Two major events had taken place in the game recently, shocking the entire player community.
The first was the server-wide announcement when Ao Jian obtained the Rule of Sword Will.
This event was like a magnitude 8 earthquake, completely shocking all the players.
The players were already familiar with the rules of the game announcement.
Usually, when a player obtained an inheritance or extremely rare treasure, it would only be a server announcement.
However, the server-wide announcement was different.
It was a game notification that rang simultaneously in all five servers. It was significant.
At this moment, even the newbie players clearly knew that Ao Jian had obtained something extraordinary.
Although they did not know what the Rule of Sword Will was, it must be something more valuable than any inheritance at this stage.
While the players were discussing about it, they also began to urge Ao Jian to quickly share the details of the interface in the forum so that they could enjoy it.
Ao Jian did not hide it and shared the details of his Rule of Sword Will on the forum.
After the players saw the detailed description of the Rule of Sword Will, they were completely excited.
At this moment, they understood that the man who once stood at the peak of the Beiqi Cheat Group had returned.
Not only did he not fall from the altar because of his failure, but he had also become a stronger existence.
The Beiqi players were very happy about this because the Cheat Group was the face of a server. The stronger the players in the Cheat Group, the more face they would have.
After all, when they were arguing with the players of other servers in the forum, they would often say, "Our Cheat XXX is so awesome, crushing your XXX, trash!"
The second event was the addition of the new NPC, Suiye.
Before Suiye joined the Beiqi camp, he was known as the bald mentor by the players. In the players' hearts, he was linked to opportunities.
At this stage, many players had successfully comprehended the sword will with the help of Suiye and could be considered to have stepped into the threshold of a sword cultivator.
However, the players always thought that the bald mentor would disappear one day. After all, there was no long-term opportunity in the game. Hence, they were very eager to find him and learn the method of condensing sword will from him.
However, the players did not expect that the bald mentor would actually join Beiqi and become a part of the Mansion of the Dead.
This news was definitely a joyous occasion for the Players.
Who said that there was no free lunch in this world? Wasn't this free opportunity to become stronger delivered to their doorstep?
However, just when the players thought that they could comprehend the sword will from the bald mentor for free, another building appeared in the Mansion of the Dead.
"Suiye Sword Mansion!"
Upon entering the sword gym, the first thing the players saw was the eye-catching price list hanging on the wall. It was densely filled with the elective courses for various sword wills.
At this moment, the players had mixed feelings.
Damn it, I've learned another bad thing!
Naturally, the players assumed that the bald mentor was just like Tong Gua and the others. They had been corrupted by the stench of money and were no longer pure.
Many players who hadn't received the lesson were in tears when they heard the news.
When he stepped into the Kendo Pavilion and personally saw the exorbitant soul coins on the price list, he couldn't hold back his tears.
This selfless "gardener" still fell at the feet of money in the end. This was too f * cking realistic.
At this moment, the players couldn't help but think of the Wood Spirit Race.
When they first joined the Beiqi Camp, the Wood Spirit Clan provided free medical treatment for the players. Furthermore, if the players wanted to drink Wood Spirit Wine, they could just ask for it. The pure and kind ladies from the Wood Spirit Clan would serve them the wine that they brewed themselves.
As long as one's skin was thick enough, one could get anything they wanted in the Wood Spirit Race, except …
Compared to the past, all the services provided by the Wood Spirit Clan were now linked to soul coins.
If one had no soul coins and wanted to suck up to the services of the Wood Spirit Clan, the fierce ladies from the Wood Spirit Clan would twist the top of one's skull off mercilessly.
Even the newbie players who joined the battle did not believe that the greedy ladies from the Wood Spirit Clan were calculative. Apart from their good looks, they were once very pure and kind.
They thought that it must be a story made up by the old players to deceive the newbies.
However, after witnessing the selfless bald mentor, Suiye, step onto the wrong path, some of the players who joined later felt a dull pain in their hearts. They had the same mentality as the old players when they saw the changes in the Wood Spirit Clan.
This evil soul coin, why isn't there enough to spend …
Although the players were very sad that Suiye had completely changed, they still had to obediently fork out soul coins to buy lessons and attend the lessons regularly if they wanted to learn the Sword Will cultivation method.
Among them, the one who benefited the most was naturally Lu Wu.
He didn't expect Ao Jian to bring back a Godly State Master. His existence had a very important impact on the development of the players' forces.
