"--bite!"

"—Announcement from the Huaxia Region: The Taiyin binds the dragon court in darkness, and purple qi descends upon Chang'an for ten thousand miles. The epic historical storyline [The Chain Scheme to Kill Dong Zhuo] in the Huaxia Region has officially begun. Due to the detection that the number of players in the area from Mei County to Chang'an City is less than 10,000, faction selection will not be available throughout the entire Han Dynasty for the time being. If the number of players in the area where the epic storyline takes place surges within ten days, faction selection will be available again at any time. All players who participate in this epic historical storyline will receive an initial reputation bonus of +100000 points and an additional 'Bull's Luck' buff; the rewards for the epic historical storyline series of quests will be tripled; and those who contribute more than 1% to the main quest: Killing Dong Zhuo will receive an additional 'Dragon's Luck'." The rewards are as follows: "Ten Tiger Lucks, two-tier aptitude upgrade, and destiny upgrade; those who contribute 1% or more to the slaying of Wang Yun will receive one Dragon Luck, ten Tiger Lucks, two-tier aptitude upgrade, and destiny upgrade; those who contribute 1% or more to the slaying of Lü Bu will receive twenty Dragon Lucks, two hundred Tiger Lucks, two-tier aptitude upgrade, and destiny upgrade; those who capture or kill Diao Chan will receive twenty Dragon Lucks, five hundred Tiger Lucks, two-tier aptitude upgrade, and destiny upgrade. Note 1: The above rewards have an upper limit; the highest aptitude is level nine, and the destiny cannot exceed the current number of Destiny Palaces. Note 2: This historical event is extremely special and dangerous, but the rewards are extremely generous. Players are advised to consider carefully before participating!"

"..."

"..."

Three grand announcements from the China region resounded in the ears of all players in the China region.

However, this time, fewer than 10,000 people participated in the epic historical storyline, perhaps even fewer than that…

The six exclamation mark warnings Lin Mu gave were incredibly powerful!

Such an important epic historical storyline, yet not countless players participated. It's absolutely outrageous! It's ridiculously absurd!
Many players didn't react much to the announcement, as news of its danger had already spread, and players who made a living in the vicinity had temporarily left Sili.

Because they were truly afraid!

This is also the first time that a historical storyline has occurred without much player participation.

"The abdication ceremony is about to begin!" Lin Mu, who was in the Situ Mansion, had just finished saying this when the announcement from the China region rang in his ears.

"This announcement for the China region is so long?!" Lin Mu had heard of this epic historical event announcement in his previous life, but it wasn't this long. Back then, the faction selection started directly, and the Dong Zhuo faction was available. At that time, players naively thought they could change Dong Zhuo's fate, and many arrogant players chose the Dong Zhuo faction. However, they ended up losing everything. Wang Yun's subsequent purge was even more terrible than Dong Zhuo's. Many players were completely wiped out and had to start all over again.

Furthermore, the rewards weren't tripled, and the rewards for killing the four main characters—Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Lü Bu, and Diao Chan—were not announced either…

This time, everything has changed... It seems that the lack of player participation has led to corresponding changes in the system's announcements.

He altered many historical processes and events, changed the power structure of the Han Dynasty and the ownership of prefectures and counties, and indeed had a significant impact on the current historical plot, but the main storyline remained unchanged.

"Killing Wang Yun also grants a Dragon Luck reward... It seems Wang Yun truly represents the fate of the Han Dynasty... The Liu family must have secretly placed a heavy bet on him!!" Lin Mu looked at the reward information in the announcement and immediately analyzed a key piece of information.

Liu Yan, Liu Yu, Liu Biao, Liu Yao, and other outstanding members of the Liu family must have been secretly supporting Wang Yun!

"Hehe... The reward for capturing or killing Diao Chan is so generous... It's a free reward!!" Lin Mu grinned when he saw the last reward message.

The core of the Great Wilderness Territory's current strategy is Diao Chan, without exception!

He didn't mind even if killing Dong Zhuo didn't contribute much to his career.

"We still need to wait a bit. It will take Dong Zhuo about ten days to travel from Mei County to Chang'an. The plan will begin on the fifth day."

"At that time, the schemes of Lü Bu, Wang Yun, Cao Cao and others also began... I don't know if Yuan Shu has made any moves yet..." Lin Mu murmured softly.

Just then, a system notification sounded in Lin Mu's ear:
"--bite!"

"—System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, you have participated in the epic historical storyline of the China region, 'The Chain Scheme to Kill Dong Zhuo,' gaining +100000 reputation points and an extra 'Bull's Luck.'" Wow, I'm already receiving the rewards for the terrible initial stage.

If you escape Chang'an City now and get away from the location where the story takes place, you will still get this reward and it will not be taken back by the system.

However, Lin Mu didn't even invite players from Muhuang Group and Dahuang Guild, which clearly showed that he was somewhat wary.

If you get yourself into a quagmire for this small reward, that would be terrible.

The entire city of Chang'an is definitely riddled with deadly traps, and all sorts of terrifying formations have been secretly set up long ago. Once they are unleashed, ordinary players simply cannot withstand them.

Everyone knows that Dong Zhuo can be resurrected, so the arrangement of the Death Ground is definitely meant to limit his resurrection!

"Da da!~~~"

"Quickly... retreat!!" At this moment, a series of panicked shouts came from outside.

As time went on, whether it was because the snakes were too powerful or something else, the people of the Situ family were retreating in a steady and orderly manner.

"My lord, it seems the people from the Situ Mansion are evacuating. They're all heading towards the North Gate." At this moment, Dian Wei walked in from outside and reported.

"Hehe... Prince Master, you still don't have the same determination as Xiang Yu to burn your boats." Upon hearing Dian Wei's report, Lin Mu slowly stood up, went to the window, looked at the clear sky outside, and smiled faintly.

The evacuation of the Situ Mansion was thought to be impossible, but it still happened after the ceremony began, proving that Wang Yun was not determined to die in order to achieve his goal of killing Dong Zhuo.

As Lin Mu had predicted, the Wang family members quickly withdrew from the Situ Mansion and then left Chang'an City via a teleportation array.

Because of the snake attack, the garrison in Chang'an and the Xiliang army did not pay attention to the entry and exit of other people. They were all focused on eliminating the snakes. The more snakes Fan Ruo killed, the greater his merit would be!

"If they don't have the determination to burn their bridges, then they must have left room for maneuver regarding the abdication... I hope Wang Yun won't run away with Liu Xie... If something changes, they might not allow Dong Zhuo to perform the most important ceremony of the abdication ceremony."

"No... Dong Zhuo and his men couldn't possibly be unaware of Liu Xie's importance. There's virtually no chance they could escape with him!"

"Wang Yun, in this situation, what would you do? Abandon Liu Xie?"

"If I were in his position, what would I do? He has the support of outstanding members of the Liu family like Liu Yan, Liu Yu, Liu Biao, and Liu Yao… With their support… Hiss! ~~~~"

Suddenly, Lin Mu thought of a terrifying possibility and gasped!
"Wang Yun has the intention to kill the emperor!!!" Lin Mu slammed his fist on the windowsill, causing the entire room to tremble.

"My lord, no way?!" Dian Wei's expression changed upon hearing his lord Lin Mu's words.

“Wang Yun is not in the mansion; he must have gone to the palace!” Lin Mu said with certainty, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"If truly driven to a dead end, Wang Yun will kill Liu Xie, take Liu Xie's destiny, leave Chang'an, and pass it on to the new emperor!!!" Lin Mu suddenly opened his eyes, speaking with unwavering resolve. (End of Chapter)
