Chapter 153 Crisis

Even Nie Yan was shocked by the talent within the Ni Ren (Amazing People) Tribe. In his past life, he remembered the names of roughly six or seven hundred players. Most of these people hadn't been recruited by the major guilds yet. Nie Yan had Guo Huai recruit them, and when they heard the Ni Ren Tribe's favorable conditions, they all came over, resulting in the current thriving state of the guild.

Guo Huai thought that Nie Yan had contacted these people and then asked him to recruit them, but he didn't expect that each one was so talented, which amazed him greatly. He marveled at Nie Yan's unique vision. However, he would never have imagined that Nie Yan had been reborn.

Of course, among the people Nie Yan chose, there were also many who didn't seem to have very good skills. Guo Huai once suggested that these people be fired, but Nie Yan decided to let them stay.

Generally, people with exceptional talent have played some virtual games, more or less. After entering *Faith*, they showed great potential. People like Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan (Undying Scoundrel) and Xia Chong Yu Bing (Summer Insect Talks of Ice) had good skills. There were also some people who only exploded in the middle and later stages of the game and hadn't yet distinguished themselves in the guild, such as the Shield Warrior Leng Ao Ying (Arrogant Shadow) and the beautiful Priest Luo Xue Xing Chen (Fallen Snow Star), among others. They were all formidable players who exploded in the later stages of the game, and were currently in a state of understanding and cognition of the game.

Of course, Nie Yan wouldn't fire them. On the contrary, he provided them with good conditions. If they exploded, then Nie Yan would profit. If they remained silent, Nie Yan wouldn't lose out either; it would be equivalent to weakening the strength of other guilds.

Guo Huai could never understand what Nie Yan was thinking.

In the arena battles between the Ni Ren Tribe and the Sacred Roman Empire, the Ni Ren Tribe's win rate far exceeded that of the Sacred Roman Empire. Bansheng De Huli (Half-Awake Fox) felt that Nie Yan's words were true. With these people joining the fortress battle, they could at least kill five or six hundred, or even more, members of Holy Light Flames. In this way, the Sacred Roman Empire's chances of winning the fortress battle would greatly increase.

Sacrificing 30% of the shares to win the remaining 70% was still worth it, after all. If they lost to Holy Light Flames, they would have nothing.

"Let's sign the agreement," Bansheng De Huli gritted his teeth and finally made this decision.

Nie Yan smiled slightly. If they won the fortress battle, although the Ni Ren Tribe wouldn't be upgraded to a Level 5 guild, they would have equity in the fortress. What could be better than that!

The two signed their names, and the cooperation agreement took effect under the notarization of the main system.

"Do you want them to continue sparring?" Nie Yan glanced at the members of the two guilds below. The Sacred Roman Empire was obviously frightened. Their win rate was less than 10% at this point.

Bansheng De Huli said somewhat awkwardly, "Let's not."

Nie Yan had the Ni Ren Tribe players withdraw.

Since Bansheng De Huli was paying for the Eternal Set, he might as well continue to take his players to Eternal City to level up and improve their levels in order to prepare for the upcoming fortress battle. Nie Yan set his sights on Cui Can Dao Guang (Brilliant Saber Light). He wanted to fill Cui Can Dao Guang's Eternal Set with Evasion Gems, and then inlay two Attribute Amplification Gems on his Golden Single-Handed Sword. If he could find a powerful enchanter, that would be even better.

In addition, he would level up Cui Can Dao Guang a few more levels. When the great battle broke out, Cui Can Dao Guang would activate Life Shield and take the lead. Who could match him?

Powerful Shield Warriors and Berserkers played a significant role in large-scale battles. They were characters who charged into the fray.

There was also Yi Yan. He would take Yi Yan to Level 30. Before the Eternal Set was delivered to the Sacred Roman Empire, he could let him wear it first.

As for Nie Yan himself, he had a very important thing to do, which was to obtain the Chapter of Kindness before the fortress battle started, so he wouldn't have to worry about the Chapter of Order dropping during the fortress battle.

He wondered what the attributes of this legendary item would be after the six Chapters of Order were collected.

Nie Yan couldn't help but feel some anticipation. The rarity of the Chapter of Order was self-evident. In his previous life, no one had collected them all. In this life, Nie Yan had spent a lot of effort to collect five chapters, and the last chapter was also within sight!

Nie Yan chatted with Bansheng De Huli for a while, planning the next steps.

Suddenly, a series of system prompts popped up in the guild channel.

Guild: Shui Se Yan Tou (Misty-Colored Cigarette Butt) has left the guild.

Guild: Leng Feng Jue Jian (Cold Peak Sword) has left the guild.

Guild: Mu En (Wood Grace) has left the guild.

Guild: Lun Hui Zhi Zhu (Lord of Reincarnation) has left the guild.

...

All members of Ku Ye (Withered Leaf) Studio! Nie Yan's face darkened. Could it be that Ku Ye Studio had broken their trust and abandoned the agreement they signed with the Ni Ren Tribe? Were they not afraid of the Ni Ren Tribe pursuing their breach of contract?

This was the first group of people to betray the Ni Ren Tribe. If he found out that Ku Ye Studio had turned to other guilds, Nie Yan would make them pay a heavy price! This was a matter of the Ni Ren Tribe's dignity. The constraints of the agreement alone would be enough to severely damage Ku Ye Studio!

