The temptation of the Deathbringer’s Blade was enough to make many people unable to resist. Although he knew many eyes were watching him, Nie Yan still felt no fear. If anyone wanted to take it, let them come ahead.
He pulled the Deathbringer’s Blade from his backpack, and a streak of crimson light flashed by.
Holding the Deathbringer’s Blade, a chilling coldness seeped through his body.
Nie Yan could sense the powerful soul force contained within the Deathbringer’s Blade. A low, hoarse sound lingered around his ears, as if countless wronged souls were wailing.
This was something many people longed for. Nie Yan estimated that if the Deathbringer’s Blade ended up in someone else’s hands, it would probably cause an even greater uproar and trigger more intense struggles.
Precisely because the Deathbringer’s Blade was in his hands, the dark faction remained so calm.
The name “Kuangzei Nieren” alone was enough to make most people fear and retreat.
Finding the treasure of the Lich King, he needed to find Tellode as soon as possible, otherwise troubles would continue.
From the message received from Guo Huai, Nie Yan learned that the half-demon Angud had moved out again. Nearly twenty minutes after the half-demon’s movement, Nie Yan used a point-to-point teleportation and vanished from the spot.
With the point-to-point teleportation, Nie Yan could easily outwit the half-demon Angud, making it impossible for him to track Nie Yan.
Time was short. Arriving on a wasteland, Nie Yan took out the treasure map of the Lich King Insol from his backpack. The map indicated the treasure was in the southeast.
Standing on high ground, Nie Yan looked toward the southeast and saw a magnificent city standing in the center of the distant plains.
This was a city of the Demon-blooded Tribe, called Medment, the second largest city of the Demon-blooded Tribe. Although it was far away, he could vaguely see tall buildings inside the city. The main structures were gray towers, with magical lamps installed at their tops. These lamps resembled shining stars, casting a soft yellow light across the land.
Because of these magical lamps, players with dark vision could see everything clearly, so Medment was clearly visible to Nie Yan.
He compared the map with the terrain, calculating the distance. The treasure map of the Lich King Insol showed that the treasure was within that city.
Nie Yan couldn’t help frowning. If the treasure was inside a city, how was he supposed to retrieve it?
Entering the city was definitely a very dangerous task, let alone searching the city for treasure!
Nonetheless, the treasure of the Lich King Insol was still extremely attractive to Nie Yan, after all, it was something left behind by a legendary figure.
This guy was pretty clever, hiding his items inside a city was much safer than leaving them in the wild.
Nie Yan was considering how to enter Medment when he suddenly noticed something strange about the routes on the map.
The map depicted mountains, rivers, and lava, with the destination Medment marked by a golden chest symbol. However, besides these, on the other side of the map, at the edge of a mountain range, there was also a tombstone symbol.
Under normal circumstances, a treasure map depicting mountains and rivers was understandable, but why mark a grave?
This grave might be suspicious, possibly a clue!
Nie Yan rolled up the treasure map and activated his Swift Step, quickly heading toward his target—the tomb marked on the map.
Nie Yan swiftly passed through one forest and swamp after another.
While Nie Yan was completing tasks underground, Cui Lan Dao Guang and others had also achieved great success within the World Barrier. They had successively defeated more than fifty bosses and obtained many excellent pieces of equipment. As they continued advancing, the bosses they encountered became even stronger.
After their first wipe and progress halt, they entered the public area of the World Barrier, an urban area named Sin City. Originally a prison for criminals guarded by archangels, it was now filled with buildings where players from all guilds could trade, buy, and replenish consumables. However, fighting was unrestricted here, making it a truly chaotic place where players frequently engaged in vendettas, and many NPCs were unfriendly.
Cui Lan Dao Guang’s party entered Sin City and found an empty house to stay in, maintaining full vigilance to avoid attacks.
“We’ll go to the market. You guys stay here and wait for our news,” Cui Lan Dao Guang turned to Knight’s Elegy, saying. They had obtained numerous uniquely shaped golden coins with archangel patterns from many bosses within the World Barrier, collecting about 150 or 160 of them. These coins were useless in the human world but could be exchanged for equipment with NPCs in Sin City, and 150 or 160 could fetch quite a lot of good items.
“Boss Dao Guang, how many people are you taking?”
“Five or six will be enough. We’ll disguise ourselves, get some stuff, and come back,” Cui Lan Dao Guang said. He really wanted to see what Sin City was like, but Sin City was different from other places—it was full of dangers, so they had to be very careful.
After a while, Cui Lan Dao Guang, Sun, Xie Yao, Li Hua Sha, and seven others headed toward the center of Sin City.
On the central avenue of Sin City, five players wearing black cloaks walked along the street.
“Boss Angel, just got the news, the Bullmen Tribe has arrived too. Seven people are heading this way,” a rogue whispered to Ao Yi Tian Shi.
This group was none other than Ao Yi Tian Shi and his companions! They had also coincidentally entered Sin City and had just exchanged some coins for equipment.
“Is Kuangzei Nieren here?”
Even though he was unwilling to admit it, Ao Yi Tian Shi still harbored fear towards Nie Yan in his heart.
“Kuangzei Nieren isn’t here.”
“Then who’s there?”
“Cui Lan Dao Guang, Shui Se Yan Tou, Yao Zi, Sun, Miao Miao, Li Hua Sha, Xiao Rong Bu Wei Wo.”
Ao Yi Tian Shi nodded thoughtfully. He couldn’t help feeling a bit troubled—these people were also a bunch of annoying opponents.
“Boss, shall we take action?”
“Follow my orders! No one acts without permission!”
“Yes!”
In this chaotic Sin City, nothing unusual would be surprising. On both sides of the street, NPCs in colorful ragged clothes looked like tramps. It wasn’t uncommon to see people fighting in the streets. Here, everyone’s temper was especially short-tempered, and a quarrel could easily escalate into a fight.
Nie Yan ran for more than thirty minutes across the wilderness and finally arrived at the foot of a high mountain, with a steep slope ahead.
He checked the treasure map again—it was indeed around here.
Nie Yan began a thorough search, looking for the tomb marked on the map.
