Coincidence doubles the crisis!

“You need to be careful. These two have changed drastically after their match-fixing was exposed.”

“They’ve done a lot of bad things in the wilderness.”

Captain Xu Xiu, the captain of the Lazy Worm Squad, finished his quiet explanation.

Then he gestured to his squad members with his eyes.

Don't let their recent miserable escape from the Otherworld Demons fool you.

In Hang City, their squad was still among the top one hundred.

They usually fought with great coordination.

Now, seeing that they might encounter external enemies,

they naturally perked up.

Lin Xuan was currently engaged in a fierce battle inside.

At the very least, they needed to protect Zhang Fan, Chen Wanqiu, and Liu Da Erduo.

Zhang Fan and Chen Wanqiu became serious after hearing the explanation.

Although the Blue Star was generally peaceful,

Sakura Country and Xia Country had always had conflicts.

Now, the other side had two professional players.

They had none here.

There was a gap in strength.

If the other side truly harbored ill intentions,

and the two groups clashed,

it could indeed be a bit dangerous.

Of course, they weren't entirely without a chance of winning.

At the very least,

Lin Xuan was behind them.

It was just that Lin Xuan was busy right now,

and they felt it would be rude to interrupt him so abruptly.

“Strange, retired professional players from Sakura Country coming to our Jianghai City in Xia Country.”

“Could it be related to the Dragon Gate Grottoes incident before?”

Liu Da Erduo frowned slightly, “I heard that a famous active professional player from Sakura Country lent a piece of equipment to his cousin.”

“That equipment was said to be the professional player's core gear, and many of their team's tactics were based on it.”

“As a result, his cousin's equipment was inexplicably dropped in the Dragon Gate Grottoes.”

“There’s such a thing?”

Those around them were surprised to hear this.

They were all still students and didn't really know about this matter.

“Of course, this was told to me by a friend who frequently visits Sakura Country.”

“This matter was said to have caused quite a stir.”

“Because the team of the professional player who lost the equipment qualified for this year's World Championship.”

“This is the time for preparing for the World Championship.”

“I'm afraid these two retired players were sent to find the equipment.”

“What kind of equipment was lost that it's worth doing this?”

“I don't know, but the rumor is it's a shield.”

“As for whether it's true or false, I don't know.”

“After all, for such important equipment, the other party is very likely to release some false information to prevent other teams from finding it in advance…”

Liu Da Erduo was still explaining.

The twenty-plus professional players from Sakura Country had also crossed the hundred-meter-wide plaza.

They arrived at the entrance of the palace.

Seeing a palace emitting moonlight in front of them,

they were all very excited.

“Hahaha, we’re rich.”

“This Guanghan Palace is Change's dwelling in mythology.”

“There must be many treasures inside.”

“Yosh, after this job, we can save many years of hard work.”

“Hahaha!”

These two very strong individuals walked at the forefront.

Looking at the palace, they shouted arrogantly.

Seeing that there were other people inside,

Yamamoto Kawa, the strongest among them, looked at Zhang Fan and the others.

“You guys, hurry up and leave here.”

“This place is reserved by us.”

Zhang Fan and the others frowned upon hearing this.

Make us leave?

Who are you!

“Who are you, and why should we leave?” the Lazy Worm Squad captain, Captain Xu Xiu, asked directly.

“Exactly, why? This is Xia Country’s territory!”

“Because we are stronger than you.”

“The treasures in this Guanghan Palace are not for you to covet.”

“If you know what’s good for you, hurry up and scram.”

“Otherwise, we won’t be polite.”

The people from Sakura Country shouted provocatively.

“Yamamoto-kun, why waste words with them.”

“Let’s just act!”

Zhang Fan and the others' faces darkened.

These people from Sakura Country really intended to fight!

“No rush.”

Beside Yamamoto Kawa, another professional player, Sasaki, with a slanted fringe, stopped them.

“Sasaki-kun, why are you stopping us?”

“These Xia Country people only have one at level 100, and they still want to snatch treasures from us?”

“Exactly, they are too overconfident!”

