"What are those NPCs here for?"

"I have no idea. By the looks of it, they seem to have just finished a fight. Could they be seeking our protection?"

"Don't bother with them; just focus on the Sea Race."

"That Big Turtle looks good. We'll beat it and make soup later!"

"..."

Players were busy as could be, while the people from the Celestial Splendor Sect gathered together, curiously watching what was happening on the Dam in the distance.

The Fifth Elder of the Great Dream Immortal Sect exclaimed, "The Profound Yellow Sect is truly mysterious to possess such means. It's absolutely astonishing."

Upon hearing this, Blood Demoness simply smiled softly.

She brought over some tea through the Teleportation Array and found there were quite a few injured Inside the Profound Yellow Sect, which only slightly surprised her.

When the Fifth Elder of the Great Dream Immortal Sect and his companions had a sip of the Spiritual Tea, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Is this the Spirit Tea of the Profound Yellow Sect? Brewing tea with Spiritual Nectar, have they become this luxurious? Even the people of the Great Dream Immortal Sect wouldn't dare use Spiritual Nectar for brewing tea. How many years of Spiritual Qi accumulation does it take to condense such a cup of Spiritual Nectar?

Everyone looked at the teacups in their hands, each one of them at a loss.

So this is the Profound Yellow Sect? I absolutely love it! If we could drink such Spiritual Tea every day, why would we even bother cultivating? We could achieve breakthroughs just by drinking tea daily, couldn't we?

"I... I've had a breakthrough! I've finally reached the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

"I've broken through too! From now on, I'm a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple as well."

"The Golden Core Realm! I thought I would never reach it in this lifetime, but who knew that just drinking a cup of tea here would lead to a breakthrough!"

"My god, is this the opportunity given to me by the heavens? Could the Profound Yellow Sect be my great chance for Ascension?"

"..."

After drinking the tea, everyone present experienced breakthroughs.

Not just them; even those from the Great Dream Immortal Sect were full of astonishment.

They never thought the Profound Yellow Sect, which had seemed so destitute in their eyes, would possess such amazing things.

Brewing tea with Spiritual Nectar was something not even those powerful factions from the Outside dared to do. It would provoke divine retribution! The Northern Wilderness was already less developed than Other Realms. For the Profound Yellow Sect to use Spiritual Nectar for tea... if people from those Other Realms found out, wouldn't they be utterly flabbergasted and critical? Especially those old fogeys from the Central Domain Haoran Academy. They would probably curse the entire family of the Xuanhuang Sect Leader!

Watching their unsophisticated expressions, Blood Demoness only smiled gently.

How could they know? Inside the Profound Yellow Sect, Spiritual Qi was the least valuable thing, even less appealing to the Players than Spiritual Stones. The Players didn't need Spiritual Qi anyway, since they didn't use it for breaking through Realms. Spiritual Stones were related to Tasks, so they preferred the benefits those brought.

"Blood Young Lady, long time no see. Your Profound Yellow Sect has become quite luxurious," Zhao Qixian couldn't help but remark nostalgically. "I thought I had found my immortal fortune, but it seems I missed out on the true blessing. If I had known it was this good here, I would have come to your place much earlier."

Upon hearing this, the faces of those from the Celestial Splendor Sect flushed red.

What? Does he think our Celestial Splendor Sect is that bad? When you, old man, arrived, you were on your last breath! Not only were you revived, but you also received so many benefits. Now your White Hair has turned to Black Stockings, and you look decades younger. And just because you see how good the Profound Yellow Sect is, you're thinking of switching sides? Pah! You good-for-nothing Old Man! Utterly shameless!

"Elder Zhao is jesting. All this is Xu Nian's doing behind the scenes; I'm just basking in his light."

As Blood Demoness spoke, she took out her Communication Ring and used it to check on the Players' situation.

The Fifth Elder of the Great Dream Immortal Sect had already taken notice of the Profound Yellow Sect's Communication Ring and leaned in curiously.

"This is a fine item! I've never seen a Storage Ring with such functions before," the Fifth Elder said, his eyes fixed on the communication screen. "To be able to talk face-to-face like this is much more powerful than Thousand-mile Sound Transmission."

Blood Demoness smiled without answering. These were all developed by the Profound Yellow Sect Disciples; their minds are certainly full of ingenious ideas.

The Ring she was connected to was Dung Beetle's, and as Everyone looked on curiously, they saw Dung Beetle's smug face come close.

"Hello everyone, I am war reporter Dung Beetle, bringing you the latest battle situation."

Dung Beetle spoke to the Communication Ring, "Behind me, tens of thousands from the Sea Race have gathered, but are we scared? Not at all! This is the final clash for us—either we die, or they die.

"Of course, the final victory will definitely belong to our Profound Yellow Sect. Now, let's hear from some others.

"Everyone, look here. The first to join me are members of the Ao Xiang Squad, brimming with fighting spirit and having played a crucial role in the first wave of the battle.

"Old Dog, say a few words to them."

Steady as an Old Dog looked up at the Non-player Characters on the communication screen and hesitated for Half a Moment before saying, "What should I say?"

"Anything will do; this is the time to just go with the flow."

"Oh, then, Happy New Year in advance?"

"You damn fool! There's no 'New Year' here! Can you even talk? If not, let Output Relies on Shouting speak!"

"It's also my first time speaking to so many people; I really have no experience with this."

Dung Beetle had an expression of helplessness. When it came to fighting, each of them was more ruthless and treacherous than the next. But now? Even speaking is a struggle! Utterly useless!

