Chapter 317: Chapter 318: One Monarch, Three Consorts: Consort Zhao!

Chu You, leading the group of demonesses, flew at high speed towards the Sky God Guild.

Meanwhile, within the Sky God Guild, there was an air of anxiety. Night Ghost’s previous announcement had undoubtedly put them on the defensive.

To pay the gold coin now would be to admit to everyone, we, the Sky God Guild, are backing down. Although there was no shame in backing down to Night Ghost, it was an extremely humiliating matter. Where was the earlier toughness exhibited towards Zhao Feiyan? To immediately capitulate at Night Ghost’s words would cast a considerable shadow over the guild members.

In the future, they wouldn’t be able to hold their heads high in front of other players – their guild morale would dissipate.

Therefore, there were two opposing voices within the Sky God Guild: the pacifists who wanted peace and the opposition. It is important to note that these were not the same as those who want to engage in battle; the opposition was against compromising with Night Ghost under these circumstances.

If the guild boss insisted on paying Night Ghost 500,000 gold coins, the Sky God Guild would face a serious split. This was the reason the Guild Boss hesitated, many influential players with high profiles would leave the guild.

"What if he really comes and destroys us? Can you withstand it?" one person yelled in anger.

"Also, according to information I have, the United War Alliance, facilitated by Zhao Feiyan, is organizing forces, preparing to rally the Royal Guild. I ask you, can you withstand them as well as Night Ghost?" the person continued. In his view, these opposition members were not discerning the times. Was this not an ordinary online game? Could they do as they pleased?

"We need to have a spine. This is just a game. If you’re so scared, you might as well stay home and grow sweet potatoes. Even if we’re truly destroyed, I want to make them suffer. When I see them, I will strike without hesitation. Even if it means disgusting them, I will disgust them to death!" This was the hardline reason of the opposition.

"If you all really think that, then I have nothing else to say. I swear on my life to avenge the wrongs done by Night Ghost, but I won’t wait here with you all for death. I am taking my followers and leaving the Sky God Guild!" After saying this, the pacifist left with his trusted followers.

The Sky God Guild Boss found himself in a terrible predicament. Both sides were comprised of close friends with substantial influence in the guild. Taking either side would have a sizable impact on the guild.

"Evil Shadow, you’re so afraid of death I’ll remember this!" The opposition watched as Evil Shadow left with a hint of bitterness.

Chu You had already spotted the Sky God Guild. Unlike last time, he didn’t fly higher; instead, he dove straight on top of the guild’s headquarters.

On Night Ghost’s arrival, panic ensued throughout the Sky God Guild. Many players ran out, and over two thousand players in the guild field were watching the sky, including the God Boss, the opposition, and some pacifists who hadn’t left yet.

With a furrowed brow, the God Boss saw that Night Ghost was seriously showing up. Night Ghost meant business and it was not for show; if they continued their hardline stance, the Sky God guild wouldn’t exist by the end of the day. As he was thinking, the God Boss suddenly regretted his previous actions.

Why did he need to be so stubborn? Wouldn’t Yan Country be better off being united?

Grinding his teeth, the God Boss opened his friends list—there was an avatar of an incredibly beautiful woman, which belonged to Zhao Feiyan.

"Queen Zhao! We’ve come to our senses, the Sky God Guild is willing to join the United War Alliance. We can pay you 500,000 gold right now, please tell Night Ghost to hold back." The God Boss sent a voice message to Zhao Feiyan, addressing her in an unconventional manner.

"What did you just call me?" Zhao Feiyan raised an eyebrow. When did she get that title?

Zhao Feiyan didn’t know that for some time now, there had been a phrase "One Monarch, Three Consorts" circulating on the Huaxia forum, referring specifically to Night Ghost, Luoshui Huixi, Jiucaier, and herself.

The existence of such peculiar discussions was entirely due to Chu You. As the world’s top player, he set up the world’s top guild, such an impressive existence. Yet, there were only four people in his guild, and they were one man and three women. This prompted netizens to speculate with wild imaginations, generating various outlandish ideas in the posts they shared.

