After following Zhou Yuling away from the chess game, the discarded clone immediately said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shall we go directly to the Court of Disorder now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhou Yuling’s figure stopped above the Twilight Sands near the Black Ice Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her hand and used a purple silk hood to cover her face, restoring the previous official Zhou Yuling’s appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she raised her hand again and took out a skull-shaped tool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye looked closely and felt that the tool resembled a skull but also a bit like a wooden fish monk’s percussion instrument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Zhou Yuling then flipped her hand and took out a small white bone hammer, knocking on the skull-wooden fish repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rhythm she struck seemed to follow a specific pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And she appeared very skilled at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While knocking, she explained to him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m calculating whether one hundred thousand people can reach the maximum limit for a single court session in the Court of Disorder.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had mentioned this calculation before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She originally thought ten thousand people would be enough, but after calculating, it was insufficient, so she sought out Jiang Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it was normal to recalculate with one hundred thousand people now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Jiang Ye was puzzled: “Why didn’t you calculate it all at once before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have to wait until you meet the condition of one hundred thousand people to calculate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Zhou Yuling finished knocking on the skull-wooden fish and took out a talisman, sticking it onto the skull’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she took out a thin syringe and stabbed it into her chest, near the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She drew about 30ml of blood and dripped it directly onto the talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye watched and asked, “This blood drawing... does it have to be fresh blood taken on the spot?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that if fresh heart blood was needed every time for the calculation, it might be better to store some in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Zhou Yuling was drawing blood on the spot, it should be fresh blood?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they had used the Life Stone three times; at this point, Jiang Ye naturally knew that fresh blood and stored blood were different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling seemed too focused and didn’t explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She used the syringe filled with 30ml of blood, using the needle tip as a brush, drawing a specific blood-colored pattern on the talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the whole talisman caught fire, emitting black smoke tinged with blood color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black smoke directly entered the skull-wooden fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, from inside the wooden fish, a rhythmic knocking sound emerged out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling gestured for Jiang Ye to keep quiet and listened carefully to the knocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the knocking stopped, she tapped the skull-wooden fish again with the bone hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye felt this knocking sound was noticeably deeper and richer than before, as if something blocked the inside of the wooden fish, making the sound less crisp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, after Zhou Yuling finished a series of operations he couldn’t quite understand,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed to have gotten the answer from the wooden fish’s response, her eyes slightly thoughtful, then she said gravely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One hundred thousand people is indeed enough, but the exact maximum limit for the Court of Disorder is 99,999 people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That is to say, one less than one hundred thousand...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She explained while pondering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I previously thought the court’s maximum was ten thousand people because each Newbie Apartment district’s numbering was exactly 0000 to 9999, ten thousand people...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unexpectedly, the Court of Disorder’s maximum isn’t four nines, but five nines.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, does it still have a connection with the Newbie Apartment numbering?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling muttered to herself as if thinking aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye also couldn’t help but think—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his main body was really trapped inside the Court of Disorder...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that the main body’s involvement forcibly increased the Court of Disorder’s difficulty, meaning the court’s maximum was raised?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, the Court of Disorder would only require 9,999 people, corresponding to the apartment numbering?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or even, the apartments numbered from 0000 to 9999 actually meant ten thousand apartments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the number shouldn’t be 9,999 but exactly 10,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Zhou Yuling’s calculated maximum is 99,999. Could it be because the trapped main body was already counted as one person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these were just his wishful speculations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the main body was really trapped in the Court of Disorder, he was only guessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him thinking, Zhou Yuling took the initiative to ask: “Did you think of anything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye shook his head: “No, I’m just thinking, if now only 99,999 people are needed, does that mean I only need to deploy 89,999 puppet clones?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or do you want to exclude a certain follower?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When mentioning followers, Zhou Yuling’s eyes flickered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, she said solemnly: “Exclude one follower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At that time, your main clone will join my ten-thousand followers group chat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You alone will represent ninety thousand people. All actions inside the court will follow my commands in the ten-thousand group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she asked Jiang Ye, “Are you going to enter the Court of Disorder with this clone as your main clone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t really matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could swap clones anytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when two clones dressed identically swapped, outsiders would hardly notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, when arranging ninety thousand puppet clones, he would naturally mix in some important powerful clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it didn’t matter if this discarded clone acted as the main clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eager to enter the Court of Disorder without unnecessary steps, he nodded directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Zhou Yuling waved her hand and summoned the White Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, two thin threads shot out from the White Tower, pulling her and Jiang Ye inside the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous turmoil had left nearly all follower players severely injured in spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the interior of the White Tower was no longer in rebellion, it was still a scene of widespread misery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Yuling’s sudden appearance instantly quieted the entire White Tower interior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hovered in the air, emitting a cold snort that reverberated everywhere!