It was undeniable that Qin Ruo’s level of prediction was outstanding, while in terms of strategy, he always managed to surprise everyone, including Majestic Hero.

Above Moonrise City’s walls, although the strategy of failing the Hall of the Exalted’s plan for exploration would possibly make the Hall of the Exalted a formidable enemy of the Fallen Angels, if they were successful, it would actually trap the Hall of the Exalted in an extremely awkward and dangerous situation…

Everyone, including Majestic Hero, did not know that if the exploration plan failed, the Demigod Champions from Camp Kennedy would immediately escape, leaving the camp behind!

The moment the Fallen Angels managed to retreat from the battlefield, all the members of the Hall of the Exalted who had been killed by the Undead Horde would respawn elsewhere instead of the spot they died in…

All of them would be sent to the other camps in the Underworld because the number of dead people was huge.

After they were dispersed, they would be forced to find and destroy nearby gathering grounds of the Undead, as that was the only way for them to get back to the Mythical Continent.

To achieve that in a strange continent within one or two days, success was not guaranteed because the number of people to be sent back to the Mythical Continent was too huge.

Qin Ruo had thought of it all…

In the next few days, the Hall of the Exalted would be trapped in the Underworld. They would only care about themselves and would not have the extra energy as well as time to take revenge on the Fallen Angels.

And…

They had dealt with Netherclaw, forming an alliance, so any movement from Hall of the Exalted would mean a declaration of war against the top five Clans!

Well, it could be said that Qin Ruo was already being nice by not causing them more trouble…

Still…

Would Qin Ruo give the Hall of the Exalted a chance to rest and reset the things?

It was either go big or go home, and the enemy should not be given any chance to strike back.

Qin Ruo relayed all of this to the Three Great League Masters above the city wall of Moonrise City. Right then, even Majestic Hero was convinced by Qin Ruo… and everyone agreed to organize a comprehensive pursuit after they toppled the league of Hall of the Exalted, to hunt down the remaining troops of the Hall of the Exalted who were stranded in the Underworld. They were to be killed without mercy!

Twenty-five of the Clans…

Including some of the big Clans who had been harboring a grudge against the Hall of the Exalted… The power would be incredible and not to be underestimated if they come together. To express in a more exaggerated way, the Hall of the Exalted actually were hunted by an alliance formed by almost every player in the game!

Qin Ruo even temporarily provided the members of the involved Clans the Warp Portal to facilitate them in accessing the Underworld to connect with each other.

According to Qin Ruo…

This time!

The Hall of the Exalted had to completely collapse.

Those were not willing to surrender would be executed on the spot since the condition of supplies in all the camps around the Underworld would be horrible, not to mention the bad connection there.

Every drop in one’s level counted…

Every destruction of a player’s equipment counted.

After listening to Qin Ruo’s detailed plan, Scarlet Bauhinia and Black God nodded at the same time.

“Good, we’ll apply for the League War right now!”

As the duration for such internal purging was unknown, the Honor Points of the Four Great Leagues would decline rapidly if the League War was not declared and the Hall of the Exalted insisted on striking back.

Majestic Hero sighed, and he spoke to Qin Run with a thoughtful look.

“Qin Ruo, I agree that this plan of yours is well-designed… but have you thought of the consequences of this fight since it’ll cause so many players to lose their ranks and equipment. How many enemies will the Fallen Angels make?”

Once he finished, he added, “The members of the Hall of the Exalted are all Tier 5 players. Their strength shouldn’t be underestimated. They’re considered a strong force in our Angel Faction…”

“You’re right…”

Scarlet Bauhinia and Black God nodded at the same time. “Even if they leave the Hall of the Exalted, they’ll probably hold a grudge against us after this battle, and we, especially the Fallen Angels, might become their target in the future.”

After he listened to their opinions, Qin Ruo stared at the three of them and laughed.

“…You guys are overthinking the matter.”

“Is there ever a time that I have less things to worry about?”

“After what happened in the Graveyard of the Gods, I haven’t felt any peace since then… but still we’ve managed to get over it, right?

“And from my perspective, gaming is actually the same as living… Humans only strive for improvement when they face challenges, or else they eventually become lazy if they stay in their comfort zone for too long.”

“Plus, they fell before me so easily, such rookies. I’m even afraid that they won’t pose enough of a challenge for me.”

Once they heard that, the three men looked at each other in dismay!

***

Thirty minutes after the failure of the exploration plan…

The Hall of the Exalted received twenty notifications for the League War from twenty different Clans, including the Fallen Angels, Hall of Heroes, Scarlet Dynasty, as well as Black Jail Clan!

They even received notifications from other Clans as well!

From that moment on, a whole bunch of players entered the Buried City, and they infiltrated all corners of the Underworld through the Tower of Hades…

Two hours later…

The war started all around the Underworld.

The team fight involved thousands of players from both sides, and the situation eventually turned south for the Hall of the Exalted. Some players from the Hall of the Exalted were even chased by more than ten of their enemies at once, as though they were street mice in the Underworld…

Meanwhile, those players who were fortunate enough to stay in the Mythical Continent fared slightly better. At least there were a few cities for them to fly to, and they were able to escape immediately using Return Scrolls the moment they encountered any of their enemies. Some of them simply hid in the safe zone while they drank or shopped.

