CHAPTER 165: CHAPTER 148: PULLING THE RUG OUT FROM UNDER

When Lin Yi appeared in the teleportation array at Black Tortoise City, he found the surroundings already crowded with people eager to watch the action.

The heat from the tournament had not yet dissipated when someone discovered that a major upheaval was quietly approaching within the game.

With such a big move by the Divine Hall, it was impossible to hide it from everyone.

While the internet buzzed with speculation about Divine Hall’s actions, a video showing Stable as a Mountain, Mute, Zhan Chen, and Little Bean Sprout being killed went viral, causing a huge stir in the entire game.

It wasn’t hard to see from the shooting angle that this was a video recorded by one of the Divine Hall Guild’s participants at the time.

Just a moment ago, people were still watching the tournament replays, praising the members of the Feng Hua Mercenary Corps.

The next moment, a video of them being killed was released.

This unexpected move by Divine Hall made people suddenly realize: Divine Hall is serious about going against Feng Hua.

At once, everyone felt an oppressive sense of impending storm.

Black Tortoise City, already gloomy, became even heavier because of this action by Divine Hall.

Lin Yi’s appearance instantly became the center of attention for everyone present.

"Feng Hua is here!"

"Looks like the main event is about to begin."

Every occurrence involving Feng Hua always triggered speculations about Feng Hua’s strength, and some curious person asked:

"What do you think, who will have the last laugh between Feng Hua and Divine Hall this time?"

One player, feeling rather proud, said:

"Divine Hall, I suppose? A friend of mine is with Divine Hall, and this time Divine Hall has mobilized everything, just waiting for Feng Hua to appear."

Some were concerned about a rumor from the forum:

"It’s said that Tianci and Red Eyes of the Feng Hua Mercenary Corps are both trapped in Yinfeng Valley. I wonder if that’s true."

"Of course, it’s true!"

"You have to admit, being hailed as Divine Thieves, their strength is terrifying. Even in situations of certain death, they managed to escape, terrifying indeed."

"Now all the entrances to Yinfeng Valley are tightly surrounded by Divine Hall people; unless they self-destruct their position to return to the city, being found is just a matter of time."

...

Listening to the discussions around him, a few figures suddenly approached Lin Yi,

"Boss Feng."

"Come with me."

Seeing the resentful faces, Lin Yi uttered just one sentence before heading out of the crowd.

Shuaidiaoza and Zhan Chen exchanged looks but still followed Lin Yi to a secluded spot.

"Tell me, what exactly happened."

Even though Lin Yi had mentally prepared himself, after listening to Shuaidiaoza’s recount, he couldn’t suppress the anger in his heart,

"Bastards!"

"Bang!"

"Boss Feng, sorry, we were careless."

With a frosty expression, Lin Yi looked at them and asked:

"Where’s Zixin?"

They exchanged glances, and finally, Shuaidiaoza said:

"The little girl was frightened, and now Feng Sis is with her, so she’s safe for the time being."

Lin Yi gritted his teeth and said:

"Good!"

They didn’t even spare little Wang Zixin, and even recorded and uploaded the video of the killing online.

Such actions deeply crossed Lin Yi’s bottom line.

Even without witnessing it, Lin Yi could imagine the little girl’s fear and despair when she logged in and was suddenly attacked by a group of strangers.

Everyone treated the little girl like a princess, carefully protecting her from any harm.

But no one expected that the maniacs would go so far as to kill even her.

Trying hard to calm his overwhelming impulse, Lin Yi said expressionlessly:

"You guys wait for me at the West City Gate of Cyan Dragon City."

"What?"

By the time Shuaidiaoza and the others reacted, Lin Yi had already disappeared from sight.

"What does Boss Feng mean by this? Isn’t he going to rescue Tianci and them?"

Zhan Chen hesitated and said:

"There must be another plan."

Stable as a Mountain said:

"Listen to him."

Mute walked directly to the teleportation array:

"Apart from Xiao Jie (Red Eyes), only Brother Feng here cares most about Zixin."

"Now that something like this happened to Zixin, do you think he can remain indifferent?"

...

Feng Hua (private chat): "Where is Lord?"

Proud Gaze Lord (private chat): "On the way to Yinfeng Valley."

Standing in front of the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion in Cyan Dragon City, Lin Yi was stunned by Proud Gaze Lord’s response.

This response was somewhat unexpected for Lin Yi.

Though it was just a short sentence, the information it conveyed was enough to shake Lin Yi.

Feng Hua (private chat): "No need to go to Yinfeng Valley, this time I really do need your help."

On the road, Proud Gaze Lord suddenly said to Aoshi Fengye:

"Tell everyone to stop."

Aoshi Fengye, though puzzled, shouted ahead:

"Everyone stop!"

Luo Wushang rode a black horse up to Aoshi Fengye and asked:

"What’s going on?"

Aoshi Fengye pointed to Proud Gaze Lord and gestured for silence.

Luo Wushang got the hint and refrained from speaking, instructing his guild members to stop in their tracks as well.

Proud Gaze Lord (private chat): "Speak, what is it?"

Feng Hua (private chat): "This time, I plan to ensure the Divine Hall never rises again."

Proud Gaze Lord’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

He couldn’t help but marvel: What a Feng Hua, likely the only one in the entire game brave enough to make such a statement.

What amazed Proud Gaze Lord even more was that he didn’t find such words arrogant at all?

A top guild in the game could be toppled just like that?

Proud Gaze Lord suddenly felt a bit eager to see how Feng Hua planned to make Divine Hall fall.

After a while, Proud Gaze Lord said to Aoshi Fengye:

"Have everyone return to the city and gather at the West City Gate of Cyan Dragon City."

"Huh?"

Aoshi Fengye was understandably surprised, but seeing Proud Gaze Lord’s expression, not like someone joking, he obeyed the command:

"Everyone return to the city and gather at the West City Gate of Cyan Dragon City."

Meanwhile, at the Divine Hall Guild base ready for action, Luoshen Demon Fiend looked at Luoshen Liunian:

"Shall we go? If we don’t, it’ll be late."

Luoshen Liunian suddenly said:

"Wait."

Looking at the constantly flashing avatar in his friend list, Luoshen Liunian was quite taken aback and said:

"Feng Hua?"

......

Standing at the great hall entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion, Babylon’s voice came from inside:

"Come in, stop standing there foolishly."

Lin Yi wasn’t just standing there foolishly; he was busy in the Elf Race’s Prosperity Exchange Mall, using 50,000 prosperity points to exchange for a rare item.

Looking at the item in his backpack, Lin Yi muttered to himself:

"Since you want to play, I’ll play big with you."

Lin Yi pushed open the door and went in, Babylon asked:

"What is it? Why are you looking for me?"

Lin Yi said:

"Request to attack a base."
