Chapter 1 Grima's Great Adventure

As this information appeared, everyone received a phantom note.

The Master-level item, Grima's Great Adventure, sounded like something from a foreign profession. Where did the Pure Yang Sect Leader get it? Zhang Yuanqing also received a phantom note, a blank one.

He held the note for a few seconds, and the item information surfaced:

【Name: Voting Note】
【Type: Consumable】
【Function: Voting】
【Introduction: A consumable produced by the Grima's Great Adventure game. Hold the note and stare at the person you choose for more than ten seconds to cast your vote.】
【Note: Grima's Great Adventure is truly an interesting game.】

By the time he finished reading the item's attributes, everyone else had grasped how to use the note. A female guest turned her head, looking around, and said with a slightly bewildered tone, "Who... who should I vote for?"

"Don't look at me, everyone lower your gaze and don't look at people randomly."

"Be careful not to accidentally cast your vote."

The clamor rose, and many people consciously lowered their gazes, avoiding looking at their companions, or letting their eyes wander without stopping. Everyone present was an official Xingzhe, experienced, and although somewhat flustered, they hadn't lost their composure.

Liu Zhiyi looked around wildly and said loudly:

"We're trapped inside a Master-level item, the danger is even greater than a dungeon. At least dungeons offer a chance of survival through decryption, but items are unreasonable.

"I propose that everyone vote for the waiters, pick two at random, and we can compensate their families after we get out. If we can't get out, then everyone will die, what difference does it make who dies first?"

The guests looked at each other, briefly exchanging glances, before lowering their eyes again.

"Perhaps, we can use defensive items to resist? Why must we follow the game's instructions, we should resist," someone said.

Orderly professions have higher moral standards.

A Saint shook his head and said, "It's useless, unless it's a defensive item of the same level, it's meaningless." Saints, in front of Master-level items, were not exactly ants, but they weren't much better.

"Then... then I have nothing to say," the person who suggested resisting fell silent.

"If everyone has no objections, shall we start voting? There are only three minutes, voting for the waiters is better than randomly eliminating two of us," Liu Zhiyi said.

Miao Teng'er frowned. As a Wood Sprite, she was gentle by nature, and the waiters were hired by her, so she couldn't bear to see them become sacrifices. But she knew she couldn't go against the majority, and she felt rather dejected.

Her gaze swept around, and she saw Lingjun and Yuanshi Tianzun walking around the tabletop game, their eyes bright, completely ignoring the voting.

"What are you looking at?"

She approached and said in a low voice, "They're going to vote to kill the waiters, do you two have any way to stop it?"

"No way," Lingjun continued to examine the tabletop game, and said, "When a group is threatened, sacrificing the pawns to protect the king is the right thing to do. Although it's cruel, kindness in a crisis is meaningless, it will only hold you back."

"Kindness is always meaningful, but upholding kindness requires power." Zhang Yuanqing sighed, "Cracking this Master-level item, or finding the Pure Yang Sect Leader, is the best way to show kindness. What have you found?"

Lingjun shook his head, "I'm trying to figure out what profession's item it is, but I can't tell. It's not from around here anyway. What about you?"

Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice:

"I can roughly guess its origin. The Chairman still has two items that haven't been found, one is number 2, and the other is number 9. This *Grima's Great Adventure* should be one of them. I didn't expect it to be obtained by the Pure Yang Sect Leader.

"You saw the information just now, right? This item has a safe time. From the discovery that the clubhouse was sealed to the end of the countdown, it's probably ten minutes. In other words, we have ten minutes of safety.

"After this vote ends, we must find the Pure Yang Sect Leader within ten minutes, otherwise the dice will continue to roll and more people will die."

Lingjun pondered:

"It's not difficult to make people tell the truth, there are plenty of lie-detecting items. There are so many Lingjing Xingzhe present, there must be a way. Also, you used Star Gazing to look at everyone's faces just now, did you remember everyone's Life Palaces?"

The Life Palace represents fate, and everyone's Life Palace is unique.

"Of course!" Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

"Then it's easy. He's either lying dormant, waiting for us to find him, or he's possessed someone and you've discovered it," Lingjun said, "What I'm more concerned about is, when Yan'er died, why didn't you see his spirit escape?"

Zhang Yuanqing shook his head, "I can't understand it. He's an ancient cultivator and also practices Illusionist magic, he has more tricks than us, it's hard to predict. However, as long as he dares to continue possessing, we'll always be able to find him."

