20.2 - Return to Steal People

Chapter 20: Return to Steal People – Part Two

Watching Xiao Ran who was less than three meters away from the entrance to Han Bing Xue Field instance, he suddenly stopped, as if he’d noticed something, then suddenly turned around and swept out of the instance.

Youmao Bing and the others lurking in the area believed that their locations had been revealed, so they no longer attempted to conceal themselves. They activated their physical skills to catch up.

“Don’t let him escape!”

The masterful little painting that Xiao Ran was controlling looked panicked 1 , which vastly increased Youmao Bing’s and the others’ bloodlust. Youmao Bing ordered his team – this time, surround Xiao Ran and don’t let him escape!

There was no need for Youmao Bing to say more. They lingered at the entrance to the instance like stones for over an hour, and they felt resentful toward Xiao Ran. At that time, he was the only one in their eyes, and their surrounding environment seemed to be nonexistent. They pursued him at full speed. When they chased him out of the instance zone and reached a deserted area of Xue Wu Forest, they realized something was wrong.

Didi: “Why did he seem to deliberately run to a place with few people? Like it’s more convenient for us?”

Youmao Bing: “There’s something strange going on! Be careful everyone!”

As soon as his voice fell, the Xiao Ran in front of them stopped running, turned his head, and waved his brush to release a Hibiscus skill. An ink drawing of a hibiscus flower pierced Didi’s hand that was preparing to shoot an arrow, interrupting the skill he was about to release.

Good technique!

Didi secretly sighed within his heart. He dodged to the side, and when he was ready to shoot again, a blade of light suddenly flashed within the surrounding woods. Didi quickly and agilely leapt to the side. Unexpectedly, his leap conveniently provided an opening for Autumn Breeze Sweeping Leaves. When the spear was aimed and swept, Didi shot out upside down, colliding with the center of Youmao Bing and Qianyun Chui, who were standing together, and smashed them all to the ground.

Yiye Feihua flashed before their eyes with his spear in hand, while the other four were controlled by Guaiwo Ge and Danshen Guai Shei who appeared behind them.

It’s a trap!

The seven Shenyao members finally reacted.

“Yi…… Yiye Feihua!” The crowd didn’t know who recognized Yiye Feihua, but as they looked at the Great God together, their hearts sank simultaneously.

Whoever Yiye Feihua was, he had a low presence in Shenzhou. Xiao Mengxin may not know him, but as an experienced player, especially as an experienced player of Shenyao, he understood a lot, ah!

Even if the professional players on his own team didn’t recognize it, the abyssal equipment on Yiye Feihua’s body had been seen extremely frequently in game videos and been picked up so many times on his own guild forum. How could he not know it!

Even remembering that the entirety of Shenzhou had collectively chased and attacked Yiye Feihua, their god Shenyao still had the most people and power.

Because the factions weren’t intercommunicable, Fengdu started half a year later than Shenzhou. The full-service professional league hadn’t started yet, and there were just some competitions between the factions, so there hadn’t yet been a competition for the title of Top Player in the Chinese server.

Jun Heqiu was both the team captain and the guild master. He also scored well as 13 th in the World Hegemony 2 last year. At that time, it had only been a year since Shenzhou had opened for service, and some players ranked top 15 in the world. Regardless of strength or appeal, Jun Heqiu had undoubtedly been the top player in Shenzhou.

There were a lot of players in Shenzhou, and their territory was larger than that of Fengdu. It also started half a year earlier than Fengdu, so in the hearts of Shenzhou players, Shenzhou’s top player was the top player on the Chinese server. So on the internet, all kinds of mindless huffing and puffing with closed eyes 3 , posturing of the ‘light of the Chinese server’ 4 caused dissatisfaction amongst many players in the Fengdu capital, and that time was when the fight between the two sides kicked off. 5

But what if the other party’s quarreling breaks the sky?

“Which green onion is Yiye Feihua? 6 Not even a professional player. In terms of strength, not even worthy of lifting my family’s shoes!” 7 Shenzhou’s number 1 player sprayed out.

