After Black Flame's appearance was revealed, there was not a single player in White River City who did not recognize him. …
"Guild Leader Ling Yi, Hei Yan!"
"Why is it him?"
"No wonder he's so strong."
At this moment, the members of the various large Guilds could not help but grow nervous.
If Hei Yan were only an outsider expert, they would, at most, be surprised. However, it was a different story for Hei Yan. Not only was he terrifyingly strong, but he also had an entire Guild behind him.
"You …"
Drunken Maniac's eyes nearly fell out of their sockets when he saw the Shifeng slowly approaching him. He was speechless for a long time.
Drunken Maniac had only been tasked by Lone Tyrant to clean up some independent players. He had never imagined that he would encounter Hei Yan, who was known by everyone in White River City.
Not long ago, Shi Feng had killed Dark Star's Guild Leader, Lone Tyrant, amidst an army of thousands. Now, Drunken Maniac only had a few hundred players by his side. In terms of combat techniques, he was no match for Lone Tyrant. How was he supposed to survive?
"Guild Leader, you've really put me in a difficult position this time." Drunken Maniac smiled bitterly in his heart.
As for escaping from the Shifeng's grasp, although Drunken Maniac was arrogant, he was not stupid. The Shifeng's previous attack should have taken his life, yet, it had not.
Why was that?
Were they trying to say that taking his life was as easy as pie? They could do so at any time.
"President Hei Yan, I truly did not think that you would grace us with your presence. Although I am definitely no match for you, President Hei Yan, if you wish to kill me, I will not resist. However, today, I am not just representing Dark Star. I am representing the many Guilds in White River City. President Hei Yan, if you do this, you will make the Ling YI Society stand against the many Guilds." Drunken Maniac did not wish to die. Moreover, he did have a certain amount of confidence; the many large Guilds behind him.
Although Drunken Maniac was righteous and had the support of many large Guilds, the Shifeng's footsteps did not stop because of this.
"President Hei Yan, Drunken Maniac is the representative of many of our Guilds. If you kill him, you'll be slapping all of our Guilds' faces. I hope that President Hei Yan will consider this carefully," a member of a third-rate Guild called the Three-Headed Hounds suddenly said as he stepped forward.
"That's right. That's right. Your Ling YI Society might be powerful in White River City, but we're not that easy to bully. When the time comes, it won't be good for either of us to fight to the death. President Hei Yan must consider this carefully. "
"President Hei Yan, I think we should just forget about this matter. Wouldn't it be better for both of us to take a step back? Why make things worse? This won't do either of us any good."
"Ling YI Society only has 5,000 members. However, all of our Guilds have more than 100,000 members. Even if Ling YI Society has plenty of experts, do you think every one of them can take on twenty people by themselves? "
After someone stepped forward, the other Guilds followed suit. Although they appeared to be trying to persuade the Shifeng's side, they were, in reality, using another method to attack Ling Yi. If the Shifeng let this matter go today, it would be equivalent to shattering the spirit that Ling Yi had accumulated all this time. In the eyes of outsiders, Hei Yan had simply admitted defeat. At that time, even if the other Guilds stopped stopping players from other cities from joining the Ling YI Society, they would still be disappointed. They might even give up on joining the Ling YI Society in White River City.
At this moment, Turtledove and Jian Ying, who stood on the Shifeng's back, were still in shock.
They had never imagined that the stranger who was willing to help them would actually be the Ling YI Society's Guild Leader.
After all, there were simply too many players in White River City, not to mention the elusive Guild Leader Ling Yi. Yet, they had actually met him.
However, when they heard the words of the various Guilds, they could not help but feel resentful.
"These people are really bastards." Turtledove originally did not have a good impression of these Guilds. Now, her impression of them was even worse.
Jian Ying nodded in agreement. This was why he did not want to join these Guilds. They only knew how to scheme against each other. Today's enemy could be tomorrow's friend. Just looking at it was disgusting.
Although Turtledove and Jian Ying were outsiders, they could tell what these Guilds were trying to achieve.
These Guilds were clearly in the wrong. Intercepting players who wished to join the Ling YI Society was already a slap to the Ling YI Society's face. Now, these Guilds were even shamelessly telling the Shifeng not to go too far. Otherwise, it would not benefit either side.
However, Jian Ying had to admit that the Ling YI Society was not powerful enough to ignore the alliance of these Guilds.
"Just what will he do?" Jian Ying could not help but pay more attention to the Shifeng's every move.
Would they just let this matter go, allowing the Ling YI Society to survive and become a laughingstock? Or would they be hot-headed and fall for Dark Star's trap, becoming enemies with so many other Guilds?
However, this would disappoint Jian Ying.
The Shifeng did not say anything. Instead, he walked up to Drunken Deranged and smiled faintly.
"President Hei Yan is still the most reasonable." Drunken Deranged breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Shifeng's smile. At least he did not have to die.
However, in the next second, Drunken Deranged only saw a gray flash before his vision suddenly turned gray. His legs went weak, and he fell to the ground.
"You … Why?" Drunken Deranged could not understand.
Everyone else was also confused. Why did the Shifeng still dare to make a move?
Did he not understand the severe consequences of making a move?
"It seems that you still don't understand our Ling YI Society." Shifeng chuckled. "Although our Ling Yi Society is not some amazing Guild, we are not a Guild that will remain silent and allow others to bully us.
"If you dare to do this, then what is there to be surprised about if I do the same? Don't tell me you are naive enough to think that I will let you off?"
Although Shifeng's voice was soft, everyone present heard him clearly. Every word Shifeng said was like a sledgehammer slamming into their hearts.
"So handsome!" Turtledove could not help but fall into a daze as she looked at Shifeng.
This was the Guild in her heart. She would follow her heart. Even if she was surrounded by powerful enemies, she would not waver in the slightest.
"Mhm. Our trip here was not in vain. Now that I have seen him, I am even more certain that I must join Ling Yi and experience the Ling YI Society." Jian Ying also grew excited.
Although Jian Ying and Turtledove were excited, the various Guilds blocking the entrance were not in such a good mood.
"Lunatic! He is simply a lunatic!"
"He actually dares to kill someone in front of us."
"I heard that his entire body is filled with treasures. He is even a Red Name now. If we can kill him, we will be rich. Even if he is extremely strong, he will still die against so many of us. At that time, we will gain both fame and fortune."
Although the various Guilds blocking the entrance were stunned by the Shifeng's words and actions, since they had already shed all pretense of cordiality, they naturally would not let the Shifeng go. After all, the fame and fortune that would come from killing Shifeng was extremely bountiful.
"Not good! These people are about to take action!" Turtledove began to worry for Shifeng when she saw the crowd swarming towards him.
While it was true that Shifeng had killed Lone Tyrant in the midst of an army of thousands, that did not mean that he possessed the combat power to annihilate thousands of players. With how crowded this place was, there was no way for him to escape. If he were to face hundreds of players head-on, the outcome would be self-evident.
Hence, Jian Ying and Turtledove immediately rushed to Shifeng's side, preparing to fight alongside the Shifeng.
Just as a fight was about to break out, the sound of an explosion came from outside the Teleportation Hall, the sound reverberating throughout the hall.
Before anyone could figure out what was going on, another series of explosions rang out. Moreover, the explosions grew louder and louder. Everyone in the Teleportation Hall could even feel the ground shaking.
"It sure is fast." Shifeng's lips curled up slightly as he looked at the dust-filled street outside the Teleportation Hall.
Jian Ying and Turtledove, who stood closest to the Shifeng, could not help but grow curious when they saw the Shifeng's calm demeanor. It was as if he knew what was going on.
