"The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze is about to enter the Holy Realm?"
"Yes!"
Bing Tea nodded. His eyes were filled with anger as he said, "I have insider information. This morning, Dawn Wind and Waning Moon received a mission from the Holy Domain. They were just there to help Blood Drinking the World, that's all. Now they've gone to complete the mission. You decide whether or not Xue Yue wants to take action."
"Ruin his ascension quest?"
"Of course!"
I asked, "Who's going?"
Bing Cha shook his head. "Not me, of course. I can't beat them, and there are so many of them."
I thought for a moment. "It's not a good idea for me to show up. You can send your people!"
"My people?"
"Yes, the Holy Realm Level 171 one..."
Bing Cha couldn't help but laugh. "Oh man, you saw it?"
"Of course..."

… …
That's right, there were no other changes except for the addition of a Holy Domain player, Brave Heart!
It wasn't the right time for Snow Moon to shed all pretenses of cordiality with Thousand Years of Achievements. If I were to go there myself, it would be equivalent to pushing Snow Moon to the frontlines without any hesitation. However, it was different if I were to send someone else. Besides, this person also possessed the same strength, and this person was undoubtedly the Sanctuary-level Dragon Knight, Braveheart.
At this moment, Brave Heart had already donned the China uniform and became one of us. Moreover, he was a member of Vanilla and Ice, which was the same as Snow Moon!
Bing Cha sighed. "Alright, I'll talk to Annie!"
"En!"
After a few minutes of silence, Bing Cha raised his head and said, "Annie agreed, but on one condition!"
"What condition?"
Bing Cha said, "Annie also thinks that The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze is not to be underestimated. Moreover, he has experts like Nangong Yuexi and Kill Vanquisher with him. That's why Annie wants you to go with her. You will go into stealth, and Annie will be the main attacker. You just need to seize the last opportunity to kill the quest boss."
"Then you have to let her cover me."
"No problem. Add her as a friend and talk to her personally. Annie is very obedient, hehe ~ ~"
Speechless, I had no choice but to search for Brave Heart's name and add him as a friend. I didn't expect it to be accepted so quickly.
Brave Heart immediately turned on the communicator and said, "The quest coordinates are inside Shadow Moon Canyon. Quickly sneak there and report the situation to me. I'll be flying high in the sky, and I'll go down when the opportunity arises. Scholar, this is our first time working together. I hope it doesn't fail!"
"Okay!"
I immediately added Brave Heart into the party. There were only the two of us in the party, so it would be easier for us to communicate with each other.
Brave Heart suddenly smiled and said, "This is the first time I'm working with you, so I'm a little nervous …"
I said, "Calm down. Bring out the aura you had when you ambushed me in the Mausoleum of General. You have a huge advantage right now. You have top-notch equipment, and you're riding a Two-headed Darkness Dragon. You can even condense a cyclone. There's no reason for you to lose to those people."
"Yeah!"
I spurred my horse out of White Cloud City and entered Shadow Meld. Shadow Moon Canyon wasn't too far away. It was less than an hour's journey. On the world map, Brave Heart's orange dot was already moving quickly. I estimated that he would reach the clouds above Shadow Moon Canyon in less than half an hour. With the cover of the clouds, I wouldn't be discovered at all. Also, the people from The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze wouldn't be able to predict Brave Heart's ambush.
Bing Cha originally wanted to come with me. He said he wanted to ride the Blaze Warhorse with me, but I refused. I was going to use Shadow Meld, so who knew if I could hide Bing Cha!
What if Bing Cha revealed a leg while I was hiding in front of The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze? Wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?!
… …
It wasn't long before a group of people appeared in front of me. It was none other than Thousand Autumns Koizumi's group. There were 19 people in total. The leader of The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze was Wolf Kill, Clear Sky Break, Nangong Yuexi, Xuan Paper Yellowed, and other experts. The rest of the players were already Level 255, and even the weakest among them had the Godslayer set. It was clear that Thousand Autumns Koizumi's determination to nurture talents. The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze and his people must have brought many people to run dungeons before.
I snuck up to them using my advantage of Stealth.
However, something unexpected happened. Nangong Yuexi suddenly stopped her horse, drew her bow, and fired a Quick Illumination Arrow at the sky!
