Chapter 349: Chapter 330: Luoshen’s Sorrow
A day ago, in the Luoshen Guild’s base...
Luoshen Demon Fiend said to Luoshen Liunian:
"Still can’t get in touch with Feng Hua. The messages we sent are like stones sinking into the sea, with no response."
Luoshen Liunian suddenly laughed and said:
"No need to contact him; he can’t come this time."
"Can’t come? What do you mean?"
Luoshen Demon Fiend was puzzled:
"Could it be that Feng Hua wants to back out?"
But as soon as he said it, even Luoshen Demon Fiend felt the impossibility and answered himself:
"From what I know about Feng Hua, he doesn’t seem like the kind of person who breaks promises."
Luoshen Liunian stood on the wall, watching the busy figures inside the base, and chuckled:
"It’s said that he’s stuck in a hidden dungeon and can’t get out, that’s why he can’t come."
Hearing this explanation, Luoshen Demon Fiend felt relieved:
"I knew it."
Then, without showing any dissatisfaction, Luoshen Liunian said:
"I wonder what kind of chaos he’ll stir up this time."
"Alright, let’s not talk about him anymore, we should also get ready."
Then Luoshen Demon Fiend systematically went to deploy and prepare for the demon invasion.
At first, everything was proceeding according to the set objectives.
With the formation of over three thousand players in Luoshen Guild, this battle was practically guaranteed to win.
Looking at the densely packed guild members standing on the walls, a surge of pride instantly rose in Luoshen Liunian’s heart.
This was the super guild he had built single-handedly, the glory belonging to him, Luoshen Liunian.
In the future, Luoshen Liunian also planned to expand the players here to ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or even more, creating a myth belonging to Luoshen.
But this grand dream shattered and collapsed the moment the event started.
As soon as the event began, someone suddenly found that the brother who had just been laughing and joking beside him suddenly logged out.
Initially thought to be an isolated incident, no one paid much attention at first.
But as more and more players logged out and vanished, a deep unease gradually welled up in Luoshen Liunian’s heart, and he shouted angrily:
"What’s going on? Where are they going!"
As the number of logged-out disappeared individuals went from one at the start to dozens, to hundreds, even thousands...
Faced with the fearless assault of the demons, the entire Luoshen base instantly descended into chaos.
The originally established defense circle collapsed the moment the numbers plummeted.
Frantic shouts continuously echoed above the Luoshen base.
Luoshen Liunian looked at the chaotic scene before him in disbelief, muttering to himself:
"How did it come to this...?"
Luoshen Demon Fiend came to Luoshen Liunian’s side with a face full of despair:
"Almost all the middle management have logged out and can’t be reached, we’re finished."
Seeing the demons pouring into the base, the severely struck Luoshen Demon Fiend originally wanted to salvage the situation.
But when he tried to give orders, he was shocked to find that not only had the guild’s members been halved, more critically, the management had collectively vanished.
Without these leaders all of a sudden, the entire Luoshen base was like a headless chicken, in utter disarray.
With just one glance, leveraging his years of command experience, Luoshen Demon Fiend knew that this was the end for Luoshen.
If the base were really demoted to level 1, it would be an unbearable blow to Luoshen Guild.
With bloodshot eyes, Luoshen Liunian raged:
"Investigate, find out who’s behind this, I want them to vanish without a trace!"
It was obvious to anyone that they had been set up.
Otherwise, it couldn’t possibly be that over a thousand players logged out almost simultaneously at the start of the event.
For Luoshen Demon Fiend, his attachment to Luoshen Guild was no less than Luoshen Liunian’s.
At this moment, Luoshen Demon Fiend also had red eyes, gritting his teeth:
"I will definitely find this bastard and tear him to pieces, that son of a bitch!"
Then Luoshen Demon Fiend hurriedly logged out, disappearing beside Luoshen Liunian.
Looking at the broken base before him, Luoshen Liunian suddenly fainted to the side, but just before hitting the ground, he disappeared from the game.
"We don’t really understand the details of the situation either."
"We only found out later that the Luoshen Guild actually failed to defend the city, and the base was demoted to level 1."
"Then in the middle of the night, someone suddenly discovered that the Luoshen Guild had surprisingly dissolved."
"And this news spread on the forum only this morning; as soon as we saw it, we came to you right away."
When Zhang Xinying finished speaking, everyone’s eyes focused on Lin Yi.
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly asked:
"Who planned this incident, any results?"
Ouyang Hao spoke up on the side:
"There are rumors that it might have been done by those guys from Divine Court."
"Divine Court?"
Lin Yi’s face was full of astonishment and confusion:
"Do they have that capability?"
It’s not that he underestimated Divine Court, but considering the status of Luoshen Guild, he couldn’t imagine what it would cost for the mastermind behind this to pull off such a ’feat’.
One must know that to enter Luoshen, even ordinary players had to sign a contract in advance.
And the contract itself was to prevent such betrayals because the cost of betrayal would be unbearable for an individual.
This was just for ordinary players, let alone those well-paid guild mid and high-levels.
If someone instigated this rebellion, then they must suffer the sky-high compensation owed by these treasonous players for breach of contract.
Involving over a thousand people, including nearly all the middle management, this was not something a mere ten or twenty million could handle.
Some might say, just logging out isn’t breaching the contract, right?
But is it really that simple to just log out?
As an experienced guild, it’s impossible they wouldn’t know such a bug could be exploited.
So in the contract, it must be stated that logging out under special circumstances would still be considered a desertion and be prosecuted for it.
Based on Lin Yi’s understanding of Divine Court’s background, they shouldn’t be inclined to take on such a huge maneuver for this.
After all, spending hundreds of millions or possibly more, just to bring down a single Luoshen.
This incident would ultimately benefit guilds like Shengshi and Holy Hall, with no gain for Divine Court.
Spending that kind of money just to make wedding clothes for others?
Lin Yi didn’t believe they were so noble-minded.
As if anticipating Lin Yi’s skepticism, Ouyang Hao continued:
"Whether Divine Court is truly the perpetrator, we can’t say for now, since there’s no concrete evidence proving it."
"However, after Luoshen fell apart, many high battle power members chose to join Divine Court, which is rather intriguing."
Guo Shaojie then asked Lin Yi:
"What do you think about this?"
Lin Yi looked at the scenery outside the window, frowning deeply:
"And what about Luoshen Liunian, how did he react?"
In Lin Yi’s opinion:
The base being demoted to level 1, although hard to bear, isn’t enough reason to dissolve the guild!
Guo Shaojie hesitated briefly and said:
"I’ve got news that the impact on him was severe, and he’s now comatose, undergoing emergency treatment in the hospital."
"Wait!"
Lin Yi suddenly realized:
"If the president is being rescued, who dissolved the guild?"
If Lin Yi remembered correctly, apart from the president having the right to dissolve the guild alone, it required the approval of two vice presidents and at least three elders, didn’t it?
Among the vice presidents of Luoshen Guild, Luoshen Demon Fiend was the one Lin Yi was most familiar with.
"Could it be..."
Lin Yi’s eyes suddenly widened, gasping:
"No way."
