Chapter 444
Gufeng Town
As Yue Piaoling's voice fell, it was already destined that there would be a bloody storm in the Nanxuan Prefecture Mansion.
The purpose of this action is just like the task name—ghost invitation.
The key to forcing those northern barbarian forces to make a choice is not at all that this post represents life and death, but the most important thing is to create a frightening ghost action.
Then this means that the forces that will not accept posts in the early stage will be bloodbathed, and everyone in the forces will not survive. Even in order to make the ghost walking in the sun more deterrent, the means will be More cruel and cruel.
To kill one side and down ten sides, this is the most effective and direct method that Qin Fan can think of to break the hundreds of years of hidden stake plan of the Northern Man in a short period of time.
This is also an imitation of Fengxiao killing in the dark art of war.
Afterwards, even if people find out that this method is too tyrannical, all his notoriety will be accrued to Ye Fu, or Ye Di in other words.
This is the darkness it is destined to bear.
Those forces on the list have only three choices in the end, either wait for the purge, or accept the name card representing 'birth', betray the Northern Man, or escape!
No matter which option they choose, these hidden dangers can be removed from the Nanxuanzhou Mansion. As for asking for help from the Northern Man, what they are waiting for will be a deadly situation.
For this reason, after Qin Fan thought for a while, he looked at Feng Mo and said:
"Notify Lao Huang and get ready. If you find a strong northern barbarian appearing, if you are not sure of catching him alive, you can kill him on the spot!"
Coupled with the reborn Hei Shisan and the two fake celestial phenomena realm powerhouses, Qin Fan still doesn't believe that Beiman can break the situation with force.
Feng Mo nodded, and his expression was a little eager to try.
After Yue Piaoling asked Qin Fan for a few details, he left.
He can be said to be the most ruthless and decisive person in Fenghua Xueyue, and only he can guarantee the successful completion of this task, so he will become the night commander of Yefu.
Even Feng Mo, who has been following Qin Fan all this time, may feel a little unbearable during this period.
Yue Piaoling has seen the darkness of the human heart since childhood, and thus cast a shadow over her heart, and the pure land of light deep in her heart can accommodate only a few people.
Other than that, he doesn't care about anything else.
Even with the blood widow and ghost boy who have been colleagues for many years, if Qin Fan gave an order, he would mercilessly crush his neck immediately.
"Luoxing Xingshuang, returning to Ye Shang, a thousand arrogances seem brilliant, the moon shines in the sky; turning into nothingness, falling into the world of mortals, everything looks like suffering, lonely rain drifts away"
Hearing Qin Fan suddenly read out the title of Yue Piaoling's poem, Feng Mo asked in puzzlement, "My lord?"
"It's nothing." Qin Fan sighed softly, "I just wonder if it's really right to create such a 'moon'."
"My lord!" Feng Mo's tone became serious at this moment, "'Yue' told me that he was always grateful for your presence on that day, and that scene is something he will never forget.
It's not so much that you created such a 'moon', but in fact it's all his own choice.
He is willing to be the moonlight hidden in the darkness, even though its light is full of killings and corpses, for him the brilliance is still white and flawless.
Besides, even if the direction of progress is full of thorns and blood, we will take the lead in paving a clean path for you. "
(See Chapter 130 for some details.)
Qin Fan suddenly laughed a few times and said:
"Hahaha, I'm not going to let you take the blame for me, let's go and drink with me."
Feng Mo nodded, but thinking of Qin Fan's half-empty bottle, his originally stern face showed a moment of confusion.
But Qin Fan, who had just taken a step, suddenly saw a prompt box pop up in front of him.
[After evaluation, the task of "Ghost Greeting Posts" as a hidden reward for the hegemony task is highly compatible with the [Devil King of Confusion], and 100 million origin points are now distributed to authorized persons. 】
'Tsk, how generous. '
Qin Fan's expression was not too surprised. The reason why he came up with this plan was also inspired by the title of "Devil of Confusion".
A forgotten swordsman, a ghost in the sun, no one cares about them, but they all bring death.
The requirement of this mission itself is to use the feature that players can be resurrected to enhance the effect of deterrence, but it is estimated that there are not many players who can really make up their minds to accept this mission.
In fact, Qin Fan stated in the mission notes before that he had to die a few times first, and a dozen or so times was obviously just a consolation. According to his estimation, to really stir up the fame of the ghost worship post, it would probably take [The Demon King of Confusion] to die thirty times Second-rate.
