Chapter 200: The Inside Man
This message caused a huge stir in the Sect.
We’ve all been playing the game for so long, and there have been unlucky players who died unexpectedly, like ‘Zhen Weida’.
But being chased by disciples from another Sect, that’s a first.
In an instant, the Sect Channel became extremely lively.
【 Fan Guozhou: What’s going on? Are you still alive? 】
【 Han Tian: It can’t be that bad, brother, use emergency teleportation! Don’t be stingy with money at a time like this! 】
【 Ye Xuan: See, I told you the Fierce Eagle Sect and the Flying Sparrow Sect had a feud. I didn’t expect them to chase and kill even our affiliated Sect disciples! 】
【 Qi Zuo: How outrageous! To dare kill a disciple of our Longevity Sect, we will pursue you to the ends of the earth and avenge you! 】
【 Daoist Priest: How dare the Fierce Eagle Sect! 】
【 Gu Yunxi: I heard that the Sect Master of the Fierce Eagle Sect is currently at the Late Golden Core Stage… It’s rumored he might be breaking through to Nascent Soul. Once he advances to Nascent Soul, the entire Sect’s status will likely rise significantly! 】
【 Qi Zuo: …Then let’s endure for now. A gentleman’s revenge is never too late, even after ten years! 】
【 Yang Meimei: If things really go south, brother, try harder next time you’re competing for recruitment qualifications. Come back strong like Brother Zhen, and you’ll be a hero again in half a year! 】
Of course, no matter what they said, Jiang Lianhan, who sent the message, didn’t send any more messages.
The main reason was that his thoughts couldn’t be focused on the Sect Channel at all right now.
At this moment, on First Mountain, the System remained silent.
Standing before Jiang Lianhan was a disciple of the Fierce Eagle Sect, wearing brown clothing embroidered with a giant eagle.
This disciple was also handsome and well-dressed.
He looked coldly at Jiang Lianhan and said, “You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit—”
Jiang Lianhan’s face was pressed into the ground by a magic spell, yet he stubbornly said, gritting his teeth, “A scholar can be killed, but not disgraced!”
Even if I’m just playing a game, I want to be the most principled Player!
“Oh, your bones are this hard?” The Fierce Eagle Sect disciple raised an eyebrow. “I merely wanted you to be an informant, to relay some information about the Flying Sparrow Sect to me, and you—”
“What?” Jiang Lianhan suddenly looked up, his face filled with panic. “Big brother, is that what you just said? You started hitting me as soon as I said I wasn’t from the Flying Sparrow Sect!!”
And you were going for the kill!
And then you suddenly mentioned being an informant.
You should have said so earlier.
What’s wrong with being a spy? Players have no principles whatsoever.
The key was that the other party had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, while he was just a Mid Qi Condensation ant who couldn’t win.
He could only swallow his pride.
“Oh, is that so?” The Fierce Eagle Sect disciple was clearly not entirely sane, raising his eyebrows and saying, “Then I must have forgotten.”
Jiang Lianhan: “…”
You beastly, turtle-son, mentally ill scoundrel!
The System also spoke coldly, “Can you curse them out bravely? Or do you only keep these thoughts in your heart for me to hear?”
Jiang Lianhan, channeling Honghuang: “I dare not!”
System: “…”
Seeing that Jiang Lianhan’s expression was no longer as defiant as before, the Fierce Eagle Sect disciple, Zhang Xiuwen, looked at Jiang Lianhan and said, “You say you are not a disciple of the Flying Sparrow Sect, so why were you with someone from the Flying Sparrow Sect?”
“I… I am indeed not from the Flying Sparrow Sect. I am a disciple of the Longevity Sect, an affiliated Sect of the Flying Sparrow Sect.”
“Longevity Sect?”
Zhang Xiuwen indeed hadn’t heard of it. After a moment of thought, he suddenly sneered again, “It’s even better if you’re an affiliated Sect disciple. Do you want to live?”
