So I guess if you don't join the cult, you'd fight against them, but does Ji still joins them or stay with you?

Ji leaves and joins the cult no matter what, but he can redeem himself during the final bossfight

I followed him to his meeting place.

Hmph, one never goes to the temple for nothing. Seeing that you came all the way here, I believe you wanted something from me. What is it?
auT7uvG.jpg
Hah, as straightforward as ever. Well, then I guess I should be honest with you too. I have to say you are a capable man, Xuanming Zi. You even managed to get Fang Yunhua on board.
auT7uvG.jpg
I don't think the meeting you had with Fang was that simple, was it?
4sKnFu8.jpg
Oh, what do you mean by that?
auT7uvG.jpg
If I am right, Fang is actually your planted agent who infiltrated the Shaolin Temple so he could find out about the key to the Sanctuary!
4sKnFu8.jpg
My, what an over the top imagination you have.
auT7uvG.jpg
You don't need to lie to me. My senior, Zhuo has fallen ill lately and none of those well-known doctors can figure out why.
auT7uvG.jpg
But I know he was poisoned by Fang Yunhua, that cold-blooded kid, hehe. I don't think Zhuo will survive. And the Master's position will most likely belong to Fang very soon.
4sKnFu8.jpg
I guess you're telling me all this for a good reason? Is this about Wudang's leadership?
auT7uvG.jpg
Hmph. Fang is a cunning, dangerous kid and your spy. With all the trust Zhuo puts in him, I'll never have the chance to become Master of the Sect.
auT7uvG.jpg
And now I might even become one of his obstacles in assuming the leadership. With the way things are now, I have to constantly watch my back, or I'm likely to end up just like Zhuo!
4sKnFu8.jpg
Who would've thought a brat could scare you this much? HA HA HA! Zhuang Renjun, you really are an old man!
auT7uvG.jpg
Cut the crap! I helped you a lot back in the day, shouldn't you at least return the favor?
4sKnFu8.jpg
I don't recall anything about us working together.
auT7uvG.jpg
So that's how it's going to be? Don't forget I was the one who told you about Dongfang Xi being the undercover agent that was sent by Wudang Sect!
FUcBqqG.jpg
(Isn't that my father's name?)
4sKnFu8.jpg
Hmmm... maybe you did?
auT7uvG.jpg
Look, you help me get rid of Fang and after I become the Master, we can continue working together happily, just as we used to.
4sKnFu8.jpg
...
auT7uvG.jpg
Also, without my information, do you really think you could have gotten rid of that troublesome couple, Dongfang Xi and Gongxiyao? Compared to Fang Yunhua, I'm a much better partner for you, don't you think?
4sKnFu8.jpg
When you put it that way, it makes a lot of sense.
auT7uvG.jpg
I need your help so I can become the new Master of Wudang. And as soon as you gain control of the Cult of Tianlong, I will be the first one to fight beside you! We will go big this time.
4sKnFu8.jpg
Fine, point taken. I will consider your proposal carefully. You should go back now and wait for news from me. Be careful and don't alert the brat.
auT7uvG.jpg
I'll wait for your good news.

Xuanming Zi only needed a moment to react to his 'partner's turned back.

Of course I remember. If he hadn't gone insane, he'd be our team captain by now.
P0N6giW.png
Yeah, that incident was decades ago but Zhang is still the same to this very day.
uuO5Bqy.jpg
That day must have been horrifying, thank god I wasn't there at that time!
P0N6giW.png
You're right, no one would've thought that Dongfang Xi and his wife were capable of slaughtering hundreds of sect hunters who were chasing them down. Even our assassins were included in the casualty. Were they even human?
uuO5Bqy.jpg
The ones that got killed were elites handpicked by our Lord as well. Only Zhang survived that ordeal. He went insane afterward.
P0N6giW.png
Speaking of that crazy man, do you know where he is now?
uuO5Bqy.jpg
Someone mentioned that they saw him at an abandoned temple before.
P0N6giW.png
Hm. Should we go to pay him a visit? He is still one of us after all.
uuO5Bqy.jpg
Nah, it's pointless because I doubt he'll remember any of us. Don't forget that the Nagaraja forbids anyone from mentioning Dongfang Xi. We should stop this talk.
P0N6giW.png
Right. Let's get back to work.