It is also necessary to hand over ten famous cards representing death.
For any player today, thirty deaths are enough to clear all the skills and moves.
Looking at the rewards for this mission, if you can reach the maximum number of times, it will be a big profit, but in addition to the time limit for the opening of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, Qin Fan guesses that it will be within 30 days.
Therefore, it is very difficult to send fifty invitations in 30 days, and it is considered smooth if one can be sent a day, after all, the opponent is not only good at killing the [Demon King of Confusion].
There are many ways to imprison or temporarily stabilize it with words, so as to drag the [Demon King of Confusion].
Qin Fan's minimum requirement is to make the ghost worship post similar to a strange story spread all over Nanxuanzhou Prefecture. As long as this step is completed, it will be considered a success for him.
Immediately, he stopped thinking about these things, and after leaving the Ming Pagoda with Feng Mo, he walked directly to the tavern that sold Wanjinzui.
On the other side, the [Demon Lord of Confusion] who had already bought a ghost mask in the shortest time approached Yue Piaoling.
"Senior, I need to buy some poison, the kind that can be hidden between the teeth and crushed to death.
In the beginning, the poisonous effect should be stronger, and later on, it will be enough to kill a body-hardened martial artist. "
After calming down, the [Demon King of Confusion] quickly discovered the speed-passing method of this task, which does not require greetings, nor does he need to think of any words to convince the other party.
After pointing out his identity as a Northern Barbarian, the other party either accepted the "life" name card, or handed over the "death" name card after he died three times.
All he has to do is race against time, and no one can stop his belief in voluntary death!
And that "Thirteen Swords of Death" is the reward he must win. For this reason, he even decided to face every faction when he first handed in the greeting card, so as to save the time of communication, he would commit suicide first. to deter.
The second time you hand over the greeting card, if the other party still talks nonsense, then continue to commit suicide.
Anyway, through the conversation with Qin Fan just now, he also found that this task is not a target for him to talk about. In this case, in order to ensure the speed, it is worth dying to the white number.
After all, when I have my exclusive magic soldier, I also have the secret book of swordsmanship that I most desire, and I have already done my best in front of Qin Fan, so the loss of experience points is nothing!
At this moment, Yue Piaoling looked at the other party with satisfaction.
"You are very savvy, so let's count the poison as my private sponsor. The current ghost market has enough supply in this regard."
Immediately, Yue Piaoling grabbed [The Demon King of Confusion] and walked towards the poison hut.
South Xuanzhou Mansion, Xuansha Domain, Gufeng Town.
A group of dozens of people was walking through the most prosperous street in the town. Although the doors of the shops on both sides were open, they seemed unpopular, and there were very few pedestrians passing by.
This made several of the players feel guilty.
This is not the first town they passed by, nor is it the first time they have seen such a desolate scene, it is just because they have been in Xuanyang Domain for so long that they are extremely uncomfortable.
Although the population of Xuanyang Territory has been greatly reduced due to the invasion of beast hordes, due to the subsequent implementation of the plan to merge villages into towns and towns into cities.
As a result, there are still a lot of populations in the towns. In addition, after Qin Fan reorganized the order, the safety of the towns was guaranteed, and a large number of tourists came to live or play in Xuanyang because of the ghost market, so almost every The town looked extremely lively.
Originally, the players from the Wangyou Ghost City camp thought this was normal, but now they discovered that only the Xuanyang Domain was like this.
Especially now that the eight city lords are vacant, causing frequent chaos in various domains, so even in broad daylight, people rarely come out to hang out.
"It's nothing to shoot at all!" As [Happy is over], who is used to always turning on the video recording function on weekdays, it is the first time to actively turn off this function.
The depressive atmosphere brought by this small town made her feel a little uncomfortable, and even diluted her joy of getting the No.1 event post of this month a lot.
Speaking of which, in the competition of this activity post, Ms. Happy discovered some tricks.
That ranked second, that is, the post of shooting Xue Wuxia, the popularity of the player is higher than her post, after all, the other party posted it a few days earlier.
But the reason why I was overtaken by myself, the key lies in the influence of the characters and events of the month!
The incident related to Xue Wuxia is the Dao Ghost Alliance. Although the impact of this incident is great, it cannot suppress the demise of Wandu Palace.
