Huang Yi left the Tower of Pantheons and ca to the City Hall. Qin Shiyu wasn’t online at the mont, but she would definitely hear the news at the first opportunity and log on then.
As Huang Yi made his way through the bustling streets, the crowds were abuzz, many discussing the Assassin Order that had just been issued.
"Do you think Instakill will fall because of this?"
"It’s unlikely, there are too few who can kill him, probably only Dragon Spike, Sharp Sword and a few others, but they aren’t Half-Beastn, and they have no grudge against Instakill."
"That’s not necessarily true, now that Instakill is the public enemy of the Half-Beast Race, so Half-Beast Tribes have Holy Domain Warriors. If they act to pursue him, then he’s as good as dead."
"Yes, after all, the Half-Beastn are a massive race with endless masters. Although God of Slaughter is formidable, he’s still too weak compared to NPC masters!"
...
All along the way, Huang Yi heard various opinions, most of which were not hopeful about his future, thinking he would soon fall from the Altar of the Gods.
Just then, a patrol from Dragon City’s Enforcent Team happened to walk by, and the captain, upon seeing Huang Yi, looked surprised and quickly said, "Good day, guild leader!"
"Good day, guild leader!" The rest of the Enforcent Team mbers soon caught on and echoed the greeting in unison.
At that mont, these mbers of the Hero Guild all looked at him with eyes full of concern; they were on Huang Yi’s side.
And this incident imdiately caught the attention of the others on the street, who turned their heads to stare at Huang Yi, their gazes varied, while a tense and heavy atmosphere subtly perated the air.
"Don’t mind it, carry on," Huang Yi said, nodding slightly to the guild mbers as he continued on his way, showing no particular emotion as though it was all just an ordinary affair.
The crowd all turned to look at Huang Yi’s retreating figure, their initial desire to witness how he would react to the Assassin Order unsatisfied, leaving them sowhat disappointed.
Soon after, Huang Yi made his way past the crowd to the City Hall. Here he was alone, climbing up to the very top floor. The lights were off, casting the room in darkness, as the serene moonlight spilled in through the window.
Huang Yi went to the window and looked down over Dragon City, which at this mont, was a tapestry of lights, showing off its full splendor. He had saved the city once, but nobody would have guessed that sa act would step by step lead to today’s Assassin Order, nor could anyone predict what the future might hold.
"Brother Yi, so subordinates just told you’ve been put on the wanted list by the Half-Beast Holy Land?" At that mont, ca Qin Shiyu’s concerned voice from behind; she had clearly just heard the news and hurriedly logged in.
"Yes," Huang Yi replied, still looking down at Dragon City from the dark.
"What are we going to do now?" Qin Shiyu walked up and stood beside Huang Yi.
Huang Yi smiled slightly, "This Assassin Order will definitely lure out so erging threats, and we’ll kill whoever cos forward. Just yesterday, we raided a tribe and seized a large batch of good stuff, and we’ve just begun to taste the sweet spoils. We had no excuse to invade other tribes before, but now with this Assassin Order, we have just the reason we need to mount our invasion."
Qin Shiyu nodded her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Huang Yi, and she said softly, "No matter what you choose to do, I will always stand by your side."
"However, all the Half-Beast players in our guild have been forcibly cleaned out, they probably haven’t even used their Contribution Points. Talk to Little Riddler and let him arrange so compensation for those Half-Beast Players, from now on, our fate with them ends here."
Huang Yi said, turning to gaze out the window at the vast starry sky, where each and every star seed like an eye, all watching him.
Ten billion people around the world were all focused on his next move.
...
The next day, Huang Yi frequented the forum as usual.
"Half-Beast Holy Land issues Assassin Order, God of Slaughter becos the first public enemy in The Second World, what does the future hold for God of Slaughter?"
"Thunder God kicks off the age of navigation! The First Deep Sea Battleship is built, the continents of The Second World will begin to connect!"
The two announcents from last night took up the top two spots on the 24-hour hot topics of the forum instantly, and Huang Yi opened the first post to take a look.
’After God of Slaughter personally led the Hero Guild’s several hundred thousand mbers to annihilate a large Half-Beast Tribe of over a million strong, he completely ignited the wrath of the Half-Beastn around the world. Last night, the Half-Beast Holy Land finally issued an assassination order, declaring God of Slaughter a public enemy of the Half-Beastn. The mont the order was issued, Half-Beastn around the world rejoiced, and many guilds expressed their intention to blacklist God of Slaughter. Among them, Mad Traceless, a famous Chinese player, publicly stated that God of Slaughter is a disgrace among Chinese players. He will gather the strength of all Half-Beastn to eradicate him...’
’Mad Traceless?’ Huang Yi muttered the na, slightly furrowed his brows. He had vaguely heard of this person who was a third-rate expert. A big shot perhaps to average players but nothing significant to him.
