu asked.

“You can try, but don’t get in over your head. Be mindful of the news from the other city clusters!” the Flaming Devil Ghost Sage reminded him.

“Right, let’s see what’s going on in the Fourth City!” Helan Shang nodded and paused a while before turning to Long Shuangshuang, “What else does the Third City know about the other city clusters?”

They had barely stabilized the Second City and missed the chance to check on the others, most of which had managed to launch their moat formation. All except the Ninth City, but even so they had not checked it out.

“Prince Gu Mo is in the Eighth City, other than that, we don’t know much about others!” said Long Shuangshuang.

Once she had said that, the eyes of two Demons among the crowd sparkled. So it seemed their prince was in the Eighth City.

“Alright, you go back first. We’ll check out the Fourth City. Once we sound for attack, you have to provide support immediately!” said Helan Shang.

“Right!” Long Shuangshuang nodded and turned to Long Yu and the two others from the Dragon Tribe, “I’ll go now!”

“Go now!” Long Yu nodded.

And so, Long Shuangshuang rose into the air, penetrated the moat formation, and returned to the Third City.

…

In the Third City, Su Mo stood in mid-air, staring directly at the Second City.

At the same time, he was watching the other cities. If they could think of forming alliances, so could the others.

His divine thoughts were constantly scanning everywhere. He could feel all kinds of divine thoughts out there. Everyone in the nine cities was searching for information.

But, Su Mo did not find anyone outside. Of course, if there was anyone, they would be moving in secret. They would not be found out so easily.

Whoosh!

It was then that he saw Long Shuangshuang flying out from the Second City towards the Third City.

“Open up the formation!” Su Mo ordered the people. Very quickly, the formation cracked open. Long Shuang managed to return safely without being attacked again.

“How did it go?” Su Mo asked.

“The negotiation went well!” And so, Long Shuangshuang informed Su Mo and everyone else in detail about her trip and the situation in the Second City.

“In that case, let’s wait for the Second City to act!” Gongsun Changjue exclaimed.

“Right!” Su Mo nodded. Patience was required to win, and he was not in a hurry to get things done.

“How goes the investigation of this moat formation?” Su Mo surveyed the people and asked solemnly. He wanted to know the power of this moat, so he asked several of them to check.

“Su Mo, this moat cannot hold. Its power isn’t strong. If hundreds attack at once, I don’t think it can last ten breaths!” someone said.

“Ten breaths, you say?” Su Mo paused. He had not expected the moat to be too strong, otherwise this Thousand Selection Fight would be meaningless.

The formation’s power could last ten breaths. All was well.

“Hmm?” Right then, Su Mo froze. At that moment, a large group of people had flown out of the Second City.

This group, headed by Long Yu, consisted of no less than sixty people. After leaving the Second City, they flew to the Fourth City in a mighty manner.

“It’s starting so soon!” Su Mo squinted. Long Yu had acted faster than he’d thought!

That was fine. If they acted early, perhaps the other cities had yet to form alliances.

Among the sixty or so from the Second City, Helan Shang and the Flaming Devil Ghost Sage was not in sight. It seemed the two had stationed themselves in the Second City.

“They are strong enough. They should be able to find out the base of the Fourth City!” Gongsun Changjue whispered.

“Everyone at the ready! If other cities intervene, we fight!” Su Mo sounded out his orders.

Everyone else nodded.

Very soon, the army of sixty, including Long Yu, approached the sky above the Fourth City and halted before the moat formation.

“Break it!” Long Yu shouted. He made the first attack by grabbing at it fiercely.

Suddenly, a huge golden dragon claw emerged and grabbed the moat firmly.

Rumble!!!

The rumbling shook the sky. The formation shook as well, but was otherwise unscathed.

Rumble!!!

The other sixty followed suit, unleashing an all-out attack on the moat.

Rumble!!!

As it was being attacked by blow after blow, the formation shook much more violently, as though if it might break at any time.

Rumble!!!

Long Yu and his team did not stop. They kept on attacking the formation. They could tell its power was limited. It would only take about ten breaths to break it open.

However, they also tried to distance themselves from the Fourth City as much as possible, because if there were too many strong players in there after the formation broke, they would have to retreat to the Second City.