"COUGH, COUGH. Let's interview the next person!"

Dung Beetle, holding the Communication Ring, walked on and then saw A Bowl of Duck Leg Rice and Favorite Duck Leg Rice, the Duck Leg Rice Couple, sitting together eating a large lobster.

"Husband, let me feed you!"

"Mm, Wife, you eat too!"

Looking at the two of them being so sickeningly sweet, Dung Beetle just moved past them.

"These two are enjoying their private time, so let's not disturb them. On this occasion, I sincerely wish that all lovers in the world eventually become siblings!"

Within Hailong Town, hearing Dung Beetle's malicious blessing through the Communication Ring, many couldn't help but gulp. How detestable! That Daoist Companion couple is just having a meal together, and you curse them so maliciously? Pah!

All the disciples of the Celestial Splendor Sect knew this guy well. A Foundation Establishment Realm disciple, he had been incredibly smug at the Northern Wilderness Conference, drawing resentment from many.

"How is this bastard still alive?"

"It really is true that good people don't live long, while scourges last a thousand years."

"The Profound Yellow Sect had a good thing going, and it was single-handedly ruined by this piece of rat poop."

"Speaking of which, why does your Celestial Splendor Sect hate this guy so much? Did he do something to you all?"

"Fellow Daoist from the Great Dream Immortal Sect, let me give you a Capture Image stone. After you've looked it over, you'll understand why we say this."

"..."

The disciple from the Great Dream Immortal Sect looked at the Capture Image stone with curiosity.

It wasn't long before he suddenly raised his head to look at Dung Beetle in the Communication Ring. This person actually has a Talent that appears Once in Ten Thousand Years? But why is he so... irritating? Yes! Irritating! I've never seen such an irritating person. Relying on his great Talent to hog the testing stone, refusing to leave, and even giving a speech – is that something a human being would do? His shamelessness is off the charts!

Blood Demoness just smiled; she had long grown accustomed to the peculiar nature of the Profound Yellow Sect's many disciples, so she found it no surprise.

"Alright, next up we're interviewing Old Mo from the Lingxiao Hall. It was his single-handed slaying of the Merfolk King in the second wave of fighting that bought us some breathing space."

Dung Beetle's words immediately drew everyone's attention. Old Mo! The disciple who killed the Merfolk King?

The Fifth Elder of the Great Dream Immortal Sect, Sect Leader Sun from the Celestial Splendor Sect, the outer and inner sect Elders of the Celestial Splendor Sect, and other powerful experts all looked over with expressions of doubt and confusion. Is this the kid who supposedly died with the Merfolk King and then came back to life?

"Old Mo, say a few words. There's no movement from the Sea Race yet, so everyone can take a break first."

Watching Dung Beetle move the Communication Ring closer, Old Mo nodded.

Looking at the figures on the communication screen, he then said, "Don't worry, everyone. As long as I, Old Mo, am here, I will ensure everyone's safety! For Queen Morgana!"

"Hehe, what a fine speech."

Dung Beetle's mouth twitched as he asked, "I heard from others that you can't open the Eighth Death Gate of the Eight Gates Escape Armor now, right?"

"Yes, it'll be another month before I can open it again."

While bandaging his hand, Old Mo said, "But I can still open the Seventh Gate of Shock. When the time comes, I'll still have the Power to protect everyone!"

Looking at this hot-blooded young man, Dung Beetle immediately regretted interviewing him. Every single one of them has a screw loose. Can't I find just one or two normal people to interview?

"Okay, next let's interview someone participating in this kind of large-scale battle for the first time."

Seeing Wanwan nearby, Old Mo hurried over and asked, "Wanwan, you say something too. I plan to post this on the forums for everyone to see what we're capable of!"

Post it on the forums? Well, that's not entirely out of the question.

Wanwan, holding her Long Sword, looked at the people on the screen and said, "There's not much to say. We girls have absolute fighting power too. Everyone, just wait and see.

"That should be good, right? If you're so free, go somewhere else. I still have to keep an eye on the Sea Race!"

After speaking, she disdainfully told Dung Beetle to get lost. He's too much of a nuisance!

After two consecutive waves of attacks, the Players were also a bit tired. We absolutely have to go offline and rest after this third wave; not all of us can grind endlessly like that!

"The Sea Race is on the move!" A player keeping watch suddenly shouted.

The other people resting also got up quickly and ran to the edge of the Dam to look.

Dung Beetle said to the screen, "Blood Demoness, the Sea Race is about to attack. I have to join the battle too, so we'll stop chatting. You can contact others to watch."

After finishing, he immediately hung up the communication, put on his Ring, and charged forward.

The people of Hailong Town looked on with awe. Is this the Profound Yellow Sect? Their strongest members are only at the Golden Core Realm, yet they've managed to hold out this long. If this were our Celestial Splendor Sect, we probably would have been annihilated by the Sea Race by now, wouldn't we?

The Fifth Elder of the Great Dream Immortal Sect sighed and said, "This time, the Sea Race numbers over 50,000. I fear the Profound Yellow Sect's mere 1,000-plus members won't be able to hold them back."

"Not necessarily!"

Blood Demoness said with a light laugh, "Just watch from here. I'll connect with Xu Nian through his Communication Ring. He probably won't take action immediately, but we can see through his Ring."

Xu Nian is the Players' Bottom Card now. That Turtle Chancellor is Xu Nian's biggest obstacle. The Players can fight desperately against the others, but the Turtle Chancellor can only be left for Xu Nian to deal with...
