They found a level 40 wild area and began killing monsters to clear their Red Name status.
Midway, Ouyang Ling’er asked in confusion, “Guild Leader, didn’t you say you wanted me to investigate Luo Chen’s contact information? Why are you ignoring him now that he’s right in front of you?”
“Short hair, short sight!” Wu Haotian chimed in from the side. “Our boss is using the ‘catch and release’ tactic! Since Radiant Guild spent a fortune bringing him from Tianjing to deal with us, Luo Chen won’t give up easily. He’ll come looking for us again!”
Ouyang Ling’er exclaimed, “Wow, Wu Haotian, you actually used your brain!”
Before long, all the Infinity Guild members arrived.
They spread out across the map, reducing the monsters’ health to 1 HP, leaving the final blow for Zhang Yue.
In just an hour, they had cleared thousands of Sin points!
As night deepened, everyone headed back.
Hearing that Zhang Yue had defeated the Sword Emperor, Infinity Phantom couldn’t help but feel admiration and joy. “Our Infinity Guild was almost crushed by him. We thought he was unbeatable in Zhening Province, but there’s always someone better!”
“Zero, from the bottom of my heart, you’re truly amazing! You’re the first person I’ve ever admired!”
Zhang Yue glanced at Infinity Phantom and said, “Join my guild? I’ll teach you how to play.”
Infinity Phantom replied, “Brother, I’m the Guild Leader of Infinity Guild…”
Soon, everyone returned to Dawn Sanctuary and logged off.
After showering, Zhang Yue received a Feixin message from Ling Ke’er: “Don’t all men like to sleep with beautiful girls? If you kill Tian Xin’er for me, I’ll let you sleep with me!”
Ling Ke’er was truly unscrupulous in achieving her goals, which was disgusting.
She believed that her ultimate weapon was irresistible to any normal man, given her confidence in her looks and figure.
As she waited for Zhang Yue to fall into her arms, she received his reply: “Sorry, I’m not interested.”
After sending the message, Zhang Yue blocked Ling Ke’er.
In a luxury single room at a high-end hotel in Coastal City, Ling Ke’er, having been rejected and blocked by Zhang Yue again, threw her phone at the LCD TV on the wall and began smashing everything in the room, crying out:
“Why! What makes Tian Xin’er better than me!”
“Why do you treat me like this!”
Radiant Xinghe and Radiant Sky stood outside the door, exchanging worried glances.
Even the hotel manager was alerted and rushed over.
As the manager was about to use a room card to open the door, Radiant Sky handed him a bank card. “There’s a million in here. We’ll buy this room.”
The manager, not one to refuse money, took the card and grinned. “Alright! If there’s anything else you want to smash, just let me know, and I’ll have it brought to you!”
After the manager left with a smile, the noise from the room grew louder. Radiant Xinghe and Radiant Sky looked at each other with concern.
“I’m worried that with the young lady’s temper, she might do something rash.”
“If anything happens to her, Chairman Ling won’t spare us. We need to inform him immediately!”
Radiant Sky called Radiant Guild’s Chairman Ling Ao and reported Ling Ke’er’s defeat by Zhang Yue and humiliation by Tian Xin’er.
Upon hearing that his precious daughter had been treated so inhumanely in Coastal City, Ling Ao roared like a beast, scaring Radiant Sky into holding the phone at arm’s length.
“Protect Ke’er at all costs. Don’t let her do anything foolish or leave the Safe Zone until the Resurrection Scroll refreshes!”
“I’m coming to Coastal City personally! If anything happens to her before I arrive, you’ll answer to me!”
After hanging up, Radiant Xinghe sighed. “Like father, like daughter. I really don’t want to work for Radiant anymore! If I keep this up, I’ll be driven to death by this spoiled young lady!”
Radiant Sky said, “I heard that Zero has a guild called Temple of Destiny, and he’s been recruiting…”
They exchanged a look and fell into deep thought…
Meanwhile.
In Tianjing, at the Radiant Guild headquarters.
Late at night, dozens of transport trucks left the Radiant Guild building, and several helicopters took off from the rooftop!
The commotion attracted the attention of many passersby.
“What is Radiant Guild up to with such a big move?”
