Chapter 318: Chapter 318

“What are you all standing there for? Help out together!”

Xu Gou half-crouched on the ground, his muscles bulging, veins nearly bursting.

Coupled with the blood-colored patterns covering his body, he looked like he was about to mutate.

This state was truly terrifying.

The sudden roar of anger from his mouth scared the other followers into instinctively stepping back.

Jiang Ye’s Wu Ying clone also retreated in a fake manner, but unlike the others’ fear, a glint of sharpness flashed in his eyes. Google seaʀᴄh N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

Because making those mimic masks had caused a slight facial paralysis.

At this moment, there was no need to worry about acting; his entire face was stiff.

Nearby, Zi Sang Haoyun and several members of the Salvation Organization gathered together consciously.

Another Salvation member also lowered his voice but couldn’t hide his surprise: “Isn’t Peng Gu a member of the Blood Breath Pavilion? How could he be working with Xu Gou from the Heavenly Net Organization?”

Someone else exclaimed in shock, “Look at Peng Gu’s body! Blood patterns are appearing there too! Could he be a spy planted by the Heavenly Net Organization inside the Blood Breath Pavilion?!”

“Impossible! The Heavenly Net Organization’s members all have these unmistakable blood-colored patterns… If Peng Gu really is from Heavenly Net, how did he hide his blood patterns?”

For a while, many followers discussed the intrigue between Xu Gou and Peng Gu.

But the discussion did not last long before Xu Gou’s furious voice broke out again:

“Damn it! A bunch of rabble! Didn’t you hear me asking for help?!”

The rabble gradually ceased their chatter, but a voice suddenly emerged from the crowd, questioning Xu Gou:

“The problem is, why should we attack the White Tower together with you?”

“Zhou Yuling’s actions are indeed questionable, but we only lost consciousness for a while. Now that we’ve regained it, our bodies are fine.”

“Instead of attacking like you, I think we could try talking to Zhou Yuling properly!”

“Exactly! The key is that we’re now Zhou Yuling’s followers. If a fight breaks out, we won’t gain anything! Better to calm down and negotiate!”

These voices mostly came from top-tier forces, including Zi Sang Haoyun from the Salvation Organization, who also echoed the sentiment of not wanting to fight Zhou Yuling.

Zi Sang’s words made Jiang Ye’s Wu Ying clone suspicious.

While still doubting, Xu Gou’s angry curse was heard again:

“You puppets for others, shut your mouths now!”

“Don’t think I don’t know the Defenders’ Alliance gave you extra benefits! From the start, you’ve been on Zhou Yuling’s side!”

As he spoke, Xu Gou’s muscles swelled again.

The originally tall, slender youth suddenly became a super-bulky muscular man.

His clothes strained to contain his muscles and were tearing apart...

Now, his eyes were blood-red as he swept across the players shocked and confused by his words, pressing the advantage:

“Don’t you get it? Think about who tricked you into agreeing to be the Defenders’ followers?”

“Wasn’t there someone bragging about how mysterious the Defenders are? Painting a rosy picture of how great it is to enter the Novice Apartment?”

At this, many faces showed even more suspicion.

Including Jiang Ye’s Wu Ying clone.

Wu Ying was invited to join this operation by Zi Sang Haoyun.

If not for Zi Sang Haoyun leading it...

Many Salvation members actually disliked joining such actions, becoming someone else’s followers.

No matter how many benefits were offered, temporary subordination to others was too risky!

So, without a doubt, those Salvation members willing to participate were persuaded by Zi Sang Haoyun!

For a moment, these Salvation members exchanged glances, as if reading something in each other’s eyes.

Zi Sang Haoyun’s expression was somewhat stiff.

A similar scene happened among other organization members.

Obviously, other factions were mostly led by a single person who convinced the others...

At once, those convinced “little brothers” began doubting the “big brothers” who brought them into this operation.

However, the situation was chaotic; the little brothers and big brothers hadn’t directly clashed yet.

While the little brothers hesitated and struggled, the big brothers drew their weapons or used their Glyph Pattern Abilities.

