Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1583: Chapter 161: Lily of the Valley’s Soul Toxin

Actually, ’White Sail Dian Dian’ had many reasons to criticize or confuse the actions of ’Mobi Chenxin’.

For instance, having extraordinary confidence in letting a girl who has feelings for you manage family affairs... Anyone with a slight understanding of human nature can guess how devoted a person will be if they have personal feelings for their leader.

But ’Mobi Chenxin’ only held onto a bit of wishful thinking and didn’t intentionally use her... sometimes, whether one confesses first and then gets a job or gets a job and then confesses makes a big difference.

However, back then, the Paintbrush showed a determined look that wouldn’t let personal feelings affect her work, and her capabilities were indeed commendable. Additionally, this pretty, cute, and enthusiastic girl had quite a number of supporters on the Black and White Path, so ’Mobi Chenxin’ turned a blind eye and chose to let nature take its course.

More importantly, at that time, there was also a Fenmo to balance her, and the Paintbrush was closely monitored.

Fenmo, although appearing gentle, was actually flawless.

These matters, because so much time has passed, not to mention other families of the Proud Sky Alliance, even some elders of the Black and White Path can’t remember... those who do remember either chose the Paintbrush or stayed by Mobi’s side, their military exploits cleared to zero back then.

If ’White Sail Dian Dian’ suddenly reversed the order of events and painted Mobi as a scumbag using a girl’s pure love to manage the family, followed by a grand performance, in the absence of an immediate rebuttal, plus a few hundred well-prepared supporters, the Proud Sky Alliance would probably just have to take the loss.

Actually, for the Proud Sky Alliance, which always had many enemies, this kind of loss was nothing, after all... regardless of whether one’s character is good enough, when you gain substantial benefits in an affair, even a Saint would be cursed.

Jealousy doesn’t disappear under the Holy Light just because you’re a good person; it only gets ignited.

However, this time, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ didn’t want it, and ’Mobi Chenxin’ didn’t want it even more.

On the other hand, the Eden side underestimated the chaos and evil of the world of Toril... wherever you have money and skills, you can level up.

Especially when at least half of the military exploits are rewarded by Coron.

To let someone quickly establish military exploits, as long as ’Mobi Chenxin’ was willing to spend money and effort, hiring someone to open a Dimensional Gate was enough.

For example, over in the Mithril Elves, the Star Realm Fort and the Half-plane were in crisis.

The return journey of the flying fort of the Mithril Elves to the Stellar Base definitely required a long time.

But in Toril, money can solve this problem.

The Mithril Elves just thought it wasn’t worthwhile, but if someone was willing to lend a hand, they certainly wanted to return home for battle sooner.

The Mithril Elves’ predicament was due to the difference in numbers.

Don’t forget that here in Aesces, although it’s a new world, unfortunately, most people can’t enter.

There are still tens of millions of people in Toril looking for new opportunities!

’Mobi Chenxin’ unhesitatingly spent the money to establish the Dimensional Gate... since he could easily forgo pursuing the financial losses due to the Paintbrush, naturally, that loss didn’t pain him.

And the cost of building such a long-distance cross-plane Dimensional Gate, in his eyes, was nowhere near as valuable as his reputation.

Then, ’Mobi Chenxin’ quietly led his most loyal subordinates, fighting day and night for so many days, becoming much more exhausted than this alliance trapped in melodramatic plots.

Therefore, ultimately, this completely unexpected result was produced.

When ’White Sail Dian Dian’ thought she held an absolute advantage, she suddenly faced ’Mobi Chenxin’, who was armed with countless pieces of evidence. Since she was never very flexible in handling problems, she almost instantly admitted defeat.

After this, no matter what she said to make people feel that the Black and White Path and ’Mobi Chenxin’ had wronged her, it was all useless, as no one would believe someone who had been lying from the start.

Many people even felt a twinge of sympathy for ’Mobi Chenxin’, who was defamed by her madness... After the Underworld of Toril was destroyed, the Black and White Path rarely gained a bit of a positive image.

After all, disbanding a group due to emotional disputes is looked down upon even in the game world.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ smiled faintly at the sky: Hey~ their family of the Proud Sky Alliance can be foul-mouthed kings, can be brainless, can be silly second generations, but they absolutely cannot be cowards.

Rumble!

Clang!

Then he turned into light along with the always-smiling spectator ’Lu Huayu’ under the assault of a huge longsword.

