The Most Dazzling Guild in the Arena

As the event countdown gradually ticked down to zero, players gathering at Feather Moon Fortress rapidly increased in number. Before long, the place was packed shoulder to shoulder.

Although Feather Moon Fortress was a high-level map, with monsters generally starting at level forty, there were simply too many players.

Players flooded forward across the mountains and plains, and no matter how many monsters there were, there would never be enough to kill.

Some players even tried taking the initiative, charging in to scatter the Naga forces and recreate Qin Chuan's glorious feat in Beili City.

But what greeted them was the Naga Witch's lightning magic, sending every last one of them back to the Respawn Point.

This made quite a few players recognize their own limits and realize that not everyone could reach Night Wanderer's level.

After the event was triggered, Sandis Feather Moon became busy, deploying scouts to investigate the Nagas' movements and relocating all defensive equipment to the side facing Soder Black River, readying the fortress for battle.

Qin Chuan took Xiao and the others around the fortress, seeing whether they could trigger another couple of quests.

They had not found any quests yet, but they ran into quite a few familiar faces first.

Dragon Soar Under Heaven approached with several hundred guild members and asked expectantly, "Boss, do you know any insider information about this event?"

Qin Chuan thought for a moment before replying, "Nothing much. Just fight however you like."

Arrow Pierces the Sky, the archer from Dragon Soar's team, spoke up. "Boss, that Richardson has been shouting about surpassing you and taking first place on the Level Rankings. We cursed him out for it."

Qin Chuan had heard about that as well. He had even watched the Apocalypse Global Forum for a while. Hearing Arrow Pierces the Sky bring it up, he smiled confidently. "Richardson? He's nothing but dry bones in a grave."

Those words actually carried two meanings.

On one hand, he was unafraid of Richardson's challenge.

On the other, Qin Chuan had already pronounced Richardson's fate in advance.

In his previous life, Richardson had not even survived until the Divine Advent Stage.

That guy had been far too high-profile. Not only had he revealed early on that he possessed an SSS talent, but he had even let slip the attributes of his talent while drunk. In the end, he was targeted and killed.

Of course, no one else knew this. They merely took Qin Chuan's words as a display of confidence.

Arrow Pierces the Sky sighed. "As expected of my destined rival. Even the way you speak is so domineering."

Xiao asked curiously, "The guild leader is your rival? What happened? Tell me all about it."

Just as Arrow Pierces the Sky was preparing to explain the many reasons why he and Night Wanderer were evenly matched, Dragon Soar Under Heaven cut in first. "Boss, when the Nagas arrive later, leave us some scraps."

Qin Chuan nodded. "I'll try to hold back a little."

Meanwhile, Xiao and Arrow Pierces the Sky had already started chatting, occasionally exclaiming, "So that's how it is," and, "You can do that too?"

Before long, Xiao had thrown an arm around Arrow Pierces the Sky's shoulders, looking like he had met a kindred spirit too late.

Xiao said quickly, "Later, I'll introduce you to Yin Mie. You two will definitely get along."

Arrow Pierces the Sky added, "We've got an assassin in our team named Shadow Kill. You can get to know him too."

Both Qin Chuan and Dragon Soar Under Heaven wore expressions that said they had no interest in getting to know either of those two.

As they spoke, a small commotion arose in the distance.

"Holy shit! That's so flashy!"

"Damn, the girl at the front is wearing full plate armor. She's beautiful and badass—I'm in love."

"It's Peak Guild!"

"But I remember Peak Guild didn't have any female knights."

"That equipment set is probably a mix of Gold-rank and Dark Gold-rank gear. It must be worth tens of millions altogether. That's not a party—it's walking Yan Country Coin."

"It's Ji Xing! She built the Destroyer Mech! A lot of mechanic players call her the Mechanic Queen."

"I know the guy next to her. That's Xue Zhong Yi Jian Xia! He and Night Wanderer set up Rakshasa One-Blade Cut and scammed him out of more than two hundred million."

"That mage-looking guy should be Ultimate Is Awesome, right? I heard he's loaded with big skills. One burst combo can instantly kill a BOSS!"

"I know who the knight leading them is. His name is Yingluo Yezakura, and he's male. I heard Guild Leader Dragon Soar fell in love with him at first sight, only to get friend-zoned. He went home and cried for three days and nights."

"I'm even more excited now!"

"Damn, everyone in Peak Guild is a talent. No wonder Night Wanderer recruited them into his guild."

"Why is there an uncle among them?"

"Don't call me uncle! I just turned eighteen this year!"

Xu Changqing, who had been basking in reflected glory within the group, could no longer hold it in and loudly retorted.

What kind of nonsense was that?

When they talked about Ji Xing, Ye Ge, and the others, it was all glorious achievements. How come when it came to him, they were judging his appearance?

Was it wrong to look mature?

Dragon Soar Under Heaven could not hold it in either, his sharp gaze sweeping through the crowd.

He wanted to see who had been spreading rumors about him.

What did they mean, cried for three days and nights?

Did that even sound believable?

After searching around without finding anyone, Dragon Soar Under Heaven said bitterly, "Rakshasa One-Blade Cut must have sent people to spread those rumors! What kind of man dares to do it but not admit it? Come out if you've got the guts!"

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut, who had just arrived at Feather Moon Fortress, sneezed. The moment he turned around and heard Dragon Soar Under Heaven's words, he flew into a rage and shouted, "Dragon Soar Under Heaven, what do you mean? When did I ever spread rumors? You need evidence when you talk—don't slander innocent people!"

Rakshasa Mad Blood whispered beside him, "Guild leader, we did send people to badmouth Dragon Soar Under Heaven on the forum."

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut did not change expression and said bluntly, "Dragon Soar Guild badmouthed us too. That only makes us even."

Rakshasa Mad Blood clasped his fists. "The guild leader is right!"

He then secretly observed the size of Dragon Soar Dynasty and said with some concern, "Guild leader, Dragon Soar Guild brought a lot of people. Are we still fighting them later?"

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut nodded confidently. "Of course we are! I prepared something good this time. I'll definitely make that old bastard Dragon Soar Under Heaven pay dearly! I can't beat Night Wanderer, but can't I beat Dragon Soar Under Heaven?"

On the other side, Dragon Soar Under Heaven was also issuing orders in the Guild Channel. "When the Nagas charge over later, send Rakshasa Hall's people to the Respawn Point first!"

Dragon Soar Under Heaven and Rakshasa One-Blade Cut exchanged glances, snorted coldly at the same time, and turned their heads away.

Qin Chuan also gave an order in the Guild Channel. "Ji Xing, later, fire a couple of shots from the Destroyer at Rakshasa Hall's position. I've been feeling uneasy lately. I have a feeling that brat Rakshasa One-Blade Cut has been cursing me behind my back."

Ji Xing readily agreed. "Trivial Matter. Leave it to me."

Before long, Ji Xing, Yingluo Yezakura, and the others successfully joined up with Qin Chuan's group. Every member of Peak Guild had arrived.

Though they had few people, they were unquestionably the center of attention in the entire arena.

A guild with eleven members occupying the top eleven spots on the global Level Rankings—strength like that was impossible to ignore.

Feeling the envious gazes of the other players, the members of Peak Guild were immensely proud as well.

Looking across all of Apocalypse, what other guild could achieve something like this?

This was the confidence Peak gave them!
