Chapter 1 Lanxi Pavilion

Lanxi Pavilion was the first guild to recognize Lord Grim's potential, the first to ask for Lord Grim's help in setting records, and naturally also the first to express interest in recruiting Lord Grim. Any guild, once aware of talent like that, would not remain indifferent.

But as it turned out, Lanxi Pavilion became one of the biggest victims of Lord Grim's influence. Regardless of their relationship, Chen Yehui believed that Lanxi Pavilion was now filled with resentment, and even more eager than Tyrannical Ambition to salvage the situation. Who would have thought that their rejection would be so swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation?

The firmness in their tone made it impossible for Chen Yehui to say any provocative words. He felt that Lanxi Pavilion's calm and resolute attitude didn't seem impulsive or cowardly, but rather a decision made after carefully weighing the pros and cons.

"Could they know that Lord Grim is Ye Qiu?" Chen Yehui wondered.

He would never reveal the information that Lord Grim was Ye Qiu. The deterrence of Ye Qiu's strength wasn't even the main reason. After all, this was a game. If five couldn't beat you, they'd send ten. If ten wasn't enough, they'd send twenty. If twenty wasn't enough, they'd just send a hundred! No matter how skilled or technically good you were, you'd eventually be swarmed to death.

Chen Yehui wouldn't reveal Lord Grim's identity, and he was even more afraid of Ye Qiu's reputation. A ten-year veteran! An idol in the hearts of countless Glory fans! If he revealed it, Chen Yehui was afraid that a bunch of experts would run over to shine Ye Qiu's shoes and become his lackeys, and then turn around and stomp on him. Especially in his own guild, Excellent Dynasty, he dared not say a word. Ye Qiu's fans would only be more numerous and more loyal there.

So in the end, he could only harbor doubts about Lanxi Pavilion, and didn't dare to test them in any way.

Fortunately, the guilds that had gathered were, in his opinion, enough.

This time, he wasn't just trying to vent his anger on Lord Grim; he wanted to destroy Ye Qiu's team directly. Taking out his anger on Ye Qiu was Liu Hao's personal grudge. Chen Yehui was now acting more out of business concerns. If he didn't destroy this team, his all-out attack plan in the tenth server wouldn't be able to proceed smoothly.

He had already experienced the combat power of Ye Qiu's team firsthand. The strength of Lord Grim, Soft Mist, and Steamed Bun Invasion left him with lingering fear. But this time, they had more people, and they had divided and surrounded the enemy. Everything seemed to be going smoothly. Chen Yehui listened to reports from his subordinates and rushed over to help with a few people. When he arrived near Livelihood Land, he saw players from various guilds running around in a chaotic manner, but he didn't know where their target was.

"Where are they?" Chen Yehui saw his own players in the crowd and went over to ask. He ignored the others, because although he was the president of the guild, he was nothing in the eyes of other guild players. If he ran into a die-hard fan of Tyrannical Ambition, who secretly attacked him, he wouldn't be surprised. Chen Yehui didn't doubt that at all. This cooperation was just to make it easier to deal with Lord Grim and his group. There was no intention of holding hands and becoming good friends.

"They went into the room, left and right," the Excellent Dynasty player said, seeing that the president had arrived.

"Then what are we waiting for? Surround them!" Chen Yehui said.

"We are surrounding them..." the player said helplessly, while also turning the camera to look at the chaotic scene. That's right, they were surrounding them...

"Everyone from our guild, come over here!" Chen Yehui didn't try to command the overall situation, but rather summoned his own brothers.

When the people from Excellent Dynasty saw the president arrive, they naturally gathered around him.

"You two stay here, the rest of you come with me." Chen Yehui left two of his subordinates behind, a tactic that other guilds didn't use. Other guilds were just a bunch of brothers running together. If you went left, I wouldn't go right, never separating.

People had already rushed into the rooms on the left and right.

"They're not in the room!" someone shouted.

"Nonsense!" someone immediately scoffed. Of course they wouldn't be in the room. They went into the room, then jumped over the wall, using the blind spot to escape.

The players inside the room wanted to jump out of the window quickly, but they didn't have the precise control of professional players. Some bumped into the window, while others got stuck. Those who came in weren't all from the same guild, so those who got stuck in the window were naturally ridiculed by people from other guilds. The more cautious ones quickly retreated back out of the door.

The others on the outside went around to the back of the house, but they didn't find any trace of Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist or Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash.

"Quick, quick, quick!" the players shouted, and continued to run forward frantically, thinking that the two had taken the opportunity to run further away again.

No one expected that right under their noses, in the abandoned house sandwiched between the two dilapidated houses on the left and right, Cleansing Mist and One Inch Ash were quietly squatting in the corner.

Cleansing Mist slowly moved to the broken hole in the wall and secretly glanced outside.

"Hehe, they've all been fooled. As expected, they've become accustomed to our usual escape methods." Su Mucheng sent a message to Qiao Yifan.

