Chapter 1 Remember to Have Angellic Sin Deliver the Five Sub-Legendary Items

"Remember to have Angellic Sin send over the five sub-legendary items," Nie Yan said calmly. "I'll be visiting the Satrin Empire in a while. It's only polite to return the favor."

As soon as Nie Yan said this, the players watching below were filled with awe. This was Asskickers United declaring war on Angel Corps.

Since the two sides were far apart, teleporting there cost hundreds of gold coins. Only when air cavalry became widespread would large-scale wars become possible. Now it was just a clash between the top players on both sides. The outcome was somewhat anticipated. Such a collision between top players was definitely going to be exciting.

At this moment, Angellic Sin, who was in the Blood Sacrifice Totem Fortress, heard Nie Yan's words and slammed his hand heavily on the table in a fit of rage. Mad Rogue Nie Yan was taking advantage and acting coy. If Nie Yan dared to come to the Orc King City, he would definitely send him back with his tail between his legs.

The fact that Angel Corps had suffered a loss didn't mean that Angel Corps was afraid of Asskickers United. It was because Angel Corps' main energy was still focused on attacking major cities and unifying the Satrin Empire. They simply didn't have the spare energy to deal with Asskickers United. Besides, the two sides were too far apart. Otherwise, with Angel Corps' current strength, swallowing Asskickers United would be a piece of cake.

The word "air cavalry" popped into Angellic Sin's mind again!

Whoever mastered air cavalry would master the skies!

The arena in the center of Calore slowly disappeared, and Mad God and Fallen slunk back to the Orc King City of the Satrin Empire. This matter had come to a temporary end.

The heated discussion about this PK was bound to continue for a long time, but Mad God and Fallen had clearly become the laughingstock of the players. They had come over with great fanfare, but ended up in such a state.

In addition, the discussion about Nie Yan's strength was also endless. No one could say for sure how strong Nie Yan really was. Anyway, they had never seen Nie Yan lose so far. They really hoped that a godlike figure who could rival Nie Yan would appear.

Nie Yan returned to the Asskickers United headquarters in Cripps Fortress with a group of players.

After experiencing a war, this fortress had become even more prosperous. The war had failed to destroy this fortress, but had given Cripps Fortress a greater opportunity for development. Merchants who wanted to do business in the major fortresses needed a peaceful environment first and foremost. If they bought real estate and shops in the fortress, but it was destroyed by war, then they would have nothing left.

Asskickers United had proven with its strength that Cripps Fortress was safe. As long as this was ensured, merchants would continue to arrive. In addition, there were a large number of level 50-60 and level 70-80 leveling spots around Cripps Fortress, so future prosperity was certain. Moreover, Asskickers United intended to build Cripps Fortress into a transit station to all the major fortresses, and spent a lot of money to build teleportation arrays in these fortresses. With teleportation arrays, transportation became much more convenient.

Seeing the bustling Cripps Fortress, Nie Yan was quite gratified. It seemed that Guo Huai and the others had managed Cripps Fortress well.

Nie Yan walked into the Asskickers United conference hall, where Guo Huai and the others were busy.

"How has War God Tribe been doing recently?" Nie Yan asked. Guo Huai hadn't mentioned War God Tribe to him, so it seemed that War God Tribe hadn't encountered any trouble.

"War God Tribe has been fighting more reliably than before recently. The five guilds of the Tuoba family can't do anything about it for the time being. War God Tribe should be able to hold out for another five or six days." Guo Huai described the general situation. The war in Nisode City was temporarily in a stalemate.

It seemed that after being provoked by Nie Yan, the War God Tribe group was working harder than before. After all, they didn't want to become the trash that Nie Yan called them, and be looked down upon by Asskickers United. The leaders of the major studios issued orders, and the players in the studios naturally did their best, and the cohesion of War God Tribe suddenly increased a lot. Although the fledgling War God Tribe had a bit of a gap in strength with the Tuoba family, as long as they held on for five or six days, it would be much easier for Asskickers United.

In five or six days, Nie Yan could organize a group of players to rescue War God Tribe. The War God Tribe fortress should be able to produce two or three Frost Ironclad Trebuchets by then, and they would be able to launch a counterattack against the Tuoba family.

Nie Yan was very concerned about War God Tribe. War God Tribe was the Nie family's property, and he couldn't let the Tuoba family destroy it.

Nie Yan learned about the battle situation on War God Tribe's side, confirmed that there were no problems, handled some of the guild's affairs, teleported back to Calore, and walked towards the Temple of Light.

The Temple of Light was located in the western district of Calore. There were often grand sacrificial activities here. Every week, a large number of NPCs would gather here to worship piously. Every year, there would also be a grand pilgrimage, and the Holy Light would shine upon them, driving away their ailments.