Zi Sang Haoyun flipped out a huge blade with a loud “thud,” slamming the back of the blade onto the floor.

His eyes were fierce as he swung the blade toward Xu Gou and Peng Gu’s direction.

At the same time, he shouted loudly to everyone:

“Don’t listen to these two traitorous bastards!”

“These two scumbags! They pretended to hate each other before, but now they’re cooperating!”

“They must be hiding some secret!”

“If we trust them, we’ll probably be used as cannon fodder in their plans!”

“Don’t forget! Followers can’t oppose their master Zhou Yuling!”

“These two actually dare to resist! Maybe they have ways to save themselves, but we don’t!”

With these shouts, the big brothers attacked Xu Gou and Peng Gu.

What surprised Jiang Ye was that “Yan Cheng,” a Newcomer King he had met before, also actively attacked Xu Gou and Peng Gu at this time.

So this guy was also a “plant” bribed by Zhou Yuling beforehand?

Just as he thought this, Peng Gu, lying on top of Xu Gou, sneered coldly with a fierce gaze: “Hmph! Overestimating yourselves!”

He pushed up one of his palms, which faced upward, with force!

With this move, a violet electric-like misty barrier suddenly appeared around Peng Gu’s body.

The two piled on each other were firmly covered.

At the same time, Xu Gou shouted angrily again:

“Still don’t see the situation clearly? If they weren’t plants bribed beforehand, how could their attacks be so coordinated?!”

“We outnumber them. Why not join us and rebel against Zhou Yuling and his lackeys!”

“Rest assured! If you choose to fight, I’ll naturally help you cancel your follower status with Zhou Yuling afterwards!”

“Otherwise, do you really expect Zhou Yuling to release you from the contract?”

By now, the “little brothers” were still hesitant.

But Peng Gu’s next words seemed to give them a strong boost.

“Are you all wondering why I used to quarrel fiercely with Xu Gou but now stand with him?”

“We aren’t really cooperating. Xu Gou just promised to help me cancel my follower status with Zhou Yuling.”

“That’s it! I’ve chosen to trust him. What are you waiting for?”

Following that, voices from the crowd finally shouted like they were throwing caution to the wind:

“Damn it! Let’s get him!”

“I’ve regretted it for a long time! If I hadn’t been tricked, I’d never be some damn follower!”

“Xu Gou, if you dare cheat me, I’ll risk my life against you!”

Thus, inside the White Tower, followers split into the “big brother faction” and the “little brother faction,” erupting into a chaotic brawl.

The big brothers were seen as Zhou Yuling’s lackeys.

The little brothers felt they had been deceived.

Wu Ying’s clone also belonged to the little brother faction and, after exchanging glances with other Salvation members, joined the little brothers’ fight.

But though the little brothers shouted loudly, they were all clever.

On the surface, the players inside the White Tower were in a messy fight, the scene chaotic.

But in truth, neither side fought seriously.

They threw punches back and forth, occasionally shouting to vent.

It was not worth risking their lives.

These little brothers clearly understood—

If Xu Gou’s words were true, acting now meant they could get his help to cancel their follower status later.

If Xu Gou lost, they were just a bunch of rabble stirred up.

As the saying goes, the law does not punish the masses; they were just causing a ruckus for appearances.

Zhou Yuling still had tasks for them and probably wouldn’t really punish them.

So while it looked chaotic, hardly anyone exerted real effort.

Xu Gou, inside the misty barrier, surely understood this.

But he didn’t care and shouted again:

“Those who sincerely want to cancel their follower status with Zhou Yuling early, help me attack this White Tower!”

This shout seemed not to change the chaotic scene.

A few followers quietly put on mimic masks, slightly disguised themselves.

Then they stealthily showed various skills, attacking the White Tower.

Around this time, Jiang Ye sensed that he gained several more clones.

Obviously, the mimic masks Wu Ying had freely given out earlier were being used now.

Jiang Ye was considering whether to use Wu Ying clones to help attack the White Tower.

But before he could act, he suddenly felt a solid hit on the back of his head.

