Xiao Yicai said angrily, "You, you all, how dare you speak such outrageous words! You will not be leaving the mountain today!"
Lin Qing was overjoyed to see the players shouting that they wanted to slaughter the Qingyun Sect. He had been looking for an excuse to kill these players, but now, the excuse had come to him.
"Hmph, so noisy. Since you're all courting death, then I'll take action on behalf of the Qingyun Sect."
Lin Qing was secretly pleased, but outwardly he spoke coldly.
"That guy with the mask must be ugly. The uglier he is, the more likely he is to be a big boss. Brothers, grab your weapons."
After saying "I'm a troublemaker," he took out a weapon and fired it at Lin Qing.
"Haha, this is the Tang Clan's hidden weapon, the Rain of Pear Blossoms Needles. You're dead."
Seeing that someone had made a move, the group rushed to attack Lin Qing.
Fireballs, water dragons, wind blades, ice spikes, bullets, rocket launchers, sword energy, and blade auras—a variety of attacks—were launched at Lin Qing.
Lin Qing glanced at them disdainfully, raised his palm and pressed down heavily, and an extremely powerful force pressed down from above them.
"Bang!"
A gigantic handprint appeared in the square, and the area within the handprint was filled with minced flesh. Lin Qing didn't want to see such a disgusting scene.
The Earth Control Divine Power was activated, instantly restoring the handprints in the plaza to their original state, and the minced meat also disappeared.
More than two thousand players also disappeared along with him, along with the thousand guards who hadn't even made a move; Lin Qing had also eliminated them.
"Gulp!" Everyone present swallowed hard.

Seeing the thousands of players disappear, those still present stared at Lin Qing in horror.
Especially the mortals, watching the immortal effortlessly annihilate thousands with a flick of his hand, their eyes gradually sharpened. They too wanted to be like Lin Qing, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth with a wave of their hand.
Fortunately, Lin Qing acted quickly and prevented them from seeing such a bloody scene; otherwise, the entire square would probably have been covered in vomit.
"Alright, the troublesome guys are all gone. You guys go ahead with your work, I'll come back tomorrow." With that, Lin Qing disappeared.
"Respectfully seeing off Senior Dragon King," the Qingyun Sect disciples said respectfully.
The stunned mortals then came to their senses and excitedly shouted, "Respectfully bidding farewell to Senior Dragon King!"
"Alright, alright, now you all come with me to Tongtian Peak. The disciple recruitment ceremony will begin first thing tomorrow morning. As long as you have a respectable family background and good character, you can all join the Qingyun Sect."
Xiao Yicai was very happy to see their excited little expressions, after all, these people might all be his junior brothers tomorrow.
Wang Dagou said excitedly, "Thank you very much, Immortal Master. By the way, was that Dragon King Senior you just met also from the Qingyun Sect? Does the Dragon King Senior accept disciples?"
"Your name is Big Dog, right? Senior Dragon King isn't from our Qingyun Sect. He doesn't accept disciples. Senior Dragon King is a good friend of our Qingyun Sect's guardian spirit beast, the water unicorn 'Lingzun'."
"We've come to visit the Spirit Lord. You're very fortunate; Senior Dragon King has sent you some wonderful gifts," Xiao Yicai explained.
Upon hearing Xiao Yicai's explanation, everyone was somewhat disappointed that such a powerful being would not accept disciples. However, they were happy again when they thought about how they could join the Qingyun Sect to cultivate immortality the next day.
After a junior brother led the future junior brothers to settle in, Xiao Yicai led over a hundred junior brothers down the mountain to verify their information one by one.
Halfway up Qingyun Mountain,
"Oh my god, we almost got caught. Why did such a large group of Qingyun Sect members come down the mountain?"
The guy blended into the trees and only dared to show himself after watching Xiao Yicai and the others leave.
This man was Wan Zhongshan, who came to find an opportunity to kill the experts of Qingyun Sect. If given the chance, he would not mind destroying Qingyun Sect.
Because they needed to enter Qingyun Sect undetected, their crawling speed was exceptionally slow, but at night their speed could increase several times over.
"Hehe, once we wipe out the experts of the Qingyun Sect, plus the thousand brothers led by Liu Xiong, taking down the Qingyun Sect will be no problem at all," Wan Zhongshan thought to himself with a smug smile.
However, while Wan Zhongshan was indulging in his daydreams, the official forum of the entire Infinite World had already exploded.
A video pinned to the top of the forum was none other than Lin Qing beating three thousand players into a pulp.
Since characters have five seconds to separate from their physical bodies after death before being pulled back into the infinite world, it's not surprising that some players recorded videos of this.
"Holy crap, that boss, the Dragon King, is so awesome!"
"Yes, look at the video posted by the poster. The boss turned more than three thousand people into mincemeat in the blink of an eye."
"Please don't blur out the images, thank you. I have anorexia, but seeing those minced meat images made me feel like my appetite came back."
"Third floor pervert, confirmed."
"Third floor pervert, confirmed."
"Haha, you bunch of idiots, you want to slaughter the Qingyun Sect? You're going to make me laugh to death."
"D, it's all [I'm a troublemaker]'s fault for being so foul-mouthed. I didn't want to do anything, and I didn't even do anything, but I still got dragged into this. Now I can't log into the game for 48 hours."
"That's right, that's right. How Qingyun Sect recruits people is none of his business. He just had to come out and talk. Now look what happened, we've all been stuck in 48 hours together."
"How come you guys are saying 48 hours? I was tortured and killed by the Ghost King Sect and it only took 24 hours."
"It might be some kind of special attack, I don't know, all my friends have been in contact for 48 hours."
The entire forum was filled with discussions about Lin Qing's strength and condemnation of the culprit, "I am a troublemaker."
