Chapter 1 Hancheng, Hecate Guild Residence

Because Hecate suddenly lowered the guild's recruitment standards and equipment exchange ratio to the public, the guild hall was bustling with people.

Among these people, a considerable proportion are free players, all using rare materials to exchange for level 50 weapons and equipment.

"Vice President, because we lowered the exchange ratio, the number of players who came to exchange equipment has more than doubled during this period, and these players are all above the elite level. They have signed contracts with us, and they will not only not support Shura, but also secretly exclude Shura's people. As for other guilds, they have done almost the same thing. Now most of the elite players in Hancheng are already on the opposite side of the Shura Adventurer Group."

"Even if the Shura Adventurer Group establishes that Adventurer Alliance in the future, they will not be able to obtain any resources from it to improve the strength of the Shura Adventurer Group."

"Good! Well done. The rest is to find out the reason why those people in the Shura Adventurer Group have become stronger, and then take down Hancheng."

Xue Guang was very satisfied with the report from his subordinate.

In the competition for Hancheng, he had to admit that the Shura Adventurer Group was extremely competitive, even stronger than the Bai Shi Dynasty.

However, it was simply wishful thinking and overestimation for the Shura Adventurer Group to compete with their guilds for Hancheng. This was something that the major guilds would never allow. If it spread out, it would probably become a laughing stock in other cities, so even if it meant sacrificing some of the guild's interests, they would definitely stop it.

Originally, it was impossible for them, Hecate, to attract most of the elite players in Hancheng.

However, thanks to the efforts of the major guilds, most of the elite players in Hancheng are now on their side. The remaining elite or master players have no intention of exchanging, or have their own channels, and will not easily exchange or sell the rare materials in their hands. In other words, their major guilds now control the main source of rare materials in Hancheng.

Although the Shura Adventurer Group has quite a few top experts, controlling Hancheng is not something that can be done with just a few experts. It still requires a large number of experts and top-quality equipment in order to complete that difficult city contribution.

The Shura Adventurer Group does have a way with expert players, but obtaining top-quality equipment is not easy. This requires a large amount of rare materials to support it. After all, the acquisition of equipment in the entire Ice Crystal World is through crafting, but the crafting difficulty is extremely high and the success rate is not high. Without a massive amount of rare materials thrown in, it is impossible to arm a powerful team.

With the small number of people in the Shura Adventurer Group, they simply cannot obtain much resources.

Moreover, adventurer groups are different from guilds. Guilds will spend a lot of money to cultivate a group of life players, but even if there are life players in the adventurer group, without heavy investment, there are very few high-level life players, or even none at all. It is even more difficult to obtain good equipment.

Now that their major guilds have cut off the Shura Adventurer Group's access to rare materials, the Shura Adventurer Group has no chance to compete for Hancheng.

"Vice President, after this period of investigation, those experts who returned to the Shura Adventurer Group have not mentioned a word about the improvement of their strength. As for the original experts of the Shura Adventurer Group, they also know nothing about it. The information blockade is very strict." The reporting level 52 Assassin said helplessly.

"It doesn't matter, continue to investigate." Xue Guang smiled faintly, "Even if we can't find out, it doesn't matter. When we control Hancheng, if they still don't want to talk, I will make their Shura Adventurer Group disappear from Hancheng completely!"

The reporting assassin couldn't help but smile when he heard Xue Guang say this.

Although the Shura Adventurer Group has made a name for itself in Hancheng, an adventurer group is just an adventurer group after all. Trying to fight against their Hecate is simply courting death.

When they control Hancheng, they will be able to obtain a small part of the control of Hancheng, and this power can be used to deal with an adventurer group is simply an easy task. It doesn't matter how powerful those experts in the Shura Adventurer Group are.

"By the way, how are those experts I asked you to poach from the Shura Adventurer Group doing?" Xue Guang suddenly remembered and asked.

