Chapter 1 An Invitation in Public

The invitation Chen Hui issued in public caused the members of Zhan Hun Bu Luo present to gasp.

Only now did they understand why Chen Hui, the vice president of the guild, would choose to betray Zhan Hun Bu Luo, and why he wasn't worried about violating the guild's contract.

Any guild has strict contracts for its high-level members. If they want to leave unscathed and keep their game accounts, there are only two ways: one is for the guild to voluntarily release them, and the other is to pay a high penalty for breach of contract. Even for a vice president who has worked in the guild for more than ten years, this amount is not a joke. It can be said that they would instantly become penniless.

Now, Xinghang Consortium is willing to pay the penalty and provide even higher compensation. Moreover, with the backing of the Xinghang Consortium, the future can be said to be limitless.

"Of course, I don't think you're interested in these things, so I'll mention something you might be interested in, like obtaining a Dream Star! This is something Zhan Hun Bu Luo will absolutely not be able to get their hands on. How about considering it carefully?" Chen Hui looked at the not-so-young Bu Mie Zhan Xin and smiled faintly.

Everyone present's eyes lit up when they heard Chen Hui mention the new condition.

Dream Star!

That is a special ore that humans painstakingly discovered in the interstellar era. It has only one function: as long as you wear it, it can subtly help humans maintain their youth for a long time. However, it does not increase lifespan. When combined with products sold by Green God Corporation, you can extend your youth by ten or twenty years without any exercise. In other words, middle-aged people in their forties and fifties with Dream Stars can be like young men in their twenties, and middle-aged women in their forties and fifties can return to the youthful beauty of their twenties.

The benefits are even greater for professional players who rely on their youth. Although the aging of the body in the outside world does not affect performance in God's Domain, older people are ultimately not as quick to react as young people, even if they have undergone various exercises to maintain a strong body. There will still be some impact, not to mention wanting to improve.

However, Dream Stars not only keep the body young, but also the brain, allowing one to always maintain the peak state of life.

Therefore, it is called Dream Star by everyone, and its value is so high that even rich families cannot afford it. Moreover, Dream Stars are extremely rare and cannot be bought with money alone. They require status and identity.

The Xinghang Consortium happens to be one of the consortia that can obtain Dream Stars themselves.

It can be said that what Chen Hui said is likely to be true.

"Dream Star? No wonder he betrayed us." Shi Feng looked at Chen Hui, who was around forty years old, and understood somewhat. For the vice president of a super-first-rate guild, money is no longer very important, but youth is something everyone pursues. With Dream Stars, Chen Hui can also restore his peak condition, and with his rich combat experience and skills, further advancement is not impossible.

Mu Ling Sha, who was beside him, couldn't help but nervously look at Bu Mie Zhan Xin. As one of the three pillars of the guild, if Bu Mie Zhan Xin, the first vice president, was also poached, it would be a devastating blow to Zhan Hun Bu Luo.

"So people strive to go higher, and water flows downward! Just for the so-called Dream Star, you're going to betray the brothers who fought alongside you in the past? I, Bu Mie, misjudged you! From now on, we are irreconcilable!" Bu Mie Zhan Xin glared fiercely at the man carrying the bone greatsword and Lu Xing Luo, who was always smiling beside him. "Wait! Our Zhan Hun Bu Luo will drive you out of the Dark Night Empire sooner or later! We will restore our former glory!"

The members of Zhan Hun Bu Luo, who had been greatly demoralized by the betrayal of Chen Hui, the third vice president, were ignited with high morale after hearing what Bu Mie Zhan Xin said, and they couldn't help but shout.

"Restore our former glory?" Chen Hui looked at Bu Mie Zhan Xin and the shouting crowd and couldn't help but laugh loudly. "What can Zhan Hun Bu Luo rely on to restore its glory now? Is it you, Bu Mie Zhan Xin, this old fellow? Or the ignorant young lady Mu Ling Sha over there? Or your pitiful collaborators from the Zero Wing Guild?"

"See clearly! Zhan Hun Bu Luo is finished. Now, you're just a bunch of useless old guys! We've already gathered more than fifty experts who have mastered intermediate magic arrays. Zhan Hun Bu Luo, don't even think about getting a single spot for the Minstrels!"

"No, you won't even be able to enter the Sea of Trees!"

As Chen Hui spoke, he raised his hand, and the Xinghuan Guild members standing around Zi Ye Square immediately took action. Each of them took out a piece of silver crystal and began to chant incantations.

Suddenly, silver magic arrays appeared around the square. These magic arrays shone with silver light, instantly connecting together to form a huge magic barrier, sealing everyone except the Xinghuan Guild inside, completely isolating them from the outside world.

"You can slowly play in this magic barrier. This magic barrier isolates everything, making the players inside feel like they are in a different space. Although it requires two hundred and eighty-eight players above level 50 to sacrifice five levels, you won't be able to get out of here for eight hours. So, we'll take our leave first." Chen Hui smiled at Bu Mie Zhan Xin inside the magic barrier, then took out the key and opened the teleportation entrance to the Sea of Trees in the square.

Zhan Hun Bu Luo and Chi Di members could only watch as the Xinghuan members all entered the teleportation entrance and disappeared in the center of the square. No matter how they attacked the magic barrier, they could not destroy it even by half, and even the NPC guards around them ignored the magic barrier and did not take any action.

"Damn it! Xinghuan Guild actually had this hidden move!" Bu Mie Zhan Xin frantically swung his battle blade to attack the illusory magic barrier, but all his attacks were as weak as if they were hitting the air.

Currently, the only place to go to the Sea of Trees is the central magic array in Zi Ye Square of the Dark Night Empire, but now they are blocked by the magic barrier, and even if they have the key, they cannot enter the teleportation gate.

If it is true as Chen Hui said that they cannot leave this place for eight hours, it means that they will be eight hours behind Zhan Hun Bu Luo. By then, the Xinghuan members will probably have completed at least one-third of their job transfer quests. How can they catch up if they go later?

Mu Ling Sha, who was beside him, looked at the blocking magic barrier with an ashen face. Zhan Hun Bu Luo had finally won the first kill of the level 50 team dungeon in the Dark Night Empire and breathed a sigh of relief. If Xinghuan takes all the spots for the Minstrels, the consequences for Zhan Hun Bu Luo will be unimaginable.

After attacking for more than two minutes, the members of Zhan Hun Bu Luo also completely gave up the idea of attacking the magic barrier in front of them and prepared to wait quietly. At this time, Shi Feng also walked towards the magic barrier step by step, took out a magic scroll from his backpack, and walked lightly, as if he were a tourist coming to enjoy the scenery of Zi Ye Square.

"Hmm, what is that person going to do? Does he also want to try this magic barrier?"

"It's useless to try. So many experts from our Zhan Hun Bu Luo and Chi Di Guilds attacked without any effect. What can a member of the Zero Wing Guild do?"

Everyone present looked at Shi Feng walking towards the magic barrier in surprise. Bu Mie Zhan Xin and Mu Ling Sha, who were standing in front of the magic barrier, also looked at Shi Feng in confusion. They had even tried the precious Tier 4 magic scrolls, but they were of no use against the magic barrier in front of them.

Even if Shi Feng used Tier 4 magic scrolls to attack, it would be meaningless.

Shi Feng came to the magic barrier and unfolded the Direct Guard Summoning Scroll in his hand.

Suddenly, a beautiful woman wearing a holy robe with golden hair appeared beside Shi Feng.

"Destroy this magic array!"