In the posts, all sorts of opinions were shared: the three women were Night Ghost’s harem, the three women were Night Ghost’s lap dogs, and so on. However, the phrase "One Monarch, Three Consorts" gained wide recognition among netizens and players. The Monarch represented Night Ghost, whose reputation and accomplishments needed no further explanation. Jiucaier’s influence was also significant. She held tremendous respect within the Super God Guild and Fairytale Kingdom, two Level 5 guilds. Her interaction with these two guilds was well-known, and her personal combat power was outstanding. She wielded a sacred-level weapon, and being Level 32, she was the highest-level Elemental Mage!

Zhao Feiyan’s influence was even more significant; she was so influential that netizens believed she held all the power acting on behalf of Night Ghost. Currently, Zhao Feiyan initiated the incredibly popular United War Alliance in Yan Country, an alliance so prestigious that respect has to be shown by all top guild bosses in Yan country. Moreover, her ’parent’ Falling Flowers Guild, was a powerhouse in its own right. It was said that when Zhao Feiyan stomped her foot in anger, it would cause tremors throughout the community of Yan country players.

Luoshui Huixi was one of the most mysterious yet highly revered figures among the netizens. She rarely appeared within the sight of players, leading to a void of understanding about her. It was only known that she was a top ranked Mage Profession player. She didn’t exert much influence amongst Yan Country’s players. However, the most critical part is that Luoshui Huixi was said to be capable of influencing Night Ghost’s decisions and could modify his actions. Among the three women, she had the most profound influence on Night Ghost!

Luoshui Huixi was also predicted by netizens to be a ’crowned’ woman!

These three women had one thing in common - they could all cause substantial ripple effects in Yan Country to varying degrees. Because of this, the netizens drew the conclusion of ’One Monarch, Three Consorts’.

Unless Night Ghost opened the door to becoming Immortal, and recruited more players, this conclusion would continue. Currently, many gossiping netizens had even initiated a thread on a forum: "Who will be the Fourth Consort?" Underneath the post, there was an enthusiastic discussion, which also gained significant attention.

Chu You did notice this development, but he merely waved it off with a chuckle.

Since the rumor had already-spread in the in-game forums, naturally, most players were already aware of it. Female players, though seeming uninterested on the surface, were secretly hoping to become the fourth one, anticipating the wonderful experience it would bring. And the male players? They could be summed up in five words - jealousy with a touch of envy!

Because of this talk, the God Boss, wishing to assert his dominance further, took the initiative to use the network nickname "Consort Zhao" in front of those involved.

"This is a term of respect and my way of showing honor. Night Ghost has made his move, and we’ve accepted our defeat. We’re willing to join the United War Alliance if he would just call it a stop," he addressed the crowd.

Zhao Feiyan was somewhat surprised and a bit angry at the title. She opened her friends list and found that Night Ghost had indeed arrived at an unfamiliar location in Yan country, likely the domain of the Sky God Guild. Zhao Feiyan immediately spoke to Night Ghost.

"Night Ghost, Sky God Guild has agreed to our terms. They will pay 500,000 Gold Coins and join the alliance. What do you think..."

"No, I intend to use them to upgrade to Level 7." Chu You flatly rejected, ordering 40 Battle Demon Princesses to launch the ’Combat Magma Tsunami’!

"Is this really okay?" Zhao Feiyan wasn’t begging mercy for the Sky God Guild, but she didn’t understand just how much money Chu You still had. 500,000 Gold Coins was a lot, equivalent to more than 2 million Soft Sister Coins in real-world currency. These funds could contribute to their ability to recuperate, and having the Sky God Guild, a strong team, join them seemed like a beneficial move, right?

However, no one truly understood Chu You’s character. Even he found himself perplexed at times...

What exactly did it mean to ’live like yourself’?

"Destroy them!" With a thought from Chu You, he casually commanded.

Space was abruptly torn apart, and molten lava from Abyssal Hell gushed out, finally striking the core building of the Sky God Guild.

This apocalyptic scene was mesmerizing to the Sky God Guild players watching from below...

In an instant, the health bar of the Sky God Guild’s core building was drained to the bottom!

System: Congratulations on completing the guild upgrade task. Now you can upgrade to a Level 7 Guild.

System: Level 7 Guild Task: Eliminate one Level 7 Guild and two Level 6 Guilds.
