"Do you … do you have a split personality?"
Half a minute later, Lin Yixin's face was completely red. She finally managed to force out a sentence.
I nearly vomited blood. I rolled to my feet and lifted my cloak to shield her from the rain. Then, I flashed the Disguise Master Ring and said, "See, it's because of this ring. If I didn't hide my identity, I wouldn't have had the chance to talk to Assassin Creed. That bastard ran away the moment he saw me.
Other book friends can read it normally. "
"What was the result?"
"We practically killed Assassin's Creed, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Unfortunately, Warsky's Longevity Saber dropped once, but Farewell Song managed to snatch it back. Thankfully, I managed to get my hands on the Dragonbone Whip. This operation can be considered a success. Fans of the book love to read the Dragonbone Whip."
I took out the Dragonbone Whip from my bag and chuckled.
Lin Yixin blinked her bright eyes and said, "We met by chance, and he said he would give you a few million as payment for the Dragonbone Whip. Are you going to take it?"
I shook my head. "There are some things I shouldn't do. I won't take this kind of money."
"Mn, that's right!"
… …
I rose to my feet and saw Xinran riding slowly on her donkey in the heavy rain.
I immediately switched back to the Fruit Knife Guard captain and reined in my donkey. I asked, "Xinran, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, big bro …"
Lin Yixin looked at my name and teased me. "Not a bad name ~ ~"
I clenched my fists. "Of course!"
It was at this moment a group of players charged toward us from the southeast. It was none other than Gui Guzi, the commander of hundreds of Dragonlight Cavalrymen. He swung his Ghostblade Halberd through the air like a whirlwind and knocked five Blood Alliance assassins to the ground. Most of their HP was gone, and the Dragonlight Cavalrymen behind them swiftly cut them into mincemeat.
Gui Guzi rode his horse over and looked at us in surprise. "Eh?
Beauty Lin is here too?
Oh, and this brat … "
Gui Guzi's expression turned cold as he said, "Beauty Lin, do you know that our Boss Broken Halberd likes you a lot?
We are also very clear about the relationship between the two of you, but this is the wilderness of a mountain village. What is the relationship between you and such a man here? "
Lin Yixin pursed her red lips and pretended to be shy. "What kind of relationship? You know …"
Gui Guzi was furious. He pointed his Ghostblade Halberd at Lin Yixin and said, "How dare you do this behind Lu Chen's back after what he did to you! Pooh!
Today, I'll take care of this guy on behalf of Boss Broken Halberd. Everyone else, just watch as normal:! "
Lin Yixin raised the Dragon Frost horizontally, and a smile appeared on her face. "Yo, do you think you're invincible just because you've obtained the twelve Divine Tools?
Come on, it's been a long time since I've taught you a lesson. Today, I'll teach you a lesson … "
Seeing that the two of them were about to attack, how could I not stop them? I immediately pulled out Cold of the Nine States and released its light. I growled at Gui Guzi, "Little Gui, don't be impulsive. Look who I am!"
Gui Guzi rubbed his eyes and looked at me, then at Xinran. Realization finally dawned on him. "Haha, boss Broken Halberd, why are you … why are you dressed like a bumpkin …"
The corner of my mouth twitched a little. "It's nothing … I'm just changing my attire to torture Blood Alliance. It's boring to watch them run away the moment they see me. By the way, what's the situation over there?"
Gui Guzi replied, "We've killed over 40k Blood Alliance assassins, but there are still a lot of them who slipped through the net. We don't have enough Dragonlight Archers, and a dozen or so small to medium guilds have come to White Ear County. They're clamoring to expel us from Purple Grape City. Sister Eve told me to ask you if we're going to fight them or not."
Lin Yixin replied expressionlessly, "It's Swallow Ear County, not White Ear County …"
I felt deeply embarrassed. "Ahem, let's not worry about the details. Little Gui, send a message to Eve and Chengfeng and tell them to work with Blazing Hot Lips, The Monarch Descends, and other guilds to kill these hundreds of thousands of players from the White Ear Commandery … ah, I mean the Swallow Ear Commandery. My Xinran needs to recover from the injury on her legs, so she needs a large amount of rebirth energy. Once we're done, all of you should retreat immediately. I want to absorb their rebirth energy when they revive.
"None/Pop-Up Window/Full Text Message."
Gui Guzi nodded. "Okay, no problem. I'll take my men and kill them right away!"
"Mn. Fans also like to read:!"
… …
Gui Guzi turned around and saw a group of female players rushing towards him in the rain. At the very front was Zhou Ping. Silent Bear and the other girls were also there. The twelve musicians had also entered the territory of Purple Grape City.
To avoid trouble, I switched back to my original identity. Clad in high-grade equipment, I walked up to Lin Yixin with Coldness of the Nine States in my hand and said, "It's the middle of the night. The Twelve Musicians have the time to visit Purple Grape City?"
