Chen Xiaoyan’s actions were all to toy with and intimidate Mo Nichang.
Even Chong Chong could see it, so naturally the others understood.
But the players didn’t try to stop her; instead, they stood by and waited for the show.
They didn’t know what item the small iron token in Chen Xiaoyan’s hand was, but it seemed this Mo Jiuchi was terrified, so it definitely wasn’t an ordinary item.
A high-level player is indeed a high-level player—they even have top-tier items.
Mo Ruhui and Mo Jiuchi didn’t dare move, especially Mo Jiuchi. He was now extremely afraid that the sect would come after him. Across the entire Datang, unless he joined the Evil Path, there was no place that would shelter him.
Chen Xiaoyan picked up the longsword and immediately dropped her playful expression. With a serious face, she held the sword with both hands and slowly aimed it at Mo Nichang’s neck.
“A life for a life is justified. Mo Nichang, are you ready to go meet them?”
Mo Nichang’s hands were folded on the ground, fingers curling and digging into the earth, her whole body trembling.
She was unwilling, very unwilling. Unwilling that she had to pay with her life for two commoners.
But what could unwillingness do?
Hadn’t she seen that her own father, the prime minister of Datang, didn’t dare step forward to stop her?
Immortal Sect~
Heh, laughable justice and righteousness.
Mo Nichang seemed to have figured it out. She raised her head and quietly looked at the lofty sect disciple before her, revealing a faint smile.
But this smile was filled with mockery.
“You claim to be justice, but don’t you know that you are no different from the me of before? What fairness and justice? It’s just that you have the upper hand over me.”
“Come on.” Mo Nichang closed her eyes, ready to welcome death.
Mo Ruhui saw that this girl didn’t seem to be putting on an act, and immediately panicked. He hurriedly shot a pleading look at Mo Jiuchi beside him.
Mo Jiuchi hesitated repeatedly, then sighed.
“Head of the family—oh no, Brother Hui—after this, my debt of gratitude will be considered repaid.”
“Brother Jiuchi, I…” Mo Ruhui’s face showed bitterness, unable to voice his pain.
Mo Jiuchi, this Grandmaster martial artist, was the Mo Clan’s greatest trump card. With him, they had blocked and intimidated countless assassins from the Military Official Faction.
If he left, the Mo Clan would surely face obstacles everywhere.
But if he didn’t agree, then that girl Shang’er would likely not escape death today.
Family affection, or the family estate?
These two choices kept circling in Mo Ruhui’s mind.
Because Mo Nichang had raised her head, Chen Xiaoyan held the longsword in her right hand and rested it against her neck.
The cold blade touched warm skin, and the former couldn’t help but shiver.
For some reason, those two sisters suddenly disappeared afterward and were never seen again.
As for the rumors on the World Channel, most people in Wushuang Lou were skeptical. After all, the Qi sisters had indeed left somewhat suspiciously, and there was a voice recording as evidence, forcing them to believe.
Clearly they looked like two people in love, yet it ended in tragedy.
Could it be that their public display of affection was all an act?
But thinking carefully, they seemed to have no need or reason to put on an act.
Then why did it come to this?
They couldn’t figure it out, and had no answer in their hearts.
“Hey, Brother Long, look, is that their guild’s main force coming?”
At this moment, the Wushuang Lou members vaguely saw many players rushing down from the mountain mist, heading towards the opposing Healer squad.
Several hundred people at least, and the number was still increasing.
“Damn, they’re heading to the Xueyan Pavilion Healer squad. They must be their people. Brother Long, we only have a little over two hundred. We can’t fight them. Should we retreat? Or call for backup?”
“Hell, just a few hundred? Open your eyes and look again. There’s another group behind them. This has to be at least a thousand.”
“Brother Long, make a decision!”
Over two hundred people, over two hundred pairs of eyes, all looking squarely at Dawei Tianlong, putting immense pressure on him.
Dawei Tianlong opened the private chat interface and sent a private message to Juhua Xin, reporting the current situation.
[Juhua Xin: Stay put, wait for an opportunity to leave the safe zone]
Leave the safe zone?
Dawei Tianlong was utterly baffled.
With so many enemies now, leaving the safe zone would be pure suicide, right?
[Dawei Tianlong: Brother Xin, there’s over a thousand enemies.]
[Juhua Xin: I know. This is what the Guild Leader ordered. Just do as told.]
Know?
Dawei Tianlong was a bit confused.
How could he know?
Was he nearby watching us?
Dawei Tianlong cautiously looked around but found no trace of Juhua Xin.
“Help us deal with Wushuang Lou?”
Hearing the words of the Tang Clan player named Zhenshi Jimo in front of her, Chen Xiaoyan was very surprised.
At first she thought this group was from Shenzhou, but after asking, she learned they were all independent players who said they wanted to help them fight the Wushuang Lou members blocking the road ahead.
Looking out, there were at least a thousand of these independent players. Even if their levels were a bit low, they could still overwhelm the two hundred Wushuang Lou players ahead. Chen Xiaoyan was tempted.
But she hesitated a bit. After all, this surprise came too easily, making her suspicious.
“Yes, big shot. If we succeed, just give me a friend slot.”
Chen Xiaoyan smiled slightly upon hearing this.
So it was to apply for a friend slot. Seeing Zhenshi Jimo’s request, she relaxed.
But that made sense. If it were a scheme by Wushuang Lou, how could they pull in a thousand independent players? If they had that ability, they could just deploy them on the front lines to turn the tide. Why go to all this trouble here?
Some independent players were already flirting with the Heavenly Fragrance players in the Healer squad. Chen Xiaoyan was a bit displeased but didn’t say anything.
“Okay.” She had no more doubts and immediately nodded in agreement. “There’s no harm in using free labor.”
Zhenshi Jimo was overjoyed and quickly asked, “Then what should we do? We’ll follow your lead, big shot.”
“That’s right, Chen… uh, big shot. We promise to obey. Ahem, of course, we can also protect all the young ladies.”
“That’s right. If anyone wants to hurt you, they’ll have to step over our corpses.” Some independent players quickly thumped their chests in assurance, but this angered many Heavenly Fragrance players.
“Hey hey, do you think we Heavenly Fragrance players are just decorative vases?”
“Exactly. Our healing is really strong. And why does this tone sound familiar?”
“Heavenly Fragrance healers OP! I’m Heavenly Fragrance’s dog!”
No idea who was so bold as to shout that in the crowd. The whole scene instantly fell silent.
“Where’s our dog?” A Heavenly Fragrance player replied in a teasing tone.
In an instant, the independent players erupted.
