Chapter 46 Council

The guild leaders glanced at each other. It wouldn’t be strange for anyone else to suggest this, but the fact that Ni Liu Er Shang, who had been vehemently opposing Qian Li Yi Zui, brought it up made everyone feel a bit strange. They couldn't help but feel like they were being used, and a strong sense of resistance arose in their hearts.

Shu Xia Wang Tian, the leader of Shu Xia You Hun, had learned a setting that other guilds were unaware of: there was a death limit for players participating in the city war! Once a player died a certain number of times, the penalty wouldn't just be confinement to the resurrection camp, but complete elimination from the city war.

Shu Xia Wang Tian knew that these guild leaders hesitated to pursue Qian Li Yi Zui for a large part because they felt that even if they caught and killed him, what then? He would resurrect and come out to harass and retaliate. Facing Qian Li Yi Zui, everyone had become cowardly, hoping to be taken care of by good luck, and that they wouldn't be Qian Li Yi Zui's target. As for him causing trouble for other guilds, most people were probably secretly happy!

For example, when Zong Heng Si Hai was messed with earlier, Dui Jiu Dang Ge must have been delighted. Now that Dui Jiu Dang Ge was also targeted, Shu Xia Wang Tian noticed that Wu Shi Zhi Jian's mood was noticeably good.

If he revealed this setting, it would definitely be like injecting a shot of adrenaline into the guilds. When everyone knew that they could kick Qian Li Yi Zui out of the city war by killing him a few more times, they might really unite. But the problem was, Shu Xia Wang Tian didn't want Qian Li Yi Zui to leave at this time. He was still counting on Qian Li Yi Zui to cause a ruckus at Yun Jiao Lake, while he secretly tried to get back to that quest!

Shu Xia Wang Tian's guild was small, but its ambitions were great. Besides, he didn't have much of a say at the moment. His guild was so small, and there were hundreds of guild leaders present. He was at the very bottom. If it weren't for his extensive connections, he might not have even received this news. He was here, but guild leaders of his size were basically just spectators, waiting for the larger guilds to make decisions and deciding whether or not to participate… As far as the right to speak went, they had less than the core members of the big guilds, excluding the leaders!

Gu Xiao Shang, as one of the five level-six guild leaders, was naturally invited to this kind of guild leader conference. Hearing everyone talking about dealing with Qian Li Yi Zui, and seeing most people looking timid, she was furious. She stood up abruptly, glared at everyone, and said, "Isn't it just chasing down Qian Li Yi Zui? Our guild has been doing it all along. Anyone who wants to kill him, come with me. What's the point of meeting and meeting?"

Dao Ying Nian Hua immediately felt that things were going to go wrong when he saw Gu Xiao Shang stand up. Sure enough, Wu Shi Zhi Jian also stood up and said seriously, "That's right, Qian Li Yi Zui is on the defending side, an unquestionable enemy. Why do we even need to have a meeting to discuss whether to pursue him? It's ridiculous. We, Zong Heng Si Hai, have nothing to say. We will definitely not let him go if we see him."

"Heh, is it that you won't let Qian Li Yi Zui go, or that Qian Li Yi Zui won't let you go?" Someone in the crowd sneered.

"Who is it?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian roared. These words undoubtedly exposed his wounds.

"Guild Leader Wu Shi…" Ni Liu Er Shang actually came out at this time and patted Wu Shi Zhi Jian. His eyes were full of understanding. He felt a sense of shared misfortune. He was in the same boat as Zong Heng Si Hai, having taken a major tumble. A thousand people couldn't beat Qian Li Yi Zui alone! And his situation was even more tragic than Wu Shi Zhi Jian's. Zong Heng Si Hai at least had siege weapons and other environmental advantages during the city war, but they were facing a genuine one-versus-one thousand situation. Although tactical errors had allowed Qian Li Yi Zui to take advantage of them, this explanation was untenable. Moreover, their failure magnified the terror of Qian Li Yi Zui. It was all negative impact.

