Chapter 46

Li Huailin had always thought that his running speed was already at a superhuman level, fast enough. He never expected that just as he was about to reach the entrance of the lava fissure, he would actually find several familiar people waiting for him.

"Huailin." Lingjie Yahang waved and said. The people who came were none other than Lingjie Yahang, who had just finished talking with Li Huailin, as well as Lingjie Huotou and the team led by Feiji.

"Ah?" Li Huailin was taken aback, "What a coincidence?"

"What coincidence? I came specifically to find you." Yahang smiled and said.

"What? Again, specifically to find me? Don't tell me some damn bastard posted on the forum again." Li Huailin said fiercely.

"Oh, that's not it. Didn't you say you were in a fight? I was worried you might run into trouble, so I had someone check. It turns out you had a conflict with the people from Mieshi. I happened to be nearby, so I came to see what was going on." Yahang said.

"Ah? Is that so, then it's not..."

Before Li Huailin could finish his sentence, a voice suddenly interrupted him.

"What? Is Lingjie going to stand up for this guy?"

Yahang and Li Huailin both looked up. Coming from the distance were Mieshi's guild leader Wentian and about fifty people, who quickly surrounded the few of them.

Lingjie Yahang, who was surrounded, didn't seem too worried. He smiled and said, "Oh, it's Guild Leader Wentian. Long time no see. Our guild leader Wang sends his regards."

"Yahang, I'm just asking if you're going to stand up for this guy." Wentian was in a terrible mood and wasn't being very polite.

"Oh? Our Lingjie guild has always been about the right thing, not the person. As long as it's the right thing, we will get involved, no matter who it is. We are getting involved in this, what can you do about it?" Yahang said bluntly.

"Oh, about the right thing, not the person? Your Lingjie guild sure talks a good game." Wentian sneered, "I want to ask you, this guy came to our territory early in the morning to cause trouble, killed over forty of our guild members, and looted a bunch of equipment. Are we the ones who did wrong?"

"Ah?" Yahang was taken aback, then turned to Li Huailin, "Huailin, what's going on?"

Yahang had only heard that Li Huailin and Mieshi had a conflict and started fighting, but he didn't know the details. He guessed it was probably because the Mieshi guild wanted Li Huailin's strategy for the Abyssal Dungeon, but Li Huailin refused, leading to the conflict. He never expected this situation.

What he didn't expect even more was what happened next. Li Huailin thought carefully and nodded in agreement: "Yeah, Yahang, I think I was the one who was wrong. The people from the Mieshi guild may look fierce, but they are actually good people."

"Huh?" Yahang was stunned, "What... What's going on..."

"Out of words?" Wentian didn't know why Li Huailin was speaking up for him, but even though he was angry, he knew his guild wasn't as strong as Lingjie, and he didn't want to conflict with Lingjie. "Yahang, think carefully. Do you really want Lingjie to get involved in this? Don't ruin Lingjie's reputation."

"Right, right." Li Huailin agreed, "Yahang, you need to think carefully. Lingjie's reputation is hard-earned."

"Hey, hey, who are you helping here?" Lingjie Yahang said, half laughing and half crying.

"I've always been about the right thing, not the person." Li Huailin said with a sense of righteousness, "Look at what I did, it's a heinous crime. I should be killed a hundred times by the Mieshi guild. How can Lingjie get involved in this?"

"He's right, we should kill him a hundred times and send him back to the newbie village." Wentian also said.

"Damn..." Yahang was completely confused. What was going on here? Were these two enemies or allies?

"Captain, what should we do?" Lingjie Huotou asked softly behind Yahang.

Yahang thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I think there might be some misunderstanding between the two sides. Should Lingjie act as a mediator to help resolve this?"

"There's no misunderstanding. This guy came to rob our base and kill our people. What's there to misunderstand? Mediation? Let Jiewang mediate, let him judge." Wentian hated Li Huailin so much that he couldn't accept mediation.

"Right, right, there's no need for mediation. I'm going to rob his base and kill his people. What's there to mediate?" Li Huailin also said.

"I..." Yahang was almost driven to the point of spitting blood, "I say, both of you calm down. You are public figures. If this gets out, won't it ruin your reputations? For example, Huailin, you're robbing others, and Guild Leader Wentian, you're gathering fifty people to attack a single player. Neither of these is good if it gets out."

"Hmm?" Wentian was taken aback. Indeed, it wouldn't be good if it got out, especially since he had fifty people and still lost half of them. It would be a complete embarrassment.

"Damn!" Li Huailin saw the change in Wentian's expression and knew he was hesitating. This Yahang was just causing trouble for him. If the other side didn't chase him, where would he get his equipment, money, and experience? After some thought, Li Huailin decided to use the simplest method to nip the mediation in the bud.

"Joker, take a look at this!" Without a word, Li Huailin swung his sword directly at Wentian.

-591

The first strike didn't land a critical hit, but it still took away nearly half of Wentian's health.

"You damn...!" Wentian never expected this guy to attack right away, and without any warning, he dared to stab him in front of his fifty team members. His anger meter was maxed out. He slammed the table and cursed, then reached for his weapon to kill.

But before he could act, Li Huailin swung his sword again. Unfortunately, this time it was a critical hit, and Wentian was knocked down by Li Huailin in one move.

Not only that, but this time Wentian dropped a blue-glowing helmet. Li Huailin was delighted and quickly picked up the equipment, putting it in his bag.

"Hey... Huailin?" Yahang looked at the sudden change in front of him, completely stunned. What was going on?

"Oh, Yahang, I'm going to fight. If there's nothing, you can go back first. I'll ask you for those potions later. I don't have time now." Li Huailin said and then charged toward the nearest Mieshi guild mage.

"Damn, this guy killed the guild leader. Brothers, let's take him down." Jiuge, who had just reacted, shouted loudly.

"Come on, face me head-on." Li Huailin continued to draw their attention.

The scene immediately turned chaotic, with fireballs, ice bolts, and arrows flying everywhere. Only Yahang and his team were still standing there, dumbfounded.

"Captain, what should we do now?" Lingjie Huotou asked softly again.

"How should I know what to do? This is just a way to ruin the team." Yahang held his forehead, "Forget it, let's step back. We'll stay out of it for now."
