Demons Attack, Rules of the Game

Even if we don't become good friends, we should at least leave a good impression.

After all, they really don't want to provoke, and can't afford to provoke, experts of this level.

As soon as Ning Fengzhi spoke, the three Titled Douluo beside him seemed to wake from a dream and greeted Zhongli and the others as well.

Aside from Klee and Paimon, aren't all of Zhongli's group shrewd and cunning?

(Klee and Paimon:??? Are you kidding me?)

They had naturally seen through Ning Fengzhi and his companions' little scheme long ago.

However, they didn't care. After all, they had only just met, and the two sides were not equal in strength, so it was normal for them to be a little wary.

So, with Wu Tong acting as a go-between, the group quickly began to chat and became acquainted.

Just as everyone was talking, the Spirit Hall's forces arrived at the scene at top speed.

"Greetings to His Excellency Wu Tong, and greetings to all the seniors!" ×n.

Upon arrival, Qian Xunyu and other high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall immediately stepped forward to greet Wu Tong and the others.

Wu Tong nodded, accepting the answer readily, "Mm!"

"There's no need for that..."

"Hello, nice to meet you all!"

As ruling deities, Zhongli and Venti were already accustomed to the adoration of their subjects.

So when he saw the Spirit Hall's attitude, he simply replied with a casual remark.

After the two gods finished replying, the others also politely greeted them.

Hmm... Only Alice's answer Taiyi, because she had her eye on the exceptionally beautiful Qian Xunyu...

"Wow, you're so pretty, miss! Would you be interested in joining my Teyvat Idol Group?"

"Ah, no, it should be called the Douluo Idol Group now!"

Alice's eyes lit up when she saw Qian Xunyu, and she leaned closer to her with a smile.

"Uh... I'm sorry, Ms. Alice, I'm not really interested in becoming an idol or anything like that."

Although she has stayed in the Divine Realm since becoming a god and has not cared about worldly affairs, this does not mean that she is completely ignorant of the Douluo World.

After all, it must be said that although the Tianshui Girl Group's skills are not that great, they are still quite famous!

Alice was unconcerned when she heard Qian Xunyu's rejection.

After all, she had expected this outcome. If it were that easy to succeed, then this world wouldn't be the kind of Xuanhuan World where the strong rule!

Although she was rejected, Alice was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, she was now full of fighting spirit.

(Alice's domineering CEO version: Ha, you dare to refuse me? Woman, you've successfully caught my attention!)

After all, she had invited Barbara more than once, and although she hadn't succeeded in inviting her yet, she remained persistent, which shows how terrifying her perseverance was.

So, after being explicitly rejected by Qian Xunyu, Alice acted as if nothing had happened and continued to approach him, shamelessly pestering him:

"Oh, don't be so quick to refuse! Let me tell you, joining my idol group has a lot of benefits, like..."

There are two sides to the story.

Just as Alice was pestering Qian Xunyu, telling her about the benefits of joining an idol group.

On the other side, Ning Fengzhi stood before Qian Daoliu, looking at the solemn and unsmiling Great Priest of the Spirit Hall, and said with a forced smile:

"Hehe... Your Great Priest, I didn't expect our two families to be so close. And... your Spirit Hall arrived quite quickly!"

Although it sounded like a compliment, the tone was full of sarcasm, clearly indicating that they were not very welcoming of the Spirit Hall's arrival.

However, Ning Fengzhi's attitude is actually quite normal.

After all, considering the speed at which the Spirit Hall arrived and how they learned about the situation at the base, it was already quite chilling to think about.

Keep in mind that Wu Tong had only been there for a few minutes when the Spirit Hall group already knew about it and arrived here as quickly as possible.

What does this tell us?

This shows that they were clearly nearby and had been monitoring them all along.

Hiding nearby, but never showing itself, it silently watched them from the shadows...

Ning Fengzhi could guess perfectly well what the Spirit Hall was really up to with such actions:

They're just using the "mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" mentality to try and reap the benefits.

It's foreseeable that if Wu Tong hadn't suddenly appeared, everything they did today might have been a boon to the Spirit Hall, and their World Conquest Progress would have plummeted to rock bottom...

Thinking about this, Ning Fengzhi felt a wave of fear wash over him.

Although Wu Tong prohibited the major forces from killing each other in the world of conquest and ensured the personal safety of the personnel of the major forces, this rule was not without loopholes.

There are countless ways to take someone's belongings without hurting them.

If the Spirit Hall guys really succeed, although their personal safety will not be threatened, everything they have done, plus their status in Wu Tong's heart, will inevitably be affected.

In this grand sweep of Conquest of All Realms, what consequences would arise if one's standing in the leader's eyes were to decline? It's almost self-evident!

Therefore, after figuring it out, Ning Fengzhi was naturally not very happy when he saw Qian Daoliu and the others in front of him.

"... I'm sorry, although I don't really want to do this, it's something I have to do!"

Qian Daoliu naturally understood Ning Fengzhi's veiled sarcasm, so after a moment of silence, he said with a slightly apologetic tone.

At his core, Qian Daoliu is still a person who adheres to the spirit of chivalry. Although he has decided not to show mercy, he still has some reservations in his heart.

Therefore, when faced with Ning Fengzhi's questioning, Qian Daoliu did not deny it, but readily admitted it.

Although he had reservations, if he were really asked to take action, Qian Daoliu would choose to do so without hesitation.

After all, no matter how much he cares, when it comes to matters of personal interest, especially those concerning the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu would never back down.

This has nothing to do with emotions; it's purely a consideration based on one's own perspective.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi remained silent, but instead gave Qian Daoliu a deep look.

As the leader of a faction, Ning Fengzhi could rationally understand Qian Daoliu's thoughts and actions, but emotionally he could not accept or approve of them.

