675: Chapter 673 This plan is brilliant

As the mechanical voice echoing from all directions faded, the game rules composed of yellow sand completely dissipated, turning into a sky full of sand rain that swept down in the fierce wind.

The remaining bits of yellow sand twisted and transformed into a continuously writhing countdown.

Not far from this countdown, there were also player count prompts corresponding to the police and bandit factions.

[Police: 48690]

[Bandits: 10001]

High above the sky, yellow sand filled the air. Amidst this swirling storm, the two strings of constantly flashing numbers formed by it became the focus of everyone's attention.

Although many people were coming into contact with words like "meters" and "seconds" for the first time, and didn't even recognize most of the characters, they inexplicably understood their meanings.

"Cop and bandit game..." The Third Elder's expression trembled as he blurted out, "This is actually a slaughter rule similar to the Forbidden Land! Could the card held by Chu Xuan be the remains of some ancient deity?"

The usually hot-tempered Second Elder also fell into a rare silence at this moment, his eyes filled with shock.

The Grand Elder also revealed shock in his eyes.

At that moment, a mocking voice sounded, "Your knowledge is still far too superficial. This is a certain type of rule-based item that can force people within its range to participate in the game!

Do not underestimate this item; its effect has similar might to the Forbidden Land. If you dare to ignore it, you will likely suffer an unbearable price."

Hearing this, the three Grand Elders of the Cangyun Sect turned their heads in unison, casting their gazes toward Minge, who had immediately leaped onto another high platform after recovering her mobility.

The three exchanged glances with one another, and when they looked at Minge again, cold gleams filled their eyes.

"What? Do the few of you want to kill me first while I'm alone?" Minge wore a trace of a sneer as emerald-green sprouts grew from her left and right shoulders respectively.

In the blink of an eye, the sprouts frantically grew branches and turned into vines, then, amidst distortion, transformed into two identical Minges.

The aura of these two Minges was much weaker, but each held a fang in her hand, wreathed in black fog and gleaming with a bone-chilling light.

"Qianzhi Incarnation? Demon Lord's fangs?" The pupils of the three Cangyun Sect Elders constricted slightly.

"At this very moment, are you really sure you want to fight me to the death in this place?"

As Minge spoke coldly, the space above her main body faintly showed signs of distortion, clearly revealing a terrifying sharp claw that seemed ready to materialize at any moment.

"Demon Lord..." A trace of wariness involuntarily arose in the eyes of the three White-haired Elders.

Immediately afterwards, another sprout frantically grew from Minge's shoulder, blossoming into a dazzling flower, from which crawled out a youth with complex and distorted facial features.

The youth's six eyes glared fiercely as he looked at the three White-haired Elders, humming disdainfully, "Do you really want to fight to the death?"

"Qianzhi, don't get excited yet. These three cherish their lives dearly; without absolute certainty of victory, they would never risk themselves."

Minge gave a faint chuckle. Looking at the three of them, she asked with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Three Elders, am I right?"

The three of them could not help looking grim.

At this moment, even the Second Elder, who seemed extremely hot-tempered, forcefully held back and did not erupt.

Seeing this, Minge did not continue to mock them. Instead, she withdrew her smile and said in a calm tone:

"Three Elders, although we belong to opposing sides, we also have an unspoken understanding. There are rarely times when we truly clash and contend with each other; most disputes are still decided by the people below fighting to the death.

"To put it bluntly, what does it matter if all living beings in the world perish? Even if this Cangyun World finally collapses, what does it have to do with you? You still have a way out; you might as well join our Divine Light World and witness the prosperity of the greater world together with us!

"Whether you believe it or not, and whatever your final choice may be, at least for now, our only common enemy is Chu Xuan!

"And this slaughter game was obviously designed by that Chu Xuan, with the purpose of making us kill each other while he uses the game rules to hide in the shadows, watch the battle as a spectator, and harvest at a critical moment.

"If my guess is not wrong, Sect Leader Qingcheng and Sect Leader Zhihua should be with my three companions, and they have also been assigned to the bandit faction..."

As Minge spoke, she closely observed the demeanor of the three White-haired Elders. Seeing that their expressions gradually relaxed, she continued:

"The most urgent task is to complete the game! Since we are now in the game, we can only win by the rules of the game!

