Beiqi, Mansion of the Dead.
A figure glided down from the sky and landed in the palace of His Excellency.
This instantly attracted the attention of the people inside. However, when they saw who it was, they were no longer as calm as before.
At this moment, Yue Yao's clothes were ragged and there were many wounds on his body. There was even blood at the corner of his mouth. He looked very weak.
"My King, what happened!" General Crescent Moon saw this and quickly went forward to support Yue Yao.
Yue Yao's face turned ferocious when he heard this.
Just now, he had fallen out with his brother, Huo Yao, and a fight broke out.
Logically speaking, his brother Huo Yao only had the strength of a Ghost King in the later stage, so he was no match for him.
However, at this moment, the three brothers, Ri, Chen, and Mu, were on Huo Yao's side.
According to them, Yue Yao could not provide enough evidence to prove that it was Huo Yao who had robbed this batch of resources. Moreover, they had grown up together and knew Huo Yao very well. Yue Yao believed that he would never do such a thing.
At this moment, the conflict was completely intensified. Yue Yao was fighting against four people alone.
The rest of his brothers, including His Excellency Xing Yao, were only trying to stop the fight but did not help Yue Yao.
At this moment, Yue Yao understood one thing.
However, after he left the Land of the Nine Luminaries, there was already a gap between him and his brothers. Although they were still close, they still had to consider their own interests. Hence, Jin Yao and the others did not help him from the beginning.
The eight of them were still a whole, but he was His Excellency of Beiqi. They were no longer a family.
At this moment, Yue Yao was a little disheartened and angry.
He did not hold back in his subsequent attacks. Even though he was fighting against four people alone, he did not fall into a disadvantageous position and even had an absolute advantage.
Faced with this situation, something unexpected happened. His elder brother Xing Yao actually gave up on blocking the energy attacks from both sides and helped Huo Yao and the others to defend against his attacks.
Although Xing Yao was still shouting words like "stop" and "stop", he was on Huo Yao's side.
Since his elder brother had made his choice, the others who were originally hesitant naturally followed suit.
In fact, Xing Yao was still trying to stop the fight. However, he was only defending his own attacks and not the attacks from Huo Yao and the others. Everything seemed to be biased.
Hence, he was defeated, completely defeated.
Because they were brothers, Xing Yao did not kill him. He only sighed and told him to leave.
From Yue Yao's point of view, Huo Yao was the culprit. It was his greed that caused the rift between the brothers. However, the other seven brothers stood on Huo Yao's side in the end. He couldn't stand the humiliation and returned with serious injuries. Yet, he was already plotting revenge.
He wanted Huo Yao dead!
In the face of General Crescent Moon's inquiry, Yue Yao's face darkened.
"We'll talk about this later. I need to rest!"
As he spoke, he turned around and entered his own room in the palace.
The people outside looked at each other. General Crescent Moon's face was full of worry and anxiety, while the leaders of the other factions were very calm.
No one was happier than Liu Chai.
This was because he had just analyzed Yue Yao's panel and discovered his current status.
[Yue Yao (Late Ghost Emperor)]:
Character Details: Former Lord of the Land of the Nine Luminaries. Later, he went to Beiqi under the discussion of his brothers and took over the position of His Excellency of Beiqi.
Character Status: Heavily Injured (Getting Worse)
In fact, even Liu Chai did not expect Yue Yao to return with severe injuries.
Initially, provoking the relationship between the brothers was only the beginning of the plan. Later on, they would continue to create conflicts to intensify the conflict. However, it was obvious that things had gone beyond their expectations.
Hence, Liu Chai quickly sent Yue Yao's information to the forum.
Crayon _ Shinchan: "Damn, we've deviated from the plan. Wasn't Huo Yao supposed to be injured? Why did it become our Boss Yue Yao instead? Calling the director, let's see what we can do. (laughing emoji)"
Watermelon _ Taro: "The plot has deviated from the right track. Calling the director @ Yin Xiaoqi is a Mature Lady!"
