CHAPTER 373: CHAPTER 358 LIFE IS LIKE A PLAY

"What a load of nonsense!" Pan Jinlian cursed.

These Daoist Soldiers, every single one of them are muscle-brained guys, always leveling up and training by fighting monsters, so naturally they didn’t recognize this person. They don’t have the chance to meet high-level figures while in secluded training at the martial arts grounds.

But she recognized him.

"This is Zhang Yun’s second brother, Zhang Shan. How did he end up here, did the information leak? Probably there’s an inside agent in the family helping him!" Pan Jinlian said excitedly.

"Then he’s doomed!"

The crowd, with broken arms and legs, bleeding all over, were calmly watching and eating melon seeds as spectators.

"Can’t you guys save him?" Pan Jinlian shouted angrily, "Make a final effort, self-destruct or something, protect us and kill our way out!"

"We’re off the clock, brother."

A strong man with both legs broken lay on the ground, looking calmly at his watch amidst the pool of blood, "We’ve been working for twenty-four consecutive hours. Even though we’ve worked hard before, we need to live after work, and although we’re not afraid to die, it’s better to preserve life if we can."

"Wait, you’re not really in love, are you?"

"What the hell, you’ve fallen for the gentleness of that scheming guy Zhang Yun? Though his combat power is unmatched, a peerless prodigy of his generation, dominating the contemporary Human Realm, he’s still an NPC native... Tell me honestly, are you male or female."

While everyone was discussing spiritedly, Zeng Ciwen pondered seriously and said, "Folks, both emotionally and rationally, we should continue helping Zhang Yun. Otherwise, the loyalty we’ve fought for with our lives previously would have been in vain."

"I think there’s no need to help. After all, that second brother took the Holy Son position; if we get rid of this one and seize the credit, we’re just switching to another master," someone said.

"Indeed, we’ve already suffered too many casualties and should be conserving strength for the activation of the next ’Void Chessboard’ wave. According to the system prompt, the next wave is the birth of a super big world."

Many had no interest in intervening, just watching domestic violence in their family, and that was it.

"Then what about me?" Pan Jinlian said.

"We change our master, and you change your husband, simple as that, we all change together," someone said openly, "Our slogan is to be servants of three surnames."

"I won’t!" Pan Jinlian declared.

"Wow, you’re really a virtuous lady! My goodness, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of Pan Jinlian!" Everyone was shocked.

The crowd discussed for a while.

Originally, they didn’t want to help, but the choice Pan Jinlian made was beyond their expectations.

"Brothers, it’s not that I like him, but he’s good to me, genuinely, and I can’t bring myself to betray him!"

Pan Jinlian said, "I’ve taken advantage of him plenty... it’s like I owe you all a favor! You must know, I’m currently the strongest beautiful player, Pseudo-Heavenly Dao Level beauty. After this wave of development, in the next life rebirth, I might become Celestial Dao Level beauty... comparable to the likes of historical Xi Shi and Diao Chan, wreak havoc on the country, even change the course of a nation’s destiny!"

"As such an important top talent player, owing you all a favor is worth quite a lot, right?"

The other players pondered over this deal, finding it acceptable.

"Then let’s go all in."

They staggered to their feet, "Since the customer has a request, we’ll accept this commission..."

In front.

"How is it possible, my Talisman for relocating to the ancestral ground failed?"

Zhang Yun’s heart sank uncontrollably, this was his Life-saving Talisman.

If he couldn’t win, he originally intended to abandon these Daoist Soldiers and leave with Jinlian.

"It’s useless, I’ve tampered with the return location point in the ancestral ground," Zhang Shan took a step forward, "and the beauty you’re carrying will become my wife as well."

Everyone was still watching from the shadows.

"Holy crap, this one also has a Cao Cao in his heart, initially thought we could have a communication session."

But soon, seeing Zhang Yun in crisis, they split a few detachments to block upfront, burning their lives.

"Young Master, you and Mistress leave first, we’ll hold them off!" Several Daoist Warrior Soldiers stood up, drenched in blood, with helpless faces, feeling that there was endless work and overtime, life’s really tiring.

"You guys..."

Zhang Yun widened his eyes, showing a trace of emotion.

I treated you like that, yet you’re willing to risk your lives to protect me...

He felt very anxious, seeing the brave sacrifice of the defending warriors, his heart was heavy with mixed emotions.

"Are you guys stupid?"

Zhang Shan was shocked, "Don’t you understand, he has a Life-saving Talisman, initially planned to abandon you and leave... Honestly, with you cooperating like this, he would never have anticipated it, he didn’t expect your combat power to be higher than imagined, even so, most people sacrificed... his original intent must have been for all of you to die."

"Such a master, you’re still following him?" Zhang Shan tried to persuade, "Join me, this kind of cruel and vicious person doesn’t deserve to be your master’s master!"

He was extremely envious of this batch of warriors, so loyal unto death, if they could pledge allegiance to him...

Unfortunately, over half were utilized to death by Zhang Yun, such a waste.

"Zhang Shan, Li Si, or whatever, you can tell they’re just extras at a glance."

A Daoist Soldier stood up upright, "The master’s treatment of us is as clear as the sun and moon! It was he who gave our lives meaning; we pledge our lifetime allegiance, never to betray. Don’t try to sow discord between us and the master!"

Zhang Shan was utterly shocked.

You’re all out of your minds!

I’ve said it so clearly, and you’ve been fully exploited, nearly all dead, bodies of your companions everywhere, yet still can’t understand?

Seeing this group of loyal and righteous warriors, he didn’t know what to say anymore.

These people have foolish loyalty!

It’s a kind of brainless loyalty.

Zhang Shan was silent for a few seconds, with a hand gesture, an image appeared, "See? This is his conversation with his subordinates! It says he’s going to exploit you, you’ve all heard these conversations clearly."

"You!!!"

Holy Son Zhang Yun was terrified.

He finally knew who the spy was; it turned out to be his loyal strategist retainers, and they even recorded it, shown before these warriors, he feared he was really doomed now...

His heart was filled with despair and shame, for indeed he wrongfully used those who loyally served him...

And the Daoist Soldier players on the opposite side were also somewhat speechless, very troubled.

You Zhang Yun, why is there such a big loophole; leaving us in a trap of a plan to kill all, captured red-handed, and we lose face to help you...

But.

"Don’t speak ill! This is definitely a fabricated fake recording, my life’s dedicated to serving the master and mistress!" A Daoist Soldier shouted, looking at Pan Jinlian, "Missus’ kindness to me can never be repaid in this life; I will repay in the next life!"

This brother’s amazing.

The other players were astonished, secretly giving him a thumbs up.

Thankfully there’s this shameless guy, brazenly speaking nonsense, somehow forcefully getting through.

"Wait! Such deep kindness? To my knowledge, you only recognized the master a short while ago, and what kindness is there?" Zhang Shan had investigated thoroughly, still attempting to make this batch of valiant warriors see reality.

"Hmph! The grace of recognizing merit is the greatest favor! If he sees value in us, we’ll gladly lay down our lives for him! Even if it’s soul scatter!" the Daoist Soldier continued shouting, "In our hearts, flows the blood of loyalty and righteousness!"

They were awkward.

After all, there’s no other way, it’s all the task from master Pan Jinlian.
