Bo Mu was still quite measured.

"Who are you?"

Bo Mu, dressed in a jet-black robe, looked at Lin Qianxuan, feeling somewhat displeased.

The main issue was that Lin Qianxuan's face wasn't inferior to his, and he even seemed more radiant, which made him a bit unhappy.

Lin Qianxuan had no idea that Bo Mu was jealous of his good looks; he simply spoke according to the game's storyline: "I have an opportunity for you to avenge your sect and save the populace. Do you want it?"

"You want to invite me to join the Rebel Army?" Bo Mu sneered and said, "You can't even get past Purple Bamboo Mountain, and you talk about saving the world... Do you even know what the outside world is like now..."

"I will teach you the 'Supreme Sword Technique.'"

Before Bo Mu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Qianxuan.

This sword technique is from the Carefree Pavilion, a top-notch Divine Martial skill, not inferior to the Asura Sword Technique, and its effects are particularly impressive. However, it was lost among Bo Mu's teacher's generation, and Lin Qianxuan only learned of it through Emperor Feng.

Bo Mu had the [Carefree] flute sword in hand, but although he had the Sound Control Art, he lacked the technique to wield the sword.

The 'Supreme Sword Technique' was just right to fill his gap.

"There's no way you can succeed," Bo Mu said after a moment of silence.

"Even if you don't go, it doesn't matter. I can still teach you the 'Supreme Sword Technique,'" Lin Qianxuan said with a look of disappointment.

Under Lin Qianxuan's gaze, Bo Mu felt a little uncomfortable. They could be equals in appearance, but in conviction, he could not afford to lose any ground.

"I'll go. Isn't it just a few muddled spirits? I can't possibly be afraid of a bunch of muddled beasts?" Bo Mu said with feigned disdain.

"Tomorrow at noon, come to the Gao Mansion. I'll introduce you to join the Rebel Army and teach you the 'Supreme Sword Technique,'" Lin Qianxuan nodded and said.

"You guys? Besides me, is there someone else?" Bo Mu asked, puzzled.

"Besides you, there's Guan Hao, the principal disciple of Divine Wood Valley, Zhang Yan, the junior sister of the Red Fire Sect, Li Xin, the elder of the Jade Flow Sect..."

Lin Qianxuan rattled off more than a dozen names in one breath.

These were the people he planned to recruit later.

As one of the last surviving cities, Zhang City actually hid quite a few experts.

After all, being able to survive in this situation was testament enough to their skills.

So the rest were basically elites among the elites from those major sects back then.

Upon hearing these names, Bo Mu's expression changed slightly, not expecting that Lin Qianxuan could persuade so many people to join the Rebel Army. Quite a few, whom he knew, had already given up, yet Lin Qianxuan managed to rally them?

He was just about to ask how Lin Qianxuan had convinced them when he realized that Lin Qianxuan had already left.

Bo Mu raised an eyebrow slightly, picked up his flute sword, and began to play a tune.

This time, the music was no longer about sorrow and longing but carried a hint of heroism.

He didn't have much confidence that they could put an end to the calamity with the Rebel Army, but it didn't matter. It was just a matter of dying a couple of months earlier, after all.

He was also tired of hiding. If not for his master's instruction to pass on the legacy, he would have long set out alone for Kyoto.

Given the current situation, the murky energy would eventually engulf the entire world. To whom could he pass on the legacy?

It might be better to take a gamble; perhaps a miracle might happen?

...

Lin Qianxuan proceeded along his journey, quickly conversing with all the individuals worth recruiting within the game.

A total of seventeen people—not many, but all were elites.

Bo Mu and Guan Hao were top geniuses, roughly on par with Gongsun Ying when she wasn't bursting with energy, and the rest were Team Captain Level experts; they weren't far off.

With them joining, even without Lin Qianxuan, they could successfully eliminate Prince Zi Zhu and even deal with War God Armor Body and Xiong De.

So, when Lin Qianxuan played the game back then, if he wanted to beat the game successfully, there wasn't just one option.

Besides borrowing influence from the Otherworld Bureau, he could also traverse Zhang City's side quests, and perhaps even recruit members of the Four Great Families overseas, though that would require some effort.

With their help, completing the mission wouldn't be a problem.

