"So many major events have occurred over this past month?" Liang Yi held the jade tube while walking through Taibai City.

"Really, who would have expected it..." Su Youyi also felt some astonishment. Who knew when the Abnormal People arrived that they would bring such a huge impact?

The message sent by the dying Azure Dragon Envoy Shi Jun was successfully intercepted by the Devouring Spirit Sect, which also completed the final piece of Liang Yi's plan, making the Devouring Spirit Sect truly believe the Abnormal People had the ability to see through their disguises.

The panicked members of the Devouring Spirit Sect began to summon everyone to return from top to bottom, urgently recalling those hidden in any city or any sect, planning to switch from overt to covert, ready to lurk in the shadows.

But such a large-scale movement was already discovered by the Super Forces that Fang Zhi had informed, and the Chiefs who were also among the top ten True Inheritors of every sect led their disciples to hunt down members of the Devouring Spirit Sect.

Among these fugitives were even many Sect Elders, each taking with them some secrets or Magical Treasures of the sect before leaving.

This news stirred up the entire Cultivation World—if anybody was killed at random, that would mean a treasure trove!

The most enthusiastic among them were the players—Who wouldn't want an outdoor BOSS?

Everyone knows outdoor BOSS drops are the richest because it only appears once, and upon death, all the good stuff it carries explodes out.

Moreover, the fact that all these outdoor bosses were members of the Devouring Spirit Sect further confirmed to players that the Devouring Spirit Sect was the game's ultimate villain.

And the various major Super Forces went crazy, issuing bounty quests with extremely generous rewards, which drove the players wild.

Seeing the Devouring Spirit Sect, there was only one thought in their minds: Damn it!

Although most of the high-level outdoor BOSSes were too tough for them to defeat, or even provoke, as long as they discovered the traces and reported them, they would receive a handful of rewards.

What made the players even happier was that there were also some low-level BOSSes that they could kill.

If they can't beat the ones of levels sixty or seventy, could they still not beat the ones of levels twenty or thirty?

You see, the Devouring Spirit Sect had personnel from the Second Realm all the way up to the Seventh Realm, and now, without exception, all of them were fleeing for their lives.

Players had long discovered that the monsters in this game are very intelligent and realistic, meaning they are hard to kill, but it also means that there are many ways to defeat them.

For now, the most effective strategy was the human wave tactic—swarm with numbers. Low-level monsters don't have large-area AoE (Area of Effect) Skills and their auto-heal rates aren't fast, which creates perfect conditions for the human wave tactic.

Over the past few days, the players have caught and organized the killing of several level thirty-something BOSSes.

You must know that the players' highest level right now was just over twenty.

Among the most conspicuous were the players who joined the Purple Cloud Sect, especially Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei, two players who joined the sect earliest. They led the way in defeating two members of the Devouring Spirit Sect who were lurking in several cities reclaimed by the Purple Cloud Sect.

This was only successful because the players of the Purple Cloud Sect had met all the standards in terms of Daoist Skills, Cultivation Techniques, Equipment, and Level.

But the players from other Super Force sects weren't so lucky; either multiple families had to work together to take down one or they could only notify NPCs for help, resulting in them missing out on the drops and receiving fewer rewards.

This obvious contrast made the players even more yearning for the Purple Cloud Sect—Who wouldn't like a faction with great benefits, promising prospects, and opportunities for making money?

A large inflow of players led to the rapid construction of sect infrastructure, and various new features established under Liang Yi's guidance were gradually being unlocked.

Such as: the Arena.

PvE might be fun, but PvP is what players enjoy the most.

Open-world PK doesn't allow for unrestrained action, as equipment wear and tear could easily weaken oneself, or even cause a loss in revival counts.

But the establishment of the sect's Arena completely eliminated this worry!

The players of the Purple Cloud Sect joyously fought and brawled in the Arena every day, and those who won a lot even got sect contribution points as rewards.

Those who lost understood their weaknesses and could spend contribution points or Experience for guidance from the Sect Elders.

Liang Yi just watched as his Experience soared at an unbelievable speed. It wouldn't be long before he could give his Daoist Skills a full upgrade.

And the speed of Experience gain would only get faster as the players' Levels increased. This feeling of gaining Experience while lying down was just too good.

Liang Yi had never experienced such a sensation in his two lifetimes.

"What's so funny, miaow?" Master Orange's merciless iron hand shattered Liang Yi's fantasies, pulling him back to reality.

"Senior Brother, are we heading to Qingliang City next?" Su Youyi looked at the Abnormal People coming and going around them—How come there are even more people than a month ago? And there are many who have already entered the First Realm.

"Let's just use the Transmission Array, it saves time and effort." Liang Yi thought for a moment; he didn't know how much longer Zhou Wudao could last, so naturally, the quicker they got there, the better.

"Whoo-whoo!"

The sobbing flute sound rose abruptly, resounding in the ears of Liang Yi and Su Youyi.

"Senior Brother?" Su Youyi's expression changed; she recognized the origin of the sound.

"If we are cordially invited, then let's go take a look." Liang Yi did not expect that after a whole month, she was actually still here.

Old man Ju shook his ears, "What did you guys hear?"