What did you call me?!
yDezvha.jpg

uuO5Bqy.jpg
Don't kill me please!
FUcBqqG.jpg
Yes! I am Dongfang Xi! Give me back my life!
uuO5Bqy.jpg
Left Guardian! I dare not kill you! I didn't even lift a finger! The Left Guardian couple has always been good to me... cough cough .. I wouldn't dare to be ungrateful!
FUcBqqG.jpg
You saw it. You saw it all, didn't you?!
uuO5Bqy.jpg
Yes! I could never forget that! It was so horrible. Please don't make me recall...
FUcBqqG.jpg
Tell me everything you know! Tell me!
uuO5Bqy.jpg
So many people... they were after you and your wife. You killed many... They are after the Key to the Sanctuary's whereabouts.
uuO5Bqy.jpg
Everyone just went mad like beasts, killing each other... blood! So much blood!
FUcBqqG.jpg
Who were the hunters?! Answer me or I'll kill you!
uuO5Bqy.jpg
Everyone! The Cult, the Central Sects as well - Shaolin, Wudang, Qingcheng, Huashang, the Blades... they all joined the chase. The Allied Sects was lead by the famous Hero of Liaodong - Gu Yunfei.
FUcBqqG.jpg
Gu Yunfei - Yuexuan's father?
FUcBqqG.jpg
Gu Yunfei killed me and my wife?!
uuO5Bqy.jpg
Gu Yunfei killed your wife in one blow... you howled and screamed.
FUcBqqG.jpg
Argh! That bastard!
uuO5Bqy.jpg
And then... Xuanming Zi... Xuanming Zi came and took Yunfei by surprise! Gu Yunfei was mortally wounded and perished so quickly. Xuanming Zi rushed to your side and promised to aid you.
FUcBqqG.jpg
And then?
uuO5Bqy.jpg
You ran forward, picked up the fallen Lady and cried so hard that you didn't even notice Xuanming Zi aiming at your back, killing you! I saw it... I saw it all!
uuO5Bqy.jpg
Please! I am not your killer! Please let me go, Xuanming Zi is the one who killed you!
FUcBqqG.jpg
Xuanming Zi! AHHHHH!

227 - Bitter Resolve
FUcBqqG.jpg
Yuexuan once said his father was slain while hunting villains. Those villains were my parents! His father killed my mother! I will avenge her! Yuexuan, you'll see!
FUcBqqG.jpg
But Xuanming Zi is the biggest bastard of them all. That coward killed my father! My mother's jade pendant... he took it from her corpse while searching for the key to the Sanctuary.
FUcBqqG.jpg
Xuanming Zi... I will kill you. And all the sects in Central China who hunted down my parents. Those men used the guise of justice to hide their lust for power!
EWiKiv7.jpg

6wLQcSQ.jpg

FUcBqqG.jpg
But there is one more person... the Master of Wudang Sect, Zhuo Renqing. He was my father's senior. He must know of my father's mission. I have to interrogate him personally. Just you wait, Zhuo Renqing... perhaps you will become the first blood I draw as tribute!
vZUWIvk.jpg

gXgiQwU.jpg

FUcBqqG.jpg
(It seems he is seriously ill. God's willing, every action has its consequence.) Zhuo Renqing, look at me!
HNmcpMU.jpg
Ah. Y-you are...is that you? Brother Xi? Y-you've finally come to see me?
HNmcpMU.jpg
For all these years, I have wished to see you... every single day. It is all my fault. I wish I had not hesitated at that time. I wish it was me who accepted the undercover mission.
HNmcpMU.jpg
Then maybe.. you would still be alive. I don't blame you, brother, for betraying us. I should have known. The two leaders of the Cult were too dangerous and your heart was too pure. Sending you to the cult was like sinking a blank paper into a pot of black ink. *cough cough*
HNmcpMU.jpg
It was us... who got you killed. I failed you. Am I going to die soon? Are you here for my life?
FUcBqqG.jpg
(It's true... Everything they said. All of it is true!)
HNmcpMU.jpg
Take my life, Xi. I am responsible for everything. Ah, do you hear that? It's the bell for morning exercise. We need to hurry up for the gathering or Master will be angry.
FUcBqqG.jpg
(I'll take your worthless life now, Zhuo Renqing. This is for my parents!)

