Chapter 1589 Dark Hills

Fire Dragon Empire, Fire Dragon City.

In the Teleportation Hall, over twenty dazzling lights suddenly flashed from a teleportation magic array. Players in standardized equipment emerged from the array, immediately attracting the attention of many players present, who showed expressions of awe and envy.

This was because the lowest level of these players emerging from the teleportation magic array was Level 99. Their equipment was all standardized Level 95 Dark-Gold sets. Perhaps standardized equipment couldn’t compare to top-tier equipment of the same level, but the base attributes of the standardized Dark-Gold sets were in no way inferior to those of players wearing a full set of Dark-Gold equipment.

In this era, where most expert players hadn’t even reached Level 96, they would be overjoyed to have a full set of Level 95 Mithril equipment. Even the core experts of the major guilds would be very happy to get a few pieces of Level 95 Fine-Gold equipment. A full set of Level 95 Dark-Gold equipment was something they wouldn't even dare to imagine.

Among them, a young man at the lead had even reached Level 100. Not only did he have five Epic-ranked equipment pieces, but the blood-colored giant axe on his back was of an indiscernible quality. However, its eerie aura made people shudder. The rest of his equipment was at least Level 95 Dark-Gold. He stood out exceptionally in the crowd.

Just as everyone was quietly discussing who these people were, two players with rich auras of life, both at Level 99, walked over.

These two were none other than Yi Han and Nan Cheng Jiu Meng, whom Shi Feng had met before.

"Fen Xiao, you actually came all this way. If your old man finds out, he'll definitely scold you," Nan Cheng Jiu Meng said, looking at the Level 100 Berserker at the lead with a headache.

The young man before him was a childhood friend and also the Vice President of the Azure Chamber of Commerce. He had achieved such success at a young age not only because of the family’s strong support but also because of his own high ability and talent.

"Of course. Today is the big day to determine the outcome. How could I miss it?" Fen Xiao smiled at Nan Cheng Jiu Meng and Yi Han. "By the way, how is my Second Sister doing?"

"We tried. Wu Yin still intends to stay in Zero Wing, and in the end, we had no choice but to have Ling Yue join the Shadowblades," Yi Han said, spreading his hands helplessly. "However, the Zero Wing Guild Leader also promised to do everything he can to help Wu Yin."

"Zero Wing? Fully help Second Sister?" Fen Xiao frowned slightly. "This Zero Wing knows how to take advantage. Seeing that Second Sister is the heir to the two major families of our Azure Chamber of Commerce, they probably intend to use Second Sister's identity to seek benefits for themselves in the future. Second Sister is just too naive."

Their Azure Chamber of Commerce spanned two continents in God's Domain. Even the major superpowers wanted to cooperate with them. However, his Second Sister, Miao Wu Yin, had always been free and didn’t care about family affairs. But he was different. He had been managing many of the Chamber of Commerce's affairs and knew too well of these forces that wanted to build relationships and cooperate with their Azure Chamber of Commerce.

"Zero Wing does have a knack for training in the lifestyle occupations. They should be able to achieve good results in this Alchemy competition," Nan Cheng Jiu Meng said.

"Hopefully. But if that Zero Wing Guild Leader dares to have designs on my Second Sister, I'll let him know how formidable our Thorn Assassins team is," Fen Xiao nodded, a hint of iciness in his eyes.

Yi Han and Nan Cheng Jiu Meng didn't say anything when they heard Fen Xiao say that.

This was because the Thorn Assassins team under Fen Xiao's control did indeed have the ability. The Thorn Assassins team might not have many members, only less than fifty, but the members of the team were all top experts of the Azure Chamber of Commerce. The worst of them had the strength to rival apex experts. If they were to act separately to deal with a guild, even if Shi Feng was a Tier 3 class, he would probably have a headache.

...

Meanwhile, not far from the border of the Fire Dragon Empire, in a large forest completely shrouded in black mist, Shi Feng and the others rode their mounts to the entrance of the forest.

This forest was completely covered by a huge magic array. Faint spatial rifts could be seen in the sky, as if the entire forest was in the seams of space and time. To enter or leave this forest, one could only go through a huge gate made entirely of steel.

This forest was the Dark Hills, a border space well-known in the surrounding empires and kingdoms, and also a famous trading market in the surrounding empires and kingdoms.

Although it was a trading market, this trading market wasn’t open to individual players, but only to the major forces of the surrounding empires and kingdoms. Ordinary players weren’t allowed to enter at all. The surrounding empires and kingdoms would come here to trade any precious materials they obtained.