His entire Wu Ying clone grew dizzy, consciousness nearly fading.

Angry and shocked, he thought about whether to fuse clones for revenge.

Then he felt a “Black Snake Pill” stuffed into his mouth, instantly silencing him.

Immediately after, the Wu Ying clone was forcibly dragged away.

His face was roughly coated with Skin Sand...

One mask, two masks, very quickly.

At the same time, Jiang Ye sensed even more clones appearing, one, two, quite rapidly...

Thus, inside the White Tower, a small Jiang Ye team attacking the White Tower appeared...

The previously childish skirmish between big brother and little brother factions now had a third faction formed by Jiang Ye’s small team.

And Jiang Ye’s Wu Ying clone...

Was in a dark corner, boasting itself as the strongest backup of this third faction :)

Elsewhere, outside the White Tower.

As the blood patterns fluctuated, Zhou Yuling spat blood, and Lin Ling’s expression instantly darkened.

She pressed her palm against Zhou Yuling’s back, seemingly transmitting healing energy.

Zhou Yuling’s condition improved quickly, but his face remained grim.

She looked toward the White Tower and whispered to Lin Ling, “Yinsu’s presence is needed.”

Yinsu was the name of the White-Robed Woman.

Lin Ling didn’t say much.

Not long after, just as the White Tower’s players split into three factions and fell into chaos,

The White-Robed Woman, who had been exploring the radiated soil in the Abyss Restricted Zone, suddenly appeared above the Black Ice Domain.

She maintained Zhou Yuling’s appearance, her entire face covered by a thin purple veil hiding her features.

Her gaze swept over Jiang Ye, and a flicker of surprise flashed in her eyes.

But soon, her attention focused on the gloomy-faced Zhou Yuling and the shaky White Tower covered in blood patterns.

The White-Robed Woman said nothing. Raising both arms, her flowing black hair turned into black snakes.

In the blink of an eye, countless black snakes swarmed fiercely.

The black snakes behind her seemed to carry overwhelming rage.

Jiang Ye only felt the pressure these black snakes emitted was far more terrifying than when he had stolen a hair from the White-Robed Woman on the apartment rooftop.

The countless majestic black snakes condensed like a rope, gathering rapidly in one place.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the mass of black slender snakes truly formed a giant black python!

The black python shot into the sky, circling the White Tower again and again...

Around the seventh circle, Jiang Ye seemed to hear a strange buzzing in his mind.

Then, the entire White Tower suddenly transformed into a giant white snake!

The black python and white giant snake quickly intertwined, tumbling and flying through the air!

Meanwhile, the followers divided into three factions inside the White Tower felt the earth shake violently, tossed about, stomachs churning!

Even the ground, walls, and ceiling inside the White Tower began to ooze pitch-black rotting slime.

The chaotic followers screamed in agony whenever they accidentally touched a drop.

For a time, screams of pain filled the entire White Tower.

The already chaotic scene became even more chaotic!

Xu Gou and Peng Gu, covered by the misty barrier, stood firmly on the shaking ground inside the chaotic White Tower.

However, numerous slime drops fell on the barrier, and Peng Gu’s face turned pale.

The ground Xu Gou supported with his hands and feet also seeped slime.

Though he did not scream in pain, his expression was extremely ugly.

Even the blood-colored patterns on his body seemed to be swallowed, dimming faintly.

Amidst this most chaotic scene...

Far from the Black Ice Domain in the Twilight Sands, Zhang Minghan said to Wu Wang and Yu Mo:

“Watch me catch an intruder for you.”

He stretched out a big hand into the void.

In fact, he used an invisible mirror clone to swap consciousness with a Jiang Ye-faced player who was causing chaos inside the White Tower.

From Wu Wang and Yu Mo’s perspective, it looked like Zhang Minghan really caught someone from the void...

This move stunned Wu Wang, who previously thought Zhang Minghan was weaker than him!

But when Wu Wang saw that person’s face, he was even more dumbfounded!

He shouted in surprise, “Jiang Ye?!”
