Chapter 1840 â No Need for Explanations
âGuild Leader, it seems that weâve been discovered,â Aqua Rose said as she felt the killing intent radiating from the female Half-elf Elementalist. However, she did not reveal any signs of panic at being discovered. Instead, she calmly smiled and said, âIt also seems that the other party doesnât appreciate our good intentions.â
âForget it Since they donât, so be it,â Shi Feng said, shaking his head and laughing. âSince theyâve spoken, letâs head over.â
Kill-stealing was a frequent occurrence in the fields. For such expert neutral players to come all the way to such a high-level danger zone, it was highly unlikely that they were just here to kill Bosses. The only possibility he could think of was that these players were here for a high-ranked quest or had found a clue leading to one.
Either way, they wouldnât like being discovered by other players.
For example, Shi Feng didnât want anyone to learn about his quest to unseal the Philosopherâs Hand. If they did, it would definitely cause trouble for him and his Guild. Even now, he hadnât told anyone about the quest, not even his teammates.
Any players that had an important quest or were trying to pick one up would conceal their activities. When discovered, theyâd greet the offending players with hostility. It wouldnât even be surprising if these players attacked without warning.
Hence, to avoid a misunderstanding, Shi Feng had decided to maintain his distance, hiding his team throughout the raid.
First, he wanted to avoid unnecessary combat.
Second, Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo were members of this neutral team. If Zero Wingâs members suddenly showed up in this deserted area, the team would suspect Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo of leaking information.
Third, he didnât want others to know what Zero Wing was doing in the Flame Demonâs Valley.
However, the female Half-elf Elementalistâs perception had exceeded Shi Fengâs expectations. He had never expected the woman to sense them 200 yards away despite her involvement in the intense battle. Even with his physique, he had barely seen the battle from this distance. The only other player that had seen the battle clearly was Minor Wind, who had activated Eagle Eyes.
The other teamâs members had been busy with the fight, making it impossible to maintain Eagle Eyes. Hence, he hadnât expected to be discovered.
However, since the team had noticed them, he had no choice but to reveal himself and see how events unfolded.
Meanwhile, the Half-beastmen and Half-elves warily watched Shi Fengâs group approach.
âGuild Leader, our tracks have been discovered. Should we kill them?â a Level 55, Tier 2 Berserker, a Half-beastman in armor and wielding a white bone spear, asked, lacing his words with killing intent.
âLetâs hear them out first. At the end of the day, this map is controlled by the human race. Moreover, weâre already half-way through our quest. An interruption will only make it more difficult to complete,â the female Half-elf Elementalist quietly responded.
During the battle, she had discovered Shi Fengâs group, but she had remained silent about it to see what the other players intended At first, she had assumed that the team was here to kiH-steal, but even after the Boss had died, Shi Fengâs group had been motionless. This proved that Shi Fengâs group had no designs on their loot.
Even so, she couldnât let the other party follow them. After all, she had an important quest to complete. She could only expose the team and persuade them to leave.
Of course, the decision had some risk. If negotiations soured, it was likely they would have to fight each other.
If Shi Fengâs group insisted on following them, she would have to act.
Her quest offered an extraordinary reward, which would qualitatively transform their Guild. With this reward, it was entirely possible that their Guild would instantly become as strong as a first-rate Guild.
As Shi Fengâs group increasingly closer to the female Half-elfâs team, Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo, who were busy with three Flame Demon Guards, stared with wide eyes.
âRain, arenât they from our Guild? Even Vice Guild Leader Aqua and Commander Fire Dance are here,â Blue Bamboo said, stupefied. âWhat should we do? Will Big Sis Melody suspect us of leaking information?â
The team they had joined on this expedition to the Flame Demonâs Valley for a quest was extremely important to Melody, the Guild Leader of Ninth Heaven. This quest could even determine the life or death of Melodyâs Guild. Hence, the woman had repeatedly forbidden them from telling anyone about the quest
Neither she nor Thoughtful Rain had spoken a word of their actions, yet their Guild members had shown up here. At this point, avoiding a misunderstanding was almost impossible.
âWe donât have a choice. We have to explain to Big Sis Melody and hope that she understands. But this is really a terrible coincidence,â Thoughtful Rain, who kept the three Flame Demon Guards busy, said helplessly.
