The peculiar old man beside Zhao Hai, during the process of stripping the child from Tao Jiayu's body, inadvertently left many residual ghost gu within her. These gu then fused with her spiritual body, granting her the ability to control them.
More importantly, her remains were likely still at that location.
Only by finding her physical remains could she be truly rescued, though locating them proved difficult for the moment.
However, Lin Ran assured Chu Tian that he would handle the matter.
The huggable bear that Tao Jiayu was currently inhabiting had been soaked in the hot spring water from that very place, allowing her a temporary sanctuary.
When Chu Tian and the others left, Tao Jiayu was already extremely weak within the huggable bear.
This was also why Tao Jiayu had not allowed Chu Tian to speak, stating that her time was limited.
To slow down her dissipation, Lin Ran found a dark, ancient jar and sealed her within it.
He informed Chu Tian that if her spiritual body dissipated before her remains were properly interred, she would be unable to reach the legendary world.
For Lin Ran, these were also his first attempts at such procedures.
However, this was precisely how his master had taught him.
Chu Tian and the others generally respected Master Huang's teachings.
While Lin Ran's abilities leaned towards the uncanny and fantastical, Lin Yu's medical skills were exceptional.
Her presence demonstrated that Master Huang indeed possessed genuine talent and knowledge.
Upon returning to his villa, Chu Tian called Lin Ran, urging him to resolve Tao Jiayu's situation as soon as possible.
He also informed Lin Ran that he had transferred two million to Lin Yu's account.
He advised them to leave Shengjing immediately after completing the matter and find a safe place to lay low.
After making these arrangements, Chu Tian, carrying the weight of his exhaustion, lay down in the Heavenly Dao game pod.
It was already past three in the morning, and although significant time had been lost, he needed to log in quickly and continue leveling up.
Luo Luo was still waiting for him to rescue her!
"Luo Luo, hold on. I will definitely find the Luo family's ancestral land."
Chu Tian vowed silently, "Although I might not be able to use the guest quota from the Ninth Office, I will risk my life to bring you out."
[Ding… Welcome to the Heavenly Dao World…]
Upon entering the game, Chu Tian habitually opened the guild chat.
He immediately felt that the atmosphere was somehow off.
Just as he was about to scroll up to review the chat history, Qi Xi sent him a message.
Some players from the Godslayer Alliance wanted to leave the guild.
They had already submitted their applications to him.
In the Heavenly Dao's guild system, players wishing to leave a guild were required to apply to the senior management.
Once approved, they could leave without repercussions. While equipment redeemed from the guild warehouse would still be recalled by the system, upon recall, they would receive a full refund of the contribution points spent during redemption.
Subsequently, the system would deduct gold from the guild at the current market price to compensate those who had been approved to leave the guild.
If a guild management member chose to forcibly exit the guild without approval, they would face penalties.
All equipment redeemed using contribution points would be recalled by the system and returned to the guild warehouse.
Furthermore, contribution points would not be converted back into gold, serving as a punishment for those who betrayed the guild.
This was not the most critical aspect; the most significant penalty was that players who left without approval would be unable to join any guild for fifteen days.
Under normal circumstances, leave requests could be approved by Vice Presidents or Executive Presidents, and Chu Tian would not need to be involved.
However, the individuals wishing to leave today were not ordinary members of the Godslayer Alliance.
They were members of the elite corps. After Qi Xi took over as Executive President, she had established one hundred elite corps, totaling three thousand members. This was at Chu Tian's instruction, as he foresaw that guilds with thousands of members would become commonplace later on.
However, based on the Godslayer Alliance's current revenue, it could only support such a large elite force.
These members were selected from the regular membership, demonstrating excellent awareness, reaction times, character, and execution ability.
Of course, more importantly, they were willing to sign a contract with the Godslayer Alliance.
Upon signing, they enjoyed the benefits and salaries of the elite corps.
They also received additional subsidies and various other welfare benefits for participating in guild activities, raids, and other events.
For these reasons, their requests to leave the guild required Chu Tian's signature of approval.
Therefore, upon seeing Chu Tian log in, Qi Xi immediately sent him a message.
Chu Tian was startled; this was the first time anyone had applied to leave the Godslayer Alliance.
Since its establishment in the新手村 (newbie village), the Godslayer Alliance had seen a constant influx of members, but never a single departure.
"Who is requesting to leave the guild?"
"Chu Tong, Formerly Known As Liu Nian, Confined By Love,戒爱 (Jie Ai), and Actor. These five submitted their applications first.
But it's no longer just them; all who have submitted applications are from the elite corps.
The elite corps has a total of three thousand members, with over five hundred submitting leave requests, and the number is still increasing."
Qi Xi spoke with a heavy heart.
Although these individuals were not the absolute top-tier players of the Godslayer Alliance, Chu Tong, Formerly Known As Liu Nian, Confined By Love, 戒爱 (Jie Ai), and Actor were all top-tier second-line players.
Moreover, such a large number of people leaving simultaneously was not a trivial matter.
The negative impact it would cause was immeasurable.
"Where are they all located?" Chu Tian had already an idea of what had happened.
These individuals must have been bribed.
With the war zone boundaries not yet opened, the Huang Corporation was the wealthiest entity in the northern war zone.
These people must have been offered better benefits than they were receiving in the Godslayer Alliance.
Those who were swayed by money, under the temptation of wealth, inevitably began to consider leaving the Godslayer Alliance.
Furthermore, they had been instigated to leave in this manner, aiming to cause significant damage to the Godslayer Alliance's reputation and create a negative impact.
In this situation, if Chu Tian approved their applications, they could breach their contracts without penalty and leave without any loss.
This would also save the Huang Corporation a substantial amount of expenditure.
If Chu Tian disapproved, they would still forcibly exit the guild.
As for the breach of contract and the liquidated damages for violating the agreement they had signed with the Godslayer Alliance, these would undoubtedly be paid by the Huang Corporation for them.
They would not be burdened by the enormous breach of contract fees.
The Huang Corporation would merely need to pay the money, and these individuals would be the scapegoats.
"They are all in Shengjing City, at the guild headquarters!" Qi Xi replied.
She was still trying to persuade Chu Tong, Formerly Known As Liu Nian, Confined By Love, 戒爱 (Jie Ai), and Actor.
These five were leaders of a 300-person team.
Each of them commanded ten teams of thirty individuals.
Previously, these five individuals were transferred from Jian Zhi Cang Tian's team.
The Godslayer Alliance's first team was formed by Jian Zhi Cang Tian, Heng Dao, and Sheng Guang Hu You Ni at the newbie village.
Some individuals had left over time, primarily those with weaker individual abilities who felt they were holding the team back and chose to leave on their own.
After Qi Xi took over as Executive President, she discussed with Zhao Lei and Gao Kai.
Ten capable individuals were transferred from their teams, forming ten 300-person teams.