Listening to her cousin and Yuanshi Tianzun's conversation, Miao Teng'er suddenly felt a strong sense of security, and her heavy mood eased a lot.

That's right, there are many experts here, especially her cousin, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Yin Ji, the three of them are the elite of the elite.

It's not easy for the Pure Yang Sect Leader to deal with them.

At this time, three minutes had passed, and the guests had already chosen two waiters to abandon. After most people turned their gazes to the two poor fellows and stared for ten seconds, the information projected in the air changed:

【Countdown Over, Congratulations on Choosing Your Companions to Abandon!】

As soon as this information appeared, the two pale-faced male employees stiffened, fell straight down, lost their lives, and became two corpses.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately walked towards the crowd and said loudly: "Everyone, listen to me..."

He told the guests the characteristics of the "Grima's Great Adventure" item that he had just analyzed.

"You must find the Pure Yang Sect Leader within ten minutes? That's not difficult, the Pure Yang Sect Leader came for the four of you, so he must have possessed one of you," Xie Lingyun said.

Yin Ji shook her head slightly, "They haven't been possessed."

Duanqiao Canxue, a young genius from the Hangzhou branch, nodded, "Directly possessing a Night Wanderer is too obvious, he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake."

Lingjun said:

"Now, we need to gather everyone in the clubhouse together. Teng'er, how many waiters did you hire? Are there any more on the first and third floors?"

Miao Teng'er said: "Including the waiters, cleaners, and security guards, there are a total of thirty people, most of them are here."

Zhang Yuanqing immediately said: "That means there are still people who haven't arrived, immediately gather those people, complete it within two minutes."

Miao Teng'er nodded and gave Uncle Yang a look.

The latter quickly left, and two minutes later, he returned on time with eight panicked waiters and cleaners. When everyone arrived, Zhang Yuanqing said:

"Now, please all the security guards, cleaners, and waiters stand by the dining table, please the Saints stand by the other dining table, and everyone else stay where you are."

Under his arrangement, the people present were divided into three distinct groups.

"Based on my understanding of the Pure Yang Sect Leader, he doesn't have the ability to possess Saints, so he's hiding among the Transcendent Realm and ordinary people," Zhang Yuanqing said, "Now, I need a lie-detecting item."

Hearing this, Gao Shan Liushui, the enforcer of the Puning District, said, "I have a lie-detecting item."

With that, he took out a black iron token from his item bar, composed of a rectangle and a semicircle, with the words "Military Order is Like a Mountain" carved on the token.

"This item has a price, which is that you can't lie while holding it." The calm and gentle middle-aged man looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, "Saint quality, is it enough?"

Holding the item, his temperament became stern and sharp, like a general fighting on the battlefield.

Saint quality should be enough, I originally wanted to use Houtu Boots' "Honest Person" price, the token is more convenient and more professional.

Zhang Yuanqing nodded slightly and said, "Sufficient!"

At the same time, he mentally calculated the time, there were still six minutes.

"Who wants to go first?" Gao Shan Liushui glanced at the Transcendent Realm Xingzhe.

Xie Lingyun took the initiative and said, "Me!"

She took the black iron token and said, "I am Xie Lingyun, not the Pure Yang Sect Leader."

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a moment and said, "Say one more thing: You are not an ancient cultivator."

"I am not an ancient cultivator!" Xie Lingyun said.

After speaking, she gently exhaled and passed the token to her best friend next to her.

The token was passed around among the Transcendent Realm Xingzhe, and everyone who held the token said the same lines as Xie Lingyun without any obstacles.

Just as it was passed to Danqing Sacred Hand, an accident occurred. The mascot of the Crab City branch suddenly put the token into his item bar.

"What are you doing?" Gao Shan Liushui's face changed. This was his item.

The surrounding people retreated in unison, away from Danqing Sacred Hand.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuanqing suddenly rejoiced that he hadn't taken out the Houtu Boots.

"Mine, this item is mine!"

Danqing Sacred Hand's handsome face was full of greed, he said fiercely, "With this item, I can become a Saint, I can also rise to prominence, no one can take it from me."

After speaking, he turned and ran.

In an instant, everyone took action.

Gao Shan Liushui's arm turned into a green vine, twisting and extending towards Danqing Sacred Hand, entangling him.

The Ghost Bride emerged and possessed Danqing Sacred Hand from behind; Lingjun transformed into a colorful giant tiger and pounced on him.