The reason for this was that the trading market used barter trade. In addition, large-scale auctions were held from time to time, and they were auctions of extremely rare and precious items. The most important thing was that it was controlled by the Azure Chamber of Commerce. The Azure Chamber of Commerce would sell special items and rare materials unique to the West Continent here from time to time. These things were extremely attractive to the major forces.

Gradually, the Dark Hills became a well-known trading market.

At this time, in front of the gate, a large number of players were already lining up to enter the city walls. Many people drove vehicles loaded with non-storable items, intending to enter and trade.

No one dared to make trouble here, because the Azure Chamber of Commerce had set up various war weapons and magic arrays at the gate to ensure its control over the Dark Hills. A large number of experts were stationed here for a long time, and several of them were apex experts.

Not to mention a group of expert players, even if an army of tens of thousands charged over, it would be difficult for them to do anything to the Azure Chamber of Commerce.

Shi Feng and the others quietly waited in line behind, waiting to enter.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Shi Feng and the others finally arrived in front of the steel gate sealed by the magic array.

"Second Miss, Guild Leader Black Flame, please wait here for a moment. I'll go and complete the procedures to enter," Tian Shou Yun Kai said as he walked towards a team of Azure Chamber of Commerce members guarding the gate.

"You and Second Miss can go over. He can't go in for the time being," the burly man guarding the gate said, glancing at the Chamber of Commerce proof that Tian Shou Yun Kai had taken out, pointing at Shi Feng.

"Why? Guild Leader is with us," Miao Wu Yin asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Today is a very important day. To prevent anyone from making trouble, outsiders aren't allowed to enter casually. However, since he's someone brought by Second Miss, I naturally have to give some face. But he has to wait to be inspected over there before he can enter," the burly man smiled, glancing at Miao Wu Yin.

"Then why didn't they get inspected before they went in?" Miao Wu Yin pointed to a group of people who had gone in earlier. These people weren't members of the Azure Chamber of Commerce.

"They're all members of the major superpowers of the Fire Dragon Empire. They're honored guests of our Azure Chamber of Commerce, so naturally, they're different," the burly man said dismissively to Miao Wu Yin's question.

"Man Hao, don't go too far. The Zero Wing Guild Leader is also an honored guest invited by our Second Miss!" Tian Shou Yun Kai suddenly said coldly, looking at the burly man.

Although Man Hao was a top expert of the Azure Chamber of Commerce, he wasn’t from Miao Wu Yin's family. Anyone could see that he was deliberately making things difficult for Shi Feng to humiliate Miao Wu Yin.

"That's why! Didn't I say that as long as this Guild Leader is willing to accept the inspection, he can go in?" Man Hao said with a smile as he looked at Tian Shou Yun Kai. "What? Do you want to fight me here?"

Just as Man Hao finished speaking, more than twenty heavy crossbows on the city wall behind Man Hao aimed over, and two companions stood out behind Man Hao. These two, like Man Hao, were top experts of the Azure Chamber of Commerce, and all three of them were wearing battle array sets. The strength they displayed after activating the battle array was no less than Tian Shou Yun Kai.

This was also Man Hao's confidence in daring to challenge Tian Shou Yun Kai.

Hearing what Man Hao said, even Miao Wu Yin was a little angry and wanted to teach this Man Hao a lesson. Shi Feng was the Guild Leader of their guild. If he had to accept the inspection here before entering, it would be a great humiliation to Zero Wing.

"Second Miss, don't be impulsive. If you make a move, you'll fall for his trick," Tian Shou Yun Kai quickly stopped her when he noticed Miao Wu Yin's intention. "He has complete control here. If we make a move here, according to the Chamber of Commerce's rules, even if you're the Chamber of Commerce's Vice President, he can directly suppress you."

The Dark Hills weren't an ordinary place, but an important source of income for the Chamber of Commerce, so it was highly valued by the Chamber of Commerce. As the administrator guarding this place, Man Hao didn’t have to answer to anyone in the entire Chamber of Commerce except the Guild Leader and Elders. If anyone dared to make a move, he could directly kill them. Even Miao Wu Yin's grandfather couldn't say anything.

"You're wise. This is an important place for the Azure Chamber of Commerce. Did you really think the Azure Chamber of Commerce is your family's property?" Man Hao glanced at Miao Wu Yin with disdain.

But just as Man Hao finished speaking, a flash of sword light suddenly flashed past. Its speed was so fast that no one present could react. The sword light slashed across Man Hao's neck.

After the sword light disappeared, Man Hao's life bar was instantly reduced to zero, and he fell to the ground…

With Man Hao's death, everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to the place where the sword light had slashed over. The person who had attacked was none other than Shi Feng, who had come with Miao Wu Yin.
