"Every man has his own ambition, no need to bother with them, let’s go after Overturning Water first!"

Dai Xuan had just suffered the treatment of betrayal and desertion, so his mood couldn’t have been very good. Nevertheless, he didn’t give in to despair. After taking a deep breath, his eyes once again became sharp as he asked, "Does anyone know where Overturning Water fled to?"

"Over there!"

Although it was chaotic at the time, Su Ran’s escape route couldn’t be concealed from everyone. It was only natural that the players had spotted him. Several players almost simultaneously pointed deeper into the area, their intentions clear without words.

"Chase!"

This time, Dai Xuan chose not to ride the Red Gold Cloud Tiger but rushed forward with his subordinates instead.

This showed that the speech from the mage player had indeed made a considerable impact on him, or else he wouldn’t have made such a significant change.

Seeing Dai Xuan’s unusual behavior, the players felt somewhat unaccustomed. They consciously followed behind Dai Xuan, not wanting to become the target of his anger, lest they become the complete scapegoat.

However.

When Dai Xuan and his men reached the secret chamber, they did not see Su Ran’s figure, which infuriated him. The duck that was cooked to perfection had flown away!

"Damn it, he still managed to escape!"

Dai Xuan angrily cursed, unwilling to accept this outcome. However, this time he didn’t blame anyone else and could do nothing about it.

"Leader, don’t worry, Overturning Water probably escaped back to the Ghost City. Let’s head back to the city now, and we might be able to trap him inside!"

A Healer came to Dai Xuan’s side, starting to strategize, "There’s no penalty for malicious PK inside the Ghost City, so consider taking him down there!"

"Makes sense!"

A glint of light shone in Dai Xuan’s eyes as he said impatiently, "Go, everyone back to the city!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Countless lights appeared in the secret chamber as the players all teleported back to the Ghost City. As for the pile of rubble not far away, no one paid attention to it. Accidentally, they overlooked the secret of the teleportation formation.

The Healer was not wrong; Su Ran was indeed in the Ghost City. As for why he hadn’t hurried back to the God-Demon Continent, it was because he hadn’t found Lamp Soul yet, and he still had some Ghost Clan equipment to deal with. Why rush back without finishing these two matters?!

"I can’t take out this token in the Ghost City, if the Ghost Clan NPCs notice it, that would be really troublesome!"

Su Ran knew that the token was definitely a treasure, he suppressed the urge to inspect the token and started carefully observing his surroundings.

"I wonder if the buildings in the Ghost City are open to the public."

Seeing that there weren’t many players inside the Ghost City, and those present were hurried and didn’t notice him, Su Ran then stood up and walked towards the biggest ghost house in front of him.

Not long after Su Ran left, Dai Xuan and his men appeared in the Ghost City. Since there were still quite a few players without the Ghost Pearl, they were directly expelled from the Ghost City.

"Search everyone, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find Overturning Water for me!"

Dai Xuan’s gaze swept across the Ghost City like lightning, searching for the figure of that black-robed, masked player.

"Leader, there he is!"

A player spotted the black-robed figure at a corner and immediately shouted excitedly, as if he had won a great prize.

"Chase!"

All the players followed Dai Xuan’s lead and quickly pursued the figure in the black robe.

Very quickly.

The players encircled the cloaked player, with Dai Xuan fearing the youngster would escape into the sky, went straight for the kill. Several warriors triggered their Jump Cut ability, forming a huge net in mid-air, and enveloping the cloaked player in it.

"Damn it, what are you trying to do?"

By the time the cloaked player realized something was wrong, it was too late. Seeing nearly a hundred players attacking him, he nearly wet his pants, turned deathly pale, and let out a scream.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

All the attacks hit the cloaked player; this poor guy didn’t even get a chance to understand what was happening before his legs kicked out, and he was gone from this world.

"Oh no, we killed the wrong person!"

Dai Xuan, frowning deeply, realized from the voice that this person was not Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained!

"Of all the people to imitate, you had to imitate Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained; serves you right to be killed!"

An adjacent player couldn’t help but make snide remarks, feeling unsatisfied and kicking the corpse.

"Shut up!"

Dai Xuan cast a cold glance at the speaker and, after brewing his words, continued, "This player was just an innocent victim. You kill recklessly and still think you’re in the right? Indeed, it’s time for a reformation of the Dancing Demons guild! If brothers choose to leave today, we must reflect on ourselves. Otherwise, more and more will leave!"

"Yes, Guild Leader, I know I was wrong."

Hearing such words from the mouth of Dai Xuan was astonishing, as unbelievable as if the sun were rising from the west. However, now that Guild Leader Dai Xuan had this realization, naturally, the player was supportive, quickly adding, "Guild Leader, I’ll take the blame for this. I will find this player, compensate and apologize to him. Our Dancing Demons guild is a guild of quality and culture!"

"Well said. Then you stay here and make sure to handle this properly. The rest of you scatter and search for Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained!"

Dai Xuan had just made arrangements and was about to set off when the phone outside his gaming pod rang.

Before long.

Dai Xuan had returned online, his face ashen with anger, the hatred in his eyes almost tangible.

"Guild Leader, what happened?"

The player who stayed behind got a bad feeling upon seeing Dai Xuan’s expression and asked cautiously.

"Damn it, our lair, the Dark Abyss, has been taken opportunistically!"

"Holy shit! Who would do such a dirty deed behind our backs?"

"Tiger Supreme, I will never share the sky with you!"

Dai Xuan gritted his teeth, then burst into a mad laughter, "Hahaha, my Dancing Demons have always acted unbridled, never expecting such a day to come. Now look, retribution has arrived, and we deserve such a disaster!"

"Guild Leader, don’t lose heart. When we brothers unite, we can take it back! Though, speaking of which, Tiger Supreme is really greedy, not content with just the Demon Tower but wanting to own the Dark Abyss too—what a big appetite!"

"Withered Fish, you can gloat for now. Wait until I escape the Ghost Clan’s clutches, and then we’ll settle the score!"

At this point, Dai Xuan well knew he’d fallen for Withered Fish’s trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain; such humiliation, how could he bear it!

...

As for Su Ran, he had long since entered a haunted house. He walked cautiously on the floorboards, the creaking sounds following one after another, filling him with tension and fear.

If a fierce-faced ghost suddenly popped out in such an environment, it could scare Su Ran into a heart attack.