"Bang, bang!"

Two gunshots rang out, and Danqing Sacred Hand's head exploded into pieces, bone fragments, blood, and brains splattered, instantly ending his life. It was Duanqiao Canxue who fired the shots, his expression was fierce and ruthless, slightly panting, like a stress response after being frightened.

Zhang Yuanqing and the three from the Taiyi Sect simultaneously cast Spirit Devour, but they didn't see the Pure Yang Sect Leader's spirit, but rather the spirit remaining in Danqing Sacred Hand's body was moved and slowly floated out.

"He's not the Pure Yang Sect Leader." Yin Ji frowned.

"How could it be..." Duanqiao Canxue looked stunned.

Fooled by a feint. Zhang Yuanqing's face sank.

Obviously, this was the Pure Yang Sect Leader's response. He, who practiced Illusionist magic, could see through the target's mental weaknesses. Danqing Sacred Hand's mental weakness was probably getting rid of the mascot title.

So the Pure Yang Sect Leader used Danqing Sacred Hand's weakness, amplifying his greedy emotions, causing him to lose resistance to the Saint-quality item, and taking the risk of taking the item for himself.

At the same time, the Pure Yang Sect Leader also amplified the fear in Duanqiao Canxue's heart, causing him to take the extreme action of eliminating the enemy to prevent future troubles.

Zhang Yuanqing had fought with Illusionists a lot, but compared to Jiao, those Illusionists were simply like ungraded students.

Of course, essentially, the Master-level item limited them, and the Pure Yang Sect Leader was no ordinary Illusionist, Illusionists wouldn't possess people.

As his thoughts turned, Zhang Yuanqing saw the information projected in the air change:

【Safe Time Countdown Over, Dice are Rolling, Please Wait】

The dice floating in the virtual round table in the air rolled at high speed once again. Ten minutes were up.

A few seconds later, the dice gradually stopped, and finally stopped at seven.

Under everyone's tense gaze, the little puppet followed the winding lines to the ten o'clock position. As the puppet moved, the thick fog broke open, and a line of small characters was noted at the ten o'clock position:

"You have a chance to roll the dice again."

The soccer-sized dice rolled again.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

This time, the dice stopped at two.

The little puppet on the tabletop game took joyful steps forward two points.

The thick fog broke open, and at the twelve o'clock position was a rice field with a scarecrow standing in it. The information marked in the area was:

"You have entered the Scarecrow Domain, you cannot move for ten minutes, those who violate the Scarecrow's will will be obliterated!"

【Ding! Countdown Begins!】

"Don't move, everyone don't move," Miao Teng'er said immediately.

As soon as she finished speaking, a waiter cried out with a crying voice: "I, I don't want to stay here, I want to go home..."

The waiter ran wildly towards the restaurant door, but as soon as he took two steps, his body suddenly stiffened, he fell straight down, silently dying.

Her death didn't sound an alarm for everyone, but instead plunged many people into greater fear.

Two Transcendent Realm Xingzhe suddenly collapsed mentally, screaming and rushing towards the restaurant door, as if there was something terrible chasing them behind them.

"Thump!"

The two fell one after the other, returning to the Lingjing.

The atmosphere of panic was still contagious and spreading, even elites like Liu Zhiyi and Duanqiao Canxue began to tremble in their legs, sweat rolling down their foreheads, and they kept looking behind them, as if there was great fear and great crisis behind them.

Damn it, he's using the waiter's death to amplify everyone's panic and spread fear. The people in the Saint Realm were not affected much, but the people in the Transcendent stage couldn't bear it at all. If this continues, maybe in the next second, the Transcendent Realm Xingzhe will collectively collapse. Zhang Yuanqing's heart was shocked.

Among the Transcendent Realm, there were also two Night Wanderers. If they died and their spiritual power was taken by the Pure Yang Sect Leader, this ancient cultivator's strength would greatly increase, and it would be even more difficult and harder to find him.

In that case, the Grima's Great Adventure game would be difficult to stop, and everyone could be played to death by him.

He had to find a way to curb the spread of panic, but at the moment he couldn't move and couldn't take out items from the item bar. He also didn't have the means of an Illusionist...

A Master-level item made him experience the difficulty of an S-level dungeon.

At this time, if there was a Musician, that would be great. The Musician's soothing just happens to restrain the Illusionist's ability to provoke emotions. I knew I should have brought Xie Lingxi here...

Wait, there's a Musician here.
