Over five hundred players from the Alliance of Mages moved through the not-so-spacious forest, appearing somewhat crowded.
The warriors on the periphery were extremely nervous, moving very cautiously, which indicated the tremendous pressure put on them by the actions of King of the World, Sun, and others previously.
Tang Yao, Xie Yao, and Fond of the Sunny South had already sneakily approached them, at a distance of about thirty yards, the dense trees effectively blocking the sight of the players from the Alliance of Mages. Nie Yan had stealthily moved from another direction.
A few warriors from the Alliance of Mages cleared the trees, one of the shorter warriors suddenly became alert, stopped in his tracks, and his expression tensed up.
"There's a thief!" the warrior exclaimed in alarm.
The moment his words fell, beams of Illuminate shot up into the sky, descending in a torrent of white light that swept across the area.