However, in the League Channel, it was clear that those who stayed anywhere in the Underworld were unlucky…

The Underworld itself was already a very dangerous area!

Players from the Demon Faction could be seen in most of the camps.

It was crucial to stay cautious and careful at all times when accessing the place, and at the moment, members of the Hall of the Exalted had to face the threat of several dozen Clans. The situation would be extremely harsh for them regardless of their numbers because their numbers would definitely not be as large as that of the dozens of Clans.

Right then, the Hall of the Exalted players basically escaped in full force with no hesitation as soon as they sensed the presence of another player. Some of them, however, simply hid in the camp.

***

In a small inconspicuous camp, more than a hundred Hall of the Exalted members gathered around their Field Commanders, standing or sitting with a downcast look. Most of the members seemed to be in a wretched condition, as they had suffered loss of equipment.

Most of them had either lost their equipment during the battle in Camp Kennedy or had them destroyed during the top five Clans’ annihilation, which happened not too long ago.

A few of the players were depressed, and they went offline. All of the online players were gathered there, and they tried to generate ideas on how to escape their current situation.

“If the situation keeps on going on this way, things won’t turn out well!”

“How about gathering all of our people through the Summoner?! Or else, our number will keep decreasing !” a Berserker who seemed to be of high ranking suggested to one of the Field Commanders near him.

The latter glanced at the players from the top five Clans who were sitting next to the NPC emotionlessly.

“Gather people? Huh… such a stupid idea. Is that helpful? Do you think that the top five Clans don’t have any Summoner? Or do you wish to alert the Fallen Angels so that they can hunt us down another time and wipe us out after we’ve gathered our people?”

The Berserker went silent immediately…

Indeed…

Those from the top five Clans were standing guard right outside. There were definitely a few Summoners among them, and the moment they summoned their people, their enemies would not sit still and would definitely do something.

Considering their current situation, even a troop of their previous victim, Netherspirit’s Claw would be able to defeat them, what more the Fallen Angels.

For a player who had lost one of his equipment, if his strength level dropped below Tier 5, and his combat power was drastically weakened, it would be useless no matter how big his team was.

“Where is the League Master?”

“Why hasn’t he said a word until now?!”

That question from a member made the Field Commanders feel awkward…

Most of the Field Commanders were from the Prinz Clan, and some of them had sophisticated equipment.

They certainly understood Big Bruvver’s current condition.

After he was murdered in Camp Kennedy, Big Bruvver was the first one to be abused by the Fallen Angels in another camp. Big Bruvver was so easily assassinated by such an undistinguished Bandit, and he even lost one of his equipment as well.

Should they spread such a disgraceful incident to their comrades?

Or, should they tell their comrades that their League Master was mad at the moment as he had been defeated by the enemy three times in a row, when he tried to fight them to acquire the legendary equipment worth more than sixty million gold, and to earn the twenty billion gold for the exploration plan? Not only that, he even lost two of his equipment during the fights.

They could confirm that…

If they spread the news, more and more of their members would certainly quit from the Hall of the Exalted, which consisted of approximately forty-seven thousand plus members at the moment. The situation would be similar to the spread of a plague.

***

“Twenty billion gold gone, just like that?”

In the main channel of the Hall of the Exalted Clan, a sarcastic voice rang with a tone of disbelief.

Although they were all rich guys, still the fee was collected and shared by all members…

However, if they took into consideration the equipment as well as the fee collected this time, everyone had contributed at least a few million RMB…

For the first time…

The collapse of Prinz had caused a huge amount of loss to a lot of the players.

Now, the Hall of the Exalted had to face the risk of collapse again as they had provoked the top five Clans to attack them simultaneously…

The more serious thing was, they had given every one of the new recruits an amount of gold to spend… Along with the twenty billion gold, the amount of gold they lost in total was very huge.

Although they were all rich, they were not stupid and squanderers as well.

The initial investment was simply to gain authority over Angel Faction and the territory in the future, as well as profit!

However…

The future of the Hall of the Exalted was so dim ever since the failure of the exploration plan, and the frustrations they had been encountering…

Especially their current situation.

Most were trapped in the Underworld and nothing could be done. That was the most frustrating and desperate thing!

“As I’ve told you guys before, never offend the people from the top five Clans because there’s no benefit in provoking them. And you guys turned a deaf ear to it… Are you happy now? Aw! Are we going to face the same ending as the Prinz Clan, destroyed by the enemy from all directions right after we’ve built the clan?” a Terramancer roared.

“Don’t say that in such a situation, okay?”

“What do you expect me to say after I’ve invested seventy million-plus, and lost half of it? All that’s left is a few equipment that can’t even help me defeat an ordinary player!”

“The people from the top five Clans won’t waste too much time on us. As long as we survive through today, once we get over this tragedy, it won’t take too much effort for us to regain everything we’ve lost, right?”

“It’s easier said than done! Seventy million… I secretly asked my mother for it, and my father even warned me that he would break my legs if I took money from the company ever again!”

“Also! Which of you can guarantee that this encirclement of the troop comprised of the top five clans will only last for one day? Aw! What if we encounter the exact same situation as the Prinz Clan?”

The channel fell silent in an instant right after everyone heard what had been said!
