[Because you belong to the Vajra White Bone Buddha's lineage, you cannot change factions.]
Yang Ling saw one more line in the mission details than everyone else.
"The Vajra White Bone Buddha and the Abyssal Beast Grotto are enemies?"
Yang Ling's expression shifted.
The players present exchanged uncertain glances.
The local martial artists were stunned too. They apparently hadn't expected the other side to recruit them.
Become Abyssal Martial Artists? Many of them had mixed feelings.
As things stood... if they resisted, they would certainly die!
"What are you Abyssal Martial Artists after!?"
Eunuch Chen shouted, "Anyone who becomes an Abyssal Martial Artist can only end up like you—rats living in the gutter, damned for all eternity!"
"You damned eunuch, you sure talk a lot! We're gutter rats? Then you're fish on the chopping block!"
The Mingwang Group member who had defeated Ding Xing earlier grinned viciously.
"Boss, don't bother recruiting this damned eunuch. I want to kill him myself!"
"Shi Tianlong, you work for the Five-Poison Emperor. Why are you involved in this battle?"
Something suddenly occurred to Ding Xing, and his face paled.
"Do we need to spell it out? The Five-Poison Emperor is joining the campaign against A-9 City."
"Once we take A-9 City, we can return to the surface. Then we'll fight our way to Kyoto!"
Shi Tianhu smiled.
"Impossible! The Five-Poison Emperor has always been kept in check by the Earthly Immortals. If he makes a move, an Earthly Immortal will stop him!"
Ding Xing blurted out.
"The Martial Alliance has suffered under Great Dream for long enough. Some Earthly Immortals have long been dissatisfied with the Great Dream Dynasty. The Five-Poison Emperor sent us this time, and you didn't even hear a whisper of it. You should be able to guess what that means."
