"An event that could throw the entire continent into chaos—could it be that the ratmen from the mountains are about to launch an attack on this side?"
"Perhaps. It seems your generation is about to face another test," the old man muttered to himself.
A four-winged white tiger streaked through the sky at incredible speed.
"Sister Zhou Yu, you guys got here so quickly," Yang Zi said with a look of shame.
Zhou Yu patted Yang Zi's head and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You can handle small-scale battles. If there's a large-scale battle, protect yourselves first. Wasn't that our plan before? What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Tell me about the situation over there first.
"Currently, six families have joined forces to suppress us, with a total of about 80,000 people involved. Among them, the Karl family is the most vocal."
They were the first to try and tamper with the skill book.
After discussing it, Yang Zi ordered people to continue selling skill books outside the city, while Yang Zi led Zhou Yu and the others straight to Karl's house, intending to make an example of him.
"I guess those people have already left. Didn't you see that the six major families joined forces to deal with them?" said a poorly dressed man.
"Damn it, those big families are no good. They probably want to hoard those skill books and then resell them at a high price."
"Exactly! When I become an ability user in the future, I will definitely not join those family forces."
"I think there's no hope. They've already left."
"I came from over a thousand kilometers away, and now I guess I'll have made a wasted trip."
“You’ve only come from a little over a thousand kilometers away, while I came from Kela Town, which is three thousand kilometers away.”
"Everyone, stop talking and look over there!"
Following the direction the man pointed, the clamor of discussion abruptly ceased.
In the distance, a swarm of bees flew closer and closer in the sky.
"Run, everyone! The flying beasts are coming!" a timid boy shouted.
Before the boy could even take two steps, a girl grabbed him. "Wei Lande, you coward! How can I believe your nonsense? You said becoming an ability user would protect me."
The people around burst into laughter. "Young man, those aren't flying beasts, they're the mounts of the Dragon Gate members," a ragged old man mocked.
The boy blushed as he looked at the expressions of the people around him. He grabbed the girl's clothes and said, "Mena, let me explain."
Just as the two were arguing, a member of the Dragon Gate shouted through a megaphone, "Sales have resumed. Those who wish to buy, please line up again."
Soon, a huge crowd lined up again in front of the dozens of stalls.
After reporting the matter, the members of the six major families who were monitoring inside the city gate gathered the soldiers together again.
A man with a pointed face and monkey-like features said in the square, "This time, everyone get your flying vehicles ready. Don't let them get away like before."
Before the man could even shout "Let's go!", Zhou Yu's voice rang out, "Do you think you still have a chance?"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless giant ice blocks appeared in the sky, which instantly transformed into countless ice spikes that flew downwards.
"Ah, ah!"
Screams echoed across the square.
A moment later, the frightened crowd dispersed, leaving only a few thousand people scattered around the square.
"I know you're all in cahoots! All of you who aren't dead, get on top of me!" the weasel-faced man roared.
Although Zhou Yu only brought a few thousand people, these people all possessed group skills, and their current battle positions formed an encirclement, which was extremely advantageous for them.
As more and more pitiful screams rang out, these tens of thousands of people quickly and silently disappeared from the Dragon Origin Continent.
"Honey, Zhou Yu has successfully completed the clearing mission. Song Qian and Shangguan Liang have each led their teams to Kangyuan Kingdom and Dilu Kingdom."
The same situation occurred there, just like it did with Zhou Yu.
“It seems some people are truly fearless in the face of enormous profits. We’ll stay here for the night, and if nothing else happens, the rest of us will head to the other side of the mountains first thing tomorrow morning. I want to strive to reach level 100 when the real crisis arrives,” Yuan Chuyi said, clenching his fist.
Night falls
As expected, Yuan Chuyi had just received messages from Zhou Yu and his group, all of which were from powerful families who were trying to take advantage of the sales team.
Fortunately, the teams led by Zhou Yu, Song Qian, and Shangguan Liang arrived in time, but unfortunately, more than a dozen people still died today.
"Look at your furrowed brow. People always die in war."
"Yeah, you should try to think more positively."
The girls offered their words of comfort.
Yuan Chuyi forced a smile. In truth, although the deaths of the Dragon Gate members saddened him, they were within his expectations.
In a distant four-star empire, Zhao Lei watched the survivors still queuing up late at night to buy skills and grabbed his hair hard.
"Qingshan, you keep a close eye on things here. I'm going into town."
Qingshan grinned and said, "I understand, I understand, you can go in now."
As soon as Zhao Lei left, one of his young men asked, "Brother Qingshan, what did our boss go to the city for?"
"Don't pry into men's business, you little brat," Qingshan said with a laugh.
"Who says I'm young? I know what the boss has been up to! I saw it all during the day. Those girls from the capital chatted with the boss for ages before leaving. He must have been bored and went to find them, hehehe."
"You're not allowed to tell anyone, or the boss will get you!"
Deep in a narrow alley, a woman of the night pointed to an entrance and said, "Brother Zhao, this is where the royal family lives."
"So this small place is actually where the royal family lives. No wonder I couldn't find it during the day."
While thinking to himself, Zhao Lei also thanked the woman, "Miss Liu, thank you for this time. I have a small-scale skill book here, which I'll give you as a token of my gratitude."
Soon, Zhao Lei successfully infiltrated the underground imperial city using the invisibility skill taught to him by Yuan Chuyi, and even entered a princess's room.
With a knock on the door, Li Liu walked in, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. "I need to rest. You don't need to come here."
"Yes, Princess."
Zhao Lei carefully observed You Li's appearance, comparing her to the woman Yuan Chuyi had described.
"The identity matches, the area matches, the height matches, and the appearance is similar."
Zhao Lei asked in a low voice, "Do you know Yuan Chuyi?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a beam of red light shot toward the direction where Zhao Lei was hiding.
Zhao Lei was startled, but he was quick to react and dodged the laser sword by sidestepping.
"Who! How did you get in?!" You Li asked fiercely.
"Wait, do you know someone named Yuan Chuyi?" Zhao Lei asked, raising his voice slightly.
This time, Li heard it clearly. Although she did not launch another attack, her standing posture showed that she was still on guard.
"Who are you? How do you know Yuan Chuyi's name?" You Li asked cautiously.