"Everyone knows what happened between us and Qian Li Yi Zui. We were defeated, and I have nothing to say about that. But I hope everyone understands that Qian Li Yi Zui is not as terrifying as you think. Our failure was due to tactical errors. One important piece of information we've always had is that Qian Li Yi Zui's mana is quite low. Multiple combat observations show that his mana can only provide output for four Double Flame Flashes or area-of-effect spells, followed by a small fireball or lightning spell. We originally planned to exhaust his mana and then swarm him, but we didn't expect that his mana problem had been solved. This miscalculation was severely punished, and the thief and archer classes suffered heavy losses. Those who know Qian Li Yi Zui well should understand that these two classes are essential for dealing with him. We lost the effective support of these two classes, so we chose to withdraw. Now there are rumors outside that our entire guild of a thousand people was wiped out by Qian Li Yi Zui. There were people who saw the battle in Yun Ling. You can ask around to find out the truth. Qian Li Yi Zui is difficult to deal with, but as long as we unite and attack him together, are we afraid of one person with hundreds of thousands of people? Aren't you ashamed?"

"Guild Leader Ni Liu, I believe your words, but the problem is, I heard that Qian Li Yi Zui is cunning, ruthless, and vindictive. To be honest, I don't know what the other guild leaders think, but I'm quite afraid of his retaliation. The city war is fine, we can just be messed with and not get any points, but what if his retaliation continues afterward? What if he kills members of your guild whenever he sees them in Cloud City? How do we deal with that? Are we all going to play the game with hundreds of thousands of people together? That's impossible, right? We're a small guild, only about fifty people in total. Even if we all gather together, I'm afraid we can't do anything to him. Who will protect us then?"

This small guild leader spoke the minds of many guild leaders. This was a major problem in online games. Destroy, kill, kill again, destroy again, and they will resurrect and be reborn, and come out of the resurrection point to retaliate. Would Qian Li Yi Zui, a killer without equal, care about these few lives? If you're constantly worried about this killer coming out to cause trouble, how can you continue playing the game?

But Ni Liu Er Shang smiled when he heard this. However, before he could speak, someone squeezed out of the crowd and shouted angrily, "Bullshit, is Qian Li that kind of person?"

Everyone looked and saw Xi Yao Wu, Qian Li Yi Zui's colleague from Chong Sheng Zi Jing, said to be his good friend. There were also more unsavory rumors that she was Qian Li Yi Zui's mistress, and Qian Li Yi Zui's luxurious equipment was proof that he was being supported…

Xi Yao Wu struggled to come out and speak for Gu Fei. Following her was Qi Yue, who was naturally more stable than Xi Yao Wu. Seeing everyone staring in astonishment, she slowly said, "Everyone, as Guild Leader Ni Liu just said, many things are actually just misunderstandings and rumors. Qian Li is a member of our guild, and we know him very well. The kind of thing you're worried about will never happen."

"Hehe." Ni Liu Er Shang hurriedly came out with a smile and said, "Everyone heard that, right? I was just about to say that Qian Li Yi Zui is reliable. Now it's just the confrontation set by the system, there's no personal grudges, let alone future retaliation. If there are still guilds that are worried, you can take off your guild badges and cover your faces. Then you don't have to worry about exposing your identity, right?"

Everyone heard this and thought the idea made sense, so the voices of agreement suddenly increased. Xi Yao Wu scratched her head as she listened to these reactions and said, "Huh, Qi Yue, what did we do?"

Qi Yue smiled wryly. "We proved Qian Li's character, so everyone has no worries and is ready to unite and kill Qian Li."

"That's right! That's great, I'll let that kid be arrogant again!" Xi Yao Wu said indignantly. This city war was making the guild players very miserable. Even Xi Yao Wu had already died three times, while Qian Li Yi Zui had left the guild to become a defending party, seemingly having a great time, going in and out, becoming a disaster for the guild players. Xi Yao Wu had always had a competitive mentality with Gu Fei, and she felt that she wasn't as glamorous as him at all, so she felt quite uncomfortable.

"Well, we Zi Jing probably won't get any points or ranking in the city war. We might as well see how Qian Li performs as a defending party!" Qi Yue said.

"That won't do, professionalism, professionalism, we can't slack off," Xi Yao Wu said.

"Isn't no one slacking off now?" Qi Yue looked around. Compared to her and Xi Yao Wu proving Gu Fei's character, Ni Liu Er Shang's idea of removing badges and covering faces made the players feel more at ease. Many guild leaders gave orders to remove badges and cover faces, preparing to launch a pursuit against Gu Fei.

