Taking advantage of the offline gathering of Xueyan Pavilion, Wushuang Pavilion had recruited a wave of players the day before yesterday to expand their guild’s numbers.
At the same time, they offered high-salary benefits, which received unanimous praise from many solo players.
No matter how these big shots fought among themselves, the solo players wouldn’t lose anything. They only needed to put in a little effort to receive a handsome salary, so why not?
Therefore, they hoped these big shots would fight as fiercely as possible. The more they fought, the more benefits the solo players would receive.

World Channel
“Look! The winds change and the clouds surge as dragons and tigers fight. This game has finally followed the same old path as traditional online games. How tragic! How pitiful!”
“Isn’t this normal? Wherever there are people, there is a martial world. However, I heard that the fuse for this incident was lit by Wushuang Pavilion first. They had no martial honor and launched a sneak attack.”
“Good news, good news! Wushuang Pavilion is recruiting!!! Those bastards at Xueyan Pavilion are being unreasonable and insist on driving us to our deaths. The big family of Wushuang Pavilion needs you. Our guild has many benefits, handsome guys, and beautiful women. What are you still hesitating for? Click the avatar and send a private message now. By the way, to that fellow seeker above—everything needs evidence. Do not spread rumors.”
“Haha, why does Wushuang Pavilion’s recruitment message feel like a cheap street advertisement?”
“Laughing my head off. We’re the unreasonable ones? Weren’t you blockheads the ones who ambushed us in Ping’an Town?”
“We were following the great Boss Xiaoyan to clear a dungeon that day. We didn’t bring many people to begin with, which is why you were able to play dirty. But even so, with four hundred people fighting two hundred, your losses were almost one-to-one. You Wushuang Pavilion dogs are pathetic.”
“Holy crap, as a popcorn eater, I’m calling you pros.”
“Selling small stools, melon seeds, peanuts, and mineral water! Affordable prices, limited quantity, first come first served!”
“Xueyan Pavilion’s * are so good at spreading rumors and slandering people. You must be something else in real life, huh?”
“Oh please, just because Xueyan Pavilion has Chen Xiaoyan, they think they’re so great. They bully whoever they see and don’t even let others run dungeons. I want to ask, since when did dungeons belong to Xueyan Pavilion?”
“Huh? Not letting people run dungeons? What are you dogs hallucinating now? Can you be realistic and speak like human beings?”
“Fine, I’ll be clear. Outside the Monster Village dungeon in Ping’an Town, a brother in our guild named Shiqing Huayi was blocked by your Yutian and Zhenwu Junior Sister. They even shouted for the people of Wushuang Pavilion to get lost, didn’t they?”
This sentence enraged the Xueyan Pavilion members who had experienced the guild war in Ping’an Town.
They all stopped what they were doing and began hammering away at their keyboards.
In an instant, all sorts of unsightly “civilized language” occupied the entire World Channel.
“You Wushuang Pavilion bastards are really good at turning black into white, aren’t you? Whoever said ‘get lost’ first can go bury their parents.”
“I was there when the fight happened in Ping’an Town. It was clearly your Shiqing Huayi who told us to crawl away. Since when did it become us telling you to get lost? Wushuang Pavilion, have some dignity, seriously!” — A message from a Tianxiang player of Xueyan Pavilion.
The popcorn-eating crowd on the World Channel was very satisfied with today’s gossip. It was fragrant, sweet, and exceptionally comfortable to consume.
However, the bystanders couldn’t distinguish which of the two guilds was telling the truth. Or perhaps, neither of them was.
But did the bystanders care about the truth? No, they only cared if the gossip was juicy and sweet. What did the truth have to do with solo players?
For a time, the World Channel was filled with people from Wushuang Pavilion and Xueyan Pavilion. Players from both sides engaged in a frenzied war of words.
Neither Tianxia Wushuang nor Mu Qingxue stopped their guild members from arguing on the World Channel.
War was about to break out anyway. If they got angry enough from the insults, they would probably charge forward with a roar during the fight without needing any commands.
