Shifeng's tone was cold. Although his voice was soft, Gentle Snow could hear Shifeng's determination and anger.
"Guild Leader, are we really going to take action?" She felt that Shifeng was being too hasty. "Beast Emperor might be doing this on purpose. His goal is to lure us into a neutral map. If we allow his main army to enter a neutral map, without the kingdom's army's protection, those powerful Evil Beasts and Evil Demons can inflict heavy damage on us, weakening our strength and suppressing the prestige and reputation we gained during the Guild War."
Although the Ling YI Society had defeated the Sky Burial Society's Evil Demon army, Ling YI Society had expended a significant amount of resources during the battle. Other Guilds might not be aware of this, but as the Ling YI Society's Vice Guild Leader, how could she not know?
After this battle, the Guild only had around 20,000 Magic Crystals remaining. If they had to face the more powerful Evil Beasts and Evil Demons, they'd likely run out of Magic Crystals very quickly. Without the movement-type defensive magic array's protection, the outcome would be very different.
The Evil Demons and Evil Beasts were all Level 60-plus, and the majority of these monsters were Chieftain rank. Even Tier 1 players weren't guaranteed to kill these monsters in a one-on-one, not to mention, there were so many Chieftain ranked Evil Demons and Evil Beasts. Above these Chieftain ranked Evil Demons and Evil Beasts were also Lords, High Lords, and Great Lords.
If they had the Baphomet they had fought against Heaven's Burial, they might've had an easier time. However, Shifeng had already told them that the Baphomet was a Consumable. He had already used it during the battle and couldn't summon it again.
Finding trouble with the Beast Emperor just like that was not a wise move.
"Of course!" Shifeng nodded. Confidently, he said, "Moreover, we have to catch Beast Emperor and his army off guard!"
It wasn't that he didn't understand why the Beast Emperor was doing this.
Currently, in the Starmoon Kingdom, the Ling YI Society was at the peak of its power. Through the reputation and deterrence they had obtained from this battle, in addition to the expert players attracted by the advanced combat rooms, the Ling YI Society's future potential was obvious.
If they did not take advantage of the fact that the Ling YI Society had yet to develop and suppress them, or even deal a heavy blow to them, they would become even more troublesome in the future. Therefore, they had sent out an army of demons and beasts to surround the Primordial Divine Ruin so that the Ling YI Society would not be able to obtain the resources inside the Primordial Divine Ruin.
This way, regardless of whether the Ling YI Society took action or not, it could suppress the development of the Ling YI Society.
It was likely that Beast Emperor had already thoroughly investigated Ling Yi's combat strength after the battle. After all, the guild had grown so large, so there was bound to be some information that leaked out.
If it were any other Guild in Shi Feng's place, they would most likely be conflicted over whether they should take action or not.
Unfortunately, he didn't know how to!
He might not be able to do anything about Ancient Rock City, but the Evil Beasts and Evil Demons outside of the city were not as invincible as he thought.
"Notify Aqua immediately and have her gather 1,500 experts in Ling Yi City. It's best if they are trustworthy people. We should also let Beast Emperor know that the neutral zone does not belong to him alone!" Shifeng commanded.
"Fifteen hundred people? Isn't that a little too little? " Gentle Snow was a little confused when she heard Shifeng's words. Previously, she had thought that Shifeng was going to mobilize the entire Guild's strength to fight Beast Emperor, but now, he had only gathered 1,500 experts. She couldn't help but feel that it was all bark and no bite.
"That's more than enough. In any case, have everyone gather as soon as possible and keep it a secret." Shifeng smiled mysteriously. He then disconnected the call and retrieved the Abyss Pendant. He then teleported to the Lost Town, which he had marked with the coordinates he had prepared to take over the town.
Lost Towns were towns left behind by ancient civilizations in God's Domain. Every one of them was very special, and the various superpowers fought over them. Naturally, the sooner they took over, the better.
Boneless Land, Lost Town:
When Shifeng returned to the Lost Town, he noticed that some monsters had already spawned in the town. Although the number of monsters wasn't as high as when he had first entered the town, the town was still quite dangerous for players.
However, Shifeng did not hesitate to activate Gale Domain and make his way to the sinkhole in the town's center.
The sinkhole looked like a path to a Demon's den. A magic array enveloped the area, and a small hole was located at each node of the magic array. These holes were the perfect places to insert Darkness Stones.
Shifeng had long since collected the required number of Darkness Stones, so he quickly inserted them into these holes. With each additional Darkness Stone, the sinkhole shrank as if it were shrinking. At the same time, the pressure the sinkhole radiated grew stronger.
Moreover, an indescribable domain spread throughout the Lost Town, preventing players from using Skills, Spells, and Magic Scrolls.
By the time Shifeng inserted the tenth Darkness Stone, an angry roar came from the sinkhole. Following which, a Level 65, Tier 2 Demon appeared before him.
Since he couldn't use Skills or Spells, he had to rely on his own strength to defeat the Tier 2 Demon. However, the Tier 2 Demon's Skills, Spells, and Basic Attributes were far superior to those of Tier 2 players. Even though the Tier 2 Demon's HP had decreased further, it still had a huge advantage in melee combat.
Unfortunately, Shifeng's Bible of Darkness suppressed the Tier 2 Demon. Not to mention, Shifeng's Basic Attributes were already frightening, far surpassing those of Tier 2 players.
After a few minutes, the Shifeng effortlessly killed the Tier 2 Demon.
By the time Shifeng inserted the 70th Darkness Stone, the Demon that emerged from the sinkhole had become a Tier 3 Great Lord. However, due to the suppression of its Basic Attributes, the Demon was still powerless against the Shifeng of the same level.
By the time Shifeng had inserted the 80th Darkness Stone, the mental pressure even caused his consciousness to blur, not to mention other players. Most likely, they would've long since collapsed to the ground.
By the time the final Magic Crystal was inserted, a frightening mental pressure spread throughout the Lost Town. Even the Shifeng couldn't move. Following which, the magic array slowly rose into the air before vanishing. At the same time, the sinkhole in the heart of the Lost Town transformed into a black dot, vanishing without a trace. It was as if the sinkhole had never existed.
After the mental pressure dissipated and the Shifeng recovered, the sound of a system notification reached his ears.
System: Congratulations! You have completed the Epic ranked Main Storyline Quest "Demon's Lair." Rewarding the Lost Town's Town Order.
System: Congratulations! You have obtained the Lost Town's Town Order. Do you wish to bind the Lost Town and become its ruler?
After hearing the system notification, the Shifeng could not help but breathe out a deep sigh of relief.
If he had failed to complete the quest, he would've been hunted down by a Tier 5 Demon King. Aside from staying in an NPC city, he would've died no matter where he went.
Following which, the Shifeng agreed to become the Lost Town's ruler without hesitation. From now on, the Lost Town would truly become the Ling YI Society's first town in a neutral map. The Guild would be able to construct a Guild Residence in the Lost Town and allow Guild members to freely travel between the two locations. They would no longer have to waste time traveling between the two locations.
Meanwhile, after the Shifeng became the town's ruler, the monsters inside the town vanished. Now, players could freely travel between the town and the town without having to worry about monster attacks. The town's functions would also be fully open to him.
In less than 30 seconds, NPCs began to appear in the town, one after another. It was as if he had arrived in a new world, nothing like the Lost Town.
The Shifeng quickly arrived at his destination.