Next, he logged out, planning to do a little search on this person.
However, before he began his search, he directly saw Mad Traceless’s post in the 24-hour hot thread section, and the title of the post was quite domineering—
’I declare, Instakill—dead!’
This phrase was none other than Huang Yi’s classic line. Almost everyone in the world knew that Huang Yi would recite this spell before using his ’Judgnt’ skill. He proclaid who would die, and they would die, never missing a mark. This phrase had beco his trademark.
Now, Mad Traceless used this phrase as the title, which was clearly a naked challenge. The post indeed grabbed a lot of attention, with replies surpassing a hundred million.
Huang Yi imdiately clicked to take a look.
’Actually, when Instakill destroyed Wind Forest Stronghold, I already felt he wasn’t any good. Surely enough, he later massacred hundreds of thousands of players in Dragon City, and recently he unscrupulously exterminated an entire race. Compared to Dao Feng’s openness and honesty, Instakill is the disgrace of the China region, and he will surely bring harm to even more people in the future. I declare that, starting today, I will officially begin pursuing Instakill, killing him until he’s forced into Reincarnation. Even if he kneels and apologizes, it won’t make up for his transgressions, and I do not plan to accept his apology.’
’At the sa ti, I also welco everyone to join the Anti-Kill Alliance I’ve ford. Our guild is committed to becoming a large guild in the China region and to unite with other major Chinese guilds to create an order organization. We will carry out fair and just judgnt to all players like Instakill, who are a disgrace, and we will formulate laws for The Second World to regulate players’ behaviors and protect the interests of average players...’
In this post, Mad Traceless first took the moral high ground, painting everything just and righteous, then devoted most of the article to his Anti-Kill Alliance guild, using Huang Yi, a trending figure, to promote his own guild.
Now positioning himself as a leader, he organized all players to start the chase against Huang Yi, instantly lowering Huang Yi’s status while elevating his own. He gained a lot of attention and popularity, instantly becoming a representative. Anyti there’s sothing related to the pursuit of Huang Yi, Mad Traceless will beco a figurehead, attracting interviews with the press, asking for his opinions, and so on. He was virtually representing a hundred million Half-Beast players, giving the illusion that he could stand on equal footings with Huang Yi.
In the comnts below the post, Huang Yi spotted traces of paid internet comntators, and it seed to be a hyped-up stunt.
’The Anti-Kill Alliance, huh?’ Huang Yi let out a cold laugh in his heart and imdiately exited the forum, entering The Second World.
Upon logging in, Huang Yi swiftly sent a ssage to Little Riddler, instructing him to arrange for soone to collect information on the Anti-Kill Alliance guild.
Little Riddler’s subordinates worked efficiently, providing Huang Yi with detailed information in less than an hour.
The Anti-Kill Alliance guild had just been established yesterday, and the forum’s hot thread played a significant role in promoting it. The guild managed to recruit a million players in just one day, mostly comprised of Half-Beastn eager to chase down Huang Yi.
The guild’s growth montum was fierce. Financial preparations were made well in advance, and there must have been support from so mysterious sponsors behind the scenes. If given more ti, it might really develop into a top contender among the tens of thousands of guilds in the China region.
The guild’s territory was located in an abandoned town called Fla Town, not too far from Dragon City.
Huang Yi imdiately maneuvered his incarnation, mounted a Velociraptor, and rapidly headed towards the guild’s territory. With the speed of the Velociraptor, he should arrive there by evening.
As of now, Mad Traceless was making the most noise, so Huang Yi might as well strike the chicken to warn the monkeys. He would directly annihilate their guild as a warning to others, showing that anyone who stuck their neck out would be killed.
...
anwhile, in Fla Town, several Half-Beast players were drinking in the tavern at the center of the town.
’Big brother, our guild really has a promising future! We recruited a million players in just one day. Instakill’s na really gets the job done.’ One chubby guy took a gulp of his drink and giggled foolishly.
’The fa of Instakill is indeed beneficial. Just one day of hyping and it’s brought about such a significant effect, beyond my expectations.’ A thirty-sothing-year-old man smiled proudly. He was Mad Traceless, whose popularity was rapidly increasing.
’But doing this, could we provoke the wrath of Instakill? What if he cos to kill us?’ another player said with a hint of concern.
’Who is Instakill? His ti is spent leveling up; he wouldn’t bother with us. We should be lucky that we’re not going after him!’ Mad Traceless shook his head, ’However, we can’t move against him yet. We’ll wait a few months to grow stronger. Then it’ll be Instakill’s end, and by then, I’ll also receive support from the Half-Beast Holy Land. I’m going to step on him to rise and beco a super expert in the China region!’
Having said this, Mad Traceless laughed confidently, toasting enthusiastically with the others, as if he could see a bright future ahead. (To be continued.