Just dealing with some personal affairs.
4sKnFu8.jpg
Hm? Alright then. We've got a lot of things to accomplish. Things are shaking up as we speak. Zhuo Renqing is suffering from a serious disease, he's been bedridden for days. And Tianshan Sect is in an uproar because their precious disciple He Qiujuan is missing. Haha! Both of them is the handiwork of Fang Yunhua. This brat is becoming more insidious.
4sKnFu8.jpg
According to my spies report, Fang Yunhua was seen frequently loitering near the abandoned temple in Chengdu and has frequent contact with Tang Guannan, the young master of Tangmen Clan. I believe Zhuo Renqing's disease may be related to Tangmen's poisons.
4sKnFu8.jpg
As for the sweet He Quijuan, I believe Fang has been lusting for her for some time. My spies reporting a woman's voice often comes out from that temple. I'm afraid the poor girl has already been deflowered by Fang Yunhua.
4sKnFu8.jpg
This brat is getting too far ahead of himself, I'm afraid he will turn against us sooner or later. We must control him with the Pellet of Absolute Obedience as soon as possible. Prevention is better than cure, as they say.
4sKnFu8.jpg
Furthermore, I have a meeting with the representative of the Eunuchs at Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. He requires... my assistance in regards to the Beggars' Sect.
4sKnFu8.jpg
After which, the rest of the sects will be dealt with, one at a time. Poisonous Dragon Clan, Baicao, Tangmen, Blades, etc. We need every single one of them subjugated to gain more leverage.
4sKnFu8.jpg
Once done, we'll take charge of these forces, and we'll be powerful enough to revolt against the Nagaraja and seize control of the Cult. Together we'll then wipe out the major sects like Shaolin, Wudang, the Huashan Sect, and the Beggars' Sect. Once victory is ours, we'll dominate the entire martial arts world! Hahahahahaha!
FUcBqqG.jpg
What about Thunder Hall?
4sKnFu8.jpg
They're not important. They've been severely weakened after an attack 20 years ago. They're not worth the trouble.

Qin Hongshang... I guess we won't cross blades. Lucky you.

FUcBqqG.jpg
Since we've already laid down the plan, we need to act fast. If they form alliances, they will be much more difficult to deal with.

I defended this place once from the Cult. Now I arrive as its invader.

I have heard so many things about you. As for your character and deeds, they are not for me to judge.
4sKnFu8.jpg
I presume it's an honor that the famous Mr. Jiang have heard about me?
IftSoQU.jpg
Yes, I've heard of your escapades and of your treacheries. However, it's not up to me to judge. But these two young men from Xiaoyao Valley, they have a bright future ahead of them. It is unfortunate that they made some bad acquaintances and became the Cult's puppets.
IftSoQU.jpg
You two, it's not too late to undo your mistakes. If you really wish for repentance, I promise, I will talk to the other Sects and they'll take you in.
IftSoQU.jpg
I believe that is what your old master must hope for. Master Wuxia Zi is very old, do you have the heart to make him suffer such sadness?
C4gtKAi.jpg
Hmph, there is already Gu Yuexuan in Xiaoyao Valley and that's enough. There's no point talking to someone who follows a different path. I don't care what is right or what is wrong. The only thing that matters is reaching the top and dominating the martial arts world! If you dare to stop me, I'll kill you as well!
IftSoQU.jpg
What a pity.

Jv5ywR0.jpg
There are a lot of things you don't know about me.
AmCu04D.jpg

Jv5ywR0.jpg
A good for nothing is always a good for nothing, always clamoring for attention.
YjIcMVJ.jpg
You dare call me a good for nothing?
Jv5ywR0.jpg
I know that your Bagua Clan is so afraid of us, otherwise why do you cling to Mr. Jiang like a parasite? Do you think Mr. Jiang can protect you?
YjIcMVJ.jpg
What insolence!
uUDJrJf.jpg

4sKnFu8.jpg
Easy. Calm down. We did not come here to fight. Instead I have brought something I want to share. Let's bury the hatchet, shall we?
YjIcMVJ.jpg
No way we will make peace with the Cult!
C4gtKAi.jpg
Shang Zhongren, shut your mouth or I'll cut off your tongue later!
YjIcMVJ.jpg
Try me!
4sKnFu8.jpg
Easy, Ji. Jiang, Master Shang, I've brought some pills which are good for your health. I've made it especially for you. Please take them.
nhZMRQU.jpg
Ha! We'd be lucky if they are not poison!
IftSoQU.jpg
Thank you, but I must decline, Xuanming Zi.
3opN1hA.jpg
What on earth are you planning?
4sKnFu8.jpg
Ah, what a shame. Now that you've declined, I have to take some tough measures to force you to eat them.
YjIcMVJ.jpg
Wishful thinking. Your lives end here!
nhZMRQU.jpg
Hehe, forgive me Mr. Jiang, I might dirty your home with their blood.
IftSoQU.jpg
Since you two have refused to come to your senses, then I'll have to be merciless when I deal with you.
Jv5ywR0.jpg
Come on, Mr. Jiang. If I were you, I'd have us killed the moment we stepped into your mansion. It's a pity that you've made this fatal mistake.