Xueli _ The _ Strongest: "Boss Yue Yao is actually injured. I seem to have found an injured little yellow chick screaming that it wants to turn into soul coins and experience points. (laughing emoji)"
Invincible _ Loneliness: "Why don't we kill him? This is a great opportunity! "
Peppa _ Boar: "It's indeed an opportunity. I originally wanted to create a conflict between the nine brothers, but now it's obvious that Boss Yue Yao is being rejected by the other eight brothers. The script is ruined. (laughing emoji)"
Assassin _ Creed: "Where's the director? Come out and arrange a new plot. (laughing emoji)"
Yin Xiaoqi is a Mature Lady: "There's nothing to play with. Obviously, the brothers are biased towards Yue Yao because he was separated from the family. Now, Yue Yao's original value is gone. (helpless sigh)"
Crayon _ Shinchan replied to Yin Xiaoqi is a Mature Lady: "What should we do, director? (laughing emoji)"
Yin Xiaoqi is a Mature Lady replied to Crayon _ Shinchan: "I suggest we kill him. (sincere look)"
…
The reason why the players allowed Yue Yao to take over the position so easily was because they wanted to make use of the relationship between him and his brothers to create a conflict within the Land of the Nine Luminaries. However, it was obvious that this key chess piece had lost its purpose.
Meanwhile, Director Yin Xiaoqi had also given a solution. At this moment, the players' mentality had changed.
Soon, a large number of players gathered in the direction of His Excellency.
The players' idea was simple. Take advantage of his weakness and kill him.
Although General Crescent Moon noticed the players' unusual behavior, he thought that they were just curious and didn't think too much about it.
After all, Liu Chai had pledged his soul to him, and they were in the same boat. It was impossible for them to betray him.
Just when General Crescent Moon was observing the unusual behavior of the players, Liu Chai and the others opened the door of Yue Yao's room and walked in.
Their appearance immediately alerted Yue Yao. While he was healing himself, he immediately opened his eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
"Boss Yue Yao, who did this to you?"
"We'll talk after I've healed myself. Get out of here first!" Yue Yao said coldly.
"I'll bring my men to the Nine Luminaries to avenge you!" Liu Chai suddenly turned around angrily.
Seeing this, Yue Yao was anxious. He knew Liu Chai's character very well. Since he dared to say such words, he would definitely bring his men to the Land of the Nine Luminaries.
Although he had broken up with his brothers, it wasn't the time for the two regions to fight yet. Otherwise, the power of Beiqi wouldn't be a match for the Land of the Nine Luminaries.
Moreover, Xing Yao and the others still cared about their brotherhood. However, if Beiqi dared to take the initiative to attack, the situation would be different.
Thinking of this, Yue Yao forcefully cut off the circulation of the soul power in his body and quickly rushed toward Liu Chai.
Just as Yue Yao's figure passed through the Rock Ghost King and the Hydra King, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. The moment he lowered his head, he found that the Hydra King's arm had turned into a giant python and was about to bite him. Meanwhile, the Rock Ghost King's arms had turned into tree vines that tied him up.
"Pfft!"
The snake's head bit his chest and injected poison into him, causing Yue Yao's body to tremble.
At this moment, Liu Chai suddenly turned around and punched him in the face.
"Bam!" Yue Yao fell to the ground.
"How dare you betray me!" Yue Yao was in disbelief.
After all, he had personally seen Liu Chai, the Rock Ghost King, and the others swear to the Six Paths of Reincarnation with their souls. If they betrayed him under the witness of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, their souls would be destroyed.
However, regardless of whether it was Liu Chai, the Rock Ghost King, or the Hydra King, the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation did not descend upon him despite their attacks.
In the outside world, the players continuously poured into His Excellency's palace.
General Crescent Moon was shocked by this scene. He immediately yelled angrily, "What are you doing? Get out of here!"
The players ignored him and did not stop at all. There was even a group of players who separated from the crowd and ran toward him.
After Yin Xiaoqi revealed the final plan, the players knew that the scenario was about to end. What they had to do next was to reap the fruits of their labor.
Apart from the treasures that they had brought back, the existence of Yue Yao and his army could be erased from the Land of Beiqi.
Countless players surged and completely surrounded His Excellency's palace.
This was their only chance. Yue Yao was seriously injured. If they did not succeed this time, they would not have another chance in the future. Yue Yao, who had recovered his strength, was not someone they could keep.
A large number of players swarmed in and attacked General Crescent Moon and the soldiers of Yue Yao's army.
The sudden attack caught General Crescent Moon off guard. He struggled to break free from the encirclement and ran toward His Excellency's palace. He wanted to ask Liu Chai what was going on.
However, when he got inside and saw the scene inside, he was completely dumbfounded.
At this time, Yue Yao was kneeling on the ground. His body was entangled by vines and pythons, and he could not move at all.
They betrayed me!
This thought suddenly appeared in General Crescent Moon's mind, but he realized it too late.
