Li Xiang and Ming Xu successfully obtained the Gemini Territory.
However, Duli's death also caused quite a stir. The two of them had just returned to the Human's Light when they were summoned to the director's office. There were already three players from the Sky Devouring Winged Clan waiting for them there.
Caitlin sighed softly. She didn't expect that her kind introduction would ruin things, causing Li Xiang to clash with the Sky Devouring Winged Clan at this time.
The middle-aged leader had always been known for his craftiness when he was in charge of the territory application. She didn't expect him to give Li Xiang and Ming Xu special treatment. He actually gave them the Gemini Territory that Duli had coveted for a long time.
The three Sky Devouring Winged Clan players had different expressions. They were all shocked when they received the order from the Sky Devouring Winged King.
Duli, who had been nurtured as an important descendant, had a mental breakdown after returning from the Great Wall of Calamity. He could no longer fight against the calamities. The Sky Devouring Winged King purposely placed this beloved descendant in the Frost Continent, hoping that he would recover one day and return to the family.
Unfortunately, Duli became more and more abnormal in the Frost Continent. In the end, the family simply didn't care about him anymore. However, the Sky Devouring Winged King always had a glimmer of hope. Now, this hope was shattered by two Level-1 players who had just advanced!
Even though Duli's mental state was severely damaged, he was still a Level-2 Summoning Magician. He was also an elite among the elites. However, he was still killed by the two of them. From the traces left behind at the scene, it was a one-sided battle.
To be honest, the three of them were even more reluctant to take over this hot potato after seeing Ming Xu and Li Xiang's information. One of them was the only successor of the Dong Ling family, and the other was the son of the evil leader, the leader of the new Polar night organization. Neither of them was easy to deal with.
However, who asked them to side with the Sky Devouring Winged Clan? They had received so many resources from them. Now that something had happened, it was naturally up to them, the outsiders, to clean up the mess.
"According to the twelfth rule of the players, infighting without any special reason …" One of the players braced himself and read the "Player Rules" in his hand.
"Just say it. What does the Sky-devouring Winged King mean? We're all in a hurry, aren't we?" Li Xiang dug his ears. This "Player's Law" was just for show. If they really wanted to convict someone, they would have to go through the joint review of the five Thrones and the three major forces.
"Young man, watch your words." Another player glanced at Li Xiang and spoke in an unfriendly tone.
"The conflict between the Sky-devouring Winged King and our new Polar night is well known to all. During the battle at Lighthouse Academy, he lost both face and power at the hands of the great Polar night Magician. He has long been at odds with us, so why do you have to beat around the bush like this?"
Li Xiang sneered and interrupted the player.
"You brat! How dare you … "The player was about to explode, but he was stopped by his companions.
The player who read the "Player Rules" earlier chuckled. "If that's the case, then let's get straight to the point. This time, we've come to Human's Light to pass on the orders of the Sky-devouring Winged King. Li Xiang, you killed the king's most beloved descendant. You must have thought about what kind of responsibility you'll have to bear. "
"Responsibility? Why should I bear responsibility? "Li Xiang raised an eyebrow." He deserved to die. I'm just sending him down a step earlier. "
"The Sky-devouring Winged King has already applied to the Kataszhaofei Committee to send you to the Great Wall of Calamity for a year to atone for your crimes." The player ignored his words and said word by word, "When you leave Human's Light, a special force will come to escort you to the Great Wall of Calamity."
"The application has been approved?" Li Xiang's expression did not change as he looked at Caitlin. The latter's expression was a little unpleasant, but she nodded slightly.
"Then Ming Xu doesn't have to go, right?"
"Yes, this has nothing to do with Miss Ming Xu." The player nodded, then clasped his fist and said, "We're just following orders. Please don't make things difficult for us."
"Got it. That's all." Li Xiang smiled, his eyes darting around. No one could tell what he was thinking.
"No!" Ming Xu took a step forward and was about to take out the anti-materiel sniper rifle Nirvana from the long zither case.
The three players immediately went into a defensive posture. The terrifying aura of disaster that erupted from Ming Xu at that moment made them mistakenly think that they were being targeted by a ferocious disaster!
If they had not seen Ming Xu with their own eyes, the three of them would have thought that a disaster had invaded Human's Light.
