Chapter 1 An Impending Storm

Zero Wing Guild Residence, Conference Room.

The large conference room was filled with Zero Wing’s upper echelons, and the atmosphere was incredibly tense.

A great battle was imminent.

Although Zero Wing Guild had completely suppressed Ouroboros in White River City, the emerging Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion was far stronger than Ouroboros; there was simply no comparison between the two.

Everyone present knew the seriousness of the situation, and they knew that passing this hurdle would not be easy.

"Do you think I'm being foolish?" Shi Feng, sitting in the Guild Leader's seat, suddenly asked softly.

However, the answer he received was silent.

No one answered his question; they simply looked at Shi Feng, their legendary Guild Leader.

"Actually, I know even if you don't say it." Shi Feng smiled, his expression relaxed and comfortable. "Everyone thinks I'm crazy to dare to clash head-on with the first-rate Guild, Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion. To call it 'an egg striking a stone' is an exaggeration."

"So far, in the entire virtual gaming world, no Guild besides those Super Guilds has dared to oppose Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion. Why is that?"

"The reason is simple: they are too strong, so strong that they make other Guilds despair!"

"I think you also know that many Guilds are already preparing to take advantage of the situation. They are all watching us with covetous eyes, and no Guild believes we will win. They think we will undoubtedly lose and be removed from the scene. They are all thinking about how to get some benefits from us."

"Do you know why all this is?"

"I'll tell you why. It's because these people have never looked up to us. Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion is the same, and so are the major first-rate Guilds. They think we are weak, so they bully us, wanting to drink our blood, eat our flesh, and destroy us!"

"However, I'm here to tell them that they are all going to be disappointed."

"Since no major Guild has ever dared to fight Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, then today we will create that history, and let everyone know that our Zero Wing Guild is not to be trifled with. If you want to take something from us, you must first ask the swords in our hands."

"When enemies meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins! Today, Zero Wing will give Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion a lesson!"

As soon as Shi Feng finished speaking, everyone was filled with excitement.

None of them had ever imagined that this day would come.

In the entire virtual gaming world, no Guild besides the Super Guilds had dared to provoke Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion and fight them, but their Zero Wing dared to.

And their Guild Leader was leading the way.

"So what if they're a first-rate Guild? I've been disliking them for a long time! Today, I'm going to use them to have some fun!" Cola laughed excitedly.

"Hahaha, I've been waiting for you to say that, Guild Leader. Fighting Ouroboros all the time was boring. Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion has come at just the right time to test my recent improvements," Blackie said, licking his lips, looking eager.

"Guild Leader, tell us how to deal with Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion; I want to be the first to go!" Flying Shadow said excitedly.

"Truly crazy," Aqua Rose shook her head helplessly, then smiled. "But I like it!"

For a time, everyone began to joke around, and the oppressive atmosphere from before vanished without a trace.

Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion was super strong, but they weren’t noobs, powerless to resist. Since Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion dared to use its power to suppress people, then they would let Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion know that they had chosen the wrong opponent. The enemy they were facing was not a weak cub, but a ferocious beast with sharp teeth and claws.

"If I'm not mistaken, Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion will likely make their move after nightfall. Fire Dance, how is your preparation going?" Shi Feng turned to the sharp and charming Fire Dance and asked.

Based on Shi Feng's understanding of Nine Dragons Emperor, there was an eighty percent chance he would destroy Zero Wing's Guild Residence.

If the Guild Residence was destroyed, it could not be repaired within ten days, and as the price for being destroyed, all Guild members in the city would be penalized.

Not only would their levels drop by one, but the experience gained within ten days would be halved, and the Guild's reputation would decrease by 50,000. Even if the Guild Residence was rebuilt, the quality of Guild quests would be greatly affected.

And the best time to destroy a Guild Residence was at night.

Because the biggest enemy for players destroying a Guild Residence was not other players, but the patrolling NPC guards. These city guards were no small matter, all at Level 150, which was a nightmare for players; they could take out current players with a single move.

