Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

The body of the crimson dragon was not carried in Zhu Xuan's backpack, but in a Heavenly Rank ring.

This was given to Zhu Xuan so that while the three of them were holding back the other feudal lords, Zhu Xuan could secretly put the treasure inside.

The plan actually worked; they managed to snatch a piece of meat from the mouths of the three tigers.

But now, the meat is gone again...

The thought of the lives of so many soldiers that had been lost made Liu Bei feel a pang of heartache.

In order to avoid upsetting Zhu Xuan, he didn't take it back immediately, but little did he know that this was a fatal mistake!

While Liu Bei was feeling distressed, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already returned.

"That son of a bitch, he just used a random teleportation talisman to escape..." Zhang Fei cursed.

"Brother, we killed three divine generals and seven celestial-rank generals, but one celestial-rank general escaped. The items must have been taken by the escaped one," Guan Yu said solemnly.

"I checked, and those people all dropped Earth-Rank Earth Fiery Silkworm Armor. With such excellent equipment, they must be the assassins of some warlord!" Guan Yu reported with a grim face.

Three divine generals and eight celestial-rank generals—three divine generals and five celestial-rank generals—attacked Liu Bei, the eldest brother, while the other three peak-rank celestial generals attacked Zhu Xuan, the third brother. Their coordination was impeccable, their actions decisive, their objectives clear, and their timing unexpected. This was a meticulously planned ambush!
The so-called item was none other than the red dragon's body they had obtained!

Lin Mu, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu!!
That's right, these three people are absolutely involved in this matter!
"It must be Lin Mu's men!!!" Zhang Fei roared.

"A Rank 1 Earth Fiend Fire Silkworm Set?!" Upon hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes widened, a cold glint flashing within them. Clearly, he knew who owned this item.

Yuan Shu!!!
Unexpectedly, it was Yuan Shu who orchestrated this scheme.

"My lord, who is it?" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei asked in unison.

"The Earth-Rank Earth Fiery Silkworm Set, the equipment of Yuan Gonglu's elite troops!" Liu Bei said solemnly.

"What? It's that filthy scum!!" Zhang Fei's face darkened even more with anger.

"Is it worth exchanging the lives of three divine generals and seven heavenly-ranked warriors?" Guan Yu whispered.

"Hmph! The Yuan family has a deep foundation; they may very well possess a treasure that can revive soldiers!" Liu Bei sneered, a ruthless glint appearing in his eyes.

"Brother, could this be a frame-up by someone else...? It feels very strange," Guan Yu said cautiously.

"It's either Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, or even Lin Mu. They're all bad people. I'll cut off their heads and use them as chairs!!!" Zhang Fei roared.

……

At this moment, in the real world, Zhu Xuan was in a fit of impotent rage, frantically smashing the items in the room. Even the valuable landing pod was shattered by him.

Time and time again, how infuriating!!!
Every time he acquires something special, some unexpected event always occurs... Is he really that unlucky? But he didn't go tomb raiding...

Furthermore, given Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's strength, how could they have been successfully ambushed and killed by three Heavenly Rank generals?! Couldn't they even use a feint?! Or was their attention entirely focused on their sworn brother Liu Bei, and they weren't paying any attention to him at all?!
Despicable! Despicable!!!

Thinking of this, Zhu Xuan's eyes turned red...

"Meeting! Summon all staff officers and elders!" Zhu Xuan roared.

"Yes, young master!" A respectful voice immediately came from outside the door.

Meanwhile, in a small town, Zhang Xueying was being pestered by several of her girlfriends.

"Big sister, I heard you went to see a really, really handsome NPC, is that true? Who is that person? Zhao Yun? But we've met Zhao Yun before, and he was so mysterious about it," Wan'er asked quietly.

"Yeah, yeah, why are you being so mysterious? Tell us already..."

"I can't tell you. I've already told Lin Mu and Ji Beiqin to keep it a secret," Zhang Xueying waved her hand, blushing as she refused.

Guo Jia's existence is currently known only to a few people, including Beitang Xue. It's best not to expose Lin Mu's background for now.