What a dense aura of disaster.
The leader of the players narrowed his eyes slightly, curious about the assassination tattoo she had obtained that could seal such a terrifying disaster.
"Please don't make things difficult for us, Miss Ming Xu." He repeated.
Ming Xu did not back down, but Li Xiang gently pressed on her shoulder.
Li Xiang had made his stand, so Ming Xu could only puff up her cheeks and retract her murderous aura.
"Since you're done, we'll take our leave." The three of them did not dare to stay for long. Other than Ming Xu, Caitlin's expression was not good either.
This was Human's Light. Causing trouble here was not giving face to this priestess.
The other party was also a Level-9 player, not weaker than the Devouring Wings King.
After the three of them left, Li Xiang let out a long breath and pulled Ming Xu to sit down.
He had already told Ming Xu everything. Ming Xu naturally knew about Caitlin's tarot card identity. She looked at Caitlin with an unfriendly expression, silently questioning her why she did not help Li Xiang.
"You were too rash this time." Caitlin shook her head. "No matter what the reason is, offending the Devouring Wings King at this juncture is not a wise decision."
"I know, but if I don't kill him … I won't be able to calm down." Li Xiang sighed. He actually had many ways to resolve this conflict, but when he remembered the middle-aged leader and his only son, as well as his children who had died in battle at the Great Wall, he could not bear to let this matter go.
"You're not just yourself anymore. You're now the leader of the new Polar night, the successor of the Polar night Magicians. Many people need your support. If anything happens to you, they will all die!" Caitlin's tone was heavy. "You have responsibilities on your shoulders. Sometimes you have to consider them."
"So what?!" Ming Xu, who was standing at the side, could no longer hold back his anger. He glared at Caitlin. "Li Xiang is Li Xiang. Why should he shoulder so many things? What's wrong with the new Polar night? They're not children. Do they need him to raise them? "
"Why should Li Xiang be responsible for their lives?" Ming Xu was like an enraged little beast. She growled in a low voice, protecting Li Xiang. "They deserved to be killed because they weren't strong enough."
Caitlin didn't know whether to laugh or cry after being scolded. She didn't expect that her words would ignite Ming Xu's explosives. She looked at the serious girl and suddenly smiled.
It was too stupid to talk logic with Ming Xu. She only had eyes for Li Xiang.
"Alright, let's not dwell on this. Since we've already done it, we should think about the follow-up." Caitlin knocked on the table, appeasing Ming Xu. Only this little tiger would dare to confront a Level-9 player like herself for Li Xiang.
"Speak. I know you'll give me a satisfactory answer." Li Xiang was not stupid. If going to the Great Wall of Disaster was a sure death situation, the big players behind him would definitely not agree.
Even if Night Shadow and the others were not at this level, since the Dong Ling Family could quickly remove Ming Xu from the matter, it meant that the Bai Family could do the same.
If the Bai Family was not willing to do it, he believed that the Dong Ling Family and the Yue Family would be happy to lend a helping hand. In the worst case, Cecilia was in charge of Wessex. She was his sister. With her personality, she would definitely not agree to such a suggestion.
Since it was approved, many big players must think that the matter was not so bad and did not want to make a big deal out of it.
"Actually, this suggestion was not made by the Sky-devouring Winged Monarch." Caitarina hesitated and said slowly, "When the news that you killed Du Li spread, the Sky-devouring Wing Clan would be humiliated, and the Sky-devouring Wing King would be humiliated. However, it's not that serious. The one who made this suggestion was … the Shield King. He made this decision in the Five Kings Council. The other four kings kept silent. "
"The Shield King?" Among the Five Kings, he was the only one who had the least interaction with him. However, during the Five Kings Council, he was the first to speak up for him. "He … did this to protect me?"
"It's really easy to talk to you. I only realized this after returning to the Human's Light." Caitlin looked at him approvingly. To be able to come to this conclusion from such a complicated situation, Li Xiang's judgment was far better than ordinary people.
This was also thanks to the terrifying calculation and analysis ability of the Machinery Heart, which allowed him to make accurate judgments at all times.
"The Shield King is protecting Li Xiang?" Ming Xu was confused.
