The Great Sacrifice, Rife with Intrigue

The power's finally back on! It's been two days and three nights! The moment the lights came on felt like I came alive. Time to update again! Please subscribe! Today's update is stable!

"Brother Li, why do I always feel like that guy from the Steel Ghost Claw Guild is up to no good?"

"You don't know this, do you? That fool's son also graduated this year. I think he's the one whose top position you took away. He has the Soul Hunter skill."

Killing them will grant you Ghost, and among units of the same type, his Undead Transformation speed is much faster than others.

Now you should understand why, right?

"He's playing like this, isn't he afraid of crashing? No, he's already crashed, and he hasn't been punished at all."

"Of course there is. This matter has blown up. That fool won't get away with it. But even if there is a punishment, what's the use? Players from the other two cities will join in anyway."

The new rules have been set and cannot be changed before the next Bailian Grand Ceremony.

This Bailian Grand Ceremony is likely to run into serious trouble.

Hearing Li Xinghui say this, Gu Xi laughed instead, "Brother Li, that's not right of you. At this time, who cares about breaking the rules? At this time, we should just take action and wipe out all the players in those two cities."

Even if I end up ranked last, I believe the players of Bailian City will remember my methods.

"You're right, that's how it should be. The Bailian Grand Ceremony is a grand sacrifice of our Bailian City. What does it have to do with those two cities? I don't care about their rules. The most important thing is to wipe out all the players from those two cities."

"Listen up, all of you! If you see any players from Autumn Wind City or Cold Leaf City, kill them on sight!"

Gu Xi had barely finished speaking when a voice came from behind him.

Gu Xi turned around and saw a middle-aged player covered in white dragon bones talking excitedly.

"Liu Yongsheng, you can't do this. If they join, they'll be involved in the ranking of the Grand Ceremony. If we break the rules, we'll lose the chance to be on the list. If that happens, we'll lose face for Bailian City, and I'm afraid you can't bear that responsibility."

The Vice Guild Master of the Steel Ghost Claw Guild then jumped out again.

Just as the middle-aged player named Liu Yongsheng was about to speak, Gu Xi spoke up.

"What's there to be afraid of? Just knock all the players on the Leaderboard out of the game. I don't believe that so many necromancers can't take down a makeshift group of Order Mage and Demon Warlock."

"Yes, that's the kind of momentum we want. Everyone listen up! Don't be afraid of being kicked off the Leaderboard for breaking the rules. Just kick everyone else off the leaderboard too. This time we don't need to be number one. The people from Autumn Wind City and Cold Leaf City must die."

At this point, Liu Yongsheng looked at the Vice Guild Master of the Steel Ghost Claw Guild, who had a serious expression on his face, as if he were speaking to him directly.

That look infuriated the Vice Guild Master of Steel Ghost Claw.

But he couldn't fight with Liu Yongsheng, so in the end he could only stare at Gu Xi with a fierce look, as if he wanted to scare Gu Xi.

But Gu Xi wasn't afraid of such looks. He didn't even glance at the so-called Vice Guild Master and turned to head towards the direction where the Bailian Grand Ceremony was about to begin.

As Gu Xi walked past Liu Yongsheng patted him on the shoulder.

"Young man, well done. Bailian City needs players like you."

"That's right, he's the top student of the Netherbone Wind this year. If I don't step up at a time like this, who will?"

"Ah, hahaha, good, that's the kind of spirit we need. Don't worry, some people won't last long."

Upon hearing Gu Xi's words, Liu Yongsheng was also taken aback. He then patted Gu Xi's shoulder heavily, turned to look at the Vice Guild Master of the Steel Ghost Claw, his eyes almost forming a fan shape.

Gu Xi didn't even glance at their commotion. He pushed aside the novice players blocking his way and walked to the Teleportation Gate prepared specifically for the Grand Sacrifice.

Looking back at Li Xinghui, Gu Xi noticed that Li Xinghui was giving him a thumbs up.

Gu Xi smiled at Li Xinghui, and without taking the Soldier Token distributed in Teleportation Gate, stepped directly into the Teleportation Gate.

Seeing Gu Xi's actions, the other players' eyes lit up. They tore off their clothes, removing the suppression of their power, and one undead after another appeared behind them.

They then pushed their hands outwards, shoving aside the Soldier Token being distributed, and decisively stepped into the Teleportation Gate to the Bailian Grand Ceremony.

The Vice Guild Master of Steel Ghost Claw tried to step forward to stop them, but Liu Yongsheng stopped him directly.

"Don't worry, it's not your son's turn yet. Don't you know you're in line? Don't worry, your son will definitely get his Soldier Token."

I think there might be more of those Soldier Tokens.

It's a real shame, these are all powerful troops trained in the City Lord's private territory.

Now you don't need to worry about your son anymore. With so many Soldier Tokens, you can carefully choose, and you're sure to find a suitable one.

"You..."

"Don't be picky! This is a great opportunity to prove your fairness and impartiality, and to show that you have no ulterior motives in secretly pushing for the new rules this time."

Liu Yongsheng's "I'm staring at you" expression infuriated the Vice Guild Master the Steel Ghost Claw.

Ever since Gu Xi pushed away the Soldier Token that was delivered to him and entered the Teleportation Gate, he knew that the situation had changed.

He also didn't dare let his son play according to the rules.

After all, once you enter the game, your life depends on yourself.

If everyone followed the rules, it would be fine, but now that no one follows the rules, that's a real problem.

But Liu Yongsheng was already furious with the Vice Guild Master's behavior. He was keeping a close eye on this matter, and no matter what the Vice Guild Master thought, Liu Yongsheng would not let his son enter the Teleportation Gate easily.

If you don't follow the rules, then you'll be waiting to die.

Finally, under Liu Yongsheng's strict guard, after all the new players had entered the Teleportation Gate, the Vice Guild Master's son, that unlucky player named Song Sheng, finally entered the Teleportation Gate.

He was the only player to take away Soldier Token at this Bailian Grand Ceremony.

Because besides Liu Yongsheng, there were dozens of other players from various guilds watching his every move.

Song Sheng had every reason to believe that if he didn't take the Soldier Token, he would be killed by all the players present, and even his father couldn't save him.

For his own safety, he had no choice but to accept the Soldier Token and leave quickly.

After all the new players entered the Teleportation Gate to the Bailian Grand Ceremony, Liu Yongsheng closed the Teleportation Gate and then looked at the Vice Guild Master of the Steel Ghost Claw.

"Alright, everyone's inside now. Let's talk about our business. Do you think the people from Autumn Wind City and Cold Leaf City have already entered the game?"

Upon hearing this, the Vice Guild Master, whose face had been dark and gloomy, suddenly widened his eyes.

"Liu Yongsheng, what do you mean by this?"

"It's nothing special, I just wanted to make some adjustments. In this Bailian Grand Ceremony, if you're killed, you'll die!"

Regarding the rules of death, here's an explanation: Necromancers and Death Knight have one chance to transform, but after transforming, they are no longer players. That should be understandable.

There are also some world rules that can be set, such as being sent out of the game immediately after death.

Just like the world we're playing right now, it was originally a trial ceremony to give benefits to the players in this This City.

The initial setup wasn't particularly strong; it simply involved exiting the game after dying in battle.

When outsiders arrived, they naturally changed everything to simply saying that someone who died had died.

After all, for players in other cities, fighting is the most normal choice.
