Chapter 337 Clarification, is it you?
Master Chongyue has been transformed into a malevolent NPC. Starting today, players who defeat Chongyue will receive a significant reward!
The announcement caused an uproar among the players:
"What? Master Chongyue became a malicious NPC because he killed players? Does that mean NPCs can't kill players at will?"
"Impossible. Have you ever seen a game where NPCs can't kill players? Maybe Master Chongyue has a special identity?"
"Wow, there's a huge reward for killing him? Amazing!"
"Come on, he's still an NPC. With a wave of his hand, we'd all be tripped up. Who would dare kill him?"
Ji Xinghan watched from afar and saw that Master Chongyue was stunned.
He stood there stunned for a full three minutes, then let out a roar: "Ah!"
This is absolutely insane!
Zero One stood not far away, trembling with fear.
After roaring for several minutes, Master Chongyue stopped and looked coldly at Zero One: "Tell me, what just happened?"
Zero One, trembling with fear, said, "Sir, we brought men here to take action, but you told me to wait a moment. Shortly after, you sent word to act quickly, so we came to besiege Luye and Yingyue. Everything was going well, but suddenly all the controlled players woke up and scattered. Before I could find out why, you appeared..."
"Wait!" Master Chongyue frowned. "I've been telling you to act as soon as possible. When did I ask you to wait?"
Ling Yi was stunned: "You told me this yourself just now."
Master Chongyue pondered for a moment, then said coldly, "Continue!"
Lingyi bowed and said, "After you appeared, you made a high-profile announcement that you would protect Madam Yingyue, and that you would kill anyone who dared to kill her..."
Master Chongyue frowned slightly: "How is that possible? After I appeared, I didn't even have time to speak before that group of outsiders came and attacked me!"
Zero One looked bewildered: "That's because you said before that you were going to protect the lady and let those outsiders come after you!"
"When did I say that?" Master Chongyue realized something was wrong.
Zero was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood: "Before you appear a second time!"
Master Chongyue: "The second time?"
Zero One guessed what was going on and cautiously asked, "Sir, is someone impersonating you?"
Master Chongyue's face was very ugly. Needless to say, someone was definitely impersonating him, and that person's disguise skills were extremely high, even Lingyi didn't notice.
Master Chongyue clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with rage. He glanced at the small courtyard not far away and gritted his teeth: "It must have been Lu Ye who did it. Heh, I never thought he had such cunning thoughts!"
Zero One asked worriedly, "Sir, what should we do now?"
Master Chongyue turned around and glared fiercely at the closed courtyard of the Valley of Heartbreak, his eyes filled with ruthlessness: "Just now I suddenly lost control of my reason, otherwise I wouldn't have killed so many outsiders. Someone must have done it in secret—it was Lu Ye!"
He lacked confidence in defeating Kano, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to make Kano and the players kill each other.
Now labeled a villain for breaking the rules, his years of scheming have been ruined, and he is driven to madness.
Master Chongyue's face was icy cold: "Go, let the poison envoys continue their poisoning. This time, there's no need to hide it. I want to turn this world into a hell!"
He sneered, "Evil people? Hmph, I'll show them what evil is!"
Ji Xinghan recorded a video from a short distance away and then took a screenshot.
Inside the arson squad, everyone was very happy:
Luo Mingxin: "Hahaha, I'm so happy, Chongyue has finally gotten his comeuppance!"
Jiang Lingyue: "Our gang's sisters have finally woken up, and they all have to thank Xiaohan."
Luo Mingxin: "Yes, yes, our gang members also want to thank Boss Ji. If it weren't for Boss Ji, they would definitely be dead this time."
Jian Lin: "Ah, it's finally over!"
Ji Xinghan said worriedly, "It might not be over yet."
She merely exposed Master Chongyue's true colors and tricked him. Master Chongyue is still perfectly fine. Now that he's given up and is likely to spread the virus far and wide.
This time, he will openly and blatantly spread the drugs!
Players are probably having a tough time.
Sure enough, the chat channel didn't stay quiet for long; the players panicked:
"What's going on? Why are the numbers dropping so quickly? Is there a new virus?"
"Yes, those poisoned players who were barely surviving before suddenly became incurable. They were exposed to a lot of strange and unusual viruses with high mortality and infection rates. It's terrifying."
"Is it Lady Yingyue's fault?"
Jian Lin: "No!"
Jian Lin, Ji Xinghan, Jin Baiwan, Jiang Lingyue, Lu Gan and others have all posted many videos.
These videos were either recorded by Ji Xinghan himself or by people he asked to record.
They've all been sent out!
The first video shows Ji Xinghan, impersonating Master Chongyue, issuing orders to Zero One.
The second video is a conversation between Ji Xinghan, who is impersonating Gongsun Ban, and Master Chongyue.
The third video shows Master Chongyue killing a player.
The fourth video is a bit further away, and all you can hear is Master Chongyue saying one sentence: "Let the poison messengers continue their poisonous acts. This time, there's no need to hide anything. I'm going to turn this world into a hell!"
With so many videos, there's almost no need for explanation; everyone knows what happened.
Players are discussing it extensively:
"So, these viruses have nothing to do with Yingyue, and were all spread by Chongyue? He framed Yingyue?"
"My God, are there really people like this? He pretends to be deeply in love every day, but in reality, he's secretly framing and slandering her. No wonder Yingyue didn't choose him!"
"That guy is so vicious!"
"That's not all! I heard that Chongyue was once an expelled apprentice. Luye and Yingyue rescued him, took him in, and taught him alchemy. But he coveted Yingyue and tried to drive Luye away. He went to great lengths to marry Yingyue!"
"Yes, yes, I've heard that too. The reason Chongyue was able to become a master alchemist is because of Yingyue's teachings!"
Ji Xinghan couldn't help but take a closer look at that person.
It was actually Yang Tingxue?
He knows a lot of information!
Few players know about Master Chongyue's secret past. Although she heard some of it at the Alchemy Conference, she hadn't had a chance to tell anyone yet. How did this person know so much?
Because of Yang Tingxue's revelation, players' opinions of Master Chongyue have changed drastically:
"Tsk tsk tsk, so Master Chongyue is an ungrateful wretch!"
"What a scumbag! He has terrible character!"
"Listen to this! He even keeps a group of drug dealers. How despicable!"
"Sigh, this virus just won't stop, when will it ever end! Almost everyone is dying!"
Yang Tingxue: "Actually, the situation is even worse in other servers. At least the virus here spreads for a while and then stops, but the virus in other servers has never stopped. There is one server with less than 30,000 players left. Don't you think that's scary?"
Jian Lin: "So our district is considered pretty good?"
Yang Tingxue: "Yes, our district has the best situation!"
Ji Xinghan suddenly remembered that the person who had wiped Master Chongyue earlier seemed familiar to her. Thinking about it carefully, the person's back view looked very similar to Yang Tingxue's.
Could it be him?
She couldn't help but message Yang Tingxue privately: "Is that you?"
