After the explosion of the Mansion of the Dead, Lu Wu didn't immediately start the restoration of the Mansion of the Dead.
Lu Wu had thought about it carefully before doing so.
After all, the crisis of the Land of the Nine Luminaries had not been resolved yet. The difference in strength was obvious. It was easy to rebuild the Mansion of the Dead, but it was too difficult to defend it. It was very likely that the Land of the Nine Luminaries would be invaded again.
Therefore, Lu Wu simply activated the random resurrection mode of Naraka for the players. Although it couldn't unite the players' strength, it could make them invulnerable.
Moreover, Lu Wu also gave the players hope by activating an ultimate mission. After the players conquered the Land of the Nine Luminaries, the Mansion of the Dead would be officially restored.
The restoration mission of the Mansion of the Dead and the unlocking mission of the NPC resurrection undoubtedly excited the players because it meant that they could regain everything they had lost by winning the war against the Land of the Nine Luminaries. Therefore, the players were extremely serious about conquering the Land of the Nine Luminaries.
Moreover, apart from regaining everything they had lost, they could also reap huge benefits from this war.
Apart from soul coins, the rich spiritual mines in the Land of the Nine Luminaries were also coveted by the Beiqi players.
At this stage, the profession advancement of the blacksmith had been fully activated. Spiritual mines had become a more scarce consumable item than spiritual materials. Therefore, conquering the Land of the Nine Luminaries was crucial to the development of the players.
Hatred and benefits were the driving force for the players to fight against the Land of the Nine Luminaries.
To motivate the players, Lu Wu also activated the team resurrection point leaderboard. He also stated that the top ten thousand teams would receive a special title as a reward after the end of this mission.
The destruction of the Mansion of the Dead and the death of the NPCs had given the players nothing to worry about.
At this moment, the crazy side of the Fourth Calamity Legion was displayed once again. With the team as the base, they began to attack the Land of the Nine Luminaries non-stop for 24 hours.
At this time, in the south of the Land of the Nine Luminaries, the Myth Guild led by Gu Yu was ambushing the frontline stronghold of the Nine Luminaries.
Although they didn't have any advantage in terms of numbers, the members of the Myth Guild had great teamwork and complemented each other. This brought a lot of pressure to the soldiers of the Nine Luminaries who were stationed at the stronghold. Even if they could retreat for a while, the thousand-man team would come again in a few hours, making them miserable. As more and more soldiers died, the stronghold was slowly being eroded …
At the Boiling Valley station in the west of the Land of the Nine Luminaries, two figures were moving around the station like ghosts. Whenever they found an opportunity to attack, Murphy and Little Pomelo would jump out from the shadows and give their enemies a fatal blow.
Even though the death of the soldiers had alerted the garrison troops in the base, in the face of Little Pomelo and Murphy's flawless assassination, even the few Ghost Commander Level commanders in the base had no way to deal with it. They could not find any traces of the assassins at all, and could only continue to withdraw into the defensive perimeter of the base …
At the western border of the Land of the Nine Luminaries, Ao Jian wielded nine swords at once. The piercing sword qi created a storm of swords with him as the center. With such a violent attack, he continuously reaped the lives of his enemies and killed all the members of the lookout team stationed at the western border.
In the hills to the east of the Land of the Nine Luminaries, Tang Mu danced with the flow of time as he was besieged by the soldiers of the supply escort team. He reaped the lives of his enemies in such a gorgeous manner.
Even though it was a massacre, it did not feel bloody at all. The blood of the enemies was like blooming flowers, sending their own blessings to their dance.
The supply escort team of more than ten people did not last long before they all fell under the gorgeous attack.
Looking at the boxes of spiritual ores, Tang Mu smiled because he needed the support of the spiritual ores to level up his flow of time. This was what he needed the most apart from experience points.
In addition, Qi Ming, Ye Xue 'er, Chen Ziyu, Liu Chai, and countless other players were using their own methods to declare the arrival of the fourth disaster to the Land of the Nine Luminaries!
…
Land of the Nine Luminaries, Dark Heaven Pavilion.
It was still a familiar scene, except that two of the seats had lost their owners.
The rest of the seven brothers were very quiet.
Sun's death was a huge blow to them.
Originally, they thought that with the strength of the Ghost Emperor Sun in the early stage and the military support they sent out, it would be more than enough to take down Beiqi. However, the outcome was beyond their expectations. Even though they won, they paid a heavy price.
They had endured for tens of thousands of years, but in just a few months, two of their brothers had passed away. Obviously, they could not accept this fact.
"I really want to know how Third Brother died. With his strength, even if he met an enemy that he could not defeat, he should have no problem escaping!" Xing Yao's gaze swept across the few brothers present as he asked with a gloomy face.
"I've asked the Deputy Commander who led the team. No other forces appeared in the battle with Beiqi this time. Moreover, if a strong enemy did appear, why did the soldiers come out unscathed? Only Third Brother died!" Flame's eyes flashed with anger as he spoke in a low voice.
"Only Lie Shan, only he has the strength to kill Third Brother!" Jin Yao gritted his teeth as he heard that.
…
After listening to his brothers' analysis, Xing Yao suddenly snorted coldly.
"It can't be Lie Shan. Based on my understanding of Lie Shan, there's no way he would only kill the Glorious Sun if he really did it. With his personality, he would definitely kill every single one of the Nine Luminaries' army. There must be other reasons!"
