That day, a sudden announcement appeared in the Civilization Ladder's chat channel.
[Transdimensional · Star Disciple: It has been confirmed that Blood Grand Duke Adlan has betrayed the Civilization Ladder. He is responsible for the recent string of murders of Transdimensional Tier beings. So far, six Transdimensional Tier beings have died directly or indirectly at the Blood Grand Duke's hands, severely weakening our universe's top-tier fighting strength. With the Transdimensional Council's authorization, a full-scale purge of the Blood Grand Duke and the Land of Blood will begin.]
The announcement sent the entire Civilization Ladder into an uproar.
Star Disciple then disclosed more details.
The first victim was the Serpent of Revival, killed by the Blood Grand Duke and Mechanical Supremacy.
Those killed directly by the Blood Grand Duke included Gulrad, the Blood Clan Progenitor; Reaper of the Sleeping Temple; and Painful Ascetic of the Fallen Abyss.
The Blood Grand Duke had also plotted with Everfrost Tyrant, an invader from the New World, to assassinate the Frost Demon King.
That plot had indirectly killed the Frost Demon King and another Demon King.
When that list of victims came out, even Transdimensional Tier beings felt a chill, let alone ordinary players.
Every Transdimensional Tier being grew more wary of the Blood Grand Duke.
The Land of Blood became the enemy of the entire Civilization Ladder. In an instant, its players came under attack on an unprecedented scale.
The death toll kept climbing.
The Land of Blood, once a Gold Tier faction everyone envied, had become a target everyone wanted to hunt down.
Yu Yuan received a message from Star Disciple and frowned.

Dawnlight, beside him, was taken aback too.
Yu Yuan was already on his feet.