“I have a friend working at Radiant Guild. I just asked him, and he said the chairman issued an emergency order for all new and old Professionals to head to Zhening Province!”
“Why are they going to Zhening Province?”
“Who knows~”
At this moment, a private detective who had been lurking near the Radiant Guild headquarters saw the scene and heard the conversation. He immediately called his employer, the young master of the Tian Family, Tian Yu.
In another part of Tianjing, at the Tian Family.
Upon learning about Radiant Guild’s actions from the private detective, Tian Yu, who had just logged off from the Otherworld and was about to sleep, sat up and hurried to find his grandfather, Tian Family’s highest director, Tian Ying.
“Grandpa, Radiant Guild is making a big move. I’m worried they’re heading to Zhening Province to target Xin’er!”
The old master of the Tian Family, who usually doted on Tian Xin’er more than his grandson Tian Yu, was alarmed upon hearing that Tian Xin’er was in danger. He grabbed his cane and got out of bed. “Xiao Yu, quickly gather all the directors of the Tian Family for an emergency meeting!”
“Yes, Grandpa!”
Half an hour later.
Following Radiant Guild’s lead, the Tian Family also dispatched dozens of transport trucks towards Zhening Province…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Radiant Guild’s Chairman Ling Ao was on a helicopter heading to Zhening Province.
He called the master of Sword Emperor Luo Chen at Hidden Dragon Mountain.
“Master Long, with all due respect, your disciple failed to protect my daughter. She was killed right in front of him. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”
“After all, I donated fifty million to your Dragon Hidden Temple!”
Ling Ao tried to suppress his anger, maintaining a respectful tone, knowing that the person on the other end of the line was someone even the Tian Family, the top family in Tianjing, wouldn’t dare offend.
Upon hearing the news, the other party seemed unsurprised and replied lightly, “I understand.”
“I’ll give you an explanation within three days.”
In Tianjing, atop a mountain surrounded by clouds and mist, resembling a fairyland.
At the peak, within a magnificent temple, an old monk in a kasaya was striking a bell, even in the dead of night.
A group of young men and women, full of vigor, approached the old monk.
They joked, “Is our junior brother being bullied?”
“I told you we shouldn’t have let Luo Chen take on this task. He’s too young and naive! Plus, he’s pure-hearted and easily deceived on his first trip down the mountain!”
“Who dares bully my junior brother? I’ll deal with them!”
These youths, the men averaging 1.9 meters tall and the shortest woman at 1.7 meters, all had extraordinary physiques and appearances.
At this moment, a girl with a ponytail, looking about twenty-five or twenty-six, had her phone ring.
“Junior brother is calling!”
She answered and put it on speaker.
“Senior Sister Luo Xin, is Master there?”
“Yes, Master is listening!” Luo Xin moved closer to the old monk.
On the phone, Luo Chen said, “Master, I was defeated today in The Fifth World by a new Professional from Zhening Province.”
Before the old monk could respond, the senior brothers and sisters comforted him:
“It’s okay, junior brother. Don’t take it to heart. It’s normal to stumble on your first trip down the mountain. You’ve done great!”
“Yes, don’t cry, junior brother. Don’t be sad. Senior Sister Luo Wan will avenge you!”
“Pat, pat, good junior brother!”
After all, Luo Chen was the youngest and most cherished disciple of the old monk.
The old monk, striking the bell with his eyes closed, said in a deep voice, “You need more experience and challenges.”
“No, Master,” Luo Chen said on the phone. “The opponent I faced this time was very strong, and his fighting style was very similar to yours!”
At this point, the old monk didn’t pay much attention.
Until Luo Chen continued, “And he knew Uncle Master’s name! He asked me to relay a message to you.”
“He said, ‘When will you repay the wine debt you owe him?’”
Upon hearing this, the old monk struck the bell hard and opened his eyes wide!
He stood up, approached Luo Xin, and asked excitedly into the phone, “What else did he say?”
Luo Chen replied, “Nothing else, just that he sends his regards to you.”
Seeing the old monk’s expression, all the disciples were stunned.
They had never seen their master so excited!
The old monk then said excitedly, “Pack up. Tomorrow morning, you’re all coming with me to Zhening!”