Swhoosh!
Shocked, I hurriedly turned my horse around and rolled into the forest!
That was close. I was almost discovered!
Could it be that Nangong Lexi has detected my presence?
This mounted archer isn't simple!
The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze pressed down on his sword and turned around. He asked, "What's wrong, Lexi?
Are we being followed? "
Nangong Yuexi shook her head and smiled. "No, it's just a routine. I'm used to using Light Arrow every two minutes. Otherwise, it would be a waste to leave my skill on cooldown."
Wolf Kill laughed loudly. "They say that women are meticulous, and it looks like it's true!
Beauty Lexi's cautiousness will stop any assassin who tries to ambush us, hehe! "
The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze snorted. "Assassin?
I've never placed these sneaky professions in my eyes. If there's an assassin who wants to kill me, then I welcome it. If a thousand of them come, a thousand of them will die!
Even if Melancholy of the Snow Moon comes, I will make him bleed on the spot. "
Wolf Kill laughed. "Is that so?
But The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze, your master, Fire, was one of the top assassins. He was known as one of the top two assassins in China along with Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing. "
The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze didn't know what to say. He snorted and said, "Cut the crap. Come with me to kill the boss. An Epic Rank boss should be easy to deal with. Lexi, pay attention to the aggro. I'll tank. Priest, heal. Xuan Paper, you'll be the main attacker. A mage's magic attacks deal a lot of damage to heavy-armored monsters."
"Understood!"
The few of them nodded in unison.
Meanwhile, I trailed behind them through the dense forest. I didn't dare to follow them out in the open anymore. It would be troublesome if Nangong Lexi detected my presence. Dawn Wind and Waning Moon were enough to force me to fight with all my might, but if a few more Kill Vanquished Wolves joined the fray, I would have no choice but to suffer a crushing defeat.
The few of them weren't idle and chatted as they walked.
Xuan Paper smiled. "The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze, I heard that you've moved into our studio in Shanghai?"
"Yes, when did you come?"
"I'm studying in Fujian. I can't go there."
Xuan Paper smiled and said, "Then you must have seen our beauty Nangong Yuexi?"
The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze laughed. "Yes!
Lexi had dinner with us today. Boss hired two top-notch chefs. Heh! "
Wolf Kill shook his head. "What's the use of just having chefs? It would be perfect if we could hire a few top maids."
Wolf Kill was a wretched middle-aged man. He was basically the same as Blood Drinker the World.
Sky Clear Cloud sneered. "If you want women, go find them yourself. Don't dirty the studio's floor."
"Cloud Break, are you trying to pick a fight?"
Wolf Kill laughed coldly. "All men like women. I was just saying it casually. Why are you acting so serious? You dare say you don't like Nangong Yuexi?
Otherwise, would you join Thousand Year Achievement's studio with her? "
Sky Clear Cloud Break stilled. Nangong Yuexi pretended not to hear and rode her horse not too far away from the group.
Wolf Kill grinned and said, "Let me tell you, don't think that the studio is as pure as high school boys and girls. Don't you know what kind of person our boss Blood Drinker the World is?
Why did he become enemies with Seven-star Lamp?
It's because he slept with Seven-star Lamp's girlfriend. Hmph, Nangong Yuexi is such a beautiful girl. Do you think she can escape from Boss? "
Sky Clear Cloud Break was stunned. He gritted his teeth and said, "Bullsh * t!
I'll protect Lexi … "
The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze couldn't stand it anymore. He scolded, "Stop gossiping!
Wolf Kill, watch your mouth. What did Boss do to you? Why do you have to slander him behind his back? What good does this do to us and Thousand Year Achievement?
Since we're in Thousand Year Achievement, we should have faith in Boss. I believe in him! "
When the number one expert of The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze spoke, Wolf Kill glared and didn't say anything. Sky Clear Cloud Break frowned and looked at Nangong Yuexi with worry.
The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze saw this and smiled coldly. "Sky Clear Cloud Break, don't worry. Boss isn't that kind of person. Lexi lives less than a hundred meters away from us. No one will dare to touch Lexi under our eyes. At least, I won't agree!"
Sky Clear Cloud Break nodded.