People trusted them so much that they were allowed to meet and talk with Guo Jia; that's a sign of trust!
However, Lin Mu's decision to bring up Guo Jia clearly indicated that he had made some preparations. He wanted to avoid revealing anything if possible... at least not something that came from her without Lin Mu's consent.

Zhang Xueying's rejection only fueled the girls' curiosity... They pressed her for answers, using every interrogation technique imaginable, but nothing worked.

"Alright, let's get to work. There are 1,500 households here, worth one and a half spots for learning cultivation techniques..." Zhang Xueying could only steer the conversation back to the main topic. "We've exchanged quite a few spots this time, enough for everyone's family members," Zhang Xueying said.

"Oh well, if you don't want to say, then don't. There will be other opportunities. I'll go ask Brother Lin Mu later..."

"Do you think Lin Mu really has that many study slots? What kind of treasure has he manifested...? The slots seem to be endless..."

"Don't pry into Lin Mu's background. Let's just focus on doing our own thing and not compare ourselves to him, or we'll be the ones who get hurt."

"Kill!!!" Just then, a battle cry suddenly rang out from the mountains and forests, and then, countless soldiers poured out of the mountains and forests and attacked their troops.

"Damn it, they're from the Heaven and Hell Guild!" Everyone exclaimed in shock.

"Brothers of the Heaven and Hell Guild, we are from Fairy Tale Town. I know your guild leader. Don't let the flood wash away the dragon king's temple." Zhang Xueying immediately shouted.

"Hmph! We're going to kill you women!" A cold snort came from the charging ranks.

After that, they showed no mercy and the two sides started fighting each other.

In order to maximize efficiency, Zhang Xueying did not bring many troops to plunder this town, but she did not expect to be ambushed by other players.

Thus, under duress and ambushes, the resistance of the soldiers in Fairy Tale Town quickly faltered...

Just as Zhang Xueying was in despair, a burly figure suddenly descended from the sky, wielding a long spear like a serpent, relentlessly reaping her enemies.

"General Yu Jin!!!" Zhang Xueying exclaimed upon seeing the man.

Unexpectedly, the one who came to the rescue was this historical general, the historical general belonging to Lin Mu!

Then, several more terrifying generals rushed out and quickly slaughtered the soldiers.

Sensing something was wrong, the Heaven and Hell Guild immediately retreated... Yu Jin and the others didn't even give chase. After nodding to Zhang Xueying in farewell, they led their subordinates and disappeared in blue shadows.

"Quick...we need to leave quickly..." Zhang Xueying urged.

A bitter feeling welled up in her heart at that moment. Things had been going too well lately, and she had become a little arrogant.

This situation was absolutely avoidable, yet we've fallen into such a desperate predicament; it's truly laughable.

Zhang Xueying and her friends were all in low spirits, silently reflecting on their situation.

In the dense forest ahead, Yu Jin and the others stopped.

A short while later, a man in black hurriedly arrived in the dense forest to meet him.

"General Yu Jin, the Dragon Ring Bracelet is now entrusted to you."

"Thank you for your hard work..." Yu Jin said solemnly, looking at the man in black.

"It's not hard work. The three Heavenly Armor Generals and the other seven colleagues deserve the most credit this time," the man in black said in a deep voice.

That's right, the one who forcibly killed Zhu Xuan was Lin Mu's man!

He could accept that the items were taken by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, or even Liu Bei, but he was very unhappy that they were taken by Zhu Xuan, which is why he set up this scheme in advance.

This time, not only did the Night Shadow Division deploy the elite troops from the top ranks of the Heavenly Armor, but Yu Jin also led a group to ambush the second wave, bringing with him a considerable amount of equipment.

Unexpectedly, the first ambush was successful.

It's clear that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei truly focused all their attention on Liu Bei and Zhu Xuan, and nothing else...

"Mission accomplished, I'm off now." With that, the man in black vanished cleanly and efficiently...

"They've really suffered." Behind Yu Jin, Shan Gong's figure came into view.

The second wave of ambushes aimed at killing Zhu Xuan was not led by Yu Jin, but by Shan Gong! His divine domain was a powerful weapon for killing targets.

"The temporary mission is complete. Let's go, we can return to our posts now." Yu Jin put the bracelet on his wrist and led the group away. (End of Chapter)