Seeing Nie Yan's gloomy face, Bansheng De Huli asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Nie Yan said calmly, "Something happened in the guild. I'll take care of it."

Bansheng De Huli nodded. He intuitively felt that something might have happened to the Ni Ren Tribe.

"Guo Huai, what happened?" Nie Yan asked in a private chat.

Guo Huai could feel Nie Yan's hidden anger, like thunder before a storm. He said breathlessly, "Things are very complicated. I'm comforting the players in the guild. There's a reason for this withdrawal incident, and it hasn't caused any adverse effects. Don't worry, I'll explain it to you later." He was obviously exhausted from comforting the guild members.

Nie Yan looked at the guild group chat, and the chats in it made him a little puzzled. They were all supporting Ku Ye Studio and Shui Se Yan Tou.

"Executive Guild Leader, we can't ignore the people from Ku Ye Studio. They are also our brothers!"

"Yeah, the brothers from Ku Ye Studio are all very good. They helped me level up several times. We need to be grateful. Even if we lose this equipment and drop a few levels, we can't stand by!"

"Executive Guild Leader, please tell the boss."

Guo Huai said in the guild group chat, "Everyone, please calm down. We haven't analyzed the situation clearly, so we must not make a rash decision. We will definitely not ignore this matter. Everyone must not impulsively leave the guild. I'll tell Guild Leader Nie Yan about this and let him make the decision. During this period, anyone who leaves the guild can forget about returning to the Ni Ren Tribe in the future!"

Guo Huai brought up Nie Yan and made the harsh statement that anyone who left the guild could forget about returning to the Ni Ren Tribe, and the players in the guild finally calmed down a bit. They waited for Nie Yan's decision.

"Guo Huai, what exactly happened?" Nie Yan asked in a private chat. He hadn't understood the whole story yet.

Guo Huai's body was already soaked in sweat. This group of people was too difficult to manage.

"The thing is, Ku Ye Studio has some grudges with Bi Luo Cang Qiong (Azure Firmament), which seems to be a historical problem. They are both studios and have a competitive relationship. This time, the cause of the incident was that Bi Luo Cang Qiong killed more than fifty members of Ku Ye Studio outside the Man Niu Cao Yuan (Savage Bull Grassland) dungeon, which angered Shui Se Yan Tou. You know about the Bi Luo Cang Qiong guild. It was established by Bi Luo Cang Qiong Studio and has about 20,000 members, making it a strong force among the second-tier guilds. Ku Ye Studio temporarily belongs to the Ni Ren Tribe, and their identity is extremely sensitive. If Ku Ye Studio confronts Bi Luo Cang Qiong, it would be equivalent to dragging the Ni Ren Tribe in, which would mean making an enemy of the Ni Ren Tribe. The purpose of Ku Ye Studio is to not bring any trouble to their clients. So Shui Se Yan Tou asked me to tell you that this matter is Ku Ye Studio's business and has nothing to do with the Ni Ren Tribe. If it causes any losses to the Ni Ren Tribe, Ku Ye Studio will fully compensate. After this matter is over, Ku Ye Studio will fulfill the contract again. Before I could persuade him, he left the guild. I heard that he has already taken people to find trouble with Bi Luo Cang Qiong," Guo Huai said. He also realized how troublesome it was to deal with this matter, especially the attitude of the Ni Ren Tribe's players. Ku Ye Studio was entrusted by Nie Yan to take the guild's players to level up, and many guild players remembered the kindness of Ku Ye Studio. Therefore, when they heard that Ku Ye Studio was going to find trouble with Bi Luo Cang Qiong, they were all excited and shouted that even if they left the guild, they couldn't stand by.

Guo Huai explained the ins and outs of the matter in one breath and asked, "What should we do?"

"What else can we do? Gather people and destroy Bi Luo Cang Qiong!" Nie Yan said without hesitation after hearing the whole story.

Guo Huai was stunned. He didn't expect Nie Yan to make a decision so rashly. He said, "Bi Luo Cang Qiong has always been in a neutral state, with about 20,000 members. Their strength is top-notch among the second-tier guilds. Bi Luo Cang Qiong Studio is a top studio in the country, no less than Ku Ye Studio, and may even be better. Is it worth it for us to make such a powerful enemy for Ku Ye Studio?"

As a guild leader, they had to stand from the guild's perspective and weigh the pros and cons. If the Ni Ren Tribe participated in the conflict between Ku Ye Studio and Bi Luo Cang Qiong, it would be equivalent to pushing Bi Luo Cang Qiong to the enemy's side.

Ku Ye Studio left the Ni Ren Tribe precisely to clear their relationship with the Ni Ren Tribe and not drag the Ni Ren Tribe in. This was their professional ethics.

"There's no question of whether it's worth it or not. Before Ku Ye Studio joined the Ni Ren Tribe, I wouldn't care how they fought with Bi Luo Cang Qiong. Ku Ye Studio joined the Ni Ren Tribe, whether it's a contractual relationship or not, no matter how long, during the contract period, they are brothers of the Ni Ren Tribe. They were killed after joining the Ni Ren Tribe. Whoever kills the Ni Ren Tribe's brothers is not allowed, no matter what guild they are, Bi Luo Cang Qiong, Victorious Return Empire, Holy Light Flames, even the Sacred Roman Empire and the Carola Guild, who have cooperative relationships, no one is allowed. I'll kill them all!" Nie Yan said in a bandit-like manner.
