After the unfamiliar man finished speaking, he shifted his gaze to Bloodsucker.
"Bloodsucker, come with me. Everyone else, return to the Guild."
The unfamiliar man's commanding tone made Kirin and the others nod hurriedly, deep respect filling their eyes.
Shifeng was astonished.
He had gained a considerable understanding of Kirin's strength during the entrance trial. He had definitely reached the Flowing Water Realm. Throughout the entire Ling YI Society, only he was slightly stronger than Kirin. Fire Dance and Violet Cloud were slightly weaker than him. However, in a real duel, Fire Dance could easily emerge victorious. After all, the gap between their equipment was massive.
With Kirin's combat standards, he could be considered a peak expert in any Guild.
However, the unfamiliar man's tone made it clear that experts at Kirin's level did not qualify to go to the Guild's destination. Of the entire team, only Bloodsucker was qualified to go.
"Brother Bloodsucker, where are we going?" Shifeng secretly sent Bloodsucker a message. He was very curious about their destination.
"I don't know, either. This is my third time seeing the Guild Leader's Dark Guard," Bloodsucker said, smiling bitterly as he shook his head. "It is all thanks to Brother Ye Feng that we are able to meet the Dark Guard today."
Although he was one of Raven's upper echelons, he did not qualify to meet the Guild's core members.
In addition, Raven's internal operations had always been secretive. It was also a Dark Guild. Unlike ordinary adventurer Guilds, which focused on killing monsters and developing cities, Dark Guilds focused on killing players and plundering cities. They were very secretive about their operations. After all, they were NPCs' targets.
Even an upper echelon like him knew very little about Raven. He only managed the bounty quests in his area.
As for the Guild's core secrets, he knew nothing about them.
This was his third time seeing the Guild's rumored Dark Guard.
Dark Guards were Guild Leader Bloodfang's trusted subordinates. Moreover, every one of them possessed extremely high combat standards. Even Shifeng admired them. The Guild Leader rarely showed himself. Even when it came to important matters, he would leave it to his Dark Guards.
"A Dark Guard?" Shifeng could not help but be shocked when he saw the cloaked man.
He had heard of Raven's Shadow Guards before.
The main reason why Raven was able to become one of the Six Great Dark Guilds of God's Domain was because of its Dark Guards. The combat standards of these Dark Guards were inhumanly high. There were so many of them that no one in the outside world knew of their identities because they always wore Black Cloaks.
Back then, many people had suspected that Raven was a Super Guild that had secretly established the Guild.
However, reality proved that Raven wasn't related to any of the known Super Guilds. Rather, Raven's Shadow Guards had taken care of every Super Guild in God's Domain. Raven had plundered a lot of wealth from these Super Guilds, but none of the Super Guilds could do anything to Raven. After all, Raven had just as many peak experts as any Super Guild.
This was why Raven was known as one of the Six Great Dark Guilds.
Shifeng could clearly feel that the Shadow Guard in front of him was very strong. He was even stronger than Bloodsucker.
Of course, this "strong" did not refer to the Shadow Guard's combat techniques. Rather, it was the feeling the Shadow Guard gave off. He felt like a robot, incomparably cold and emotionless.
Bloodsucker was a Black Player. The number of players who had died at his hands could form a mountain. Yet, even he could not compare to the Shadow Guard. The Shadow Guard was emotionless. He was like a soulless robot.
After Kirin and the others left, this emotionless Shadow Guard led Shifeng and Bloodsucker through the Teleportation Hall. After teleporting several times, they had long since left the Starmoon Kingdom and arrived at a remote town in the Dawn Empire. Following which, the three of them rode on their Mounts for several hours before they finally arrived at an uninhabited town.
This town was different from an NPC town. There were plenty of NPCs guarding the town.
"A captured town?" Shifeng could not help but admire Raven when he saw the town's situation.
Currently, the various large Guilds were all thinking of capturing towns.
However, capturing a town was easier said than done.
Back then, Raven had only been able to capture Stone Forest Town due to the town's uniqueness. He had been able to use the town's army of hundreds of thousands of players as bait. Otherwise, even with an army of hundreds of thousands, he would not have been able to capture Stone Forest Town.
Although players had reached higher levels, and their Basic Attributes had improved significantly, raiding a town was still very difficult. Even Super Guilds would have to plan for a long time if they wanted to raid a town. They had to ensure that nothing went wrong. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. Needless to say, other Guilds would suffer even greater losses.
As he ran, he noticed that the surrounding monsters were all Level 40 or above. The NPCs guarding the town were at least Level 60.
Capturing such a town would be extremely difficult. Relying on the strength of players was no longer possible. They would need to rely on powerful external items such as Tier 3 Summoning Scrolls, a large number of Personal Guards, or siege weapons. Otherwise, they would not stand a chance.
As for Raven's member, Bloodsucker's jaw dropped. He could not believe his eyes.
He was clearly one of the Guild's upper echelons, yet he had never known that the Guild had its own town …
"Is this the strength that Raven's Guild Leader Bloodfang wanted to show me?" Shifeng recalled the Dark Guard's words.
Among the many forces in the Divine Realm, the number of forces that could capture such a small town could be counted on one hand.
However, after Shifeng entered the town, he immediately discovered something.
The town's buildings were extremely sparse. Aside from the Guild Residence, there were only a hotel and a smithy. There were no other buildings …
Although the town was sparse, the several hundred players inside were no pushovers.
Not only were these players Level 30 +, but they also gave off the feeling of ferocious wild beasts. Their cold, emotionless eyes were no different from the Dark Guard's. They were even more intelligent than NPCs. If not for the green, diamond-shaped player symbols above their heads, Shifeng would've suspected that these players were the town's NPC residents.
When Shifeng arrived at the town's only hotel, three cloaked men emerged from the dilapidated building. These three players' auras were practically identical to the Dark Guard's. Just like the Dark Guard's aura, they also gave Shifeng a dangerous feeling.
"The Guild Leader has said that Ye Feng may enter. Bloodsucker, wait outside."
After hearing the Dark Guard's command, Bloodsucker had no choice but to wait outside. As for Shifeng, he strode into the hotel, curious as to what kind of person Raven's Guild Leader was.