ShiDi Fen is now that type of guy who arrives at your door offering some free pills and beats the shit out of you if you refuse him.
Is there still hope for his soul? Or he will be lost forever to the darkness?

4sKnFu8.jpg
Shang Heming, if your Bagua Clan acts according to my order, I'll promise you the delivery of the antidotes twice a year. But if you dare to do otherwise...
nhZMRQU.jpg
Fine! From now on the Bagua Clan will act in obedience to the orders of the Cult of Tianlong.

Cough! What was that?
Jv5ywR0.jpg
The Pellet of Absolute Obedience made by Xuanming Zi. If you do not take the antidote on time, it would lead to a painful death. So, do we have a deal?
bNPlaZc.jpg
Hmph! I did not expect such ruthlessness from one as young as you. Fine. You win. From now on I'll submit to you.
iw1C2k1.jpg
Dad! How could you do that?
bNPlaZc.jpg
Wei, stop talking. We need to stay out of trouble.
Jv5ywR0.jpg
A wise man submits to circumstances. You made the right decision. From now on Changhong Escorts shall act according to our orders. And Guan Wei, you will serve me.
iw1C2k1.jpg
No!
bNPlaZc.jpg
Go, son.
iw1C2k1.jpg
I'm only doing this because I have to! Don't count on my loyalty!

Only one target left in Luoyang.

Jv5ywR0.jpg
I'm here to bring peace to the martial arts world.
NNRNpNF.jpg
Peace? You freak, what the hell are you saying?
Jv5ywR0.jpg
The fundamental reason why there are so much hatred and grudges in the martial arts world is that because it lacks a leader. Every sect and clan has been fighting for years. So many means used; so many people have died; so many unique styles of martial arts have been lost. Even the Heavenly Sword is degrading generation by generation.
QQsCoiU.jpg
How dare you!
Jv5ywR0.jpg
Am I wrong? Just think of the era of the Nameless One. There were so many great talents like the Five Masters of Central China, Qiao Feng, Murong Fu, the Condor Heroes, the Cult Master Dongfang Bubai. Every single one of them has carved their own legend in the history of martial arts.
Jv5ywR0.jpg
But now, the martial arts world is filled with trash like you. Just take you, Master Ximen, as an example, a hundred years ago, you wouldn't even rank as a third-rate martial artist.
Jv5ywR0.jpg
Once our Cult dominates the whole martial arts world, the first step we will take is to settle the differences between sects and clans; then unify their styles and develop them. With that, we can finally make the martial arts world great again just like a hundred years ago!
4sKnFu8.jpg
Ahahahah! A fine speech, Di Fen!
NNRNpNF.jpg
Enough with your bullshit. Today my father and I will bring you to justice!
Jv5ywR0.jpg
Wrong again. From this day onward, justice belongs to the Cult of Tianlong!
NNRNpNF.jpg
I won't be a jackal of the Cult, like you! You shameless freak!
Jv5ywR0.jpg
What a stubborn man. No more words should be wasted on you.
C4gtKAi.jpg
(Shi Di Fen seems to have changed a lot lately, but his words hold some truth.)
4sKnFu8.jpg
You two are competent enough to deal with the Heavenly Sword Clan. I'll just sit over here and watch. Hahaha!
C4gtKAi.jpg
I can take them on my own! Just watch!
Jv5ywR0.jpg
I never doubted your ability, but now that we are working for the Cult, it's not the right time to show off. Let's do it together and finish it quickly.
C4gtKAi.jpg
Tsch! To each his own then!

