Zero Wing guild headquarters, conference room.
The spacious conference room was packed with Zero Wing's upper management, the atmosphere deathly tense.
A massive battle was imminent.
Although Zero Wing had completely suppressed Yi Xiao Qing Cheng in White River City, the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion that had emerged now was far, far stronger than Yi Xiao Qing Cheng — the two simply weren't comparable.
Everyone present understood the severity of the situation, and knew that getting through this would be anything but easy.
"Do you all think I'm a fool?" Shi Feng suddenly spoke up in a quiet voice from the guild master's seat.
But the answer he received was silence.
Not a single person answered. They simply looked at Shi Feng — their legendary guild master.
"Actually, I already know what you're thinking, even without you saying it." Shi Feng smiled, his expression easy and relaxed. "Everyone thinks I've lost my mind — daring to go head-to-head against a top-tier guild like Dragon Phoenix Pavilion. They say it's like smashing an egg against a rock, and that's being generous."
"To this day, in the entire virtual gaming world, apart from those super guilds, not a single guild has dared to stand against Dragon Phoenix Pavilion. Do you know why?"
"Simple — they're too strong! So strong that they make other guilds despair!"
"I'm sure you've noticed — plenty of guilds are already poised to pounce, watching us like vultures from the sidelines. Not a single guild believes in us. They all think we're finished, that we'll be erased from history. Right now, every last one of them is scheming to pick our bones clean."
"Do you know why all of this is happening?"
"Let me tell you — it's because none of them have ever respected us. Dragon Phoenix Pavilion is no different. Every major guild is the same. They think we're weak and helpless. That's why they come to bully us — to drink our blood, eat our flesh, and destroy us!"
"But I'm here to tell them — they're all going to be disappointed."
"Since no great guild has ever dared to challenge Dragon Phoenix Pavilion, then today, we'll make that history. We'll show everyone that Zero Wing is not to be trifled with. If anyone wants to take something from us, they'd better ask the swords in our hands first!"
"When enemies meet on a narrow path, only the brave prevail! Today, Zero Wing will teach Dragon Phoenix Pavilion a lesson!"
The moment Shi Feng finished speaking, everyone's blood ran hot with excitement.
Nobody had ever imagined this day would come.
In the entire virtual gaming world, apart from the super guilds, no guild had ever dared to provoke Dragon Phoenix Pavilion — yet Zero Wing was going to do exactly that.
And their guild master was leading the charge.
"So what if they're top-tier? I've had it with them for a long time! Today, I'm gonna have a blast taking them on!" Ke Le shouted excitedly.
"Haha, I've been waiting for you to say that, Boss! Fighting Yi Xiao Qing Cheng over and over has gotten so boring. Dragon Phoenix Pavilion showed up at just the right time — perfect for testing my recent improvements." Hei Zi licked his lips, looking utterly eager.
"Guild Master, just say the word on how we take on Dragon Phoenix Pavilion. I want to be first through the door!" Fei Ying said excitedly.
"You're all insane." Shui Se Qiang Wei shook her head helplessly, then grinned. "But I love it!"
In an instant, everyone started laughing and chatting, the oppressive atmosphere from before completely vanishing.
Dragon Phoenix Pavilion was overwhelmingly strong, but Zero Wing was no pushover either — they were far from helpless. If Dragon Phoenix Pavilion wanted to use their power to crush them, then they would show Dragon Phoenix Pavilion that they'd picked the wrong opponent. The enemy before them wasn't some feeble cub — it was a ferocious beast with razor-sharp fangs and claws.
"If I'm not mistaken, Dragon Phoenix Pavilion will likely strike after nightfall. Huo Wu, how are your preparations?" Shi Feng turned to ask Huo Wu, whose sharp yet captivating presence filled the room.
Given what Shi Feng knew about the Nine Dragons Emperor, there was an eighty percent chance he would try to destroy Zero Wing's guild headquarters.
