193: Chapter 193 Sixth Brother Didn't Return to Huaidu?

At this moment, the other five Sun Worshipers also arrived one after another, guarding Peng Lin.

Tang Long looked at them casually and then asked, "That young lady did a great job. I am extremely weak right now; if you all attack together, you have a very good chance of taking me out."

The five of them were eager to try.

But Peng Lin suddenly screamed, "Don't believe him! Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

"Quick!"

The five of them dared not disobey. Two of them immediately helped her up, while the other three guarded the rear with extreme vigilance, and they quickly sped into the dense forest to the south.

Two Saber-toothed Tigers followed after them. Tang Long stood still, secretly feeling lucky in his heart.

In reality, he only had one-third of his HP left.

Although he pretended to be calm, the pain from having his arm torn off just a moment ago had almost made him faint on the spot.

There was no need for those five Sun Worshipers to even make a move; if Peng Lin had been as bold as him, even if she had just fought with her feet for two more moves, he would have had to use his revival.

Fortunately, that woman had been scared out of her wits.

She had basically lost her combat ability, and feeling that none of her subordinates could withstand three or five of his blows, she chose to retreat.

He actually managed to pull off that bluff; can you believe it?

Tang Long breathed a sigh of relief, but the players watching the battle were excited once again.

"Holy crap! The Mysterious Person big shot actually turned defeat into victory!"

"Just now I felt like he would be caught and killed immediately. Who would have thought he'd pull off a counter-kill?"

"Looking at the situation, the Mysterious Person probably couldn't beat that woman, but he was quite fierce; it seems like he scared her away."

"Stop talking nonsense, a win is a win! Winning means being strong! From now on, I am a die-hard fan of the Mysterious Person!"

"Exactly. Ten BOSSes, three crippled and one killed; what else do you need to consider someone strong?"

"From now on, I'm a die-hard fan of the Mysterious Person, I'm going to stick with him."

"You're dreaming. We didn't even join in after we respawned; it'll be good enough if we don't lose favorability."

"How could we join in? I died seven times today, two of which were cremation; the 10% sensory feedback was so painful I couldn't stand it."

"It's fine, the people from Qingyun didn't join in either."

"It's a pity we couldn't complete the quest."

[Quest Complete!]

[Mysterious Person: Adventurers from foreign lands, today's battle is just the beginning. You and I have experienced a test together. Through this battle, you should have already realized how terrifying the strong of Blue Star are.]

[Mysterious Person: Do not be disheartened by momentary weakness; I believe you will be able to grow quickly.]

[Mysterious Person: I am not lightly injured and need to go back to recuperate, but we will meet again soon. By then, I will bring you even more surprises.]

"So after all that, this quest was just an experience?"

"So you're saying the Mysterious Person is a mentor-type character?"

"No wonder this quest was so outrageous; it seems it's normal that it couldn't be completed."

"Did you notice? The Mysterious Person summoned two Saber-toothed Tigers earlier. If I remember correctly, that should be a Mystic skill, right?"

"That's right! When a Mystic advances to a second-tier Secret Curse Master and learns the Spirit Summoning Incantation to level four, they can summon Saber-toothed Tigers."

"Isn't a Mystic a support class? They're actually this strong!"

Amidst the discussion, Shang Qingyun gathered a group of Qingyun key members to discuss.

"It is indeed the Spirit Summoning Incantation."

"The slowing skill he used is Frostfoot Gu, which is a Secret Insect Master skill that can be learned from the class mentor."

"So, the Mysterious Person is actually a Mystic who dual-cultivates two branches?"

"That should be the case."

"Fortunately, we found out early. Pass on my words: encourage our people to switch to Mystic."

"Uh... Boss. I think an NPC is an NPC. He is fierce, but it's too difficult for us players to dual-cultivate. Besides, Mystics have Spirit as their main attribute; if you calculate it, they aren't that strong after the second tier."

"How do you know he is a second-tier? Maybe he's a third-tier, he just didn't use those skills."

"This..."

"I also think that even if Mystics aren't as strong as imagined, they definitely aren't weak. Otherwise, the game wouldn't have specifically introduced such a mysterious mentor to put on a show for us."

"That makes sense! Has everyone's recordings been collected?"

"Collected, Boss! A total of 794, from all angles."

