Shifeng's voice wasn't loud. His tone was calm and casual, but his words silenced the entire Trade Area.
The players on the street stared at the Shifeng in shock.
"Insane! He's insane! He dares to challenge the House of Seas by himself!"
"Does he know what he's saying?"
"Amazing! He should be a role model for our generation!"
…
The players on the street couldn't help but discuss the situation with excitement.
The House of Seas was Sea's End's overlord. Very few powers in Sea's End dared to provoke the House of Seas, yet a single player had actually declared war on Sea's End's overlord. Such a thing had never happened in Sea's End before. Normally, players would only hear of expert players killing these major powers' elite or expert members. Even so, such incidents would become a hot topic in Sea's End.
Now, however, a single player had openly declared war on Sea's End's overlord. Even if he was just boasting, his courage was worthy of admiration.
Meanwhile, the attentive players quickly spread the news to Sea's End's official forum.
A mysterious expert has publicly declared war on the House of Seas!
The moment the post appeared, it caused an uproar.
"Even if this person wants to die, he doesn't have to do this, right? Or is he planning to delete his account and start over?"
"He's underestimating the House of Seas. If the House of Seas doesn't kill him back to Level 0, they won't be able to survive in Sea's End in the future."
"I heard that the House of Seas forced that player to hand over 80% of his profits. Of course, anyone would resist."
"However, he's too irrational. The House of Seas has the advantage in numbers. They have plenty of ways to kill even Assassins. By the looks of it, he should be a Swordsman. If he goes out to level up, he'll suffer."
"That shouldn't be a problem. Look at that person's Black Cloak. I can't tell who he is. Even the House of Seas' members won't have an easy time finding trouble with him."
"What do you know? Don't you know that the various large Guilds have tracking experts? They also have tracking tools. Even if he has a Black Cloak, he won't be able to hide his identity. After all, the Black Cloak can only hide his basic statistics and appearance. It can't hide his body or class. In addition, the House of Seas has the advantage in numbers.
"This person is too amazing. Even if the House of Seas' members kill him back to Level 0, his name will go down in Sea's End's history."
The players on the official forum did not think highly of the Shifeng's foolish actions, but they were happy to see such a thing happen. It could be a joke in the bar, and it made people laugh.
Meanwhile, in Stormwind Town's trade district, several House of Seas members were stunned for a long time, wondering if they had misheard.
What a joke!
They were the House of Seas, the overlord of Sea's End. Very few powers in Sea's End dared to declare war on them. Moreover, even if these major powers were qualified to do so, they'd have to think long and hard before doing so. Unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn't take such a step.
After all, the outcome of a public declaration of war would either be victory and annihilation of the other side or defeat and be annihilated by the other side. If a Guild were to abandon the war halfway through, not to mention whether or not the other side would be willing to accept such an outcome, just the matter of the Guild's reputation would be difficult to resolve. This matter would have a significant impact on the Guild's development in the future. Hence, an outcome was necessary.
Yet, the shopkeeper of a grocery store had openly declared war on the House of Seas. This wasn't simply a matter of deciding the outcome between powers. This was an insult to the House of Seas.
"This is your answer?" the Level 43 Shield Warrior questioned coldly as he glared at the Shifeng.
"That's right. It doesn't matter how many times I repeat myself. If you want to fight, then let's fight," the Shifeng said nonchalantly.
The House of Seas indeed possessed extraordinary foundations. Unfortunately, the Guild was simply too far away from the Starmoon Kingdom. Even if his identity was exposed, he wouldn't be afraid.
Moreover, he still needed to rely on the Sea God's Blessing to earn long-term income. In addition, he also needed to save some for the Guild's reserves. Purchasing Runic Fragments in the long term was a certainty. If the House of Seas had only been a business competitor, he wouldn't have minded a fair competition. Since the House of Seas dared to stand in his way, he wouldn't mind bleeding the Guild a little.
"You're courting death!"
At this moment, the Level 43 Shield Warrior revealed a ferocious expression as he raised his hand.
Immediately, 200 players appeared on the street. These players all wore the House of Seas' Guild Emblem, and every one of them was Level 41 or above. Quite a few had even reached Level 43. Even the weakest piece of equipment they wore was Level 40 Fine-Gold rank, while quite a few wore four or five pieces of Level 40 Dark-Gold Equipment. Every one of these players radiated killing intent. It was obvious that they were the House of Seas' elite team.
These players completely ignored the NPC guards that had appeared on the street as they surrounded the Shifeng.
Unlike the players that had been tasked with ambushing the grocery store, these players had originally been leveling up and questing in Stormwind Town. They were elite teams led by the Guild's first-rate experts. They hadn't specifically been sent to deal with the Shifeng. However, since the Shifeng had publicly declared war on the House of Seas, these players had no choice but to take action.
Meanwhile, Scorpion, who watched from a distance, was ecstatic.
"Hahaha! This is great! This matter concerns the Guild's honor! Even if the House of Seas has to sacrifice its entire elite team, it won't let you leave this place alive!" Scorpion felt an indescribable joy as he glared at the Shifeng. The House of Seas had done them a huge favor. Immediately, he contacted Uncle Li and said, "Uncle Li, I've found an opportunity. The target is in Stormwind Town's trade area. The House of Seas' elite team has surrounded the area."
If they were tasked with assassinating the Shifeng, it would be very difficult to end the battle instantly. If the battle dragged on and the NPC guards arrived, killing the Shifeng would be even more difficult. Moreover, they wouldn't be able to escape. They would only be able to accompany the Shifeng in death.
They might have achieved their goal, but they would also suffer heavy losses. They wouldn't do such a thing. After all, unlike ordinary experts, they were peak experts. They couldn't afford to die so easily. Even if they did die, they would at least trade one for one. They wouldn't sacrifice a party of peak experts for a nameless nobody's life.
Now that the House of Seas' members had acted as a shield, not only could they pin down the NPC guards, but they could also expose the Shifeng's weakness, giving them an opportunity to deal a fatal blow.
With the House of Seas' members pinning down the NPC guards, they would have enough time to use special tools to escape the town. They wouldn't have to die with the Shifeng while completing their quest.
"That's enough. I've already seen the video on the official forums. We'll head over now. If you find an opportunity and are confident, don't wait for us. Just take action," Uncle Li commanded.
"Uncle Li, rest assured. That brat scammed me of over a hundred Gold. If I'm confident, I'll take his life with my own hands," Scorpion promised.
Scorpion had followed the Shifeng back and forth four times. The teleportation fee had been extraordinarily high. He had even borrowed over 100 Gold from Hundred Leaves. If he failed to complete his quest, he would be in deep debt. How could he possibly let go of an opportunity to kill the Shifeng with his own hands?
Even a peak expert would struggle against 200 House of Seas experts at once. Even the most ordinary of experts would have no choice but to run for their lives. Shi Feng had plenty of powerful Skills. He might not have any problems dealing with these House of Seas experts, but he was in a town right now. If he got careless and ended up hurting those who weren't attacking him, the NPC guards wouldn't let him off the hook.
Scorpion's movements would be restricted, and he wouldn't be able to use many of his Skills. Moreover, with so many players attacking him, even a Domain Realm expert would reveal many openings.
While Scorpion pondered, the House of Seas' 200-man team completed their encirclement on the Shifeng.
