The moment Shi Feng finished speaking before the massive Dark Gate, the entire area fell silent. Mo Shan and Old Lin, along with everyone else present, stood there dumbfounded, utterly unable to believe that Shi Feng had actually dared to say such a thing.
It was simply insane!
They had truly thought Shi Feng was joking with them, or at most making empty boasts to their two guilds. But now he had walked right up to the major powers and players of the Dark World and declared this outright…
And after that brief silence, every Dark World player present burst into laughter.
"Is this Guild Master Black Flame here to tell us jokes?"
"He actually said this teleportation gate belongs to Zero Wing from now on? Does he think ownership is something you just declare and it's yours?"
"He wants to manage the Dark World's teleportation gate? Who does he think he is?"
…
In an instant, every Dark World player's gaze toward Shi Feng was filled with mockery and fury. The wariness and faint trace of reverence from before had completely vanished. Every last one of them thought Shi Feng had lost his mind — daring to provoke their entire Dark World.
"What exactly is this Black Flame thinking? Has he really lost his mind? Does he not realize that saying something like this makes him the enemy of every single person in the Dark World?" The Dark Knight of Dark Fantasy furrowed her elegant brows as she stared at Shi Feng, whose expression remained perfectly composed.
They could have treated the reports from Mo Shan and the others as a joke. But now that Shi Feng had publicly declared the teleportation gate belonged to Zero Wing, the joke was no longer funny at all.
It could only be described as overestimating his own abilities — or seeking his own destruction!
After all, forget about a super guild — even several superpowers joining forces wouldn't dare make such a bold proclamation.
Because controlling the teleportation gate meant wanting to control the entire Dark World — a declaration of war against countless players and every faction in the Dark World.
This went beyond mere stupidity!
"He's finished! He's absolutely finished now!" Elder Rage Heart stared at Shi Feng at the center of the crowd and couldn't help but laugh.
Because of Shi Feng's words, even if they at Heart of Demons didn't stir things up, the major powers and the independent experts would never let Zero Wing off the hook. They would hound Zero Wing until it was completely purged from the Cold Spring Great Forest — only then would this matter be settled. Otherwise, every player in the Dark World would be looked down upon by players from the Divine Realm and its major powers. This was something Dark World players and their powers would absolutely not tolerate.
After the Dark World crowd had laughed for a while, they began closing in on Shi Feng one after another, the killing intent in their eyes no longer concealed in the slightest. Several Third Class experts even drew their weapons, ready to teach Shi Feng a lesson.
"Guild Master Black Flame, what a pity. I originally thought you were a sensible man who knew when to advance and retreat. Now it seems Dark Fantasy and the Divine Kingdom were far too generous in their assessment of you." Dawn Hegemon shook his head, looking at Shi Feng, then turned to leave, having no intention of continuing any further conversation.
Five flying warships might be formidable, but they weren't so terrifying as to inspire genuine fear. After all, these weapons of war simply had immense power and destructive range, but their attack frequency was slow. When the gap between two sides' combat strength wasn't too enormous, they could indeed turn the tide. But when the gap was so vast as to be despairing, five flying warships couldn't change a thing.
Moreover, once they reached Third Class, they could dodge the flying warships' attacks. And with over fifty flying mounts present, they had nothing to fear from Zero Wing's five warships whatsoever.
As Dawn Hegemon turned and walked away, the Third Class independent experts and Third Class players from the major powers surrounding the area also laughed, slowly closing in on Shi Feng.
In an instant, nearly a thousand Third Class Dark World experts had drawn their weapons. The terrifying killing intent was so dense it turned the surrounding air murky and ice-cold.
Faced with such a display, even the Second Class Dark World players who had come to the Cold Spring Great Forest to watch the spectacle were burning with excitement.
