Chapter 1 Yanhua City, Tianyan Luxury Hotel

As a top-three force in Yanhua City, the Tianyan Adventurer Group's Tianyan Luxury Hotel had almost become one of the landmark buildings. Not only did it have nineteen floors, but it also occupied the largest piece of land on Yanhua City's main commercial street, about the size of a stadium.

Moreover, the Tianyan Luxury Hotel had the best resting environment in Yanhua City. Because of its reasonable prices, many players and NPCs chose to stay there every day, and its popularity was in the top ten on the entire main street.

A petite black-clad female assassin, level 131 and wearing epic equipment, walked directly into the lounge on the top floor of the Tianyan Luxury Hotel, slowly approaching a majestic man sitting at a desk, sorting out information.

This imposing middle-aged man was none other than the leader of the Tianyan Adventurer Group, known as Lionheart Bloodboil, the Lionheart.

"Guild Leader, I've found the person you mentioned. It's Yuluo, the priest from the Knights Order."

"All the information came from her. Not long ago, she released information saying that a small auction would be held, and she did not plan to consign the items through the auction house. Instead, she planned to sell five Soul Crystals and fifty drops of Soul Water, which were slightly less effective." The black-clad female assassin took out a memory crystal and handed it directly to Lionheart Bloodboil. "This contains her video recording. In addition, she should only be acting on behalf of someone else. The real sellers should be the five people who entered Yanhua City with the Knights Order. There are also video recordings of them here. The leader, a man in a black cloak, is confirmed to be a Tier 4 Sword Emperor, but I couldn't find any information about him in the nearby main cities."

"Well done." Lionheart Bloodboil, wearing blood-red light armor and already at level 133, nodded slightly as he looked at the images in the memory crystal. He then looked at the vice guild leaders sitting in the hall and asked calmly, "What do you think about this matter?"

"This is simply trying to go against our Tianyan! Our offer was already high, and we gave that Tier 4 Sword Emperor some face, but they completely disregarded the Tianyan Adventurer Group!" A gloomy man standing by the floor-to-ceiling window said in a cold voice, "I think it's necessary to let these outsiders know that if they want to survive in Yanhua City, they must know their place! Moreover, we absolutely cannot let other forces in the city get their hands on the treasure that increases the success rate of Tier 4 class advancement!"

The other three vice guild leaders present nodded slightly, agreeing with the gloomy man's words.

Although Vice Guild Leader Zhu Feng Tianxia was cold and aloof, he was very loyal to the Tianyan Adventurer Group and the guild leader. Most importantly, Zhu Feng Tianxia had already advanced to the Tier 4 class, Darkwalker. In terms of assassination, he was definitely the number one player in Yanhua City, and their Tianyan Adventurer Group was already the strongest in Yanhua City in terms of top-tier combat power.

This was a great opportunity for their Tianyan Adventurer Group to completely control Yanhua City, so how could they allow other forces to rise suddenly?

Now that these outsiders were being so disrespectful, they definitely needed to be taught a lesson.

Even a Tier 4 Sword Emperor was useless, because Zhu Feng Tianxia not only had a top-tier hidden class but also obtained the inheritance of a special magic combat technique. Hidden in the shadows, he had a great chance of killing even a Tier 4 defensive class with a single strike, let alone a Tier 4 Sword Emperor.

"How about this, let's go talk to him first. If we can agree on a price, then everyone will be happy. If we can't come to an agreement, it won't be too late to break off relations," Lionheart Bloodboil said after thinking for a moment.

He agreed with Zhu Feng Tianxia's idea.

In particular, the Soul Crystal could strengthen a player's soul, and the strength of the soul was of great help in learning things. Even if it could only strengthen it a little, it would definitely be of great help when advancing to a Tier 4 class and learning Tier 4 magic skills.

They, the Tianyan Adventurer Group, had to control this kind of thing and absolutely not let other forces in the city obtain it.

With Lionheart Bloodboil's words, the four vice guild leaders present nodded in agreement.

"Chi Lan, go and find out where that Sword Emperor is right now. I need to know immediately," Lionheart Bloodboil then said to the black-clad female assassin.

"Guild Leader, don't you know my style?" The petite black-clad female assassin smiled triumphantly. "When you said you wanted to investigate this matter, I had already locked onto that Tier 4 Sword Emperor, so I had people watching their every move. Right now, that Tier 4 Sword Emperor has already arrived at the auction house, and it looks like he plans to rent an auction hall to hold a small auction."

"Good!" Lionheart Bloodboil looked at Chi Lan with great satisfaction and said, "Chi Lan, you and Zhu Feng will follow them secretly for a while, and then I will personally meet that Tier 4 Sword Emperor to see where he came from, since I can't even find out a single piece of information about him."

In fact, he was also full of curiosity about this Tier 4 Sword Emperor.

Because Tier 4 classes were extremely rare throughout the entire God's Domain. According to the information they had in the Tianyan Adventurer Group, a considerable number of main cities didn't even have two Tier 4 classes, and most main cities only had one Tier 4 class. The main cities that had two or three Tier 4 classes were all large cities with large populations.

Now that someone had become a Tier 4 class, instead of thinking of ways to manage the main city and expand its influence, they actually ran to other main cities. It was simply unbelievable.

