Is the closed beta test of King of Loque over? The official release is here!

Even if they manage to win, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Meanwhile, an official team in relatively good condition was watching from behind.

Continuing to fight will only bring harm and no benefit.

"...Stop."

Liu Zhicheng closed his eyes and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.

His voice was very soft, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

The Cloud Sea Guild's pets stopped attacking and were gradually taken back into the Gulu Ball.

The battle is over.

Liu Zhicheng opened his eyes and stared intently at Xie Yun.

There was no gratitude, no relief in that gaze.

Only an undisguised ill will.

"Xie Yun".

He called out the other person's name directly, his voice deep and resonant, as if it came from the ground.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you officials going to interfere in the affairs of our Yunhai Guild?"

Xie Yun's expression remained unchanged.

Liu Zhicheng continued, "Or is it that you can't stand to see us taking benefits?"

"Or—" a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth, "you also want a piece of the pie?"

The three questions were increasingly pointed.

In response to these words, Xie Yun simply shook his head.

"Six teams, six branches, one set for each person."

Xie Yun's voice was so calm, as if he were stating a very simple fact.

"That makes perfect sense."

Why would you do such a thing?

Don't you think the methods used were too despicable?

The word "despicable" was like a slap in the face to Liu Zhicheng.

His face flushed instantly, and his eyes were practically spitting fire with rage.

"Stop spouting nonsense from your moral high ground!"

Liu Zhicheng stepped forward, his chest heaving violently, and his voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"Here—it's all about skill! A bet's a bet!"

“I have twelve men, and he only has three. It’s only right that I beat him up!”

"Who do you think you are? You think you can control everything and even the Yunhai Guild?"

Liu Zhicheng's words were extremely harsh.

Although he knew Xie Yun was an official, he was so enraged at that moment that he couldn't care less about such things.

Moreover, in his view, the official authority within the secret realm is limited. Everyone is judged by their abilities.

But Xie Yun was not angered by these words.

He simply stared at Liu Zhicheng, his gaze as calm as a stagnant pool.

Then--

He spoke.

He spoke slowly, but every word he uttered was powerful and resonant.

"Each relies on their own abilities? A bet is a bet, and the loser must accept the consequences?"

"If that's the case—"

Xie Yun's gaze slowly swept over the members of the Cloud Sea Guild and the Dharma Elder Guild.

"I'm taking advantage of your weakened state now and will wipe you all out with my men."

"You guys—have no objections either?"

The sound wasn't loud.

But the effect was like a thunderclap.

Liu Zhicheng opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Xu Fei's face turned deathly pale, and he subconsciously took a half step back.

They had considered this possibility.

But when Xie Yunzhen said those words, the feeling was completely different.

Xie Yun's official team consists of six people, and their pets are in much better condition than they are.

And what about their Cloud Sea Guild?

Several of our main pets have already been defeated, and the rest are left with low health and mana.

If a fight really breaks out—

They didn't even have a chance to fight back.

At the French Consulate, Lin Sen adjusted his glasses and remained silent.

He was actually glad he left early.

Otherwise, he would have had to accept Xie Yun's words anyway.

Silence spread.

The scene was so quiet that you could hear the leaves rustling in the breeze.

A moment later, Xie Yun withdrew the sharp glint from his gaze.

He did not continue to apply pressure.

He looked up—

My gaze passed through the dense branches of the fourth layer and looked up to a position even higher.

There, the light of the fifth layer's barrier could be faintly seen.

"Do you know what restrictions there are for passing through the fifth layer of the barrier?"

Xie Yun suddenly changed the subject.

This turn of events came too suddenly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Do you know what the fifth floor is like?

Xie Yun asked another question.

Still, no one answered.

Because no one has gone up there to see it.

Everyone was still locked in fierce battle with their respective guardian spirits on the fourth floor. Although Mo Fan and his companions were the first to defeat the guardian spirits, they were immediately surrounded and attacked, and thus had no chance to go up and investigate.

Xie Yun's gaze swept across everyone's faces.

"I just went up to check."

His voice was steady, yet carried a rare hint of solemnity.

"The fifth layer of barrier - has no level restrictions."

Upon hearing this, many people showed expressions of surprise.

No level restrictions? Does that mean anyone can go up?

But Xie Yun's next words froze everyone's expressions.

"but--"

"The notification indicates that the final guardian will appear on the fifth floor."

The ultimate guardian.

The moment those five words were uttered, the temperature in the air seemed to drop by several degrees.

If the guardian spirits of the first four levels are already this troublesome, then what level will the final guardian of the fifth level be?

The same thought crossed everyone's mind at the same time.

Mo Fan's gaze sharpened slightly.

The final guardian.

The fourth floor's Gold and Silver Sheep were already difficult enough to deal with. A pair of boss-level guardian spirits with 2000 HP each, locked onto each other, and possessing a healing mechanism. It took the three of them a long time to barely defeat them.

The final guardian—

It's probably not something one or two teams can handle.

Xie Yun had obviously thought of this as well.

He looked at Liu Zhicheng, then at Lin Sen, and finally glanced in Mo Fan's direction.

"We need to defeat the final guardian to obtain the fruit from the fifth level."

"So—one more team means one more force."

His tone was calm, but the meaning behind his words couldn't be clearer.

"If we start fighting right here..."

Xie Yun shook his head slightly.
