Wind Following Sword revived in Congee City.
He didn't drop any equipment or items, but the 10% experience loss was quite painful. However, what made him even more depressed was the turn of events in the battle. He originally thought that he would be able to steal back the Christmas thief that Han Yanrou had stolen. How could he have known that there would be so many problems? In the end, not only did he die, but none of the brothers who had rushed over to help him survived as well.
Everyone in the city revived in the same location. Not long after Wind Following Sword returned, he saw his brothers in the guild appear next to him one after another.
They stood there in a daze. For a long time, they didn't say anything.
Not only did he fail to step on someone, but he was also stepped on. This was undoubtedly a very maddening thing.
Go and get back at them?
Wind Following Sword didn't dare to think about it with just these few people in front of him. After all, he knew that Lord Grim was Ye Qiu. Of course, he also knew that Cleansing Mist was Su Mucheng. Not to mention, that Han Yanrou was so strong. Just these few people? The team wipe just now had already told them the answer.
Having fewer people wouldn't be of any help. They could only rely on more people. If they wanted more people, they could only rely on the guild. But right now, everyone in the guild was doing Christmas quests. Wind Following Sword's previous action was just a momentary thought. He didn't discuss it with Chen Yehui. Chen Yehui also didn't tell him what to do if he encountered Ye Qiu or his companions.
As a result, Wind Following Sword had acted on his own initiative and made a mess of himself. Right now, he didn't even know how to explain it to Chen Yehui.
The others next to him also didn't say anything. These people weren't close friends of Wind Following Sword. They were just in the same hunting team as him, so they would always be near him. After Wind Following Sword discovered that Han Yanrou was very difficult to deal with, he had carefully gathered them over. In the end, he had brought his own death.
"Lord Grim really is amazing!" Someone finally spoke up.
"Indeed." Wind Following Sword hastily agreed. Exaggerating Lord Grim's strength could alleviate these people's resentment towards him for calling them over!
"If I had known, I would have recruited more people," someone said.
"I didn't see him in the beginning!" Wind Following Sword hastily tried to clear his name. But he wasn't wrong. When he was recruiting, he hadn't seen Lord Grim yet.
"What do we do now?" someone asked.
Wind Following Sword was also thinking about this problem. How could he just go back and do a quest without doing anything? It was one thing for him, but the key was that he had no way of explaining himself to his brothers. But if they were to make things difficult for someone, that was Ye Qiu! With just these few people? Wind Following Sword had zero confidence.
"Call a few more brothers!" One of them was clearly indignant and wanted to get back at him.
Right when he was about to reply, he received a message. Wind Following Sword opened it and saw that it was from guild leader Chen Yehui: "What's going on?"
"You already know?" Wind Following Sword felt awkward. In the new server, when they were fighting for levels, they were in the limelight, yet he had caused a team wipe. He had lost experience, lost morale, and lost face. He had done the exact opposite of what everyone was trying to do.
"I'm talking about it in the guild chat!" Chen Yehui replied.
"What!" Wind Following Sword had completely forgotten about this matter. He immediately checked the guild chat. Sure enough, his brothers were indignantly talking about it! No wonder they hadn't said anything when they had revived. They had all gone to the guild chat.
"I met Han Yanrou … …" Seeing that even the guild leader knew about it, Wind Following Sword explained it. He emphasized that at that time, he had felt that he had a 90% chance of winning, which was why he had acted. He didn't think that Han Yanrou would be so tenacious and hold on for so long. When he realized that it was troublesome, he had called for help. In the end, they had also called for help. In the end, their team had been wiped.
"How could the few of you be a match for him?" Chen Yehui said.
"Yeah … …" Wind Following Sword was depressed.
"That Ye Qiu really does cause trouble wherever he goes!" Chen Yehui said.
"Yeah yeah!" Wind Following Sword agreed, while feeling a bit puzzled. Cause trouble? It seemed like he had been the one to cause trouble first, but he had been the one to counterattack. They were all on the same side. Why was the guild leader protecting his own identity?
"Have you seen the Christmas Hunter rankings yet?" Chen Yehui asked.
"I've seen it. We're far ahead." Wind Following Sword said.
"I'm talking about the individual rankings. The Level 31-35 rankings." Chen Yehui said.
"Oh?" Wind Following Sword heard this and immediately flipped to the first page. The top 20 rankings made Wind Following Sword feel refreshed. On the Hunter rankings, a character's information was displayed. Name, gender, class, level, guild, and finally, points.
What made Wind Following Sword feel relaxed and happy was the Guild tab. Out of the 20 players, Excellent Dynasty occupied the top 15. Among them, he was ranked 9th.
