Chapter 1 The First Kill Target

Think about the people Ying Sha killed in his previous life, which one wasn't a leading figure? Who would have thought that Ying Sha's first target might be himself! It proves that he and the Niuren Tribe have begun to emerge on this stage and are valued by players. Even if Ying Sha's assassination can threaten him to a certain extent, it's only him personally. Even if he is assassinated, the Niuren Tribe will still stand tall!

"You can still laugh," Guo Huai said gloomily.

"You should be happy. The Kaixuan Empire and the Radiant Sacred Flame hired Ying Sha to deal with me, which shows their fear. They are afraid that the Niuren Tribe will shake their position. What are we in a hurry for? They are the ones who should be anxious," Nie Yan said. As the leader of a guild, they must maintain this calm attitude.

"Okay, I admit you have a point," Guo Huai said helplessly. How could Nie Yan associate everything with the good side?

Nie Yan smiled.

"Now that I've said the bad things, I also have to tell you a few good news. Players have ranked the combat power of several guilds online, and the Niuren Tribe has already surpassed the Radiant Sacred Flame, the Kaixuan Empire, and the Sacred Roman Empire. They call the Niuren Tribe the Hall of Experts, and many powerful players are starting to run to us. Our two branch guilds, the Mages Tribe and the Warriors Tribe, have also developed. Because the membership conditions are relatively low, both guilds have reached the full quota of 20,000 for a level one guild. I have opened three more branch guilds, the Paladins Tribe, the Thieves Tribe, and the Priests Tribe. I plan to have the elite members of these guilds upgrade these guilds to level two guilds," Guo Huai said. The speed of the guild's expansion exceeded his expectations and was astonishing.

"Good development. Fill our Niuren Tribe with the stronger members of these five branch guilds," Nie Yan said. Developing branch guilds is an inevitable trend. Players with poor strength cannot join the Niuren Tribe, but resources cannot be wasted.

"Several guilds have also started contacting us, preparing to merge into our guild," Guo Huai said.

"We must be careful about these guilds," Nie Yan said. Who knows if there are any who harbor ulterior motives.

"I understand. I will carefully review them. It is impossible for them to come in for the time being," Guo Huai nodded. He was very cautious when handling this matter.

The Niuren Tribe is showing a thriving scene. Although the Radiant Sacred Flame and the Kaixuan Empire are expanding, the Niuren Tribe has not fallen behind. Its expansion speed is much faster than theirs. After these few major battles, the Niuren Tribe's reputation has greatly increased, and the morale of its players is like a rainbow. Even the Sacred Roman Empire has benefited. The Radiant Sacred Flame and the Kaixuan Empire have just suffered a crushing defeat, and their prestige has been greatly reduced. With the ebb and flow, the Niuren Tribe is no longer afraid of the Radiant Sacred Flame and the Kaixuan Empire.

Nie Yan can completely treat it with a leisurely mood. The rise of the Niuren Tribe is unstoppable. As long as the Niuren Tribe is given some time to narrow the gap with the Radiant Sacred Flame and the Kaixuan Empire, it will eventually trample the Radiant Sacred Flame and the Kaixuan Empire under its feet.

The players of the Niuren Tribe have begun to enjoy the glory brought to them by the rise of the guild. This glory will make the players of the Niuren Tribe more united, and a city will be built with one heart, indestructible!

"Anything else?" Nie Yan asked.

"Nothing else," Guo Huai said. He understood that Nie Yan might be doing an important task, so he didn't disturb him too much.

Cutting off the voice call, Nie Yan continued searching for the Chapter of Kindness. He searched in the forest for about an hour, but still found nothing.

He had only heard that the Chapter of Kindness was discovered in Sonia's Moonlight Grove, but he didn't know the exact location. He could only run around like a headless fly.

In his previous life, countless players came here to get the Chapter of Kindness, but many of them were killed and sent back. Finally, a mage with strong control cleared the monsters in the Moonlight Grove and took away the Chapter of Kindness. Nie Yan had forgotten his name. He didn't keep the Chapter of Kindness for long after he got it.

Nie Yan dodged a large number of Rock Moonlight Bears and entered a dense jungle. The dense leaves shielded the sunlight, leaving only white beams of light projected through the gaps in the forest.

These white beams were as bright and flawless as moonlight, emitting a faint, cold light.

His gaze locked onto the front.

In an open space in the forest ahead, a circular stone platform stood in a beam of pure white light. The stone platform was carved very exquisitely and covered with various strange elven runes. On the circular stone platform, a crescent-shaped stone was quietly suspended, releasing a faint white light.

'You have discovered a strange stone in the center of the Moonlight Grove. According to the old mage in the slums of Carol City, it is the Moonlight Stone of the Bai Elves, which can change the sun, moon, and stars, and replace day and night. It is what gave the Bai Elves their long lives. It can give mages abundant and endless magic power.'

