Chapter 1 The Battle's Aftermath

As the high-ranking evil beasts and high-ranking demons died in droves, the battle in Shilin Town gradually entered its final stages.

The major powers of the Star-Moon Kingdom, who had previously gloated over the battle, now wore solemn expressions, filled with deep apprehension towards the Zero Wing Guild.

An army of over 500,000 monsters, led by five Mythic monsters and a large number of high-ranking monsters...

Who in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom could withstand that?

Yet, the Zero Wing Guild had not only withstood it but also displayed a terrifying strength. Not to mention the large number of Tier 3 NPCs defending the town, the Intermediate Magic Pulse Cannons and Small Ballista Carts alone were enough to drive the major powers of the Star-Moon Kingdom to despair. If they were used as siege weapons to capture towns, the consequences were unimaginable.

Before this battle, the major powers merely thought that the Zero Wing Guild posed a considerable threat in terms of the number of experts and the quality of player equipment, but it didn't threaten their foundations. It was just a matter of mutual attrition, seeing who could outlast whom, who had more money and resources. But now, things were different.

The Zero Wing Guild already possessed the power to destroy the foundations of the major guilds in the Star-Moon Kingdom, eliminating the need for drawn-out guild wars. They could simply wipe out the foundations of their rival guilds.

"Zero Wing Guild, you've hidden yourselves so well. You've become capable of contending against an army of over 500,000 monsters without making a sound?" Yi Xiao Du Zang watched the battle scenes on the screen, especially the appearance of the hero, Gilbert, which seemed to age him several years in an instant.

He believed that the development speed of the Heavenly Burial Guild was already fast enough, but compared to the Zero Wing Guild…

It was like heaven and earth.

The only thing to be thankful for now was that their Heavenly Burial Guild had entered the Eternal Night City ahead of others. In addition, Qi Yitao could continuously create monster armies, but now that they had been completely discovered, and the maps that could be developed had been developed, it was completely impossible to create such a large monster army around Star-Moon City. They could only go to other places and slowly develop.

On the streets outside the Zero Wing Guild Residence in White River City, Gui Yingzi and Wu Xia sat quietly in a fifth-floor restaurant box, watching the Zero Wing Residence across the street, their faces filled with helplessness.

Originally, the plan was for the Ghost Shadow Legion and the Third Legion to launch a fierce attack together, determined to seize the Zero Wing Guild's beast pen. However, because of the battle, the Zero Wing members leveling up and doing dungeons in the wild returned to the guild residence one after another, doubling or tripling the number of members in the guild residence...

They could only watch from the sidelines, waiting for the members of the Zero Wing Residence to rescue Shilin Town. However, from the start of the battle to almost the end, the number of members in the Zero Wing Residence kept increasing, showing no signs of decreasing.

Now, they could only stare blankly.

Moreover, with the victory of Shilin Town in sight, more and more players came to sign up for the Zero Wing Guild. Among them were many adventure teams joining as a whole, and even some well-known adventure teams that Gui Yingzi and Wu Xia were familiar with.

In the wilderness outside Shilin Town, Qi Yitao and Yanxue were riding their mounts directly toward the Dead Soul Forest.

"Brother Yitao, are you saying I'm also qualified to join the Evil God's Temple?" Yanxue looked at Qi Yitao, his eyes flashing with golden light, and asked excitedly.

"Of course. Although it's very difficult for players to join the Evil God's Temple, and the number is very limited, that Beast Emperor (shou huang) told me that as long as you are strong enough and have a large force behind you as a foundation, you have a chance. But it still depends on what that Beast Emperor thinks. After all, he doesn't have many spots left, and he uses one less for each one. However, you are a high-level member of the Heavenly Burial Guild, so the opportunity is still great," Qi Yitao nodded and said. "When you become an Evil God Apostle (xie shen shi tu), the two of us working together will definitely be able to take down the Zero Wing Guild."

"Then I'll thank Brother Yitao for the introduction. As soon as I become an Evil God Apostle, the Guild Leader will definitely help the two of us without reservation. This way, with us acting in the open and in the dark, we can take down not only the entire Star-Moon Kingdom, but maybe even the Black Dragon Empire next door," Yanxue said excitedly.

