• The six Dark Hunters judged Zero Wing's ordinary fighters vulnerable and agreed to seize their weapons before escaping.
• The Dark Hunters charged toward the Zero Wing members fighting on the battlefield.

Zero Wing pushed back the Beast Emperor’s monster army and gained the upper hand, but the Tier 2 members of Dark Hunters ambushed and killed nine Zero Wing experts. Fire Dance blocked their escape, confronting the six attackers.

• Kele and Turtledove held off the Evilblood Earth Dragon while Zero Wing cleared away the wounded evil demons and evil beasts, turning the battle in its favor.

• Fire Dance intercepted the six Dark Hunters members and challenged them for killing Zero Wing’s people.

• Shi Feng watched from Silverwing City’s walls and recognized the transformed Berserker as a possible aberrant player.

Shi Feng recognized Dark Bear’s transformation as aberration while Fire Dance overwhelmed him in combat. Lone Lamp and his companions transformed and prepared to attack her, but Shi Feng arrived through a spatial rift, evening the odds.

• Dark Bear transformed into an aberrant player with four arms and charged at Fire Dance.
• Fire Dance struck Dark Bear’s giant axe, sending him flying and dealing more than two thousand damage despite his increased Strength.
• Lone Lamp ordered his five companions to transform and drew twelve Black Arrows to finish Fire Dance quickly.
• Shi Feng appeared through a massive spatial rift and asked Lone Lamp what would happen if there were two opponents.

After Silver Wing Town’s victory, Zero Wing Guild attracted a surge of applicants and merchants, but Shi Feng kept shop leases prohibitively expensive to fund the town’s development. As he examined the battle’s spoils, he discovered an unidentified crystal hand bone and used the Eye of Omniscience on it.

• Players flocked to apply to Zero Wing Guild, and merchants and corporate groups contacted Water Rose about opening shops in Silver Wing Town.
• Shi Feng refused to sell the town’s shops and set their lease price at 2,000 Gold per month or 6,000 Magic Crystals.

• Shi Feng judged that the town still faced threats from the Beast Emperor and the superpowers, while Zero Wing Guild’s rapid recruitment strained its resources.
• Shi Feng examined the battle spoils, found an unidentified crystal hand bone, and investigated it with the Eye of Omniscience.

Shi Feng discovered the Cursed Sage's Hand and learned that its legendary alchemical abilities could help Zero Wing develop the lifestyle masters needed to make Bronze Guard Puppets. He found that twenty rare Soul-Melding Flowers were required to lift its curse and set out with Jing Wuming and the others for the Ice Crystal World to find them.

• Shi Feng discovered the Cursed Sage's Hand and triggered the Epic Main Quest "Sage's Wish," which required him to use the hand to find the Forest of the World and open the World Gate.

• Shi Feng realized the Sage's Hand could help train lifestyle masters and make it possible for Zero Wing to produce Bronze Guard Puppets to defend Silver Wing Town.
• Shi Feng inspected the cursed item and learned he needed twenty Soul-Melding Flowers to activate the creator's soul and remove the curse.
• Shi Feng decided to search for Soul-Melding Flowers in the Ice Crystal World and contacted Jing Wuming and the others to meet in White River City.

Shi Feng and the others returned to the Ice Crystal World and found its players well-equipped, with Hecate dominating Coldwind City’s leveling grounds. As Hecate seized the Ice-Snow Great Rift and demanded the Asura Adventure Group surrender its loot, Xuan Cang challenged them to fight.

• Yan Ya and the others saw that Ice Crystal World players had reached high levels and acquired impressive equipment, while Shi Feng wondered how Coldwind City’s crafters had surpassed Candlelight Trading Firm.
• Gu Jiujie spotted Asura Adventure Group members fighting a Level 56 Frost Giant Ape with a fifty-person team, and the returning group judged their combat skills inexperienced by God’s Domain standards.
• Over three thousand Hecate players entered the great rift, prompting independent players to discuss the guild’s power and equipment before Hecate ordered everyone to leave.
• Xuan Cang silenced the protesting players, then demanded that the Asura Adventure Group leave the Frost Giant Ape’s materials behind.
• When the Asura leader objected, Xuan Cang challenged the group to defeat him if they wanted Hecate to withdraw.

Xuan Cang confronted the Asura Adventure Group, demanding their Frost Giant Ape drops and five pieces of Mithril Equipment before attacking them. Shi Feng arrived with nine cloaked figures, struck Xuan Cang hard, and revealed that he was the Asura Adventure Group's leader.

