After speaking, Zhao Fu tossed over a few sacks of gold coins, and the ten or so people gleefully grabbed the sacks and looked at the gold coins inside before nodding and agreeing.

These ten or so people were all players with low-ranking leader positions within Great Shun. Players weren’t very reliable, and there were no punishments for betraying their faction. Perhaps only after the Heaven Awaken World devoured the real world and their lives were in real danger would they truly be loyal.

Li Mu didn’t trust players too much either, so players were only low-ranking leaders, while most core members were indigenous residents. He wouldn’t give the players too much power.

Three days later.

Now, Great Shun’s situation was even bleaker. Its forces hid within the Great Shun Town because the reward for the quest was now two gold coins for killing a member, making everyone even crazier.

Now, only 7,000 players remained within Great Shun.

2,000 of these players were loyal to Great Shun, while 5,000 were people who had been bribed by Zhao Fu. This was because of those ten or so low-ranking leaders Zhao Fu had bribed. They had continuously convinced others to betray Great Shun as well.

However, Li Mu knew nothing about this, and he felt quite relieved that so many players were still willing to follow him.

Zhao Fu saw that it was time to make a move, so he split his soldiers into groups to enter Green Apricot. This required some concealing, or the system main cities would definitely notice so many soldiers entering Green Apricot.

“This is for you.” Zhao Fu took out a bottle of medicinal pills and a sack of gold and handed them to Li Gaole.

Li Gaole took the sack with one hand and the bottle with the other, and he looked quite hesitant. He was unsure about killing Li Mu with poison.

He understood that Li Mu was quite powerful in the real world as well, and he had already taken a great risk by revealing Great Shun’s position. If he poisoned Li Mu, he would have undoubtedly offended him, and Li Mu definitely wouldn’t spare him.

Seeing this, Zhao Fu understood what he was thinking and lightly smiled as he said, “After it’s done, I’ll reward you with 10,000 gold coins.”

This caused all of the hesitation on Li Gaole’s face to disappear – that was a whopping $1 billion in the real world. With that amount of money, he could escape overseas, and Li Mu wouldn’t be able to do anything to him. As such, Li Gaole grinned and nodded as he agreed.

That night, there were only a few stars in the sky, and the crescent moon only gave off a weak moonlight, making it seem quite dark. There seemed to be some mighty beast that appeared in the forest, and it gave off a powerful aura that caused all of the surrounding bugs to go quiet, making it seem terrifyingly silent.


Zhao Fu led 40,000 soldiers and killed some of Great Shun’s patrol soldiers. In order to reach Great Shun, they had to first face the villages around it.

These villages were a few kilometers away from the Great Shun Town, but with them there, Zhao Fu couldn’t get around all of them. So, he decided to break through at a specific point.

Zhao Fu had made sufficient preparations and brought 3,000 or so Assassins. It was 10 PM, and most of the villagers had gone to sleep. Just like in the ancient times, there wasn’t much to do at night, so most people went to bed not too long after the sun set.
