46: Bloody Cleanup

Chen Ling certainly didn't want to fight Shu Xi and the others during the monster siege.

However, as long as Shu Xi and a few others were taken down by surprise first, the remaining people would be a scattered mess and not worth worrying about.

After notifying Lin Yufei, Lin Liang and Chen Ling led their team, marching grandly towards Shu Xi and the others.

Seeing this, Shu Xi and the others also stopped their dispute with Lin Yufei. Everyone gripped their weapons and looked warily at the approaching group.

"Shu Xi, today is the time to settle things," Chen Ling said, looking down at Shu Xi.

Shu Xi and the others looked solemn. Was Chen Ling really going to make a move, completely disregarding the impending crisis?

Shu Xi looked at Chen Ling with a dark expression and said, "Chen Ling, the leader and the others are still alive. Haven't you thought about how you'll endure his monstrous wrath if he returns?"

Hearing this, Lin Liang burst into laughter, "Huang Chen? If he could come back, he would have by now!

And even if he does come back, what then? We have so many people, are we afraid of just one of him?"

Lin Liang's words immediately drew loud agreement from the crowd behind him.

"Exactly, with so many of us, if he dares to come, we'll send him straight to hell."

"Do you think Huang Chen is some kind of gentleman? He took all the benefits, only caring about himself. Is he fit to be this leader?"

"It's better to follow Sister Ling and Brother Liang; they eat meat, and we still get to drink soup."

The discussions of the crowd reached their ears, and many began to ponder the difference between Huang Chen and Chen Ling, especially the original 100-man team.

Upon closer thought, it seemed Huang Chen really had been serving only himself from beginning to end, never considering the welfare of his subordinates.

In this light, it was indeed better for Chen Ling to be the leader; at least Chen Ling would consider their physiological needs.

"A bunch of ungrateful people! Even so, how did you reach level 30 without the leader?" Lin Han angrily exclaimed.

Just then, Lin Yufei and a few others quietly moved closer to Shu Xi and the other women.

Lin Liang had a smile on his face until Lin Yufei and the others reached behind Shu Xi, then his expression suddenly turned cold.

"Attack!"

Lin Liang roared.

Three thousand people from the two teams simultaneously lit up their hands with five-colored light.

A battle was imminent.

Just at this moment, several loud shouts came from behind Shu Xi and the others: "Soul Severing Stab..."

Then, Shu Xi and the others were directly knocked flying towards Lin Liang's formation.

Shu Xi and the others turned their heads in shock while in mid-air,

Lin Yufei!!!

Immediately, Shu Xi activated her Earth Element Users level 30 skill, Guardian, forming a protective shield in mid-air to guard them.

Lin Yufei and the others were all Gold Element Users, and Soul Severing Stab had a knock-back effect.

However, Lin Liang's side had planned this, and as Shu Xi and the others were knocked flying, all their skills were unleashed.

Suddenly, the square was blasted with flying dust, and the figures of Shu Xi and the others were swallowed within it.

Lin Yufei's sneak attack caught Shu Xi's faction off guard. Before they could react, Lin Liang had already led his people to quickly retreat, avoiding the opponent's skill range.

"Are they dead?!"

Chen Ling and Lin Liang stared intently at the gradually dispersing smoke.

As long as Shu Xi and the others died, without their leader, they could forcefully take over the remaining 800 people.

However, when the smoke completely cleared, the scene was empty.

In fact, at that critical moment, Huang Chen, who had been standing at the inn window, made his move.

He first used a Teleport to get to Shu Xi's side, then another Group Teleport to return to the inn.

"Where are they?"

Chen Ling shrieked.

"Huang Chen, it must be Huang Chen! He has the Group Teleport ability," Lin Liang retreated in horror.

Chen Ling's entire faction instantly fell into disarray, everyone's faces filled with fear. After all, a person's name casts a long shadow, and Huang Chen's influence in 10086 Novice Village was immense.

Without making them wait too long, Huang Chen used another Teleport, appearing like a divine general descending from the heavens, returning to the center of the battlefield with All the women.

