Chapter 720 - Marquis
Shi Feng fell silent at Blackie’s question.
He had never expected the Flower of Seven Sins to take action so quickly. Not only had the organization made its move several days earlier than estimated, but their targets had also not been Zero Wing’s main force or upper echelons.
The loss of EXP from the Dark Gods Legion’s annihilation was a small matter. However, it would not be easy to recover the lost equipment.
“Blackie, tell Aqua and the others that they are already being targeted immediately and try to stay within city limits as much as possible. Have them focus on improving their techniques in the Divine Colosseum. We’ll deal with the Flower of Seven Sins once I return,” Shi Feng said after giving it some thought. The best decision right now would be to have Aqua Rose and the others avoid the executioner’s blade. With so many Refinement Experts, Aqua Rose and the others would have no chance of victory in their current state. “Right, also have Melancholic gather some materials for me. I’ll need them once I return.”
In God’s Domain, with players’ current strength, it was impossible to commit murder in the cities or Stone Forest Town and get away with it. Although the Flower of Seven Sins was powerful, they would throw away their lives and suffer in jail for a time if they killed another player within a city.
The Flower of Seven Sins would most likely avoid such a raw deal.
If they wanted to deal with the Flower of Seven Sins, their best option was to wait for his return and set up a trap for the organization’s assassins. Only then would they have a chance of victory. Anything else would just add bodies to the growing mound of corpses.
“I understand.” Blackie nodded solemnly. Although he was frustrated, this was all he could do right now.
After the call ended, Shi Feng busied himself, refilling the gaming cabin’s Nutrient Solution. He needed to give it his all and complete this Epic Quest of his as soon as possible.
Now that he was halfway through the quest, he could not turn back to seek for help. The penalty for failing an Epic Quest was no laughing matter.
I’m taking too much time to kill the Ghouls. I need to work faster. After Shi Feng logged into the game, he opened the imperial capital’s map and searched for the location with the highest density of monsters. Although the area around the Palace is crowded, it’s not the most populated area. Generally, the Trade Area has the most NPCs.
After deciding on a destination, Shi Feng activated Wind Rider, leading his two Tier 3 Demons as he charged towards the Thunder Beast Empire’s Commercial District.

At the same time, something was happening in Star-Moon Kingdom.
The news about the near annihilation of Zero Wing’s Dark Gods Legion had already appeared on Star-Moon Kingdom’s forums, and many players chatted about this latest drama.
“Aren’t there a ton of experts in Zero Wing’s Dark Gods Legion? How did they get wiped out?”
“I heard they were done in by a group of independent players.”
“I used to think that Zero Wing was very powerful. It seems that they only amount to this much.”
“Indeed. Others keep saying how powerful Zero Wing is and how the Guild has so many experts. In the end, a group of independent players slaughtered them. As expected, everything was just a bunch of rumors.”
…
As news about Zero Wing’s defeat spread, the Guild’s reputation began to sink. As a result, many players who had intended to join Zero Wing began to hesitate. Meanwhile, in Stone Forest Town, many Guilds had begun to move covertly when they heard this news. They were all preparing to deal with Zero Wing.
