“Whoa, Brother Ming is so OP!”
“Massacre! This is absolutely a one-sided beatdown!”
“These damned sea tribe fools, now they know Brother Ming's power!”
Players enthusiastically crowded around, some even examining the corpses of the sea tribe warriors. A few quick-thinking players picked up the sea tribe warriors' bone spears.
“Take it back, glue it together, maybe it'll still work!” One player gleefully grabbed a broken bone spear.
“Sea tribe army?” At this moment, Starry's eyes lit up as he recalled the words of the dying sea tribe captain.
“Could this be a new storyline? Sea tribe invasion?”
“Does this mean a massive sea tribe assault is coming soon?”
Starry wasn't the only one who thought of this. Many players quickly realized the same thing.
“Whoa, is the sea tribe invasion storyline unlocked?”
“When are the sea tribes coming? I need revenge!”
“I'm so tired of farming War Camel Beasts. Finally, new monsters!”
“But these sea tribes are so OP. How do we fight them?”
“Why panic? Brother Ming's got us covered!”
“Exactly! And Brother Niu Roumian will show them with his 100 Leap of Faith combos—teach those sea tribes a lesson!”
The players were abuzz with excitement. After days of repetitive gameplay, endlessly farming War Camel Beasts, many were eager for new challenges.
Although farming and construction tasks had their charm, most players were here for the combat!
“Mission Issued: Sect Task – Repel the Sea Tribe Invasion.”
“Objective: Defend against the first wave of the sea tribe assault and slay 100+ sea tribe warriors.”
“The faster and more thorough the completion, the higher the evaluation and the richer the rewards!”
This system notification stunned He Yiming.
Even the system had issued a mission, confirming that the sea tribe assault was inevitable and that their numbers would likely be overwhelming.
A conservative estimate? At least a hundred sea tribe warriors.
What's more, if a Foundation Establishment-level sea tribe warrior appeared, survival alone would be a struggle!
“Should I abandon the sect?”
This thought flashed through He Yiming's mind.
He had personally witnessed the might of Foundation Establishment warriors at Haotian Academy.
They were on a completely different level from the Spiritual Vein Realm!
Even if a hundred peak Spiritual Vein Realm cultivators joined forces, they might not withstand a single blow from a Foundation Establishment warrior!
And he was only in the late Spiritual Vein Realm!
“If I abandon the sect… my position as Sect Leader will be gone forever!” He Yiming understood one thing clearly: in this world of cultivation, one step back often meant retreating forever.
This calamity—the sea tribe assault—was a test he had to face.
If he backed down now, he'd never again have the chance to establish a sect or ascend to the peak of cultivation!
“Disciples!!!”
He Yiming made his decision instantly. He turned to the players, his gaze resolute.
The players fell silent, waiting for him to speak.
“On the next rainy day, the sea tribe will launch a massive assault!”
“The sea tribe and human cultivators are mortal enemies—one side must perish!”
“The sea tribe army will be vast, likely numbering in the hundreds, and even a terrifying Foundation Establishment warrior may take action!”
“They won't stop until we're all dead!”
“Will you stand with me, and fight to the death for Yanhuang Sect?!”
He Yiming's words were firm, his expression unwavering.
He had resolved to fight to the bitter end.
Retreat might save his life, but it would mean losing the sect, the system, and everything he had built.
From that moment on, he would be lost in the crowd, living a life of regret.
Better to fight!
After all, he had already died once before being reincarnated into this world.
Why fear death again?
He Yiming issued a new quest simultaneously.
[Epic Quest: Defend Yanhuang Sect]
[Mandatory for all players]
Objective: Defend against the sea tribe assault at all costs and ensure Sect Leader He Yiming survives.
Reward: 100,000 Sect Contribution Points (divided among all participating players).
Special Reward: ???
Note: If He Yiming dies, the mission fails, the game's open beta ends, and all players permanently lose access to the game.
The system's announcement sent the players into a frenzy!
“Whoa, an epic quest? Defend Yanhuang Sect?”
“100,000 contribution points? Doesn't that mean each player gets over a thousand?”
“And a special reward? Could it be weapons and equipment? Is this the start of the equipment system?”
“Wait, if Brother Ming dies, the open beta ends? We won't even be able to log in anymore?”
The players were in uproar.
An epic quest indeed!
Success meant incredible rewards for everyone.
Failure meant the open beta would end, and the game would be gone for good!
What a thrill!
“Disciples, return to the sect with me! Bring back the sea tribe corpses—maybe we can study them!” He Yiming commanded, leading the players back to the sect.
Once there, He Yiming ordered everyone to prepare for battle while he returned to the Sect Leader's secret chamber.
“To reach the peak of the Spiritual Vein Realm, I need 2,500 Destiny Points… but I barely have 200.”
“Armament Haki is strong against opponents of the same level, but against Foundation Establishment warriors, who knows how effective it'll be?”
“It seems my only hope is the newly acquired Heavenly Thunder Body!”
He Yiming contemplated deeply before closing his eyes.
“Crackle!”
In the next moment, golden lightning surged around He Yiming's body, roaring and flashing with a dazzling brilliance.
Meanwhile, at the sect's main square…
The players had lost all interest in farming War Camel Beasts. Instead, they gathered at the square, eagerly discussing the new sea tribe invasion storyline.