Sasaki didn't reply.

Instead, he looked at Zhang Fan and the others and asked in broken Chinese:

“Have you seen a professional player wearing black armor and holding a greatsword?”

As he spoke,

he also took out a portrait.

Zhang Fan and the others were startled when they saw the portrait.

Isn't this Lin Xuan's Lich King Form!

The other party was actually looking for Lin Xuan!

They exchanged glances.

Could it be that...

When Lin Xuan was killing monsters in the wilderness, he encountered professional players from Sakura Country who were training in the wilderness?

And even killed them, creating enmity?

Or rather...

Were those two active professional players from Sakura Country really here in Xia Country to find equipment?

Now they're looking for Lin Xuan.

Is it because the equipment was dropped by Lin Xuan?!

Thinking of this,

everyone felt their scalps tingle.

It truly is a small world, isn't it?

However,

if that's truly the case,

then they absolutely couldn't let this group of Sakura Country people in easily.

Lin Xuan had just entered the palace to clear out the Enchanting Flying Maiden deeply, precisely because he wasn't confident he could avoid harming them.

In other words,

Lin Xuan was also struggling a bit.

If these people were allowed to enter and cause trouble,

it could pose a life-threatening danger to Lin Xuan!

Zhang Fan, Chen Wanqiu, and the others exchanged glances.

They all realized the seriousness of the situation.

No matter what,

before Lin Xuan finished the battle inside,

they had to stop this group of people!

“You guys.”

“Do you know the person in the portrait?”

“Do you recognize them?”

Sasaki frowned when he saw their silence.

His voice also became much colder.

Zhang Fan and the others looked at each other.

This kind of thing,

they naturally couldn't tell the other party.

Seeing that they still didn't speak,

Yamamoto Kawa and the others became enraged:

“Baka, you’re looking for death!”

“We’re speaking to you nicely.”

“It’s one thing if you ignore us.”

“But facing Sasaki-kun’s inquiry, you still won’t speak!”

“Are you trying to die?”

As he spoke,

a burst of aura erupted from Yamamoto Kawa.

Zhang Fan and the others felt this aura.

Their expressions changed drastically.

So strong!

This sense of oppression.

Their average attributes were definitely more than five hundred higher than theirs!

And people of this strength,

they had two of them here!

Feeling the other party's powerful strength,

Zhang Fan and the others also felt a faint pressure.

Their strength was still too low.

However,

even so,

they couldn't possibly tell the other party Lin Xuan's whereabouts!

And they would desperately try to stop them.

“I’ll give you one last chance.”

“Are you going to speak or not!”

Yamamoto Kawa roared.

His powerful aura erupted.

But just then,

another commotion came from not far from the palace plaza.

This commotion was quite loud.

Estimated to be about a hundred people.

When they approached,

Zhang Fan and the others were shocked.

These people...

They were all Otherworld Demon Clan!

And,

the Mountain Clan Demon from before who fled was not among them.

Instead, they were Forest Clan Demons, whose faces had a 'forest' shaped pattern!

This race of theirs,

among the Otherworld Demon Clan,

belonged to the warriors.

Although their speed was relatively slower,

their health was exceptionally high.

Their strength was very powerful!

They were the second strongest tribe among the Otherworld Demon Clan!

“Trouble.”

Zhang Fan murmured softly.

Chen Wanqiu, seeing the situation, pulled out an ox horn from her backpack.

In this current situation,

only Lin Xuan's appearance could resolve it.

To avoid disturbing Lin Xuan,

she could only use this ox horn to communicate.

However,

before she could make a move,

the group of Sakura Country professional players became agitated first.

Seeing another group of people arrive,

and in large numbers,

they naturally worried about them snatching the resources of Guanghan Palace.

One of the Sakura Country professional players stepped forward two paces.

“Baka! What are you—”

Boom—!

Before the Sakura Country professional player could finish speaking,

he was struck through the heart by a Demon with his hand.

And at this very moment,

the ox horn in Chen Wanqiu's hand, which could be used for communication, vibrated twice slowly.