Walking straight ahead along the main street, looking towards the end of the street, a magnificent building made of gray-white stone appeared in front of Nie Yan. The entire building was shrouded in a faint white glow, appearing solemn and sacred.

In front of this building was an open square with a giant statue of an angel. The angel was wearing white armor, and his expression was lifelike. The sculpture was so exquisite that every feather was perfectly crafted. That was the most famous figure of the Temple of Light, the Archangel Tyrael. He guarded the Gates of the Dead for many years, protecting peace for mankind.

Tyrael's expression in the sculpture was solemn and serious, inspiring a sense of reverence.

Nie Yan walked past the statue and entered the Temple of Light. A guard in silver-white armor stopped Nie Yan and said, "Stranger, please leave this place. No non-Holy Word professions may enter the temple without permission."

Nie Yan looked at the guard's name.

"Mr. Gallard, I'm here to see Priest Anson. I obtained an evil item and want to purify it," Nie Yan said respectfully. Everyone in the temple had a high status in Calore, because at least half of the nobles in Calore were followers of the Temple of Light.

"To purify evil items, you must wait until the weekend service to enter the temple."

It seemed that he couldn't purify the Evil Orb today. There were still two days until the weekend, so he had to wait until then to come back.

Just as Nie Yan was about to leave, an old man in a white priest's robe with white hair and beard walked towards Nie Yan from inside the temple.

"Evil Hunter, Great Scholar, Great Thief Nie Yan, may I ask what brings you here?" the priest asked.

Nie Yan looked at his name. It was Anson, the person he was looking for. He was slightly surprised. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

Priest Anson seemed to see through Nie Yan's thoughts and smiled slightly. "Mr. Nie Yan, there's no need to be surprised. Before you came here, God gave me instructions. God is all-knowing and all-powerful."

Nie Yan didn't have much respect for the God Priest Anson spoke of. He took out the Evil Orb from his backpack. The black orb exuded an aura of corrosion and darkness.

"This is the Evil Orb. It comes from the distant Dark Abyss and absorbs the aura of the undead. It can cause the person who holds it to lose their mind and become its slave. The person who holds the Evil Orb possesses a powerful power of resurrection. Even if they die, they can be resurrected. That's why the Holy See's army has never been able to wipe out the Bloodshadow Legion. Honorable Mr. Nie Yan, you have solved our problem. Please allow me to purify it," Priest Anson said with relief.

"Of course, Mr. Anson." Nie Yan traded the Evil Orb to Priest Anson.

Priest Anson took the Evil Orb in his hand and said to Nie Yan, "Mr. Nie Yan, please come with me." The two walked into the Temple of Light together.

After entering the Temple of Light, the dark aura emitted by the Evil Orb was immediately weakened a lot, and the originally dazzling black luster became somewhat dim.

Nie Yan followed Priest Anson into a hall, which was shrouded in a vast white light, and filled with holy power.

The Holy Light shone on Nie Yan's body, warm and comforting, as if it wanted to completely cleanse his body.

This was the power of the Holy Light.

Priest Anson walked to the center of the hall with the Evil Orb. In the center of the hall stood a stone platform made of white stone, on which lay a thick book, emitting a dazzling white light.

Priest Anson opened the first page of the book, and a powerful holy light burst forth. Nie Yan looked over there, and some distorted tadpole-like characters on the page came into his sight. These characters were strange yet elegant. This was the Holy Word Book of the Temple of Light, possessing the powerful power of God.

A series of obscure incantations were uttered from Priest Anson's mouth, and the Holy Word Book became even more dazzling, and the white light enveloped the Evil Orb in Anson's hand. The Evil Orb slowly diminished in the white light, and finally with a bang, it burst into pieces and disappeared, leaving not a trace of debris.

The Evil Orb was completely purified. He wondered how the reward for Shadow Dancer would be triggered. Would it be a quest, or would he directly be given an item?

Nie Yan wasn't very clear about how Smile of a Harlot had completed the Shadow Dancer promotion in his previous life. Smile of a Harlot wouldn't reveal such secrets.

Since the Evil Orb had already been purified, Priest Anson would definitely give him a reward. Nie Yan waited patiently.

After a while, Priest Anson finished chanting the incantation. With a wave of his hand, a beam of pure white light fell, shining on Nie Yan.

Nie Yan felt a powerful force slowly penetrating into his body.

"Light and shadow accompany each other, young man, are you willing to enter another world and pursue the ancient divine power? That is a distant ancient battlefield, where you will receive God's blessing and verify the value of survival in the wheel of time." Anson's low words seemed to guide Nie Yan into a dream.

Was this the Shadow Dancer promotion quest?
