Black Wing City.
The broad, bustling streets were lined with players hawking their wares on both sides.
It had only been a short while since his last visit.
The entire street leading to the Black Wing Auction House had transformed into a player market, its liveliness far surpassing any imperial capital in the four great empires.
Black Wing City was unlike other cities — anyone who held a pass could come here directly.
As players continued to grow in level, pass drop rates had increased, which meant the number of players arriving in Black Wing City had multiplied. On top of that, players came from every kingdom and empire, turning the city into the largest player trading hub in existence. Not even the capitals of the four great empires could compare.
The daily transactions conducted here by major guilds alone were astronomical in scale.
If you wanted to know where in the Divine Realm money was made, Black Wing City was one of the top answers.
Inside the Black Wing Auction House, guilds from various kingdoms and empires, as well as independent powerhouses, all preferred to sell or buy their goods here.
That was because anyone who could make it to Black Wing City was either a lucky soul who had obtained a pass or a skilled independent player — and the most common sight was players from major guilds. With good items up for sale, there was never any worry about finding a buyer, let alone whether the people here could afford them. That was why so many chose to bring their treasures here to sell.
Shi Feng stepped into the Black Wing Auction House, only to find the lobby even more packed than the street outside. At the registration counters alone, more than a dozen desks were swarmed with lines of players.
"Why are there so many people?" Shi Feng swept his gaze across the room. There had to be at least a thousand people. If the Black Wing Auction House weren't so massive, there was no way it could accommodate this many queuing players.
Just as Shi Feng was wondering what could have drawn such a crowd, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out behind him.
"Ye Feng, you heard the news too?"
Shi Feng turned toward the voice and saw that the person approaching was none other than Bai Qingxue, someone he hadn't seen in a long time. She wore a suit of silver-white sacred armor and carried a massive greatsword on her back — its silver blade engraved with golden divine script, radiating a faint aura of blood. That subtle crimson mist coiled around her, giving her the appearance of a Valkyrie on the battlefield.
Bai Qingxue alone drew heated stares from countless male players just by standing there.
Yet no one dared approach her casually. It wasn't only because she was the guild leader of the first-tier guild Snake of the Body — it was also because a group of chilling figures flanked her side.
Every single one of them was at least level 37, with the highest reaching level 39. In any kingdom, they would have ranked among the top names on the leaderboard, to say nothing of their prestigious backgrounds. Leading the group was the level 39 assassin Yun Yinshan.
Yun Yinshan was a well-known figure in the super guild Nine Heavens Tower, and ten years ago he had been hailed as a prodigious newcomer in the virtual gaming world. Rising like a meteor in his youth, he had earned a fearsome reputation through one hit virtual game after another before being recruited by Nine Heavens Tower at an astronomical price.
His arrival had shaken the entire virtual gaming industry.
And after joining a super guild like Nine Heavens Tower, he had risen to the position of the Ninth Tower Lord in a mere three years — a rate of ascent so swift that even other super guilds could only stare in disbelief.
