After Shi Feng finished giving his instructions, Shenqiu Mingdong and the others let out a collective sigh of relief and began resting in place. As for Shi Feng entering the labyrinth, they had no intention of asking questions. After all, he was the guild master — if he had come here, there had to be a reason. Pressing him too hard would only earn his displeasure.
Besides, even if they wanted to enter the labyrinth themselves, they probably wouldn't have the ability to do so.
The labyrinth was filled with undead creatures above level sixty-five, including quite a few great lord-tier monsters. Relying solely on their own strength, they wouldn't dare venture too deep. If they ran into a high-ranking great lord, they'd be dead for sure.
Shi Feng, facing the siege of these undead creatures, dodged them all with ease. Not a single one of them could keep up with his speed, and the gap grew wider by the second. Within a few moments, he had vanished from their sight entirely. There was simply no chance these creatures could catch up to him.
"The gap in strength is truly enormous." Mu Qingcheng watched Shi Feng disappear, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
"It is enormous, but that doesn't mean we have no chance of catching up." Shenqiu Mingdong nodded and spoke slowly. "The Fire Dragon Empire has recently formed an adventurer coalition that actively recruits powerful adventurer teams. I hear even the super guilds have to show them some respect, and the coalition specializes in training top-tier fighters. I received an invitation from them before but didn't pay it much mind. Now, though, I think we should pay a visit."
In the past, he had been quite confident in the Purple Shadow Adventurer Team's strength. He'd believed that even if they couldn't match the superpowers, those superpowers wouldn't find it easy to deal with them either. But now he could see how spectacularly wrong he'd been.
In the face of true superpowers, the strength they had was barely enough for self-preservation, let alone establishing a foothold in the Night Empire.
Unless they could become monsters like Shi Feng — someone even the Dawn Court treated with wariness.
The Fire Dragon Empire's adventurer coalition was apparently formidable enough to make even super guilds sweat. It had to be something special. The Fire Dragon Empire was one of the Divine Realm's four great empires, utterly incomparable to the Night Empire. Numerous superpowers were established there, including several super guilds.
The fact that the adventurer coalition had managed to carve out a place for itself in the Fire Dragon Empire spoke volumes.
As for joining a guild — that wasn't something he wanted. Otherwise, he would have led his team into Star Ring long ago. Star Ring had been recruiting adventurer teams in droves before.
"Team leader, can we really catch up?" Mu Qingcheng couldn't help but look at Shenqiu Mingdong, her eyes shining with anticipation.
Shi Feng's overwhelming power had carved itself deep into her heart. What she wanted most now was to one day stand on the same stage as him, rather than remain a frog at the bottom of a well in the Night Empire.
"There shouldn't be any problem. That coalition promises that anyone who passes their training and evaluation will have the potential to stand at the very peak of the Divine Realm," Shenqiu Mingdong said.
Previously, he had dismissed such bold claims with contempt. After all, the Purple Shadow Adventurer Team already stood at the pinnacle of the Night Empire — why would they need someone else's training?
But now he could see how far they truly fell short. And a force powerful enough to rival the superpowers would naturally possess insight into the true strength of each major superpower. If they said passing the test meant becoming a peak-level powerhouse, it probably wasn't empty talk.
"That's great! The next time we meet, I'm definitely going to stand on the same stage as him!" Mu Qingcheng's eyes blazed with renewed fighting spirit.
It wasn't just Mu Qingcheng. Every top fighter on the adventurer team — Half Arrow Jinyu and the rest — felt the same way.
While the Purple Shadow Adventurer Team rested, Shi Feng had been activating his Gale Domain to shake off the undead creatures along the way. These undead were beings who had perished in the Ancient War. Their combat prowess was not only formidable but also highly coordinated. Fighting them head-on would have cost even Shi Feng a great deal of time.
Fortunately, these undead creatures weren't the type to relentlessly pursue players. Once the distance exceeded three hundred yards, they would give up the chase.