Especially during the current period of the Sword Will cultivation craze, it could significantly increase the combat power of the players.
Since Suiye opened a sword gym in the Mansion of the Dead, Lu Wu, as the mastermind behind the scenes, would naturally get a cut.
The price was not low. Most of Suiye's income went into Lu Wu's pocket.
This time, Lu Wu obtained another way to earn soul coins without doing anything.
At the same time, there was another piece of news that made Lu Wu very happy.
The players of the Naraka server had finally built their own stronghold and successfully occupied a small area in the region where they were located. They no longer needed to wander around.
Lu Wu generously allocated a sum of soul coins for the construction of the main city of the Naraka server.
After all, it had been almost four years. Even the Feifei server had its own main city in the Xuanfeng Region. However, the Naraka server was still wandering around. Lu Wu couldn't stand it anymore.
However, such a huge difficulty also brought opportunities for the Naraka server to develop. There were also many benefits.
At this time, after years of development, the overall combat power of the Naraka server could compete with the European server.
Of course, Reinhardt, who had a demigod mount, was a special exception.
According to the current development trend, it was inevitable that the Naraka server would surpass the European server.
This was a fact that the European server players had to admit even if they didn't want to. In this regard, they could only think of ways to develop their own player forces and strive to continue suppressing the Naraka server.
Now, the European server players had found a very good way.
That was to follow the original players and freeload experience and soul coins.
After tasting the sweetness a few times, the European server players generally had this mentality.
Don't ask if there were any benefits. Seeing that the original players were moving out in large numbers, they could just freeload and be done with it.
The healthy competition of the five servers indirectly increased the motivation of the players to become stronger. Everything continued to develop in a good direction.
…
While the players were developing, the Sea King was also meeting his own turning point.
Previously, when the Netherworld branch of the Devouring Sea started a war with the players, the Sea King thought that he had to make a decision and take a gamble. He would help the players in the battle against the Netherworld branch of the Devouring Sea.
However, he didn't expect that the battle would turn into a war of gods. In the end, even the Netherworld Swordsman fell.
Not only did this exceed the Sea King's imagination, but it also exceeded the expectations of the Netherworld Headquarters.
In this regard, the Netherworld Headquarters had already mobilized manpower to prepare for war with the Player Clan.
However, this preparation could not be completed in a short time.
According to the usual situation, once there was a force in the outer sea that resisted the Netherworld Merchant Guild's trade rule, the headquarters only needed to send a few gods to deal with it.
However, this battle was different because even the Netherworld Swordsman had fallen in this battle. This was enough to prove the strength of the opponent. They had to be fully prepared.
However, this preparation required a lot of time.
This was because most of the headquarters' combat power was scattered in various resource points in the central sea. If they did not prepare in advance and mobilized manpower on a large scale, they would definitely be discovered by the enemy forces. It was very likely that the enemy forces would take advantage of the Netherworld Merchant Guild's weak defense to plunder a large amount of resources that belonged to them.
Moreover, the higher-ups of the Netherworld Headquarters were still not sure how strong the Player Clan was and how many people they should send to wipe them out.
Therefore, everything could only be done slowly.
As a super force that had stood tall in the Netherworld Sea for a long time, the Netherworld Merchant Guild's strategic vision had always been looking to the future. They would not make impulsive decisions because of a huge loss at the moment.
This was also the reason why the Netherworld Headquarters did not launch an all-out war against the players after the Netherworld Swordsman's death.
The Sea King was happy to see the headquarters' silence.
After all, it was a great thing for him to freeload on the Netherworld Merchant Guild's resources and maintain a good relationship with the Player Clan.
What surprised him even more was that the higher-ups of the Netherworld Merchant Guild were all escorted to the central sea as punishment and turned into slave labor.
In other words, the higher-ups of the Netherworld Merchant Guild in the Netherworld Merchant Guild were about to be replaced with new blood.
To the Sea King, this was a rare opportunity.
With the Netherworld Headquarters' order, Elder Ying became the Guild Leader of the Netherworld Merchant Guild.
However, the problem was that Elder Ying had long disappeared. No one knew if he was dead or alive.
In other words, the higher-ups of the Netherworld Merchant Guild in the Netherworld Merchant Guild were a blank slate.
Other than the emissaries from the headquarters stationed here, no one could order the Sea King who was the 'War Merchant Guild'.