After spending a good part of the day getting these people on board, Lin Qianxuan returned to the Gao Mansion.

Gongsun Ying was still practicing, while Gongsun Yue was manufacturing new Divine Machine Arrows in the workshop, handling logistics.

Lin Qianxuan didn't intend to disturb them but simply returned quietly to his room and began to silently cultivate the 'Immortal Divine Body Skill.'

Under his control, Divine Energy flowed throughout his body. The cells rapidly absorbed the divine energy, restructuring themselves and becoming more resilient.

The cultivation speed wasn't slow, but compared to the game character that acquired the [Supreme Martial Arts] title and its fate sound in the game, it was painstakingly slow.

Not to mention, combined with the Emperor Sword and [Chaotic Heaven] effects, it was like training for years or even decades in a single day.

The next day arrived.

By nine o'clock in the morning, the seventeen experts had packed up and arrived at the Gao Mansion.

Led by Guan Hao and Bo Mu, they all waited outside the Gao Mansion.

When informed about it, Gongsun Ying was a bit surprised, uncertain why people would come to join the Rebel Army at this time.

It wasn't until Guan Hao and the others said it was Lin Qianxuan who recommended them that her curiosity intensified.

Lin Qianxuan had only been around for a few days—how could he have such capabilities?

And how did he become so familiar with Zhang City, able to easily gather these hidden experts?

Gongsun Ying immediately sent Gongsun Yue to inform Lin Qianxuan.

At this time, Lin Qianxuan was still in his room, cultivating the 'Immortal Divine Body Skill' and simultaneously running the 'Qilin Body Tempering Skill.' The two complemented each other: one repaired and rebuilt, while the other rapidly destroyed to unleash potential, successfully achieving more than the sum of their parts.

"Sir? Are you inside?" Gongsun Yue knocked on the door and asked.

"I'm here."

Lin Qianxuan checked the time and instantly understood that Guan Hao and the others had arrived, so he rose and opened the door.

"Sir, some people arrived outside the mansion, saying you recommended them to join the Rebel Army..." Gongsun Yue inquired.

"Did they come so quickly? I went out to enjoy myself yesterday and met these people with impressive skills. Previously, I heard you mention a shortage of people in the Rebel Army, so I invited them over. Miss Yue, is there an issue?" Lin Qianxuan feigned puzzlement.

"No, not really. It's just that they wish to see you. My sister asked me to call you over," Gongsun Yue responded.

She was filled with many doubts at that moment. Lin Qianxuan's casual remark held an exaggerated amount of information.

But it wasn't the right time for Lin Qianxuan to clarify things for her, so she refrained from asking further questions.

"I see? Then I'll head over there. Where is Miss Ying?" Lin Qianxuan asked.

"In the main hall," Gongsun Yue replied.

Lin Qianxuan nodded and quickly made his way to the main hall.

When they saw Lin Qianxuan, they all turned their heads.

"It's good to see you all," Lin Qianxuan greeted.

"We have no issue joining the Rebel Army, but don't forget what you promised us," Bo Mu said, exchanging glances with Guan Hao.

"I certainly won't break my promise," Lin Qianxuan reassured.

"That's great." Gongsun Ying turned to Lin Qianxuan. "Sir, how did you convince Mr. Guan Hao and the others to join?"

"That's a secret." Lin Qianxuan smiled faintly.

Some things are hard to explain, so Lin Qianxuan chose to maintain an air of mystery, just as he did in the game, leaving her to guess.

"I'm glad you all are willing to join," Gongsun Ying nodded repeatedly.

The aura fluctuations emanating from these experts indicated they were the best among the best. The Rebel Army would be more than happy to have them, and Gongsun Ying had no reason to refuse.

"It was great seeing you all again," Lin Qianxuan said, a slight smile on his face.

"We have no issue joining the Rebel Army, but don't forget what you promised us," Guan Hao also spoke up.

"I won't renege on my word," Lin Qianxuan assured them.

"Naturally, I would be delighted to have you all join us..." replied Gongsun Ying with a continuous nod.

At this moment, a formless connection was established, and a rune resembling a Sound Talisman gathered through the link, entering Lin Qianxuan's body.

Its function was to increase the concentration of Divine Energy in Lin Qianxuan's being by 50%.
