The grand New Year's atmosphere of Godslayer City was broadcast online.
Countless netizens shed tears of envy upon seeing it.
If they could become infected, they could have joined the revelry sooner, right?
Those who participated in this New Year, the infected, proudly displayed their experiences online.
This stirred more people to eagerly desire becoming infected.
Their sense of belonging to the Alliance grew increasingly weak.
The elite soldiers belonging to the Alliance also took leave to go home.
Whether they would return or not was a mystery for the Alliance!
The Blue Star Lord Alliance, at this moment, was like the dead of winter.
Compared to the festive New Year celebrations outside, their expressions were chillingly grim.
"These people online... have been thoroughly deceived. Their hearts no longer belong to the Alliance!"
"Why don't we issue a notice, anyone who intends to become infected will be killed!"
Seeing Li Jiang about to erupt, he was immediately countered.
"We cannot."
The older generation still understood the gravity of the situation. "If we force the masses to make a choice, it will surely backfire."
"Then what do we do now?"
"Aren't War God Mu and the others finding ways to become stronger?"
Someone placed their hope on the female War God.
Li Jiang's face darkened. "We cannot bet on the female War God. We need to find our own way to deal with Xiao Ye."
However, within the Alliance, everyone appeared disheartened.
"What methods can we possibly have? Xiao Ye's Godslayer City is immensely powerful, and the Alliance Leader and the others are all dead..."
At the Alliance's central meeting, sighs were constant.
Suddenly.
Grandma Wang anxiously pushed open the door, interrupting Li Jiang's discussion.
"Lord Li, something's wrong, War God Mu... War God Mu..."
Seeing her unable to speak clearly from excitement, Li Jiang immediately understood.
He led everyone present and rushed out.
Upon reaching the outside of the Alliance, Li Jiang and the others hurried to find War God Mu.
Chu Fei's figure rushed over, her expression somewhat grim.
"War God Mu is consuming the Mystic Pool, quickly stop her."
Mystic Pool? httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Li Jiang and the others were shocked. That was something consumed during near-death.
After consuming it, one's strength could be elevated to its peak.
However, this strength was achieved by burning one's life force. Generally, after the medicinal effect wore off, the person would be near death.
Had Mu Qinglan gone mad?
When they found Mu Qinglan, she had consumed all the Mystic Pool.
The Mystic Pool was silver, a liquid of flowing silver sand.
The entire Alliance had few Mystic Pools, and Mu Qinglan had swallowed them all at once.
Mu Qinglan's face turned red and contorted in pain, yet a fierce unwillingness and dominance emanated from her.
An aura of supreme authority spread from Mu Qinglan.
They were instantly shocked, "War God Mu, why are you using such means to become stronger?"
"As long as I can defeat Xiao Ye and protect the Alliance's bottom line, what does it matter if I sacrifice myself?"
Mu Qinglan's red lips spoke with dominance. She did not want to be defeated by Xiao Ye.
Especially by a nobody she once looked down upon.
If she were to die, she would do so standing tall.
"You consumed so much Mystic Pool, the damage is irreversible. There's no way to undo it..."
Mu Qinglan looked at her arm. She was now filled with power.
She said, "As long as I can defeat Xiao Ye, that's enough."
She would not hesitate to sacrifice her life.
Chu Fei had not expected Mu Qinglan to be so extreme, using such desperate measures to harm Xiao Ye.
With a pale face, she stiffly asked, "Mu Qinglan, why would you harm yourself to eliminate Xiao Ye?"
"Stop protecting Xiao Ye."
Mu Qinglan knew Chu Fei still harbored feelings for Xiao Ye, but she harbored deep hatred.
She turned her head, coldly and disdainfully, "Xiao Ye will surely die by my hand."
Li Jiang and the others exchanged glances. Since Mu Qinglan was using such a monstrous method to enhance her strength,
they only needed to follow suit and climb higher.
"War God Mu's sacrifice for our Alliance is truly righteous. As long as we can eliminate Xiao Ye this time, we will surely inscribe your name on the highest merits."
Mu Qinglan had always been ambitious, craving recognition.
Li Jiang's words had hit the mark.
Mu Qinglan wished she could fight Xiao Ye right now, her expression filled with coldness and disdain.
However, Li Jiang and the others managed to calm Mu Qinglan. "You cannot leave the Alliance now. When Xiao Ye comes to attack us, you can then majestically trample him underfoot, allowing the masses to see who is the true protector."
"If you go find Xiao Ye now, and he brings his forces to attack the Alliance, with no one to defend it, you'll fall into his trap."
Seeing Li Jiang and the others offering their plans, Mu Qinglan was not a rash person. She listened carefully.
"We plan to work from the inside and outside, first by sending in undercover agents..."
After listening to the strategy, Mu Qinglan nodded.
"Let's proceed with your plan for now. I will be Blue Star's final trump card."
Chu Fei's expression was complex. She thought the matter was settled.
But she hadn't expected Mu Qinglan to resort to such extreme measures, nor did she know... if Xiao Ye would encounter any unforeseen circumstances.
On the first morning of the New Year,
countless people were in high spirits, their eyes fixed on the city walls.
As if possessing infinite hope.
Little Xi, seeing Xiao Ye appear in the main hall, wearing the peace charm she gave him,
could not hide her joy.
Xiao Ye had summoned all the infected today. Gu Feng and others tallied their numbers.
Their infected had increased by more than a hundredfold, totaling over a hundred million.
These over a hundred million infected had become Xiao Ye's vanguard.
Xiao Ye sat in the main hall, contemplating. He said, "Are we ready to attack the Alliance?"
"We are ready!"
Seeing Xiao Ye's calm and casual demeanor, Gu Feng and the others knelt respectfully.
They eagerly awaited his command.
Xiao Ye's divine power was invincible, and he was also ready to bloodbath the Alliance.
"We will temporarily cease recruiting infected. We depart later."
As Xiao Ye's calm voice rang out, thunderous cheers were heard.
Everyone withdrew.
Little Xi was still standing in the hall. She hadn't had a chance to speak.
Xiao Ye quietly told Little Xi, "Will you wait for me in the city?"
Little Xi naturally wouldn't refuse Xiao Ye. She nodded in agreement.
Xiao Ye's eyes twitched slightly, and he smiled faintly.
As he walked out of the main hall, the system's voice appeared in Xiao Ye's mind, [Host...]
Xiao Ye raised an eyebrow, [System, are you trying to stop me from attacking the Alliance?]
[No, I want to tell you that after dealing with the Alliance, you spared the lives of two female War Gods. They still have a purpose for you.]
[What purpose? Do I still need to whitewash myself now?]
Hearing Xiao Ye's steady voice, the system completely gave up, [Your villainous identity hasn't been completely washed away. If you want to break free from the rules, you must get rid of the villainous setting.]
