Qingshan Sect: Too Despicable

Zhong Yi's illusion world.

"This team in the Black Hall should also be from the Qingshan Sect, right?"

Zhou Yue watched the Weilong quickly retreat into the inner chamber, feeling regretful that he didn't secure the kill.

"They should be. The timing of their appearance was too perfect; otherwise, the team in the Rat Path wouldn't have had the chance to change positions."

Zhong Yi nodded.

At this time, his live stream chat was actually already flooded with information exposing enemy positions.

However, to ensure the fairness and immersion of the illusion, he always set up "anti-spoiler" and "anti-stream-sniping" functions during his broadcasts, so he couldn't see these comments.

This would have been very difficult to achieve in Lu Ze's past life, but it wasn't hard in the cultivation world.

Especially with the help of the remnant spirit of the Heavenly Dao, it could be done by intercepting the "thoughts" of the viewers sending the comments.

"There was a fight in the prison area at the beginning, we wiped out a team in the garden, and just now this team in the Black Hall had a fight in the [Deacon Hall]... Only these two teams are left on the field."

After a brief thought, Zhou Yue quickly analyzed the battlefield information.

The situation at this moment was very clear.

The team in the Rat Path had all lost a life and had already retreated to the centrifuge.

The Black Hall team had a Red Wolf who was downed for the second time and killed first, leaving only two people.

The Uluru position was incredibly overpowered; players at this stage had absolutely no idea how to deal with it, allowing Zhou Yue to suppress the entire field by himself.

"Speaking of which, isn't my sister performing a bit exceptionally today?"

Zhou Yue muttered softly in his heart.

Part of the reason he could suppress the entire field was due to Zhou Qiaoling's defense on the right side.

At that time, when the Black Hall launched their attack, people came out from both the left and right openings simultaneously.

If it weren't for Zhou Qiaoling, who was standing at the bridge entrance, performing bravely and downing the Weilong on the other side, Zhou Yue wouldn't have had such an easy time fighting.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yue couldn't help but look at Zhou Qiaoling at the bridge entrance in surprise.

Normally, Zhou Qiaoling would always do hatchet runs with trash gear, but today she rarely brought a fully modified [Zhentian 25]. Perhaps this was her true skill level?

"Hehe... Once the Black Hall is dead, we can loot their bags... Dual guns, so nice..."

The girl's burning eyes held no passion for battle, only a deep desire for looting.

Zhou Yue: "..."

...

Time slowly passed.

Zhou Yue was enjoying the game very much.

The two teams from the Qingshan Sect tried to flank from different directions, but they were all perfectly suppressed by him. His hands grew increasingly hot as the fight went on.

Unfortunately, securing kills relied too much on Zhong Yi's loitering flames, so the opposing side hadn't lost anyone else for a long time.

The situation was deadlocked for a while.

Soon, the time came to the last fifteen minutes.

The [Ascension] quest opened.

"Old Zhong, are we taking the Ascension?"

Zhou Yue asked.

He still hadn't broken free from the previous players' usage of the "bridge," which was basically built around the "Ascension" quest.

After accepting the Ascension quest, a new extraction point would appear at the Ascension Platform.

Zhong Yi smiled mysteriously: "No rush."

...

...

Qingshan Sect.

At this moment, Han Xian was badly battered and overwhelmed.

Six people teaming up but being beaten by one person to the point of not daring to show their heads was simply too humiliating!

Right now, his live stream chat was overwhelmingly filled with comments mocking them, making him incredibly furious.

They had tried countless times, but were pushed back by Zhou Yue alone every time. They couldn't even make it out of the garden.

"It's the last fifteen minutes, and they still haven't accepted the Ascension quest... Are they planning to perish together with us?"

True Lord Qingshan Fierce Assault glanced at the time and asked in confusion.

"Maybe they are waiting for us to pull the switch?"

Hatchet Rat Slayer proposed another possibility.

"Heh, then we won't pull the switch... No one leaves!!"

Han Xian sneered.

Just at the moment when the number on the dial was about to change from "fifteen" to "twelve," the wind and clouds between heaven and earth changed color.

