Chapter 1547 Shi Fengs Invitation

Theyre leaving?

Dark Eye was dazed as he watched Underworlds members flee from the battlefield.

With just a few words, Shi Feng had sent over a hundred of Underworlds experts packing with their tails between their legs. They hadnt even bothered to retrieve the equipment First Ghost had dropped.

Dark Eye felt as if he were dreaming.

Thank you, Youlan said as she walked up to Shi Feng. Unlike Dark Eye, her enemies response hadnt particularly surprised her.

This is White River City. Naturally, I had to put a stop to this incident since I discovered it. Otherwise, no player would be willing to visit the city, Shi Feng said, surprised by Youlans gratitude.

Although they had only met each other a few times, he could tell that Youlan was a relatively strong-willed woman. Despite the fact that Underworld hunted her, she refused to submit and delete her account.

Guild Leader Black Flame must be joking. Not every Guild in Gods Domain has the courage to stand against Underworld and the Blackwater Corporation, Youlan said, shaking her head.

She was honestly very thankful for Shi Fengs intervention.

Had Shi Feng ignored the situation, she and her team wouldve been dead by now. They wouldve also lost a significant portion of their equipment. They wouldve had an even more difficult time dealing with Underworlds pursuit.

May I know what you and your group intends to do now, Miss Youlan? Shi Feng asked.

He had witnessed Youlans abilities personally in the past. Not only did she wield great combat power, but her management capabilities were also top-notch. That had been obvious when she had managed Overwhelming Smiles trading firm, Overwhelming Trading Firm, growing it until the firm nearly rivaled the Candlelight Trading Firm.

By the time he had rejoined Gods Domain, he had accumulated ten years of experience in the game. If not for his Candlelight Trading Firm, Youlans firm might have dominated Star-Moon Kingdom.

If he could convince Youlan to join the Candlelight Trading Firm, it would undoubtedly strengthen the trading firm. After all, Melancholic Smile was more suited to forging and not a particularly skilled manager. Moreover, to manage the Candlelight Trading Firm, Melancholic Smile had been forced to sacrifice her precious practice time.

Us? Hearing Shi Fengs words, Youlan could not help but turn to glance at Dark Eye and the others. I had planned to complete a Hidden Quest I received and develop in a kingdom that lacks Underworlds influence, but I didnt expect the organization to discover us so quickly. Theyve even sent First Ghost after us. Since they clearly know where we are, we cant stay in White River City.

How about joining Zero Wing? Shi Feng asked, considering this an excellent opportunity. No matter how far you run, with Underworld and Blackwaters information network, theyll have no trouble tracking you down. It is impossible to hide forever under Black Cloaks. Gods Domain has too many high-rank Identification Skills that can see through the Black Cloaks concealment effects.

Join Zero Wing?

Youlan was stunned. She could not help but stare at Shi Feng, confused about the mans intentions.

The Blackwater Corporation had already labeled her and her team as threats that needed to be removed. Any Guild that discovered this would do its best to distance itself from them. Accepting them into its ranks would be the equivalent of declaring war on the Blackwater Corporation.

First Ghosts death at Shi Fengs hands could be understood as his way of protecting his Guilds reputation. Blackwater might let the matter slide, but it would be a different story entirely if Shi Feng offered them shelter. However, it would be an entirely different story if Shi Feng were to shelter them.

This would be no different than slapping the Blackwater Corporation in the face!

The corporation would undoubtedly mobilize its forces against Zero Wing.

At this point, the Blackwater Corporation was much stronger than when Abandoned Wave had annexed Ouroboros. Not only had its experts caught up with mainstream players levels, but the corporation had also secretly purchased several Guilds and Workshops. It had even partnered with a few superpowers. Now, even Super Guilds avoided any confrontation with the Blackwater Corporation.

Shi Fengs proposal both surprised and excited Dark Eye and Youlans other team members.

To them, joining Zero Wing would be the best way to escape pursuit. Moreover, Zero Wing was famous for its collection of experts. The Guild also had astounding growth potential. Zero Wing might even become a super-first-rate Guild in the future.

Thats right. If you join Zero Wing, I can at least guarantee your safety. Your previous efforts wont have to go to waste, Shi Feng said, nodding earnestly.

You know the consequences for sheltering us, right? Youlan had to ask. Were talking about Blackwaters vengeance. This is also a crucial time for Zero Wing. If things go awry, Zero Wing might lose its chance of becoming a super-first-rate Guild.

Relax. There are plenty of superpowers that want to destroy Zero Wing, but isnt the Guilds still alive and kicking? Shi Feng said, chuckling. Moreover, if you join Zero Wing, the Guild will develop far more quickly.

Currently, Zero Wing developed on three fronts: Star-Moon Kingdom, the Black Dragon Empire, and Apocalypse Empire. Hence, it was in urgent need of manpower. Now that it had Zero Wing City to deal with, Shi Feng couldnt manage everything on his own.

Hence, Youlans addition to Zero Wing would undoubtedly help both the Guild and the trading firms management.

As for Dark Eye, Youlans ally, the youth had great potential. Based on his fight with First Ghost, Shi Feng knew that the Berserker was considerably talented. He only lacked combat experience. If trained properly, he could become one of Zero Wings core combatants.

I understand, Youlan said, smiling bitterly when she noticed her team members anticipatory looks. In that case, well have to trouble you from now on, Guild Leader Black Flame.

She had never thought that she would, one day, join Zero Wing, the Guild which had been her enemy.

However, she had to admit that she was relieved to join the Guild.

She only prayed that the Blackwater Corporations fear of Zero Wings potential would prevent it from declaring an all-out war on Zero Wing over her.

Nonsense. Since you have now joined Zero Wing, the Guild wouldnt let others bully you, Shi Feng chuckled at Youlans formality. Wait for me here for a moment. Once Ive finished with my matters here, Ill bring you back to Zero Wings Residence to register. Of course, if you still have any matters to deal with, you can take care of them first. Once youre done, you can meet me at Zero Wings Residence.

We dont have anything in particular to deal with right now. Were just waiting to turn in our quest. Unfortunately, Lady Seliora is still busy, so we have to wait until she finishes her task before we can hand it in, Youlan said, sighing helplessly as she turned to the smithy behind her.

She was utterly helpless against Seliora.

A Grandmaster Forger would be highly respected no matter where they went. Even Star-Moon Kingdoms King had to treat the woman respectfully.

Meanwhile, players could not afford to endure Selioras wrath, so she had no choice but to wait until the woman stopped working before she could meet with the Grandmaster Forger.

So, youre here to turn in a quest? Realization dawned on Shi Feng. It was no wonder why Youlan and the others had been standing outside Selioras house like a bunch of idiots. He then said, Follow me, then.

Saying so, Shi Feng approached the smithy, which emitted constant hammering sounds.

Youlan and her companions didnt understand what Shi Feng intended to do.

When Shi Feng knocked on the wooden door, they paled. They all knew about Selioras temper. When they had interrupted the NPC earlier, she had used magic to reduce their Attributes drastically for an entire day. Moreover, the debuffs duration only decreased if they were logged in.

Under Shi Fengs incessant knocking, the hammering sounds eventually stopped. Shortly after, Seliora slammed open the door, an enraged expression on her tanned face.

Were doomed!

Youlans team began to regret their alliance with Shi Feng.

Just as Youlan thought that Seliora would dole out their punishment, something unbelievable occurred.

However, the moment Selioras gaze found Shi Feng, her wrathful expression softened. A joyful grin took its place.

Why are you here?