• Xuan Cang mocked the Asura Adventure Group and forced Maple Dye to leave the Frost Giant Ape's drops behind.
• Xuan Cang demanded five pieces of level 50 Mithril Equipment, and Maple Dye chose to fight rather than surrender them.
• Xuan Cang charged the group and evaded their attacks, breaking through their melee fighters toward the healers and ranged players.

• Shi Feng arrived with nine cloaked figures and told Xuan Cang that he was the Asura Adventure Group's leader.

Shi Feng returned to Coldwind City and revealed himself as the Asura Adventure Group’s commander, prompting Xuan Cang of Hecate to challenge him. Mu Xiaoxiao stepped in to fight Xuan Cang, and their opening exchange ended with her blocking his attack and forcing him back.

• Shi Feng’s single strike drove Xuan Cang back and cost him over a third of his HP, while the Asura Adventure Group’s members recognized their returning commander.
• Xuan Cang drank an Advanced Healing Potion, restored his HP, and challenged Shi Feng to a proper fight.
• Mu Xiaoxiao told Xuan Cang he was not qualified to fight Shi Feng and challenged him herself, despite Maple Dye warning her about his strength.
• Xuan Cang used Charge and Star Pierce to attack Mu Xiaoxiao with eight spear strikes.
• Mu Xiaoxiao met the attack with Light-Splitting Flash, blocked all eight spear strikes, and forced Xuan Cang back several steps.

Mu Xiaoxiao used her superior equipment, combat techniques, and attributes to overwhelm Xuan Cang in battle. After she blocked his strongest attack with a battered longsword, she stunned him and killed him with a final assault.

• Mu Xiaoxiao used Snake Shadow to match Xuan Cang’s Chaotic Slash, leaving him at a disadvantage and alarming Hecate’s onlookers.

After Mu Xiaoxiao killed Xuan Cang, Hecate’s deputy commander ordered an attack on the Asura Adventure Group. Shi Feng and nine others charged into Hecate’s three-thousand-player army, and Shi Feng’s Flame Domain instantly killed several hundred of them.

• Mu Xiaoxiao collected Xuan Cang’s gauntlet and challenged the rest of Hecate’s members, who stayed silent after witnessing her strength.

• Chenfu Yiqiu ordered Hecate’s army to attack the Asura Adventure Group to avenge Xuan Cang and restore the guild’s standing.
• Maple Dye urged Shi Feng to retreat, but Shi Feng told fifty members to form a defensive line while he, Jing Wuming, and eight others confronted Hecate’s army.
• Shi Feng unleashed Flame Domain, incinerating several hundred Hecate players and leaving their equipment scattered across the snow.

Shi Feng let Jing Wuming, Gu Jiujie, and the other newly advanced Tier 2 players fight Hecate’s army, while they slaughtered hundreds of enemies without taking casualties. As Hecate’s momentum faltered, Shi Feng summoned a demon from the Book of Darkness to finish the battle.

• Chenfu Yiqiu ordered Hecate to attack the Asura Adventure Group after Shi Feng’s spell killed more than three hundred of his members.
• Jing Wuming and the others asked Shi Feng to let them test their Tier 2 strength, and he agreed as long as they finished quickly.
• Jing Wuming charged into Hecate’s army, blocked its ranged attacks with Blade Storm, and cut through its frontline with his spear.
• Gu Jiujie and the others joined the fight, while Shi Feng used Sword Return to Heaven to tear through the Hecate members attacking him.
• Hecate lost seven to eight hundred members in under a minute without killing anyone on Jing Wuming’s side, so Shi Feng summoned a demon through the Book of Darkness.

The Asura Adventure Group’s handful of experts and a Tier 3 Demon Slayer devastated Hecate’s forces in the Ice-Snow Great Rift, stunning Coldwind City’s players. As the battle made the group’s return a citywide sensation, Hecate’s upper ranks gathered to confront the threat.

• The Demon Slayer emerged from the Gate of White Bones, used Burning Annihilation to kill hundreds of Hecate members, and pursued the retreating army alongside Jing Wuming and the others.
• Jing Wuming and the other Asura experts routed Hecate’s forces, while independent players watched and celebrated the group’s overwhelming strength.
• Independent players recorded and livestreamed the battle, and reports confirming Mu Xiaoxiao had defeated Xuan Cang spread across Coldwind City’s official forum.
• Coldwind City players recognized the Asura Adventure Group’s return and praised its victory over Hecate.
• Hecate’s upper-ranking members gathered at their guild headquarters, where the grim young man leading them demanded to know who the Asura Adventure Group was.

After learning that Shi Feng's group had devastated Hecate's forces, Bloodlight ordered an investigation into the Asura Adventure Group and summoned Hecate's Twelve Heavenly Fiends. Back in Coldwind City, Shi Feng announced plans to establish the Adventurer Alliance and pursue control of the city.

