The River Beneath the Night Sky, the Beginning of Great Change!

Under the cover of night.

The offline Liang City is bustling and prosperous.

People come and go at the night market, selecting their favorite items.

The couples were showering each other with affection, it was so sickeningly sweet.

Xu Gou stood on the mountain, looking down at the city.

"Ignorance is bliss."

He then dispatched Corpse Vine to investigate the Liang Clan's situation.

One day later.

In the darkness of another night.

The Corpse Vine brought back a lot of information to him.

In the offline world, Liang Clan's actions weren't that excessive.

After all, people have feet.

They only dared to focus their attention on Wanderer, people with intellectual disabilities, and people with mental illnesses... In short, they had one standard: once lost, no one would look for them.

Compared to their open hunting in the online Skyfall World, they are clearly much more low-key offline.

But that's bad enough.

This also reduced Xu Gou's psychological burden when doing things next.

"Great! Little Vine, Little Wind, let's go all out!"

He then concealed himself and infiltrated Liang City.

The Liang Clan lived together in the Liang Clan Villa in the southwest of the city, a place nestled against the mountains and beside the water, boasting the best scenery.

There are detached villas everywhere.

Even if you have money, you can't get a place to live.

They must be direct descendants of the Liang Clan family or important families with kinship ties.

That evening.

A traditional evening banquet was being held at the Liang Clan's villa.

The banquet was attended by Noble Personage and dignitaries, as well as people connected to the Liang Clan.

A group of elegantly dressed waitresses moved among the guests, serving fine wines and exquisite desserts.

In a corner, a few people were whispering among themselves, drinking top-quality champagne specially flown in from a Western city.

"Have you heard? It seems the Liang Clan isn't doing so well."

"Yes, I heard. Apparently, they messed things up over there." Someone pointed to the sky.

"Then why did you come to their banquet?" someone asked, puzzled.

"Nonsense, they still owe me 500 million yuan for equipment at their mine, with a six-month payment period. I need to get it back as soon as possible."

"Hearing you say that makes me feel much better. They owe me two hundred million."

As they were talking, suddenly, a Jifeng appeared from above the banquet and then landed in the center of the banquet.

Immediately afterwards, a roar erupted.

"Ouch..."

Then everyone saw a majestic, snow-white wolf, over three meters long and comparable to a tiger, appear in the middle of the banquet area.

Its body trembled, and then it grew five meters tall out of thin air, instantly transforming into a colossal creature resembling Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Some clever people instinctively want to run away.

But he found that his whole body seemed to be stunned, and his two legs were completely out of his control!

Before long, a young man appeared on the wolf's back.

His eyes were cold, and he wore a black trench coat as he surveyed the crowd like an emperor looking at his subjects.

"Xu Tianlang!" someone exclaimed.

Clearly, as a direct Direct Descendants of the Xu Clan, Xu Tianlang was quite well-known in the area.

"Who are you? What do you want?" The host of the banquet, an elderly man surnamed Liang Clan, stepped forward boldly.

"What do you want? Don't you know the mess you've made?" Xu Gou was now full of arrogance. Of all the people present, who hadn't always been superior?

Which one of them isn't arrogant and disdainful of others?

A single meal or a car service they do can provide them with enough income for a year!

They even mock themselves for not working hard enough, for not seizing opportunities, and for deserving to suffer their whole lives!

Despite my best efforts, I can barely make ends meet to cover my mortgage, car loan, and insurance payments... living a life that seems somewhat respectable but is actually riddled with problems!

"What are you saying? I don't understand. Get out of here! This is not a place for you!" Old Mrs. Liang Clan shouted sternly.

Xu Gou suddenly felt very disappointed.

Is this the upper class he's longed for?

Foolishness, arrogance, greed, using etiquette to package oneself, and luxury to create a moat cannot conceal the inner decay!

"Go to hell!"

"Only death is the only language you can understand!"

As Xu Gou spoke, he waved his hand, and the Wind Wolf King unleashed a wind Wind Blade that tore the old man Liang Clan to shreds!

At that moment, the ground was covered in blood and red stains, and the venue was filthy with excrement.

The old man stared wide-eyed, seemingly surprised that the newcomer was so unreasonable—just like how they treated the Wanderer.

But they weren't Wanderer; they were the Liang Clan, who ruled over an entire city!

How dare someone treat them so unreasonably?

"Ah, Sarilang!"

The guests immediately gasped in surprise.

They instinctively tried to run away, but found that their legs were completely immobile!

"What's going on?!"

"Damn it, these must be people from there, coming for revenge!"

"I knew it! The Liang Clan got their just desserts for all the bad things they did!" one of the clients attending the meeting said with deep regret.

