Chapter 712: Shocking News
Pioneers were far more efficient in their actions compared to the native inhabitants of this world. This was especially true for Ace Pioneers like Wu Tian, Huang Ze, Zhi Xuan, and Mu Yunsheng. In just half a month, they had not only regained a considerable amount of combat strength but had also gathered their subordinates. Each of them now commanded over a hundred pioneers.
With subordinates at their disposal, they could establish connections with other factions.
Just like now, at Heaven's Gate in the Northcold Continent, Mu Yunsheng had gathered these renowned Ace Pioneers for a discussion.
As a seed candidate the Void Divine Treasury Hall highly favored, his strength and methods spoke for themselves. Calling himself the "Divine Child," he had won the trust of Bai Yan, the current ruler of Heaven's Gate, and was set to become its next leader.
Within six months at most, once he fully regained his Tier Ten Supreme Expert-level strength, assuming full control of Heaven's Gate would be practically guaranteed.

"After the last cycle, I believe all of you now understand who our true opponent is." Mu Yunsheng swept his gaze across the group. "One thing worth mentioning.... you should have heard the rumors circulating among the pioneers these past few days."
Wu Tian sneered. "Heh... that Li Pin. I admit he's powerful, but to turn Xiya into a forbidden zone and barring us from entering? He clearly wants to monopolize this divine treasure world! Who does he think he is to completely disregard us? The owner of the divine treasure world? Does he expect all of us to bow to him?"
Zhi Xuan remained composed. "No matter how unwilling we are to admit it, the fact that we've gathered here proves we recognize his strength—that none of us alone can defeat him. Mocking him only undermines ourselves. Instead of wasting time on that, we should focus on how to deal with him."
Huang Ze furrowed his brows, deeply concerned about Li Pin's strength. "Li Pin... what exactly is his talent? Our growth rate during the last cycle was already fast, yet his was even faster! Later on, he even surpassed the Ancient Gods! Though he ultimately fell at the hands of the Void Emperor... the power he displayed was beyond our comprehension. How did he achieve that?"
The others shared his unease.
