"That's insane! He actually got the leaders of both Coldwind City's major guilds to come looking for him! Who on earth is he?"
The crowd in the distance stared at the scene, stunned beyond words.
Even Gu Jiuji, who was standing beside Shi Feng, didn't know what to say.
Whether it was Lei Zhentian or Badao Changkong, both were top-tier figures in Coldwind City — the kind of big shots whose words could shake the entire city three times over. Ordinarily, you couldn't even get a meeting with them, yet now they had both shown up together.
"That's right. What business do you have with me?" Shi Feng responded to their demands with perfect calm.
An army of ten thousand players might look overwhelming to ordinary players — a dense sea of bodies where just being stared at by that many people would make anyone uncomfortable, let alone facing a guild's elite forces. That kind of pressure was no joke.
But for Shi Feng, who had seen armies of tens of thousands and even millions, this was nothing but a small scene. This was an NPC city, after all.
"Impressive. Didn't expect you'd actually have the nerve to admit it." Lei Zhentian studied the composed Shi Feng and arched an eyebrow. "I am Lei Zhentian, Guild Leader of the Gaishi Family. Since you've admitted it, let's make this simple. Hand over every drop you picked up and all the equipment on your body, then die once more, and this matter will be considered settled. Otherwise, bear the consequences."
"Guild Leader, isn't that going too easy on this kid?" Several executives behind him exclaimed in disbelief.
They had expected Lei Zhentian to hunt Shi Feng down until he deleted his account. Yet this so-called "punishment" was far too lenient.
"I have my reasons!" Lei Zhentian shot a glare at his subordinates, and the guild executives immediately fell silent.
What these executives didn't know was that Lei Zhentian was far more interested in Shi Feng's equipment than in avenging Di Yufeng.
From the battle footage, it was obvious that Shi Feng's base stats were absurdly powerful. Even Lei Zhentian himself, using first-tier skills, couldn't guarantee he could one-shot Di Yufeng — after all, Di Yufeng's gear was excellent, his HP exceeded thirty thousand, and PvP involved damage reduction unlike fighting monsters. Instantly killing a top-tier player of the same level was extremely difficult.
Yet Shi Feng had done it effortlessly. His normal attacks could send a level 45 Shield Warrior flying. That kind of strength rivaled a Grand Lord of the same level.
With stats that powerful, Shi Feng's top-tier equipment certainly couldn't be limited to just one piece. There might very well be something Lei Zhentian could use.
And if he killed Shi Feng, even with the Soul Loss effect, only a few items would drop at most. If Shi Feng was stubborn enough to store everything in a bank vault, he'd be completely out of luck.
"Hahaha, my friend, don't listen to him! As long as you join our Baishi Dynasty, I guarantee — forget everything else — that within the entire Coldwind City region, you'll be perfectly safe." Badao Changkong shot Lei Zhentian a glance, then turned to Shi Feng with a smile. "Once you join us, never mind the rest — the position of vice-captain of the main raid team is as good as yours."
"He's lost it! Completely lost it!"
"Am I hearing this right? Badao Changkong is making such a commitment to an unknown player? Even the recruitment offer for Jing Wuming wasn't this generous!"
Badao Changkong's voice carried far, and the onlookers could hear him clearly enough. They simply couldn't fathom the conditions he was offering.
A guild's main raid team was the core of the core, managed directly by the Guild Leader — not even the Vice Guild Leader had the authority to deploy it. The raid team captain was arguably more important than the vice guild leader, and the vice-captain was the second-in-command. The position's prestige went without saying.
Offering such a high-ranking position right off the bat showed just how highly Badao Changkong valued Shi Feng.
"Badao! Are you determined to make an enemy of my Gaishi Family?" Lei Zhentian whirled to face Badao Changkong with fury in his eyes. He had guessed that Badao Changkong was coming to play contrarian, but he never expected the man to be this brazen.
"Have our two guilds ever been on good terms?" Badao Changkong sneered.
Within Coldwind City, their two major guilds had clashed countless times, openly and covertly, and neither feared the other. Crushing the Gaishi Family's momentum while recruiting a top-tier player — that was hitting two birds with one stone. He certainly wasn't going to pass it up.
"Fine! In that case, I'll deal with your Baishi Dynasty too!" Lei Zhentian's expression darkened as he issued his command. "Everyone, charge!"
"Very well! Let's see who's afraid of whom!" Badao Changkong immediately directed his guild members forward as well.