Zhou Ping's expression didn't look too good. "Lu Chen, the Dragon Bone Whip you sold me was dropped by Blood Alliance. You should know about this, right? Don't make fun of me …"
I took out the shiny Dragon Bone Whip from my bag and passed it to her. "Is this the whip?
It just so happened to drop when I was killing Assassin Creed … "
"Ah?!"
Zhou Ping's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. "You … you dropped the Dragon Bone Whip?"
I nodded. "Mn. It's not hard to get a Divine Armament to drop within 72 hours."
Zhou Ping immediately accepted the Dragon Bone Whip and lowered it. She was dressed in leather armor and a cape, and she looked just like a queen. She looked at me and said sincerely, "I promised that I would reward anyone who takes back my Dragon Bone Whip. Lu Chen, I'll transfer the money to your account immediately …"
"Don't!"
I hurriedly opened my arms and said, "Earning 8 million RMB from the auction house is already a lot, and I can't possibly earn more from you. I'll help you retrieve the Dragon Bone Whip as a form of after-sales service, but only this once. Bring more eighth-promotion archers and knights with you when you go out in the future. With more than 10 archers, assassins won't be able to steal the Dragon Bone Whip from you …"
Zhou Ping pursed her lips. "Thank you, Lu Chen!"
I laughed. "It's fine. Everyone else can read it as normal."
… …
Hugging Bear Silent said, "Although we've retrieved the Dragon Bone Whip, Blood Alliance's players are still ambushing the top experts of the top guilds in Sky City. Many Top 100 players in the arena have been killed multiple times and lost a lot of levels. It's safe to say that the first-rate experts of Sky City are being suppressed very badly. Don't you think it's strange?"
I nodded. "It's strange. Ever since Dragon God Cave, the Top 10 players like us have been targeted. Even Gui Guzi and Li Chengfeng have been included in the list of targets. Killing us doesn't benefit Blood Alliance at all, so someone must be paying us to do so. It's just that this person has yet to surface …"
Hugging Bear Silent pouted. "But how are we supposed to drag this person out?"
At the side, Little Chili Pepper giggled and brushed the cloak covering her forehead. Her long eyelashes were wet with raindrops as she smiled sweetly. "It's simple. This person is suppressing the players of the top guilds, so it's obvious that he's suppressing them to give himself a chance to grow. We just need to check if there are any top guilds in Sky City who haven't been ambushed by Blood Alliance before …"
Gui Guzi's eyes lit up as he said, "I can help you with this. Chaos Moon just sent me a chart of the players who have been attacked in Sky City. Give me three minutes and I'll filter through it. I'll be able to find out the truth in no time!"
"Mn!"
A few minutes later, Gui Guzi raised his head and said, "Of the Top 100 guilds in Sky City, 7 of them have never been ambushed by Blood Alliance at all. They are Hegemon Palace, Mad Dragon, Kunlun Mountain, Spirit Clouds, Xuanyuan Pavilion, War God Arena, and World. Among them, Hegemon Palace and Mad Dragon are ranked in the Top 20, and the other five are ranked 92nd, 94th, 96th, 97th, and 98th respectively.
I smiled. "So the truth is out. It's Hegemon Palace and Mad Dragon who hired Blood Alliance. I'm afraid that no one in Sky City other than Wang Dongliang and Roaming Dragon can afford to kill me. Killing me costs more than a hundred thousand RMB, and I'm guessing that it's already at least tens of millions of RMB."
Lin Yixin let out a cough before continuing, "Actually, three days ago, Snowy Cathaya's first and third subguilds lost at least a thousand core players to someone else. It was only after I asked around that I learned that every one of them was paid 10k RMB per month, and the one who stole them was none other than Hegemon Palace …"
Gui Guzi gripped his Ghost Blade Halberd and said, "Um, Boss Broken Halberd … Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls has lost at least a thousand players in the last three days as well. They were all elite players from the subguilds, and they were all poached at a high price. Dark Moon City pays more than 50% of our monthly income to our members, but we still can't keep them."
I clenched my fists. "It looks like Wang Dongliang is about to make a big move."
Silent Hug Bear said, "Of course he is. It looks like he's planning to conquer Sky City. Unfortunately, Little Piglet, Shangguan Wan 'er, and Iron Pardon are the only experts in Hegemon Palace and Mad Dragon combined. They pale in comparison to the top players of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Snowy Cathaya."
Lin Yixin asked, "What about Blood Alliance?"
Zhou Ping shuddered. "That's going to be a bit of a pressure …"
… …
I nodded. "Chengfeng, why are you in such a hurry? What's up?"
"It's nothing big …"
Li Chengfeng rubbed his nose and smiled. "Actually, it's just a small matter. I learned that Lu Chao and Roaming Dragon went to Shanghai Shengyi's headquarters half an hour ago to discuss something with Wang Dongliang. Then, according to the cleaning auntie, the two of them burned incense and cooked wine in the CEO's office and became sworn brothers …"
I shuddered. "Fuck …"