"They don't have proper coordination, so I think they'll fall into this trap," Qiao Yifan said. He was good at observing, including observing his teammates and opponents. He had seen the other side's scattered and uncoordinated pursuit. He was sure that no one was coordinating them.

So he and Su Mucheng came up with this plan. They had been using blind spots to escape all along, once, twice, three times, leaving that impression on the other side.

So in such a suitable terrain, they suddenly made a change. They no longer ran, but chose to hide.

After passing through the broken houses on the left and right, the two immediately jumped into the middle house through the gap in the wall, and quietly hid in the corner.

Right under everyone's noses, no one noticed. Even if someone had casually passed by this broken house, they would have discovered the two, but no one did.

Everyone was in a hurry to get past the three houses blocking their view, and then see which direction the two had gone.

"Let's go." Su Mucheng called to Qiao Yifan. Of course, they couldn't hide here forever. After chasing out for a while without seeing anyone, the other side would definitely search around. The two just wanted to take this opportunity to escape in the opposite direction.

Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash immediately moved towards the door of the room, but he quickly retreated after showing only half of his body.

"There are still people outside..." Qiao Yifan sent a message to Su Mucheng.

"Huh?" Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist also quickly came to the door.

"I'm sorry, Sister Mu..." Qiao Yifan was very fearful. This escape plan was mostly his idea. It was rare for him to be so confident, but he found that there were still people guarding behind. He made a mistake in his judgment, and Qiao Yifan was immediately annoyed and fearful.

"It's okay, charge out!" Su Mucheng said, and her character had already flashed out of the room. The two Excellent Dynasty players Chen Yehui left behind were right behind them. In fact, Qiao Yifan's judgment was not wrong, but he didn't expect that at this time, the other side would have new players arriving, and that Chen Yehui, a president-level figure, would be there.

The newcomers naturally didn't have the habitual thinking formed by chasing all the way, and Chen Yehui was the one with the authority to command. Qiao Yifan's design was formed through a series of arrangements, and it was naturally useless to those who were outside the situation.

When the two saw Cleansing Mist rushing out, they were slightly stunned. When they reacted, they quickly sent a message. Cleansing Mist's cannonballs had already flown over. The two quickly dodged, but they didn't expect Su Mucheng's anti-tank missiles to be in three directions. If they hadn't dodged, it would have been fine, but now, they each took a hit.

The smoke from the artillery fire had not yet dissipated, and One Inch Ash had already rushed in front of one person. He used a Ghost Slash, and the person quickly jumped back to dodge. One Inch Ash quickly followed up with a Moonlight Slash, and this person couldn't keep up with his reaction this time. He was lifted into the air by the Moonlight Slash. After the Moonlight Slash, the Full Moonlight Slash was almost a subconscious operation for every Ghost Swordsman. Qiao Yifan was no exception. The following Full Moonlight Slash lifted the person even higher. Then, the gunshots rang continuously. Cleansing Mist swept the sky with a Gatling gun. This guy tumbled, unable to land for a long time.

The other player wanted to come to support, but he didn't expect the rhythm here to be so fast. By the time he arrived, Qiao Yifan's Full Moonlight Slash had just finished, and he was waiting for him. A few simple normal attacks were enough to knock him down. With a wave of his sword, a Blade Formation was released. Cleansing Mist had also entered the range of the Blade Formation. Laser Cannons, Cannonballs, Anti-Tank Missiles... The various high-burst skills of the Launcher were even more powerful with the blessing of the Blade Formation. Qiao Yifan used several slashes as soon as his skills cooled down. It was a pity that the two players had not attacked at all since they were hit by the Anti-Tank Missile at the beginning, and they had not even moved properly. They were either tumbling in the air or eating dirt on the ground. After a while of silence, they were already two corpses.

Chen Yehui received the message from the two who stayed behind, and immediately called out, leading the Excellent Dynasty players back first. The other guild players were stunned when they heard the shout. They had no commander, so they basically followed the crowd at this time, and quickly rushed back. As a result, when they rushed back to the front of the house, they didn't see anyone.

"Where are they?" Chen Yehui sent a message to the two.

"Where are they?" the other guild players were asking Chen Yehui.

"They're dead..." The two answered quickly, but Chen Yehui couldn't answer the other players' questions for a while.

"Everyone, look for them separately..." Chen Yehui looked around and said helplessly. There were so many dilapidated houses, broken walls, dry wells, and dirt pits here. It was impossible to see anyone hiding in any corner with just a glance.

"What are you looking for?" The players from the other guilds didn't even know what had happened here, and cursed in confusion.

"The two of them were hiding in the middle house just now. They took advantage of our going to the back of the house and rushed out from the front, killing two of my brothers. Now I don't know where they're hiding." Chen Yehui was also quite upset, but he had to patiently explain to those who were questioning him.

After this was said, everyone had no choice. What else could they do? Look for them!

Everyone scattered in all directions to find them, but they didn't know that Cleansing Mist and One Inch Ash had returned to the broken house, jumped out of the window, and played another round of reverse psychology with them.