Ni Liu Er Shang felt that he was leading the masses again, and he was very happy. He continued to deliver an important speech, "Everyone, then we have reached a consensus on dealing with Qian Li Yi Zui. As long as you see him, whether it's a large guild or a small guild, you must do your best to attack him. If you have enough strength, eliminate him on the spot; if you don't have enough strength, try to delay him and wait for reinforcements. All guilds must provide assistance when they receive reports of Qian Li Yi Zui's movements. With this kind of overall action, are we still afraid of Qian Li Yi Zui alone?"

"That's right!!" Everyone cheered.

"Okay, I think everyone is very clear about Qian Li Yi Zui's characteristics. From now on, if you find Qian Li Yi Zui, immediately notify the entire guild!" Ni Liu Er Shang announced.

Those who came to the meeting were just the guild leaders. The guild members were still distributed in all directions around Cloud City. The guild leaders who participated in the meeting conveyed the spirit of the meeting, and in that instant, there were hundreds of thousands of eyes searching for Gu Fei. Almost the next moment after the news was spread, a total of 23 people suspected of being Qian Li Yi Zui were discovered in the four directions, east, west, north, and south.

A black mage robe wasn't a unique piece of equipment. Although many mages in Cloud City didn't dare to wear it for fear of being mistaken, it wasn't absolute. As for the An Ye Liu Guang sword, this target was relatively small, and it couldn't be seen unless you were close enough. Besides, Gu Fei didn't necessarily have to carry the sword, he had pockets!

The guild leaders who received the reports were all sweating. Ni Liu Er Shang's mind turned quickly, and he immediately said, "Everyone, why don't we all issue an order, requiring mages belonging to the guild to not wear black mage robes at all. Even if they're naked."

"This is a good idea!" The guild leaders praised and quickly gave the order.

Someone took it a step further and suggested, "Why don't other professions also change their equipment as much as possible, so that we'll know that anyone wearing black in Cloud City is Qian Li Yi Zui."

"Good idea!" Everyone praised and continued to give orders. So, the entire guild was united, and those with equipment changed their equipment, and those without equipment took off their equipment. For a time, a changing clothes convention began in the east, west, north, and south of Cloud City, and players with black equipment took off their black clothes.

Gu Fei was hesitating in the crowd at this time, thinking about whether to go offline or go to Yun Jiao Lake to continue observing the task. Suddenly, he noticed that the players around him were acting strangely. They all took off their guild badges and then covered their faces with cloth. After a while, many sneaky eyes were drifting over his body, and then, suddenly, many people started taking off their clothes.

"What's going on?" Gu Fei was feeling bewildered. The undressing and changing clothes had ended, and he had become the focus of everyone's attention.

How quick was Gu Fei's reaction? Recalling the group of guys who took off their black clothes, he immediately realized that this was a very targeted activity. So, Gu Fei very calmly also took off his clothes…

Gu Xiao Shang was broadcasting the real-time situation of the meeting to her Cai Yun Jian guild, and was also revealing the situation here to Han Jia Gong Zi. After just talking about this series of wonderful ideas, she received a reply of a few words from Han Jia Gong Zi, "Hahahahaha!"

"What?" Gu Xiao Shang asked.

"Changing black equipment, this idea is really cute! But what's the point? And also taking off badges and covering faces. When the time comes, Qian Li Yi Zui will also take off his clothes, cover his face, and swagger up to you and kill you guild leaders!"

Han Jia Gong Zi's reaction was very quick, but the guild leaders weren't that slow either. While many people were immersed in the joy of this collective action, some finally realized this step, "That! If Qian Li Yi Zui also takes off his equipment and covers his face, won't we never be able to recognize him?"

"This… This…" Even the person who came up with the idea realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately couldn't continue.

"Everyone, Qian Li Yi Zui's continuous retaliation… The acquaintances of Chong Sheng Zi Jing's Qian Li Yi Zui have already dispelled our doubts about this. I suggest that everyone wear their guild badges, this is our main identification tool. Next, anyone who doesn't wear a badge will be killed without exception, how about it?" Ni Liu Er Shang said.

The surroundings were once again silent. Ni Liu Er Shang's suggestion didn't receive a positive response this time. Only a few scattered people made a sound. Seeing that no one else was saying anything, the few scattered voices also died out instantly.

