101: Lord of Black Phoenix City - Death Waltz

The Divine Dragon Country has a total of eight main cities, located in the four cardinal directions: east, west, north, and south.

South: Yunlong City, Black Phoenix City

West: Twilight City, Unfallen City

East: Junlin City, Lingbo City

North: Frost Snow City, Hanyue City

Death Waltz comes from the strongest force in Black Phoenix City—the Black Phoenix Guild!

Death Waltz is a legend of Black Phoenix City; the Black Phoenix Guild, which he single-handedly built, gradually swallowed up all the major forces in Black Phoenix City, ascending to the position of ruler!

Decades ago, Black Phoenix City was also a gathering place for top-tier powers, with many heroes rising.

But now, the only top-tier force left in Black Phoenix City is the Black Phoenix Guild!

The other major forces were either destroyed or subjugated; those that survived are only second-rate and insignificant small forces... The Black Phoenix Guild monopolizes the resources of Black Phoenix City, and its foundation and strength have long reached unfathomable levels, making it the sole overlord of Black Phoenix City.

As the boss of the Black Phoenix Guild, Death Waltz is the uncrowned king of Black Phoenix City!

..."Ember Eyes, long time no see!"

Under the gaze of the surrounding crowd, Death Waltz stopped in front of Ning Fengya.

Facing the overlord of Black Phoenix City, Ning Fengya's pretty face showed no tension or fawning; she merely looked at Death Waltz with indifference.

"Why are you here?"

Death Waltz smiled, "I was bored and missed you a little, so I came to see you!"

Whoosh—

Hearing this, the surrounding players instantly burst into an uproar, with the flames of gossip burning brightly.

For a time, even the Supreme Secret Realm dungeon was overshadowed... "What did Death Waltz mean just now? Could it be that he's taken a liking to Ember Eyes?"

"They are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, why not? I wholeheartedly approve of their relationship!"

"What good is your approval? Night Ember is Ember Eyes' rumored CP; does he approve?"

"This Night Ember is also unlucky; someone from a neighboring main city ran over to poach his CP just while he was exploring a secret realm!"

"Night Ember and Death Waltz are worlds apart; there's simply no comparison between the two."

"The Year of Death is approaching. If Rule the World can cling to the Black Phoenix Guild, they might even gain some benefits during the Year of Death..."

Ning Fengya felt the burning intensity deep in Death Waltz's eyes, and she unconsciously narrowed her own.

"Please respect yourself!"

Death Waltz was different from Zhao Yunsou; Ning Fengya's attitude could deter Zhao Yunsou, but it couldn't scare Death Waltz.

In Death Waltz's view, her coldness was just Ning Fengya's little quirk.

Not only did he not reject it, he quite liked it!

Ordinary women were tasteless to Death Waltz; he preferred things that were challenging.

Whether it was combat or women!

"Everyone appreciates beauty!"

"Ember Eyes, neither you nor I have a CP. What's wrong with getting to know each other better?"

Death Waltz openly stated his intentions, and the surrounding onlookers were quite surprised by his words.

A chilling aura surged around Ning Fengya, indicating that she was clearly angered.

"I don't need a CP."

"You should drop that idea as soon as possible!"

Death Waltz was publicly rejected by Ning Fengya, but he didn't get angry, as this was all within his expectations.

If Ning Fengya were so easy to get, he wouldn't have had to wait until now.

During the previous meeting of The Twelve Constellations, Death Waltz frequently expressed his feelings to Ning Fengya, both overtly and subtly, but without exception, he was rejected.

(The Twelve Constellations is a very loose organization, aiming to gather top-tier genius players to conquer dungeon secret realm records. The selection of members only considers talent and strength, without many other requirements.)

Ning Fengya's frequent rejections not only didn't make Death Waltz retreat but instead ignited his desire for conquest... "I like aloof women. I will always be patient with you."

"If you ever change your mind, you can come find me anytime!"

Death Waltz gave Ning Fengya a deep look, then turned his gaze to Yuan Shu not far away.

Facing Yuan Shu, Death Waltz's attitude softened slightly.

"Yuan Shu, long time no see!"

Yuan Shu glanced at Death Waltz indifferently.

"Something wrong?"

Death Waltz walked over to Yuan Shu and said, "The Year of Death is approaching. Is Three Kingdoms interested in forming an alliance with Black Phoenix City?"

"You help me conquer other main cities, and I'll take down Yunlong City and give it to you!"

Death Waltz's tone was exceptionally arrogant; his words implied he didn't even put Yunlong City in his eyes.

His offer was tempting, but Yuan Shu rejected it without a second thought.

"Life and death are determined by fate; Three Kingdoms doesn't need allies!"

Yuan Shu's attitude was even more decisive than Ning Fengya's.

Death Waltz's eyes flickered, and a deep gloom appeared between his brows.

"Yunlong City is truly a magical place."

"I like it very much!"

Death Waltz exuded an aura of unapproachable authority, and the hidden meaning in his words made the nearby players' expressions change... According to players from Black Phoenix City, Death Waltz has always been a selfish, cold-blooded, and violent person at heart.

When he uttered the word "like," it already showed his attitude and determination!

What Death Waltz desired, he ultimately obtained.

The Year of Death is coming soon, and Death Waltz saying he "likes Yunlong City"—the meaning behind this is self-evident... Having gained nothing from his visit today, Death Waltz was a bit bored and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he turned his gaze towards the entrance of the Supreme Secret Realm.

"I was so busy talking to the beauty just now that I forgot to ask, what are you all gathered here for?"

"Could it be that you still haven't given up and want to try your luck with the Supreme Secret Realm?"

Death Waltz finished his question, but no one around responded.

Death Waltz turned to a high-ranking Dragon Slaying Alliance player beside him, "You tell me, what are you all gathered here for?"

No one around dared to provoke Death Waltz.

The high-ranking Dragon Slaying Alliance member, stared at by Death Waltz, trembled uncontrollably, and a thin layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

"Boss, I, we are waiting for the people inside the dungeon to come out!"

When Death Waltz heard this, it was as if he had heard the greatest joke.

"Heh heh."

"Someone is actually overestimating themselves!"

"Yuan Shu, Ember Eyes, you two aren't waiting for the people inside to come out too, are you?"

"Don't dream, it's impossible!"