NNRNpNF.jpg
What is that! Dad! What on earth have we taken!
QQsCoiU.jpg
It's the most terrible poison in the world. If we don't take the antidote on time, the poisonous insects will break out of the pill...causing extensive damage to its host's organs and release its toxins.
4sKnFu8.jpg
You won't feel anything but excruciating pain for the next 49 days. Oh, I happen to have the antidote.
NNRNpNF.jpg
How despicable of you to use such means! You goddamn bastards!
4sKnFu8.jpg
If your Clan act in obedience to our order, the antidote will be delivered to you on time. If not, a grim fate awaits you.
QQsCoiU.jpg
I've been through so much in the martial arts world... only to get such an end...
4sKnFu8.jpg
Better think it through.
QQsCoiU.jpg
We accept your offer.

Damn it! I hate myself for lacking strength!

Stacking defense is not a bad idea. Getting over 1000 in defense will reduce incoming damage by 60%.

This opener is just way too good not to use. I'm pretty sure in the 'nice goy' route a lot of players would be cursing and swearing when Xuanming Zi pulls this move on them.

Attrition through reflected damage is the biggest bane of fighters without self-heal options. That is why most builds cannot avoid the necessity of having an in-built self heal feature.

The reason I picked Ximen Feng is simple - AOE Blinding that can stack with my blinds. Since each blind roughly means -20% that would make the enemy having to deal with a 50% hit chance when they do a frontal attack.

Come to think of it, I cannot wait to get Jiannan into my party. Two killing momentum fighters in a single group are going to be delicious.

:lol: Such a retarded battle plan. They didn't hurt anyone much this turn.

If the AI fails to shut down Jing Ji, it's an easy win after he mops up all the fodder and spams killing momentum slashes. Total damage inflicted this turn from him alone numbers around 6000-7000.

233 - Into the Shark's Lair

4sKnFu8.jpg
Master Ren, do we have an agreement?
APLxOKA.jpg
It is fate, what else can I say? Xuanming Zi, you win.
4sKnFu8.jpg
Good. Hahaha!
N97WZds.jpg
Why did things turn out to be like this...
Jv5ywR0.jpg
Come with us, Jiannan. The Cult of Tianlong demands your service.
N97WZds.jpg
Ah, the mortal coil. What's the difference between life and death...

Hehe, of course. I promise, as long as you are willing to assist our cult in becoming the overlord of the world of martial arts, we'll support you fully when Duke Cheng's revolt begins.
C4gtKAi.jpg
Excuse me? Rise up in revolt? You're serious?
C8fRsDu.jpg
Xuanming Zi, your lackey talks too much.
C4gtKAi.jpg
What did you just say!
4sKnFu8.jpg
Ji, hold your tongue. Lord Chen is planning a coup to take out the incompetent emperor. Once it's done, we will gain our own share of privileges. After all, there is no force that has greater power than the Imperial Court.
C8fRsDu.jpg
Xuanming Zi, say no more. What I want is action. All I care about about is the results. The Beggar's Sect poses an obstacle to my plans. We share a common enemy in them.
4sKnFu8.jpg
Right. Those damn beggars are everywhere in this country. They're the most populous sec in Central China and its leader Ke Xianglong is a great master of martial arts, so it's troublesome indeed.
C8fRsDu.jpg
I will try my best to destroy them with the Court's influence, but you have to do your part.
4sKnFu8.jpg
And what might that be?
C8fRsDu.jpg
I have already sent spies to several headquarters of the Beggar's Sect. Soon I will round them all up. But my confidential letter was intercepted by a few members of their sect. I do not want them to expose my identity and foil my plans.
C8fRsDu.jpg
The thieves have split up into three groups, they were last seen in Hangzhou, Chengdu, and Luoyang. I want you to wipe out these three groups to avoid any future troubles.
4sKnFu8.jpg
We will take care of them.
C8fRsDu.jpg
Good. It is a crucial matter. Succeed, and I can promise that I shall thin their ranks which means less of them to oppose your Cult.
4sKnFu8.jpg
That is agreeable. Those goddamn beggars' days will soon be numbered.
C8fRsDu.jpg
I hope you will not disappoint me.

The meeting ended. I tried searching the entirety of Hangzhou but could not find any trace of the beggars we were hunting for. Frustrated, I moved on to other targets.

The pirate leader wasted no time and signalled his men to surround us.

