CHAPTER 198: CHAPTER 179 NIDYA: EIGHT-FOOT JADE HOOK.

"Where are the people?"

"The dungeon time should have ended, right? Where are they?"

"Yeah, where are they? Why can’t we see them?"

Outside Tianmu Temple, a swarm of players were whispering among themselves:

"Could they have returned to the city?"

Hojo Takeshi angrily shouted:

"Impossible!"

"They came here with an important mission; they couldn’t just return like that."

Yamada Miki asked with a stern face:

"If that’s the case, then where are they now?"

Judging by past experiences, the dungeon time should have long passed.

And at this point, the people in the dungeon should have been forcibly exited.

But after waiting outside for nearly half an hour, not even a trace was seen.

It was a group, not just one person over there!

If they didn’t return to the city, is there a better explanation?

"How could this happen?"

Hojo Takeshi stood there irritably, looking in the direction of Tianmu Temple.

Suddenly, a chill ran through Hojo Takeshi’s heart.

Hojo Takeshi looked up to see himself surrounded.

"What are you going to do?"

Yamada Miki said calmly:

"This kind of shame shouldn’t have happened, Hojo-kun."

Hojo Takeshi helplessly looked at the people around him,

"You guys!"

For the first time, Hojo Takeshi regretted his decision so much.

Unfortunately, the mistake had been made, and even regret couldn’t change the humiliation the He Clan faced from Feng Hua and the others.

Soon, this disgrace might spread across other countries via the internet.

And by then, the He Clan would be the laughingstock of many countries.

A country unable to deal with a group and allowing them to leave unscathed—how ridiculous.

The culprit of all this was himself.

Hojo Takeshi bitterly smiled and resigned himself to his fate.

The members of Zhenwu Society one by one wore bitter expressions.

No one could save Hojo Takeshi from the mistake he made.

But just then, someone excitedly shouted:

"Hey... everyone, look over there, there’s someone flying!"

Everyone looked up to see a black dot appearing over Sapporo City.

It seemed to be a stunning woman.

"It’s true!"

Someone curiously asked:

"Who is that?"

No one had seen this person before, and everyone’s face was full of curiosity.

Someone who can stand in mid-air in the game is certainly not an ordinary person.

Because of this person’s appearance, everyone’s attention shifted from Hojo Takeshi to the sky.

Especially the players in Sapporo City, who couldn’t help but look up.

Not only were they amazed by this person’s power, but also by her stunning beauty.

It wasn’t long before the woman suddenly spoke:

"Xiang Yuan, get out here!"

With just one simple sentence, the players outside Tianmu Temple could hear it clearly.

Each person’s expression showed shock.

Who is Xiang Yuan?

He is the City Lord of Sapporo City, currently one of the strongest NPCs of the He Clan!

And that woman called him an old thief?

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.

Someone exclaimed, "As expected, just as I thought: this woman is a super boss on the same level as the City Lord."

After the woman’s shout, a silhouette flew up from the city.

Almost everyone recognized this silhouette: Emperor Xiangyuan!

As soon as Xiang Yuan showed up, he looked at the woman opposite with confusion:

"Nidya, why aren’t you staying in your Vermilion Bird City and instead come here to make trouble?"

As soon as Xiang Yuan finished speaking, Nidya responded in a debt-collecting tone:

"Four hundred years ago, you borrowed the Eight-foot Jade Hook from me, isn’t it time to return it?"

Xiang Yuan was dumbfounded,

"What did you say?"

He thought he misheard her.

Then he angrily said:

"The Eight-foot Jade Hook is a Divine Artifact left by Amaterasu, when did it become yours?"

Nidya was furious:

"How dare you, Xiang Yuan, you want to steal my Eight-foot Jade Hook."

He had seen shameless people before, but it was his first time meeting someone so brazen as Xiang Yuan.

Xiang Yuan’s old face turned red with rage,

"Nonsense, this is clearly a Divine Artifact of my clan, when did it become yours."

The onlookers of the He Clan couldn’t help but be surprised,

"Isn’t this Eight-foot Jade Hook one of the three Divine Artifacts of the He Clan? How did it become someone else’s?"

"You idiot! If she says it’s hers, does it necessarily mean it’s hers?"

"If it’s not hers, why is she here then?"

"Who knows, anyway, matters concerning such powerful beings are not something we can get involved in."

Seeing that Xiang Yuan was unwilling to hand it over, Nidya suddenly rushed into the city,

"If you won’t hand it over, I’ll take it myself."

Xiang Yuan was infuriated upon seeing this,

"Baka, don’t push your luck."

Saying this, he rushed towards Nidya.

Nidya suddenly turned back,

"Fine, I haven’t had a fight in centuries; it’s just the right time to get some exercise."

Xiang Yuan cursed inwardly: crazy woman.

However, he had no choice; seeing a wave of flame approaching, Xiang Yuan took out a magic staff, forming a transparent shield in front to block it.

A wave of flames passed through Xiang Yuan’s shield and fell into the city, causing screams inside.

Seeing this, Xiang Yuan couldn’t help but say to Nidya:

"Nidya, don’t you want the Eight-foot Soul-Hooking Jade? If you have the guts, come and take it from me."

With that, Xiang Yuan quickly flew away.

Watching Xiang Yuan leave, Nidya had a smug smile on her face, then feigned shouting:

"Xiang Yuan, you old thief, where are you running to?"

...

The crowd below watched, puzzled, without understanding.

It seemed like a hidden task plot, but this level of plot task wasn’t something they could currently engage in.

Just as everyone refocused on Hojo Takeshi, inside the water prison of Sapporo City.

Lin Yi, following the method given by the Werewolf Prophet, opened the last cell where the Cyclops Race was held.

"Clan Leader!"

Seeing those frail Cyclops, even Shengshi couldn’t help but curse:

"These people are really damn bastards, too ruthless."

Over these centuries, to keep the Cyclops alive but not strong enough to make trouble,

they could only eat one meal a day, and that meal wasn’t even enough.

They lived under such harsh conditions for hundreds of years.

Thinking about it made Lin Yi and others’ skin crawl.

Not even the ten great tortures of legend were as cruel as this.

But from another perspective, those who could survive in such harsh conditions,

these thirty or so Cyclops were unquestionably the elite among elites.

The lowest level among them was Level 56, with the highest being Kamoda, the clan leader, at Level 69.

Tiansi looked at Lin Yi,

"Feng, are you sure there’s someone outside helping us lure the City Lord away?"

Until now, Tiansi still found it a bit unbelievable.

Without seeing Lin Yi doing much, how did a miraculous force descend to solve the biggest problem? It’s quite incredible.

Not only Tiansi, but the others also found it equally hard to believe.

Among them, Shengshi felt it the most.

Yet their doubts weren’t unlike Lin Yi’s own.

But given the situation, Lin Yi had no other choice.

So he could only take a gamble and trust the voice that promised to lure away Sapporo City’s City Lord.

Upon getting the cue, Lin Yi suddenly spoke:

"In a moment, follow the plan and move!"