"You little muddle-head." Li Xiang laughed lightly. "If it's against me, do you think you can escape since he has already made his move? Go against the Shield King or give up on a descendant. I think even King Dong Ling would choose the latter. The Five Kings have long lives. There will always be a chance for another descendant. Breaking the balance between them is the most irrational thing to do. "
Although it sounded cruel, it was the truth.
"You see, both of our identities are very sensitive. Although you are a descendant of the Dong Ling Family, you have my mother's organs in you. You could become her descendant at any time. As for me, there is no need to talk about it. There must be many more people who want me dead than want me alive. Now that we have shown our super strong ability to kill Owl, Kong Mu, and Duli one after another, I think they will not wait any longer. "
Li Xiang looked at Caitlin and said casually.
"And we just happened to run into the Level 9 Conscription Order, right?"
"Yes, this is the most important point. In a few days, we will be forcibly teleported to the new world. When that time comes, the Seven Continents will be leaderless. Those who are hiding in the dark will definitely make their move." Caitlin looked at him. This was also a problem that had been troubling her recently. She did not expect it to be so easily solved. "Even if the Level 7 and 8 players don't make a move, as long as Ji Zhanxue and the others want you dead, it will be difficult for you to survive. Unless you stay in the Rose Maids' headquarters."
"You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. I think the Shield King can see it clearly, which is why he suggested this. He might as well send me to the Disaster Wall that no one wants to go to. There are risks, but it's better than dying outside." Li Xiang sorted out his thoughts. "I wonder what the Shield King wants."
"Under normal circumstances, banishment to the Disaster Wall is the heaviest punishment. However, your situation is a little special, but it's not optimistic." Caitlin took out a document and explained, "There are a few possibilities for going to the Disaster Wall. First, as a player, going to the Disaster Wall to train. This is usually the suggestion of the family, and there are higher guarantees. You won't join the Night Watchers. If you're lucky, you can even just guard the wall. But even so, many people have died. Du Li and the famous Ji Shanhan father and son are the best examples.
"Second, permanent banishment. For example, Lieutenant General Kou Ruhai, who was forced to leave, was permanently banished to the Disaster Wall. He gave up his life and everything to become a Night Watcher. There will be no more Kou Ruhai in the Seven Continents. In the end, he could only die in battle. Third, your current situation is the same as the Night Watchers. For a year, you will be no different from a player who has been permanently banished. "
"In order to kill me, these guys are truly willing to resort to any means at all." Li Xiang sneered. Needless to say, the Disaster Wall must have agreed to this suggestion. Otherwise, the Devouring Winged King and the others would not have agreed to the Shield King's suggestion.
In a year, there were many variables. No one could guarantee that he would not die there.
"So this is a good thing, but also a bad thing. Your enemies will turn from hostile players in the human camp into disasters. They will be more difficult to deal with, but it will also train you. "Caitlin nodded." This is their biggest concession. "
"The Disaster Wall, huh … The first stop after becoming a player is there. Not bad. I have something to take care of." He still remembered that in the ancient capital of Loulan, the sealed item left behind by the Ji Yanqing's ancestor was still there. He could go there to find Ji Yanqing's third uncle.
Perhaps only a non-native like him would be curious about the Great Wall of Disaster and not fear it.
For most people, the Disaster Wall meant that they would be facing disasters directly. There was the risk of death at any time. Only magic users and players who had committed serious mistakes, or victims of political conflicts, would be banished there.
So far, no one had been able to go there and come back. Not even the Disaster Wall.
A year was too long.
"If you don't want to go, we have a way to overturn the suggestion. However, this might offend the Shield King. He hasn't said anything yet, but as you said, I think he must have something he wants you to help with," Caitlin said. "It's because of this that we dare to let you go. Since he's willing to help you, he naturally won't send you to your death."
Beep beep beep —
Speak of the devil.
Li Xiang took out his communication device. The Shield King had sent a message. He glanced at it, then smiled at Caitlin and said, "I'll go."
Ming Xu looked at him quietly. As long as it was his decision, she would support it. However, her eyes were a little red. She did not know when they would see each other again.
The two returned to their room. As soon as the door closed, Ming Xu hugged Li Xiang from behind.
"Idiot …"
