139: Being brutally slaughtered, feeling extremely aggrieved
Within Yue Country.
An Immortal Foundation Cultivator from Heshui Prefecture led a team, along with all newly joined player Cultivators and those who joined during the Golden Core Clarity Qi period, to besiege the Great Love Sect.
“Interesting, swapping locations for slaughter...”
Ye Chun held a long spear, moving with the main force, a sense of emotion in his heart.
Although all the Disciples of the Great Love Sect were players, many of them were soul-transmigrated players, intricately connected to local forces.
If the Three Great Sects each “cleaned their own house,” it would likely lead to various suspicions, causing the underlying forces to become estranged. While it wouldn't cause major incidents, over the years, there would occasionally be “revengers,” which would also be troublesome.
Therefore, the Three Great Sects had an extremely tacit understanding: they swapped locations. People from Heshui Prefecture came to help Duan Kong Cave with the slaughter, Duan Kong Cave went to help Qingling Sect kill people, and Qingling Sect streamed into the territory protected by Heshui Prefecture.
In the eyes of the Mortals at the bottom, it was naturally an invasion by external enemies, and they could even put on a show of Sect protection and ultimately being outmatched. But what it actually was, Ye Chun saw too clearly.
“It’s really f*cking dark, even darker than those people in the club.”
Ye Chun cursed in his heart. He had seen the dark side of reality, but even so, he was shocked by the actions of the Three Great Sects. This was no longer just infighting; it couldn't even be called a gang. In reality, it would be considered anti-human.
Soon, they arrived at a valley. A decent-sized redoubt stood in the center, blocking the passage. The Cultivators of the Great Love Sect vigilantly guarded the redoubt, and some even used spiritual power to draw bows and shoot arrows, attempting to resist.
“Kill!!”
Someone, a player, shouted first, and everyone rushed towards the redoubt.
Those chosen to join Heshui Prefecture were naturally considered Geniuses in Cultivation, but this did not mean they were morally upright. To put it bluntly, most of them had a player mentality. For them, this was a PVP event, with no psychological burden or pressure.
Ye Chun was not like Midnight Gao Sou with his sentimental attitude. He knew very well that no matter how real the Xuanhuan World was, it was still just a game, and what he had to do was constantly upgrade and clear the stages.
This encirclement and slaughter of the Great Love Sect would bring a lot of Sect contributions, which was why he came here.
Swish!
He held the long spear, without even blinking, and leaped into the redoubt, directly impaling a Great Love Sect player. Then, with a flick of his wrist, spiritual power surged, and the long spear swept outwards, smashing another player. At the same time, he unleashed a water spell, knocking down a player who was trying to ambush him from afar...
So Ye Chun continuously advanced within the redoubt; almost no one could stop him.
Other players also followed, one after another, leaping into the redoubt and engaging in a frenzied battle.
Some Cultivators with lower Cultivation and poorer combat skills could not directly leap into the redoubt like them, nor could they break the redoubt's stone walls. They could only honestly wait for the players who had killed their way inside to open the gates for them.
In almost just over ten minutes, the entire redoubt had fallen. The Cultivators of Heshui Prefecture collectively charged in, causing the Great Love Sect to scream repeatedly.
“A redoubt? An interesting idea.”
In the sky, the Immortal Foundation Cultivator looked at the useless fortress and chuckled softly.
The lower the level of Cultivator, the more they liked to ponder over Mortal things, because they had too little access to information and simply didn't know that the Cultivation World had a hundred arts of Cultivation. Even if it was city building, the methods Cultivators could use were completely different from Mortals.
For example, this redoubt of the Great Love Sect, in the eyes of the Immortal Foundation Cultivator, didn't require very high skill. An eighth-grade builder could use the same Materials to create a fortress capable of resisting the Qi Refining Ninth Level. If they were willing to invest a bit more spiritual resources, it could even hold back Mortal Foundation Cultivator for a period of time.
Unfortunately, there were many low-grade Cultivation Techniques within the Great Love Sect, but truly valuable skills were rarely uploaded by anyone.
The Immortal Foundation Cultivator shook his head and continued to observe the battle, his eyes narrowed, watching who was holding back and who was not.
