Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

However, the other players at this moment were unaware of the battlefield's cruelty and terror. Many were eager to fight Hua Xiong. Whether they could withstand a single round was irrelevant. Even Yu She, who angrily gave up his first blood, couldn't withstand a single round, but Yu She still managed to 'make a name for himself,' earning his place in the hearts of many.

Players requested to participate in the battle with this mindset.

"Yuan Shao, you little brat, your vanguard general's red turban is right here. Do you dare send someone up to challenge you and take it back?" Just then, Hua Xiong's rough and arrogant voice rang out, echoing in the sky.

Upon hearing this, all the feudal lords looked at the silent Sun Jian. However, Sun Jian remained as immovable as Mount Tai, his expression unchanged.

"Buzz!~~~~~" Just then, a terrifying wave rippled out.

Everyone sensed it and felt a jolt throughout their bodies.

"Clang!~~~~~~" Suddenly, the sound of bells rang out from the sky.

As if sensing something, Yuan Shao immediately shouted, "Open the palace roof!"

As Yuan Shao gave the order, the luxurious canopy above everyone's heads quickly opened, revealing the sky.

At this moment, the sky was ablaze with rosy light, and strange, ethereal music slowly rose from it.

The sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes howling began to fill the air.

Wisps of purple mist filled the entire sky, an auspicious sight.

However, that wasn't all; suddenly, a golden light appeared in the purple sky. The light shot out like a golden ray, slowly appearing in the sky.

In an instant, the light and shadow solidified, revealing the body of the divine deer!
This is the divine deer that appeared during the blood oath ceremony of the allied forces!

Because it was carrying that divine sword in its mouth—the Crimson Sky Divine Sword!

The Sword-wielding Deer has reappeared!!!

At that moment, everyone suddenly stood up and stared intently at the divine deer in the sky.

The same was true for Hua Xiong and the others who had been shouting.

All the feudal lords knew that this was a sacred moment, and Hua Xiong's challenge was of extraordinary significance!

The more this is the case, the more excited many become. The real grand stage has begun!!
Seeing this, Lin Mu frowned slightly: "Such a thing never happened in my previous life. It seems that there may be another change on the battlefield."

Just as everyone was marveling at the strange phenomenon in the sky, a strategist on the wall of Hulao Pass suddenly changed his expression.

"A terrible omen, a terrible omen!" the strategist muttered, head bowed.

"Wenhe, what are you muttering about?" At this moment, Zhang Ji's familiar voice rang out.

That strategist was none other than Jia Xu!

"Generals, obey the order and return to the capital, or your lives will be in danger." Upon hearing this, Jia Xu's face showed a hint of struggle, but he still gave the three of them a piece of advice.

Besides Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu also had Xu Rong by his side.

"Wenhe, didn't you say before that we would be tainted with boundless karma and wanted us to stay here? Why did you change your mind?" Zhang Ji knew Jia Xu wasn't the type to joke around, so he asked with a serious expression. As he spoke, he glanced warily at Li Su and the others not far away.

Jia Xu had previously advised them not to return to Luoyang, because their lord Dong Zhuo was about to unleash immense calamities there, and returning would only bring them the same consequences. So they stayed near Hulao Pass.

How could Jia Xu, who was seeking refuge at Hulao Pass a moment ago, change his mind and return to the capital to incur boundless karma?
"Life and death are the most important things. What does karma matter if you lose your life?!" Jia Xu said in a low voice with a gloomy expression.

"We have to go!" Jia Xu said earnestly.

"Then let's reorganize our troops and leave Hulao Pass." Zhang Ji still trusted Jia Xu a lot and immediately followed his advice, pulling Zhang Xiu away as they turned to leave.

"Will Hulao Pass be breached?" Xu Rong asked with a sigh, gazing at the mountain-like camps outside the city.

“It was destined to be defeated from the very beginning. My lord and Wenyou anticipated its defeat from the start,” Jia Xu said quietly after a moment of contemplation.

Upon hearing this, Xu Rong nodded and left expressionlessly.

Hulao Pass was bound to fall, yet Jia Xu still chose to seek refuge here, proving that things here weren't too bad, and also proving that the karma of Luoyang, the capital, was terrifying. But now that Jia Xu has changed his mind, it proves that the karma of Luoyang is not as terrifying as this place!
Then what's there to say? Let's retreat!

Jia Xu glanced deeply at the area outside the city, then disappeared into the crowd.

Li Su and others, who were not far away, also sensed Zhang Ji and Xu Rong's condition.

Lord Dong Zhuo originally intended to summon Zhang Ji, Xu Rong, and others back to Luoyang to help, so their departure is not a big deal.

"The hidden formation can be activated now!" Li Su instructed his adjutant. "Yes, sir!" The adjutant acknowledged the order and quickly left to set up the formation.

Just as Lin Mu and the others were looking at the sky, a strange wave of light rippled out from under the black horse that Hua Xiong was riding in front of Hulao Pass.

As this wave of light began to spread, a hidden halo also began to spread out...

At the same time, a grand announcement resounded in the ears of Lin Mu and other players:

"--Ding!"

