13.1 - Shenyao Guild

Chapter 13: Shenyao Guild 1 Part 1

Translated by rabbitrisu

After Xigua Jingling returned to his guild headquarters, he saw that Yihai Yuntian hadn’t returned, so he stayed at his post and took a nap.

Today was the day when the top-level instance, Huoyun Palace, opened for its one day per week. All the elite group members who were available followed Yihai Yuntai and weren’t here, so he couldn’t find any elite members to escort him earlier. Unexpectedly, it was fine joining a random team. He even gathered some gossip, which XIgua Jingling enjoyed as a good meal. 2

As an HR who specialized in recruiting elite players, he knew the top gods in Shenzhou and the professional players of a variety of teams, but he really couldn’t remember who Xiao Ran was.

As he thought, Yihai Yuntian led a crowd into the guild hall after they finished battling in Huoyun Palace. After explaining some matters to the leaders of the elite groups, he walked over to the personnel department.

Xigua Jingling was a relative of the Juyi Court guild beneficiary. At the beneficiary’s behest, Yihai Yuntian would naturally take care of Xigua Jingling, and he would discuss some special matters with him.

“Xigua, come here.” Yihai Yuntian was always a… yes, ‘Yihai Yuntian’ had a righteous face. Newbies who hadn’t played online games before could be deceived just by relying on the guild master’s appearance and upright acts.

“Of course, boss.” Xigua followed him into the guild master’s study.

Alongside them in the study was the vice guild master of Juyi Court, Liang Lei Cha Dao. 3 It was… a bald guy with a treacherous face who looks like he wouldn’t hesitate to stab a friend between the ribs. 4

As soon as Liang Lei Cha Dao saw Xigua Jingling, he began to stab him without hesitating. “Hey, igua. I heard you couldn’t get even a lower ranked member today, so you ran to form a random team with other guys. You couldn’t figure it out, ah bro? You don’t need to be ashamed of yourself. At any rate, you bear the name of our elite group. Don’t be afraid that our Juyi Court elite groups are at this level, ah.”

Xigua widened his eyes, “Who’s speaking nonsense with such a big mouth?!”

Liang Lei Cha Dao: “They said that you said that you were going to teach a class on how to cook chicken.” 5

Xigua Jingling blushed. “Tsk! Let’s not talk about that, let’s not talk about that. Today I want to ask the boss, who on earth is Xiao Ran and why don’t we recruit him?”

Yihai Yuntian leaned back in his chair. He was very tired since he had just returned from Huoyun Palace, and he became even more tired after hearing Xigua’s words, and said, “It’s not that we won’t recruit him, it’s that we can’t win him over.”

Yihai Yuntian paused and said. “A month ago, Xiao Ran offended Shenyao. He offended them to death.” 6

The Shenyao guild was recognized by the good faction as the largest guild, a million-level super guild. It’s guild master, Jun Heqiu, was different than those who support the guild. Jun Heqiu was a real Buddha. In addition to being the guild master, he was also the leader of their professional team, and was a super god who topped the strength rankings all year round.

Xigua Jingling: “A month ago? When I was on that business trip?”

Liang Lei Cha Dao joked: “As far of your personnel department’s efficiency is concerned, the world changed again when you returned.”

Xigua Jingling had no time to deal with Liang Lei Cha Dao. He thought carefully and he did hear a lot of gossip when he first returned, and after a while, his jaw gaped open in shock: “It’s him?! The Shen Bi player who’s wanted by the entire server!?”

Wanted by millions of people throughout the entire server. If you think about it, you’ll understand how awe-inspiring that image is.

Yihai Yuntian nodded: “It’s him. I originally thought he was so intimidated by it being known throughout the whole server that Shenyao wanted him that he abandoned his account and stopped playing. I didn’t expect that guy to escape from the spotlight and prepare to make a move.”

Xiao Ran, who was forced into a coma for a month by the system, was shot by an arrow. 7

Liang Lei Cha Dao: “This time there’s a scene to watch. Seeing Shenyao now, they shouldn’t know that this guy has returned.”

Yihai Yuntian: “Everyone is busy with the Pan Long Underground Palace and the battle for world domination. How can they care about a single player.”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xigua Jingling was somewhat confused. He couldn’t help but fight on Xiao Ran’s behalf: “But I’ve seen his operations. It’s really amazing, and he’s very young. If he’s trained well, his future will be boundless. We’ll pull him into Juyi Court and focus on training. Shenyao will also spare Xiao Ran to save us face.” After all, their Juyi Court was also ranked fourth out of the super guilds, and they had a good relationship with the second guild. Shenyao wouldn’t risk annoying them to target one player, right?

Yihai Yuntian and Liang Lei Cha Dao both shook their heads simultaneously.

“Do you know why Shenyao wanted to chase Xiao Ran?” Yihai Yuntian asked.

“I remember that it was because some guy snatched the fragments of the Pan Long Underground Palace entrance tickets were stolen, so they sent out a wanted order. Later it seemed that there was a larger reason, but it was taboo for Shenyao’s people. They said that their guild master gave the order to kill him but weren’t allowed to spill anything.” 8

Pan Long Underground Palace was the name of the server’s expansion update, and it was a super large God-Level team instance. The reason why it was known as a God-Level instance was because the burst rate for top-level items above blue quality was extremely high inside. Additionally, it was because of the possession of a golden weapon. According to the officially released information, the team that wins the final battle of the instance would get at least two pieces of golden equipment, one of which was a golden weapon for the team’s professions! How was that not crazy?!

As a result, the conditions to enter the instance were also very demanding. Four fragments of entry tickets must be collected to form a complete entry ticket, and that entry ticket to Pan Long Underground Palace was recognized as the most difficult to collect amongst all of the instance entry tickets. Currently, Shenzhou had only been active for two years, and only two pieces were successfully picked up. It’s no wonder that Jun Heqiu was angry enough that he issued a wanted order.

But what was fascinating is that Xiao Ran was just a cute little newbie at the time, not even Level 10. How did he take a ticket fragment out from under the eyes of Shenyao’s elite team, ah!

Before Xigua Jingling’s gossiping soul had time to ignite, Yihai Yuntian’s unpredictable words killed him instantly.

“The subsequent chase was because he and his friend blew up Shenyao’s guild headquarters.”