It was said that Extraterrestrial Demons all came from the same universe, and their attitude towards their own kind was completely different from their attitude towards outsiders. This attitude made the Immortal Foundation Cultivator very displeased, and it was also the main reason he opposed the Sect Master recruiting Extraterrestrial Demons.
The Sect Master, however, told him that Extraterrestrial Demons indeed liked to stick together, but they didn't all stick together. Instead, they would form one small group after another, dividing themselves. If that was the case, why couldn't Heshui Prefecture become the group they supported?
The Immortal Foundation Cultivator was skeptical and decided to observe carefully during the battle.
The result was that the more he watched, the more alarmed he became.
Because he discovered that when these Extraterrestrial Demons fought each other, they were truly more ruthless than the last!
They completely disregarded the fact that the other party was their compatriot, fighting mercilessly, using every means available, and being as insidious as possible.
The most insane thing was that he even saw that while both sides were clearly fighting, having both lost an arm, both individuals were actually smiling, even chatting while fighting!
It was too bizarre, making the Immortal Foundation Cultivator's eyelids twitch. What kind of people were these? Was it really okay for such people to join Heshui Prefecture?
One must know that Heshui Prefecture was different from Duan Kong Cave. The latter was completely raising human medicine; all Qi Refining Extraterrestrial Demons would eventually become medicinal Materials, and after Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, they would also be used to plant “Immortal Medicine.” They would never hand over their most precious Legacies to Extraterrestrial Demons; they would never pose a threat.
But Heshui Prefecture genuinely wanted to cultivate Extraterrestrial Demons, and many Elders even believed that they were the future hope of Heshui Prefecture. Their powerful talent and astonishing fighting spirit were enough to lead Heshui Prefecture to new glory.
The problem was... were these people really okay?
The Immortal Foundation Cultivator looked at the Extraterrestrial Demons fighting with playful smiles, his eyelids twitching non-stop. These people were truly too strange.
“However, there are also good sprouts among them...”
He looked towards the deepest part of the redoubt. Ye Chun had already attacked the core position and was fighting a Qi Refining Ninth Level Cultivator. He was ruthless and spoke little, every move extraordinarily exquisite, even making the Immortal Foundation Cultivator feel somewhat incredible. His combat literacy was simply too high; all he lacked was Cultivation.
“Unfortunately, this little fellow has already been favored by the Sect Master. I don't have the fortune to take him as a Disciple.”
The Immortal Foundation Cultivator shook his head and continued to examine the redoubt's battle... On the other side.
Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty.
Great Love Sect's main Sect.
This was a continuous mountain range with relatively abundant Spiritual Veins. The main Sect was located on the highest Spirit Peak and was preparing to expand in all directions.
Midnight Gao Sou and others gathered together, everyone's expression not looking good.
Because after they issued the retreat order, many players surprisingly ignored the command and chose to stay in the sub-Sect to fight the enemy. They felt that this was a rare faction battle gameplay, and even if their character was lost, they wanted to experience it.
Old Potato's face darkened upon hearing this.
These high-level members increasingly realized that as the Great Love Sect continued to develop and its profitability steadily increased, the mindset of the high-level members towards the Xuanhuan World would become increasingly disconnected from the mindset of the players below, and this problem was very likely unsolvable.
The most frustrating thing was that even if these players played their own way, after their lives were lost, they would still go to the forum to curse the Great Love Sect:
【Is this the number one player force? Damn, I was slaughtered the first day I joined!】
【It's unbearable, the Great Love Sect should just go out of business. They're just a bunch of rabble.】
【Now the Great Love Sect has fully retreated to Great Jiang. Guess when they'll be kicked out of Great Jiang?】
【The Great Love Sect's standard is too low. They say they have a Golden Core Legacy, but there isn't even an Immortal Foundation among them. Anyone can just come and slaughter a sub-Sect.】
Looking at the comments one by one, Midnight Gao Sou's expression became increasingly grim. No matter what, the Great Love Sect was the fruit of his and Old Potato's efforts, and being cursed like this by the players was truly frustrating.
“Everyone, I have a method that can allow me to achieve Immortal Foundation as soon as possible.”
Midnight Gao Sou calmed his emotions and said, “With an Immortal Foundation, we can be considered a reputable force. I can't say for sure within the three countries, but within the Great Jiang Imperial Dynasty, we will definitely be able to protect ourselves.”