On Liu Xiong's side, with over nine hundred game pods opening simultaneously, Liu Xiong was now in a state of extreme panic.
If Wan Zhongshan found out that all one thousand of them had been wiped out, he would be finished. But there was no other way but to bite the bullet and contact Wan Zhongshan.
While Wan Zhongshan was on YY (a voice chat platform), a red alarm light appeared on his arm. He immediately found a secluded spot and logged off.
"Hiss!" A top-of-the-line luxury gaming pod opened, and Wan Zhongshan stepped out expressionlessly.
Upon seeing that it was Liu Xiong, he immediately smiled and said, "Liu Xiong, it seems that you have all joined the Qingyun Sect. Get ready, I don't want to wait any longer, I will make my move tonight."
Liu Xiong said cautiously, "Well, sir, there's a small problem."
Wan Zhongshan's face instantly darkened: "Hmm? Could it be that there aren't enough people joining the Qingyun Sect to activate the formation?"
A large military formation requires 880 people, and according to Wan Zhongshan's plan, a thousand guards could easily have 880 people climb Qingyun Mountain.
The military formation is an incredibly powerful formation invented by Emperor Mingyu, Wang Batian. Wang Batian has now deduced it to involve 880 people.
This formation can gather the power and magic of everyone to defend, so one person is equivalent to eight hundred and eighty people, and eight hundred and eighty people are equivalent to one person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so confident in slaughtering the Qingyun Sect.
Wan Zhongshan said grimly, "If there are still five groups of basic military formations with eighty-eight people each, our plan remains unchanged."
Liu Xiong's face fell as he said, "Captain, Captain, we originally had over 970 brothers who were supposed to join the Qingyun Sect tomorrow."
"But, but," Liu Xiong hesitated for a long time before finally daring not to say it.
Wan Zhongshan's expression shifted between light and dark: "But what? Can't this form a large army formation? Excellent!"
Liu Xiong said with a wry smile, "But there's a bastard, that bastard 'I am a troublemaker' directly incited more than two thousand players to kill the boss and even slaughter the Qingyun Sect."
"I led my brothers to hide to the side, but who knew that the boss would kill us all in one move. Now all our brothers are outside."
Wan Zhongshan said in disbelief, "What? You're all dead?"
Liu Xiong's legs were already shaking: "Yes, and we will have to wait 48 hours before we can enter the game again."
Wan Zhongshan's face flushed red, veins bulging on his forehead, and without saying a word, he kicked Liu Xiong.
"Bang!"
Liu Xiong was kicked away by Wan Zhongshan and crashed into the wall of the room, creating a large hole as he flew into the training camp center next door.
The more than nine hundred guards looked at each other, staring at Liu Xiong lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, and none of them dared to make a move.
At this moment, an enraged Wan Zhongshan slowly walked out of the cave and stood in front of them.
Chapter 184 You've Got Some Skill (Please Subscribe, Recommend, and Vote for Monthly Tickets)
"You bunch of useless trash, you actually wiped out the whole thing, ruining my plans. You're all going back to the training camp for another three years."
"Liu Xiong, he doesn't need to exist anymore." Wan Zhongshan's right hand suddenly transformed into flames, and a bird's beak appeared within the flames, swallowing Liu Xiong whole. "Hmph, a bunch of useless trash."
Wan Zhongshan returned to his room, then lay down in the game pod and logged into Infinite World.
Lin Qing lay alone on the bed, while the water unicorn lay on its back on the pillow.
"We killed 3,041 players this time, and we still have to kill 6,954 more. If I go find them one by one, I'll be exhausted." Lin Qing's head was spinning from thinking about it.
"It seems this is the only way." Lin Qing planned to leave after watching the Qingyun Sect's disciple-acceptance ceremony tomorrow.
Lin Qing came up with a clumsy idea: to kill the "players" one by one from each sect.
Each sect has dozens or even hundreds of players. If one sect isn't enough, then there are ten or even a hundred. The problem is that if all the players who hear the news run away, it will be a real mess.
However, Lin Qing couldn't think of any other way, so this was the only option.
At the foot of Qingyun Mountain, a figure quietly appeared in the open space. This person was none other than Liu Shui, who had somehow obtained the game pod.
Liu Shui: "We still have to climb a mountain? I'm afraid I won't be able to make it up."
Zhou Hong said speechlessly, "Just climb it. Wan Zhongshan went up the mountain earlier, so we can only go find him first. Otherwise, you can just wait here for him to come down?"
Liu Shui, suffering for 13 years, could only silently climb the mountain. He disliked waiting and would not give up, nor could he give up, even the slightest chance of revenge.
Thinking of her younger sister's lovely smile and her parents' loving gaze, Liu Shui silently shed tears.
Several hours later, Liu Shui, who was exhausted, rested on a rock no bigger than the palm of his hand.
A few minutes later, having regained some strength, Liu Shui continued climbing upwards.
However, Liu Shui still had the energy to climb the mountain, but his hands and feet wouldn't obey him. Suddenly, his feet went light, and Liu Shui fell down.
Liu Shui remained calm as she fell, neither shouting nor crying. It was unclear what she was thinking; perhaps she was once again feeling utterly useless.
"Huh? Aren't you the person from another world who fell down this morning?" Xiao Yicai gently pulled Liu Shuidao back.
"I didn't expect you to still be climbing mountains. Fine, I'll give you a chance. Go to sleep. You can join the Qingyun Sect tomorrow."
Seeing that Liu Shui was already exhausted, Xiao Yicai said a few words and then used magic to put Liu Shui to sleep. He then took Liu Shui back to Qingyun Sect.
Nothing was said that night.
