The Beginning

"Who recognized our logo?" Mao Ziyuan continued to ask.

"It's that target called 'King of Thousand King.' He seems to have obtained detailed intelligence about us from the Azure Dragon Legion!" the subordinate replied.

"Trouble!"

"Your Excellency, now that the White Lotus has been exposed, why can't those who haven't joined the sect refrain from carving White Lotus?" the subordinate asked.

"You think I couldn't think of that? But it's no use! Compared to some beings, our bodies are still too insignificant..."

Mao Ziyuan looked up at the sky as he spoke, then turned to his subordinates and said:

"I understand the situation. Inform everyone that the planned time will be moved up, everything else remains the same!" Mao Ziyuan.

"Yes!"

Two days later

The matter of the competition has completely subsided; in this age of information overload, traffic comes and goes quickly.

Apart from a few people in the know who are still concerned, this matter has become nothing more than a topic of conversation among ordinary people.

But this is not their fault; it is the imbalance of information resources.

They had no idea what had happened. In their eyes, it was just a case of a mentally ill member of Evil Cult participating in a competition, which Old Wang discovered.

They are completely unaware of the background and the dangers of Evil Cult; is it their fault that they are not interested in such things?

Not everyone has the ability to deduce a lot from just a few words.

And even if they figure it out, they can't be blamed for not being interested.

Others might not be interested, but Old Wang is.

He actually wanted to ignore these messy affairs, but he knew the White Lotus Cult wouldn't let him off the hook.

He thought the White Lotus Cult's pursuit had stopped for a while, and that the matter was over.

However, Zero deciphered many things from the conversation between Invincible Young Master Hua and the deceased, discovering that the White Lotus Cult was planning an operation against him.

They will mobilize a large force this time, with the aim of capturing him alive.

That day he already knew that the White Lotus Cult had the ability to plunder human Mecha; they really valued his Mecha!

However, there were still some things that Old Wang didn't understand. The first one was, where did the White Lotus Cult's technology come from?

Even within the Human Alliance in the game, Old Wang had never heard of this technology.

There's no doubt they're hiding too well for Old Wang to discover; humanity as a whole has no absolute secrets here at Zero.

He had always suspected that Zero was the prize in the V10 Gift Pack, and that the Unit Zero was a freebie, although he had never dared to use it.

However, that's not the key point. The key point is where the other party got their technology from.

What exactly was the purpose of the Second White Lotus Cult? Old Wang once suspected that they wanted revenge.

After all, their miserable situation of being stranded in the Outer Domain was entirely caused by these people from the Federation.

But then he thought about it again and felt something was wrong. Logically speaking, with their Legendary strength, they could have simply sneaked into the Human Federation to retaliate. Why would they do this?

In short, the White Lotus Cult has a serious problem, and he must find a way to get rid of them, otherwise he will never be able to eat or sleep in peace.

So he went to his Master, Old Luo, to see if he had any ideas.

"You mean the White Lotus Cult Sect wants to capture you? And steal your Mecha?" Old Luo asked seriously.

"Yeah! Would I joke about something like this?" Old Wang said, feigning great distress.

Upon hearing his reply, Old Wang suddenly began to mutter incoherently:

"So that's why they captured those people. They actually managed to plunder other people's Mana Mech. What a bunch of monsters."

However, this was an opportunity; of all the people they had their eyes on, they had their eyes on this kid's Mecha.

Okay! Okay! Hahaha!

Old Wang: "..."

He was faking his discomfort just now, but he's really uncomfortable now.

"Master, why are you so happy that they're going to arrest me?" Old Wang asked, looking constipated.

"What? What? I'm happy because we finally have a way to wipe out this damned White Lotus Cult!" Old Luo exclaimed.

Old Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he looked at Old Luo and asked, "Master, what do you mean?"

"Come closer, and tell me this and that..."

The more Old Luo talked, the brighter Old Wang's eyes became. If this plan went well, it could really wipe out the White Lotus Cult.

"Go!" Old Luo said to Old Wang after explaining the plan.

"Leave it to me!"