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the already quiet space fell into deeper silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Peng Gu, the former rebellious leader, stubbornly shouted at Zhou Yuling:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Zhou, you really are imposing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We agreed that as followers, we would only cooperate with you to clear the Court of Disorder...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But how have you treated us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You clearly broke the promise first, and now you turn things around and blame us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah, I broke the promise?” Zhou Yuling laughed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone was extremely disdainful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her posture restored that towering superiority she had when first appearing, above all follower players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you mean I brought you all to descend into the Newbie Apartment and have to act like a nanny protecting your safety?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you think if you ventured into this 0000 Apartment on your own, you wouldn’t encounter any disasters?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You saw the situation before—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although the one who sealed you was indeed a top expert from the Defenders’ Alliance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But it was never my decision, nor was it my subjective will to harm you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And you should realize afterwards—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although you lost consciousness for a while, essentially, you weren’t harmed at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, essentially, I did not wrong you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This matter could have been explained clearly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even because the one who sealed you was from my Defenders’ Alliance, I was willing to explain and compensate you...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you? Without any losses, you act as if you suffered a huge injustice and even caused trouble for me?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the last sentence, Zhou Yuling sounded very angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Ye knew clearly, she was just pretending!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What do you mean it wasn’t her decision? It wasn’t her subjective will? What a lie!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She and Lin Ling were clearly on the same side!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the fact she led these people to explore the Court of Disorder was essentially Lin Ling’s plan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye believed these clever follower players probably didn’t believe Zhou Yuling’s lies either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whether they believed it didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What mattered was that the situation was stronger than the people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they were battered and exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, as followers, they definitely couldn’t fight Zhou Yuling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since Zhou Yuling appeared here, it meant Xu Gou had lost...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These fence-sitters naturally knew which side to take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the smarter ones, or those used to being fence-sitters, immediately realized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Zhou Yuling still wasted words with them even while holding an absolute advantage, and said things that not everyone might believe,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It meant she didn’t want to tear apart the relationship completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So soon, some players from the minion camp spoke up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Zhou, it’s not fair! Actually, I didn’t resent you at all since I didn’t suffer any loss!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was that Xu Gou. He was the first to attack the White Tower and also instigated us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once one voice spoke, others started blaming Xu Gou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were just panicked after losing consciousness for a while and were incited by Xu Gou...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, the law doesn’t punish the crowd, an innocent man is not blamed, Xu Gou is guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a while, voices denouncing Xu Gou arose one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Peng Gu was scolded a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation did not surprise Peng Gu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a grim silence, he also admitted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was also deceived by Xu Gou...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t have strong resentment toward Sister Zhou at first; it was Xu Gou’s promise to release me from the follower relationship that convinced me...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation was no surprise to Zhou Yuling herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could even say she had seen too many such cases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was simply the victor being king and the loser being the outlaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the White Tower had really been breached and she couldn’t defeat Xu Gou...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people would have directly supported Xu Gou and called him a hero.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now Zhou Yuling was standing here, so she was the “hero.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Zhou Yuling still needed these people, she could only “let bygones be bygones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her anger visibly dissipated somewhat because of the crowd’s remarks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was all an unspoken understanding; Zhou Yuling didn’t bother to put on a show anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She directly summarized: “Xu Gou’s assault on the White Tower was for selfish reasons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You all were indeed instigated by him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let the past be the past; I’m too lazy to pursue it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, what everyone cares about next is the exploration of the Court of Disorder!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, noisy voices arose from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a surprised voice asked Zhou Yuling:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So the boss means we are going to explore the Court of Disorder immediately?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Zhou Yuling answered decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After scanning the whole scene, she suddenly became serious and her voice grew stern:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What I’m about to say next is very important.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In a moment, I will send this information as a file to our ten-thousand followers group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, to ensure everyone clearly understands this information, I will explain it to all of you.