He was indeed very optimistic about Mu Xiao Xiao and others who killed Xuan Cang before. With such strength, if they joined their Hecate, they would undoubtedly become a huge help to Hecate.

Hearing Xue Guang ask this, the reporting assassin suddenly fell silent.

"What? Do they think we are offering too little?" Xue Guang asked strangely.

"Well, they said they are not interested in the identity of the guild's reserve elder. If it is changed to... the position of guild leader or vice president, they might consider it..." The level 52 assassin nodded and said truthfully.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the desk in front of Xue Guang was directly smashed to pieces by Xue Guang's palm. The cold killing intent made the guild executives on the side tremble.

"Things that don't know how to live or die! Since they want to be buried with the Shura Adventurer Group, I will fulfill them!" Xue Guang's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said coldly, "Tell them to put a bounty on these people, three thousand gold per person. At the same time, send people to keep an eye on them, and notify the Twelve Heavenly Fiends to rush over as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Everyone in the president's office nodded repeatedly, and they couldn't help but sympathize with Mu Xiao Xiao and others. Mu Xiao Xiao's dare to do this was simply an act of courting death.

Soon Hecate released the bounty, which immediately caused a sensation in the city.

"Damn it! Hecate is trying to kill the Shura Adventurer Group!"

"Three thousand gold! It's a fortune. Even members of the same adventurer group are probably secretly trying to kill each other."

"However, these people are too strong. It is impossible to kill them at all."

"Who said that? It is true that they are very strong, but there are so many props in God's Domain. If you have a powerful prop, it is not impossible to kill them. It depends on whether you are willing to give up. But now it is three thousand gold. Maybe there are experts with powerful props who will really do it."

"I really don't understand what the Shura Adventurer Group is thinking. First, they are enemies with Hecate, and then they are enemies with the entire Hancheng guilds. Now the resources are cut off, and the top experts of the guild are being targeted. I think the Shura Adventurer Group is going to be finished."

"Who said no? After all, an adventurer group is just an adventurer group. It is still too tender to fight against a big guild."

…

Everyone was extremely envious of the newly released bounty from Hecate, and they all wished they could rush into the Shura Adventurer Group's residence now. However, more free players felt sorry for the Shura Adventurer Group.

If it wasn't for courting death and setting their sights on Hancheng, I'm afraid Hecate really couldn't do anything to the Shura Adventurer Group. It was not impossible for them to eventually grow into an adventurer group that all the major guilds were afraid of.

Just when everyone was talking about this, the Shura Adventurer Group also announced that the Adventurer Alliance was officially open, and they welcomed everyone to go to the Shura Adventurer Group's residence to sign up and join. As long as they meet the status of a free player, they can join the Adventurer Alliance and enjoy some of the Shura Adventurer Group's benefits.

"The Shura Adventurer Group is really stupid. Who would dare to join at this time?"

"Yes! Most of the level 50 weapons and equipment are made by the guild. How much equipment can an adventurer group exchange? Unless someone doesn't want weapons and equipment in the future, they will join this boring Adventurer Alliance."

…

Everyone was completely uninterested in the Shura Adventurer Group's announcement, and they didn't even want to have anything to do with the Shura Adventurer Group. The major guilds sneered at this.

"Guild Leader, we have been promoting it for a long time, but so far, no players are willing to join the Adventurer Alliance." Yan Ya said speechlessly while sitting in the adventurer group's residence.

It has to be said that the methods of the major guilds during this period have been very powerful, and they have forced the vast majority of free players to not dare to join the Adventurer Alliance.

"Okay, I originally wanted to save some face for the major guilds. Since they don't want it, then we don't need to be polite." Shi Feng didn't take it seriously, and then said, "Tell Gu Jiuji to post the Adventurer Alliance's exchange list on the official website forum."

"Yes! I'll go and notify the vice guild leader!" Yan Ya smiled and excitedly contacted Gu Jiuji.
