[You have received a secret letter…]

[To Akna, My Beloved, Signed by Andrew · Fabio]

Li Yi did not bother to check the contents. Based on the ‘title’ alone, Li Yi had already gotten a good grasp of the situation.

To think that the great Wizard was a two-timer…

The secret letter had not provided any hints. Li Yi pondered for a bit and decided to show the secret letter to Yuria.

“Young hero, what are you holding in your hands?” Yuria weakly opened her eyes.

Li Yi handed the secret letter over.

Yuria gave it a glance and fainted instantly.

‘She received a great shock…’

From a distance, Akna’s body began to turn into a cloud of black smoke, slowly dissipating in the air.

After approximately one minute, Yuria woke up. She ripped the letter to shreds and took out the purple INT ring. She tossed it to the air and launched an arrow at it.

“Crash!”

The purple INT ring shattered.

“He tricked me for 300 years…” Yuria let out a faint sigh as she covered her face and began sobbing.

“It’s been such a long time since then, let bygones be bygones. In the end, do the memories that were worthy and unworthy truly matter? Miss Yuria, may I know what you require of me?”

Li Yi activated Heart of a Clear Mirror and could sense that there were nearly a hundred Western Continent players in his proximity. He was getting anxious as he did not need to guess the purpose of their visit.

`I shouldn’t stay any longer, or else the situation will turn dire.’

Yuria shook her head, asking, “Young hero, do you know about Overlord Arrow?”

“I’ve heard of it.”

“Do you want to learn it?”

“You know how to use it?”

“Nope!”

Li Yi shook his head in exasperation.

“Although I do not know how to use it, I know someone who does. I assure you, he can definitely use it.”

Yuria hopped onto the red proto-dragon whelp, and in a single leap, had bounded to the skies. From above, she shouted, “Look for me at Frostfall Mountain…”

‘D*mn!’

As Li Yi rushed toward Yuria and pointed his middle finger, he summoned his Horned Griffin to take flight.

Frostfall Mountain was in the Northern Continent. At Li Yi’s current level, there was no way he could enter the place. Thus, he was forced to postpone this follow-up quest.

However, as he evaluated the rewards he gained, which was two epic-level skill tomes and the Heart of a Clear Mirror buff, it turned out to be quite a sizeable haul. In short, Li Yi was satisfied with the outcome.

As he rode the Horned Griffin, he could hear the shouting from the Western Continent players below him. Using the mighty Aggro Tracking System, they pestered Li Yi like a deep-rooted ulcer, hounding him no matter where he went.

Fortunately, the Aggro Tracking System could only give an approximate location, and there were delays in its display as well. So, as long as he did not remain in a single place for too long, there would not be too big of a problem.

Li Yi had made another close escape, frustrating the Western Continent players below so much that they cursed at him.

…

The Western Continent’s Celestial Capital looked exactly the same as the Eastern Continent’s, there were no notable differences whatsoever.

Near the Celestial Captial’s teleportation point stood Autumn Love on a tall platform. She was flaunting her charm, trying to gather the attention of the Celestial Capital’s players.

She was constantly typing the same message on the Region Channel. Her plan was simple.

She wanted to decide her date by dueling!

She was not the only one, as she had also pulled in several ladies into the fray. There were ten beauties in total. In short, they had attracted the attention of various onlookers.

The rules for the duel were simple, it was a banner-planting PK contest. Whoever that could win 200 rounds the quickest would be eligible to participate in the finals. They would only record the wins, not the losses, and if they made it through the Finals, they had to win against Autumn Love as well. If they got through that final barrier as well, then they were free to pick any of the ladies, and they could take them away on the spot.

“Is this real?”

“There is no chance of falsehood!” declared Autumn Love resolutely.

“I know who she is, she’s the Vice Guild Master from Reigning The World, The greatest swindler — Autumn Love!” shouted someone.

“How’s her reputation?”

“It’s shady, but she doesn’t tell lies!”

A commotion was brewing among the crowd, as many people were tempted by the offer.

“I’ll repeat the rules once more. Although this is a date by dueling, my sisters will not pry into any details. So, for those of you who have wives and those without, feel free to try it out. Hehe, there are no limitations, you could be a guy and you could be a gal, it doesn’t matter. As long as you win, you get to take away a belle. You’re free to return her after a one night stand too!”

Autumn Love’s words had stunned the crowd.

In that instant, countless battle flags rained down from above, and the players began to fight frantically.

Death means nothing in a banner-planted PK, at most, the losers would just have to kneel down to admit their defeat. There was no punishment for losing, and since they were already loitering, why not have a great time instead?

There were those who participated in the PK contest and there were those who were there to observe the ruckus. This resulted in more and more players congregating at the teleportation point, garnering the attention of the players that were chilling in the Celestial Capital.

“Autumn Love, I have no interest for your sisters. Is it fine if I only want you?”

“Sure, win 200 rounds and defeat me, and I’ll be yours tonight.” Autumn Love fluttered her gentle eyes, arousing the player who shouted the question to her so much so, that he covered his nose as he PK-ed someone.

Autumn Love shouted once more, “To our friends observing, there are rewards for you too! Each of you will obtain three Gold Coins and you will be paid immediately after you finish watching the entire spectacle!”

The audience roared once more. Even the observers get gold coins, who in the right mind would ignore this amazing event?

“Old Wang, come quickly to the Celestial Capital’s teleportation point! They’re giving out free money and ladies!”