This effect suited their intentions perfectly, so why would they stop it?
“Xiaoyan is online.”
Looking at an avatar ID lighting up in her friend list, Mu Qingxue smiled happily.
Mu Qingxue: You’re online?
On the other side, at Tianxin Mountain.
As soon as Chen Xiaoyan stepped out of the square, a private message notification popped up in front of her.
Chen Xiaoyan: Yeah.
Mu Qingxue: When the fight happened in Ping’an Town, was it Wushuang Pavilion who provoked us first?
Chen Xiaoyan: I don’t know. By the time I arrived, they were already fighting.
Chen Xiaoyan: Qingxue, why are you asking this?
Mu Qingxue: I saw the World Channel was arguing fiercely, so I was a bit curious.
The World Channel?
Seeing this, Chen Xiaoyan hastily opened the World Channel interface.
The dense barrage of messages, scrolling at a rate of ten per second, left her stunned.
Chen Xiaoyan: Is it really okay to let them keep arguing like this? It’ll make others laugh at us.
Mu Qingxue: I know, but Xiaoyan, fighting requires a bit of fire. With anger, they’ll strike harder.
Chen Xiaoyan: Are you planning to beat Wushuang Pavilion to death?
Mu Qingxue: Yes, I want a decisive victory to break the people of Wushuang Pavilion completely.
Although dying in the game allowed for resurrection, the penalty was losing one level.
Currently, the average level of players in the Immortal Realm was almost at level twenty. After reaching level twenty, the experience points required for each level increased exponentially.
If someone dropped a level, it would take a lot of time to grind it back.
Mu Qingxue didn’t plan for this to be a one-off guild war. she wouldn’t give Wushuang Pavilion a chance to rise again.
Humph, I’ll grind their overall level down to below twenty and completely blockade the dungeons. I want to see what capital Tianxia Wushuang will have to make a comeback then.
Chen Xiaoyan: Got it, got it. Then when do you plan to declare war on Wushuang Pavilion?
Mu Qingxue: Today or tomorrow.
Chen Xiaoyan: What do you need me to do?
Mu Qingxue: Nothing. With me here, you don’t need to do anything.
Mu Qingxue: By the way, are those Tianxiang players willing to come and help?
Chen Xiaoyan: I haven’t asked for the time being, but it shouldn’t be a problem.
Mu Qingxue: That’s good.
Mu Qingxue: During the fight, pay more attention to the people from Shenzhou. On the day of our gathering, Tianxia Wushuang was in contact with Zhen Bu Yao Jian.
Chen Xiaoyan: This… Instead of being on guard in the shadows, why don’t you just kick Shenzhou out of the alliance? Jiange isn’t weak either. Our alliance can beat Wushuang Pavilion. Besides, isn’t there still me?
Mu Qingxue: It’s just a suspicion. I don’t have real evidence to prove that Zhen Bu Yao Jian has already allied with Wushuang Pavilion. Kicking them out rashly might invite criticism. Also, Xiaoyan, there’s still no news from the Hall of Reincarnation.
Mu Qingxue: I sent several spies to the Hall of Reincarnation, but none of them managed to join. Not a single one.
Aside from the Three Snows, only I know the identities of the spies. How did they find out?
The mystery of the Hall of Reincarnation put immense pressure on Mu Qingxue.
Whether it was Wushuang Pavilion or Jiange, she had secretly planted spies in them, and there were basically no failed cases.
But with the Hall of Reincarnation, Mu Qingxue had failed.
When several spies were rejected at the same time with the reason “you are not suitable for this guild,” anyone would realize that the spies had been exposed.
What puzzled Mu Qingxue was how the recruiters of the Hall of Reincarnation discovered they were spies.
Was there someone from the Hall of Reincarnation inside her own guild?
But the spies weren’t members of her guild, and only she and the Three Snows knew their IDs. Even if there was someone inside the guild, they couldn’t possibly know, could they?
Mu Qingxue wracked her brain but couldn’t come up with an answer.
