Dark Night Empire, Lightshadow City:
A gigantic, dark-purple crystal hovered above a towering tower. This gigantic crystal formed a magic barrier that protected the entire city. A large number of players, NPCs, and Dark Creatures such as Demons, Abyssal Demonkin, and Vampires roamed the city's streets. There were even more Dark Creatures here than in the kingdoms' Dark Cities.
Many neutral races even hawked their wares on the streets. This was an extremely rare sight in the Dark Cities of other empires.
Lightshadow City's prosperity rivaled that of the Dark Night Empire's imperial capital, Dark Night City. Lightshadow City also had far more races.
Meanwhile, a five-story, luxurious mansion stood on the bustling street of the city's central district. A large number of players entered and exited the mansion. These players were either well-dressed merchants or Level 54-plus experts.
The long line of players outside the mansion's entrance envied the Dark Night Empire.
"These people's levels and equipment are amazing! I feel that they're even better than the experts of first-rate Guilds! "
"Of course. Although Dark Soul isn't a Guild and is only an alliance, not only does it regularly organize Team Dungeons, but it also frequently plunder the various large Guilds' elite and main forces. Naturally, the weapons and equipment it obtains are of excellent quality. Moreover, the various large Guilds are helpless against it. Previously, a first-rate Guild tried to go all-out against Dark Soul, but in the end, not only did Dark Soul annihilate the Guild, but even the Guild itself has been annihilated."
"That's right! That's why Dark Soul is recruiting so many people this time. That's why I hurried over. It would be great if I could join this alliance. "
"Of course. If you join Dark Soul, you'll be able to do as you please in the neighboring kingdoms, let alone the Dark Night Empire's various large Guilds. Other Dark Guilds will have to treat you with respect. If you join Dark Soul, you'll be able to join one of the top five adventurer teams in the Copper Eagle Kingdom, Shadow Claw, and the Dark Hunters that have made a name for themselves in the Dark Night Empire. As long as you join Dark Soul, you'll prosper."
"I also dream of joining one of the top five adventurer teams. Unfortunately, the conditions to do so are too high. At the very least, you'll need to clear the Trial Tower's fifth floor and reach the sixth floor. Otherwise, you'll need to reach the Trial Tower's middle stage or above. You'll also need a Skill."
…
At this moment, several thousand Dark Players were quietly discussing Dark Soul, their thirst for Dark Soul overflowing.
Among the dark forces in the Darkness Empire and several neighboring kingdoms, Dark Soul's status was equivalent to that of super-first-rate Guilds and Super Guilds. While other Dark Guilds and adventurer teams feared ordinary large Guilds, Dark Soul did not. In fact, Dark Soul had even clashed with two super-first-rate Guilds.
This was something the Dark Players, who had been in hiding all this time, longed for.
Now that Dark Soul was openly recruiting members, independent Dark Players like themselves couldn't afford to miss this opportunity.
Meanwhile, in the office on the top floor of the mansion, a young man was standing by the window, quietly watching these players. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
This man was the leader of Dark Soul, Tiger Duan.
"Alliance Master, now that we've released the recruitment notice, we've already recruited over 2,000 players. In addition, over 30 well-known adventurer teams have expressed their interest in joining us. With these people and the Starline Corporation's resources, we'll be able to nurture two or three well-equipped expert legions very quickly," a Level 55 male Elementalist holding a withered wooden staff reported.
"Good! Pathless, you've done well this time. As long as the other adventurer teams deal with the Ling YI Society, I believe the Starline Corporation's resources won't be a problem, "Tiger Duan said, nodding as he smiled.
"Alliance Master, rest assured. I've heard that Black Shark and the others have discovered the Ling YI Society's upper echelons. The Dark Hunters and Shadow Claw adventurer teams have already begun their encirclement. I believe they'll deal a significant blow to the Ling YI Society. At that time, we'll also satisfy the Starline Corporation and send them a portion of their resources in advance," the Level 55 Elementalist named Pathless said, smiling.
Once the Dark Soul Corporation received all of its resources, it would become the overlord of the Dark Night Empire. At that time, it would continue to expand and become the overlord of God's Domain's dark forces.
Just as the two of them were chatting, Mo Wu Dao received a message. Opening it to check, his face darkened.
"Did something happen?" Tiger Duan asked curiously when he saw Pathless's grim expression.
"I've just received news … The adventurer teams that went to the Starmoon Kingdom to deal with the Ling YI Society are preparing to return …" Pathless said in a low tone.
"They're back? How did they deal with the Ling Yi Society so quickly? " Tiger Duan could not help his surprise. "No, that's not right. After all, the Ling YI Society is a large Guild that can rival first-rate Guilds. There's no way they could have dealt with them so quickly. What happened?"
"The Dark Hunters and Shadow Claw adventurer teams that went to deal with Ling Yi's main force were heavily injured by Ling Yi. Now, more than half of the adventurer teams are dead or injured. According to Veiled Spirit, the information the Starline Corporation gave them about Ling Yi isn't from the same Guild. Hence, the various adventurer teams' commanders have decided to return to Lightshadow City first to discuss how to deal with the Ling YI Society," Pathless said quietly.
"How is that possible? That's the Dark Hunters and Shadow Claw we're talking about! They're only going to deal with Ling Yi's main force. How could Ling Yi possibly injure them so heavily? Moreover, more than half of them are dead or injured … "Tiger Duan stared at Pathless in shock." Also, what did Veiled Spirit mean by 'not from the same Guild'? "
"Alliance Master, this is a battle video recorded by the players present. Why don't you take a look?" Pathless asked, confused. He then forwarded the video his subordinate had sent him.
"A battle video?" Tiger Duan clicked to play the video after receiving it.
In the video, the 2,000-plus members of the Dark Hunters and Shadow Claw adventurer teams revealed trump cards that shocked even Tiger Duan. Following which, the Ling YI Society's female Berserker quickly killed Black Shark. Then, she killed nearly a hundred experts with a single attack. Finally, Shifeng summoned a Black Dragon to kill the Magic Soldier. She then summoned her Personal Guards to slaughter the enemy players. In the blink of an eye, the two adventurer teams were at a disadvantage.
"So, this is the so-called Ling Yi that can rival a first-rate Guild?" Tiger Duan growled. "What the hell are the Starline Corporation's informants doing?! You call that a first-rate Guild?! A first-rate Guild's main force annihilated two of our adventurer teams?! Pathless, contact Lu Xingluo immediately! Tell him that if he wants to get rid of the Ling YI Society, he'll have to triple the price we agreed on! Otherwise, we can forget about this deal! "