"Yes!" Chi Lan and Zhu Feng Tianxia said respectfully.

Yanhua City, auction house.

As a major trading city, the auction house could be said to be the most prosperous place in the entire Yanhua City. The auction house was even larger than the auction house in the royal city, and there were many people buying and selling. Even magic ore, which was rare in the God's Domain Continent, was sold here in groups, and the price was very cheap.

Two hundred pieces in a group, only forty-nine magic crystals!

If this were outside, it would probably be snatched up like crazy, because magic ore was a symbiotic mineral, and the probability of its appearance was not high. The price on the God's Domain Continent was almost thirty silver coins per piece, and it was still very rare...

"It's a pity that I can't go back and forth between the two worlds at will, otherwise I could definitely make a killing and ensure that Zero Wing would never lack resources and funds in the future." Shi Feng sighed as he looked at the items in the auction house.

According to the old man, only ten people could enter at a time. The first time someone entered, it was free, but the second time they wanted to enter, they would have to pay a price.

If the price was lighter, it would be fine, but if the price was too high, the number of times he could enter for transactions would definitely be very limited.

Although he couldn't entrust this matter to others, the Ancient God's Domain was too involved. If he accidentally leaked the information, all the super forces on the entire God's Domain Continent would probably not do anything else unless they destroyed Zero Wing or controlled this resource. There would definitely be no third option to choose.

Afterward, Shi Feng spent five hundred magic crystals to rent a small auction hall that could seat up to two hundred people. This number was already enough for the major forces in the entire Yanhua City.

After Shi Feng finished arranging everything in the auction hall, and was preparing to quietly wait for the major forces of Yanhua City to arrive, a majestic and strong man with a resolute expression, wearing blood-red light armor and carrying a blood-patterned knight's great shield, walked over.

With the appearance of this man, the entire auction hall became silent. Everyone looked at this man in surprise. Not only players but also NPCs were full of admiration and awe for this man.

"Damn! Lionheart Bloodboil! It's actually the real person!"

"He's so handsome! He's much handsomer than in Tianyan's promotional posters, but why would such a big shot come here?"

"Could it be because of the news of the small auction earlier?"

Everyone was discussing Lionheart Bloodboil's appearance and was very curious why such a big shot would personally appear here.

"The leader of the Tianyan Adventurer Group! He actually came in person?"

Even Yuluo, who had just arrived, looked at Lionheart Bloodboil walking into the hall with her mouth wide open, unable to believe that it was true.

It wasn't that she was making a fuss, but Lionheart Bloodboil was really amazing. He was able to start from scratch in such a cruel world, defeat several large guilds, and become one of the top three forces in Yanhua City. It could be said that this achievement completely surpassed their Azure Blade.

Because on the Interstellar Continent, various living resources were extremely scarce. Ordinary civilians couldn't compare with the large guilds that controlled various resources, because these large guilds had big shots who controlled one side of the resources behind them, and the resources and privileges they possessed were simply incomparable to those of the large guilds on Earth.

A word from these big shots could immediately allow a player to move from the civilian area where they could barely eat enough to the core area, eat and drink well, and be able to move around freely in reality, admiring the vast cosmic wonders.

It could be said that this alone could easily defeat civilian players without any background.

Lionheart Bloodboil was just an ordinary civilian, and it was very amazing that he could do this. He was simply a heroic and legendary figure among civilians. If he were placed in the God's Domain Continent, he could definitely become a hegemon.

The big shot of Yanhua City walked step by step to Shi Feng's front. For a time, everyone present couldn't help but be full of curiosity about Shi Feng, who was wearing a black cloak, making Shi Feng feel very uncomfortable.

"You are the one selling the Soul Crystals." Lionheart Bloodboil looked at Shi Feng quietly and directly said, "I am Lionheart Bloodboil, the leader of the Tianyan Adventurer Group. I think you should have heard of me."

"Of course, I've heard of you. You can say that your name is like thunder in my ears." Shi Feng did not deny it and asked very calmly, "I don't know what you want?"

He had learned about Lionheart Bloodboil's information through Yuluo. He was definitely a hegemon, and his strength was even more terrifying. He not only mastered the Domain but also reached the second step. The depth of his immersion in the game was simply incomparable to the players of the God's Domain Continent. Even according to the information, Lionheart Bloodboil's control over magic had already reached the level of an advanced master, only one step away from a grandmaster.

Coupled with the special ancient inheritance class, Magic Blood Knight, he was definitely the strongest defensive existence among players, completely a monster.

It was precisely because of this terrifying defense that the Tianyan Adventurer Group had successfully cleared so many powerful bosses. They had even killed several level 120 superior legendary bosses, which was why they were called the Iron Wall of Yanhua by the players of Yanhua City.

"This is not the place to talk. How about we find a place to sit down and talk properly?" Lionheart Bloodboil scrutinized Shi Feng and was also surprised and puzzled by Shi Feng's special state, but this surprise was quickly put aside, and there was only basic respect for a strange Tier 4 expert.

"Alright." Shi Feng nodded, looked at the empty space not far behind Lionheart Bloodboil, and asked softly, "Are those two going as well?"