Before this, he wasn't very interested in the dark forces like the Evil God Apostles. After all, the price of becoming an Evil God Apostle was too high. It could be said that you were against the entire human race, unable to easily enter NPC cities, and unable to enjoy life like normal players. If you were known by the major guilds, you would definitely be hunted down frantically at the first opportunity.

And if you died, the consequences would be very serious. If you were caught, the consequences would be even more serious. Deleting your account and starting over might even be more enjoyable.

However, after contacting Qi Yitao and seeing the power of the Evil God Apostles, becoming an Evil God Apostle might not be a bad thing, and it might even lead to a meteoric rise.

He wanted to join before, but Qi Yitao had politely refused him. He didn't expect that he would agree now.

"Don't worry, I've seen the foundation of your Heavenly Burial Guild. Moreover, I've already sent a message to the Beast Emperor (shou huang), saying that he also wants to meet you first. He has already sent someone over to take you to see the Beast Emperor (shou huang) in person," Qi Yitao said with a smile.

Just as Qi Yitao and the two were talking, a spatial rift suddenly appeared in mid-air. Then, the spatial rift grew larger and larger, forming a black hole, and then a figure came out of it.

"Black Flame!"

"Why is he here?"

Qi Yitao and Yanxue looked up at the figure that suddenly appeared in mid-air, and they could be said to be extremely familiar with him, and he was also the person they had always wanted to deal with.

"I finally found you. Are you leaving so soon?" Shi Feng quietly landed on the grass, looking at Qi Yitao and Yanxue with a smile. At this time, both of them were wearing black cloaks, and their appearances and levels could not be seen at all, but it could be felt that their expressions were unusually tense, especially Qi Yitao, who was wrapped in bandages.

The last time the monsters attacked, he knew that the Evil God's Temple was behind it, but he searched through the Magic Tower and couldn't find the controller. However, this time, he stood on the Magic Tower the whole time to search, and with the magic circle that summoned the demons, he determined a rough location, and that's how he managed to find them.

He was also shocked that the Evil God's Temple had appeared in the Star-Moon Kingdom. Before the Evil God's Temple grew up, it wasn't anything, but if it wasn't eliminated early, then in terms of the threat to the Zero Wing Guild, even two or three super guilds would probably not be able to compare.

Now that the clues of the Evil God's Temple had reappeared, he naturally couldn't let it go.

"I didn't expect that the famous Guild Leader Black Flame would come here in person. I wonder what Guild Leader Black Flame wants from us?" Qi Yitao pretended that he didn't know anything and asked knowingly. At the same time, he quickly informed the Beast Emperor (shou huang) of Shi Feng's appearance, wanting to wait for rescue.

The name Black Flame was definitely known to everyone in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom.

A genuine number one expert in the Star-Moon Kingdom.

Although Qi Yitao was confident in his strength, he was far from being able to defeat Black Flame, even with Yanxue by his side.

Of course, if the high-level demons of the demon army hadn't all died, he wouldn't be afraid of Black Flame at all, and he would even be confident in killing Black Flame, but he really didn't have a single minion in his hand now.

"The evil aura of the Evil God's Temple is so strong that no one would believe that you have nothing to do with the Evil God's Temple," Shi Feng said sternly. "Tell me where your Evil God's Temple's base is? I can not take you back to the War God's Temple. As for the consequences of going to the War God's Temple, I think you should know better than me."

Although the players of the Evil God's Temple possessed terrifying power that other players didn't have, the evil ways ultimately required players to pay a price that was difficult to bear. Just dying once could drive the players of the Evil God's Temple crazy. If they were caught by the War God's Temple, it would be worse than death.

Qi Yitao's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

He didn't expect that Shi Feng actually knew the thing that the players of the Evil God's Temple didn't want to happen the most, and his face was unspeakably ugly.

"It's over, it's over, what should I do?" Qi Yitao watched Shi Feng walking over step by step, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He couldn't say no, and he couldn't say yes. He had never thought that a small person that he once looked down on could actually force him to this point.

Just as Shi Feng was less than 30 yards away from Qi Yitao, a space crack suddenly formed in front of Qi Yitao.

A figure appeared from the space crack, and it was none other than Qi Yitao's leader, the Beast Emperor (shou huang).
