I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

"Dragon Shield..."

As Li Wu silently recited the name, the scene he had witnessed downstairs immediately flashed into his mind.

Those swift and well-coordinated men in black uniforms, and the silver handcuffs that could suppress the power of awakened beings.

He guessed at the time that this was the power of the state.

However, he did not expect the other party to act so quickly.

It had only been a little over a day since the power descended, and they had already come knocking on our door.

"How many of them came? Did they bring weapons?" Li Wu asked calmly.

"There were three of them, in a black SUV. I didn't see them carrying any heavy weapons, but they all looked menacing," Steel Shield replied.

"What kind of person is the leader?" Hua Zitong asked immediately, her expression unusually serious.

"A middle-aged man, probably in his forties, wearing a black Zhongshan suit, looked quite ordinary, but..." Steel Shield tried hard to recall, as if searching for a suitable word to describe him.

"But he gave me a feeling of danger. Like...like a mountain, standing there silently, but you just feel like you can't breathe."

Immovable as a mountain!

Upon hearing the description of the steel shield, Li Wu and Hua Zitong exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of seriousness in each other's eyes.

The fact that even the main tank like Steel Shield felt such immense pressure indicates that the opponent's strength is definitely extraordinary.

"I know who he is," Hua Zitong said slowly, taking a deep breath.

Her voice was soft, but it carried clearly to everyone's ears in the quiet conference room.

"If I'm not mistaken, the person who came should be Chen Yan."

"Chen Yan?" Lin Hai asked疑惑地, "Is this person very famous?"

"In our District 21, of course nobody knows him." Hua Zitong's gaze became somewhat distant, as if she were recalling something from a long time ago.

"But in District 1, his nickname was more famous than his real name."

"Immovable Mountain, Chen Yan".

"He was among the earliest awakened individuals in China, a top-tier shield warrior in the first region, and one of the founders of the Great Wall guild. A true level 100 powerhouse who fought his way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

A level 100 expert!

These four words were like four heavy hammer blows, striking hard into the hearts of Lin Hai, Immovable Mountain, and others.

The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Shock and unease were written on everyone's faces.

Even if a level 100 expert's strength is suppressed to only 10%, they are still an existence that can crush all of them.

Was their visit really just for "integration," as Steel Shield claimed?

Or are they here to "clear out" the area?

"What's the panic!"

Just as everyone was feeling uneasy, Li Wu's voice rang out.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a stabilizing force, instantly calming everyone's minds.

"We'll meet force with force, and we'll dam water with water. Since they've already come knocking, we can't hide from them."

He stood up and his gaze swept over everyone present.

"We are the [Myth] Guild, not some pushover. Even national organizations would have to ask my bow for permission before they can touch us."

His words, brimming with powerful confidence, instantly dispelled the fear in everyone's hearts.

Yes, what are they afraid of?

They have a president!

That man who could shoot an arrow through a bronze statue!

Even if the opponent is a level 100 expert, their strength will be greatly reduced when synchronized with reality.

If they really start fighting, it's hard to say who will win or lose!

"Let's go down and have a look at him."

After Li Wu finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the door of the conference room.

Hua Zitong followed closely behind.

Lin Hai, Immovable Mountain, and the others exchanged glances and immediately followed.

……

[Myth] Guild Headquarters, First Floor Lobby.

The once bustling hall was now completely silent.

All the guild members retreated to the sides of the hall, watching the three people standing in the center of the hall with tense expressions.

There were three people, two men and one woman.

Two young men and women stood behind them, their expressions stern and their posture upright, clearly indicating that they were well-trained soldiers.

Standing at the very front was a middle-aged man wearing a black Zhongshan suit.

He is Chen Yan.

He had an ordinary appearance and average build, and would be easily overlooked in a crowd.

But he simply stood there quietly, his hands behind his back, creating an invisible aura that enveloped the entire hall.

Every guild member whose gaze swept over them felt as if they were being stared at by a prehistoric behemoth, and even their breathing became cautious.

This is the aura of a level 100 expert.

Even with 90% of its power suppressed, it is still terrifying.

Just as the atmosphere in the lobby reached its most oppressive point, the elevator doors opened with a "ding".

Li Wu led Hua Zitong and the others out of the elevator.

Chen Yan's gaze immediately fell upon them.

His gaze passed over Li Wu, who was walking at the front, and landed directly on Hua Zitong behind him.

His brow furrowed slightly.

It seems somewhat unexpected.

Li Wu's gaze also fell on Chen Yan.

He could clearly feel the steady and powerful energy emanating from the other person, like a mountain.

Very strong.

He was stronger than any opponent he had ever faced before.

But he was not afraid.

"So you're the guild leader of the [Myth] guild, 'Seeing Through the Fog'?"

Chen Yan spoke first, his voice deep and resonant, carrying an undeniable authority.

"It's me," Li Wu replied calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.

He stopped three meters in front of Chen Yan.

"I am the person you are looking for."

Chen Yan's gaze then shifted from Hua Zitong to Li Wu's face.

He looked Li Wu up and down, a hint of surprise flashing in his deep eyes.

He also sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from the young man in front of him, who looked somewhat immature.

That aura was sharp, concentrated, and full of destructive power.

Like a peerless divine weapon hidden in its sheath, though it has not been drawn, its sharpness cannot be concealed.

"Interesting." These two words flashed through Chen Yan's mind.

Before he arrived, he had already reviewed all of Li Wu's information.

The first guild creator in Area 21, ranked number one on the level leaderboard, single-handedly crushed three major guilds...

These results are indeed impressive.

But Chen Yan didn't take it too seriously.

In his view, this was nothing more than children playing house in the beginner village.

But now, having seen Li Wu in person, he realized that he had underestimated this young man.

"Minister Chen, I've long admired your name."

Just as the two were facing off, Hua Zitong stepped forward and spoke first.

She nodded slightly to Chen Yan.

"You know me?" A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yan's eyes.

"Chen Yan, 'Immovable Mountain,' one of the founders of the Great Wall Guild, I think many people know you," Hua Zitong said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Upon hearing Hua Zitong's words, a look of realization finally appeared in Chen Yan's eyes.

He turned his gaze back to Li Wu and said bluntly:

"You probably already know why I've come."

"On behalf of the nation and the newly established Dragon Shield Bureau, I formally invite the Myth Guild and the two of you to join us in maintaining order and stability in New Beginning City."

His voice echoed in the hall.

invite?!

He said it was an invitation, but his tone was more like an invitation that couldn't be refused.
