Just ten short minutes later.

The three of them, who had been chatting and laughing, returned to the Special Service Department with solemn expressions.

"So much time has passed, why is there still a team camping at the West District Gate..."

Zhou Yue frowned, unable to figure it out no matter how much he thought about it.

After fighting their way out of the dormitory, they encountered an ambush by a team from the Central Control Pavilion. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Fortunately, Zhou Yue's combat experience was seasoned enough; he used detection arrows in advance to discover the opponent's intentions and decisively chose to retreat.

Zhong Yi's choice was to circle from the dormitory to the West District Gate, swipe it open with a Secret Talisman Card, and then make further plans after bypassing that Central Control Pavilion team.

But he didn't expect that as soon as the West District Gate was opened, they would be shot in the back by a fully equipped, full-squad team camping behind the door.

"Strange, truly strange... Fuli and Lixin didn't hear any footsteps, so how could they have taken their positions in such a place in advance?"

Zhong Yi was also completely baffled.

They weren't looting resources in the core area, nor were they a 'knife-running' team hiding in the rat paths; why would they ambush in such an open location?

It was truly too abnormal.

It was as if they had set up an ambush in advance!

"Wuwuwu, my four-million-value fat loot bag! Ah!!"

Zhou Qiaoling cried out in heartbreak.

"Wait a minute! Old Zhong! I was killed by the same person two games in a row!"

While checking his match history, Zhou Yue suddenly noticed something was wrong.

For two consecutive games, the person who killed him was named 【Desiring to Destroy Lingxiao】.

This nickname, combined with the act of camping in advance for two games in a row...

Zhong Yi's brow furrowed instantly: "Is this targeted at us?"

Seeing this nickname, the bullet chat in Zhong Yi's livestream exploded.

【Desiring to Destroy Lingxiao? What a big mouth!】

【I know this person, he's always trying to leech clout off True Disciple Zhong on the forum... just a clown!】

【Seems to be from the Green Mountain Sect, right? Only knows how to be jealous of the Lingxiao Sect's Luck.】

【Holy crap, this guy is also livestreaming! It looks like he's intentionally stream-sniping Old Zhong!】

【A bunch of people from the Green Mountain Sect have started livestreams... a whole group of them are just staying in the team lobby # Nоvеlight # and not starting. It's not hard to guess what they're waiting for.】

【Clout-chasers!】

...

Looking at the reminders from the bullet chat, Zhong Yi half-skeptically opened the livestream section of operation xianyuan zhou.

Sure enough, at this time, several livestreams from the Green Mountain Sect had already reached the second tier of popularity.

The titles of the livestreams were all the same: 【Exclusively Hunting Lingxiao Sect】.

Just as the bullet chat said, several livestreams were on the team interface; they had clearly geared up, yet they never entered the queue.

Zhong Yi skeptically searched for several people's nicknames and was shocked to find that these people had 【Quit Mid-match】 for two consecutive games.

Obviously, just as the bullet chat speculated.

These people had teamed up specifically to harass them!

Even someone as mild-mannered as Zhong Yi was now full of rage: "Damn! Old Zhou, we're being sniped!!"

After hearing Zhong Yi's explanation, Zhou Yue was instantly filled with indignation: "Those bastards from the Green Mountain Sect, do they have no shame?"

There had always been constant minor friction between the Green Mountain Sect and the Lingxiao Sect.

Since not long ago, after the Green Mountain Sect lost a highly talented True Disciple at the Demon Slaying Convention due to Lu Ze's report, the grudge had grown even deeper.

"I just don't understand... they were the ones who cheated, and their Elder was the one who made a move. Why do they blame our Lingxiao Sect?"

Zhong Yi was extremely angry.

"Some people don't deserve empathy... we just need to give them a good beating!"

Zhou Yue let out a cold laugh.

"Old Zhong! Again! This time, we'll kill however many of them come... uh, I'm out of Spirit Stones."

Zhou Yue's grand ambition was cut short by money.

At this moment, the bullet chat in Zhong Yi's livestream was in an uproar.

【Only they can maliciously team up? Come on! Call True Disciple Li and Old Devil Lu!】

【Increase the numbers! Go head-to-head with them!】

【Old Devil Lu is also from the Lingxiao Sect, right? Call him over to handle this!】

【The other side is going too far, they're even showing off their results on the forum...】

【The worst part is they're even selling Old Zhong's dog tag!】

【So shameless!】

【We must vent this anger!!】

...

Zhong Yi glanced at the forum; several posts boasting about "wiping out the Lingxiao Sect True Disciple team without taking damage" appeared one after another.

That Green Mountain Sect Disciple named 【Desiring to Destroy Lingxiao】 was actually publicly selling Zhong Yi's dog tag!

In operation xianyuan zhou, every player entering a match has an identity token.

Whenever they die, the token automatically records the year, month, day, and hour, as well as the information of who killed the owner.

Players jokingly call these personal tokens dog tags.

The act of selling a dog tag was undoubtedly highly insulting.

"This is the last straw!"

Zhou Yue was furious.

"I'm going to the Green Mountain Sect right now to drag that kid out and have a proper talk!"

"Old Zhou, stay calm."

Zhong Yi grabbed Zhou Yue, who was about to log off.

"The Illusion Realm is the Illusion Realm. If this matter is brought to the Sect, it would actually be a loss of Face... matters of the Illusion Realm should be settled within the Illusion Realm."

"How about... I go call Senior Sister Li to replace me?"

Zhou Qiaoling suggested.

"No! You and Old Zhou, not one can be missing!"

Zhou Yue shook his head resolutely.

"We lost our own ground, we have to win it back ourselves!"

"But the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. We might be facing more than one team..."

Zhou Qiaoling sighed.

As soon as she said this, Zhou Yue fell silent.

Recalling the scenes of being camped in advance in the previous two games, it wasn't hard to guess that someone was watching Zhong Yi's livestream to report information.

Moreover, there was likely more than one team.

In the previous match, the Green Mountain Sect likely set ambushes at both the Central Control Pavilion and the West District Gate, so no matter where they went, they would be shot from behind!

"How about this, Old Zhong, you turn off the livestream, and we'll have a good game with them?"

Zhou Yue looked at Zhong Yi beside him, only to see the latter suddenly start laughing.

"Heh, hehe."

Zhong Yi let out a cold laugh he had never heard before, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"If I turn off the livestream, I won't be able to run into them..."

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Yue couldn't help but shiver.

He had never seen Zhong Yi show such an expression.

"I originally didn't want to use this tactic..."

Zhong Yi's character suddenly switched to a rare specialist role—

【Wululu】.

"If he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