Even if the emissaries from the headquarters wanted to order the Sea King, they had to get the approval of the Devouring Guild Leader. They did not have the authority to do so.
However, the problem was that the Devouring Guild did not have a Guild Leader at the moment.
According to this system, no one could restrain the Sea King.
Moreover, according to the rules, the Sea King, as a member of the War Merchant Guild, had more authority than the middle-level officers of the Devouring Guild.
In other words, the Sea King was now the highest authority in the Netherworld Merchant Guild.
However, the middle-level officers of the Devouring Guild did not admit this. They believed that the War Merchant Guild and the Devouring Guild were two different organizations. Now that the higher-ups were not around, they should not interfere with each other.
However, the Sea King had his own excuse to interfere.
The reason was safety.
When the top ten War Merchant Guild and the higher-ups of the Devouring Guild were still around, they were extremely powerful. However, without them, the Netherworld Merchant Guild was not even as strong as some of the nearby sea forces.
How could the Sea King miss such an opportunity?
He ignored the protests of the Devouring Guild's officers and forcefully entered the Netherworld Merchant Guild.
The Sea King, who had learned to be shameless from the players, gave an irrefutable reason.
I'm protecting you!
Even the Sea King himself did not believe this reason, let alone the middle-level officers of the Devouring Guild.
In the eyes of the middle-level officers, even if the Devouring Guild opened its doors, no force near the Devouring Guild would have the courage to harm them.
To this, the Sea King gave his own explanation.
It was better to be safe than sorry. After all, the Devouring Guild had accumulated such a large amount of resources in the sea. Who knew, some force might be jealous and risk offending the headquarters to plunder.
Therefore, for your safety, as a member of the War Merchant Guild, I must protect you!
Faced with the Sea King's righteous reason, the middle-level officers of the Devouring Guild could not refute.
The Sea King had said everything they could. What else could they do? They could only endure!
After entering the Devouring Guild, the Sea King did not waste his authority.
The first step was to mobilize a large amount of resources to build high-level warships.
The middle-level officers of the Devouring Guild strongly objected to this decision. They thought that the Sea King was wasting important resources.
However, the Sea King's reason was the same.
Building so many high-level warships was a waste of time and effort. It was all to protect you!
The middle-level officers of the Devouring Guild hated the Sea King for abusing his authority. They cursed him for being shameless, but they could not do anything to stop him.
This was because they could not mobilize the Sea King with their authority, let alone remove him from his position.
Although the Sea King could not mobilize the middle-level and lower-level officers of the Devouring Guild, he was still able to suppress them in terms of authority.
During the development of the Devouring Guild, the Sea King was completely shocked by the huge amount of resources.
He had never seen such an abundance of resources in his life.
Sea spiritual materials, sea treasures, sea spiritual beast cubs, sea spiritual ores, etc …
In order to obtain these resources, the Sea King began to come up with excuses.
If they lacked warships, they would build high-level warships to arm their own Mu Te Navy. The reason was that they wanted to become stronger to protect them. They had no selfish motives!
If they lacked cultivation resources, they would plunder a batch of sea spiritual materials from the Devouring Guild for the soldiers' cultivation.
For this reason, the Sea King even spent a large amount of spiritual materials to set up a "Spiritual Cultivation Formation" on the island of the Devouring Guild. He allowed the soldiers to cultivate there permanently. The reason was still to become stronger and to protect the officers.
If they lacked sea beasts, they would directly adopt a few of the most valuable beasts from the spirit beast enclosure …
If they lacked armor, they would take a batch of spiritual ores from the resource warehouse …
Thus, the Sea King began his lawless days. In short, he would take whatever he lacked.
Moreover, his reason was very valid.
The hearts of the people outside are unpredictable. Who knows, they might be gathering their strength in preparation to rob us. As the only member of the War Chamber of Commerce, I have to shoulder the heavy responsibility and protect your safety.
In the end, the Sea King shamelessly added another sentence.
Even if I die, I will not let any harm come to you!
The Sea King had completely lost his stern and rigid image as the overlord of the sea. He had been completely led astray by the players.
The emissary from the headquarters who was stationed there saw the Sea King's various decisions.
Although he was speechless, he did not stop him.
This was because his mission was to report the development of the Devouring Guild to the headquarters. He would not interfere with any development issues.
However, just as the emissary was about to report the recent happenings in the Devouring Guild to the headquarters, something happened that changed his opinion of the Sea King.
