Given Ancient Empire’s strength, it was extremely easy invading Forgotten City.

Even if the Forgotten City’s players started resisting the attack, city extermination was merely a matter of time. Moreover, most of the defending players had already run away.

One wave of the escalade was all it took to tear down the city gate. Without even sweating, over 50,000 players took down Forgotten City.

This was the true strength of a peak grade guild.

In terms of attacking a city, it was always good to have more money and more manpower.

Following Ancient Empire’s successful endeavour was the public announcement across the entire server. The noises on the forum also quietened down as people started singing praises of Ancient Empire as though they were not the ones who were scolding and cursing at them.

At this moment, Boundless Ocean was naturally the most confused one.

Boundless Ocean had always wanted to take down Forgotten City. However, he never acted because he never had the reason to do so.

Now that he finally had a reason to do so, Boundless Ocean was feeling diffident.

There was no free lunch in this world. Initially, Boundless Ocean thought that this was instigated by Forgotten City and they must have prepared well or they might even have powerful backups.

As they started attacking the city, he realised just how smooth and easy everything went. This was what confused Boundless Ocean because he couldn’t think of one saint who would give him this opportunity just like that.

Of course, as for the saints mentioned by Boundless Ocean, they were casually walking out of Forgotten City at their own pace.

Looking at the Chinese flag hanging high above Forgotten City, Wang Yu asked Meng Xi, “You already knew this was going to be the outcome?”

“What do you think?” Meng Xi furrowed her brows.

“Me?” Wang Yu chuckled awkwardly, “I thought we were merely going to find some people to cause some trouble in Forgotten City to allow you a way out. I never would have thought you were so ruthless that you actually went ahead to exterminate an entire city.”

“Haha!” Meng Xi smiled, “If I mention what I want and ended up getting it by hook or by crook, wouldn’t you find me terrifying?”

“Terrifying?” Wang Yu shook his head, “Nope! I think I have basically crushed every terrifying thing in my life.”

Meng Xi, “…”

You are good.

…

Even though this quest wasn’t hard, it was incredibly burdensome. Comparatively, it exhausted quite some time too.

When Wang Yu and Meng Xi returned to Twilight City, it was already late afternoon.

Twilight City was still the same setting sun.

Under the setting sun, Wang Yu and Meng Xi entered a dark alley together.

If any random person saw this, he

/she would have some dirty thoughts.

In the alley, Old Man Hermit had been waiting for some time.

After receiving the Black Glorious Stone, Hermit waved his hand as Meng Xi levelled up several times.

This lady started at a low level so having such an increase was not surprising. Following which, Hermit gave her a set of equipment and a few skill books.

Wang Yu, who was by the side, started getting envious.

Ever since Wang Yu came here, he had been Hermit’s slave and almost died on several occasions because of his quests. He even tried to scam the rewards that he gave out…

Meng Xi merely helped him with one quest and her rewards were already so amazing. How infuriating!

“What kind of quest is this? He even gave you a set of equipment?” Wang Yu asked out of curiosity.

“A level 20 job change quest. Didn’t he give you when you did it?” Meng Xi asked.

“I…”

Wang Yu got even more depressed at the thought of the level 20 job change quest.

Damn it! Back then, Wang Yu travelled across the entire Brave Continent, came across a powerful BOSS, offended all of the impressive NPCs and besides managing to change his job successfully, he didn’t even get anything. Even the mask that he got was from exchanging equipment.

Looking at Meng Xi again… Wang Yu suddenly felt like punching Hermit in the face.

“Hehe!” And Hermit appeared as though he saw through Wang Yu’s thoughts as he smiled and said, “Little brat, you want to beat me up, right?”

“En!” Wang Yu nodded.

If it was a simple favoring of another, Wang Yu could still tolerate it. However, the difference was simply so vast that even a good-tempered Wang Yu wouldn’t feel comfortable.

“Hahaha!” Hermit laughed out loud, “This is the Martial God’s test for you. Because in this world, only you can inherit his final wishes. The Martial God always mentions that when heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always first frustrates his spirit and will, exhausts his muscles and bones, exposes him to starvation and poverty…”

“Is that so?”

Hearing what Hermit said, Wang Yu felt slightly better.

“Of course!” Hermit replied in a serious manner, “I am a disciplined NPC and I have never lied to anyone. Do you think you can become the heir of the Martial God?”

“Of course!” Wang Yu patted his chest, “If I am unable to, I doubt anyone in this world can.”

Just as Wang Yu said that, a system notification made him freeze on the spot.

Quest introduction: When Martial God descended on this piece of land, humans were governed by all kinds of gods. Martial God said, “Men are born to be free and there is no need for any gods in this world.” In ten years, Martial God slaughtered dragons, gods and devils such that every expert in the universe acknowledges this sentence.

As darkness fell, the world started fighting again. Martial God’s departure made humans lose faith and only an existence as mighty as the Martial God could restore the dignity of humanity.

Quest content: Collect Dragon’s Reverse Scale 0

/1, Heart of Flames 0

/1, God’s Glory 0

/1, Black Glorious Stone 0

/1.

“F*ck!”

Looking at this quest notification, Wang Yu realised he fell for Hermit’s trap again.

This old man knew that Wang Yu had something against his quests so now he even started giving out quests secretly.

S-grade quest was already considered peak grade in <>, let alone SS-grade.

It was basically a series of quests that was impossible for players to complete.

It was usually formed by combining two or more S-grade quests.

Everyone knew just how difficult S-grade quests were. Ever since the opening of the server, only a minute few managed to complete S-grade quests. One could imagine just how difficult an SS-grade quest was.

This wasn’t humane at all!

Who knows just what this Martial God was truly up to? He should have just gone missing without leaving a job behind which eventually made life so difficult for his descendants.