In addition, one is the new Daozi, and the other is the master of Qinglong Pavilion. In terms of identity, the latter is slightly better than the former, not to mention that there is a second protagonist in her post, Shui Niesheng.
The advantage of two against one is naturally more obvious.
And the player who won No. 2 can take a fierce shot on Xue Wuxia's body. If some of the shots are placed on Yue Piaoling who is pretending to be Qin Fan, maybe he can get a [-]-[-] split.
Originally, Sister Happy was very happy about this discovery, but seeing so many desolate or chaotic towns along the way made her a little bit uninterested.
Speaking of which, as the first test player, she was assigned to Xuanyang Domain from the very beginning, and it was very close to Taoyuan Village. She was also the first batch of players to join the Wuyou Villa camp.
She can only learn about the outside situation from the forum, but the players on the forum are bragging every day, maybe a few will discuss this aspect, but judging from the difficult situation of the players in the early stage, who the hell cares? How miserable are these npcs.
And when Sister Happy witnessed it with her own eyes, the people carefully hid in their homes, and only rushed out to buy food for a few days when the food stock was insufficient.
For fear of being involved in the battle between various forces, the worried and fearful look on display made Sister Happy feel congested.
"Why is that?"
"Probably because this town has not yet decided a ruler, so this fight is inevitable." It was Mi Xianchong, one of the four elders of the Poison Punishment Alliance, who spoke.
He was not surprised by this scene. According to the news he received, the small town where his forces were located was even more chaotic.
The city lord who was flaunting his power was assassinated by some force, which led to the arrest of people from all over the six gates. As a result, when the moonlight fell, the whole city began to cry for killing.
At dawn, there were corpses all over the place, including officials and soldiers of the city lord's mansion, members of the six sects, and disciples of sects from various forces, all in all a mess.
He is not in a hurry to go back now, he just told his family to guard the gate, and waited for the opponents to consume each other, so that he could reap the benefits.
Of course, this idea is very good, but I don't know if other forces will give it this opportunity.
"Perhaps we can invite one of the forces in this town to join the Drug Punishment Alliance, and then help him rule the town smoothly."
Mi Xianchong rubbed his chin, and suddenly had an idea in his mind, this place is not too far from the small town where he is located, and it will be beneficial to him if he supports a certain force.
Moreover, as one of the four elders of the Drug Punishment Alliance, he has always wanted to shed his name as one of them and become the Great Elder of the Drug Punishment Alliance, and even the only leader.
Then this is indispensable for the support of some forces joining the alliance.
Then he looked seriously at the accompanying players and the masters of several forces who were also in the Xuansha Domain and said:
"I have decided that in order to restore peace to this town as soon as possible, we must end this chaos!"
Now these four elders are also considered disciples. Anyone who speaks must first put himself in a position that occupies the moral high ground, so that any behavior will appear to be famous.
And those masters of power who were ready to mess with Mi Xian nodded repeatedly, and they kept praising him for his righteousness.
As for the players, they don't even have any opinions. When Mi Xian rushed to speak, they received a mission. Now they are still in the state of double experience, and it is impossible for them to let go of the reward that they can easily get.
At this moment, a master of power stood up and said:
"Elder, I know a little about this Gufeng Town. Among them is the Shafeng Gang, which is quite powerful, and its leader, Sha Tongtian, has admired you for a long time, Elder."
"Okay! It's him!"
And the eyes of several players among the players lit up. They had some impression of the name Sha Tongtian, which indicated that the other party was likely to be the body of fate.
Immediately, everyone rushed towards the Sandwind Gang's camp, and as a result, they smelled a pungent smell of blood just a few tens of meters away.
boom--!
After a sudden loud noise, everyone saw two figures rushing out from the third floor of the small central building.
One is short and bald, with no hair on top, eyes full of red silk, and protruding eyeballs. He is the leader of the Shafeng Gang, Sha Tongtian, introduced by the leader of the power just now.
The other was covered in a gray robe, but a pale mask was exposed under the hood.
I saw the masked man raised his arm, bloody gloves protruded from the sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Guyuan enters the stone!"
Immediately, they discovered that an evil black wind wrapped Sha Tongtian, and his lower body began to petrify at a speed visible to the naked eye. This strange scene shocked everyone.
The purpose of this action is just like the task name—ghost invitation.
