Chapter 1677 1677: Understanding Choices in Life

"How much?"

Upon hearing the words "transfer fee", Sanguine Stormbringer's heart felt slightly at ease.

After all, the person on the other side of the transaction was the leader of the Quan Zhen Sect, known for his malevolence. If he had really said he wanted nothing, Sanguine Stormbringer would have certainly worried that he had ulterior motives.

"One million gold coins!" Fearless said, "Not a single copper less."

"Alright! It's settled then!" Upon receiving Fearless's message, Sanguine Stormbringer responded very readily.

One million gold coins is not a small amount at any time, even for a large guild like the Sanguine Alliance with tens of thousands of members, it would mean several dozen gold coins per person.

Although Sanguine Stormbringer felt pain at the thought of a mere transfer fee costing one million gold coins, he understood better than anyone that Fearless's high price indicated his intentions were not against the Sanguine Alliance, but rather that he genuinely wanted the money.

After all, when compared to the entire Sanguine Alliance, one million gold coins didn't seem significant.

"Hehe!"

Upon receiving Sanguine Stormbringer's message, Fearless chuckled, tossed the roasted meat in his hand to the side to Vainglory, and then stood up.

Fearless was the only one in the Quan Zhen Sect who could cook; everyone enjoyed drinking and eating around the campfire. When they saw the chef suddenly abandon his work, they were all stunned and asked, "What are you doing? Finish roasting that piece of meat!"

"Roasting what!"

Fearless kicked the campfire apart and said with a smirk, "Do you really want to stay here for a lifetime? We should head out."

"Head out? Can Uncle Bull handle Sanguine Thousand Miles and the others by himself?" Vainglory asked, somewhat surprised.

"Huh?"

Hearing Vainglory say this, the others also showed expressions of astonishment.

No one understood how capable Wang Yu was better than the people from the Quan Zhen Sect. They knew exactly who Sanguine Thousand Miles was; even Wang Yu couldn't deal with them easily.

"Of course he can handle it!" Fearless replied lightly. "But Uncle Bull's methods can only address the symptoms, not the root cause. That's something we need to take care of."

After saying this, Fearless roughly explained the transaction between him and Sanguine Stormbringer to the other members of the Quan Zhen Sect.

"Damn!"

After Fearless finished speaking, everyone from the Quan Zhen Sect stared blankly at him, their hearts filled with shock. This old dog Fearless was brutally decisive!

Indeed, Fearless was right; Wang Yu was a relatively upright person and conducted himself accordingly. The ones who offended Wang Yu this time were Sanguine Thousand Miles and his group. Given Wang Yu's character, as long as the other members of the Sanguine Alliance did not intervene, he would not retaliate against them.

Wang Yu's method of revenge was simply to hunt them down until Sanguine Thousand Miles surrendered.

However, Sanguine Thousand Miles was the boss of the Sanguine Alliance. Even though he currently had no prestige within the guild and couldn't command the players, a guild with thirty thousand members was undeniably a formidable force in the game.

Sanguine Thousand Miles was different from Sanguine Warflag and Sanguine Stormbringer; this guy was working for himself and held such a powerful weapon as the Sanguine Alliance. How could he forever submit to a small guild like the Quan Zhen Sect?

Thus, as long as the Sanguine Alliance remained under Sanguine Thousand Miles's control, they posed a threat to the Quan Zhen Sect.

No matter how many times Wang Yu killed Sanguine Thousand Miles, it would only temporarily silence him. The only way to completely stop Sanguine Thousand Miles was to take the Sanguine Alliance away from him.

Now that Sanguine Thousand Miles had parachuted into the Sanguine Alliance, lacking any prestige within the guild and being suspicious of the elders, the upper echelon of the Sanguine Alliance was fracturing. This was undoubtedly the best opportunity to remove Sanguine Thousand Miles.

If they waited until Sanguine Thousand Miles settled into the Sanguine Alliance and secured his position, it would be much more difficult to remove him.

However, there were still some disagreements among the group regarding Fearless's strategy.

"Why transfer the Sanguine Alliance to Sanguine Stormbringer? Wouldn't it be better if we took it for ourselves?" After thinking for a moment, Ming Du rolled his eyes and said, "Since it's a threat, why not keep the Sanguine Alliance in our own hands?"

"What I mean by threat isn't the Sanguine Alliance, but the tens of thousands of players in the Sanguine Alliance!" Fearless waved his hand and said, "The Sanguine Alliance has so many territories, and the main city is right there. How can our small Quan Zhen Sect, with so few people, swallow the territory of the Sanguine Alliance? You're Li Ming Du, not Li Yun Long. Do you really think you could take Taiyuan with just a brigade?"

At this point, Fearless paused and added, "It's fine to be well-fed, but don't be greedy. Do you understand this principle?"

Those with great wisdom understand the importance of controlling their desires.

Although Fearless was greedy, he knew when to make compromises. The reason the Quan Zhen Sect hadn't been destroyed yet was precisely because Fearless knew when to let go instead of stuffing everything into his own pockets.

The Quan Zhen Sect was ultimately a small guild and didn't have the energy or manpower to control so much territory. Excessive greed could easily lead to collapse, like the example of Peerless Heaven.

Moreover, for now, it was clear that Sanguine Warflag and Sanguine Stormbringer wouldn't offend the Quan Zhen Sect. As long as the Sanguine Alliance existed, whether in Twilight City or Saga City, a powerful force would guard it. This would create a delicate balance between the two sides.

If the Quan Zhen Sect truly intended to swallow the Sanguine Alliance, it wouldn't just disrupt this balance, but also drive the tens of thousands of players in the Sanguine Alliance to become their opposition. It might seem that the Quan Zhen Sect would benefit from absorbing the Sanguine Alliance, but if they did that, they would not only lose the protection of the Sanguine Alliance but could also invite disaster.

In life, one must always look at the long-term perspective. Why could Fearless become the leader of the Quan Zhen Sect? Was it really because he had no shame? It was because his choices were always correct.

"Alright… fine."

It was unclear whether Ming Du fully understood Fearless's words, but he still nodded in a somewhat confused manner.

The scene changed, and Fearless and his group exited the dungeon, arriving outside the Sanguine Cathedral.

After surveying the surroundings and confirming there was no danger, Fearless immediately used his authority as the guild leader to issue a duel application to Sanguine Thousand Miles.

……

In the office of the Sanguine Alliance, Sanguine Thousand Miles and his group were discussing how to deal with the Quan Zhen Sect when suddenly, Sanguine Thousand Miles received a system notification.

<System Notification: The leader of the Quan Zhen Sect, Fearless, has issued a duel application to your guild. Do you accept? (Friendly reminder: For your physical and mental health and property safety, please carefully consider your choice.)>

"Whoa!"

Seeing the application from Fearless, Sanguine Thousand Miles's eyes widened.

Finding something after a long search, and it came without effort.

Damn it, why did Sanguine Thousand Miles and his group provoke someone like Wang Yu? Wasn't it because they couldn't find anyone from the Quan Zhen Sect?

Now, Sanguine Thousand Miles was troubled by this situation, and unexpectedly, this group of useless people from the Quan Zhen Sect had come directly to their doorstep.