“That shameless person in the main position, ba. Great God Yiye bought out the four super guilds in Fengdu, and when most of the seeded teams 8 for the professional league were monopolized, the light of our home server was still beaten by some foreigner! Fengdu’s number 1 player replied like that.

“That’s better than some people who aren’t even qualified to participate in the World Hegemony! We have so many game videos circulating the internet. Why haven’t you seen any from your family?”

“Our boss is low-key, working on the specialized occupation Dragon of the Abyss. If I see the head of the divine dragon, but not the end 9 , how could I have a chance to shoot? Like your family, we know you just act handsome in front of the players. Do you even know what specialized occupations are! Spicy chicken!” 10

“Hehe, No picture, 11 you’re saying fart. 12 We were still MVP players in the Shenzhou Spring League last season. Do you know what MVP is? Stupid cunt!”

“Aaaahhhh! After our boss finished his specialized occupation, you must look closely!”

“Come on, come on, ah. If he has the skills, he can cross Buzhou Mountain 13 teach us how to behave, ah!”

……

As a result, they really crossed Buzhou Mountain into Shenzhou;

As a result, they really taught Shenzhou players how to behave;

As a result, there weren’t just a few game videos on the internet, and they really blew up all of a sudden;

……Fuck, it was all a manuscript submitted by a Shenzhou player.

Yiye Feihua crossed the factions and entered Shenzhou to kill. He undoubtedly slapped all the Shenzhou players in their faces, especially Shenyao, the top guild with their ‘Light of the Chinese server’.

As a result, their emotions were infuriated for a time. Under Shenyao’s leadership, the six super guilds of Shenzhou united like never before, pursuing Yiye Feihua throughout heaven and earth, drilling through the cracks.

And the results of it? They couldn’t catch him, but they were even also taken down one by one through separation techniques. Shenzhou was not a unified state. The six super guilds were checking and balancing each other for a long time, so Yiye Feihua seized that opportunity, countering their army, causing chaos within Shenzhou.

During that unbearable history, Shenyao put in the most effort and naturally suffered the most losses. For the entire guild, if someone mentions the name Yiye Feihua, they would all grind their teeth and tremble. 14

How could that great master be here! And it looks like he’s here to help Xiao Ran?!

Youmao Bing and the others didn’t know about the relationship between Yiye Feihua and Xiao Ran. The fact that the two of them bombed their guild headquarters was too shameful for the guild, and the news was blocked by the upper ranks. Only a small number of the core members knew about it. As ordinary elite group members, they of course didn’t know. If they had known Xiao Ran had the help of a killer – it was too late for them to hide, but how would they dare to covet the high bounty on him?

Youmao Bing and the others regretted it.

***TL Notes:

Hi~ Kids are coming back to school on monday, so I have to start work full time!! First year teaching!!! 😀 And i have night classes after work :((( so updates will likely be sporadic from now on (not that they weren’t already, but yk).

Footnotes

the wording in the raws implies that this is a painting that Xiao Ran is controlling, but it may refer to Xiao Ran disguising himself as a player. Either way it’s more like a 3 rd person control of something rather than 1 st person competition for world domination mindless fan support without much actual substance the light = the hope/top support lit. ‘pinch the curtain’ meaning to begin to fight to call someone a green onion indicates that you hate them or look down on them so this is some Yantai slang. It doesn’t mean lifting as in picking up, it means lifting as in raising the flap at the top and then using your hand to provide a slope to help the foot slide into the shoe more easily. So it’s saying he’s not worthy of being a servant who helps someone put shoes on the specially selected teams If I’m only aware of part of the situation slang: trash Incomplete slang of ‘no picture, no truth’ meaning you can’t prove anything without evidence bullshit mountain that leads to the heavens or has to be passed to reach the heavens, sth like that. In this case, it divides Fengdu from Shenzhou doesn’t specify anger vs fear, could be both depending on how much of a coward someone is