"According to the game rules, as long as the bandits obtain three kill Markings, they can transform into the police faction.

"We only need to cooperate together, first have all the top-tier combat forces of the bandit faction transform into police, and then gather all the police near these five police bases emitting blue light, and we can sit back and wait for 3 hours to pass to achieve victory.

"After all, in this game, the police are close to 5 times the number of bandits; the advantage is on our side! Even if the bandits possess rule-based invisibility skills, they can only be effective in a stationary state. What else can they possibly do?"

Hearing Minge's words, the three pondered for a moment and nodded one after another.

"This plan is splendid!" The Grand Elder nodded and said:

"Although this place is not large in scope, spanning no more than thirty miles horizontally and vertically, our perception is only effective within our field of vision, and we cannot move or damage buildings. As a result, large-scale attacks are almost ineffective, and the bandits can hide at will."

As he spoke, the Grand Elder even tried to strike, unleashing a huge palm print that slapped toward several stacked wooden crates in a corner not far away.

Amidst a roar, those wooden crates, which looked ordinary and seemed as if they could be shattered at will, did not move a single bit.

Not only that, the Grand Elder also tried to leap into the air, but upon reaching just 30 meters, it seemed as if he had reached his limit and could go no higher.

However, this city of yellow sand was filled with hundred-meter-tall buildings everywhere, with architectural complexes standing tall.

Therefore, wanting to occupy high-altitude positions and take in the entire city within view was almost impossible.

The others also tried one after another, and it was indeed just as the rules stated.

At this point, the three Cangyun Sect Elders had no more objections and unanimously approved Minge's suggestion, "As long as we make no mistakes, we don't need to actively search for the bandits. Once time is up, we will achieve a complete victory!"

"Since that is the case, I must trouble the three Elders to make a trip to the place where the bandits are located and inform Qingcheng, Sect Leader Zhihua, and my three companions of this plan." Minge smiled faintly. "According to my deduction, the bandits should be gathered together just like us, located on the opposite side corresponding to us."

"Then you..." The Grand Elder wore a look of suspicion.

Minge let out a dry laugh, "Have you forgotten? If these five police bases are captured by the bandits, we will lose prematurely. We must leave a police officer with sufficient strength to guard this place."

As Minge spoke, the Void Realm above her head twisted again, and the illusory giant claw wriggled a bit more.

"I can summon the Demon Lord's claw, which is enough to guard this place." After speaking, Minge added, "Everyone, please act quickly. Those three companions of mine do not have good tempers; perhaps they have already exchanged blows with the two Sect Masters by now."

Hearing this, the three Cangyun Sect Grand Elders delayed no further. After giving a few instructions to the numerous Martial Artists under the platform, they leaped away.

Within these two or three minutes, the four of them had already made their decision on the spot.

As for the remaining Martial Artists of the police faction present, after experiencing a brief introduction to the game rules, most of them had not yet fully awakened and were still in a daze when decisions had already been made for them in advance by the higher-ups.

Among these Martial Artists, needless to say, the coalition of Great Cang Dynasty Martial Artists with the Four Great Sects at its core completely obeyed the three Grand Elders of the Cangyun Sect.

As for the Martial Artists in the Heavenly Dao Alliance, their upper echelons were basically insiders of the Four Great Sects and the Shendao Sect. Now, under the threat of the game rules and with the top decision-makers providing the basic policy, they naturally lost the thought of continuing to fight to the death.

"Hehe... If you crack it so easily, wouldn't I, the game designer, be too much of a failure?"

In an edge corner, Chu Xuan slowly raised his head. As his eyes opened and closed, a trace of coldness flashed past. Amidst the transformation of his figure, he turned into Minge's appearance.

The indestructible flowing shadow in his hand wriggled, transforming into a four-foot-long fang that emitted a chilling luster and was sharp and dazzling.

Then, Chu Xuan took out the communication radar and sent a message to Tang Zheng:

"Tang Zheng, you should be very familiar with this game map, right? Teleport to the dog hole hidden point. No matter what you see, don't move, and wait for me to come over."

The message was sent successfully, and he put away the communication radar.

Stepping forward step by step, Chu Xuan ignored the chaotic battle that had already unfolded where the bandits were located. Amidst successive teleports, he canceled his stealth state and walked in the form of Minge along the path that the three Cangyun Sect Grand Elders were bound to take.
