Chapter 1099: Chapter 1018: There Is No Regret Medicine in This World

"Injustice? Haha, I’ll give you injustice, you motherfucker!"

Dai Xuan, furious and laughing, had his anger erupt on the spot. Without a second thought, he ferociously swung his red-tasseled spear at the player in front of him. But before the blow could land, one of his subordinates stopped it.

"Leader, no!"

"Right, we’re all brothers here. What’s there that we can’t resolve through talk? Is there really a need for deadly force?"

"Leader, even if our brother has made a mistake, shouldn’t we give him a chance to make amends? And besides, he’s scored so many Town Recall Scrolls for us, that’s got to count for something, right?"

Players who couldn’t stand to watch anymore started speaking out to mediate the dispute.

"Hmph!"

Dai Xuan let out a heavy snort and with force, slammed his red-tasseled spear into the ground, causing a thundering sound. Having vented the resentment in his heart, he stopped there.

"Hahaha, Dai Xuan, you think I’m done with you just because you’re done with me? Just a lousy leader, such grand airs you put on! What do you take your brothers for? Slaves without rights? It’s just a game, dumbass!"

Seeing Dai Xuan act so heartlessly, the player simply tore off the pretense, clutching the Town Recall Scroll tightly in his hand, and sneered, "Dai Xuan, since you choose to be unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust!"

"You!"

As this player blurted out such words, Dai Xuan’s heart gave a fierce pound, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind. He quickly yelled at the players around him, "Capture him!"

"Now you realize you’re in panic? Hahaha, too late!"

The player laughed loudly three times, then bellowed at the top of his lungs, "To hell with this shitty guild, I’m done serving you!"

"Swoosh!"

Having vented his frustration, the player didn’t hesitate to crush the Town Recall Scroll, turning into a flash of light and disappearing from everyone’s sight.

Faced with this unexpected event, the players looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and they just shut up, watching to see how Dai Xuan would handle the situation.

Players in Skeleton Village who noticed the commotion gathered around, driven by curiosity to find out what exactly was happening.

"Damn it!"

Upon receiving the news of the player leaving the guild, Dai Xuan looked ashen. He fully understood what the departure of this player meant. And in his fit of rage, he suddenly lost his energy, looking like a lifeless zombie, with his back even hunched over considerably.

Forcing another brother to leave the guild, when would Leader Dai learn to change his fiery temper? But with things having gone this far, even regret was too late.

The players watched Dai Xuan’s devastated state in silence, feeling a sigh of lament.

If one had known this day would come, why did it start in the first place?

"Brothers, even if you don’t say it, I understand that I was wrong this time."

After a moment of silence, Dai Xuan came to terms with it, candidly admitting his fault. This time, he had not only lost his wife but also his soldiers, suffering a great loss in gold coins, not getting a single Town Recall Scroll, and driving a subordinate to quit the guild—disasters all caused by his own hands!

"It’s because my temper was too explosive and that’s what has chilled the hearts of you brothers. Don’t worry, I, Dai Xuan, will bear this loss alone! I will fill the financial gap in the guild, and what we need to do now is to go buy more Town Recall Scrolls. Let’s not miss the New Year’s event in one day’s time."

Under Dai Xuan’s command, players began to busy themselves, but what depressed them was the shameless increase in price of the powerful Town Recall Scrolls, which had risen to 600 gold coins.

At this moment, Dai Xuan’s heart was filled with regret. His subordinate had managed to buy fifteen Town Recall Scrolls for only 500 gold coins. Instead of being praised, he was scolded and beaten. Who wouldn’t feel wronged?

He deserved this outcome!

...

God-Demon Continent, the peak of Demonic Treasure Mountain, Skeleton Village.

"Swoosh."

The light dissipated, and Su Ran appeared in Skeleton Village.

The village was as quiet and peaceful as ever, with no one in sight, which made Su Ran feel an extraordinary sense of familiarity, as if he had returned home. All his disguises and precautions were dropped at this moment, making him feel much more relaxed.

"Phew, this trip to the Ghost Realm can finally be concluded."

Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief. He felt he had gained a lot in the Ghost Realm, at the very least nearly 13,000 gold coins—a complete windfall! However, there were also many disappointments, such as Lamp Soul, the Heavenly Pet Token...

Thinking of these, the excitement in Su Ran’s eyes diminished quite a bit.

"First, I should rescue the Skeleton Saint before considering anything else."

After going through the quests he had accepted, Su Ran’s gaze lingered on the entrusted quest given by the Skeleton Saint. After all, it was a timed quest and could not be delayed—the sooner it was completed, the better!

As for the repair of the Heavenly Pet Token, Su Ran had pushed it to the back of his mind.

However,

Just as Su Ran had teleported to the Dark Swamp, the content on the World Channel caught his attention.

"Pah! You bastards from Tiger Supreme, taking advantage of our Leader’s absence to attack the Dark Abyss, don’t you have any shame left?"

"Tiger Supreme, you’ve refreshed the bottom line of being human, I never knew you could be so sneaky, I’ve really learned something new!"

"What’s this? We at Tiger Supreme have always acted openly and honorably, even attacking the Dark Abyss in an upright manner. How can there be any talk of a sneak attack? If you can’t defend it, you blame us for attacking. I think the ones who are shameless are your group of defeated followers. Hahaha, if you can’t accept losing, then don’t play the game!"

"Haha, if you dare, take it back from us. The Tiger Supreme guild is always welcome for you to visit the Dark Abyss!"

The World Channel was a mess with name-calling, and the parties involved were members of the Tiger Supreme and Dancing Demons guilds. The whole World Channel was in an uproar, with a group of players who loved to watch the world burn, constantly stirring trouble on the World Channel, hoping these two guilds would continue to fight.

"So that’s what happened. Dai Xuan led the main force into the Ghost Realm, naturally weakening the defense of the Dark Abyss. Tiger Supreme took the opportunity to snatch this piece of fat meat, securing the Dark Abyss in their pocket. Withered Fish, the guild leader, really played a good hand!" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

From the players’ words, Su Ran figured out the causes and events clearly. At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Dai Xuan—this poor guy had been trapped in the Ghost Realm unable to leave, not to mention being completely wiped out twice. And now, to top it off, his base was lost. Such an unlucky fellow should go to a temple and ask for a charm to change his luck!

One had to say that Withered Fish’s planning had trapped too many players. Once the storm in the Ghost Realm settled, he would probably bear quite a few curses, with his reputation likely rivaling that of Dancing Demons.

Su Ran looked at the World Channel for a while but didn’t find any nutritious topics. Aside from guild slander and personal attacks, even the excitement of the New Year event couldn’t stand out. With that, Su Ran quietly closed the World Channel and set off peacefully.

What sort of significant actions the Skeleton Saint would take after escaping the seal of the Demon Tower, Su Ran was all anticipation.