"--Announcement of the Special Battlefield for the Heroes Against Dong Zhuo: The sky is vast enough to hold ten thousand men, and the banners below are countless. Celestial music lingers, and purple aura fills the sky, yet it is also a calamity of life! Due to the fulfillment of hidden conditions, the special battlefield for the Heroes Against Dong Zhuo has been activated. All participants in this battle will be exempt from all resurrection rules, and once they die, they will perish permanently. When a player dies, their physical body and soul will collapse and die."

"..."

"..."

Three announcements were slowly announced.

Upon hearing the announcement, Lin Mu was startled, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

There was no such announcement in the previous life. At most, this battlefield restricted the resurrection of the natives, but now, even the players are being restricted!
Once a player dies in a duel, their physical body in the real world also dies—that means they are truly dead!
Even with his many trump cards, Lin Mu couldn't help but feel a sense of dread and caution.

This forced him to take it seriously... He originally wanted to go on stage and make a name for himself, even wanting Huang Zhong to step in and stop Guan Yu from making a name for himself. As for the Three Heroes vs. Lü Bu, he even considered summoning Dian Wei and Taishi Ci to have a three-way battle against Lü Bu in the vast wilderness.

Previously, when he was in the Great Cave Heaven, he didn't want to follow the system and wanted to change the course of events. Not just wanted to, he had already taken action; before coming here, Lin Mu had sent a message to He Manli of the Muhuang Group. He Manli was currently on the border of Bingzhou and could send a message to Dian Wei, instructing her to notify him to come to Hulao Pass.

Summoning Dian Wei was to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances. If anything were to happen, they could always go to the top of the Great Wilderness territory. Dian Wei was already on his way.

Now, Lin Mu had somewhat given up on those thoughts. He had a nagging feeling that the rule preventing players from resurrecting was targeting him, that someone might be plotting something behind the scenes, or perhaps it was specifically aimed at him…

"I wonder if there's someone behind this. If not, are these harsh conditions from the system meant to make the process run more smoothly? Heh... quite a move." Lin Mu sighed inwardly.

At that moment, another announcement was made:
"--Ding!"

"--Announcement of the Special Battlefield for the Heroes Against Dong Zhuo: With a capacity of over ten thousand above and a banner of immeasurable height below, auspicious omens descend from the heavens, a divine deer holds a sword, and the lords vie for supremacy. Due to fulfilling hidden conditions, the special battlefield for the Heroes Against Dong Zhuo has been activated. All participants in this duel (regardless of victory or defeat, rewards will be given after the battle) will receive: Tiger Luck +50, Ox Luck +50, National Legendary Points +20, Reputation +100000000. The lord of the participating player will receive: Dragon Luck +5, and Lord's Luck +1000. If a lord who has received the quest to ascend to the Lord's Ranking participates in the duel, their progress will be immediately maxed out, allowing them to ascend to the ranking. If Hua Xiong is defeated, the winner will directly receive: Tiger Luck +200, Ox Luck +200, National Legendary Points +50, Reputation +1000000000. Matching their own divine weapon, the winning lord will also receive: Dragon Luck +10."

"..."

"..."

Three more grand announcements rang in the ears of all players on the Hulao Pass battlefield.

No, it wasn't just the players; the natives also heard this divine voice at this moment!

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and the others all had their eyes gleaming with greed. Their gazes towards the divine deer had never been so green before.

The sword-wielding divine deer can only be admired from afar and cannot be obtained, but the reward of the Heavenly Voice is readily available!
"How can the reward be so outrageous??!!!" Lin Mu's expression changed slightly after hearing the system announcement.

The rewards announced by the system are too generous! He was really tempted!

"My lord!" At this moment, Huang Zhong, Wang Yue, and Le Jin, who were behind Lin Mu, all called out softly to Lin Mu.

Their meaning is clear: they have to fight for it!
The way of destiny is to strive!

Huang Zhong had already summoned his divine blade and was holding it in his hand. After the allied forces had reached a consensus, he was the first to volunteer for battle. As for the terrifying possibility of permanent annihilation, he felt no fear whatsoever!

At this moment, Lin Mu hesitated. With Huang Zhong's strength, Hua Xiong should be easy to defeat, but he felt there was some unforeseen hurdle...

Just moments ago, he had even considered personally taking the field and using his trump card to defeat Hua Xiong. But at that moment, a chill ran through him, as if something terrible was about to happen…

"Hold on, don't panic!!" Lin Mu's mind jolted, and he secretly controlled his greed.

Meanwhile, in a courtyard inside Hulao Pass, Li Ru frowned slightly as he looked at the three elderly men with sweat dripping down their faces: "Failed?"

"Using the opportunity of the Yongzhou Cauldron to guide the Liangzhou Cauldron is still a little short. The Yongzhou Cauldron is too damaged!" A purple-robed old man said with a look of fatigue on his face.

“Although we can’t rouse Lin Mu, if Lin Mu himself can’t help but move out and enter the formation, we will have another opportunity to suppress Liang Zhou Ding and take his head!” A white-robed old man said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Li Ru frowned deeply again. He had a feeling that these three were extremely unreliable...

Such matters require taking the initiative to succeed. Acting solely based on someone else's wishes effectively puts the initiative in their hands, leading to too many variables. (End of Chapter)