Avoiding the bustling crowd, Liang Yi and Su Youyi moved swiftly, following the flute sound, and soon reached the top of a silent high tower.

After they left the Complete Heaven Sect, the sky changed from a star-filled expanse to a sunset twilight, and amidst the twilight, there stood an astoundingly beautiful girl with black hair cascading down like a waterfall.

"Wan Tinggui?" Liang Yi was puzzled; although you also want to bring down the Devouring Spirit Sect, you're still a member of it. Aren't you afraid of being seen by players?

"Young Hero Liang and Fairy Su, it's been a while since our last encounter, I hope all is well." Wan Tinggui's voice was crisp like a warbler yet carried a hint of coolness, completely different from the sweet and seductive tone of Su Youyi.

"I wonder what the Saintess Wan is looking for us for." Liang Yi was in a hurry to complete his tasks and did not have time to waste here.

"Thanks to you, my power in the Blood Control Sect has also suffered a great loss, don't you think I should be here to settle things with you?" Wan Tinggui changed her tone, emitting a distinctive murderous intent from her whole body.

"Clang!"

Even faster than Wan Tinggui's emergence of murderous intent was Su Youyi's Sword Qi.

Su Youyi's Spirit Sword was unsheathed, its tip pointing directly at Wan Tinggui's forehead. She didn't care whether this woman had intentions to cooperate with them before; anyone who harbored murderous intent towards her Senior Brother was an enemy in her eyes.

"Saintess Wan, why bother saying things that even you don't believe?" Liang Yi slowly pressed down Su Youyi's Spirit Sword, smiling at Wan Tinggui in front of him.

"Can we discuss the real matter now?"

"There's nothing else, mainly just to advise you to be careful lately, don't let an unforeseen mishap befall you." Wan Tinggui gave a cold smile, her killing intent receding as she kindheartedly reminded Liang Yi.

"What does the Saintess mean by that?" Before Liang Yi could ask, Su Youyi hurriedly inquired; she had a feeling this visit from Wan Tinggui might bring some important news.

Wan Tinggui glanced at Su Youyi, surprised by how sharp this Junior Sister of Liang Yi seemed to be.

"The Complete Heaven Sect's recent actions directly resulted in the loss of three Seventh Realm Cultivators for us, and one of them was even a half-step Eighth Realm, the Azure Dragon Enforcer who possessed soul-hooking abilities. Since the Devouring Spirit Sect couldn't completely eradicate the Abnormal People, the blame for this has to fall on your shoulders."

Wan Tinggui shrugged without any resentment, instead looking admiringly at Liang Yi; this series of actions was more effective than several years of her efforts.

"The Sect Hierarch has issued another order, demanding all sect members to kill you unconditionally; whoever does it will become the new Azure Dragon Enforcer."

"This time is different from the last; the previous Execution Order was more of a formality, after all, nobody knew you could cause such a significant loss to the Devouring Spirit Sect. But this time, the Sect Hierarch is offering tangible rewards, and many are waiting for the opportunity to take your head."

Su Youyi clenched her Longsword tightly; this was not good news for them.

This time the Devouring Spirit Sect's informants hidden in various places were all mobilized, and although this action effectively severed their widespread network of information, it also greatly enhanced the overt strength of the Devouring Spirit Sect in a short amount of time.

And in such a situation, with so many people wanting her Senior Brother's life, things were looking rather grim.

"Haha, doesn't this mean your Devouring Spirit Sect is in big trouble?" Instead of panicking after hearing the news, Liang Yi laughed heartily and jokingly said to Wan Tinggui.

"Hm? What do you mean?" Wan Tinggui was confused by Liang Yi's reaction. Was he planning to hide back in the Taoist Sect and seek Chen Hua's protection? Then he might be disappointed.

"What I mean is, maybe your Devouring Spirit Sect won't ever have an Azure Dragon Enforcer position again." Liang Yi said with a confident smile, appearing quite composed.

"Hehe, then I shall wait and see." Wan Tinggui pursed her lips and smiled lightly; if there were no outside intervention, it was uncertain whether Liang Yi could survive the relentless pursuit of the Devouring Spirit Sect.

"Then let's wait and see. Anything else?" Liang Yi spread his hands; if others didn't believe him, there was nothing he could do.

"Right, Tian Anyu may also be preparing other plans under the cover of the Complete Heaven Sect's operations recently, as he and the messenger from the Abyss have been unseen." Before leaving, Wan Tinggui shared this piece of intelligence, which she felt was somewhat unusual, with Liang Yi.

She had also noticed that Liang Yi seemed to have a natural conflict with the Devouring Spirit Sect, which was more effective than her acting alone as a traitor within the sect.

Just by providing some insignificant information, Liang Yi, the tool man, could perfectly achieve the results she desired, and she could leisurely develop her power while clinging to the Devouring Spirit Sect.

"Other plans?" Liang Yi pondered; it seemed that Tian Anyu wasn't planning to put all his eggs in one basket.

"Ding! Mission triggered [The Shattering of the Abyss Seal]"

"!?"

The unexpected mission alert made Liang Yi jump in surprise; this mission was completely different from the usual white color, it was blood red this time.