Of course!
Jiang Lianhan appeared somewhat hesitant. “You said earlier that you wanted me to be an informant for the Flying Sparrow Sect?”
“Yes,” Zhang Xiuwen said. “I want you to gather information about their Sect Master’s travels.”
After saying that, Zhang Xiuwen suddenly flicked his finger, and a strange black light shot into Jiang Lianhan’s body.
“This is my Soul Splitting Bone Piercing Thread. No matter where you are, with just a thought from me, you will wish you were dead.”
Jiang Lianhan: “…”
System: “Don’t be afraid! It’s about changing bodies! But don’t show it, pretend for him.”
Jiang Lianhan immediately became less timid.
But players seemed to have acting skills readily available once they entered the game. Jiang Lianhan put on a look of terror. “I… I can’t beat you anyway, so I’ll definitely listen to you. Was it necessary for you to do this?”
“Hmph, I can’t trust people from your Flying Sparrow Sect,” Zhang Xiuwen said contemptuously, looking at Jiang Lianhan, who was only at Mid Qi Condensation. “You’d better take my words to heart. I’ll be waiting for you at the Cave Demon Valley post in a month. If you don’t come, you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”
Jiang Lianhan put on a look of utter despair, truly making one see his hopelessness at a glance.
System: “Where did you get your acting training?”
Jiang Lianhan: “I’m a small actor in real life, hehe.”
System: “…”
Jiang Lianhan said, “But how can I, a Mid-stage disciple, gather information about the Flying Sparrow Sect Master’s whereabouts?…”
“That depends on whether you can bring back some valuable information.”
After saying this, Zhang Xiuwen didn’t even glance at Jiang Lianhan again.
He directly stepped onto his Flying Magic Treasure and left.
Only then did Jiang Lianhan breathe a sigh of relief.
So he wanted me to be an informant.
He should have said so earlier!
Jiang Lianhan sent a message on the Sect Channel.
【 Jiang Lianhan: Thank you to all my elders, fellow countrymen, brothers, sisters, sirs, and madams for your concern. I’m fine now. This lunatic from the Fierce Eagle Sect was indeed going to kill me, but halfway through, he asked me to be an informant, responsible for feeding him information about the Flying Sparrow Sect. I will definitely make him pay! 】
【 Han Tian: The fact that you’re still alive proves you agreed. 】
【 Zhou Baobao: A man of honor, and you agreed to be an informant? Where is your manliness? You should have died gloriously, like a warrior! 】
【 Jiang Lianhan: If this game didn’t prevent gender changes, I would have played a female character back then! Go to hell with your glorious death. My Game Account is more important than my life. 】
【 Qi Zuo: … 】
【 Gu Yunxi: Why would the Fierce Eagle Sect pick a fight with the Flying Sparrow Sect for no reason? They had a feud before, but haven’t they been coexisting peacefully for over a decade? 】
【 Hao Kan: I’ve been hanging out with outer disciples of the Flying Sparrow Sect daily. I’ve heard some rumors. Apparently, the Spirit Fox Sect’s annihilation by Demonic Cultivators has something to do with the Fierce Eagle Sect. They don’t dare to say it directly, but they suspect the Fierce Eagle Sect might have cooperated with the Demonic Cultivators. The next target might truly be the Flying Sparrow Sect. 】
【 Chen Miaomiao: Huh? There’s news like that? 】
【 Zhou Baobao: Wow, Miaomiao Big Shot, photo op, photo op!! 】
【 Gu Yunxi: Holy crap, it’s so rare to see Miaomiao Big Shot speak. Hurry, photo op, photo op!! 】
【 Lin Baobao: Miaomiao Big Shot, you are my idol, you are my heart, you are my liver!! 】
【 Han Tian: … 】
【 Yang Meimei: So, none of you care that Jiang Lianhan is acting as a spy? 】
