Chapter 1 A Bar in Star-Moon City

A bar in the slums of Star-Moon City.

A middle-aged man in a silver robe glanced around, and after confirming that he wasn't being followed, he walked straight into the bar.

Inside, besides a bartender NPC, only a white-haired young man dressed in exquisite black leather armor was quietly sitting at the bar, drinking a bottle of vodka. Sensing the silver-robed man enter, he turned to look at him, smiling as he said, "You're finally here. It seems Hei Yan didn't give you an easy time. How did things go with what I asked you to do?"

The middle-aged man in the silver robe was none other than Xiao of the Seven Crimes Flower, also the first expert in the Vacuum Realm personally killed by Shi Feng through his own strength.

Xiao had a high position within the Seven Crimes Flower, already considered a cadre-level figure. Normally, the members of the Seven Crimes Flower felt nothing but awe and fear towards Xiao, avoiding him at all costs, afraid of offending the eccentric Xiao. But the white-haired youth chatted and laughed freely.

If the members of the Seven Crimes Flower saw this scene, they would probably be shocked beyond belief.

"Just as you guessed, he can take the undying soul of players, but I didn't find that item on him. But this has really screwed me over. I couldn't log in for three days straight, which caused my level to fall behind quite a bit, and I even dropped a superb pair of shoes. How do you plan to compensate me?" Xiao looked at the gloating white-haired youth, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

"Alright, it's just a pair of superb shoes. How about this?" The white-haired youth smiled and took out a level 35 Dark-Gold ranked boots from his backpack.

Currently, the mainstream level of the remaining players was only level 30, elite players were around level 33, and expert players were around level 35. But the white-haired youth casually took out a level 35 Dark-Gold ranked boots and gave it to Xiao. If the guild leader of any other guild saw this scene, their eyes would pop out.

Level 30 Dark-Gold equipment was already very difficult to obtain at the moment, let alone level 35 Dark-Gold equipment.

"That's more like it, otherwise it would damage your reputation, Yin." However, Xiao wasn't surprised, and calmly accepted the boots. "But you're really strange. Why didn't you go find him yourself? Why have me test his strength and check if he has that item? Isn't that a waste of time? With your level, it should be easy to find a good opportunity to kill him."

"You don't understand. There's only one chance to get that item. If you alert him, there might never be another chance to get it."

"But it's a good thing I didn't go, otherwise, based on the situation at the time, it would have been difficult for me to kill him. Besides, he didn't have that item with him, so even if I killed him, it would have been useless." Yin shook his head and chuckled, "But I'm not in a hurry about this. Anyway, besides the thing he obtained, there are still several other places I need to go. But you need to keep an eye on him and report his situation to me at any time."

"As for the benefits I promised you, I will arrange them as soon as possible, but don't forget one thing: only you and I know about this news. If I find out that the news has been leaked... you know the consequences!"

Xiao trembled slightly as Yin glanced at him, and he quickly said, "I understand."

Yin was a true high-level figure in the Seven Crimes Flower. In the history of the Seven Crimes Flower, Yin was the first person to become a high-level figure at such a young age. His strength and methods were naturally evident. If he offended Yin, he probably wouldn't be able to survive in God's Domain, and the same would be true in the real world.

...

Fire Dragon Empire, the imperial capital Yanlong City.

The number of empires in God's Domain wasn't small, but there were four empires that were far superior to the others. One of them was the Fire Dragon Empire.

The capital of the Myriad Beasts Empire had a population of just over ten million, but the number of players in Yanlong City was even higher, reaching over thirty million. Myriad Beasts City couldn't compare to it at all. It was also one of the four commonly used venues for the Dark Arena.

Moreover, Yanlong City was extremely vast. Star-Moon City and White River City were like children in front of Yanlong City.

Outside the underground arena of Yanlong City, a large number of players had already gathered.

These players were either of prominent status or overlords in God's Domain. None of them were easy to provoke.

Ordinary players couldn't enter this place at all because it had been completely isolated by several super guilds. If any player dared to mess around, the end result would be complete elimination from God's Domain. Therefore, apart from those who had been invited, no other players dared to approach this place.

"Sister Qianyu, it's almost time. Those people still haven't arrived. Should we have the others prepare?" A lively beauty in a luxurious purple mage robe whispered to Feng Qianyu.

"The time hasn't arrived yet. It won't hurt to wait a little longer. If it really doesn't work, then let them go up." Feng Qianyu glanced at the lively beauty beside her and said with a smile, "Qing Huang, I know you look down on Zero Wing from the bottom of your heart, but Hei Yan is, after all, an expert who defeated Long Wu. Not long ago, he even killed Xiao of the Seven Crimes Flower. His strength is already at the peak of God's Domain."

Qing Huang's reputation in the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion wasn't below Long Wu's. She was one of the strongest combatants that the Phoenix Pavilion had secretly cultivated at great cost. However, Long Wu had comprehended the Domain earlier, so she couldn't compare to Long Wu within the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, but she was still a top expert in God's Domain.

Originally, Feng Qianyu planned to have Qing Huang be the leader of the team she had formed this time, in order to make a big profit.

But Hei Yan suddenly appeared, which made Feng Qianyu plan to have Hei Yan be the leader, so that she could better hide behind the scenes and not be discovered that this team had something to do with her.

"But that Hei Yan looks down on us too much. This team slot was hard-earned by you, Sister Qianyu. The competition is about to start, but they still haven't arrived, which shows that they don't take this matter seriously at all. How can such people do their best in the team competition?" Qing Huang said indignantly.

Just as Feng Qianyu was waiting quietly, a beautiful woman in a seductive purple robe, exuding a luxurious aura all over her body, appeared in front of Feng Qianyu.

"Isn't this Miss Qianyu? I didn't expect that after so many years, you're still just a small pavilion master. If you had agreed to my brother's conditions earlier, you wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state." Liu Shishi said with a smile, but her eyes were filled with mockery.

"I was wondering who it was. So it's Miss Liu Shishi, who was just defeated by the emerging guild Zero Wing." Feng Qianyu covered her mouth and snickered.

After being said this by Feng Qianyu, Liu Shishi was like a cat whose fur had been ruffled, gnashing her teeth at Feng Qianyu.

"Feng Qianyu, don't be complacent. I'll let you know sooner or later that all your efforts are in vain. Your fate has already been decided and cannot be changed. Even the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion can't help you in the slightest, let alone you're just a small pavilion master!" Liu Shishi snorted and stomped away.

However, after Liu Shishi left, Feng Qianyu's expression also became somewhat gloomy.

...

"Sister Qianyu, the time has arrived. The organizer has already started urging us. What do we do now?" Qing Huang asked.