"The deputy commander of this expedition mentioned that the entire Mansion of the Dead had been reduced to ruins in this battle. At that time, it was Third Brother who led a group of soldiers to launch a surprise attack on the Mansion of the Dead. Everything was supposed to be very successful. Along the way, the forces of Beiqi chose to retreat because of the loss of the Mansion of the Dead. But that's where the problem lies. Why was the Mansion of the Dead, which was supposed to be taken down by Third Brother, suddenly destroyed? Since all the soldiers who went with Third Brother to the Mansion of the Dead are dead, we can't find out what happened in the Mansion of the Dead at that time! "Shui Yao, who had been silent all this while, suddenly analyzed.
"Could it be that apart from Lie Shan, there's another powerful guardian hidden in Beiqi?"
"It can't be a guardian. You have to understand that even if a guardian of Beiqi like Lie Shan attacked, it's impossible for him to destroy the entire Mansion of the Dead. There must be someone else."
Xing Yao's words made the brothers fall into silence again.
Yes, if it was a guardian who helped the forces of Beiqi defend against foreign enemies, then why did he destroy the Mansion of the Dead? But if it wasn't an existence who helped Beiqi defend against foreign enemies, then why did he kill Sun?
Sun's strength had already reached the Ghost Emperor Realm. The enemy who could make him stay and kill him must be extremely powerful. The Nine Luminaries Brothers felt that they had never offended such a terrifying existence.
Even when Lie Shan was still around, they chose to befriend him instead of making him their enemy.
They had climbed to the pinnacle of power in the Underworld step by step, so they knew very well how to conduct themselves and avoid danger.
All the problems seemed extremely contradictory. Just like the players, the Nine Luminaries Brothers felt that something was wrong the more they thought about it, but they couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Finally, His Excellency Xing Yao couldn't sit still anymore. He decided to investigate it himself, and at the same time, he asked his brothers to prepare the military force to go to Beiqi after he returned.
At this stage, the constant harassment from the forces of Beiqi had pushed them to the limit. Since the war had already begun, they might as well go all out. His Excellency Xing Yao was already prepared to lead the army to attack.
After giving the order to prepare for war, His Excellency Xing Yao flew out of the Dark Heaven Pavilion and headed straight for Beiqi.
Sun's death was too strange. Before attacking Beiqi, Xing Yao felt that it was better for him to figure out the situation, in case there was an unexpected situation that he couldn't handle.
After flying for a few hours, Xing Yao's figure appeared in the sky above the Mansion of the Dead.
Looking at the huge crater below him, Xing Yao's falling figure froze as he felt the aura of a Precept.
It was the power of the Dark Precept!
Although it was very thin, Xing Yao still noticed it instantly. Moreover, the aura of the Dark Precept came from the crater below him.
After staring at the crater in silence for a while, Xing Yao's figure flashed as he turned around and flew toward the Land of the Nine Luminaries.
At this moment, Xing Yao had a guess. Sun's death might have something to do with the deities of the Underworld.
The power of the Dark Precept was obviously not something that a Ghost Emperor Realm like them could fully master. However, the place where Sun died had a thin aura left after the explosion of the Dark Precept. All of this made Xing Yao suspicious.
However, Xing Yao was sure that Sun had never offended a deity-level powerhouse before. There was no doubt about that. After all, how could he still be alive and well if he had offended a deity?
Hence, Xing Yao's guess was that Sun's death was related to a deity who happened to pass by the Mansion of the Dead. For some reason, Sun had angered this deity who had mastered the power of the Dark Precept. Hence, he took action and wiped out the entire Mansion of the Dead.
This conclusion could also be verified by the fact that Yue Yao had successfully become His Excellency of Beiqi.
If Beiqi really had such a powerful guardian in the dark, why didn't he take action when Yue Yao became His Excellency?
With this conjecture, Xing Yao's mood became extremely complicated. The strong desire to avenge Ri Yao in his heart gradually faded away.
Although Sun was his brother, there was no chance of winning against a deity even if all the forces in the Land of the Nine Luminaries joined forces. This was not revenge, but death.
While he was thinking, Xing Yao flew faster and faster …
After returning to the Dark Heaven Pavilion, Xing Yao told his brothers about his speculation when they questioned him.
His brothers' reaction was the same as Xing Yao's. They fell into silence because they clearly understood that it was too unrealistic to seek revenge from the deity of the Underworld. They couldn't do it at all.
"Big Brother, what about Beiqi?" Huo Yao couldn't help but ask.
"Maybe the deity was just passing by. He can't be the guardian of Beiqi. Otherwise, Yue Yao wouldn't have become His Excellency so easily. So, we'll continue with our plan and attack Beiqi!"
Upon hearing Xing Yao's words, the remaining six brothers nodded their heads vigorously. They only had one thought in mind now, and that was to attack Beiqi and use the blood of all the living beings in Beiqi to comfort their two deceased brothers.
Although all of this had nothing to do with the forces of Beiqi, Yue Yao and Sun had died for the sake of becoming His Excellency of Beiqi. At this moment, Beiqi had become an eyesore in the eyes of the nine brothers.
After that, the brothers left and began to deploy their troops, preparing to attack Beiqi.
The news of the Land of the Nine Luminaries preparing for war and preparing for another attack soon spread among the players. Faced with the possibility of another invasion, the players didn't respond this time.
Now that the Mansion of the Dead had been lost, it didn't matter to the players whether the Nine Luminaries' army came or not. What they had to do was to use their advantage to wear down the Nine Luminaries' army and build up their advantage bit by bit until they were strong enough to swallow the Nine Luminaries.
Therefore, when the Nine Luminaries' army arrived in Beiqi again, they realized that no force in Beiqi came to stop them.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Land of the Nine Luminaries' defense was weak, the players launched a frenzied attack.