However, the number of patrolling NPC guards would change over time.

During the day, there were generally patrol teams of twenty, but at night, they would become patrol teams of ten, a difference of half the number, and the reduced losses were self-evident, leaving more combat power to destroy the Guild Residence.

And since Shi Feng dared to challenge Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, he naturally had some preparations, especially in White River City.

To destroy a Guild Residence, in addition to paying attention to the patrolling guards, there were also the Guild Residence's hired guards. Although the hired guards were not as strong as the Level 150 guards, they were also genuine Level 50 NPCs.

And the hired NPCs would have different prices depending on their strength. Ordinary guards cost 5 Silver Coins per day, and you had to prepay for ten days, while Tier 1 guards cost 30 Silver Coins per day.

Shi Feng was a Viscount and had been hiring fifty Tier 1 guards and ordinary guards to defend the Guild Residence, but this time, with Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion attacking, and since he had plenty of money anyway…

Shi Feng didn't hold back and changed them all to Tier 1 guards. There were quite a few people in the Guild with noble titles, especially since Shi Feng had long told everyone to pay attention to increasing their reputation, so the Guild members' reputations were not low.

People like Fire Dance, Aqua Rose, Blackie, etc., although they were not Viscounts, were still Barons, and each could hire 10 Level 50 Tier 1 NPCs.

In total, there were over 200 Tier 1 NPCs, and 200-plus Level 50 Tier 1 NPCs were no small force.

"It's all done. They are all hidden in the shadows, just waiting for the fish to take the bait," Fire Dance nodded, a playful smile appearing on her face.

Time passed little by little.

As everyone waited, God's Domain also entered nightfall.

Outside the Zero Wing Guild, on a neighboring street, was packed with people.

"Pavilion Master, the entire War Dragon Legion, one thousand strong, is in position," a handsome and extraordinary young man respectfully reported to Nine Dragons Emperor.

The entire War Dragon Legion was the most elite combat force of the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion, and had never been used to deal with Guilds other than Super Guilds. The entire legion of one thousand, uniformly equipped with Level 25 Fine-Gold Equipment, and many even had Level 25 Dark-Gold Equipment. Their levels were between 27 and 28, absolutely the peak levels in God's Domain. Everyone in the legion exuded a sharp, knife-like aura.

Just having a thousand people standing there gave people the feeling of a vast army, overwhelming and earth-shattering.

And among these people, the man reporting to Nine Dragons Emperor was even more extraordinary. He was the leader of the War Dragon Legion, Dragon Warrior, a Level 28 Berserker, wearing mostly Level 25 Dark-Gold Equipment. The greatsword behind him couldn't be identified by quality, but the blade tearing through the air was clearly not ordinary.

In addition to the War Dragon Legion's one thousand, there were nearly ten thousand elite players, all above Level 25. Just taking them out was frightening. Only a first-rate Guild could bring out so many elite players, but the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion could easily bring out nearly ten thousand. If it weren't for the cost of teleportation, the number would probably be several times higher.

Many people in the distance trembled when they saw this formation.

This was the terror of the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion; whether it was financial or human resources, it was not something a first-rate Guild could compare to.

"Hahaha, this time Zero Wing Guild is truly finished!" Feng Xuanyang, sitting in a third-floor private room, felt indescribably excited when he saw this scene.

"As expected of the leader of the War Dragon Legion, Dragon Warrior. Even from this far away, I can feel his terrifying aura," Five Ghosts said, looking at the handsome and extraordinary Dragon Warrior, feeling extremely apprehensive.

"Dragon Warrior is a true anomaly, completely inhuman. Even the boss has said so. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the leader of the War Dragon Legion. If we encounter him, we better not provoke him," Three Ghosts reminded.

Downstairs, Nine Dragons Emperor glanced at everyone, then waved his hand, pointing towards the Zero Wing Guild Residence, and said indifferently, "Go, leave no one alive!"
