Chapter 49

Many people began to mourn for those in the Eastern District.

With such a monster in the same district, there's no need to think about it; just obediently submit.

Meanwhile, the people in the Eastern District were experiencing a complex mix of emotions.

They still had fresh memories of how lively the exchanges on the public channel had been earlier.

Especially Wang Ke, who had been clamoring to make Chen Ping look bad and to eliminate him the moment the assessment began.

At the time, they had built the Eastern District Alliance with great fanfare, with at least nearly two hundred people joining.

But these people were now either silent or apologizing to Chen Ping on the public channel.

Their attitude was so sincere and their words so genuine that they almost wished they could kneel before Chen Ping.

Some who had not participated in the alliance earlier were also feeling uneasy in their hearts.

They did not know what Chen Ping's actual attitude was, nor what kind of person he was.

If Chen Ping were to sweep through everything, how should they respond?

"As long as we are led by Chen Ping, the strength of our Eastern District will definitely be among the best."

"Yes, I have already sent out scouts to explore the surrounding situation; once I find Boss Chen Ping, I will immediately request to join him."

"Everyone, don't belittle yourselves; there are nearly eight hundred people in the Eastern District, and Chen Ping isn't guaranteed to win."

"My Li family in the Eastern Third District has already begun to rendezvous with our allies, and I believe the other families are doing the same; the Wang family of the Eastern Seventh District has already been kicked out of the alliance by us."

"Let everyone develop on their own for now, and we will rendezvous with Chen Ping when the time comes; with his strength, it wouldn't be impossible to give him the position of alliance leader."

"Exactly, this is only the first assessment; there are still the second and third ones to come, until the entire district is opened."

"If the internal friction in the Eastern District is too severe, Chen Ping won't be able to have the last laugh either."

From the initial comments by commoner lords to the later participation of lords from major families.

Compared to commoner lords, lords from major families clearly had much more confidence.

They believed that a single lord was no match for Chen Ping, but united, they were a force Chen Ping could not ignore.

In this way, everyone had an opportunity to sit down and talk.

With the style of their major families, they believed Chen Ping would not dare to ignore them either.

Commoners and major families formed a stark contrast.

Commoner lords originally could only serve as subordinates to major family lords, but now they suddenly had an extra choice.

Chen Ping, who also came from a commoner background, saw his status in their hearts rise rapidly.

If there was an opportunity, everyone would rather join Chen Ping's side.

The atmosphere in the Eastern District became eerie amidst such discussions.

As for the other four major districts—South, West, North, and Central—a considerable portion of their discussion topics also fell on Chen Ping.

There was no help for it; he was first on the Golden List, leading by a cliff-like margin in points.

It was hard not to be discussed.

Natasha looked at the messages refreshing in the temporary group; many people were congratulating her.

This was a small sub-group of the Holy Territory faction; the number of people from the Holy Territory had always been small, and they were very united in any activity they participated in.

Now that Natasha was third on the Golden List, everyone naturally wanted her to step up and take the lead.

"Don't worry, Natasha; with our support, you definitely have a chance to compete with that Chen Ping."

"That's right, everyone report your coordinates, let's see how we can gather together."

"The Holy Territory hasn't produced a trial first-place winner in a long time; this time we have great hope!"

Natasha looked at the messages, a look of being unable to laugh or cry appearing on her face.

Everyone was very excited, wanting to show their skills in this trial, but they didn't know she had already defected to Chen Ping.

Back at the Sea Fantasy, the tone of following Chen Ping had already been set.

After thinking about it, Natasha chose not to say this in the group channel.

She decided it would be better to say it in person after everyone gathered.

As for competing with Chen Ping, Natasha shook her head and drove this thought from her mind.

Anyone who had witnessed Chen Ping's performance at the Sea Fantasy would never harbor such a thought.

She was like that.

Will and Huang Qi were also like that.

At this time in the North District, Huang Qi was outputting crazily in the public channel with his formidable big mouth.

In the time it took others to type one sentence, he could spit out several.

The entire North District public channel was simply crushed by him alone.

And the reason for the quarrel was that the North District initially wanted to unite to resist the Eastern District, which possessed Chen Ping.

As a result, Huang Qi came up with: "You guys should just wash up and go to sleep; stop dreaming."

This guy's big mouth directly blew up the entire North District public channel, provoking condemnation from many lords.

"Huang Qi, you just wait; don't think that because your Huang family is powerful, we don't have many major families here!"

"How could the North District produce such a freak like you? You wait, we'll go wipe you out first!"

"Come, come, come, I'll wash my butt clean and wait for you; if you don't come, you're dogs!"

"Oh, damn it, I'm so pissed off."

60: The pressure of one person stirring up all major districts

Will, with a pale face, looked at the public channel with black lines on his forehead.

He really didn't expect Huang Qi to be this much of a dog.

It was obvious he had already angered the entire North District, yet this guy looked so fearless.

At this time, Will had already received several group invitations.

He was ranked fifteenth on the Golden List and was a lord highly valued by the people of the North District, so he was naturally very popular.

After thinking about it, Will sent a private message to Huang Qi.

【Will: Are you crazy, kid? Even if you want to defect to Chen Ping, you don't have to be this arrogant.】

【Huang Qi: I'm not afraid of them at all!】

【Will: Aren't you afraid you won't even pass the first assessment?】

【Huang Qi: It's fine, I have a transfer crystal core; once I find a crystal wall node, I'll transfer to the Eastern District.】

【Will: ……】

【Huang Qi: Do you want to come together?】

【Will: Forget it, I don't want to get entangled with you guys.】

Will rubbed his temples.

Huang Qi actually possessed a transfer crystal core; was this kid not afraid of offending the people of the North District?

But he didn't want to get entangled with Chen Ping; Lu Fei had died at Chen Ping's hands.

That was a descendant of a Royal Territory, a prince of noble status.

Even if Chen Ping was currently in the limelight in the Lord Trial, Will didn't believe he could withstand the targeting of a Royal Territory once he got out.

Although the Sea Fantasy had disappeared, who could be sure if, with the capabilities of a Royal Territory, they couldn't find out what happened at the Sea Fantasy?

Moreover, the tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Chen Ping's start was so explosive that he had invisibly become a target for everyone.

He would inevitably face numerous tests next; joining him rashly might result in becoming cannon fodder.

Will withdrew his focus and began to send out scouts to explore the surroundings.

He was originally in the same major district as Lu Fei, but now Lu Fei was dead, and the other few people from the North District had also perished at the Sea Fantasy.

Now in the North District, there were very few who could pose a threat to him.

But what Will didn't know was that in a certain part of the North District.

A territory that had originally fallen into collapse suddenly received the blessing of an eerie power.

The subjects in the territory were eroded by this power and directly transformed into undead.

That magnificent lord's hall also transformed into a bone-chilling ancient castle under the influence of the eerie power.

Numerous undead knelt on the territory, facing the same direction.

A figure walked slowly, leading a group of undead.

"Since I have returned, I shall bring death to cover this land!"
