Hu Die Lan
Chapter 387 Making an Issue of It
At the entrance to the City of Sin dungeon, people were suddenly gathering. But for a place that was already a hub of activity, this slight change went largely unnoticed.
These extra characters were clustered around a particular entrance, standing there motionlessly, their gazes fixed on the dungeon entrance, as if ready to go in at any moment. But to a keen observer, it would be apparent that these characters had been standing there for at least twenty minutes, still not entering the dungeon.
Time passed. Some players without teams, trying to organize a pick-up group near the dungeon entrance, finally noticed this strange bunch.
They seemed to have formed teams, but it was unclear if they had enough members. They seemed to ignore other people's requests to join, leaving them hanging. All their attention, like that of their characters, was fixed on the dungeon entrance.
Gradually, within this group of players, some rather well-known character IDs began to appear. These IDs were familiar to many because they were ranked at the top of the leaderboards in the tenth server, and now quite a few of them were here.
High-level characters needed to continue leveling up, and the City of Sin was a suitable dungeon, which wasn't strange in itself. But what was odd was that these people insisted on gathering at this dungeon entrance and, like the first group, had been there for quite a while without reacting.
Some curious players were starting to quietly observe these characters.
They moved!
Suddenly, someone noticed that all the characters had changed.
Their feet shifted slightly forward, as if about to charge; their hands seemed to lift slightly, as if ready to attack; their view also adjusted in unison, focusing even more intensely on a certain spot.
Curious players quickly followed their gaze and turned their own view, then saw an even more famous ID: Jun Mo Xiao.
Although Jun Mo Xiao wasn't the highest-level character in the tenth server, he was definitely the most famous and, in many people's eyes, the most powerful.
Were these people waiting for Jun Mo Xiao?
The curious players wondered to themselves, and then saw several characters beside Jun Mo Xiao. Before they could clearly see everyone's name, the characters disappeared together.
Disappearing at the dungeon entrance, of course, meant they had entered the dungeon.
And those strange people outside the dungeon froze again, like statues.
And the leaders of these strange people, the heads of the seven major guilds, now had very ugly expressions on their faces.
"Clearly, he's playing us," Tian Nanxing of Zhongcaotang said, stating his opinion.
Yan Yu Suo Lou, the head of Yanyu Lou, had the ugliest expression of all. His guild had suffered the most losses tonight, and he had been the one to excitedly contact the other guilds to initiate this action. He had originally thought he could use the opportunity to create trouble, but instead, they were all standing miserably outside the dungeon, in a dilemma.
His idea was actually quite simple. Because their club was very concerned about its image, even though Jun Mo Xiao had blatantly formed a guild, they could only behave respectfully on the surface, resorting to underhanded tactics behind the scenes.
But now, Jun Mo Xiao and the others were launching a powerful counterattack and pursuit against them, chasing them all the way from Thousand Wave Lake to the City of Sin.
If there hadn't been other players in Thousand Wave Lake, the major guilds could have engaged in team battles. But in the City of Sin, they had to pay attention to their reputation.
However, Jun Mo Xiao now had the initiative. If he attacked the major guilds here in the City of Sin, then their counterattack would be justified, and no one could say they were in the wrong.
After learning that Jun Mo Xiao and the others had chased them to the City of Sin, Yan Yu Suo Lou was initially furious. But then he quickly came up with this idea. The leader of a club guild certainly had more than just the ability to burst into tears.
Jun Mo Xiao's appearance was noticed not only by Yanyu Lou. The other guilds also saw him and were discussing countermeasures, especially Zhongcaotang, Huangfeng, and Tapo Xukong, which had just suffered blows after the Thousand Wave Lake dungeon. Although the losses varied, their feelings of grief and indignation were almost identical.
It was at this moment that Yan Yu Suo Lou contacted them one by one, explaining his plan.
Upon hearing this, the guild leaders immediately realized that this was indeed an opportunity. If they could use this as an excuse well, they could even take the opportunity to start a war against the Xingxin guild and reveal their overall strength advantage.
So the major guilds mobilized their troops, and the loyal members who were at the City of Sin level were summoned. Even if they couldn't take the opportunity to start a war, they were determined to use their numerical advantage to wipe out Jun Mo Xiao and his team here.
But first, they needed Jun Mo Xiao and his team to attack them first.
Club guilds also had their own troubles. It was like the famous sects in martial arts novels; they had to act with a reason and couldn't act like bandits on a mountain, doing whatever they wanted.
A moment ago, everyone was racking their brains to avoid Jun Mo Xiao's pursuit. Now, in a different location, they were eagerly anticipating Jun Mo Xiao to attack them quickly.
