Chapter 1 The Street Corner Stall

The sudden shout silenced the entire street, followed by a flurry of panicked movement as people scattered. Even the high-level players queuing to buy Beginner Level Enhancement Potions backed away.

"Why are the Sin Domain people here?"

"Are they planning to develop in Glory Stone Fortress?"

"Damn it, those Sin Domain people again! They already make it impossible for us to level up in resource maps, and now they're chasing us here!"

"Probably not. Glory Stone Fortress isn't a resource hotspot. They seem interested in the Beginner Level Enhancement Potions."

"Those two are in trouble. They were just trying to run a small business and got targeted by the Sin Domain."

...

The crowd on the street watched the hundred-member Sin Domain group surround Qing Fengxiao and Liang Xia, feeling indignant on their behalf. They sympathized with the two siblings.

But even so, they could only whisper their opinions, afraid to speak up. Even though the Sin Domain only had a hundred people, far fewer than the angry and complaining crowd, even level 59 Tier 2 experts in line could only grit their teeth and leave, not daring to voice any objections.

Because they all knew one thing.

Provoking the Sin Domain meant not only being unable to survive in the Zijing Kingdom, but also being hunted down to level zero. After all, the Sin Domain had done this before. Some players even had their entire accounts ruined, leaving them with no choice but to delete their characters and start over...

In the entire Zijing Kingdom, the Sin Domain *was* the law!

The Zijing Kingdom was different from other kingdoms. It only had one first-rate guild, the Sin Domain. There were only a handful of second-rate guilds, unlike other kingdoms that had at least two or three first-rate guilds and more than a dozen second-rate guilds, simply establishing a dominant guild.

The Sin Domain ruled the Zijing Kingdom with an iron fist, completely controlling it.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have had to come to Glory Stone Fortress to level up and grind.

Just as the players on the street were secretly hostile towards the Sin Domain, a burly, fierce-looking young man walked out from the Sin Domain group. He wore dark gray armor and carried a greatsword that radiated death energy. Just his presence caused the crowd on the street to gasp.

"No way! Greatsword Duan E!"

"Why is he here?"

The appearance of the Sin Domain youth made the high-level players on the street feel uneasy.

The Sin Domain had seven great experts, each an absolute high-ranking member of the guild. Duan E was one of them, specializing in dealing with players who opposed the Sin Domain. At least two to three thousand expert players had died tragically at his hands. He had even achieved the feat of killing a hundred people single-handedly. These weren't just any random players; they were all guild experts, including one who was on the Wind and Cloud Expert List.

Because Duan E's strength was immense, making it impossible to resist, the expert on the Wind and Cloud Expert List was also exhausted to death.

Thus, he earned the title Greatsword in the Zijing Kingdom.

As everyone watched Duan E, he walked up to Qing Fengxiao's stall.

"Pack up your things. From today onwards, you two will have the honor of joining our Sin Domain." Duan E looked at Qing Fengxiao and Liang Xia and said calmly, "Moreover, the guild leader said that once you enter our Sin Domain, you will directly become core members, without having to slowly accumulate guild contribution points. If you perform well, becoming a guild elder in the future is not impossible. If there are no problems, come with me."

Although Duan E was inviting Qing Fengxiao and Liang Xia to join the Sin Domain, the oppressive aura he exuded was extremely forceful. If Qing Fengxiao dared to refuse, he would die on the spot. The atmosphere and pressure made the surrounding players shiver.

However, this kind of forced invitation made many expert players envious.

Although the Sin Domain was extremely powerful in the Zijing Kingdom, its strength was genuine. Being able to enter the guild and directly become a core member was a good thing. At least in the future, they would be able to walk sideways in the Zijing Kingdom, forcing the high-level members of those second-rate guilds to treat them with caution. Not to mention the elders of the Sin Domain guild, even the leaders of second-rate guilds would have to treat them kindly.

Just as everyone thought that Qing Fengxiao and the others would follow Duan E, Qing Fengxiao spoke.

"Thank you for the Sin Domain's invitation, but my sister and I are used to freedom and like this kind of life." Qing Fengxiao shook his head.

Liang Xia nodded in agreement.

As Qing Fengxiao finished speaking, the crowd on the street felt the atmosphere plummet to freezing point. A murderous intent permeated the entire area, making many Tier 2 experts feel a chill down their spines.

"So you're rejecting our Sin Domain's invitation?" Duan E's gaze at Qing Fengxiao turned cold, and he said with a hint of a smile, "Do you know what the consequences are for rejecting our Sin Domain's kind invitation?"

As he said this, the Sin Domain members around Duan E stepped forward, their eyes filled with murderous intent towards Qing Fengxiao and his sister, ready to attack at any moment.

"Is that Qing Fengxiao stupid? How dare he reject the Sin Domain?"

"This time, Greatsword Duan E personally came. Does he think he can escape?"

The crowd on the street looked at Qing Fengxiao and Liang Xia in disbelief. They never expected that someone in the Zijing Kingdom would dare to reject the Sin Domain's invitation. Even the top adventure teams in the Zijing Kingdom would be destroyed by the Sin Domain on a whim, and all the high-level members of the team would be forced to delete their accounts and start over, not to mention two free players.

These top adventure teams had hundreds of experts, and their other members numbered over a thousand. The top-ranked experts among them could compete with the top experts in first-rate guilds, but in the end, they still disappeared.

At this time, Qing Fengxiao also felt a wave of pressure.

He had no doubt that if he refused, Duan E and the others would really attack.

Although there were NPC guards in the town, he wasn't confident that he could escape unscathed if Duan E and the others attacked directly. After all, it would take some time for the NPC guards to arrive. If Duan E and the others went crazy, they would really die here.

Just as Qing Fengxiao was thinking about what to do, a low voice rang out in the ears of both Qing Fengxiao and Duan E.

"Excuse me, do you still have any Beginner Level Enhancement Potions?"

As this voice appeared, it echoed throughout the street, and the originally heavy atmosphere lightened a little. Everyone's eyes turned to the source of the voice.

They all wanted to see what kind of idiot couldn't read the atmosphere and dared to interfere with the Sin Domain's affairs at this time.

A young swordsman player wearing a black cloak walked step by step to Qing Fengxiao's stall, as if the Sin Domain and the others didn't exist.