If I had known, I shouldn't have come to this party because of that 500 million debt.

Collecting debts is difficult; in order to get back the money owed to you, you often have to go out of your way to give gifts and curry favor with the debtors...

Now look what's happened! They're risking their lives for 500 million!

However, the next moment, a sound that delighted the customer came.

"This time, we're here only to cleanse the Liang Clan of their sins. Anyone unrelated to the Liang Clan can leave!"

Xu Gou coldly scanned the area.

Many people immediately shouted, "I'm just a merchant; I have nothing to do with the Liang Clan!"

"Sir, I'm just an employee, please let me go."

"Although I am a member of the Liang Clan, I am beyond the fifth degree of mourning and have not enjoyed any of the blessings. I should not suffer the same fate as them!"

"Shut up!" Xu Gou got even angrier.

He's already killed someone to establish his authority, so why do these idiots still dare to make such a racket?

In that instant, he understood why in some movies, when bandits take hostages, it takes many people; even if one person has weapons, they can't handle it alone.

Because many people lose their rationality when they are in a state of panic, they will not obediently follow orders out of fear; on the contrary, they may run away blindly out of fear.

If he hadn't had the Wind Wolf King use its skill beforehand to intimidate these people and render them unable to move...

The meeting place was probably in complete chaos when the old man was killed.

After Xu Gou's angry rebuke, the venue quieted down, and everyone resignedly awaited their Judgment.

Xu Gou, on the other hand, walked past them one after another.

He would place a talisman on each person he passed.

It's a simple talisman for identifying bloodlines, and all four wolf villages can easily produce it.

However, the production volume is small, with only a few sheets produced per year.

However, once players arrived, it became one of their favorite spells to sell in the offline world.

It's said that the price is quite high.

The denominator is mother and child.

The mother talisman determines the target, while the child talismans confirm who is related to the target by blood. The closer the blood relationship, the brighter the light on the mother talisman.

"Kill!"

"Put!"

"Kill!"

Xu Gou scanned them one by one, then expressionlessly gave orders to the Wind Wolf King.

In an instant, blood flowed like a river.

The crowd fell silent, a mixture of fear and relief in their voices.

They resembled the little pigs in a dark fairy tale, huddled in a wooden hut, awaiting the Judgment of the Gray Wolf.

The Wind Wolf King complied with all of their requests.

It also completely forgot Gao Linzhi's order: to turn all these people into puppets.

Anyway, if its owner assigns it to the other party, it will obey the other party.

It doesn't use its brain.

It loves rivers of blood.

Just as Xu Gou was about to lose his mind from killing, the Corpse Vine suddenly appeared from underground and blocked his way.

Xu Gou didn't realize what was happening at first. He was stunned for a moment before remembering Gao Linzhi's instructions.

Oh no, the owner hates waste the most.

Wait, he turned to look at the people he had killed.

Most of them are tanks.

Yeah, trash doesn't deserve a Puppet Talisman.

Puppet Talisman are also very expensive.

So when he killed the next member of the Liang Clan, he asked:

What skills do you have?

He was a middle-aged man who seemed to realize this was his only chance to escape. "I can draw."

With a whoosh, he died.

What can you do?

"I graduated from Wencheng University of Technology, and I am proficient in various computer AI technology architectures."

With a "plop," a Puppet Talisman was affixed.

Soon, everyone in the room realized it.

Only those in science and engineering can survive; those in the arts and management fields will perish.

That's normal.

Those with a science and engineering background can make the judgment immediately, but those with an arts and management background cannot.

In an instant, they understood.

Isn't this just like when the Mongols invaded the Central Plains?

Craftsmen, blacksmiths, barbers, and carpenters were spared during the massacre, but scholars, farmers, and ordinary citizens were all killed.

A young lady a wealthy family who had come to attend the event couldn't help but exclaim, "How could you kill people like a butcher?"

"Keep your voice down, are you crazy?!" Her boyfriend quickly spoke up to stop her.

He was actually glad he wasn't a member of the Liang family; when it was his turn, he would probably be released.

However, his girlfriend was related to the Liang Clan family by marriage, which is why he was qualified to attend the banquet.

The young lady could only keep quiet and not talk about it.

In fact, she dared to say that because she had some confidence.

She's also a player, and a key member that Liang Clan is grooming.

At that moment, she was actually able to move.

He was just trying to get Xu Gou's attention by acting stupid.

She wanted to turn the tables on her opponent, hoping that this would earn her the Liang Clan's full attention and support.

You could say she has a bit of cleverness, but not much.

She was completely unaware that the Liang Clan was already in a precarious situation.

Sure enough, Xu Gou looked this way.

