Chapter 65: Luring the Troublemaker Eastward

Outside the Monster Village dungeon barrier in Ping’an Town.

Nearly ten thousand players crowded into this remote small town.

Previously, the terrifying difficulty of the Monster Village dungeon made most ordinary players give up temporarily, planning to return once they reached a higher level.

But the opening of the level 20 dungeon stirred a sense of crisis among them.

If they waited any longer, those top players would only get stronger while they remained stagnant.

The Monster Village dungeon strategy had already been released, and anyone with a bit of strength could basically clear it now.

Chen Xiaoyan led Chongchong out of the teleport point, and looking at the massive crowd before her, she clicked her tongue in surprise.

“So many people?”

Outside the dungeon barrier, players were packed tightly, making it difficult just to squeeze in and start the dungeon.

“Xiaoyan big shot, we’re here!”

“Wow, so many people!”

The teleport point flickered with light as dozens of members from the Xueyan Guild—like Hongchen Rumeng, Rumeng, and Xianyun—arrived as well.

“Rumeng, you’re level 19 now? Pretty fast,” Chen Xiaoyan smiled.

“Just got lucky farming a lot of wild monsters in Jinyang County.”

“Good luck. They’re all higher level than Chongchong now.”

Chongchong heard this and frowned, clearly dissatisfied but unable to argue, so just snorted softly.

“Big sis, please take care of me.”

“No need to call me big sis, just call me Sister Xiaoyan like everyone else.”

Chen Xiaoyan smiled as she appraised the girl with the ID Xianyun standing before her.

This girl was also a member of the Xueyan Guild.

That morning, at the temporary clinic in Jinyang County, Chen Xiaoyan had a good impression of her.

With the average player level at only 10, Xianyun had managed to reach 15, showing she was a female player who liked to improve her strength.

As for appearance, she was a bit less striking than Chongchong but pleasant to look at, the girl-next-door type who grew more beautiful the longer you looked.

“Alright, Sister Xiaoyan,” Xianyun smiled faintly and nodded.

With Xianyun in the team, they now had three healers, meaning Chen Xiaoyan didn’t really have to join; the two of them could handle it.

But that would be a waste of time.

“Another one,” Chongchong bit her lip slightly, looking at Xianyun with a rising sense of irritation.

“I’m Chongchong, Sister Xiaoyan’s best partner.”

“Hello, Chongchong,” Xianyun looked over with a faint smile.

But the next moment, she froze, confused.

Why did Chongchong seem hostile toward her?

Had she offended her before?

Xianyun recalled for a moment but found no clue in her memory.

“All right, get ready, let’s rush the dungeon quickly.”

Chen Xiaoyan glanced at the Xueyan Guild players present and casually pulled six of them into the team.

“Captain, how do we get in? There are just too many people,” Hongchen Rumeng spread her hands helplessly.

Nearly ten thousand players were packed into one place, especially in front of the dungeon barrier, forming a dense blockade.

If they wanted to get through to open the dungeon, they had to squeeze past.

Here’s the problem: most of the team were girls, and squeezing through meant certain disadvantages (key point).

If they didn’t squeeze, they couldn’t enter the dungeon.

Really troublesome.

They had to think of a way to lure some people away.

“Sister Xiaoyan, I’ll squeeze through. I’m a guy; it’ll be easier,” said a male player from Mount Shu in the team.

Chen Xiaoyan shook her head; she had an idea.

“Everyone, come over here.”

She gathered all the Xueyan Guild players and gave a command.

“Go shout loudly.”

“Okay, leave it to us. Isn’t this just ‘luring the troublemaker eastward’? Mission guaranteed.”

Chen Xiaoyan made an “OK” gesture and pulled Chongchong aside.

Their IDs were too famous; they had to stay hidden.

Hongchen Rumeng, Xianyun, and the other teammates also hid away.

Dozens of Xueyan Guild players ran to the crowd and shouted at the top of their lungs.

“Attention, attention! Wushuang Tower is offering free dungeon carries! Gather at the teleport point, first come, first served!”

The shout immediately grabbed the players’ attention.

What? Someone was offering free dungeon carries?

This was like presenting a steaming bowl of rice to starving people—who could resist?

“Is it true?”

“How would I know? Let’s go see.”

Truth or lie, they’d find out soon enough.

Besides, it didn’t cost them anything.

In an instant, over a thousand players followed them.

At last, an entrance cleared outside the barrier—no need to squeeze anymore.

“Let’s go.”

Chen Xiaoyan waved her hand, and the group hurried inside, entering the barrier.

Seeing the plan succeed, the Xueyan Guild players immediately took the opportunity to rush inside and secure positions.

A thousand players stood at the teleport point, looking at each other in confusion.

Where was the promised carry?

Where were those people?

“Damn, where’s Wushuang Tower?”

“I just saw them a moment ago. How did they disappear so suddenly?”

“Damn it, I knew it was a scam. How could those guilds be so kind as to carry random players for free?”

“Where are they?”

A sharp-eyed player spotted the Xueyan Guild players and immediately pointed outside the barrier.

The thousand players looked in that direction and instantly became furious.

“Ugh, Wushuang Tower, have you no shame? You tricked us out here just to take positions?”

“Is this fun for you? Do you really think this is fun?”

“Come out! I know you’re in there. If you’re good at scamming, be good at coming out too!”

“Snow Auntie is in tears.”

The dozens of Xueyan Guild players said nothing, as if they hadn’t heard.

You want Wushuang Tower?

That’s got nothing to do with us Xueyan Guild.

Ridiculous.

“What’s going on? Why do I hear people cursing Wushuang Tower?”

Over a dozen Wushuang Tower players came out from the teleport point, confused by the shouting around them.

“Hey, hey, why are you cursing Wushuang Tower?”

One of the Wushuang Tower players went up and grabbed a player who was shouting curses, asking.

The player initially froze, then shouted loudly, “There are Wushuang Tower members here!”

At those words, a thousand angry gazes immediately turned toward them.

The Wushuang Tower players were shocked and quickly realized they were surrounded by a thousand players.

“Are you from Wushuang Tower?”

“What’s the problem?” the dozen or so players innocently retorted.

“The problem’s huge—death.”

At that moment, they watched countless skills flying toward them and were stunned.

One second later, the dozen Wushuang Tower players happily returned to their sect.

“We killed Wushuang Tower’s people. Will that be a problem?”

“What’s there to fear? They don’t even know who did it. Even if they did, we have a thousand people here. Who’s afraid of Wushuang Tower?”

“Exactly, let’s go back and block those scammers.”

Some were scared, fearing Wushuang Tower’s retaliation.

Others didn’t care; with their numbers, what was there to fear?

At the capital city, Shen Ce Mansion sect headquarters.

Tianxia Wushuang and Wudi Tang were discussing what price to offer to win over Chen Xiaoyan.

Suddenly, Wudi Tang stood up, shock flashing across his face.

“What’s wrong?” Tianxia Wushuang asked in confusion.

“Over a dozen guild members were killed.”

Tianxia Wushuang furrowed his brow but didn’t overreact, simply asking, “Xueyan Guild?”

“No, it was random players.”

Hearing this, he was stunned speechless.