The [Ascension] quest was accepted.

"Haha, accepting the Ascension now, they probably realize that just stalling is meaningless!"

True Lord Qingshan Fierce Assault laughed loudly.

"Then can we announce to the world that even if the Lingxiao Sect uses such shameless methods, they still can't do anything to us?"

Han Xian chuckled wickedly, instantly coming up with an idea to prevent the Lingxiao Sect from gaining any advantage.

Just then, the exclamation of a reporting disciple came to his ears:

"Senior Brother Han, something's wrong!!"

"They deliberately accepted the extreme Ascension... They have already canceled the quest, and the Ascension extraction point will open right at the deadline!!"

"The people from the Lingxiao Sect said they won't let a single one of us leave!!!"

As soon as these words came out, the three people in Han Xian's team instantly fell silent.

As everyone knew, if the [Ascension] quest was accepted but not completed, the Ascension extraction grand array at the Ascension Platform would automatically open 12 minutes later.

In other words, if they didn't pull the switch, Zhong Yi and his team could go to the Ascension Platform to extract at any time;

If they pulled the switch, Zhong Yi could pin them down to death, and finally jumping off the bridge would lead right to the extraction point.

As for them, they had fallen into a dead end!

"Hiss... How sinister!!"

After listening to Han Xian's analysis, Hatchet Rat Slayer gasped.

Such a vicious plan was simply forcing people onto a path of no return!

"Damn it, we're not leaving! At worst, we'll just blow up with them!!"

True Lord Qingshan Fierce Assault was furious, immediately exposing his reckless nature.

"Blow up? But not right now."

Han Xian shook his head after careful consideration. Then he split his divine sense and began to discuss with the other team in reality.

"Old Guo, we're not extracting this round... We'll go down fighting them!"

"As long as they occupy that Uluru position, we will never be able to break the deadlock... But they have to extract eventually, right?"

"In the last ten breaths of time, they can't defend the point anymore; they have to go to the extraction point to leave... We'll seize this opportunity to turn from defense to offense!"

"If they take the Ascension, we'll extract; if they want to take the extraction point, we'll blow up!"

"They won't let us leave? They have to stay behind too!!"

This proposal gained the agreement of the others.

The composition of their two teams was Red Wolf, Weilong, and Luna. The Red Wolf in the Black Hall had already turned into a box, which meant they only had two smoke grenades, making it impossible to cover everyone's rotation.

To get to close quarters, they could only rely on sacrificing lives to fight.

Although Han Xian felt very suffocated in his heart, right now, only this method could slightly save his face.

Mutual destruction was always better than letting their side be taken down without the enemy suffering any casualties.

...

...

Above the Immortal Bridge.

"Senior Brother Zhong, I always thought you were very righteous normally. I didn't expect that when you get ruthlessly cunning, you're more sinister than anyone else..."

After listening to Zhong Yi's explanation about accepting the quest at the 12-minute mark, Zhou Qiaoling sighed in immense admiration.

"Junior Sister Qiaoling, no matter how I listen to your words, it doesn't sound like you're praising me."

Zhong Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"I have a question."

Zhou Yue, however, fell into deep thought.

"What if... they pull the extreme switch but choose not to extract, making it clear they want to go down fighting us, and hold an angle on our path to the extraction point?"

"Generally speaking, no one would do this, but them..."

Zhong Yi smiled helplessly.

As long as they were on the bridge, their geographical position held an absolute advantage.

So their only flaw was when they walked out of the bridge entrance, which was when they were preparing to extract.

When Zhong Yi designed this set of tactics, he took normal matches into consideration.

Average players wouldn't do this; after all, everyone wants to extract successfully.

But as for that bunch from the Qingshan Sect, it was hard to say.

Zhong Yi closed his eyes and began to ponder.

Was there any way to make them give up completely?

Just as he was at his wits' end, a highlighted red comment suddenly floated across the dense, transparent barrage of scrolling text:

[Realm Master Lu Ze: How about we just pull their switch right now?]
