Chapter 714: Falling Starlight

"It means I spent such a huge price! I almost mobilized every guild that can be mobilized now!"

"Attacking a Yan Huang! To actually fail?!"

Xuan Yuan Hua Di finally broke his defenses for the first time.

The investment for this operation wasn't cheap; he barely managed to persuade the group's supporters… After all, for an operation this large, even with his identity as Xuan Yuan Ye, he truly couldn't mobilize the Xuan Yuan Conglomerate's massive resources.

If I capture this Yan Huang Base and have the Shenhua Guild build a town‑level base with the scale of a top‑tier guild… then I have a chance to become the true heir of the Xuan Yuan Conglomerate!

For that, he owes an unknown number of favors.

Now you tell me we'll fail?!

"Let the people from Dianfeng, Zongheng, and Chu Ge spare no expense and rush over to support me!"

Xuan Yuan Hua Di practically shouted.

Among them, Qiancheng Gongzi's expression was also grim as he stared intently at the three‑colored energy shield before him.

Why is that!

Is that guy really my nemesis?

Seven years ago, I merely entertained a crooked thought, and that madman, sparing no expense, forcibly knocked my Qiancheng Muxue off the divine altar.

After the defeat, he just brushed himself off and quit the game, and left an Assassin Alliance that tightly restrained my side's development.

Resulting in my Qiancheng Muxue guild being firmly suppressed to eighth place.

By the time we reached "Zhu Lu", it was even worse; we were losing everywhere.

Now, facing the Imperial Dynasty's backstab and the enemy Shenhua, I endure humiliation, hitch a ride on Shenhua's carriage, and even hand over some of my Bottom Cards… such as the Royal Authority Token.

Yet we still can't take Yan Huang!

Why!

That guy is clearly just a country bumpkin!

Qiancheng Gongzi looked extremely displeased!

Xuan Yuan Hua Di's expression was far from pleasant, while Jiang Hai Tange seemed the most relaxed and carefree.

But the multicolored shield before us, with a value in the hundreds of millions, was essentially a Tian Qian!

"It's not that there's no way..."

At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Who! What method!"

Xuan Yuan Hua Di's eyes suddenly brightened as he looked toward the voice.

Bu Tui Jushi!

"Do you have a way?" Xuan Yuan Hua Di asked anxiously.

He didn't understand Bu Tui Jushi.

He was only recruited under the title of second place in the Nian Beast arena, and they paid a high price!

A monthly salary of a million! Plus commissions based on contributions!

Xuan Yuan Hua Di only knew he was a Hidden Class.

"I have a skill that can bypass this shield!"

"But the cost is a bit high."

"What do you mean?!"

Xuan Yuan Hua Di stared at Bu Tui Jushi: "Time is limited; tell me the specifics."

"Inside there are over five thousand Yan Huang, and we need all of us to go over to have a chance to capture it."

"But there are also over nine thousand present; if we all teleport, I lack that capability."

"I can teleport about half!"

"But the price is my level; I'm currently level 52, and a level‑1's experience can teleport 100 people!"

"Level 10 is the minimum; sacrificing my level can send 4,200 people over, but 4,200 may not be enough to defeat Yan Huang!"

"And the cost is too great!"

Bu Tui Jushi hesitated and spoke.

"I don't care! Go all out!"

"Regardless of the outcome, I'll give you a hundred million!"

Xuan Yuan Hua Di said.

"One hundred million!?" Bu Tui Jushi's heart skipped a beat; in reality he was just an ordinary person, and in the game he was merely lucky, otherwise he wouldn't have been recruited with such a high salary.

"Pay first!" Bu Tui Jushi said.

It's not that he distrusts the Xuan Yuan Conglomerate; it's just that a hundred million is too…

"Alright! No problem!"

Xuan Yuan Hua Di, without further words, directly contacted the outside.

The game warehouse has the function to contact the outside world and can receive messages from his bound phone.

After all, the recharge channel is now open, making things much more convenient.

"Check receipt!"

"You have to pay the tax yourself!"

This also counts as game revenue; the tax rate is low, five percent. (Nonsense, don't take it seriously.)

Seeing the account notification, Bu Tui Jushi became completely excited; paying taxes and such didn't matter anymore!

A normal person wouldn't be able to mobilize a hundred million that quickly, but the Xuan Yuan Conglomerate could do it with ease.

The current Xuan Yuan Hua Di is a gambler!

Although he knows there are just over four thousand, they might not be able to beat the Yanhuang troops in the town center.

But giving up now would mean all previous effort wasted.

That's the sunk‑cost effect; after investing so much, abandoning it would be very unsatisfying.

Naturally, they want to make one final gamble.

As long as we can capture Yanhuang Town, everything is worth it!

"Time is limited; decide who to teleport over, I'm ready to start."

Bu Tui Ju Shi stepped forward, brandishing a whisk.

In the sky, streaks of starlight seemed to ignite, reflecting onto Bu Tui Ju Shi.

Seeing this brilliant scene, everyone was a bit surprised.

"My profession is a star‑observing practitioner, a Hidden Class of practitioners, able to command the power of Xingchen."

"It also requires a price, allowing one to accomplish inconceivable feats."

Bu Tui Ju Shi smiled and said, "Make the most of the time."

"Alright!"

Xuan Yuan Hua Di nodded.

Soon, four thousand were selected; they were the elite among elites.

"Very good, begin!"

"All those being teleported, come to me!"

Bu Tui Ju Shi nodded.

"Guide them!"

Swish~

Starlight lit up the sky.

"Chairman, what are they doing?"

Someone on the Yanhuang side, watching the commotion outside, asked.

Su Sheng shook his head.

"I don't know either, but caution is wise."

Although the dawn of victory was visible, the opponent, facing over two hundred million shield value, had not given up, clearly having other intentions.

"Starlight guide!"

The sky was filled with starlight reflecting onto Bu Tui Ju Shi!

Immediately, the starlight spread, covering everyone around Bu Tui Ju Shi.

Swish~

The starlight suddenly dissipated, and along with it vanished Bu Tui Ju Shi and the people around him who had been covered.

Boom!

Then, a brilliant starlight fell directly from the Nine Heavens.

It pierced the tri‑colored shield and fell straight into the Yanhuang town center.

It immediately occupied a large area, pushing the Yanhuang players there aside.

"Bad!" Su Sheng's expression changed sharply.

"Block that spot!"

Su Sheng pushed through the crowd toward the starlight's location.

He hadn't expected the opponent to have such a move, bypassing the shield!

Swish~

A group of allied forces appeared within the starlight; Bu Tui Ju Shi in the center of the crowd turned pale, glanced at his level, and gave a wry smile.

But after checking an account message, he finally smiled.

"Ah ha ha, they really came in!"

"Charge in!"

"Don't mind the Yanhuang people, rush in and destroy the territory stone!"

Xuan Yuan Hua Di shouted excitedly.
