368: The players' temptation

Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!

The high-speed Cultivators created a trail like a passing airplane, leaving behind sonic booms.

"Are they still following?"

"No, they're not within Spiritual Sense range."

"Wait, Feng Chuan is a Nascent Soul, can our senses even find him?"

"Anyway, just act as if he's still following."

A group of players gathered and headed south.

After an unknown amount of time, they hovered over a mountain range, looking north, and waited a while longer.

"Feng Chuan didn't come."

"He seems a bit cautious, doesn't he?"

"Didn't we already spread the word? If our Newbie Village is destroyed, we can't revive. He should take the risk, right?"

"Did someone leak the information?"

"Are you talking about the players from the Yuyao Kingdom?"

"Probably not. I saw Wan Lin's messages; they're building relationships with the Yao Race of the Yuyao Kingdom, seemingly taking on missions from the Western Country players. They wouldn't mess up our plan."

"Ultimately, this is a call for all players to unite. Everyone must weave a lie together to lure Feng Chuan into a trap. Anyone who dares to betray will be attacked by our player community. I don't think anyone would dare to do that."

"Then why isn't Feng Chuan acting?"

"This old guy is too cautious, isn't he?"

The players all sighed.

A few months passed after the players initiated their group meeting.

The united players spread a rumor: as long as the player Newbie Village in the valley was destroyed, players would be unable to revive, thus fundamentally destroying them.

Subsequently, players continuously provoked the Qingling Sect, attempting to make them realize how disgusting players with resurrection abilities truly were.

This stage lasted for about a month, and the Qingling Sect Elders completely lost their composure, angrily and frantically hunting down players, even engaging in indiscriminate attacks.

So, the players consciously moved south, trying to lure the Qingling Sect Elders to the Newbie Village, the most crucial target, of course, being Feng Chuan.

But no matter how they tried, Feng Chuan, and even other Qingling Sect Elders, none of them would leave the northern mountain region.

"Logically speaking, the information about the Cloud-Swallowing Whale shouldn't have been exposed."

"From the Qingling Sect's perspective, our strongest combat power here is just a state-stabilizing seal. They shouldn't be this afraid, right?"

"Could it be that the state-stabilizing seal's combat power is unexpectedly strong?"

Just as the players were discussing,

Suddenly, someone shouted in surprise, "Holy crap, what is that thing in the north?"

The ground was shaking, clouds were being stirred, air currents began to swirl wildly, and loud sounds echoed like giant war drums playing continuously.

Countless Yao Beasts came from the north, and among them were dozens of mountain-sized Great Yao.

"It's the Yuyao Kingdom's Yao Beast army!"

"Damn it, how dare they come?"

"Didn't the state-stabilizing seal set up a Formation specifically for Yao Beasts?"

The players quickly retreated south.

Before long, they arrived at a continuous mountain range, where a hundred-meter-tall city wall was built against the mountains, with Formation platforms integrated into it, shining brightly.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The Formation platforms hummed, and then a light green barrier rose, forming an indestructible transparent bulwark, defending everyone behind it.

Boom!

The first to strike the Formation barrier was a ten-meter-tall pig-like Yao Beast, with immense power, like a cannonball hitting the city wall.

Its sharp tusks twisted under the impact, then broke, and the pig Yao let out a loud shriek of agony.

Before it could react, another galloping deer Yao charged into it, carrying the pig Yao's body along as it crashed into the city wall barrier with a bang, turning into shattered bones and flying flesh.

Then came the third Yao Beast, then the fourth, the fifth, and after that, the numbers became indistinguishable; only waves upon waves of Yao Beasts could be seen continuously charging, with later ones always crushing those that came before.

It was a scene straight out of Hell.

"Seriously, do the people of the Yuyao Kingdom really not care about the lives of the Yao Beasts?"

"This... this is too wasteful, isn't it?"

"It's a completely meaningless charge..."

The players stood on the city wall, looking at the constantly charging and dying Yao Beasts below, clicking their tongues in amazement.

Some Yao Race players had solemn expressions.

"Ultimately, these Yao Beasts are just tools in the eyes of the Yuyao Kingdom."

"Just as we use Flying Swords to test, these Yao Beasts are also used for probing."

"They're completely ruthless..."

"I heard that the people of the Yuyao Kingdom can revive after dying, similar to us players. So, let alone Yao Beasts, they don't even cherish their own Physical Bodies."

Amidst the players' discussions, they suddenly noticed a mountain-sized Great Yao beginning to move.

First, it was an ape Yao, very large in stature, with thick fur on its chest, almost like a black forest.

But its arms, despite its large size, appeared long and slender, giving the impression of an ape, as if it could grab a branch and swing away at any moment.

Boom!

Suddenly, a surge of Qi rushed forth, and ripples appeared on the barrier, as if it had been struck by something.

"That monkey Yao is attacking the barrier. It must be using brute force to directly strike the air. The distance isn't far, but its explosive power is astonishing. We need to deal with it."

The players' expressions were serious.

The vibration from that last blow was completely different from other Yao Beasts; it was clearly a Demon Body-level attack.

If they let it continue attacking, the Formation might actually be broken.

"No, let it keep attacking."

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Everyone quickly looked up.

They saw a Golden Core Player quietly appear, looking north at the constantly bombarded Formation, with no fear on his face, only excitement.

"It's been almost a year since the Yuyao Kingdom appeared, hasn't it? Before, they always stayed outside the walls, unwilling to provoke the Immortal Dynasty.

"Today, with a large army pressing down, constantly bombarding the barrier, there must be a suggestion from the Qingling Sect involved.

"Which means, as soon as the Formation breaks and the city walls collapse, if the Yuyao Kingdom army moves south, then Feng Chuan of the Qingling Sect will also move south with them!"

Upon hearing this, the players all showed excited expressions.

"Our plan to lure Feng Chuan is going to succeed!"

"Holy crap, so should we help destroy the Formation?"

"No, no, no, absolutely not. Let's keep up the act and trick Feng Chuan over!"

"Do we even need to act? The other side has too many Great Yao; we can't beat them anyway, right?"

Boom!

The sound of the Formation on the city wall being bombarded grew louder and louder.

Theoretically, if the players fully committed to defending with the city wall Formation, as long as the opponent didn't send out Fourth Grade powerhouses, they couldn't break through.

But now, the players were completely unwilling to put in their best effort, even hoping the defense would break immediately, so that Feng Chuan would confidently move south with the Yuyao Kingdom army.

Rumble!
