Chapter 1 The Beginning

The black-robed Elementalist was a Level 33 player, ranking among the top twenty on the Star-Moon Kingdom's level leaderboard. His equipment was also exceptional, with most of his gear being Level 30 Fine-Gold rank and the rest Dark-Gold rank. In particular, the staff he wielded was engraved with many fiery red runes, definitely not an ordinary Dark-Gold staff.

"Yaochen!" Lie Sandao was astonished to see the black-robed Elementalist emerge. "What are you doing here?"

Among the top ten experts on the Star-Moon Kingdom's Red-Name List, Blood痕 ranked seventh.

Yaochen ranked even higher, at third place.

The Red-Name List differed from the Level List, ranking players purely based on strength, making it even more accurate than the Wind and Cloud Expert List.

"So, you're the Yaochen who defeated Red Feather, the top expert from the Star River Alliance." Bei Feng Ditiao looked at Yaochen with newfound respect, coldly saying, "Are you also here to deal with Zero Wing?"

Red Feather was one of the strongest fighters in the Star River Alliance, a top expert on the Wind and Cloud Expert List.

Being able to defeat such a top expert naturally placed him among the elite of the Star-Moon Kingdom. Even Bei Feng Ditiao couldn't afford to be careless, or he might die here.

"Originally, I just wanted to earn some pocket money, but it seems that's not possible now." Yaochen glanced not far from Bei Feng Ditiao, shaking his head. "Zero Wing Guild has experts in abundance, truly living up to its name."

Lie Sandao was puzzled by this.

With Yaochen's strength and so many companions, taking down Bei Feng Ditiao in a short time shouldn't be a problem. Yet, he was giving up now.

Just then, a figure emerged beside Bei Feng Ditiao.

This figure was none other than Feiying, who had been lurking in stealth nearby.

"This guy is amazing, actually detecting me from this far away." Feiying was secretly shocked. With his skill, only Guild Leader Shi Feng, Fire Dance, and Zi Yan Liuyun could discover him at this distance. This showed just how strong Yaochen really was.

"You didn't come out to say we'll just let this matter drop, did you?" Feiying looked at Yaochen, his voice low.

Yaochen and the others had come for Zero Wing from the start. Now that they knew it was too much trouble, they wanted to leave. They were underestimating Zero Wing too much.

"Of course not." Yaochen said calmly, "I have some information that will be very useful to Zero Wing. How about I offer that as compensation?"

"What information?" Feiying asked.

"Currently, those attacking your Zero Wing Guild are all Red-Name players and small studios, but this is just the beginning. I heard the mastermind has already bribed the Seven Sins, specifically targeting Zero Wing," Yaochen slowly revealed.

Upon hearing "Seven Sins," everyone gasped.

There were many forces in the virtual gaming world, including guilds, studios, and also some special organizations, like the Seven Sins.

The Seven Sins was neither a guild nor a studio, but its reputation resounded throughout the entire virtual gaming world.

The reason for their fame was that the Seven Sins specialized in assassination.

This assassination work specifically targeted players in the game.

Any virtual game with a PK (player versus player) mechanism had the Seven Sins. As long as players could afford their price, the Seven Sins could complete the job, regardless of whether it was a monster-like expert or the leader of a super guild.

This had happened before. Someone had once paid to assassinate the leader of a super guild, and the Seven Sins had successfully completed the mission. The super guild was furious and launched a full-scale war against the Seven Sins, but the end result was the super guild's destruction. They were slaughtered by the Seven Sins, leaving no survivors, and disappeared from the virtual gaming world.

However, the Seven Sins' price was extremely high, beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Is what you're saying true?" At this moment, Fire Dance suddenly appeared from the crowd, asking with great seriousness.

Yaochen was startled by Fire Dance's sudden appearance, feeling immense pressure.

"How could I not sense her at such a close distance?"

Yaochen's expression was grave as he looked at Fire Dance. This was the first time someone had been able to get so close without him noticing. He had a special skill that gave him far greater perception than normal players; otherwise, he wouldn't have easily discovered Feiying.

If a fight broke out at such close range, the chances of him being killed were very high.

"This Zero Wing Guild is really terrifying. No wonder that person would hire the Seven Sins." Yaochen finally understood, then looked at Fire Dance with a wry smile, "I can guarantee the truthfulness of this information, but I don't know what that person specifically asked the Seven Sins to do."

"You can leave," Fire Dance waved her hand.

She doubted Yaochen was lying to her. Experts had their own pride, especially experts like Yaochen.

Afterward, Yaochen led his group away. As for Lie Sandao, he naturally couldn't leave alive and died at the hands of Feiying. Yaochen didn't care. Although they were both Red-Name players, they were neither teammates nor companions, so he had no obligation to save Lie Sandao.

"Sister Fire Dance, what should we do now?" Feiying sheathed his daggers, asking with some concern.

The terror of the Seven Sins was deeply ingrained in people's minds. They had never failed once, and even super guilds wouldn't provoke them. Now, the Seven Sins was going to deal with Zero Wing…

Even with Zero Wing's current strength, Feiying didn't think they could withstand the Seven Sins.

"This is a serious matter; we should inform Aqua Rose and the Guild Leader," Fire Dance didn't know what to do. The Seven Sins' reputation was just too great. Everyone who had ever been involved in virtual games knew they were transcendent.

If the Seven Sins really wanted to destroy Zero Wing, this would definitely be the biggest crisis in Zero Wing's history.

World's Peak, Mount Sogaal.

Shi Feng, through two Tier 3 demons constantly searching, found a tightly locked, massive stone gate near the summit of Mount Sogaal. The stone gate was engraved with many magic runes, and many black chains were wrapped around it, faintly emitting a faint pressure.

Shi Feng had felt this kind of sensation before.

Divine Might!

Although the Divine Might was very, very faint, anyone who had ever felt it would never forget that feeling.

Shi Feng's level had now reached Level 34, high enough to rank among the top three in the Star-Moon Kingdom. However, here on Mount Sogaal, that meant nothing. If it weren't for the two Tier 3 demons, Shi Feng wouldn't have been able to reach this place at all.

Because along the way, Shi Feng had encountered several Level 50 Lord-ranked monsters. With Shi Feng's strength, he had no chance of survival except to use the Ring of Space to escape.

And beside the massive stone gate, a giant beast was also lurking.

"This quest is really not ordinary!" Shi Feng muttered with a wry smile as he stared at the giant beast beside the stone gate.

Nine-Headed Demon Serpent, Ferocious Beast, Grand Lord, Level 55, HP 90,000,000.
