Chapter 1678 1678: That’s the Quan Zhen Sect

Originally, Sanguine Thousand Miles thought that with the smart chips on the six of them, dealing with the relatively small Quan Zhen Sect would be more than sufficient. However, when they discovered that Wang Yu possessed technology far beyond theirs, they realized that the reason Quan Zhen Sect could thrive in Twilight City was due to certain factors.

At this moment, Sanguine Thousand Miles couldn't even handle Wang Yu alone, let alone deal with the Quan Zhen Sect.

Thus, after being defeated by Wang Yu, Sanguine Thousand Miles and his group immediately considered rallying other players from the Sanguine Alliance to confront the Quan Zhen Sect.

After all, there's strength in numbers, a timeless truth in this world dominated by cold weapons.

Sanguine Thousand Miles had thought about this before, but the players in the Sanguine Alliance were not receptive. As soon as they heard about actively attacking the Quan Zhen Sect, not only did the lower-ranked players threaten to leave the guild, but even the core veteran players opposed it.

As an incoming president, Sanguine Thousand Miles currently had no authority, and naturally couldn't command the group of fools in the Sanguine Alliance.

However, when the Quan Zhen Sect actively declared war on the Sanguine Alliance, it was a different story...

Everyone plays games for enjoyment; as long as there's peace, that's fine, but they definitely didn't want trouble.

In reality, if someone was bullied, they would fight back; in the game, if someone declared war on them and they didn't respond, wouldn't that make them look cowardly? If that got out, they might not even be able to hold their heads up high.

Anyone with a shred of courage wouldn't allow such a thing to happen to them.

The Quan Zhen Sect declaring war on the Sanguine Alliance at this critical moment was akin to delivering a feast right to their doorstep.

...

It should be noted that while the Quan Zhen Sect wasn't large, its subsidiaries were unmatched by any other guild.

Not to mention their guild headquarters, just in the main cities, they had three, including Twilight City, one of which, Xiematai City, was the largest main city on Yingzhou Island, boasting the largest mining area.

The reason Sanguine Thousand Miles wanted to go against the Quan Zhen Sect was that he felt a small guild like the Quan Zhen Sect didn't deserve to have so many resources.

Now that the Quan Zhen Sect had taken the initiative to present themselves, and given their weak opponent and high stakes, how could they not respond to the challenge? If things went well, those two blacksmiths from the Quan Zhen Sect might even join the Sanguine Alliance after becoming homeless.

After all, good birds choose good trees to roost in.

With this thought in mind, Sanguine Thousand Miles didn't hesitate and chose to confront them directly.

At that moment, an announcement echoed across the skies of Twilight City.

<The Quan Zhen Sect has declared a deathmatch war against the Sanguine Alliance. Sanguine Alliance President Sanguine Thousand Miles has chosen to engage. The course of history is intertwined with war; who will win or lose in this battle? Let's wait and see.>

The system announcement repeated three times, resonating throughout the universe, and the players in Twilight City displayed expressions of disbelief upon seeing the announcement.

"Wow! Isn't the Sanguine Alliance and the Quan Zhen Sect like two sides of the same coin? What the hell is going on?"

Most players were filled with questions.

It was clear to all players in Twilight City that there was some relationship between the Quan Zhen Sect and the Sanguine Alliance.

Although the two guilds had clashed once, it ended with the Sanguine Alliance backing down. After that, the two guilds had been somewhat ambiguous with each other, and they even became brother guilds.

Just recently, these two guilds had teamed up to take down the Skyward Lamina, so why suddenly were they at odds with each other, and in such an extreme manner as a deathmatch?

Deathmatch? Isn't that something only small guilds without a guild headquarters use to show off? Do larger guilds with so many resources also engage in this? Have they lost their minds?

"You guys don't get it, do you? Have you ever read about the Three Kingdoms? Two tigers cannot exist on the same mountain. The weakest Skyward Lamina has already been eliminated; it was only a matter of time before the Quan Zhen Sect and the Sanguine Alliance fought."

Conspiracy theorist players began to boast about their imagined Three Kingdoms battle.

Meanwhile, some observant players noticed a detail: "Huh? Isn't the Sanguine Alliance's president Sanguine Warflag? When did he change?"

"Changed? Huh? How did this guy replace him?"

Prompted by the observant players, others also noticed in the system announcement that the president of the Sanguine Alliance had turned into a relatively unfamiliar person.

Such changes in leadership weren't uncommon, and when they saw the president of the Sanguine Alliance had become Sanguine Thousand Miles, players could pretty much guess the underlying issues between the Quan Zhen Sect and the Sanguine Alliance.

It was nothing more than the peace-loving Sanguine Warflag being forcibly removed as president and replaced by the warlike Sanguine Thousand Miles...

Realizing this, everyone's thoughts quickly shifted.

"Who do you think will win between these two guilds?" In games, fighting and brawling were common occurrences, and people weren't curious about the reasons; they were interested in guessing the outcome.

"Is that even a question? It's definitely the Sanguine Alliance! They have tens of thousands of members", a new player answered without hesitation.

There's no denying that the Quan Zhen Sect was very strong, but they only had a little over ten members. With such a disparity, no matter how strong the Quan Zhen Sect was, what use would it be? In the face of absolute strength, all tricks were merely flashy, and who would win or lose was undoubtedly clear.

"Are you sure? That's the Quan Zhen Sect!!"

Seeing the new player so certain, the old players of Twilight City couldn't help but scoff, their minds involuntarily conjuring images of the fierce and terrifying members of the Quan Zhen Sect, particularly the tall Pugilist standing out from the crowd.

If it were any other small guild challenging the Sanguine Alliance, everyone would undoubtedly agree with the new player and firmly believe the Sanguine Alliance would win.

However, since the opponent was the Quan Zhen Sect, everything had to be considered carefully.

Years ago, when Twilight City was besieged by tens of thousands, it was the Quan Zhen Sect that turned the tide, repelling the attacking guilds during a critical moment. The situation back then was no different from now.

Twilight City had also faced assaults from hundreds of guilds back then, yet it was the Quan Zhen Sect that heroically raised the flag at a crucial time, not only defeating all the invaders but also liberating Twilight City, turning it into a neutral faction's main city.

Such achievements are impossible for any major guild to replicate.

How could such a guild be viewed through the lens of ordinary people? Especially with the unpredictable presence of Iron Bull, the lord of Twilight City; since he appeared, he was destined for an extraordinary gaming career.

For Wang Yu, fighting dozens was just a daily routine; even key members of large guilds like the Sanguine Alliance were killed by him to the point they were afraid to log in and ultimately conceded defeat.

It can be said that as long as Wang Yu was around, no one could guarantee that their life was safe...

The game has been live for almost a year, and all those who were dissatisfied in Twilight City had been subdued. Deep down, they all bore an indelible shadow cast by Wang Yu, with many treating this shadow as a form of belief.

Because of this, in the hearts of all the old players in Twilight City, as long as Wang Yu was there, the Quan Zhen Sect would always be the strongest guild in Twilight City; how could they possibly lose?