"How is it?" Han Jia Gong Zi continued to ask Gu Xiao Shang about the meeting.

"Ni Liu Er Shang suggested using badges as identification, no one said anything," Gu Xiao Shang said.

Han Jia Gong Zi sneered, "I knew long ago, don't have any expectations for these people at all. Before their own interests are protected, they will never contribute even a single point of strength. Isn't it selfish to the point of despair?"

"I'm back," Gu Xiao Shang replied. In the meeting circle, she stood up again, this time without any anger on her face, and said calmly like lake water, "I'm leaving."

"Xiao Shang, where are you going?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian asked in surprise.

"Chasing Qian Li Yi Zui," Gu Xiao Shang said.

"But we haven't discussed it yet!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian said.

Gu Xiao Shang disdainfully swept around the crowd, leaving behind a sentence, "Discuss my ass," and drifted away.

Everyone was covered in black lines. Many people stared at Wu Shi Zhi Jian, thinking what kind of girl are you after!

Wu Shi Zhi Jian felt depressed. He felt that he was definitely not a coward like the guys around him, but now he seemed to be treated the same as Gu Xiao Shang. How could he bear this? Wu Shi Zhi Jian glared around and said, "Wear badges for identification, kill those who don't wear badges without exception. That's the decision. The greeting has already been made here. Don't come out and whine if you're killed by mistake for not wearing a badge."

"In five minutes, my guild will issue an order to kill those who don't wear badges, especially mages," Wu Shi Zhi Jian said.

"We Dui Jiu Dang Ge will too," Ni Liu Er Shang got up and stood beside Wu Shi Zhi Jian.

With the two big guild leaders expressing their stance, many guild leaders began to stir again, observing the reactions of others around them. At this time, some small and medium-sized guilds with good relations with Zong Heng Si Hai and Dui Jiu Dang Ge also stood up to express their support. However, there were a total of five level-six guilds. Gu Xiao Shang had left first, and Yun Zhong Mu Di and Hei Se Shi Zhi were still there, but they hadn't stood up to express their stance yet. Wu Shi Zhi Jian and Ni Liu Er Shang were both watching these two.

Hei Se Shi Zhi sighed and stood up and said, "Two big guild leaders, you suffered a loss at Qian Li Yi Zui's hands, do you have to take it out on us?"

"What did you say?" The two were stunned. They didn't expect Hei Se Shi Zhi to suddenly say such a thing.

"To be honest, I've also dealt with Qian Li Yi Zui. The beauty from Chong Sheng Zi Jing seemed to say that he was a nice person? Hehe, frankly speaking, which one of you here wouldn't pretend to be a decent person in front of a beauty? Based on my impression of dealing with Qian Li Yi Zui, I don't believe his character at all. I think he will retaliate, so for the sake of my guild brothers, I have to weigh things carefully. You can say I'm timid or afraid, I don't care. In short, wearing guild badges is fine, but we won't participate in the pursuit of Qian Li Yi Zui," Hei Se Shi Zhi said.

"Fuck, Hei Se Shi Zhi, you're really a coward!!!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian roared.

"Guild Leader Wu Shi, if you're so tough, don't win over so many people, go find Qian Li Yi Zui with your guild!" Hei Se Shi Zhi said.

"Haven't I been looking for him?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian roared.

"Yes, you have, and Guild Leader Ni Liu has too. You've been looking for him in a very meaningful way. In the future, the two of you won't have to compete for who is the strongest guild in Cloud City. Without a doubt, you can't surpass Chong Sheng Zi Jing," Hei Se Shi Zhi said.

"I'll be damned!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian was really angry. He drew his sword and attacked Hei Se Shi Zhi. Hei Se Shi Zhi had been prepared for this. He raised his sword to block. He took a few steps back. Some people had followed Hei Se Shi Zhi out, and Wu Shi Zhi Jian's brothers also followed up.

"Let's go," Hei Se Shi Zhi had no intention of fighting Wu Shi Zhi Jian at all. He took his men and left.

The level-six guild Hei Se Tong Meng Hui had retreated… Those guild leaders who had concerns immediately saw a perfect solution. That's right, I'll wear a badge, but I won't participate in the pursuit. That way, neither side will bother me. That's the decision!

Thus, the second united action of the Cloud City guilds was declared bankrupt during the consultation.
