Chapter 194 Undercurrent

Shui Se Rose watched Shi Feng leave, a wry smile appearing on her lips.

However, on second thought, it might not be a bad thing.

In the past, besides super guilds, no other guild dared to provoke the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion.

Now that the Zero Wing Guild dared to stand out, even if it lost, it would be a glorious defeat. Moreover, defeat in God's Domain didn't mean annihilation.

God's Domain wasn't as simple as other virtual games. How easy would it be to completely eliminate a large guild? It was like how Zero Wing wanted to drive I Smile倾城 (I Smile Qing Cheng) away. Even if Zero Wing killed them until they were in complete disarray, I Smile Qing Cheng was still doing well in White River City, just a bit more low-key, and their development was hindered.

Although the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion had many experts and abundant financial resources, it wouldn't be so easy to eliminate the Zero Wing Guild in White River City.

Besides, the Zero Wing Guild also had the Candlelight Firm providing gold coins.

"Alright, let's all go back and prepare. White River City won't be peaceful next," Shui Se Rose said before leading the team away from the Candlelight Firm.

Meanwhile, in the VIP room on the second floor, Shi Feng had already started discussing business.

"Guild Leader Black Flame, this move of yours is really hard to understand." Bai Qingxue's fair and flawless face showed deep confusion, and she couldn't help but ask, "Guild Leader Black Flame, do you know that there are seven first-rate guilds vying for supremacy in the Black Dragon Empire? Although two of those first-rate guilds aren't primarily focused on development in the Black Dragon Empire, they've still invested a lot. However, among so many first-rate guilds, only the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion has a small branch occupying the imperial capital. Why don't any of the other first-rate guilds have branches in the imperial capital?"

"Because the imperial capital isn't good," Shi Feng joked.

Bai Qingxue rolled her eyes at Shi Feng. He was obviously pretending to be ignorant, so she had to explain, "That's entirely because the branch leader there is Dragon Blood, one of Nine Dragon Emperor's most capable generals. Dragon Blood has a violent personality and loves to fight. His subordinates are a group of experts called the Blood Legion. Any guild that doesn't submit to the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion and dares to stay in the imperial capital will be confronted by the Blood Legion."

"The Blood Legion will secretly deal with these guilds. They'll even launch surprise attacks in the city to target the high-level members of these guilds, causing chaos and massive losses."

"These first-rate guilds don't want to tear apart their relationship with the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion right now and benefit others, so they've retreated from the imperial capital and are developing in other cities."

"If this Blood Legion comes, it won't be good for Zero Wing."

Shi Feng just smiled faintly after listening.

Of course, he knew these things, and he knew them even more clearly than Bai Qingxue.

The Blood Legion's reputation wasn't just for show. The entire legion was made up of assassins, a special assassination legion trained by the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion. Anyone who didn't obey would be killed back to level zero the next day, even if they stayed in the city.

Killing players in the city wasn't easy, especially in big cities. Not to mention the guards everywhere, even if you successfully killed someone, you'd be killed by the guards and receive a significant penalty. The penalty could be as light as a few days in prison, but if it happened too often and the circumstances were serious, you could be killed several times, imprisoned for more than ten days, and finally expelled from the city. If the player dared to appear again, the guards would attack and kill them.

Unless the player didn't care about losing a few levels and being imprisoned for more than ten days, or didn't want to stay in the city anymore, they generally wouldn't act in an NPC city.

In the early stages of God's Domain, guilds couldn't wait to split every minute in half. Being imprisoned for a few days or more than ten days would be a considerable loss, especially for experts.

Guilds treated experts like treasures. Even being imprisoned for a day would make the guilds feel the pain, let alone a few days.

However, the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion didn't care. They had plenty of experts. That was the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion's confidence.

"Forget it, I've already told you about the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion. I've been waiting so long. How many Intermediate Mana Armor Pieces are you planning to sell, Guild Leader Black Flame?" Bai Qingxue was speechless at Shi Feng's calm demeanor, but her own situation wasn't good right now either, so she couldn't help even if she wanted to.

"How many do you want, Miss Bai?" Shi Feng smiled, not explaining anything. However, he knew that Bai Qingxue wanted to help him, but she was just powerless to do so. He could understand that.

Hearing Shi Feng say that, Bai Qingxue thought for a moment before asking softly, "Can you gather enough for a fifty-man team?"

Everyone in the market knew the value of the Intermediate Mana Armor Piece. Even the guilds that cooperated only received 21, enough to equip nine people at most. It was very difficult to get more because anyone who could buy them wouldn't sell them.

Gathering enough for a fifty-man team was probably impossible for any guild other than the Zero Wing Guild.

"Sure, but the Candlelight Firm needs a large number of rare materials. In the future, most of the materials that Serpent's Kiss obtains must be sold to the Candlelight Firm," Shi Feng said.

Right now, Zero Wing could still provide the materials, but as the Candlelight Firm developed, it would definitely need more and more materials. The current Zero Wing Guild wouldn't be able to satisfy it at all, but with a first-rate guild like Serpent's Kiss providing them, there wouldn't be any problems.

"I'll notify my subordinates to send the materials over when I get back," Bai Qingxue nodded, thinking it was a good idea. She didn't have much money, and if she could exchange the materials for gold coins, it would be a great help to her.

After Shi Feng and Bai Qingxue finished trading, the news of Zero Wing's Guild Leader Black Flame provoking the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion spread throughout God's Domain.

As a super-first-rate guild, the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion received a lot of attention from the major guilds in the virtual gaming world for any small matter, let alone a guild daring to slap the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion in the face.

For a time, everyone started paying attention to the Star-Moon Kingdom, the Zero Wing Guild, and Black Flame.

"Damn, Black Flame is completely crazy. He even dares to slap the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion in the face. Does he not want to live anymore?"

"What do you know? That Black Flame is super powerful, a titled expert on the Wind and Cloud Expert List. Naturally, he has arrogance. How could he hand over the Candlelight Firm he opened?"

"I wonder what the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion will do?"

"Do you even need to ask? If they can't handle a guild like Zero Wing, what qualifications does the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion have to be called a super-first-rate guild?"

The God's Domain forums were all talking about Zero Wing and the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, while other super guilds were watching with amusement.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in a high-end restaurant in White River City was very strange.

"Pavilion Master, leave this matter to your subordinate. I will definitely make Black Flame regret it," the burly and sturdy Dragon Blood volunteered.

"I didn't expect to encounter such an ignorant person in this remote city. Now the entire God's Domain knows about it. Grand Pavilion Master even sent a message personally, saying that this matter must be handled beautifully, so that those super guilds know that our Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion is no longer a super-first-rate guild, but a super guild that is on par with them." The handsome Nine Dragon Emperor's eyes revealed a bone-chilling coldness, and his lips curled up slightly. "Since Grand Pavilion Master has instructed us, this matter cannot be so simple. Immediately notify the War Dragon Legion to come over. I will personally destroy the Zero Wing Guild's Residence!"