(Ning Fengzhi: Nonsense, should victims sympathize with perpetrators? What kind of bullshit logic is that?)

Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi felt an urge to fight the Spirit Hall regardless of everything.

However, the disparity in strength between the two sides forced him to swallow his grievances...

Thinking about this...

Grass!!!

This is so damn frustrating!

"Beep~ Beep~ Beep~..."

Just as the atmosphere at the scene became strange.

A series of sharp alarm sirens rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

"This is... Feng Zhi, it seems Kibutsuji Muzan has arrived!!!"

Chen Xin were sharp, and he immediately spotted the evil spirits that had suddenly appeared around the camp. A solemn expression appeared on his face.

If it were just evil spirits, they certainly wouldn't care.

However, the presence of evil spirits in the arena now is not the only one. The appearance of the Spirit Hall makes them have to think twice.

The others were not ordinary people either. When Chen Xin saw the evil spirit appear, they naturally saw its attack as well, given their eyesight.

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

Neither the higher-ups of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School nor the Spirit Hall paid any attention to the evil spirit who was engaged in a fierce battle with his disciples.

Instead, they immediately turned their gaze to the other person, a mysterious and enigmatic glint flashing in their eyes.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhongli and the others simply watched quietly. After all, not knowing the whole story, they refrained from making any comments or saying much.

Wu Tong, however, was rubbing his head, looking slightly troubled.

It seems he was a bit naive back then, thinking that after dealing with the troublemakers and parasites and establishing a rule that forbids infighting among the major powers, they could work together to develop the Otherworld.

However, they completely forgot that the various forces in the Douluo Continent ultimately belong to different factions. Everyone has a different position, so naturally they need to seek benefits for their respective camps. This alone makes it impossible for them to work together.

Furthermore, the relationships between the forces in the Douluo World are not very good; some forces are even hostile and mortal enemies.

Therefore, it was all too common for people to sabotage each other and steal the spoils of war.

Thinking of this, Wu Tong couldn't help but sigh inwardly: 'Alas... I didn't consider this carefully!'

However, even though he knew this, Wu Tong no longer had any intention of making changes.

The reason is quite simple.

Humans are inherently selfish, and it is perfectly normal for them to strive for the interests of their own faction. Blindly suppressing them will only backfire.

Furthermore, the different factions they belong to will inevitably prevent them from connecting. Even if they are forcibly brought together, various problems will arise due to the unequal distribution of benefits.

Fortunately, we let this matter go from the beginning and let them fight it out on their own.

As long as they don't cause trouble in the Douluo World, don't kill anyone, and successfully complete all the objectives of the conquest plan, he's too lazy to care about anything else!

Moreover, doing so might even allow them to exploit the power and profit disparities between factions to incite infighting among them.

There's a saying that goes, "If the employees do well, the boss will eat his fill," so he has no reason to stop them, right?

Well... most importantly, he simply doesn't have the mood to deal with it right now! He's already had enough on his plate lately!

Having regained his composure and figured things out, Wu Tong waved his hand, interrupting the standoff between the two groups still locked in a confrontation.

After drawing everyone's attention, he calmly began to speak:

"Alright, it was my oversight that I forgot about the relationships between your various factions..."

"From now on, you can rely on your own abilities to conquer the world."

"But today is an exception..."

At this point, Wu Tong paused, thought for a moment, looked at the two groups from the Spirit Hall and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and then continued:

"In that case, how about I set some Rule for this hunt?"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

They dared not object to Wu Tong's suggestion.

It's worth noting that along with Wu Tong's laziness, he was also notorious for his Mind's Eye.

Who knows if Wu Tong will get angry after I offer my opinion?

Losing face and losing favor are minor matters, but if you anger Wu Tong and lose your life, that would be a much bigger problem!

They've worked so hard to cultivate to this level of strength, and they haven't even had enough time to enjoy it yet. How could they possibly be willing to perish like this?

(Wu Tong:... No, are you guys kidding me!)

Look into my eyes, tell me!

Am I really that cruel? Tell me.

Wu Tong, who hadn't activated mind-reading, was unaware of what everyone was thinking at that moment.

So, seeing that everyone in front of him agreed, Wu Tong nodded with satisfaction and smiled, saying:

"In that case, let me share my thoughts!"

"Before we get to that, let me ask you a question... You all probably know about the World Conquest Progress points, but you don't know the percentage of conquest points allocated to each character, right?"

The crowd nodded in agreement with Wu Tong's words. They knew about the World Conquest Progress, but they didn't know much about the percentage.

Wu Tong was quite satisfied with everyone's cooperation, but he remained outwardly calm and continued, "Now I can tell you..."

"Kibutsuji Muzan has 50% of the World Conquest Progress, the Twelve Kizuki together have 20%, and the Demon Slayer Corps members have 30%. That's the total conquest points for the entire Demon Slayer world."

"In other words, once I successfully take down these people, I will reclaim this world and make it the lower realm of the Douluo World, thus contributing to the evolution of the Douluo World."

Everyone nodded knowingly. It seemed their guess was correct. Although they didn't know the percentage of points needed to conquer the boss, Kibutsuji Muzan and the Twelve Kizuki were still as valuable as ever!

Ignoring the eager crowd whose eyes were now gleaming with anticipation, Wu Tong continued:

"I just checked, and apart from the Demon Slayer Corps, Kibutsuji Muzan and the Twelve Kizuki are all here. That means there's a 70% chance of them being defeated..."

At this point, Wu Tong, Zhongli, and the others all heard a series of heavy breathing sounds suddenly coming from both sides.

Like a starving wolf suddenly seeing countless pieces of mutton before it—greedy, craving, frantic...
