Crowd control skills were extremely high priority for players because a good controller could easily turn the tide of battle in PVP. This was a fundamental concept that players had to learn before even playing the game.

For crowd control skills in >, there were only a few that had the effect of rooting multiple players at once. These were skills that were familiar to Ratty who was experienced.

However, such crowd control skills had their innate shortcomings.

Although the skills had an AOE effect, they had a long casting time and the target area was very telegraphed. Unless it was a top tier controller, a player of Ratty’s calibre could easily escape the effects of the skill.

If it was really as Tiger had said, that sounded too overpowered to be a skill attributed to a player.

“I am not lying, the boss also saw.” Upon seeing that Ratty did not fully believe his words, Tiger quickly defended himself.

Feng Yun Realm also added, “Hm, that’s right… There was a cloud of mist.”

Ratty was only confused over the effect of the skill that Tiger had claimed to witness. He did not doubt the veracity of what Tiger had recounted.

Feng Yun Realm was also their leader after all. How could he possibly openly express doubt in his words?

After a moment of thought, Ratty furrowed his brows and asserted, “I will go to the forum and try to get a better idea of what skills you guys have described. With regards to the City Lord Seal, I think you should use it right now in case any other mishaps occur.”

This was a timely reminder that even though the Quan Zhen Sect did not covet the City Lord Seal, there were many others biding their opportunity.

If they had gotten robbed in a tightly guarded place like Freedom City, one could only imagine the level of danger outside of it. There was no need to undertake additional risk by keeping it an extra moment longer.

“I want to do that too…”

Feng Yun Realm sighed bitterly, “However, I can only use it once we reach Sky Dragon City.”

“Then let us head back to Sky Dragon City!”

Ratty pulled out his dagger from his waist and with several other bodyguards, they escorted Feng Yun Realm to the port.

At this juncture, the members from Quan Zhen Sect had already boarded the airship back to Twilight City.

Everyone was safe and sound on the airship.

They exchanged pleasantries and hurriedly inspected their ill-gotten gains before logging off.

The design of the airship in > was very closely influenced by the design of real-life human airships. There were many players housed together in one small airship and there were bound to be conflicts that would occur from time to time.

The game designers had accounted for this and they specially added lounges to allow players to go offline. Once the player reached their destination, they would automatically be placed in the new port.

Of course, this flight time would mean your computer would just be idling…

…

On the side of Feng Yun Realm, since he still had the City Lord Seal on him, he could not rest easy. He mustered up all his energy to stay awake and decided to reach Sky Dragon City before going offline.

After boarding the airship, Ratty quipped, “Since everyone is safe, I will take my leave.”

The others beckoned him, “Ratty, stay with us! Why are you logging off first?”

Ratty’s eyebrows shot up as he replied, “What’s wrong? Do you think I’m going to sleep?”

“Isn’t that the case?” they countered.

“Haha!” Ratty chuckled, “I am going to investigate the mysterious fog skill. This is the order of the boss, am I right, Young Master Feng?” as he glanced over at Feng Yun Realm.

Feng Yun Realm was still reeling from the ordeal of getting robbed. Coupled with the fact it was in the middle of the night, Feng Yun Realm was completely drained. He slouched and waved Ratty’s concern away, “Yes, yes, yes… Go ahead. I will close my eyes for a bit. Call me when we arrive.”

“Did you guys see? This is Young Master Feng’s arrangement!” Ratty sniggered at them and went straight into the resting lounge.

“Sh*t!” When the others saw how Ratty got away with his excuse, they were blaming themselves for missing out.

An hour later, the airship arrived in Sky Dragon City.

Due to the fact that the former City Lord Wang Yu absconded with the city funds, Sky Dragon City did not even have money for reparations and the city was in a state of ruins.

Other than the well-established guilds like Peerless Heaven and Apocalypse, more of the other players had already left the city. Even some of the other guilds who had their headquarters in Sky Dragon City went to other cities in search of a more livable environment.

Sky Dragon City was truly a shadow of its former glory.

Feng Yun Realm also a citizen of Sky Dragon City after all. Seeing the tragic state of the city brought a deep sense of sadness in his heart.

“Haisss!” Feng Yun Realm once again sighed and took out the City Lord Seal. He declared under his breath, “The previous leader was incompetent and lacking in leadership. It is truly this city’s good fortune that I am in possession of the seal because I will be the one that leads this city back to glory!”

As he concluded his speech, a golden light flew out of the City Lord seal and entered into Feng Yun Realm’s body.

At this moment, Feng Yun Realm received a system notification.

You have gained Fame…

You have gained Honor…

You have gained experience…

After a series of notifications, the system announcement also reverberated through the air.

Announcement: Sky Dragon City players, Feng Yun Realm from the Heavenly Alliance has gotten the acknowledgement of the City Lord Seal and is now crowned as the new City Lord. He will lead his guild to undertake the task of rebuilding Sky Dragon City and his name will be forever etched in the history books.

The announcement repeated three times and it woke up Feng Yun Realm and his comrades from their sleepy stupor. They rushed towards Feng Yun Realm to shower him with praise, “Congratulations, Young Master, you are now the City Lord of our Sky Dragon City.”

Feng Yun Realm mood was indescribable. Upon hearing all the compliments, he beamed with joy and exclaimed, “Haha! Congrats, congrats!”

Just as everyone was still in celebratory mood, Feng Yun Realm heard a notification sound for a quest.

“Oh, I seemed to have taken up a quest.”

Feng Yun Realm proceeded to open his quest taskbar.

Upon seeing the quest, Feng Yun Realm’s face blackened instantly and his smile was wiped off his face.

A few seconds later he flew into a rage as he slammed the seal in his hand onto the ground, “F*ck!!!”

“????”

Tiger and the others were taken aback from the inexplicable 180-degree turn in Feng Yun Realm’s mood and inquired carefully, “What happened, Young Master Feng?”
