At this time in Twilight City, Big Bear Deng Deng An was furiously busy posting on the game forum.
Strong Baldy exclaimed, “Void Blade has swept past all who stood before them. Quan Zhen Sect is just one more of these challengers who got beaten.”
King Ji Ji replied, “What a whole bunch of nonsense, Quan Zhen Sect is just a small fry. They are unworthy of us to give any attention to.”
Radish Head, “This is extraordinary news, Quan Zhen Sect was caught by Void Blade near the resurrection point. Twilight City is going to have a change of name already.”
…
Such a post was bound to attract a lot of controversies and even the moderators could not delete it in time.
It was not only Big Bear Deng Deng An but the local players of Twilight City were also having fun watching the drama unfold.
Twilight City was in an uproar when the news was released that Quan Zhen Sect had accepted an S-grade mercenary quest. As Big Bear Deng Deng An sent out such a city-wide notification, the excitement in Twilight City was brought up a notch. People came running over to gossip.
“Wasn’t it that the Quan Zhen Sect had just accepted an S-grade quest in the morning and were extremely arrogant about it? Why did they get taken care of even so quickly?”
“Oh, didn’t I tell you before that Quan Zhen Sect’s abilities have been overexaggerated these days. How can slightly more than ten people expect to fight a big guild?”
“I agree, this time they have met their match. You really think every guild is as weak as Sanguine Alliance?”
“Sanguine Alliance is past their prime. They should really learn from Void Blade and directly recruit professional experts. This time, Void Blade was really able to eliminate that bunch of trash from the Quan Zhen Sect.”
…
Messages such as this quickly filled Twilight City. Even the fans of Quan Zhen Sect could not help but feel worried for its members upon hearing these news.
Sanguine Warflag did not want to miss on the drama. Hearing all the post discussing the events that transpired, he provided his own take on the events since he was most familiar to both parties involved.
Although it was Quan Zhen Sect that was destroyed, why did it seem that more people were hating on the Sanguine Alliance instead?
In actual fact, this was bound to happen. Quan Zhen Sect’s performances in battle were extremely admirable. With just ten people, they managed to contend with the professional experts of Void Blade. Even if they lost, they had retained their dignity.
This was different for Sanguine Alliance. Being a guild that has been around for a long time, getting destroyed by Quan Zhen Sect was something very embarrassing. Furthermore, it was Void Blade which was able to avenge Sanguine Alliance after their defeat. This left Sanguine Alliance in an awkward position.
Sanguine Warflag was unable to debate every person that was insulting him and begrudgingly went back to playing the game.
“Boss, this is mega news! Void Blade has taken care of by Quan Zhen Sect.” Sanguine Warflag had just come online and immediately Sanguine Darkness provided him with a timely update.
Sanguine Warflag said disdainfully, “Of course I know about this, I personally sold the ten coordinates for one gold coin to Quan Zhen Sect…”
Sanguine Warflag knew the true ability of the Quan Zhen Sect. Even professional experts could not hope to match them, what more the weaker players from Void Blade.
“It is not the trashy players from Void Blade! It is Sanguine Rain and the others!” Sanguine Darkness replied.
“Huh! Sanguine Rain and the rest? Are you kidding me? What about the other people from Void Blade?”
Sanguine Warflag was agitated when he heard this new development and was in a state of shock.
Sanguine Alliance had cooperated with Quan Zhen Sect before. Sanguine Rain was also Sanguine Alliance’s previous guild leader thus Sanguine Warflag had a good understanding of both sides.
Sanguine Rain and Sanguine Red, coupled with the large number of Void Blade members, should have been more than enough to give Quan Zhen Sect a good fight.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore!” Sanguine Darkness coldly let out a sigh. “Void Blade went to scout on Quan Zhen Sect, but instead was ambushed near the resurrection point and did not dare to come out. Sanguine Rain brought a whole team to capture Quan Zhen Sect members but they were surrounded by the crafty Fearless.”
“Surrounded? Where did Fearless find a whole group of professional experts?” Sanguine Warflag was dumbfounded.
Sanguine Alliance had countless members and Sanguine Warflag would not have known the fact that three members from Quan Zhen Sect were stuck in the resurrection point. At this point, a total of eight individuals from Quan Zhen Sect managed to hold back the ten people from Sanguine Rain’s squad.
Sanguine Darkness said, “The group of eight indeed exterminated Sanguine Rain’s whole group!”
“Eight people exterminated an entire squad of professional experts? You scoundrel, don’t you dare lie to me!” Sanguine Warflag could not help but exclaim.
There was a clear disparity between ordinary players and professionals. Sanguine Warflag was clear of the feat it had been for eight ordinary players to eliminate a group of professional experts.
Sanguine Darkness said, “I was crouching at one corner as the fight occurred, if not even I wouldn’t dare to believe it.”
“How many casualties were there on the side of Quan Zhen Sect ?” Sanguine Warflag asked expectantly.
Sanguine Darkness hesitated for a moment before replying, “Zero casualties…”
Sanguine Warflag slumped into the chair and exclaimed, “Zero casualties… That’s simply impossible! Even in the heydays of Sanguine Alliance, we have never achieved that kind of results in a professional match… How did they even manage to accomplish this?”
“They have Iron Bull!” Sanguine Darkness said.
“Iron Bull…” Sanguine Warflag pondered over Sanguine Darkness words and Wang Yu’s tall and heroic figure appeared in his mind. Sanguine Warflag was stunned and asked, “Do you think that guy has already reached the level of strength of God of War?”
There were many professional experts in the top echelons of the game. With regard to Wang Yu’s relative strength to these experts, he was definitely ranked near the top, just slightly above Sanguine Rain.
However, in the face of the new developments, Sanguine Warflag felt that even he had underestimated the true strength of Wang Yu.
“I’m not too sure, but Wang Yu himself held back five people. He even held the advantage when one of the five was Sanguine Rain…” Sanguine Darkness quipped.
“…” Sanguine Darkness words caused Sanguine Warflag to be momentarily overwhelmed. He said, “Relay my orders. Everyone, go and post on the game forum.”
“What do we post?”
“Post the whole truth regarding the fact that Quan Zhen Sect has beaten Void Blade!”
“Is this the right thing to do?” Sanguine Darkness said with a little uncertainty.
“When Void Blade came to poach our experts back then, they did not care whether their actions were right or not!” Sanguine Warflag replied.
Sanguine Darkness asked, “What message are we sending by doing this?”
“Hehe!” Sanguine Warflag chuckled. “Void Blade has lost face this time. We definitely have to hit them while they are down. Even if we do not do that, Quan Zhen Sect will definitely cause a big commotion in regards to this matter. In the end, we might be the ones that are implicated.”