What business do the likes of you have with the Sea Shark Clan?
C4gtKAi.jpg
We're here to demand your loyalty to us.
iBJwmE4.jpg
You want the Sea Sharks to be your lap dog? In your dreams! We're not men with the kindest hearts, but we'll die before consorting with your cult.
b2D67fl.jpg
You're right, these dogs can really bark! A group of dogs that have forgotten their master who fed and took care of them. What a waste of food it was for Wuxia Zi to feed both of you.
4sKnFu8.jpg
Hey, isn't this Lu Shaolin, the young master of the Golden Wind Security Escorts? Not only does your reputation fall behind the Changhong Escorts, but your skills are also mediocre. It's pointless to waste our pellets on the likes of you.
b2D67fl.jpg
You blind dog, what are you barking about? Louder, I can't hear you!
4sKnFu8.jpg
Sharp tongue, eh? Then I'll make sure to numb your insolent tongue and slowly torture you to death.
iBJwmE4.jpg
No point in wasting our breath! You think you can take us on all at once? I will make sure you Cultists have no chance to even regret it!
ZeLllDO.jpg
Well said, brother! We will never surrender to you! If you're looking for a fight, then you'll get one!
C4gtKAi.jpg
Great. Let's give it our all!

235 - Poison for the Poisoner

5QOTlHc.jpg
You are welcome. Speaking of which, I do have something to discuss with you.
4sKnFu8.jpg
Master Huang, do tell.
5QOTlHc.jpg
Emissary Xuanming, the terms we agreed upon were of cooperation between the Cult of Tianlong and the Poisonous Dragon Clan, yet time and time again you used our disciples as guinea pigs for your poisonous experiments! Care to explain that?
C4gtKAi.jpg
Huh! You seriously did that?
4sKnFu8.jpg
It's true. I invented a new concoction recently, thus I was in dire need of test subjects who had been continously exposed to poisons. The disciples of Poisonous Dragon Clan fits this requirement perfectly. This is the only way to make sure the poison works.
4sKnFu8.jpg
But of course, in the process of testing, fatality is unavoidable. It is sad but this is how it must be done. Please do not be so upset, Master Huang. We are all servants of the Lord Nagaraja after all.
5QOTlHc.jpg
Their lives might not concern you, but if the situation escalates, my men will lose their trust in me and how am I going to maintain my position as the Clan Master then?
5QOTlHc.jpg
Besides, we are more than willing to sacrifice our lives for our ancestors, knowing that we die with great honor and our souls will join them in the afterlife. But this, to die after being toyed around by your experiments... it is simply unacceptable!
4sKnFu8.jpg
Haha, my bad, my bad. Here, take this gift from me, it should be enough as a token of compensation.
5QOTlHc.jpg
A pellet? No thanks, I'm not interested. Please leave now, Emissary Xuanming!
4sKnFu8.jpg
Are you sure, Master Huang? This is the famed Pellet of Absolute Obedience. I'm sure you've heard of this, yes?
j8tioUu.jpg

5QOTlHc.jpg
You! How did you! Speak now! Where is the Compendium of Toxicants?
4sKnFu8.jpg
Hahahaha! Chill out, Master Huang. I am in need of a test subject you see...
5QOTlHc.jpg
How dare you!
4sKnFu8.jpg
Haha! Jing Ji, Di Fen! Grab her!

You seem to forget your current situation. Do I need to remind you of the consequence of disobeying me?
5QOTlHc.jpg
We have been faithful allies of the Cult for generations, why are you doing this?
4sKnFu8.jpg
That's where you are mistaken, I want you to obey me, not Lord Nagaraja.
5QOTlHc.jpg
I see. Xuanming Zi, you're planning to betray Lord Nagaraja?
4sKnFu8.jpg
Whatever you say, but please don't forget, the fate of your entire clan is in my hands now. Do you really wish to be the last Clan Master of the Poisonous Dragon Clan?
5QOTlHc.jpg
You... *cries*
C4gtKAi.jpg
Tsk! I've had enough of this! Shi, let's go!

236 - Qingcheng Sect Revisited
nR5jvB8.jpg

4Qa7mEj.jpg

Jv5ywR0.jpg
Not really. The Nagaraja doesn't know we're here.
LQmCaG8.jpg
Eh? So what brings you here?
Jv5ywR0.jpg
We're here to ask you a small favor.
LQmCaG8.jpg
I'll spare nothing to help the Cult in any way we can. We'll empty our purse if need be.
Jv5ywR0.jpg
Really? Humph, then take this pill.
LQmCaG8.jpg
Wha-what is this?
Jv5ywR0.jpg
You don't need to know. Just take it.
LQmCaG8.jpg
Since this is not the Nagaraja's order, you'd better explain yourself.
Jv5ywR0.jpg
Sigh, I guess we need to make you submit to us the old way.
7ynpsae.jpg

k2pKlGI.jpg


Qingcheng Sect gimmick is basically: I crit and I trigger god mode. Also, fuck your debuff.