Unfortunately, as Shi Fengâs group approached, Melody and the other Ninth Heaven members noticed the six-winged emblem on these playersâ chests.
âA six-winged emblem? Isnât that the same one that Rain and Blue wear? Could they be Zero Wingâs members?â
âGuild Leader, we havenât said anything about this operation to anyone. How could Zero Wingâs members be here?â
âCould it be⊠Did Rain and BlueâŠâ
âI knew outsiders couldnâtâŠâ
Suddenly, the Half-beastmen and Half-elves turned to Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo. Although they did not question the two directly, they watched the women with questioning gazes.
âEnough! Iâll handle this!â Melody roared as she shot her team members a chilling look. âLetâs find out why theyâre here first.â Suddenly, this team of neutral players heard a deep voice.
âI am Black Flame, Zero Wingâs Guild Leader. My team and I have a task in the Flame Demonâs Valley. May I ask you to remain here for some time? Once weâre done, weâll invite you in.â
Shi Fengâs voice was sonorous, echoing throughout the valley. Moreover, his aura was imposing. He felt like an ancient behemoth that had just woken.
âDamn it! Itâs true!â
When Melodyâs team members heard Shi Fengâs statement, they glared at Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo with indignation.
Meanwhile, Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo were at a loss for words. They felt as if any explanation would be useless.
âGuild Leader, since theyâve come to steal our quest, we should kill them!â one of the Tier 2 Berserkers said, exuding killing intent âI want to see just how powerful Zero Wing truly is!â
They had more or less heard of Zero Wing. This Guild, which had started with nothing, had gone on to take control of Star- Moon Kingdom. The Guild was powerful enough to rival a first-rate Guild, many times stronger than Ninth Heaven.
However, they didnât think that theyâd lose to Zero Wingâs experts in terms of individual combat standards.
They had the innate advantage of Half-beastmen and Half-elves, which would be particularly prominent in PvP.
Waving to her teammates for quiet, Melody turned to Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo. In a low tone, she asked, âI just want to ask one thing. Did you two leak our secret?â
âBig Sis Melody, we didnât say anything about this,â Thoughtful Rain insisted.
Blue Bamboo nodded repeated, firm resolution in her eyes.
âAlright, I believe you,â Melody said, revealing a gentle smile. She did not think that Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo would betray her trust. She then turned back to Shi Feng and said, âHello, Guild Leader Black Flame. I am Melody, the Guild Leader of Ninth Heaven. May I know why we cannot enter? That way, Iâll understand what I should do.â
Although there was no arrogance in Melodyâs voice, her voice held no deference, either. Rather, her tone contained questions and threats.
Depending on Shi Fengâs explanation, she wouldnât shy from a battle to the death or mutual destruction.
Thoughtful Rain and Blue Bamboo tensed.
âThe reason?â Shi Feng suddenly laughed. âIâm afraid that you donât qualify to demand answers from me. Moreover, Zero Wing has never needed to explain itself! All you need to know is that you are not allowed entry for the moment. If you refuse, Iâll simply treat you like the other monsters!â
Shi Feng then swung Killing Ray at the Flame Demon Guards chasing Thoughtful Rain, tearing the space before him. A golden lightning bolt struck one of the three Lords from over 60 yards away.

The powerful Flame Demon Guards then fell to one knee, the strike leaving a deep gash in their flesh. All three Lords were heavily injured. Meanwhile, a damage of over -100,000 appeared above the Flame Demon Guardsâ heads. Among the three Lords, one even suffered nearly -300,000 damage.
But compared to Shi Fengâs damage, what truly surprised the other Guild Leader was his ability to land his attack against the three moving Lords without harming Thoughtful Rain, despite being over 60 yards away. Moreover, Shi Feng had sent his attack through the other team, striking the Flame Demon Guards before they had been able to reactâŠ
Shi Fengâs timing and Skill usage were godlike.
This stunned Melody and the Ninth Heaven members, who had planned to put up a fight.
Without another word, Shi Feng led his team into the Flame Demonâs Valley, leaving the dumbstruck members of Ninth Heaven behind.
