As the Emperor's Birthday quest came to an end, World of Martial Arts, which had been bustling for a while, gradually returned to peace.
Three days after World of Martial Arts Secret News Log revealed all sorts of secrets in the game, the robbery and murder of the landlords on the Rich Rank finally came to an end.
However …
The real world of martial arts was gradually revealed with the quest.
First, the bounty system of various sects and clans appeared.
All the players who died in the hands of others would have their deaths recorded by the system of their masters and sects, and the murderer's information would be published on the bounty list. The people in the sect could accept quests at any time to seek revenge.
Those who succeeded in taking revenge would not only receive extra money as a reward, they could also accumulate reputation points in the sect. However, most people would invite their senior brothers and sisters they were familiar with to take revenge on them, because once their reputation points reached a certain level, they could trigger secret quests that were given by the higher-ups in the sect.
Hence, the appearance of the bounty system and revenge quests gradually formed a cycle of sects being hostile to each other and killing each other for revenge!
Later …
More people revealed in the reputation system of their sects that once their reputation points reached a certain level, they could trigger the high-tier martial arts quest system in their sects, and it was just a matter of time before they could become famous people on the Dragon Rank and Phoenix Rank!
This news caused all of World of Martial Arts to become even more chaotic and proactive.
…
However, there were a handful of people who did not go and work for the revenge quest system.
Most of them were elites who had obtained at least one high-tier martial art. At the very least, they could be considered as top-class elites in the current game.
In this storyline mission, they were the ones who benefited the most from it!
There were professional players, guild members, and solo players who had developed quite well during the early stages of the game. Naturally, they would not be like normal players and continue wasting their precious time and advantages on the resources they already had.
While their advantages were still obvious, they would explore and develop the empty and unclear regions in World of Martial Arts so that they could discover and build up more advantages. This was what they were currently most anxious about and desired.
Among them, the ones with the greatest momentum were Class One Hall, Towering Palace, and Chivalry Sect.
Class One Hall.
Hall Master Dream Clouds was rumored to have obtained an unnamed low-grade divine weapon from the storyline quest. She named it Dream Clouds, and it was ranked third on the Divine Weapon Rank!
It was an armor that was unique and had surpassed the level of masterpieces — Colorful Phoenix Robe. It was ranked seventeenth on the Divine Weapon Rank.
Also, it was rumored that the two vice hall masters under Dream Clouds had each obtained a divine weapon, and both of them had entered the top ranks of Divine Weapon Rank. They could be said to be the three monsters of Class One Hall.
Towering Palace might not be as famous as Class One Hall, but they were a sect formed by a group of veteran professional players. Their numbers and strength covered most of the cities in Jiangnan, and they gradually revealed their strength. Even Class One Hall did not dare to underestimate them.
The last one was Chivalry Sect. They relied on a group of players who had the power of top-class players to build up their power. They considered themselves to be a righteous sect, and their ability to gather people was great. They fought against many famous sects in the game and engaged in bloody battles. Their fierce fighting style, fearlessness toward death, and bloodthirstiness made them subjugate many sects in the coastal area.
Ever since the Emperor's Birthday Quest ended, the three great sects gathered the resources they had and expanded madly. They continued searching for information and secret quest resources from the cities around them.
Famous quest locations such as Fox Cave, Ancient Palace, Emperor's Mausoleum, Five Venoms Valley, Blissful Cave, Infinite Sword Lake, and Skyward Peak appeared before the players through the internet.
However …
These places were only revealed because even the three great sects could not conquer them.
…
At the entrance of Fox Cave in Immortal Fox Village.
The full moon hung high in the sky, and the stars were dim.
Countless players had gathered at the small mountain behind the village. There were so many people that it was hard to tell who was with whom. They were densely packed in the rather flat and spacious forest. Even the nearby tree trunks were filled to the brim with players, who were either standing or sitting on top of each other.
At the center of the large group of people was a huge stone that stood tall in an empty spot where there were no trees or leaves to cover it. When it faced the bright moonlight that shone down from the night sky, its entire body shone with a strange and mysterious white color.
As time passed …
The huge white stone seemed to be absorbing the essence of the world. Faint changes began to appear on its surface, and the strange patterns on it turned from a dull black to a dark red.
Mechanisms!
Or was it the effect of an illusion?
No one knew.
But …
The instant the gigantic, white stone transformed, the players sitting around it revealed looks of pleasant surprise, and they all stood up simultaneously.
"The moon is full."
"Prepare to move!"
However, behind the group was a player with three drops of blood embroidered on his robes. He stared at the incredibly excited players in front of him, and a barely noticeable mocking expression appeared on his face.
Fox Cave.
Even though someone had already verified that there were high-tier martial art manuals in there and that it also produced a large number of middle-grade equipment materials, Fox Cave was not as easy to clear as they imagined!
Even the people from Class One Hall had to pay an incredibly devastating price to enter the second level of Fox Cave. Then, they had to return empty-handed. There was no way the flies who came because they heard the news would know about the brutality in Fox Cave.
When they saw many Gate Realm players and players dressed in coarse clothes appear in the crowd, the derision and mockery in their eyes became even greater. 'What do they think this place is?'
"…"
There were also some people in the crowd who were not shocked or delighted. Their expressions were calm as they stared at the huge white stone that was continuously changing. There was only solemnity and sternness in their eyes!
"Everyone, be careful," someone in the crowd warned them softly.
"Before you enter the cave, activate your body fortification and qi realm. Once you enter the hall, do not move."
"…"
The group nodded quietly.
Right when he finished speaking, delighted shouts rose from ahead of them. "It's open!" "Hurry up and enter!" The shouts quickly attracted all the players' attention and gazes.
They saw …
The huge white stone that was originally at the center of the crowd had completely changed. It had turned into a savage and terrifying statue that had been hollowed out. It was the skull of a fierce beast, and there were blood-red patterns all over it. Two balls of strange white light shone in its eye sockets, and it looked as if it had come to life. It opened its huge mouth and welcomed the players to enter.
It was the entrance to Fox Cave!
The players in the area gasped in amazement at how terrifying the entrance to Fox Cave was. When the players behind them urged them to enter, they did not hesitate and quickly rushed into the mouth of the beast that was more than two feet tall.
Once they entered the beast's huge mouth, they would immediately disappear without a trace, as if they had been teleported away.
Groups of people quickly disappeared into the beast's mouth!
Soon, more than half of the people around the entrance of Fox Cave disappeared.
However, there were a few small groups that did not take any action. They just quietly allowed the large group of players to quickly enter Fox Cave. When the area around them became empty, they looked at each other.
'Enter!'
More than one hundred Blessed Realm presences rose from the small groups. Then, the sound of heavy breathing, which was used to strengthen the body, rose. Body fortification was activated.
