72: Plunder War, Bai Xiaoxiao's Plan

Don't be fooled, this labyrinth is huge and can accommodate two to three hundred thousand people.

But there are only three resurrection points inside.

Coincidentally, he and his clones also total three.

Although the combat power of the clones is only 30% of Ye Xiao's main body, in Ye Xiao's opinion,

even this 30% is not something that novices in the Path of Exile can deal with at this stage.

More importantly, that Zhao Peng clearly also wanted to deal with him in this labyrinth.

Towards enemies who harbored ill will against him,

Ye Xiao had always been one to repay grudges.

What's more, the Zhao family was determined to get him now.

He had even less reason to let their family members off.

Anyway, in the Novice Zone, he was invincible.

There was no doubt about that.

After activating Divinity Speed, Ye Xiao's speed was extremely fast.

Along the way, whenever he encountered Professionals,

Ye Xiao didn't waste any words; one Fireball after another directly took their lives.

It was a points competition now.

Ye Xiao naturally wouldn't hesitate to act just because he didn't know the other party.

In a short while, he and his three clones had killed over a hundred people.

And his points, in this short amount of time, surged wildly.

By this moment, he already had 5780 points.

The number of people he had killed had long exceeded three digits.

It must be said that killing these Professionals was much simpler than killing monsters.

At least the monsters he encountered came in batches.

These novices were in twos and threes, and the highest level he encountered was only in the 40s.

They were simply not worth mentioning.

However, Ye Xiao was not obsessed with pursuing kills.

Because, in the Path of Exile, if you are killed once, all your points will be plundered by the other party.

Even if Ye Xiao had tens of thousands of points on him at this moment, the result would be the same.

Of course, a Professional who has been killed can still obtain the other party's points by killing a Professional with points again.

The only difference lies in the level dropped.

This year, there were as many as two hundred thousand participants from the 702 Novice Zone.

And the Labyrinth Plunder Battle only lasted for five hours in total.

It was clearly unrealistic to kill all two hundred thousand people in five hours.

Ye Xiao's idea was very simple.

First, find the resurrection points, then wait until time was almost up, after everyone had accumulated a lot of points.

He would then make his move to kill the opponents.

This way, he could obtain a large number of points at once.

At this time, Zhao Peng and others had also begun hunting other Professionals.

Although their combat power was not as exaggerated as Ye Xiao's,

they were all Professionals of S-rank or above.

And they all had equipment invested by their respective backing families.

Dealing with ordinary people was naturally effortless.

It was very, very difficult for ordinary people to rise to prominence.

At this moment, Zhao Peng's points had also reached 2744.

Meanwhile, in other places, Lin Yong and Wang Cheng's points had also successively surpassed 2000.

However, one person was an exception.

That was Bai Xiaoxiao.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoxiao stood alone in a relatively secluded corner.

No one passed by here.

She wasn't in a hurry about the points.

Instead, she was trying to contact Ye Xiao.

"Brother Ye Xiao, I know your concerns. Now that I'm separated from Zhao Peng and the others, where are you? I'll come find you."

After seeing Ye Xiao earlier, with Bai Xiaoxiao's understanding of Ye Xiao, she had nine-tenths certainty that she could persuade Ye Xiao to help her.

So at this moment, she wasn't worried at all that Ye Xiao would ignore her again.

And just as Bai Xiaoxiao thought,

Ye Xiao quickly responded after seeing the message sent by Bai Xiaoxiao.

"What do you want to do? Just say it directly."

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Xiao's slightly "cold" tone and knew that this man was still stubbornly maintaining that ridiculous bit of pride.

If it had been before, she would never have been happy.

But right now, she still needed to use Ye Xiao.

She didn't bother to argue, instead using extremely gentle words to describe it.

"Brother Ye Xiao, you know my attitude towards you these past three years. It was the Bai family who forced us apart."

"I initially thought you only had an F-rank Talent, so when we met again in the Professionals Hall, I was worried that if I acted too intimately, the Bai family members around me would be unfavorable to you, which is why I spoke hurtful words."

"However, I still took the opportunity to give you some eternal coins in the end, just to let you know that I still love you. Can't you feel it?"

...On the other side, Ye Xiao's hand trembled when he saw the message from Bai Xiaoxiao.

He accidentally flung out a Fireball.

Perhaps it was good luck; the crooked Fireball landed precisely on an unlucky person who had just appeared.

It unexpectedly allowed Ye Xiao to gain another 23 points.

"This Bai Xiaoxiao really dares to say anything, doesn't she have any shame?"

Ye Xiao was speechless.

Whether on the school's sports field or in the Professionals Hall,

Bai Xiaoxiao's arrogant and aloof attitude was not faked.

Did she really take him for a little boy who had never seen a woman?

However, when he had just decided to reply to Bai Xiaoxiao, Ye Xiao already had a plan.

So, he forced himself to suppress his disgust and replied, "I know what you mean. You want me to help you deal with Zhao Peng and the others, right?"

"Brother Ye Xiao, you are as smart as ever."

"That's right! Zhao Peng and Wang Cheng had already secretly discussed that if you refused to join the Eight Great Families, they would team up with others to encircle and annihilate you, killing you down to level 0, and then completely erasing you."

"So, your only way out now is to temporarily join the Bai family, just like me."

Ye Xiao looked at Bai Xiaoxiao's words and thought to himself, 'As expected.' But he had to play the part fully.

"But I disdain to join even the Eight Great Families, so what's the benefit of joining the Bai family?"

Bai Xiaoxiao's message quickly came back.

"Brother Ye Xiao, you're so annoying. At a time like this, you're still thinking about such things."

Ye Xiao blinked, a little puzzled.

He didn't understand Bai Xiaoxiao's words. What was he thinking about?

However, Bai Xiaoxiao quickly sent another message.

"My heart has always been with you. Whether you join the Bai family or not, I am yours."

Seeing this content, Ye Xiao suddenly understood.

Then he felt a little exasperated.

He just wanted to play the part fully, but he didn't expect this woman to misunderstand his meaning.

It was truly... interesting.

But this was even better, saving him the trouble of talking too much.

"Alright, find an opportunity to gather Zhao Peng and the others, then lead them to one of the resurrection points. After that, send me the coordinates, and I'll naturally have a way to help you deal with them."

Bai Xiaoxiao saw Ye Xiao's reply.

Her beautiful lips gradually curved into an arc.

Heh! The fish took the bait.

Having received Ye Xiao's affirmative reply, Bai Xiaoxiao was overjoyed at this moment.

After confirming some more details with Ye Xiao, she proactively contacted Zhao Peng and the others.

Thus, her carefully prepared plan had officially begun its first step.

First, use Ye Xiao to kill off Zhao Peng and the others, and then in the final stage, help her secure first place.

After leaving the Path of Exile, she would then push all the blame onto Ye Xiao.

This way, she could not only ensure she successfully took first place in the Path of Exile and received generous rewards,

but also completely clear herself of any involvement.

This plan was simply flawless.