"Very good! Give it to the publicity team and have them produce a documentary episode for me as soon as possible. It needs to be exquisite and magnificent! Just like today's fierce battle! Then post it directly to the forum!"

"Huh? You want to promote it extensively? Boss, I checked the progress of the major guilds; they haven't encountered an NPC like the Mysterious Person. If we publicize this, won't they all flock here?"

"Boss, I think the previous approach of the Baoju Squad is worth learning from."

"Don't be stingy. Thousands of people were present today; this news cannot be kept secret. Besides, do I, Qingdi, need to take advantage of this? This is an excellent opportunity to boost our Qingyun's reputation in the heavenly change. Execute it!"

Wei Family Hall.

Wei Yuan sat upright in the central chair, with Wei Cheng and 2nd Division Commander Wei Jun flanking him on the left and right. All three were expressionless, like clay statues.

After a while, an old servant with white hair walked in and whispered a few words into Wei Yuan's ear.

Wei Yuan nodded and waved his hand to signal him to withdraw.

After the old servant left, Wei Yuan let out a long sigh.

"A storm is brewing!"

Wei Cheng took a puff of his cigarette, "Within a single day, rumors are flying everywhere, all aimed at us."

"First it was the sixth brother, then the fourth sister, and it vaguely points to the seventh uncle as well. The person planning this behind the scenes is a formidable character."

"They probably forgot that the Wei Family has been prosperous in Song City for over a hundred years; we are not soft persimmons that anyone can squeeze."

2nd Division Commander Wei Jun also pondered, "I now suspect that the series of events surrounding Peng Lin is not isolated; someone wants to dismantle our Wei Family from multiple directions. However, the methods are still a bit weak; rumors are just rumors, they are of no great use."

Wei Yuan picked up a small box on the table, took out a letter, looked at it carefully, closed it, and then sighed again.

"There are some things I didn't tell you before, but now I must. Regarding the fourth sister... it is not a rumor."

"What!"

Both of them were shocked and turned their heads in unison to look at their eldest brother.

Wei Yuan explained, "Actually, grandfather and father were also Sun Worshipers. This secret is only kept by the heads of the family through the generations. That is the reason I didn't tell you before."

2nd Division Commander Wei Jun was dumbfounded, "Eldest brother, are you one too? Then why... why was the fourth sister involved?"

Wei Yuan's expression was bitter, "I am not. My aptitude is too poor to withstand the Power of the Sun. But the fourth sister's constitution is particularly suitable, so back then father..."

"Father originally wanted the fourth sister to marry into the royal family, but then the incident with Guan Tai happened. Due to a series of consequences, this idea could not be realized."

"And later, Ye Baiqiao appeared, and father intended for them to be together and guided Ye Baiqiao to also become a Sun Worshiper."

2nd Division Commander Wei Jun couldn't believe it, "Ye Baiqiao... was guided by our dad to become a Sun Worshiper?"

"Of course. At that time, that person had high hopes for him. If it weren't for father being one move ahead, he would probably be the new High Priest of the Songcheng Sect by now."

"But father didn't expect that while Ye Baiqiao was willing to accept the Power of the Sun, he did not agree with their philosophy, and the two sides parted on bad terms."

"After a few more years, father reluctantly chose Xu Chaoyang."

Wei Cheng furrowed his brows and asked, "Eldest brother, does Xu Chaoyang know that the fourth sister is a Sun Worshiper?"

Wei Yuan nodded slightly, "He knows."

"Then the fourth sister... does she have contact with the Blasphemers now? And what kind of relationship does our Wei Family have with them?"

"Since our great-grandfather's time, the Wei Family had already separated from the Blasphemers. But the fourth sister... in order to strengthen the Wei Family, she restored some cooperative relations with them. She selectively accepts their tasks and shares their intelligence."

"Does the seventh uncle know about this?"

"He is a bishop, of course we cannot let him know."

"Then we are in trouble." Wei Cheng stood up and paced back and forth, appearing very anxious.

Wei Yuan said again at this moment, "Regarding the fourth sister's matter, with Xu Chaoyang there, there should still be time. But the sixth brother's matter cannot be delayed any longer; it must be dealt with immediately."

"Eldest brother, did the sixth brother not return to Huaidu?"

"The sixth brother? What does the sixth brother have... Eldest brother, don't tell me that the sixth brother's matter is also not a rumor!"