As a result, Jun Mo Xiao seemed to have no interest in these level 40 or lower grunts. The guild leaders also knew that his target wasn't here, so they summoned characters above level 40, in the top 100 of the level rankings, to attract aggro.
Then they saw Jun Mo Xiao's group of five enter the City of Sin dungeon.
The guild leaders, who had been full of anticipation, felt their hearts sink.
"Didn't he see them?" someone guessed.
"Impossible, how could he not see them? They're so obvious!" This plan was well-prepared, and all the guild leaders had created accounts and personally come to observe. At the dungeon entrance, their own top 100 characters were so prominent, flaunting their power. How could he not see them?
"Wait?" someone suggested.
"Let's wait, set up a formation, and wait for them to come out of the dungeon."
Thus, the opening scene occurred. Numerous characters stood there foolishly, all waiting for Jun Mo Xiao and his team to come out of the dungeon, and then politely asking Lord Jun Mo Xiao to attack them, so that they could take the opportunity to counterattack.
As the saying goes, Heaven rewards those who put their heart into it. They finally waited, and they were ready to go. Some were preparing to attack, while others were standing in the best position to be attacked, waiting for Jun Mo Xiao's attack.
But Jun Mo Xiao didn't even glance at them and entered the dungeon again.
Tian Nanxing, the head of Zhongcaotang, had previously suspected whether Jun Mo Xiao really didn't see their people or was deliberately ignoring them. This time, he finally confirmed it and came to the conclusion that they were being played.
"In the past half hour... not only have our elites not been leveling up, but most of our second-tier members have also been brought here to stand guard," Tian Nanxing said.
"This... this guy is too cunning!" Yan Yu Suo Lou said powerlessly.
"He knows this trick too well, we can't fool him at all. He's also using this as an excuse to waste our time," Ma Tasi Feng said gloomily.
Everyone fell silent. Indeed, ordinary players didn't understand the helplessness of club guilds, but how could Ye Qiu, the pro player, not understand? He already knew that in such a place, they couldn't openly attack him. If they wanted to attack, they had to send some wild accounts. But after developing to this point, most of the wild accounts that the guilds had on hand had already infiltrated other guilds. The remaining few could still deal with ordinary fights, but facing two all-star-level pro players who were also at a level disadvantage, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths. It wasn't that the major guilds didn't want to send out wild accounts, but the strength of the wild accounts they currently had was simply not enough.
Perhaps all of this had been seen through by this terrifying opponent, so he was so confident and at ease. Step by step, whether he attacked or didn't attack, he was causing losses to the major guilds. And what about him? He was leveling up by farming monsters in the wild at Thousand Wave Lake and running dungeons in the City of Sin. Although leveling up was a bit distracted, it wasn't too delayed overall.
In the end, the guild leaders didn't even have a consultation summary. They just silently issued instructions. The players outside the dungeon entrance gradually dispersed.
Those curious players who were waiting and thought there would be a show to watch were all dumbfounded. Looking back at the whole process, these players who had stood there like fools for so long seemed to have only gotten excited for a moment when Jun Mo Xiao appeared. And now that they had left, were they waiting just to see Jun Mo Xiao for such a simple glance? What a deep love was that?
Ye Xiu and his team of five finished their second run of the City of Sin dungeon. When they came out, they saw that the group of characters who had been eyeing them covetously were all gone.
"They're all gone..." Tang Rou's tone was obviously tinged with regret, regretting that they hadn't been able to fight.
"What a pity..." Ye Xiu actually had the same tone as her. Of course, he wasn't regretting that they hadn't fought. He was just regretting that they had only wasted so little of the other side's time. If the other side could stand there like fools all night, Ye Xiu would probably be somewhat satisfied.
"Continue with the dungeon?" Tang Rou asked.
"One more run. Everyone's here. Let's finish it. We also need to cherish our time," Ye Xiu said.
So the five of them ran the dungeon one more time. After they came out, the night was already quite late. Su Mucheng couldn't conveniently play games all night, so she logged off first. That guy, Ma Hou Pao, had originally come for Su Mucheng. He was full of energy when he played with his idol. But when he saw Su Mucheng log off, his spirit went down by eighty or ninety percent. After asking for instructions, he also logged off.
"The three of us have nowhere to go anyway. Let's go to Thousand Wave Lake!" Ye Xiu said.
"Continue to cause trouble for them?" Tang Rou asked.
"Leveling up is the main thing. Causing trouble is just a side benefit," Ye Xiu said.
"Understood, understood!" Tang Rou replied.
"How is it? Interesting?" Ye Xiu asked Qian Cheng. "You should be happy to be causing trouble everywhere, right?"
Qian Cheng was speechless. Was he someone who liked to cause trouble? But then he thought about it and realized that he was indeed...(To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in , more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