WeldXdN.jpg

That's absurd, they can actually hit all three of us.
And those crits hurt like hell.

The debuff will only be cleared on their turn, so the dizziness is still helpful.

I just find this encounter way too chancy for my taste. Somehow it worked out through RNG.

J5MV6g8.jpg

Jv5ywR0.jpg
It's the Pellet of Absolute Obedience made to control you.
LQmCaG8.jpg
Control?
Jv5ywR0.jpg
Xuanming Zi has big plans and wants you to obey his orders.
LQmCaG8.jpg
You're asking me to rebel against the Nagaraja?! Aren't you afraid of me telling him about your treachery?
Jv5ywR0.jpg
Try it, the poison will send you to hell. And it's a long road to hell filled with immeasurable pain and agony.
LQmCaG8.jpg
You!
Jv5ywR0.jpg
You have two options now: Join us or die.
LQmCaG8.jpg
I... Fine! I will follow your orders from now on!
Jv5ywR0.jpg
Great. You're smart.
OlkSQtk.jpg


The home of the Matchless Broadsword. I'm sorry Xiahou Fei, my old friend. It needs to be done...

You've got to be joking! This clan will never bow to you!
mxwd3mw.jpg

C4gtKAi.jpg
Cut the bullshit and fight me.
Jv5ywR0.jpg
Xiahou Fei, do not resist. It's useless. You know very well that you are no match for us.
SyuWR0U.jpg
You ask me to give up my honor and bow before the Cult? Never! I would rather die!
4sKnFu8.jpg
Teach them a lesson, lads.
Jv5ywR0.jpg
I'm sorry for this.
59cC2Kp.jpg
Humph! I'll take care of you both for Master Wuxia Zi!

After taking my Pellet of Absolute Obedience, a painful death shall await you two if the antidote is not taken regularly. Fortunately, I can provide the antidote - if you pledge your service to me.
SyuWR0U.jpg
So what! I'm not afraid of death! Listen up you evil bastards, there is one thing more important than my life: honor. It is my defeat today, so just take my life. I'd rather die than yield to evil!
SyuWR0U.jpg
Father, I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to defeat them. Let's meet again in the afterlife.
59cC2Kp.jpg
Fei!
C4gtKAi.jpg
Xiahou Fei, what are you doing? Stop it!
Jv5ywR0.jpg
I knew this would happen.
YfbtV6T.jpg

SyuWR0U.jpg
That voice - Furong! You bastards! What have you done to her? How dare you!
Jv5ywR0.jpg
Xiahou Fei, you may be brave when it comes to your own life, but I wonder what would you choose if your actions determine the lives of innocent people around you.
4sKnFu8.jpg
Haha, nice work, kid! You and I have become more alike!
NC4w4LC.jpg

Jv5ywR0.jpg
Ji, I don't care about right and wrong. The end justifies the means. Xiahou Fei is more valuable to us alive than dead. If he cooperates, then the casualties can be kept to minimal.
C4gtKAi.jpg
You!
xQUpGii.jpg
Help me! Don't do this! No!
C4gtKAi.jpg
Asshole, release her or I'll kill you first!
4sKnFu8.jpg
Enough! Xiahou Cheng, I'll ask you one last time, will Clan Matchless Broadsword obey me? Think very carefully before answering. Think of all the people living in Chengdu. The people you care about. You know what will happen if you turn down my offer, don't you?
59cC2Kp.jpg
Xiahou Cheng of the Matchless Broadsword... at your service.
SyuWR0U.jpg
Furong... Furong! I'll do whatever you ask. Just let her go. She's innocent! Shi Di Fen, please, don't get her involved...
Jv5ywR0.jpg
Master, it seems the Xiahous are being cooperative. Great news, isn't it?
4sKnFu8.jpg
Definitely. You've done a really fantastic job, my treasured disciple.
D8NMyg4.jpg

Jv5ywR0.jpg
Xiahou Fei, don't worry too much. As long as you obey, no harm will come to her.
C4gtKAi.jpg
This is a disgrace! I... Just this once! If this happens again, I'll kill you with no hesitation... I don't care who you are!