• Bloodlight learned that Asura experts had caused Hecate more than two thousand casualties and ordered his subordinates to uncover their secret.
• Bloodlight summoned the Twelve Heavenly Fiends to Coldwind City to deal with the Asura Adventure Group.
• Shi Feng returned to Coldwind City with Jing Wuming and the others, where thousands of Asura members welcomed them.
• Gu Jiujie warned Shi Feng that the Asura Adventure Group's growing influence would make it a target for Coldwind City's major Guilds.
• Shi Feng declared that the Asura Adventure Group would establish the Adventurer Alliance and invite adventure groups and independent players to join.

Shi Feng announced that the Asura Adventure Group would establish the Adventurer Alliance, offering independent players access to its benefits and exchange platform. As rival Guilds moved to obstruct the plan, Shi Feng spent three days crafting equipment and prepared to open the alliance to the public.

• Shi Feng announced the Adventurer Alliance and gave Yan Ya its rules to publish.
• Gu Jiujie and the others began setting up the alliance after understanding its purpose and long-term benefits.
• Coldwind City's major Guilds agreed to obstruct the Asura Adventure Group, while Bloodlight ordered Hecate to disadvantage players associated with it and accelerated its work in the Ice-Snow Great Rift.
• Shi Feng used the Asura Adventure Group's accumulated materials to craft hundreds of pieces of Level 50 equipment and ten Magic Light Sets over three days.
• Shi Feng finished preparing the equipment and decided it was time to open the Adventurer Alliance to the public.

Hecate and the other major guilds cut off the Asura Adventure Group’s resources, issued bounties on its experts, and discouraged independent players from joining its Adventurer Alliance. After the alliance attracted no members, Shi Feng told Yan Ya to have Gu Jiujie publish its exchange list on the official forums.

• Bloodlight learned that Hecate’s lowered exchange rates had drawn elite players away from supporting Asura and declared that Hecate would take Coldwind City.
• A Level 52 Assassin reported that Asura’s returning experts would not reveal how they had grown stronger, and Bloodlight ordered him to keep investigating.
• Bloodlight learned that Mu Xiaoxiao and the others had rejected reserve elder positions, so he placed three-thousand-gold bounties on them and summoned the Twelve Heavenly Fiends.
• Hecate’s bounties caused a stir across Coldwind City, while players dismissed Asura’s announcement that its Adventurer Alliance was open to independent players.
• Yan Ya told Shi Feng that no one had joined the alliance, and Shi Feng instructed her to have Gu Jiujie publish its exchange list on the official forums.

Independent players in Frostbone Plains dismissed the Asura Adventure Group’s newly established Adventurer Alliance, until its benefits list revealed exchanges that included Level 50 Adamantite equipment and a full set of Magic Light equipment. The players were left stunned by the alliance’s apparent resources.

• Man Qi’s twenty-person team defeated a squad of over a hundred undead, and Man Qi said he was close to earning enough Ice Snow Stones for a Level 50 Mithril breastplate.
• Man Qi and his teammates discussed how major guilds controlled Mithril equipment and charged exorbitant exchange prices.
• A player told the team that the Asura Adventure Group had established the Adventurer Alliance, but the others doubted it could compete with the major guilds.
• The team opened the alliance’s benefits list and found exchanges for weapons and equipment, Combat Techniques, and rare materials and items using internal points.
• The players were astonished to see Level 50 Adamantite equipment and a complete set of Level 50 Adamantite Grade Magic Light equipment on the exchange list.

Shi Feng used the Adventurer Alliance’s generous exchange benefits to attract independent players and weaken Coldwind City’s guilds, including Hecate. He then activated a mana-gathering magic array inside a newly built shop, preparing to create a place that could improve the Asura Adventure Group’s strength.

• The Asura Adventure Group’s offers of Level 50 Adamantite-grade gear and Combat Techniques spread through Coldwind City, drawing huge numbers of independent players and prompting many guild members to leave.
• Bloodlight learned that over a thousand Hecate players wanted to terminate their contracts, while Yan Ya later reported that Hecate had lost more than three hundred experts and several thousand elite members.
• Shi Feng accepted the deed to the Asura Adventure Group’s new three-story shop, which Yan Ya said had cost eight thousand Gold Coins, and went there with her.
• Shi Feng drew the Starlight Energy Gathering Magic Array in the shop’s empty hall, intending to create a high-mana training place like the Arena in Stone Forest Town.
• Shi Feng spent five hundred Magic Crystals to activate the array and told Yan Ya it would open a new world.
