"Night Wanderer, I'm not done with you!"

At the Respawn Point, Rakshasa One-Blade Cut's face was so dark it seemed ready to drip water.

He had never expected Night Wanderer to be so shameless as to attack right inside the city.

And Ji Xing's damage output was way too high. He had activated a defensive skill, yet he still couldn't withstand the second blast and was sent straight back here.

Just as Rakshasa One-Blade Cut was beside himself with rage, Rakshasa Mad Blood called out from nearby, "Guild Leader, I'm here!"

Only then did Rakshasa One-Blade Cut remember that when he had gathered everyone earlier, Rakshasa Mad Blood had not shown up, claiming he was outside doing a quest.

Seeing Rakshasa Mad Blood now, Rakshasa One-Blade Cut felt rather resentful.

Where the hell had you been when we were getting sent back to the Respawn Point?

Rakshasa Mad Blood realized this as well and immediately said indignantly, "Guild Leader, I already heard what happened from the brothers. Let's kill our way back there now. We can't just let this slide!"

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut quickly calmed down and suppressed his anger. "We're no match for Night Wanderer and Peak Guild right now. Going back would only bring humiliation upon ourselves."

Rakshasa Mad Blood asked anxiously, "Are we just going to let it go?"

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut shook his head. "What I mean is, we need to plan before we act. Let's disband for today. I'll go do a few quests later. Perhaps I'll have a chance to obtain a Naga Bloodline Factor."

As he said this, Rakshasa One-Blade Cut grew irritated again.

At first, he had wanted to obtain a vampire Bloodline Factor, only for Night Wanderer to ruin his plans.

Later, when he had a chance to gain the Deceiver bloodline, Night Wanderer had ruined that too.

Thinking of this, Rakshasa One-Blade Cut muttered to himself, There's no way I'll run into Night Wanderer again when I go to the Eternal Royal Palace this time, right?

Rakshasa Mad Blood asked from beside him, "Guild Leader, what did you say? I didn't catch that."

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut waved a hand. "Nothing. Mad Blood, make the arrangements. Take the brothers to level up and run dungeons. I have other matters to attend to."

He then said in the guild chat, "I made everyone come here for nothing this time. I'll send out some red packets. Consider it supper money."

The guild immediately came alive.

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut was famous for being generous. After the members of Rakshasa Hall received their red packets, every one of them was beaming, and they no longer cared much about having been sent to the Respawn Point.

They had already learned from experience. Before getting sent back, they had taken off their equipment, so they had suffered virtually no losses.

As the guild atmosphere became lively again, Rakshasa Mad Blood began assigning tasks, splitting the guild members into different teams and parties.

They could either grind monsters in the wilderness or raid dungeons. There was always something to do.

Watching Rakshasa Mad Blood arrange everything in perfect order, Rakshasa One-Blade Cut sighed. "Mad Blood, it really is beneath you to be Vice Guild Leader. I'm increasingly feeling like I can't keep up. Once the time is right, you should take over as Guild Leader."

Upon hearing that, Rakshasa Mad Blood's eyes widened. He shouted with a hint of anger, "Guild Leader, what do you mean by that? Do I look like someone coveting the Guild Leader's position? Let me make this clear: if you really think that, I'll delete my account right now! I, Rakshasa Mad Blood, am absolutely not that kind of person!"

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut hurriedly said, "Mad Blood, don't misunderstand. I just feel that you've given too much to our guild."

His words were deeply sincere. Rakshasa Mad Blood's expression softened somewhat, and after pondering for a moment, he reiterated, "Guild Leader, I've followed you for six years. We've played so many games together. Don't you know what kind of person I am? I'm already more than satisfied being Vice Guild Leader."

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut sighed and said slowly, "Sigh, it's mainly because that bastard Night Wanderer keeps opposing us at every turn. I'm getting tired."

Rakshasa Mad Blood quickly comforted him. "Guild Leader, you can't give up like this. The brothers are still waiting for you to lead us in crushing Peak Guild!"

After saying that, he looked toward the others. "Brothers, isn't that right?"

Everyone immediately chimed in.

"That's right! I joined Rakshasa Hall because I can't stand Night Wanderer's behavior!"

"Guild Leader Rakshasa, I believe in you."

"Hmph, I've wanted to cut down Night Wanderer and seize the title of number one on the server for a long time."

"Guild Leader, lead the brothers in one more charge."

Rakshasa One-Blade Cut was deeply moved by their words. With a broad wave of his hand, he declared, "Brothers, hurry up and level. Based on my estimation, this game will definitely have guild battles and similar events. When that time comes, we'll show Peak what we're made of!"

In Linggang City, the gathered players quickly dispersed.

Peak Guild had claimed all the Demon Teleportation Gates here. They could not even get a single demon, so there was no point in staying. They might as well head out of the city to level up. They had heard there were demons outside the city as well.

When the players eagerly arrived outside the city and finally followed the demons' tracks to a Teleportation Gate, they saw a pitch-black giant dragon flying overhead and demon corpses covering the ground.

Looking closer, they realized—damn it, it was Night Wanderer again!

Qin Chuan felt a little embarrassed as well. "I happened to stumble across this Teleportation Gate."

What else could the other players say? They promptly turned around and left.

Why kill demons? They might as well go find wild boars. The grasslands outside Linggang City were lush and plentiful, and there were wild boars everywhere.

On the Shadow Dragon's back, Song Ling asked worriedly, "Guild Leader, won't we provoke the resentment of the other players by doing this?"

Qin Chuan killed a newly appeared demon with a throwing knife and casually replied, "It doesn't matter. Once your levels rise, you'll encounter situations like this too. Apocalypse is a rather special game. The gap in strength between players can be enormous."

Oudis picked up the thread. "Indeed. I noticed it back in the Newbie Village. Many players had to struggle tremendously just to kill a small monster, but I found it quite easy. All it took was blocking and counterattacking."

Tian Xing added, "I think those players were right earlier. Game resources like wild monsters belong to whoever is capable of taking them. We can't deliberately slow down our monster farming just to accommodate other players, can we?"

The others all expressed their agreement.

As they spoke, the rate at which demons spawned slowed, and the Teleportation Gate began to dim.

Qin Chuan said, "Looks like this Teleportation Gate is nearly out of energy. Ji Xing's side is probably about the same."

After checking the newcomers' levels, he found that aside from De Ba De, who had not completed his advancement quest and was stuck at level ten, everyone else had reached level twenty. Tian Xing was level twenty-two, slightly ahead of the rest.

This was all thanks to the unnamed player who had created the Demon Teleportation Gates. Otherwise, the Sea Race gathered by the Hand of the Dead would not have been enough to raise the newcomers to this level.

A moment later, the Demon Teleportation Gate collapsed with a thunderous crash.

A notification also rang out through the sky.

Congratulations to all players. The Emergency Event has ended, and the demons have been repelled!

In the guild chat, Ji Xing and the others were excitedly discussing the battle from earlier.

Qin Chuan, however, pondered in silence.

Come to think of it, I didn't see that kid Rakshasa Mad Blood when Rakshasa Hall gathered earlier.

Could the Teleportation Gate outside the city have been created by him?

At this stage, the only ones who should be connected to demons are Rakshasa Hall, who had been in the City of Yellow Sand.

If Rakshasa Mad Blood created the Teleportation Gate outside the city, then what about the one inside? Rakshasa One-Blade Cut? But he brought people over to farm demons, which doesn't quite add up.

Emmm... Could it be that the Deformed Tendon from before caught the attention of an Ancient God, preventing him from joining the demon faction?

Interesting.