"Leader..." The people in Shu Xi's faction shouted in surprised joy, their hearts extremely excited,

That man is still alive,

He's back!!!

Meanwhile, Chen Ling and the others involuntarily retreated.

Huang Chen landed and walked step by step towards Chen Ling and her group,

"Betraying me, and attacking my people. Who gave you the courage?"

Chen Ling's face was pale. The thought of that figure moving freely through the corpse tide filled her with a deep sense of powerlessness.

"You're right, I established Forbidden City solely for my own benefit."

"Therefore, according to the rules, traitors... die!!"

Cold sweat streamed down Lin Liang's face. Huang Chen's oppressive aura was too strong, so strong that his legs trembled uncontrollably.

What to do?

But it had come to this; he didn't believe his two thousand-plus people couldn't fight.

As long as Huang Chen died, he would become the true king... or queen here.

Lin Liang and Chen Ling exchanged glances, subtly nodding.

Prepare to attack!

"With so many of us, why fear just one of him? Follow me and kill..." Lin Liang roared, and the longsword in his hand was the first to unleash an Ice Cone, flying towards Huang Chen.

Huang Chen smiled faintly, slightly turned his body, and dodged the Ice Cone.

His Movement Skill was now close to level 20; low-proficiency skills were basically hard to hit him.

The next instant, Huang Chen's figure disappeared, reappearing in front of Lin Liang.

Lin Liang was greatly alarmed!

Huang Chen merely smiled and slapped him directly.

Bang!

A light slap actually produced an earth-shattering effect.

Lin Liang flew horizontally, his health bar instantly emptied. Before he even hit the ground, he had already turned into a white light and vanished, leaving behind a pile of equipment clanging on the ground.

He... just died?

Some people in Chen Ling's faction had already conjured skills, but now they were all trembling with fear.

"Husband, spare me!" Chen Ling immediately dropped to her knees with a thud.

Seeing this, the others quickly followed suit and knelt down.

No one is unafraid of death, especially these pampered young women who always thought highly of themselves.

The people in Shu Xi's faction were all incredibly excited.

This was Huang Chen's strength; it was simply too powerful.

Huang Chen looked at the kneeling Chen Ling and said indifferently, "I made it very clear: traitors die!"

"No, spare me... ugh..."

Chen Ling's plea for mercy was cut short. Her entire body turned green before disappearing into a white light.

After Chen Ling's death, Huang Chen looked at the kneeling crowd and frowned.

Should he kill them all?

That would be exhausting!!

He turned to look at Xie Chunyan.

Xie Chunyan understood and walked over, saying to the crowd, "Those who joined later can be absolved of their crimes by killing the traitors!"

One sentence stirred up a thousand waves, and in an instant, skills flew across the entire scene.

The traitors frantically fled outwards, while those who joined later desperately attacked to save their lives.

To win over these high-level individuals, Chen Ling had given them high status, especially the men.

So, these people were relatively easy for the newly joined members to identify.

Huang Chen looked at the chaotic scene, glancing at Xie Chunyan in surprise,

That works too!!

A brain is truly a good thing.

Otherwise, if he had to kill so many people himself, not only would identification be difficult, but the psychological hurdle would also be hard to overcome.

After all, they were all delicate beauties, and dozens of them had called him 'husband' just a few days ago!

The chaos lasted for over half an hour, with pleas and cries constantly filling the air.

By the end of the killing, approximately 500 traitors had been executed. And half of the 1700 new recruits also died.

The remaining personnel on the entire 10086 Novice Village panel were directly reduced to only 1653 people.

"Husband, so many people died. Can we defend against the monster siege later?" Xie Chunyan's expression was a bit unnatural when she saw the remaining number; she had indeed overlooked this point earlier.

Huang Chen smiled, "Don't worry, our strength is terrifyingly strong."

"Mhm!" Xie Chunyan nodded, sighing in relief, "Then I'll go arrange the personnel and prepare for the siege."