He gave a cold laugh.

What a foolish woman!

She had no idea of the difference in their abilities.

How dare you speak like that?

Perhaps all along, those high and mighty beings have never cared about the thoughts of the common people?

The other person had a "That's what I said, what can you do about it?" look on their face.

Xu Gou immediately unleashed a Puppet Talisman.

That young lady was indeed capable of moving; she quickly pulled out a pistol, a large-caliber revolver, and fired it directly at Xu Gou.

"Bang! Bang!" Bullets engraved with strange runes pierced towards Xu Gou's location.

Xu Gou didn't move, but the Wind Wolf King snatched the bullet away with a single claw!

It's a purple-tier pet with a level of 38 and a constitution of over 400!

The young lady was stunned.

Her pistol was the latest product from a major company, combining the Talisman Crafting technology from the Skyfall Game with modern military technology.

Bullets possess numerous abilities: they can ward off evil, be lethal, and automatically homing...

It's arguably the most suitable for a young lady like her who dislikes practicing martial arts but loves to show off.

But that's all?

The next moment.

The Puppet Talisman that Xu Gou had cast was already attached to her body.

She then lost consciousness.

Her boyfriend, on the other hand, remained silent, shrinking back with an expression that said, "I'm not that familiar with her."

Xu Gou didn't care about him at all.

They simply continued dealing with other people.

And so, without blinking an eye, he charged from the banquet entrance all the way to the banquet exit.

He just kept wielding his knife, chopping away all night long.

Only those talented members of the Liang Clan are qualified to be puppets.

Those pot-bellied, brainless idiots don't even qualify to be puppets.

No outsiders disturbed the entire process.

Although someone quietly pressed the remote alarm.

However, the security teams that would normally arrive immediately were completely silent and did not move out at all.

They were naturally unaware that the security team's Big Head had already been turned into puppets by Xu Gou...

This is a classic example of the Mysterious Side overwhelming the technological side!

The characteristic of the technological side is its enormous physical destructive power, which can be said to be endless; as long as they keep piling up hydrogen bombs, that's enough.

The yield of a hydrogen bomb can be increased indefinitely.

However, its weakness lies in its near vulnerability to psychological attacks.

Even the most powerful weapon is vulnerable to the person wielding it.

A controller capable of killing hundreds of thousands of people in an instant will suffer for the rest of their life if they develop battlefield syndrome.

Logically, the Liang Clan should have been prepared for this.

Unfortunately, the Liang Clan was ultimately just a small to medium-sized company in a small to medium-sized city, and their means of protecting against mental attacks were limited to items obtained from Wolf Snake Island.

However, the Puppet Talisman in Xu Gou's hand at this moment was the top-tier type on Wolf Snake Island.

How can the Liang Clan resist in this situation?

The security personnel below will not be deployed without orders from their superiors.

Even if they hear an alarm call, they won't move.

This is because it's a rule that has been established over the years.

Disobeying orders and acting without authorization is both a merit and a demerit.

Following procedures yields neither merit nor fault.

Early the next morning.

On the general internet and in player forums, it immediately exploded.

However, on a regular network, the message only lasted a few seconds before disappearing quickly.

Only some insignificant news was reported about Liang City's landing:

"A mysterious food problem occurred at the Liang Clan banquet, causing many members of the Liang Clan to lose their composure..."

And player forums.

Clearly not under the control of offline companies, it features a large number of images, many of which are indescribable.

"Holy crap, this is a river of blood!"

Where is this?

"The Liang Clan was retaliated against by the scattered tribes because they had sent cavalry to hunt down and kill these tribesmen."

"I see, that's quite normal. This day is a bit late."

"Yes, I predicted it long ago. Now that a rogue has risen on Wolf Snake Island, he will definitely retaliate, just like Huang Chao, who couldn't pass the imperial examinations in Chang'an, so he stormed into Chang'an."

"Sigh, he brought this on himself."

"Damn it, these damned casual players! Instead of dying peacefully, they try to be like mantises, leaping and bounding? Do they think they can get away with this momentary triumph and avoid death in the end?" a Corporate Players posted angrily.

"Ridiculous! Only your company is allowed to arrest people, but individual players aren't allowed to resist? What kind of logic is that?" a Rogue Players scoffed.

"If you've got the guts, come out and fight me one-on-one. Do you dare expose yourself? Don't think you can hide in the no man's land and we won't find you!" the Corporate Players taunted.

"You dare say that to Canxue boss? Look at your family and company, won't they become the next Liang Clan?" the Rogue Players retorted, trying to provoke him.

In an instant, the Liang Clan's Blood Rain caused a huge uproar both online and offline, and on player forums.