“Dear husband, come quickly to the Celestial Capital to collect money!”

“My dear wife, come quickly to the … Celestial Captial’s teleportation point.”

The news spread quickly, and the number of people at the teleportation point grew, as it began to look like a black sea. The scene was not much different from when the game was having an event.

“Additionally, feel free to place your bets as well! The world’s best betting house, Autumn Betting House is at your service!”

…

After nearly two hours of flight, Li Yi had finally arrived at the Celestial Capital. However, he was shocked at what awaited him. For as far as the eye can see, the players near the teleportation point had become a red sea (red names)…

“Miss Autumn, what on earth did you do?”

“I am holding a date by dueling. This is great, no?”

“Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.”

“Everyone present receives three Gold Coins and the amount that I have given out is making me suffer. Brother Dark Wing, look at this amount of money…”

“Keep it up, I’ll be gone in half an hour, tops.”

“Brother Dark Wing, just look at this amount of money…”

“You must be acting as a dealer again, huh?”

“How did you know?”

“It ain’t Autumn unless it’s underhanded. Since when did you willingly lose money?”

“Ermm…”

Li Yi used only a few words to repel Autumn Love’s intentions. What an underhanded girl, she already had so much, and yet she is still not satisfied. To think that she was trying to scam more out of people.

Li Yi did not fly directly into the Celestial Capital, as it was too dangerous. The Celestial Captial’s Guards had a viewing distance of over 1000 yards, trying to evade them was just too difficult.

He chose to enter by swimming through the waterway instead.

After entering the capital and emerging from the water, Li Yi used his new skill, Beast Soul Possession.

Beast Soul Possession — Lightning Leopard!

Li Yi had taken on Lightning Leopard’s appearance. He nonchalantly entered Stealth Mode and had burrowed his way in a lightning-like manner.

Within ten minutes, he had already learned all of Lightning Leopard’s abilities. As of now, he was effectively a weaker version of Lightning Leopard.

Although he was not as fast as the real Lightning Leopard, his speed had already surpassed that of a normal mount. Like a gust of wind, he advanced.

Transforming into Lightning Leopard was an incredible experience, as he no longer had to stop to use Camouflage or Invisibility Potions. In a single breath, Li Yi had already reached Crown Square and reached Carulla’s side.

“May the Holy Light be with you always…”

“The Ruler of God is watching you…”

“Do you feel it? The alluring fragrance that is prancing in the air…”

All three of Carulla’s incarnations in the Pantheon Continent were stand-alone individuals, so their enmity was totally independent of one another. Li Yi ran to her side, but she did not flinch as she stood there, muttering the three lines over and over again.

There were around a dozen players dueling at Crown Square, obviously a result of Autumn Love’s scheme.

‘That devious lady, aside from being a little underhanded, she is actually quite capable.’

Li Yi walked to an inconspicuous corner and began to form a team.

The friend summoning tool’s abilities were quite impressive, no matter where he was, be it within or outside the country, he was still able to carry out the summoning.

Nine of his friends had been summoned over. As Li Yi had not informed them beforehand, they panicked when they first arrived.

“The Western Continent’s Celestial Capital, Brother Dark Wing, you’ve really crossed the line this time,” said Confused Fox.

“We’re surrounded by enemies, how can we return?” Little Elf from the Magical Realm was in a bind.

“Go big or go home,” teased Li Yi as he stole a glance at Little Elf from the Magical Realm’s chest, inviting a vicious glare from her. It was as if her eyes were saying, “Go find someone else if you want to go this far.”

Li Yi only had one objective for calling them over, and it was to receive buffs. Getting back was simple and did not require any positioning. All he had to do was to return to the Eastern Continent and summon them once the friend summoning tool’s cooldown was over. Until then, Confused Fox and the others would only need to wait offline.

“Buff me up quickly, this place too dangerous. Once it’s over, go offline and wait for my call.”

The nine of them acted together and went offline immediately after casting their buffs. Only Little Elf from the Magical Realm remained.

She had yet to cast Wind Miracle.

“Release the miracle only after I’ve finished gearing up.”

Li Yi put on his one-time use helmet and took out his orange bow. After aiming carefully at Carulla and ensuring his positioning was fine, he gave a nod to Little Elf from the Magical Realm, motioning her to release the miracle.

Little Elf from the Magical Realm blew her flute, and in that instant, a black Ring of Light descended from the sky, which landed on her head.

Dark Silence! It stops the target from using spells for five seconds.

“Restrictive Spell!”

A black shadow flashed before Little Elf from the Magical Realm, and with a wave of his hand, he engraved his palm on Little Elf’s back.

A huge ‘Silenced’ appeared above Little Elf from the Magical Realm’s head, preventing her from using any spells.

`G*ddammit!’

Using his fastest speed, Li Yi quickly took off the one-time use helmet and loosed an arrow towards the black shadow.

Pew!

The black shadow had been struck, and [−5876] floated above his head, instantly falling to the ground.

Far ahead, four more players were heading their way.

‘These b*stards, since when did they arrive?”

“Little Elf, get away! I’ll deal with them for now, and once you’re able to use Wind Miracle, cast it immediately!”

“Call me sis.” Little Elf from the Magical Kingdom corrected Li Yi as she fled.

Li Yi was acquainted with the black shadow that was killed and the four players that were rushing towards them. They crossed blades the last time they met, they were none other than Reigning the World’s — Five Emperors!

“Die, troublemaker!”
