The Town of Kui.
It was a small town in the north that had very few resources. There were very few people there, and not many players were born there. However, it was precisely because of this barren land that practically no one would set up a sect branch there.
Many of the allied sects in the north were very unwilling to pass through this godforsaken place.
The Town of Kui was a dead town.
Even the players who were born in the Town of Kui thought so. Most of the players chose to wander the world of martial artists within a month. Only a handful of people stayed quietly in the town due to certain reasons, and their qi realms were only average.
There were too few lively places in the town.
Only an open-air pergola and a restaurant near a weapon shop and a commission shop could be considered the most popular place in the town. Every day, more than ten people could be seen there. The other places were very gloomy at night.
On that night, the town was incredibly lively.
There were at least seventy people gathered in the restaurant. Happy laughter, curses, and drinking orders rose and fell. Their voices traveled far into the distance, and even those who stood outside the town could hear them in the wilderness.
"Haha! Silver Extinguisher! We used to do odd jobs in the same shop. Even though we're not in the same sect, and we're no longer in the same sect right now, we're still fellow townsmen and colleagues. You ran away later on, and now, you've come back looking like a dog. I'm still doing odd jobs in the shop, and when I'm done with work, I'll play for a while. Urk, haha!
A man with a face full of pockmarks was already drunk in the restaurant. He got up and toasted a man sitting at the table at the center of the hall.
"Cheers!"
A man with a built smile stood up. His wine cups clinked against each other, and without another word, he drank three cups in a row.
Silver Extinguisher was a player who walked out of the Town of Kui.
He could be considered to have succeeded in his wanderings in the game, and his abilities were pretty good. He joined the strongest sect in the north, Class One Hall, and became an outer sect disciple.
Silver Extinguisher had originally intended to never return to this place!
Unfortunately, due to the Emperor's Announcement quest, Class One Hall did not have a good time on the plains, and everyone was sent back. He and a group of people were arranged by the hall master to guard the place for a few days. The higher-ups said that it was to prevent the people from the four sects from sneaking out of the north.
After drinking three cups, Silver Extinguisher wiped his mouth and gasped for breath.
"You pockmarked man, I told you to come with me, but you didn't listen. What's the use of guarding those things of yours … Ugh! If you want to do something big … you have to look far ahead. "
I'm just playing the game for fun. I don't want to be ordered around in real life, and I'll be ordered around in the game as well. In the game, I can do whatever I want and scold whoever I want … By the way, you guys have set up a branch in the Town of Kui. Don't tell me you're planning to stay here forever? "Pockmark reeked of alcohol, but his words were very sober.
At this moment, the thirty or so local players at the table pricked up their ears and looked over.
The Town of Kui had always been a dead town, and there was not much activity in it. However, three days ago, the greatest faction of power in the north, Class One Hall, suddenly set up a branch in the town.
Even though it was only a small branch encampment, the number of troops stationed here was a lot for a poor place like the Town of Kui, which only had a population of around a hundred.
There were at least three hundred people …
It caused the population of the Town of Kui to instantly increase by 400%!
The local players, who had been hoping for more people in the town, suddenly felt uneasy.
Class One Hall was powerful!
If Class One Hall intended to stay in the town for a long period of time, they would definitely have to live a life where they had to rely on others, and their lives might be even more difficult.
Hence, this time, Silver Extinguisher invited all the people he was familiar with to drink.
They just wanted to find out what Class One Hall intended to do and whether there were some unknown resources in the Town of Kui.
Silver Extinguisher naturally knew what these people were thinking.
"Don't worry." Silver Extinguisher cast him a sideways glance in annoyance, bent his body, and sat down. "Would Class One Hall be interested in your lousy assets?"
"Then why did you come here this time?"
Pockmark was a little more clear-headed now, but he still looked a little uneasy, as if he was the landlord of the Town of Kui.
"I don't know what you're so nervous about. There are no crystals or metals in a circular area of dozens of miles, and there aren't any resources either. There aren't even any plot-related characters. My friends are so bored that we can only drink and chat here. I can't stay here for even a day!" The person beside Silver Extinguisher was unable to hold himself back. "Don't worry, we'll only stay for two or three days. Once the Emperor's Announcement event ends, we'll leave! At that time, none of you will be willing to stay for even half a second! Sex … "
"…"
Pockmark and the group of local players exchanged a slightly relieved glance.
But soon, someone asked curiously.
"Why must we wait for the Emperor's Announcement event?"
"That's right." A few local players in the Town of Kui looked as if they were wondering if there was a connection between the two events.
"Don't ask about that. It's a secret!"
Silver Extinguisher became impatient.
The people in the Town of Kui were basically cut off from the world of martial artists. They lived in paradise and lived as hermits who provided for themselves. It was normal for them not to know the reason.
But …
Not all the people in the Town of Kui were ignorant.
"I can tell at first glance that you don't care about the matters in the world of martial artists."
"This place guards the path leading to the coastal port from the plains, and there are hundreds of Class One Hall members standing in the wild. They're definitely here to serve as sentries."
"Sentries? Who? "
"Who else? Of course it's Mu Clan, which Class One Hall is wary of. There's no point in talking to you about this. Come, let's drink! Silver Extinguisher might not come back in the future. We won't have the chance to kill him today! "
"That's true …"
The group of people raised their cups.
At that moment …
Silver Extinguisher and the Class One Hall members' ears twitched. They seemed to have heard something, but since the sounds of people drinking and playing finger-guessing games in the hall were too loud, they did not pay attention to it.
Half a minute later, a man with pretty good equipment staggered into the hall with a pale face. His eyes were filled with anger.
"You're still drinking?! Our friends outside the town are almost all dead! "
The Class One Hall members' expressions changed at the same time. They got up from their seats and left.
Silver Extinguisher's heart let out a loud thump.
'This is bad!'
He could tell at first glance that the person who came was the leader of the sub-branch who was in charge of patrolling the wild. He was also the vice branch master of the branch.
Silver Extinguisher's face was pale, and his lower body was unsteady. All the signs showed that he should have just revived in Guanlin Temple not too far away.
The local players in the Town of Kui could not fight against an elite who had a full set of grade one masterpieces at the fourth echelon.
The only explanation was …
Mu Clan came!
"That's not right. I heard from the people on the plains that the four sects are preparing to ambush the camp tonight. How could they —"
Silver Extinguisher rushed forward and asked anxiously.
"Enough with the nonsense!" The vice branch master rebuked him repeatedly with an unpleasant expression.
"All our friends outside should be dead! Hurry up and help them! The hall master has given orders! Even if all of them die, you must investigate the situation of the people from the four sects! Which sects? How many people did they send?! "
Right when he finished speaking, a mocking voice came from the depths of the silent and dark street in the town.
"You don't have to investigate anymore. I'll tell you."
A few men with the word "Mu" sewn on their chests and dressed in night attire walked into the group's field of vision.
