Chapter 1幽冥矿山

Storm Empire, Nether Mine.

The Storm Empire was situated in a highland region, its entire territory riddled with mountains, renowned throughout the Domain of the Gods for its mineral production. The Nether Mine, located at the border of the Storm Empire, was perpetually shrouded in Nether Qi. Players' stamina consumption was several times higher than in the outside world. Coupled with the extraordinary combat power of the monsters within the mountain range, all above level 70, few players came here to level up.

However, at this moment, in front of a stream in the mountain range, as many as several thousand players had gathered. Each of them was at least level 62, definitely among the elite in the current Domain of the Gods.

These thousands of experts were divided into two factions. One side had less than three or four hundred people, while the other side consisted of thousands of people encircling the three or four hundred.

If the players of the Storm Empire were here, they would definitely be shocked because the three or four hundred people surrounded were all core members of the first-rate guild Twilight Echo, each one a pillar of the guild. Among them, twenty or thirty were well-known experts in the Storm Empire, unattainable figures in the eyes of ordinary players. Getting close to one of them would make countless players envious. The strongest among these people was Cangming, ranked among the top ten experts in the Storm Empire.

The Storm Empire had many mixed forces, and the number of players was terrifying, with experts as numerous as the clouds. Being ranked in the top ten of professions in the Storm Empire was equivalent to being in the top twenty or thirty of the total combat power list in a kingdom.

Such a group of people gathered together would not be afraid even in the face of a ten thousand-strong elite army. But now, facing a legion of less than three thousand, not only did their faces look solemn, but there was even a hint of fear in their eyes.

"Senluo Hall, a dignified super force, really gives us Twilight Echo face, actually sending Deputy Guild Leader Xiao to make a trip in person." Cangming, the current guild leader of Twilight Echo, stared intently at a burly man in front of him, as sturdy as a bear, carrying two epic-level great axes on his back, his eyes full of dread.

Xiao Ming was originally just an ordinary expert, but after entering the Domain of the Gods, he constantly challenged the experts inside, and his strength grew crazily. From an unknown expert, he slowly became a famous expert in the Storm Empire. Later, he was spotted by Senluo Hall, and after joining Senluo Hall, his growth was even more unstoppable, quickly becoming a capable officer of Senluo Hall, fighting everywhere, and repeatedly defeating the top experts of the super-first-class guild Nine Stars Family. Finally, he reached the position of deputy guild leader, which can be said to be absolutely based on strength.

Especially Xiao Ming's famous battle, he killed five top experts of the Nine Stars Family in a row, and broke a town with a five-thousand-man regiment, shocking the entire Storm Empire.

Although Cangming was among the top ten experts in the Storm Empire, Xiao Ming was among the top ten in the total combat power list. Seemingly, there was not much difference between the top ten in professions and the top ten in the total list, but the difference in combat power was like fireflies compared to the bright moon.

If Xiao Ming wanted to, he could kill all the Twilight Echo experts present with his own power.

"Guild Leader Cangming, since I'm here, you should know the attitude of our Senluo Hall. Your Twilight Echo better not make a mistake," Xiao Ming said to Cangming with a smile, but his words were not like a warning at all, but more like an order.

"Our Twilight Echo has already given up all resource treasures and even come to this remote place, preparing to give up development in the Storm Empire. What else do you want?" Cangming gripped the war blade in his hand, his face slightly gloomy.

"So the guild leader asked me to come and knock you guys into shape," Xiao Ming said with a faint smile, "Either submit to us, or disappear completely from the Domain of the Gods. Don't think that hiding in this uninhabited place will allow you to develop in peace. You have no third option."

Xiao Ming's words were like the final verdict, making the expression on Cangming's face even heavier.

No one would have thought that the opening of the auction venue would intensify the competition among the major forces in the Domain of the Gods to such an extent. Senluo Hall, in order to fully strengthen its control over the Storm Empire, did not hesitate to start a full-scale war, evolving into a situation where it was either you die or I die.

"Guild leader, why don't we fight them!"

"That's right, we'll fight to the death!"

Faced with Senluo Hall's extermination tactics, the experts of Twilight Echo all showed a fighting spirit of desperation.

"Fight to the death? Do you think you are worthy?" Xiao Ming couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words of Twilight Echo.

Faced with Xiao Ming's words, the members of Twilight Echo were all indignant, only Cangming on the scene was silent, even unable to say a word of rebuttal. It was not that he did not have the courage, but that what Xiao Ming said was the truth.

Because in the entire guild, no one knew the horror of the top ten in the total combat power list better than him. Each of them was called a humanoid monster, which was why the major guilds wanted to cultivate top experts at all costs.

"There's no way, once the battle starts, I will try to hold Xiao Ming back, and everyone will escape separately, save as many as you can!" Cangming then turned his head to look at Shui Se Qiangwei (Water Rose) beside him and said, "Shui Se, you have also seen that this matter can no longer be solved by you coming back to help. You should also try to escape later, there is no need to sacrifice your own future for Twilight Echo."

He, this fourth uncle, was very grateful and gratified that Shui Se Qiangwei could come back to help, but doing so had no meaning at all. Looking at the attitude of Senluo Hall, even if other super forces intervened, Senluo Hall would not let them go, and no super force dared to provoke Senluo Hall, which was at its peak. You must know that the super-first-class guild Nine Stars Family had completely lost to Senluo Hall.

Cangming knew that the Zero Wing Guild to which Shui Se Qiangwei belonged had been developing very well recently and was already better than their Twilight Echo. It would not be worth it to lose the opportunity to develop in Zero Wing for the sake of Twilight Echo.

Shui Se Qiangwei couldn't help but lower her head, her silver teeth clenched. She didn't expect Senluo Hall to be so crazy. If she hadn't put a lot of weapons and equipment back into the guild warehouse when she left, she might still be able to fight Xiao Ming and let more people escape.

"Want to run? Do you think you can escape?" Xiao Ming looked at the Twilight Echo people who were ready for battle and said disdainfully.

Just when the two sides were about to fight, a group of players suddenly ran over from the canyon, with a number of more than a thousand people. Leading them was a graceful and pure girl wearing a gorgeous magic robe, like a fairy descending, making many players present unable to help but look at her.

The thousand people who arrived were all at least level 63, most of them were level 64. In the current situation, they were all absolute expert levels in the guild. Moreover, the worst equipment worn by these players was level 60 Mithril grade, and some players had level 60 Fine Gold and Dark Gold equipment, making the Senluo Hall and Twilight Echo people very envious.

However, the most concerning thing was that these players all exuded a shrewd aura, definitely not ordinary experts.

"Who are you? Don't you know we are Senluo Hall handling affairs? If you don't want to cause trouble, leave quickly!" Xiao Ming warned, looking at the thousand-man regiment that was walking over.

If it were normal, he would have had people kill them all long ago, but this thousand-man regiment that suddenly appeared was obviously extraordinary, and it would not be easy to deal with them if they fought.

"Are you talking about us? We are the Zero Wing Guild." Zi Yan Liuyun (Purple Smoke Flowing Cloud) smiled faintly.

"Zero Wing? Isn't that a guild far away in the Star-Moon Kingdom?" Xiao Ming searched in his mind and vaguely remembered such a guild, and it was developing well. Then he asked, "Why don't you develop well in the Star-Moon Kingdom, what are you doing here?"

"We are ordered by the guild leader to inform Senluo Hall that Zero Wing is protecting Twilight Echo!" Zi Yan Liuyun said calmly.
