Chapter 1 The Gathering

Within the solemn Heavenly Burial Residence in Star-Moon City, large numbers of free players gathered before the main gate, each quietly waiting for the Heavenly Burial Guild's membership review.

This was something unimaginable for the Heavenly Burial Guild in the past, but it had now become a common sight in Star-Moon City, and everyone was accustomed to it.

Just as the free players were waiting in silence, a clear neighing sound suddenly echoed through the streets, drawing everyone's attention.

"Wow, so many mounts!"

"These can't be ordinary mounts, right?"

"These must be warhorses! I heard warhorses are at least Bronze-grade mounts. The Heavenly Burial Guild is too amazing, actually getting their hands on so many warhorses."

"I must join the Heavenly Burial Guild. If I get a batch of Bronze-grade warhorses, then my time in God's Domain won't be wasted."

More than a dozen players riding various types of warhorses entered the Heavenly Burial Guild, eliciting envious gazes from the crowd, especially towards the beautiful and valiant woman leading the group, who left a lasting impression on everyone.

This beautiful woman not only wore exquisite equipment but also rode a snow-white warhorse clad in silver armor, resembling a goddess descending to earth, radiant and charming.

And this goddess's name was known by everyone in Star-Moon City.

The Ice Witch, Wu Xia!

The reason for this title was that Wu Xia single-handedly wiped out a hundred-man elite team from the Galaxy Alliance outside a dungeon. Afterward, the Galaxy Alliance sent out many experts, including Chi Yu, who was famous on the Wind and Cloud Rankings.

However, the final result was that they were all defeated by Wu Xia alone. Even Chi Yu, an elder of the Galaxy Alliance, was personally killed by Wu Xia.

Especially when dealing with the experts sent by the Galaxy Alliance, Wu Xia's skill in manipulating ice magic was simply divine. She even used a large-scale ice-type destruction spell to turn the entire area outside the dungeon into a world of ice and snow, leaving no survivors within its range. Because of this, she was revered by some players as the Ice Witch.

The title of Ice Witch was also spread among the masses, and over time, the players in Star-Moon City all referred to Wu Xia as the Ice Witch.

"So beautiful, I must join the Heavenly Burial Guild and then join my goddess's command."

"Dream on. Do you know that Wu Xia commands the Ice Mist Legion of the Heavenly Burial Guild? Only the elite of the elite can possibly enter. You're not even a formal member yet, and you want to join? Keep dreaming."

Among the many free players, many were actually captivated by Wu Xia's charm, which was why they came to the Heavenly Burial Guild. Otherwise, they would have gone to the better Blackwater Guild long ago. After all, everyone knew that the Blackwater Guild's backing was the Blackwater Conglomerate. Which player hoping to make a name for themselves in the fighting world didn't want to join the Blackwater Conglomerate?

…

"Guild Leader, is there something you need from us that you suddenly called us back?" Wu Xia walked into the Heavenly Burial Conference Hall, looking at Yi Xiao Du Zang, who was sitting high on the Guild Leader's throne, her eyes full of questions.

Sitting in the conference hall were also many of the guild's higher-ups. Apart from a few masters of life professions, the others were generally level 40. This scene would make ordinary players' legs go weak because none of the level 40 experts present were not top experts in the Star-Moon Kingdom. Even the guild leaders of large guilds would have to give them some respect.

"Sit down first, and I'll tell you later!" Yi Xiao Du Zang pointed to the Vice Guild Leader's throne next to him.

Hearing Yi Xiao Du Zang say this, Wu Xia was even more surprised.

Almost all of the Heavenly Burial Guild's higher-ups were present. Some could not come because they were dealing with important matters, but Guild Leader Yi Xiao Du Zang's meaning was that they were still waiting for someone.

"What's going on?"

As Wu Xia walked to her Vice Guild Leader's seat, she suddenly noticed that there was also an empty seat next to the Guild Leader's seat. This seat was actually on par with the Guild Leader's seat…

In fact, Wu Xia wasn't the only one in the entire conference hall with this question; everyone had it.

Yi Xiao Du Zang was their Heavenly Burial Guild's only boss. At the same time, he single-handedly managed the entire guild. It was impossible for anyone to sit on equal footing with Yi Xiao Du Zang. Even the current Guild Leader of the Blackwater Guild, Qi Yi Tao, couldn't.

Just as everyone was waiting in confusion for more than ten minutes, the heavy stone door of the conference hall suddenly opened with a bang.

"Who is she?"

Everyone turned their attention to the person walking in from outside the door, but suddenly they discovered that the person walking in was actually an unparalleled beauty. This radiant and dazzling young woman wore a luxurious purple robe that draped to the ground, highlighting her graceful curves to the fullest. Three thousand strands of black hair cascaded down her slender waist, and every step she took seemed to tread on the heartstrings of everyone present, involuntarily making them look over.

"How can there be such a person?" Wu Xia's beautiful eyes were also wide open. She didn't expect there to be such a woman in the world. Even she felt inferior and was very moved.

Because of the appearance of this young woman, it was as if this space was centered around her…

"Isn't that the Moon God Robe?" The priest Yan Xue said in shock, seeing the luxurious purple robe on the young woman.

The others were also shocked when they heard Yan Xue say this.

The Moon God Robe might not be known to ordinary players, but it was quite famous at the Blackwing City Advanced Auction. As an Epic-grade robe, the starting bid alone was 4,000 gold, which was comparable to an Epic-grade weapon. In the end, it was bought by a mysterious player for 7,600 gold.

At the time, many players ridiculed this mysterious player for spending so much money to compete with a noble NPC for an Epic-grade robe, when they could have spent a little more gold to buy prime real estate in a large city, which would have been a very profitable venture.

They never expected that the person who bought the Moon God Robe was this stunning beauty.

Immediately, everyone activated their Observation skills, wanting to get a closer look at this stunning beauty.

But suddenly, they discovered that even Advanced Observation skills could not read any information.

"Sorry, I'm late due to some matters," the young woman said softly, looking at everyone after sitting down.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, let me introduce you. This is Miss Ling Jingxuan, the representative of the Blackwater Conglomerate. She's here mainly to explain the strategy for capturing Stone Forest Town," Yi Xiao Du Zang introduced to everyone, but even Wu Xia and the others could see the awe in his words towards Ling Jingxuan.

Although it was just a simple introduction, everyone present was stunned.

The fact that the Guild Leader was in awe of Ling Jingxuan was one thing, but they didn't expect that the matter they were going to discuss was actually about taking down Stone Forest Town…