Yellow Xuan Paper frowned but didn't say anything.
I sighed inwardly. The Thousand Year Achievement seemed strong, but there were hidden undercurrents. The biggest problem was probably the problem of unity. Moreover, Blood Drinker the World's good karma was also a problem. He was the type of person who would do anything as long as there was a girl available. If there was a chance, he would do it. If there wasn't a chance, he would create one. So, the trouble that he caused could only be borne by himself.
… …
Not long after, the top party of Thousand Year Achievement entered Shadow Moon Canyon. Outside the canyon, Nangong Yuexi looked back cautiously. She drew her bow and fired another Illumination Arrow at the sky. Then, she turned around and entered the canyon.
I followed behind her. After I entered, I spurred my horse and galloped away. I watched the enemy's every move from afar.
In the party channel, Brave Heart said with a smile, "They're finally here. Watch carefully. When the boss's HP drops to a quarter or so, report its coordinates to me. I'll attack these people and do my best to lure them away. You'll be in charge of taking care of the boss!"
"Mn. Be careful. If you can't beat them, use your invincibility skill. I'll tear down all pretenses and fight them."
Brave Heart giggled. "Got it. I'll be fine. You be careful too."
At this time, The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze raised his Thunder Rend Blade and shouted, "Brothers, the boss is right in front of us. Warriors, prepare to Charge with me. Let's stun it for a while before we talk!"
Pushing aside the leaves, I saw a huge stone puppet boss in front of us. It was about 8 meters tall, and its body was covered in thick rocks. Its eyes were pitch black, and it let out angry roars from time to time.
The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze was the first to attack. He shouted, "Charge!"
Buffed by Wind Breaker, The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze shot forward like a bolt of lightning and stunned the boss in one hit. Then, he yelled and used Soul Breaker Slash, dealing over 300,000 damage to the boss. This guy's attack power was amazing. In fact, it wasn't much weaker than mine. His Saint-grade armor was just too powerful. If he entered the Holy Domain in this state, his growth star would probably be on par with mine.
Nangong Yuexi didn't get close to the boss. Instead, she let out a soft cry from afar and fired a Tractor Arrow at the boss, continuously reducing its HP. This skill was very similar to Chrysanthemum Daohana's Soul Chains, except that the damage reduction was much weaker.
Thousand Autumns Achievement and the other experts all used Charge and slashed at the boss. This Epic Rank boss's HP was dropping like crazy. No wonder these people were able to equip an S2 set. The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze's Defense wasn't bad, and his sudden assault could stun an opponent for 3 seconds. His attack power was even stronger than my Shield Bash.
In less than five minutes, the boss's HP had dropped below half.
I immediately shouted, "Annie, come down! You can attack now!"
"Okay!"
Brave Heart rushed down, and the twin-headed Black Dragon let out a sharp roar that shook the entire valley!
… …
"What?
What's that?! "
The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze abruptly looked up and shouted, "Everyone, watch out! Someone's ambushing us!
Fuck, it can't be her, can it? "
Killing Wolf shouted, "Who is it?"
The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze didn't say anything, but his eyes were filled with shock.
The result did not disappoint Elder Dawn Wind and Waning Moon. Soon, a huge shadow broke through the clouds. It was the Twin-headed Shadow Dragon. On the back of the Shadow Dragon, a heavily-armored beauty descended with a longsword in her hand. It was Brave Heart!
… …
"Fuck!
It's Brave Heart! "
Sky Clear Cloud was shocked and hurriedly retreated. At the same time, he pulled back his bowstring and shouted, "Lexi, be careful! Use Storm Arrow to stop her!"
Storm Arrow was the Magic Archer's ultimate skill. It was an enhanced version of Stun Arrow. Not only could it stun the target for 5 seconds, it could also deal a lot of damage to the target.
The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze shouted, "Main force, follow me to defend Brave Heart. The rest of you, continue to kill the boss!
Don't let the boss be killed by someone else, or the quest will be over! "
The wind whistled. The Dark Female Dragonrider had already arrived. She released a low grunt, and her entire body surged with a dark red flame. Streaks of red energy swirled around her body, and the longsword released a resplendent sword radiance. A world-shaking sword swept out!
