Chapter 1 Clarence Fortress

He smiled gently and said, 'The martial world is full of dangers.'
At the God Tribe guild headquarters, Clarence Fortress, the God Tribe's guild leader, Shen Wang, was dealing with documents from all over the guild.

Dozens of the God Tribe's top experts were gathered here, discussing something in hushed voices.

"Guild Leader Shen Wang, Shen Qiu De Leng Feng just sent word that the Blood Demon Knight Order has already gone to intercept Crazy Thief Nie Yan," a thief said in a low voice, walking up to him.

"The Blood Demon Knight Order moves pretty quickly. Xue Mo thinks he can get rid of Crazy Thief Nie Yan with that? His thinking is a bit too simple," Shen Wang said with a faint smile.

"It is said that Xue Mo has a backup plan."

"Crazy Thief Nie Yan isn't so easy to kill, let them fight like dogs," Shen Wang said, dismissing Xue Mo. "Does Shen Qiu De Leng Feng have any progress?"

"He just got the real-world addresses of three members of the Blood Demon Knight Order."

"Not bad, let him continue," Shen Wang said. As early as nine months ago, Shen Qiu De Leng Feng had already been controlled by Shen Wang, so every move of the Blood Demon Knight Order escaped his eyes. Xue Mo had no idea that his movements were already in Shen Wang's grasp.

Shen Wang never considered Xue Mo his opponent, because the two were not on the same level at all. He could play Xue Mo in the palm of his hand. He could only value opponents numbering less than ten in the entire server, including Angel Fall's Duo Duo, Niu Ren Tribe's Nie Yan, and Angel Hegemony's Ang Yi Tian Shi. Cao Xu from Century Financial Group could also be considered one, as well as some secret forces.

"Guild Leader, the Death God's Edge is in Crazy Thief Nie Yan's hands. The Blood Demon Knight Order can't kill Crazy Thief Nie Yan at all. Do we want to send guild members to intercept and kill him? With your order, I can pick out a few thousand experts and have them disguise themselves and ambush Crazy Thief Nie Yan," the thief said.

"No matter how we disguise ourselves, do you think Niu Ren Tribe's intelligence is for show? They will definitely find out we did it," Shen Wang shook his head.

"Even if Niu Ren Tribe knows we did it, we can pretend not to know. Anyway, Niu Ren Tribe is already busy enough with their own affairs. They can't possibly attack our Mo Yi Tribe. We're already giving Niu Ren Tribe enough face by disguising ourselves. If we don't disguise ourselves and openly intercept and kill Crazy Thief Nie Yan, Niu Ren Tribe will feel like they can't save face, and they might fight us to the death. With our disguise, even if Niu Ren Tribe knows we did it, they'll turn a blind eye," the thief said.

Shen Wang admitted that he made sense, but he still shook his head and said, "A few thousand people can't kill Crazy Thief Nie Yan at all. Even if he can't win, he can still run away! I have my own way. Liu Feng, come with me. The rest of you, go level up."

The others cast envious glances at the thief named Liu Feng, then dispersed.

Shen Wang led Liu Feng towards the interior of the guild headquarters, walking along a winding corridor for about five minutes before entering a secluded courtyard.

Liu Feng looked around curiously. It was full of dazzling red sunflowers. They were terrifying plants that, according to legends about demons, flowered and bore fruit every five years. The fruit they bore was a powerful hallucinogenic poison that could suffocate people in a blissful stupor. They were famous flowers of evil. And demons always liked to eat their fruit.

Just as Shen Wang, Liu Feng, and the others entered the courtyard, a deep, hoarse voice rang out, sounding very displeased.

"I said, don't bother me unless it's necessary!"

"Respected Master Anguide, I have important matters to report to you," Shen Wang said very humbly.

"If I think the important matters you speak of are trivial, you know the consequences." As soon as the words fell, a tall guy walked out. This person was the Anguide that Shen Wang spoke of.

Liu Feng bent over and glanced at Anguide. This guy named Anguide was extremely ugly, a head taller than them, and very strong. Part of the skin on his body was like a human's, smooth and white, while another part was like a demon's, bright red and rough. He had a pair of sharp horns, and a thick, giant tail behind him, but unlike ordinary demons, he didn't have wings.

Liu Feng's heart skipped a beat. A legendary half-demon! He couldn't see the level of this half-demon. ??? level. His level must be very high.

Hearing the half-demon's words, Shen Wang shuddered, clearly still shaken by the half-demon's punishments.

Liu Feng was very surprised. Why was Shen Wang so afraid of Anguide?

"Respected Master Anguide, I just got news that the Death God's Edge has appeared. It's in the hands of a mortal and is currently in the Barrenmarsh."

"Bring the Death God's Edge to me," Anguide said in a deep voice, a strange glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Respected Master Anguide, we are not his match. He is very powerful. In addition to possessing the Death God's Edge, he also holds a human artifact, the Paternoster Warhammer," Shen Wang said, carefully watching Anguide's expression.