The next day

Old Wang set off for the Starry Sky Battlefield. He disappeared for a whole day yesterday, and no one, including Lin Qimeng, knew what he was doing.

But today, as soon as he appeared, all the Player in the game received a mission from the Human Alliance to kill the White Lotus Cult's demon.

"System notification: The White Lotus Fiend has wreaked havoc across interstellar space, slaughtered civilians, and committed heinous crimes. The Human Alliance has now issued a formal arrest warrant. Anyone who kills or captures the White Lotus Fiend will receive a special reward."

This task caught the Player off guard; they remembered that Thousand King seemed to have said something similar during the League Tournament a couple of days ago.

Along with the system notification, evidence of the White Lotus Cult's crimes was also released, one case after another, which was quite eye-catching.

The fact that joining the White Lotus Cult required sacrificing one's closest relatives made them deeply resentful of the organization.

There has never been a shortage of talented individuals among the Player, and their footprints have spread throughout the entire human galaxy.

Moreover, unlike Player, players can risk their lives to fish, making it impossible for many White Lotus Fiend to find them.

While entrapment is unreasonable, it's effective!

Soon, some people discovered the White Lotus Fiend hiding inside the human star system, and then, following the clues, they uncovered a whole host of them.

The White Lotus Cult Sect suffered heavy losses because they reacted too slowly.

The most critical issue is that the few Human Alliance councilors they had painstakingly brainwashed have all been exposed.

These people are the eyes and ears of the White Lotus Cult within the Alliance Leadership; although they are not powerful, they are absolutely important.

With their fall, the White Lotus Cult from the Outer Domain was immediately caught off guard.

This operation also served as a wake-up call for everyone in the Alliance; had the Alliance really been infiltrated to this extent?

"Xun Min! You are largely to blame for the state of the Alliance!"

During an Alliance Interior, General Zhang pointed at Xun Min's nose and cursed him.

The Xun Min faction remained silent, quietly watching General Zhang's performance.

They certainly bear some responsibility for today's situation, but are you, Zhang Yi, any better?

Did Carrot suggest this idea of having all Player search for the White Lotus Cult's heresy so you could cause trouble?

Wasn't his goal to get you to find an opportunity to destroy the White Lotus Cult? Now look what you've done, you've just achieved this much and you're already causing trouble.

By doing this, aren't you giving the White Lotus Cult ample time to prepare? You've squandered a perfectly good opportunity to wipe out most of their forces, and you still have the nerve to criticize them?

However, although they thought this way, they couldn't say it, because, as he said, they were indeed to blame for the White Lotus Cult's actions.

After General Zhang finished his tirade, Xun Min suddenly said:

"I do bear some responsibility for this incident, but the White Lotus Cult must be destroyed."

"General Zhang, since you care about the common people, then I will send you to lead troops to wipe out the White Lotus Cult."

General Zhang sneered and said, "I'm not going. I didn't cause this trouble."

He finished speaking and sat down, and then the battle between the two sides' advisors began.

"You..."

"You..."

"Stop arguing!"

These people argued for about 30 minutes before being interrupted by someone speaking up. The person who spoke up was Zhang Ping'an, the leader of the Conservative Faction.

He still had to save face for everyone, so the originally noisy scene gradually calmed down.

"What kind of behavior is this, arguing back and forth like this?" Zhang Ping'an said again.

"General Zhang, do you have a solution?" Li Yulong asked.

"It's alright. Since it's the adventurers' achievement, let them go. Just choose a leader from among them and have them lead a team to wipe out the White Lotus Cult," Zhang Ping'an said.

"Good idea, who should we choose?" everyone asked.

"Have you forgotten that number one Player in the world?" someone in the crowd said.

"Him? He certainly can. At least I didn't have that kind of strength when I was at that level!" Zhang Ping'an glanced at the person who spoke and then said, pretending to Thought.

"Agreed!" Li Yulong.

"I have no objection either," General Zhang.

With everyone chiming in, the matter of Old Wang leading the team was settled.

Then someone was sent to inform Old Wang and a game announcement was made.

Upon seeing the notifications and announcements, Old Wang realized that the Alliance could issue system notifications.