At this time, battles were breaking out in all areas of the Mansion of the Dead.
The soldiers of Yue Yao's army who were wandering in the Mansion of the Dead were attacked by the players to varying degrees.
At this moment, the Calamity Army revealed their fangs that were hidden behind their allegiance. At this critical moment, they bit Yue Yao's neck and launched a fatal attack.
At this moment, Yue Yao was severely injured and his Soul Power had been forcefully cut off. He looked extremely weak and was struggling against the Rock Ghost King and the Hydra King's attacks.
One had to admit that even though Yue Yao, a Ghost Emperor in the Late Stage, was in such a sorry state, he was still very powerful. He broke free from the Rock Ghost King's vines several times and tried to escape. However, Rock Ghost King gritted his teeth and persevered. At the very least, there was one thing that gave him absolute confidence.
He couldn't die, and he could resurrect just like the players.
Driven by this undying motivation, the Hydra King and the Rock Ghost King tried their best to restrain Yue Yao and prevent him from escaping.
General Crescent Moon's appearance undoubtedly gave Rock and the others a sense of crisis. Fortunately, the players behind them had already caught up. They immediately surrounded General Crescent Moon and launched an attack.
The 2,300,000 soldiers of the Yue Yao Army would have to face the siege of the entire Beiqi Force, which was more than ten times their number. Any form of resistance would be akin to a deathbed struggle.
The Underworld was destined to be sleepless that night.
Massacres continued to take place in various areas of the Underworld.
Soul coins, experience, equipment, and resources.
This was a carnival for the players, but it was also a sad song for the Yue Yao Army.
When the first ray of morning light rose from the east of Beiqi, everything had settled down.
The Underworld, which belonged to the safe zone, was restored to its original state by the artifact. There were no corpses on the ground, nor was there a trace of blood. It was as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, in the Underworld, Yue Yao was lying on the ground with his eyes half-closed. He looked at the sunlight on the horizon with a self-deprecating expression.
At this moment, he understood everything.
His brothers had never betrayed him, nor had they robbed him of his resources. Everything was a trap, and he was like a chess piece that had stepped into the chessboard. He was only following the ideas of others and walking step by step to the position that he thought was right.
And now, it was time for him to be killed!
"Yue Yao, from the moment you wanted to take over Beiqi, you were destined to fail!" Liu Chai couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the dying Yue Yao.
Although they were enemies and Yue Yao had always been using him, they had been in contact for a long time. In Liu Chai's eyes, Yue Yao was already a living being. He couldn't bear to kill him just like that.
However, he knew that Yue Yao had to die!
If he didn't die, the players would never have a day of peace.
"Can you tell me how exactly did you do it? You swore on your souls! "Yue Yao asked the question in his heart as death approached.
The Rock Ghost King and the Hydra King looked at each other and smiled.
At this moment, a server announcement was heard.
[Server Announcement: The Rock Ghost King has officially become an NPC of Beiqi]
[Server Announcement: The Hydra King has officially become an NPC of Beiqi]
[Server Announcement: The Ghost General Demon City has officially become an NPC of Beiqi]
[Server Announcement: The Ghost General Earth Wolf has officially become an NPC of Beiqi]
…
Upon hearing the server announcement, Liu Chai turned his head and looked at the Rock Ghost King and the others in surprise.
"How did you do it?"
"We asked Tong Gua for the oath. We swore our loyalty, and from now on, we're really one of us!" the Hydra King put his hand on Liu Chai's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Hey, you still have to rely on me to open up the profession of alchemist in the future. This is the hidden plot. Now that you've met the requirements, it's activated," the Rock Ghost King grinned.
Although Yue Yao couldn't understand what they were talking about, he could feel that they seemed to be very happy.
"So this is the real you, Liu Chai!" Yue Yao said weakly. Then, he couldn't help but cough out a pool of blood.
"I'm sorry, Boss Yue Yao. You're the one who invaded Beiqi first …"
"Say no more. The winner takes all. This is the law of the underworld … I understand!" Yue Yao's condition was getting worse and worse. He looked like he was in a trance.
"Are you the same as them? Have you swore your soul to someone else?" Yue Yao asked at the last moment of his life.
Liu Chai shook his head. Then, a smile appeared on his face.
"I'm different from them. I'm a player and also a natural disaster. I'm not bound by the law of the underworld!"
At this moment, a ray of sunlight shone on Liu Chai's face. Half of his face was instantly covered by a hazy halo. He stared at Yue Yao who was lying on the ground in a daze.
