Chapter 323: Chapter 52: Tingfeng? You’re That Newcomer Who Successfully Created the Player Kingdom!?

Gazing in Qin Feng’s direction, Gumu Qi’s voice softened with awe.

"The Divine Realm Domain after level 100..."

"So many Lord Players struggle for decades in the Lord World, pouring everything they have into it—their energy, their fortunes—yet they can’t even reach the basic threshold..."

"And yet, a complete newcomer, maybe not even twenty-five years old, can step into the Divine Realm Domain..."

"Incredible..."

Done marveling, Gumu Qi wasted no more time. He immediately operated the special device in his hand, precisely entering the name "Tingfeng" into the system.

Then, his fingertips flew across the device’s panel as he sent a message to the other Lord Players of the Freljord Alliance, his tone urgent and filled with anticipation:

"Is anyone from the diplomatic department available?"

"We need to send someone to make contact with this young genius named Tingfeng immediately. Do everything you can to win him over and see if we can recruit him into the Freljord Alliance."

"If there’s no one, we’ll have to temporarily abandon our patrol mission and prioritize making contact with this genius newcomer, Tingfeng."

It wasn’t long before he received a reply.

The other members of the Freljord Alliance responded.

The reply was, as expected, that the professionals from the diplomatic department had their hands full and couldn’t break away. The Freljord Alliance therefore directly assigned Gumu Qi’s patrol squad to temporarily handle all matters related to contacting Tingfeng.

And so, what began as a routine identity check had suddenly become a VIP escort mission. Without another word, Gumu Qi and Liao Bing’s group decided to accompany Qin Feng on his search for Zhao Chuan’s hiding place.

Although Qin Feng’s Eye of the Hunter Talent had its limitations—he could neither directly tell others Zhao Chuan’s current coordinates nor reveal that his sole purpose was to eliminate the Evil God Player.

However, he *could* tell them that he already knew the true identity of the Evil God Player, Zhao Chuan.

Besides, he didn’t need to stop them from coming with him.

On the contrary, he could use the strength of his two "escorts" to follow the trail and root out any other Evil God accomplices connected to Zhao Chuan.

And so, Qin Feng simply allowed them to follow.

When they finally ran into Zhao Chuan, all he’d have to do was tell Gumu Qi and the others, "Let me be the one to kill Zhao Chuan." That way, he could proceed with his plan to completely obliterate Zhao Chuan while also using Gumu Qi’s group to fend off any counterattacks from other high-level Evil God Players.

"Wait!"

Liao Bing shot forward a step, his voice thick with urgency and disbelief.

"Tingfeng!"

"Are you saying there’s an Evil God Player hiding here? And you know his exact location?"

He swallowed hard, his voice rising as he pressed on.

"And you came here *specifically* to deal with him?"

Qin Feng met their gazes and nodded slowly. His voice was calm, yet it carried an unmistakable conviction.

"Yes."

"I’ve killed him before in the Lord World. I even destroyed his Lord’s Hall."

"But to my surprise, his Evil God Believer accomplices used some means to resurrect him in the Real World."

A flicker of curiosity crossed Gumu Qi’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but ask,

"Oh?"

"Then how did you know he was resurrected?"

"And how could you pinpoint his location to this very city in the Lucky Forest?"

Qin Feng fell silent at the question, offering no reply.

Seeing Qin Feng’s reluctance to discuss it, Gumu Qi—eager to get on the good side of this genius—wisely took the hint and didn’t press the matter.

Besides, as guardians of order in the Real World, they had their own well-established methods for identifying Evil God Players. These methods allowed them to pinpoint targets without harming innocents, ensuring they wouldn’t be led by the nose.

So, as long as they could confirm that the person Tingfeng was after was indeed an Evil God Player, they would give Qin Feng their full support.

After all, eliminating such a scourge that threatened everyone’s interests was not only their duty, but it also protected their own friends and family from the menace of Evil God Players.

Of course, there were lines that couldn’t be crossed.

If Qin Feng was lying—for instance, if Zhao Chuan wasn’t an Evil God Player at all, but merely someone with whom Qin Feng had a grudge from the game, a grudge he intended to settle in the Real World by threatening his rival’s family and friends—then the situation would be entirely different.

No matter how much Gumu Qi and the others admired Qin Feng’s talent, as guardians of order in the Real World, they would have to act officially and put a stop to any "real-world vendetta" that could threaten its stability.

After all, all the major Player Alliances dedicated to maintaining order in the Real World were in complete agreement on one point: conflicts between Lord Players were to be settled in the Lord World.

Whether someone wanted to teach an opponent a lesson or completely destroy their Lord’s Hall, it had to be settled in-game, a true test of their individual abilities.

Spilling conflicts over into the Real World and affecting innocent people was absolutely forbidden.

The reason they adhered so strictly to this rule, according to Hungry Wolf and MC, was that Lord Players wreaking havoc in the Real World could trigger catastrophic consequences.

In the early days, a particularly bloodthirsty veteran player had completely disregarded the rules, going on a rampage of arson, murder, and pillaging in the Real World. He not only caused immeasurable Chaos but also plunged everyone nearby into a state of constant, unbearable terror.

It wasn’t until the majority of Lord Players finally had enough and united to launch a joint campaign against the rogue veteran that the crisis was resolved. Only after he was completely subdued did the thorny situation finally come to an end.

But as for what specific crisis that destruction triggered back then, even Hungry Wolf and MC couldn’t say for sure.

They speculated that some Powerful, in-the-know individuals from that era had likely used some form of immense Magic to completely seal the memories of everyone who had witnessed the event.

And that was why the key details of the incident remained a mystery no one could solve.

But the rule itself was never forgotten.

Any Lord Player who dared to kill indiscriminately in the Real World or incite internal conflict would immediately find themselves targeted by all the major Player Alliances dedicated to maintaining order.

In severe cases, these major Player Alliances would even resort to doxxing the offender’s Lord Plane coordinates. They would then initiate a "Plane migration," gathering their forces to invade the offender’s Lord World and launch a relentless, 24/7 manhunt until the target was completely purged.

Qin Feng wasn’t concerned about any of this.

Because Zhao Chuan was a special case—someone who had died and returned to life—his physical condition was bound to be completely different from an ordinary player’s.

What’s more, Zhao Chuan had already lost his status as a Lord Player.

Based on these two points alone, Gumu Qi and the others would be able to spot the abnormalities about Zhao Chuan the moment they laid eyes on him. He wouldn’t need to waste a single breath explaining.

Soon, under the precise guidance of Qin Feng’s Eye of the Hunter, the group flew across the sky above the city and arrived at the apartment complex where Zhao Chuan was hiding. Looking up, they could see the target’s floor.

Qin Feng’s gaze fell calmly on the residential building in front of them, his tone completely placid.

"This is the place."

"The one who defected to the Evil God Faction is in there now."

At his words, Gumu Qi’s brow furrowed slightly as doubt crept into his mind. ’I recognize this address. This is clearly the base for a small Player Alliance called the Magic Squad.’

’According to the Freljord Alliance’s records, all the Lord Players here voluntarily registered their game IDs. They’re model citizens, so to speak, and have never caused any trouble.’

’In fact, the members of the Magic Squad often reach out to us in the Freljord Alliance, either to share game strategies or just to hang out. We’ve always had a pretty good relationship.’

’How could a law-abiding group like this be hiding an Evil God Player?’
