Although the players within the Yan Kingdom's imperial city were forcibly teleported out and the city's teleportation array could no longer be used, it did not mean that there were no other players in the area.
There were indeed many other players. When the battle between Yan Kingdom and the Immortal Guild broke out, many players flew out of the range of the imperial city. In addition, there were numerous players around the city engaged in defense construction tasks, so there were a lot of people around, roughly tens of thousands in the sky and on the ground.
Even further away, there were Japanese players present, though not many and they were of high level, as well as native inhabitants.
Atop the Guild's Sunset Villa, several people lifted their heads to look towards the sky.
The sky displayed an extraordinary phenomenon, with auspicious clouds enveloping it and golden light scattering from within, creating an extremely enchanting scene.