Wind Following Sword obviously knew why they were able to occupy the top 15 spots. It was because they had purposefully created it. For example, Wind Following Sword and the six people beside him. Their small team would gather as many Christmas thieves as possible onto him. In the end, he would easily occupy the top spot. As for the other fourteen people, all of them were the same.
Excellent Dynasty's manpower advantage in this battle in the tenth server was finally revealed. The other guilds had some first-rate players in Sin City, but they definitely didn't have as many players as Excellent Dynasty.
The current Excellent Dynasty was relatively weak in the Heavenly Domain because all of their experts had run over to the tenth server.
In the Heavenly Domain, the competition between the guilds was at a stalemate. In a short period of time, there was no way to break the balance. As a result, Chen Yehui decided to stake it all on one throw. He increased his investment in the tenth server and created a leading position here. He wanted to use this opportunity to recruit new players to strengthen himself.
Currently, things weren't going smoothly. Even though they had taken down Frost Forest, Liu Hao didn't help them anymore. After that, the one in the limelight was Lord Grim. Chen Yehui had been clenching his teeth the entire time! It was just that before, he had schemed against Lord Grim out of anger. But after Liu Hao wisely withdrew, Chen Yehui also understood. Now, when he made a move, he would weigh the pros and cons. He would no longer fight based on personal feelings.
"Flip to the eleventh page and take a look." Chen Yehui messaged Wind Following Sword.
Wind Following Sword opened the eleventh page. He immediately understood what the guild leader wanted him to see.
Lord Grim, ranked 218th.
"This guy's jumping up so quickly!" Wind Following Sword also understood what this meant.
"Not bad. About an hour ago, he wasn't on the leaderboards. But now, he's already charged up to 218th. Even though he's still quite far away from us, I've calculated his points. But I calculated the momentum of his rise. If he continues to maintain this speed, in three hours, he will push us down from the fifteenth place. Also, I don't need to tell you who Cleansing Mist is on the fourteenth page, right? It's only a matter of time before she jumps up. But at least we don't need to worry about her. If it's her, I'm afraid she won't have the time to maintain this record. But it's hard to say for that guy. "Chen Yehui replied.
"But … … even if he pushes his way up, we'll still have the majority!" Wind Following Sword said.
"You still don't understand? As long as he pushes his way up, the entire tenth server's public opinion will shift. No one will care about how outstanding our record is. Everyone will only focus on Lord Grim and push us down. Look at those dungeon records. Second place isn't as good as first place, but can you say that second place is bad? But what about the tenth server? Every record that he stepped on was considered to be very bad! The entire guild was immediately treated as trash, unable to raise their heads. How could there be such a thing in the other servers? This bad trend is all because of him. "Chen Yehui said.
"So you're saying … …" Wind Following Sword somewhat understood Chen Yehui's intentions.
"So we definitely can't let him climb up the leaderboards. We definitely can't let that rat shit spoil our pot of good porridge."
Chen Yehui's message was powerful and resonating. Wind Following Sword could see Chen Yehui's determination. He was one of Chen Yehui's close friends in the guild. He knew about Chen Yehui and Ye Qiu's past and knew about his resentment towards Ye Qiu. This time, Chen Yehui had sorted out the pros and cons quite clearly. But wasn't there some personal grudges mixed in? Was it because of those personal grudges that he didn't want to turn back?
Wind Following Sword didn't ask. Perhaps this was even better. They could take care of their personal grudges.
"What do you think we should do?" Wind Following Sword asked.
"I'll give you some people. You take care of it. We don't have to fight. We just have to hold him back. You think of a way! "Chen Yehui gave this task to Wind Following Sword for a reason. Wind Following Sword's craftiness was well known in the Heavenly Domain. Against Ye Qiu, fighting him head on wasn't a wise decision. It was a waste of time and effort and could even cause him to suffer. Wind Following Sword was a very suitable person for this job. Even if Ye Xiu went out himself, he might not have as many tricks up his sleeve as Wind Following Sword.
"Okay, I'll take care of it!" Wind Following Sword also wanted to vent his anger. He had a lot of confidence in playing these tricks. It was true that Ye Qiu was a top tier God, but he had played pro matches for so many years. Those were matches where the goal was to win. He didn't have any other thoughts. But in the game, it wasn't as simple as a match. Wind Following Sword was determined to let this top tier God have a taste of the game's wisdom and methods.
Thinking of this, Wind Following Sword opened up the Christmas Hunting Leaderboards and took a look.
Wow!
In just a few words, Lord Grim's ranking had risen again. He had been 218, but now he was 211.
There was no time to waste! He had to hurry and take action.
Wind Following Sword rushed towards Sin City while contacting the people Chen Yehui had assigned to him.
