Chapter 131: The Trap of Mie Tian

The players in the temple had a simple thought—no matter what connection the woman at the door had with the BOSS, killing the BOSS was the top priority!

Who cared if she was doing some quest? Whatever it was, it could wait until after they killed the BOSS! This was a world BOSS over level 50! The rewards were bound to be rich!

Even though the party that landed the killing blow would take fifty percent of the experience, the other fifty percent was split based on damage dealt!

I hadn’t expected that this seemingly powerful temple BOSS would be so respectful toward me, causing such a奇妙化学反应 the moment I arrived.

I had originally planned to sneak in quietly and do some mischief!

So much for sneaking!

Because I was wrapped up tightly, with my name and guild emblem hidden, even the people from Sword Sweeping the World and Ten Thousand Souls Hall didn’t recognize me at first.

But Black Mirror Star Master and Jiu Ge recognized Yingning, who stood behind me with a similarly shocked expression, and connected that to my exposed white tail. They quickly guessed my identity.

Jiangu sent me a message: [Use your method to freeze the BOSS. Don’t let it move. After we kill it, I’ll reward you handsomely.]

The other players also shouted, “Come in! Beautiful! Killing the BOSS is what matters! It’s a world BOSS!”

Jiu Ge, the representative of Ten Thousand Souls Hall, sent the opposite message: [Don’t go in. Let the BOSS weaken Sword Sweeping the World’s strength!]

They were at odds. Who should I listen to?

After thinking it over… I was a member of Ten Thousand Souls Hall now! So… I wouldn’t go in!

[Reply to Jiangu: No can do, boss. The boss of Ten Thousand Souls Hall won’t let me go in… If I go in, won’t I expose my identity? So which boss should I listen to, boss?]

“Come in!”

“Get in here! If you don’t, believe me, we’ll kill you!”

“Come in! After the BOSS dies, if we big shots get some meat, we might be in a good mood and let you have some soup!”

Suddenly, a barrage of curses erupted from the crowd, pissing me off. Jiangu frowned too. “Asking for help yet acting so arrogantly? Whose people are this stupid? Not Ten Thousand Souls Hall—their president may be socially inept, but he’s not dumb. He wouldn’t bring such ill-mannered people to an important BOSS fight… Are they freelancers?”

Black Mirror Star Master beside him was also surprised. “The freelancers were foolish before, but they weren’t all so lacking in manners, so recklessly arrogant. Looking at their behavior, it seems somewhat familiar… the same arrogance, the same dismissiveness, an attitude that believes the world revolves around them.”

Unexpectedly, the rude shouting intensified, until hundreds of the freelancers joined in a mindless tirade, as if it were an unforgivable sin for me not to walk in… Did I owe them something?

“I’m not going in today! Leturas, slash! Slash hard!”

I didn’t know if the BOSS heard me, but it was hacking away fiercely, showing no mercy.

“Sorry, little lady, today you don’t get a choice!”

At some point, a group of people had appeared behind me out of nowhere!

Yes, a group! I clearly remembered that only Yingning had been there before!

Now, a crowd had appeared silently!

I turned back to scan the temple, shocked to find that in an instant, the number of players inside had also surged. The once-spacious temple was now packed!

One unfamiliar face after another kept popping up in the crowd, and even now, the numbers were still growing!

Where had these people come from?

Although I didn’t know why so many players could suddenly teleport into the temple, they all shared a common trait—they wore a sword-shaped guild brooch even more arrogant than Sword Sweeping the World’s. Though lacking the ancient elegance, it exuded a sharper, more aggressive aura.

The sword intent could be summed up in two words—arrogance!

Jiangu’s eyes narrowed. “We’ve been set up! Everyone retreat!”

“Too late! Hahaha… Brothers… kill!”

I stared dumbfounded as the countless players who had suddenly appeared packed the temple. Their name tags were blood-red, almost purple. The moment they appeared, they began slaughtering everyone around them—whether from Sword Sweeping the World, Ten Thousand Souls Hall, or the freelancers, none were spared!

I quickly pieced together the cause and effect.

It seemed that Sword Sweeping the World, Ten Thousand Souls Hall, and even the freelancers had all been used!

This new guild—Mie Tian—was the name on their brooches.

They had set up a teleportation array in the temple earlier! Although I didn’t know how they possessed such a ridiculous strategic tool, there was no doubt that this temple BOSS expedition was entirely a trap! A scheme orchestrated by Mie Tian!

Before my arrival, Mie Tian’s leaders had planned to let the two major guilds and the freelancers fight the BOSS until both sides were weakened, then suddenly teleport in for a sneak attack, reaping the benefits.

But my arrival made them restless.

Mie Tian’s leaders believed that major guilds had countless ways to negotiate interests, and that I might cooperate with Jiangu and Ten Thousand Souls Hall to harvest the BOSS. If the BOSS didn’t resist and was slaughtered, then the three factions’ strength wouldn’t be worn down, leaving them at peak output.

Thus, even if Mie Tian appeared at the last moment, they wouldn’t have one hundred percent certainty of securing the BOSS. They would face a strong counterattack from the three factions and couldn’t send them all back to the city in time, making the BOSS’s ownership uncertain.

So they had to launch the plan early, using their absolute numerical advantage from the teleportation array to kill off the three factions quickly, then exploit the strange connection between me and the BOSS to wear it down.

Either way, by luring the main forces of Sword Sweeping the World and Ten Thousand Souls Hall into the temple, and then using Mie Tian’s overwhelming strength to wipe them out in one fell swoop, they had already succeeded!

Jiangu and Dong Jun instantly understood everything. They realized that even if the three factions united, they might not be able to touch this BOSS. They immediately gave up on the idea of continuing to fight it, to avoid unnecessary losses.

After all, every death among a major guild’s elite team was a huge loss!

“Give up! This time, I’ve brought twenty thousand men! One fireball each is enough to blast you to pieces! Hahaha! Surprised? Jiangu, Dong Jun, didn’t expect you’d have a day like this, did you?” The man behind me, the commander of the Mie Tian guild for this operation—President Bai Li Mie Tian—laughed arrogantly as he blocked the temple’s main entrance.

Mie Tian guild, Bai Li Mie Tian… Such a deliberately villainous name made my secondhand embarrassment flare up.

Where was Yingning?

Seeing that Yingning’s name in the party list was still lit, I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed she was just blocked outside the temple by the group that had teleported in.

“Green Giant, charge! Mage squads 4 and 5, blast a path! Protect the elite team’s breakout! Triple KDP reward for anyone who dies.” Jiangu remained calm, dodging attacks from the assassins that had appeared beside him while issuing orders decisively.

“Bai Li Mie Tian…” Dong Jun gritted his teeth, glaring at the tall Divine-blood Warrior behind me. “Ten Thousand Souls Hall will remember this.”

“Hey, Eunuch Dong, I’ll come visit you at the respawn point!” Bai Li Mie Tian didn’t care about Dong Jun’s threat at all. Given Mie Tian’s style, he probably heard such curses tens of thousands of times a day. He was long used to it.

Then Bai Li Mie Tian stopped paying attention to the battle among the three guilds… The outcome was already decided.

He turned his gaze to me.

“Pretty lady, stay put and don’t move. Don’t even think about killing yourself. I have ten thousand ways to make you lose control. You’d best wait obediently until I finish dealing with them, then do what you need to do.”