And then, when this high-level swordsman, who had secretly attacked while wielding a longsword, was viciously attacking the lovely female priest on the Pea Vine, the wounded Windbell Grass transformed, extending countless vines adorned with silver flowers.

A jingling sound resonated through the sky.

Lily of the Valley began her counterattack journey.

The magical swordsman of unknown identity, under the dense barrage of whips from Lily of the Valley, had no chance to retaliate.

No matter how much Aesces restricts Hill and his companions, they wouldn’t truly impose strict requirements. The poor Lady Lily of the Valley, only retaliating after being harmed, even when her beautiful silver bells emitted some peculiar aura.

Of course, on the other hand, he was actually quite pleased.

After all, Lily of the Valley’s toxin could harm the soul... as long as there were someone else’s methods in this swordsman’s Mental Sea, this person would inevitably reveal their true form under Lily of the Valley’s pursuit.

No matter how convincing the previous speculations about Luciella were, they were fraudulent and couldn’t win the crowd’s approval... To eliminate Triton, and therefore limit his control over the world, Aesces was indeed somewhat flustered.

His approach of controlling only the top combatants, learned from AO, might have seemed flawless before, but when the Evil God began to exploit the lower populace and develop them into high-level professionals between Level 10 and 15, it became somewhat inadequate.

Mainly, he couldn’t make his world as terrifying as Toril, nor could he truly be like AO, indifferent to the countless lives lost in the process as long as the result was achieved.

However, Aesces was reluctant to part with this world and the powerful energy already integrated into him.

Thus, although he had been silently observing the Undead Tribe’s battles, he dared not communicate with Hill anymore, knowing he would be mercilessly mocked!

Even Aesces, upon reflection, couldn’t help but wonder if he himself was being a bit foolish.

Lily of the Valley’s long tendrils whipped the enemies around the Cloud Platform far away... though she adhered to the rules and didn’t attack any undead, without the assistance of the Sea Monster, how could Eden’s and ’White Sail Dian Dian’s’ subordinates stand against the Proud Sky Alliance, whose numbers were several times their own?

Even if ’Snow Cloud Peak’ transformed into a soul commander once again, who cared?

Instead, the sudden reality of Hill’s demigod-level plant becoming the command center caused significant harm to them.

The struggling ’Ji Lanyuan’, under the relentless pursuit of the ’Old Age Striking King’, and those few companions helping with healing despite being severely beaten by other knights, all stiffened... They certainly knew they faced inevitable demise, but they believed themselves to be sacrificing for the greater good.

As long as the Proud Sky Alliance lost their leading opportunity and military exploits this time, there would be room for others to develop in this world, even if it ended up benefiting Eden. In ’Ji Lanyuan’s’ view, it was merely growing pains.

There must always be sacrifices.

Anyway, if other families have the opportunity, and they can’t compete with Eden’s families, it only proves their incompetence... completely disregarding how other families without NPC assistance would compete if Eden instantly expanded to the level of the Proud Sky Alliance under Ellie’s aid.

She merely acted according to her wishes, then comforted herself with the notion, ’I’ve sacrificed, you have no one but yourself to blame for your incompetence.’

After all, all she wanted was to dismantle the monopoly of the Proud Sky Alliance.

However, the appearance of Lily of the Valley made ’Ji Lanyuan’, who wasn’t unintelligent but had ulterior motives, realize an important fact... from the beginning, they were thoroughly exposed.

These so-called pieces of intelligence and the central command were all traps ’Snow Cloud Peak’ had long prepared for them.

However, before she could utter her wail of despair, she was struck down to the ground by a kick from the ’Old Age Striking King’, who seized the opportunity.

”You guys, help me keep guard; don’t let anyone come in to rescue her, also don’t let her commit suicide.” The ’Old Age Striking King’ directed the knights of the Black Rose, ”Outsider, step aside.

Ha~ she should fight back; it would be better for you to die early and be reincarnated.”

’Cunlü’ danced gracefully on the vines, accompanied by the punches and curses of the ’Old Age Striking King’, singing that song familiar to many once more.

Her bare ankles, adorned with silver bells, beat out an enchanting rhythm.

Her flexible waist bent in a graceful curve.

The surrounding undead couldn’t help but reminisce about the illustrious achievements of this young lady from a few years ago. Then they looked at the magical swordsman from Basia, who had launched the surprise attack, and gave a wry smile.
