The Anti-Yan Enemies Alliance chat group.
Feng Guo Wu Hen: Sigh, lately, the number of members in the group has been dwindling.
Wang Ba: Hasn't it been like this since Blood Drop went to find Yan Shouyi? Every time a group member goes to seek revenge from Yan Shouyi, they disappear!
Ning Jing Zhi Yuan: It's not Yan Shouyi's fault for being a scoundrel and only picking on the weak!
After the incident at the tea house where Chu Liang was killed, Yan Shouyi and his companions returned to Rongcheng.
With Qingming Festival still some time away, and Lin Zhitong not being in Rongcheng, Yan Shouyi, having nothing to do, decided to deal with his father's enemies.
Through the Old Heavenly Master's connections, the enemies in the group, starting from the weakest, came to seek revenge. Every few days, several people would try to take Yan Shouyi's head.
Yan Shouyi, on his end, was well-prepared. Facing the avenging enemies, Yan Shouyi adhered to the principle of seeking peace if possible, and burying them if not. This gradually halved the number of members in the once lively revenge group, leaving it as desolate as it is now.
Of course, the Old Heavenly Master also contributed to this.
Although the Old Heavenly Master was the group leader of the revenge group, he seemed to lean more towards neutrality. Yan Shouyi's whereabouts were privately informed to the avengers by the Old Heavenly Master. The Old Heavenly Master, using unknown methods, managed to keep those who knew Yan Shouyi's location tight-lipped, preventing them from leaking his whereabouts.
It must be said that most cultivators are stubborn. They all want to avenge their grudges alone, so very few people form factions to hunt Yan Shouyi. Da Feng Novel Network
With the help of these "experience points" that came to them, Yan Shouyi and his companions' practical combat skills improved drastically. Even the illusionist He Xiping now shows considerable prowess in combat.
However, seeing the dwindling number of members in the group, a few of the most active big shots started to panic.
Wang Ba: We can't let Yan Shouyi continue this way! @Wang Shi Ru Yan, Group Leader, just publicly announce Yan Shouyi's whereabouts, and we'll join forces to kill him!
Feng Guo Wu Hen: That's right. You are also an enemy of Yan Chou. There's no need to follow those damn rules. Killing people from the Yan family is our ultimate goal!
Ning Jing Zhi Yuan: @Wang Shi Ru Yan @Wang Shi Ru Yan @Wang Shi Ru Yan @Wang Shi Ru Yan!!!
Other group members also chimed in, demanding that the group leader reveal Yan Shouyi's location. Otherwise, if they continued to wait like this, Yan Shouyi would clear out the entire group.
After much heated discussion, the group leader finally appeared.
The group leader slowly replied: Yan Shouyi just sent me a message saying he won't be farming experience points for the time being. Does anyone know what farming experience means?
Everyone was shocked.
That scoundrel Yan Shouyi actually treated them, his enemies, as low-level monsters in a game that give experience points?
Upon reflection, it made sense. Yan Shouyi just stayed at home, while they traveled long distances to offer themselves up. Wasn't that farming experience?
Yan Shouyi's words, though not physically harmful, were extremely insulting. Many in the group immediately felt provoked, vowing to chop off Yan Shouyi's head and use it as a toilet bowl!
The few active big shots couldn't hold back either, constantly questioning the group leader about the situation.
Feng Guo Wu Hen: So that kid decides to stop playing, and what about us? We're here for revenge, not for playing house!
Wang Ba: Exactly! Is revenge something that kid can just stop at will? Please tell that kid that we don't agree!
Ning Jing Zhi Yuan: Aren't you two being led into a trap by Yan Shouyi? What are you talking about telling him? The most important thing is to get the group leader to reveal Yan Shouyi's whereabouts!
Wang Ba: Damn it, I'm so angry I'm losing my mind. You're right. Group Leader, hurry up and reveal Yan Shouyi's location!
However, after everyone had been making a fuss in the group for a long time, the group leader directly went offline, infuriating the big shots.