Anguide was silent for a moment.

"He is our guild's most promising thief, named Liu Feng. Respected Master Anguide, I need some capable helpers, please grant him power," Shen Wang said, looking at Anguide.

Anguide glanced at Liu Feng and said indifferently, "I can't trust you. Since that person can get the Death God's Edge and the Paternoster Warhammer, it proves that he has very strong strength. I have decided to go myself. You go back."

Anguide rejected Liu Feng.

Shen Wang glanced at Anguide in surprise. At the beginning, he just wanted Anguide to make Liu Feng stronger. Liu Feng was a member of the God Tribe who had recently risen to prominence and had very good potential. According to Liu Feng, he had gained insight from watching Crazy Thief Nie Yan's videos, so when he fought, he had a very obvious Crazy Thief Nie Yan style and excelled among thieves. Shen Wang believed that Liu Feng was a potential stock most likely to catch up with Crazy Thief Nie Yan, so he wanted to help Liu Feng, but things went awry, and Anguide refused. However, what surprised him but also excited him was that Anguide had decided to take action himself.

With Anguide's strength, killing Crazy Thief Nie Yan should be a piece of cake.

Seeing Anguide issue the order to leave, Shen Wang led Liu Feng out. He looked at Liu Feng and said with some disappointment, "Anguide is unwilling to take you, so there's nothing I can do. I originally thought that our guild would have another Gold Wing, but it seems hopeless. However, since Anguide has decided to take action himself, then Crazy Thief Nie Yan is bound to die." Speaking of this, Shen Wang was a little excited. If the things were obtained by Anguide, then the first to benefit would be him!

Liu Feng glanced in the direction of the courtyard and pondered for a moment.

"Let's go," Shen Wang said.

Nie Yan was wantonly killing in the depths of the Barrenmarsh, and the number of monsters and players who died at his hands was countless. Such a big thing was soon known to the evil and orderly players: Crazy Thief Nie Yan has come to the underground again! This news caused a huge sensation. They hadn't forgotten how much commotion Nie Yan had caused last time he came to the underground, and he even got the title of God of Slaughter. Now this title was still resounding.

The news that the Death God's Edge was in Nie Yan's hands also spread quickly, attracting the attention of the players. Some players couldn't help but be eager to try. The temptation of artifacts was huge. Nie Yan's name made many people retreat, but there were still some guys who were not afraid of death who decided to come and try their luck.

The road that Nie Yan walked was covered with corpses, making people tremble with fear.

After only a while, a crisp system notification sounded: The golden earth dragon has leveled up!

The golden earth dragon was already at level 139, and its defense ability was increasing rapidly. The scales on its body were undergoing some strange changes, and the golden scales had become thicker and more textured. Looking at the state of the golden earth dragon, its defense level had increased by another level, reaching level nine. Several passive skills have been enhanced, but no new skills have been learned. It is estimated that new skills will be learned at level 140, because after a high level, most of the golden earth dragon's skills are learned at integer levels.

Nie Yan followed behind Bennett's soul, and after walking for about three hours, crossing a stinking swamp area, an open space appeared in front of him, several thousand yards in diameter. The ground was paved with stones and was very flat.

In the center of this area was a small tribe. There were about fifty or sixty buildings here, all of which were huts built with thatch and were very dilapidated. The area was quite large and was surrounded by protective fences, on which were placed some dilapidated crossbows.

This was clearly a village. The streets in the center of the village were full of players, and there were some NPCs on both sides setting up stalls and selling things.

It was a bit unbelievable that there was such a prosperous village in the swamp.

What Nie Yan didn't know was that before he came, it was very dilapidated, and basically no players came, but with his arrival, it became lively. Most of the players here were here for him!

The entire village was active with five or six hundred players, and there were also twenty or thirty NPCs.

Bennett's soul circled in front of the village for a moment.

Is the clue in this village?

Not very sure yet. Nie Yan was silent for a moment, it seemed that he had to go into the village and take a look!

Many players had already discovered that he was coming. Since the Death God's Edge was in his hands, many people could confirm his position, and it was useless to sneak in.

Nie Yan looked up at the golden earth dragon, and the golden earth dragon spewed out a hot breath and shook its head.

He made a decision, summoned Paladin Leffers and Shadow Assassin, slightly picked his right hand, the dagger quickly rotated in his palm, and his cold light was awe-inspiring, he walked towards the village.

Paladin Leffers, Shadow Assassin, and the golden earth dragon followed closely behind Nie Yan.

At this time, the players who were sneaking in the distance and stalking Nie Yan saw this scene and were dumbfounded.

"What does Crazy Thief Nie Yan want to do? He actually wants to enter the village!"

A word flashed in everyone's mind, village massacre!