Nie Yan looked at this system message and his heart moved. Could it be a quest?

Is it related to the Chapter of Kindness? He had been searching near here for so long but hadn't found any trace of the Chapter of Kindness. Maybe this Moonlight Stone is the key.

Nie Yan walked towards the Moonlight Stone ahead. A mysterious force seemed to be pulling him. He slowly reached out his hand and touched the Moonlight Stone. A gentle force filled his whole body.

The moment Nie Yan touched the Moonlight Stone, the surrounding scenery kept changing. The trees quickly withered and disappeared, and the sun and moon in the sky rotated rapidly, faster and faster. The light and shadows changed, as if he was traveling through time.

It seemed like thousands of years had passed, and only an endless wilderness was left between heaven and earth. It was a silent night, with a bright moon in the sky, its light pure and flawless.

When Nie Yan looked down, he found that the stone platform in front of him was gone. In the dark wilderness, the rocks were jagged, the visibility was very low, and some flickering lights came from a distant place.

System: You have entered the Moonlight Secret Realm.

He didn't know what this Moonlight Secret Realm was. Nie Yan guessed that he might have entered a quest map. After taking a look, he found that he couldn't use teleportation scrolls or other items here, nor could he use random teleportation scrolls.

For Nie Yan, his retreat had been cut off.

The fire in the distance might be a guide. Nie Yan walked in the dark wilderness, heading in the direction from which the fire came.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, without any sound.

Worried about unknown dangers, Nie Yan slowed down and took every step very carefully.

Just then, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if he was being watched by something. He searched for the source of that strange feeling.

His perception expanded to the maximum in the silent darkness. Nie Yan quickly looked towards the darkness in the distance, Eye of Truth! Nie Yan's eyes were bloodshot, the veins around his eyes were exposed, and he penetrated the darkness, only to see a black shadow flash past.

Found it!

In the instant before it disappeared, Nie Yan cast a Super Identification.

It melted into the darkness and could no longer be found. Even if Nie Yan perceived it again, he could not detect its existence.

Nie Yan glanced at the information obtained from the Super Identification.

Real Illusion (Nie Yan): Level 35, Health 963963.

Nie Yan's heart trembled. Who is this guy, his illusion?

Nie Yan understood the main brain's intention a little. The main brain was testing him with illusions! An illusion controlled by the main brain with attributes stronger than his own. Nie Yan's purpose was to defeat it!

"Fighting myself? Come on!" Nie Yan tightened his dagger and entered Stealth.

His eyes searched in the darkness, looking for the other's figure, and slowly moved forward.

Just then, Nie Yan suddenly felt a sense of danger coming from behind. He was shocked. This guy could see through his invisibility!

The illusion's attributes were much higher than Nie Yan's, so its perception attribute could naturally sense Nie Yan's location. Its sneak attack was exceptionally fierce.

The illusion's dagger stabbed towards the back of Nie Yan's head. A Mute hit fell, and the dagger was chilling.

Nie Yan sensed the danger one step ahead, suddenly turned around and dodged the illusion's attack, and stabbed at the illusion's forehead, without using a stun skill.

The illusion suddenly retreated a few steps and entered Stealth again, disappearing from Nie Yan's sight.

As he had imagined, this guy was testing him, looking for his weaknesses, and tricking him into using up his skills!

The illusion controlled by the main brain, its combat intelligence was not inferior to any human!

After Nie Yan dodged the attack, just as he was about to enter Stealth, a figure suddenly attacked from his side, and the dagger stabbed towards Nie Yan's back, its speed reaching its peak.

That speed was even a little faster than Nie Yan's.

Parry!

At the moment when the illusion was about to attack him, Nie Yan turned around, and his left-hand dagger blocked the illusion's attack with a backhand. With a ding, the two daggers collided, making a crisp collision sound. The dagger in his right hand was like a spirit snake, directly hitting the illusion's forehead.

The illusion suddenly disappeared, dodging Nie Yan's attack.

Nie Yan's attack missed, and his heart trembled slightly. The way this guy dodged his attack was clearly Shadow Dance!

When Nie Yan wanted to find the illusion again, he could no longer find it.

In his previous life, Nie Yan heard that such plots occasionally appeared in quests. Players described the situation they encountered in such quests and posted them on the forum. Nie Yan didn't read it carefully, but he had roughly seen such statistics. The probability of winning such quests was no more than 1%, and those who won all received amazing rewards. Some received a lot of attribute rewards, some received powerful skills, and some even received sub-legendary items.

He didn't know what his reward would be, an illusion controlled by the AI. Nie Yan showed a confident smile.

The AI is just a program after all. Although it can process any powerful data stream, it can never understand human cunning.