To verify if the group leader was truly not monitoring the chat, they quietly sent out several red envelopes. Seeing that the group leader did not grab any red envelopes, they finally believed that the group leader was busy.
Normally, if there were any red envelopes in the group, the group leader would be the first to grab them.
Helpless, they could only switch to other topics.
Ning Jing Zhi Yuan: Counting the days, the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony at Longhu Mountain is less than a week away.
Wang Ba: Heh, the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is just a stage for those famous sects to show off their disciples. It's boring!
Feng Guo Wu Hen: But this year's Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is different.
Wang Ba: How is it different? Isn't it still about disciples fighting, showing their faces, and taking home a few treasures? To inherit the position of Heavenly Master, one must possess the Dragon Tiger Secret Script. But no one has that thing. If it comes down to it and no one can inherit the position, what's the point?
Ning Jing Zhi Yuan: @Wang Ba, you don't know yet, do you?
Wang Ba: Know what?
Ning Jing Zhi Yuan: The Old Heavenly Master suddenly announced this year that he has a young disciple who has obtained the Dragon Tiger Secret Script, and this young disciple will participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony this year!
Wang Ba: ...Is that true? Don't joke with me!
Feng Guo Wu Hen: It's absolutely true.
Wang Ba: Damn, then I need to book my flight immediately! How can I miss such a grand event!?
Saying this, Wang Ba went offline, seemingly to book his flight.
Ning Jing Zhi Yuan and Feng Guo Wu Hen continued their conversation: I heard that this young disciple is not surnamed Zhang and was not trained by Longhu Mountain. It's just that he obtained the Dragon Tiger Secret Script elsewhere, was discovered by the Heavenly Master, and was brought back to Longhu Mountain. He was secretly taken as a closed-door disciple and trained for many years. The outside world knows nothing about it, not even the elders of Longhu Mountain know that the Heavenly Master has such a disciple.
Feng Guo Wu Hen: Indeed. Someone saw that young disciple before, but he was just sweeping fallen leaves in the Heavenly Master's courtyard, and no one paid him any attention. I never expected him to obtain the Dragon Tiger Secret Script... The Heavenly Master announcing this disciple's identity just before the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony shows he is fully confident in him winning the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony and inheriting the position of Heavenly Master!
Ning Jing Zhi Yuan: If that's the case, will the position of Heavenly Master really change hands? I don't know why, but thinking about this makes me feel like I'm in a different era.
Wang Ba: After all, that old geezer has been the Heavenly Master for almost a hundred years. He was the Heavenly Master when we were born, and he's still the Heavenly Master now that we're middle-aged.
Feng Guo Wu Hen: @Wang Ba, have you bought your ticket yet?
Wang Ba: I've bought it. I can't miss such an important event!
Quite a few people in the group also expressed that they would attend the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. The big shots immediately agreed to meet privately at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony venue, which would also be convenient for future revenge.
In fact, the members of the group might already know each other in reality, but they used alternate accounts, which is why they didn't know each other's identities.
After all, revenge is not something to be proud of, and there are people from both righteous and unorthodox paths in the group. Using alternate accounts to communicate helps avoid conflicts between the two sides.
Just as everyone thought the topic had ended, the group leader suddenly dropped another bombshell.
Wang Shi Ru Yan: Yan Shouyi is not accepting revenge because he is about to depart for Longhu Mountain to participate in this Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.
This statement was like dropping a heavy bomb into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves!
The group went silent for a full half-minute, after which it was flooded with messages.
Yan Shouyi is going to the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?
Isn't he from a folk sect?
What's the benefit for him to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?
And why would the group leader reveal his whereabouts at this time, making everyone seize the opportunity to kill him?!
This is completely inconsistent with the group leader's previous actions!
Those with simpler minds had already started planning their revenge.
Those who were slightly more astute were forming factions within the group, hoping to join others in assassinating Yan Shouyi.
As for the meticulous ones, they remained silent.
The group leader's notification was too strange, with too many suspicious points to count on two hands. They were worried that it might be a trap, and for a moment, they didn't dare to speak.
Could it be a trap?
What the hell is going on?
