421 Negotiation

"Eh? Now that I think about it, there does seem to be something strange."

After hearing Feng Yun Tu Bian's words, Inferno War Reverent also noticed the fishiness of the situation.

Regardless the side in this battle, respawn activity would be restricted. Even if there were only 500 players, it wouldn't be possible for them to flow out continuously with such a death rate.

Following which, Inferno War Reverent pulled open the system menu and glanced at the participating numbers.

Attacking Side: 2000

Defending Side: 5745

"What the f*ck! What's going on?" When he saw the numbers from Quan Zhen Sect rise so dramatically and continue to rise, Inferno War Reverent was shocked out of his wits.

At this time, Feng Yun Tu Bian also noticed the reverse in numbers. He exclaimed in shock, "Five thousand people? How is this possible? There are only a few hundred people in front of us. Moreover, how can a low-grade headquarter accommodate so many people? Unless?"

As Feng Yun Tu Bian was speaking, he turned his head backwards. In his eyes, a black mass of people that filled the entire Dusk Canyon appeared.

When he saw this, Feng Yun Tu Bian was dumbfounded.

"They… They… How did they end up behind us?"

Inferno War Reverent didn't even have enough time to respond to Feng Yun Tu Bian's question before he heard someone shouting from the back, "Obliterate them!"

With that, sky-blotting amounts of spells and arrows came falling from the sky.

The two leaders from Feng Yun Guild were confounded in shock while the rest of the Feng Yun Guild players were dealing with the players coming out from Quan Zhen Sect headquarters. Thus, these Feng Yun Guild players were unaware of the situation behind them. By the time they heard the noise behind them, the attacks from the Sanguine Alliance had already landed.

Sanguine Alliance was a super-big guild and its players definitely weren't weak. In terms of equipment, they were of roughly the same quality as Feng Yun Guild players. Under the same conditions, a battle between 6000 people and 2000 people could only lead to complete suppression.

With that single wave of attacks, Sanguine Alliance got rid of close to one-fifth of the Feng Yun Guild players. When the second wave of attacks came, those that were close to death were completely killed.

Feng Yun Guild players didn't even have a chance to retaliate. In less than a minute, all 2000 of them were beaten into brilliant, white light.

This wasn't the end. Just as the Feng Yun Guild players respawned, they would be immediately killed.

The Quan Zhen Sect players led the camping of the respawn point. Every time they attacked, there would be some people left alive.

It wasn't because they didn't have the ability to decimate Feng Yun Guild. Instead, it was because they didn't want to. This was because if they obliterated Feng Yun Guild, then the Feng Yun Guild players would be transferred out of the battlefield. However, the fellas from Quan Zhen Sect wanted to kill them a few more times.

Feng Yun Guild players were killed wave after wave. After being killed multiple times, they finally realised the intentions of Quan Zhen Sect.

The Feng Yun Guild players were all pragmatic professional players. They definitely wouldn't fight till the end just to maintain their image. Against this one-sided beatdown, they quickly accepted the situation and decisively left the battlefield.

The number of people from Feng Yun Guild fell. Ultimately, the system notification came: Quan Zhen Sect has completely extinguished Feng Yun Guild and obtained victory. As the victor, Quan Zhen Sect wins Feng Yun Guild's crystal contract.

When that system notification ended, a contract appeared in Fearless's hands.

Crystal Contract: Feng Yun Guild's crystal contract. Will you destroy Feng Yun Guild's guild crystal?

"Err… What is this? I thought it was money." When Ming Du saw the contract, he pouted in dissatisfaction.

"You only know fart!" Fearless reprimanded, "This is the thing which we will exploit for money."

With that, Fearless turned to Sanguine Warflag, "After we obtain the money, we will split some with you."

This time, Sanguine Alliance had sent over many people to help. Naturally, they couldn't let them be without benefits. If it was just Sanguine Warflag alone, then things would be simpler. However, there were so many little brothers under Sanguine Warflag that came to help. Thus, it wouldn't be nice to let them leave empty-handed.

Quan Zhen Sect has always believed in being loyal to friends.

Sanguine Warflag laughed, "I trust Brother Fearless's character. There's no rush!"

Sanguine Warflag knew that Fearless had many methods of exploitation. As the saying goes, wool comes from the sheep's back; if Feng Yun Guild wants its crystal contract back, then it would have to pay a heavy price for it.

After exchanging a few words of courtesy, Sanguine Warflag led his men back to Twilight City. At the same time, Inferno War Reverent added Fearless as a friend."

"My boss would like to have a discussion with you."

"Ok." Fearless replied indifferently. Then, he turned to the Quan Zhen Sect members, "Anyone wants to follow me to collect money?"

"This… I died many times today. I gotta go and train to get them back."

"This old man's demons have been reset to level zero. This old man is sad and needs some time alone."

"Don't look at me, I'm just a kid…"

"I'm a woman…"

…

Fearless was looking for someone to be his bodyguard. However, the bunch of fellas from Quan Zhen Sect believed that money could be obtained from other means. As for working as a bodyguard, they all had the same thought: "I'm not a lackey, why would I volunteer…"

Looking as everyone came up with these own excuses, Fearless raged and loads of vulgarities filled his mind.

Ultimately, only Wang Yu was relatively honest. He said, "I'll follow you."

"Old bull, you are truly the most dependable one." Fearless grabbed Wang Yu's hands and wept emotionally.

Wang Yu shook off Fearless's hands and said with disgust, "Looking at you, I'm worried that you would be slaughtered by those people… If that happens, we would lose this contract and waste our efforts."

Fearless, "..."

The venue of the negotiation was set at Twilight City Inn. Everyone was relatively familiar with the place, so it was a good place for negotiations.

When Wang Yu and Fearless arrived at the inn, they noticed that Feng Yun Guild's men were already there.

Feng Yun Guild's men were here to pay money, thus they didn't bring many people. There were the familiar faces: Inferno War Reverent, Feng Yun Tu Bian and Shi Hu. The only unfamiliar person was a Level 10 Holy Knight.

This Holy Knight was at the head of the table while Inferno War Reverent and co. were standing at the back. The scene gave off the impression of some underworld negotiation.

This knight wasn't some random person. He was Daybreak Studio's boss, Li Xiao Bing. Fearless immediately knew that he was the real leader. He gestured for Wang Yu to sit, then said to Inferno War Reverent and co., "Let's all take a seat. It doesn't matter what you are in real life, but don't play such things in the game. That's boring."

Inferno War Reverent and co. turned to Li Xiao Bing. Li Xiao Bing nodded, and thus, everyone took a seat.

Fearless continued, "What are we drinking?"

No one spoke… Fearless pointed at Li Xiao Bing and said to the NPC waiter, "One pitcher of your most expensive wine for everyone here. I will have two. That brother will be treating."

The NPC waiter was an intelligent NPC. When he heard Fearless's words, he immediately ran to Li Xiao Bing.

Li Xiao Bing's face twitched. A complicated expression appeared on his face as he handed some gold coins to the waiter.

After the wine arrived, Li Xiao Bing started slowly, "Let me first introduce myself. I am Li Xiao Bing. I'm a businessman and I'm the boss of Daybreak Studios."
