Professional experts were a group of gamers above and beyond ordinary gamers. For ordinary gamers, professional experts were gods. No matter what was happening with the ordinary players, if professional experts intervened, they would be considered bullying the weak. Not only would ordinary players look down on them, but they would also be ridiculed by others from the same profession.
Otherwise, given Sanguine Alliance’s status in the ring of gamers, they shouldn’t be pressed over the head by the Quan Zhen Sect.
Moreover, the time of these people was extremely valuable. More than half their time would be in practice for their tournament. Because usernames in <<REBIRTH>> were non-exchangeable, professional experts would have to train like crazy. Why would they have time to meddle with ordinary players?

I’ve heard it from a friend in Void Blade… Can’t guarantee that it is true…
After someone questioned this statement, the person replied.
Just when everyone was still skeptical, yet another public announcement was shown. It was none other than Sanguine Wolf.
Sanguine Wolf:
A mere Quan Zhen Sect cannot even withstand a single blow from us. If you wish to retrieve your items, come on out to battle us. [King of Beast Dijun’s Head] [Broken Army Slashing Dragon Strike Remnant Page]

Not only did Sanguine Wolf take the initiative to provoke, he even displayed the spoils of war.

Fck! It is Sanguine Wolf! They really did steal Quan Zhen Sect’s items!

Looking at Sanguine Wolf’s announcement, everyone emotions started boiling over.
If people were still doubtful of Big Bear’s words at the start and thought that Void Blade was merely boasting about exterminating Quan Zhen Sect, no one had such doubts now.
This was because the top headline of today’s news was that Quan Zhen Sect accepted an S-grade Quest to kill King of Beast Dijun in the Dusk Forest. Now that Sanguine Wolf was seen with the quest good, the evidence was clear that the Quan Zhen Sect was killed by Sanguine Wolf before stealing the good.
If it was any other player, everyone might still be a little doubtful. However, this was Sanguine Wolf that they were talking about. A reputable professional expert and Sanguine Squad’s leading Assassin. If even he was involved in this, it wasn’t impossible that the Quan Zhen Sect was exterminated.

Damn it! They’re really shameless! Why are these professional experts bullying ordinary players? Speaking of which, isn’t Sanguine Wolf from the Sanguine Alliance? What is he doing with Big Bear?


He should have transferred. Wasn’t it the official transfer season not too long ago?


However, the Quan Zhen Sect is doomed this time… They actually offended professional experts now…

After the appearance of Sanguine Wolf, people turned from pitying Void Blade to observing a moment of silence for the Quan Zhen Sect. Regardless of how impressive the Quan Zhen Sect was, they were still considered ordinary players. Competing with professional experts like Sanguine Wolf was on a whole new level.
Of course, the majority of people were rejoicing in Quan Zhen Sect’s misfortune. This was because the players from Quan Zhen Sect were not the kindest of people around. Even if they were not hated by everyone, they were still a tyrant in the region. The only reason everyone was criticizing Sanguine Wolf was that this kid was bullying the weak.
On the Quan Zhen Sect’s chat, things were getting intense too.
Li Xue and co. asked worriedly,
Aiya, how did you guys end up offending the great god of the professional experts? This is big trouble for us… Should we get people to help?

Fearless replied,
No need for that but the few of you should find somewhere safe to hide. Their target is us so I doubt they will do anything to you but just to be safe.


What about me?
Mu Zi Xian asked.
Even though Mu Zi Xian rarely interacted with the Quan Zhen Sect, many people in Twilight City knew that Mu Zi Xian’s shop was related to Quan Zhen Sect.
Wang Yu replied,
Close the shop for now. You should not be involved in all these killings.


What about us?
Ming Du asked.
Fearless replied,
We have to find a way to gather first. Otherwise, we’re at a huge disadvantage if the enemies are in the dark while we are in the clear.


I will go find you guys now!
Ming Du spoke as he left the resurrection point.
When Fearless and Wang Yu were on their way back, they told everyone to find a safe place to hide and not run around… Everyone found a safe spot but only Ming Du felt that the resurrection point was the safest. Therefore, he didn’t leave that place.
However, the moment Ming Du stepped out of the resurrection point, an arrow pierced through the sky towards him. The arrow came from a skinny and tall red-robed Archer from a faraway rooftop. The person holding the bow and aiming at the entrance of the resurrection point was Sanguine Red.
When Ming Du saw the arrow, he hurriedly lowered his head as the arrow flew right past his head. When Ming Du lowered his head, he finished reciting his lightning spell as he threw it out.
However, Archer was the best job to restrain a Magician. First and foremost, Sanguine Red’s attack range was far greater than Ming Du. So even though Ming Du threw out the lightning spell, it only landed not too far away from Sanguine Red.
Sanguine Red’s skills were taught by Sanguine Rain and as a professional expert, his arrow skills were exceptional.
Just when Ming Du dodged one arrow, another arrow flew right in front of Ming Du. Ming Du anxiously used [Flash] to move five metres forward. The moment he landed, he extended his left arm and his Spear of Lightning was sent towards Sanguine Red.
Just when the Spear of Lightning was about to hit Sanguine Red, Ming Du suddenly felt shivers from his back. Sanguine Thorn appeared from behind and one stab was enough to turn Ming Du into white light. Ming Du’s Spear of Lightning disappeared simultaneously too.

I’ve been killed again. They set up an ambush in the resurrection point!
Ming Du exclaimed.
Fearless couldn’t help but exclaim,
Eh? These fellas didn’t set the ambush outside the city? They went to the resurrection point?

At this moment, Ling Longmeng sent a message in the chat too,
I’ve been killed too! I was at the grocery store!

The grocery store was where Archers replenished their supply of arrows. Ling Longmeng and Yang Nuo were both hiding there.

What about Clear Snow?
Fearless asked.

I’ve jumped onto the roof and escaped!
Yang Nuo replied. Given Yang Nuo’s skills, ordinary players wouldn’t be able to kill her unless she was ambushed by Assassins.

Where is Brother Spring at?


The drugstore! Fck! I think there are people outside too so I couldn’t go out.
Spring Halo replied. Stores are a safe zone so they would be safe as long as they didn’t head out, they wouldn’t be in trouble.

Little Chicky?


Resurrection point… I’ve just been killed at the restaurant.

This wild child really knew how to find places. They asked him to find a safe place to hide and yet he went to eat. People fight and get killed in restaurants so often… He deserves it!

Old Fish and I are at the auction… Safe for now.
Before Fearless asked, Frost Blade answered.
Boson also replied,
Crotch Lord and I are at the PVP arena. There is nobody here.


Damn it! Seems like Void Blade has quite a number of players.
Fearless frowned when he heard his teammates.
The only people who could beat the Quan Zhen Sect were the professional experts. Now that everyone was captured one after the other, they must have exposed their locations.
Therefore, the many other players from Void Blade must be all around looking for the Quan Zhen Sect.
Restaurants and resurrection point were where most people gathered. It was reasonable that Ming Du and Vainglory would be spotted.
PVP arenas and auctions required entrance fee so ordinary players without money wouldn’t dare to go in. Boson, Frost Blade and co. were indeed lucky not to have been spotted.

There’s a murderous intent!!

Just when Fearless was pondering upon how to deal with this, Wang Yu suddenly shouted as an arrow flew right towards Fearless.
