Chapter 164: Account Deletion, Sunk in the River
“Brother Lin Xun.”
“Is the information accurate?”
“Is the Five Poison Sect really planning to attack our Water Stronghold?”
The moment Wangchuan received the carrier pigeon message, he immediately arranged three large ships and sent sixty inner disciples to the Water Stronghold to assist in its defense. At the same time, he logged out and called Lin Xun to ask for details.
For some reason, something felt off.
Yang Feiyue had taken two elders to Heilong County to receive Qingyi Sect’s assets. The Water Stronghold was indeed short-handed. But the Five Poison Sect’s main battlefield was in the mountains, not on the water. If they crossed mountains and rivers to attack the Water Stronghold, were they not afraid of being wiped out in one sweep?
A bad premonition lingered in his heart.
Lin Xun picked up and explained, “The news came from Black Panther Studio.”
“Black Panther Studio? Isn’t that the same group that worked with the Five Poison Sect and Qingyi Sect to kill Instructor Yu?” Wangchuan immediately thought of the two players who had begged for mercy near Liangshui Bridge.
Lin Xun froze.“What? What did you just say?”
Wangchuan hurriedly recounted how, when facing Feng Shaoguang yesterday, he had casually killed two players at martial artist level.
As soon as Lin Xun heard this, his scalp went numb.
“Why did you not say this earlier?”
“There was too much happening yesterday. I meant to tell you, but then Instructor Yu died, the robot blocked the door, and there was Qingfeng Escort Agency’s matter. I forgot!”
“This is bad!”
“This is very likely a rumor deliberately spread by Black Panther Studio.”
Lin Xun’s tone turned grave.
“I have already sent a ship of men to reinforce the Water Stronghold… It is too late now. It is impossible to call them back! I will notify Su Wan and tell her to be on guard against Black Panther Studio.”
“Wangchuan, be careful yourself! Huishui County has already transferred sixty men. Too many have left! The county yamen’s defenses are weak, and Qingfeng Escort Agency’s strength has been severely damaged! If the Five Poison Sect’s target is not Feng Shaoguang, their true target might be the Huishui County dock hall!”
“Me?”
Wangchuan fell silent, his brows tightly knit.
“The Gang Leader is in Heilong County… Heilong County now has experts from the Prefectural Government and forces from the Caobang. With the Gang Leader there, it is actually the safest place. I have no feud with Feng Shaoguang here in Rongcheng County, and the local authorities and native forces here remain intact. They should not come for me…”
“Wangchuan, you must be careful!”
Lin Xun’s analysis sent a chill down Wangchuan’s spine.
Huishui County’s defensive strength had indeed dropped to its lowest point in history, and he had just sent away sixty inner disciples…
Damn it!
The Five Poison Sect’s target really could be Huishui County.
Black Panther Studio might have deliberately spread false information to lure the tiger away from the mountain, pushing Huishui County into even greater danger.
This was open retaliation.
Revenge for the two dead players.
Damn it!
Wangchuan immediately hung up and returned to the game.
The first thing he did after logging in was summon Wang Yuehui, Bai Yuhui, Hong Kaibao, and all the players from Warring States Game Studio within the inner sect.
“Do you know who in Huishui County belongs to Black Panther Studio?”
Wangchuan’s expression was cold and murderous.
Everyone instantly sensed the gravity of the situation.
“There are a few Black Panther Studio players at the docks.”
“And in the inner sect…”
“There are two in the inner sect.”
“Are they online?”
The moment Wangchuan heard that Black Panther Studio had indeed planted people within his own hall, killing intent flared in his eyes.
“Bring them here. Bring more men. If they resist in any way, leave them barely alive.”
“Yes!”
Wang Yuehui and the others clasped their fists and departed.
Soon, hysterical screams erupted outside.
“What are you doing?!”
“It is the middle of the night. I cannot stand at the dock to get some air?”
“On what grounds are you arresting me?”
Two inner disciples were dragged in, struggling desperately. Behind them followed three young men in outer disciple uniforms, trembling, their faces pale as they shuffled forward.
“Black Panther Studio?”
The moment the five of them saw Wangchuan, their hearts sank.
The two inner disciples who had been shouting earlier turned deathly pale. Their voices lost their confidence. They lowered their heads and dared not meet Wangchuan’s gaze.
“Standing at the dock for air in the middle of the night?”
“You seem very idle.”
Wangchuan stared at the two inner disciples and spoke slowly.
They knew that Wangchuan was the one who had killed two martial artist-level players from Black Panther Studio’s land-clearing team yesterday, directly leading to their deaths. They also knew that this chain of events had caused Instructor Yu’s death and nearly wiped out Qingfeng Escort Agency in Huishui County.
“Tell me your studio’s plan and your true objective. I will spare your lives and let you leave Huishui County…”
When they kept their heads down in silence, Wangchuan’s voice turned indifferent.
“Otherwise…”
“You may prepare for account deletion.”
The two of them jolted in fright.
Account deletion?
People really died!
“Hall Master!”
“We truly did not—”
One of them tried to argue.
Wangchuan turned to Chen Ergou.
“Take him out. Sink him in the river.”
“Yes!”
Chen Ergou did not hesitate. He grabbed the man and strode out.
“No!”
“Do not kill me!”
“I will talk! I will talk! I will talk!”
Chen Ergou glanced back at Wangchuan.
Wangchuan’s eyes were icy.
Chen Ergou continued dragging him out.
“I will talk!”
“Hall Master, do not kill me! The studio arranged for the land-clearing team to enter the city. They are waiting inside for the Five Poison Sect to strike! When the Five Poison Sect attacks the hall, our target is you!”
The man being dragged away completely panicked and shouted out Black Panther Studio’s entire plan.
The temperature in the room seemed to drop to freezing in an instant.
The other four turned as pale as paper. Watching the sunlight-handsome face of Wangchuan darken with shadow, they knew it was over.
Completely over.
Wang Yuehui, Bai Yuhui, Hong Kaibao, and the more than thirty players from Warring States Game Studio all turned pale with fury.
“Bastards!”
“They dare make a move against our studio!”
“Hall Master! We should call for reinforcements from the studio.”
“It is the land-clearing team!”
Wangchuan abruptly rose to his feet. The room fell silent.
Chen Ergou dragged the man back inside. His trousers were soaked; he had wet himself from fear.
Wangchuan said coldly, “Zuo Song, Chen Ping, tie up all five of them and take them to the interrogation room. If any one of them logs out or attempts to send a message, kill all five.”
“…Yes!”
The two accepted the order.
Wangchuan then turned to Chen Ergou.
“Notify all Qingfeng Escort Agency guards to gather at the hall immediately!”
“Captain Zhao Heiniu, wake all inner disciples. Full gear. We have an important mission tonight!”
“Yes!”
Both men knew the urgency and moved at once.
Before long, all forty-six men of Qingfeng Escort Agency were assembled.
All sixty men of the Yulong Gang dock hall were in position as well.
“Physician Liao.”
“How much realgar do we have at the clinic?”
“As much as we need.”
Physician Liao had also been roused.
Ever since the hall had been attacked by a snake tide, the clinic had stocked large quantities of realgar.
“Good.”
“Each man carries a bag of realgar.”
Wangchuan nodded and glanced at the sky.
There was still some time before midnight.
He accepted the Iron-Reinforced Bow and Armor-Piercing Arrows from Chen Ergou and strapped them on.
In front of him, more than one hundred Quasi-Martial Artists were binding their leg wraps. Within moments, swords and sabers were in hand. They were fully armed and ready.
