Through the iron bars of the stone house, Lufeng saw Duan Yu with a face full of spring, while Mu Wanqing was already taking off her clothes, causing Lufeng's blood to boil.
As Mu Wanqing stripped off her clothes, she tugged at Duan Yu's garments, the two of them entwined together. But Duan Yu still struggled to control himself, repeatedly shouting at the stone door: "South Sea Crocodile God! I am willing to worship you as my master and become a disciple of the Nanhai Sect. Please come and save your apprentice! If I die, you won't have any disciples left!"
Lufeng softly replied, "Young Master Duan, I am Lufeng, sent by your father to rescue you!"
Duan Yu was taken aback: "Who is my father? Don't kick me when I'm down! I'm feeling so hot all over; I fear I might... Wanmei has already fainted. Lufeng, if you can get me out of here, I will definitely repay you. Quickly go find my father and uncle to save me and Wanmei... hurry!"
Lufeng smirked and said casually, "You won't die. Duan Yanqing gave you some medicine; hang in there. If it really gets bad, just take care of yourself; don't harm yourself!"
Duan Yu was almost in tears: "Self-relief is useless! Duan Yanqing is such a bastard. Since he made me and Wanmei take that medicine—ah! Lufeng, please go tell my father to come save me."
"Alright, I'll go right away. Just take care of yourself!" Lufeng readily accepted this task—[Evil Person of Notorious Reputation].
Mission Objective: Find Duan Zhengchun of the Dali Kingdom at the South King’s Mansion in Dali Town and report what you learned about Duan Yu.
"Be careful; that Azure Robed Zombie is the 'Evil Person of Notorious Reputation'—Duan Yanqing!" Duan Yu warned.
"Don't worry!"
After saying this, Lufeng and Wang Xiaojing used the Dali teleportation back to town and headed towards the South King’s Mansion to minimize their time exiting Wanjie Valley.
Upon receiving the news, Lufeng hurried towards the South King’s Mansion, recalling the scene between Duan Yu and Mu Wanqing. It felt somewhat melodramatic; however, such matters of mutual affection rarely occur around him, making it hard for ordinary people to understand.
After finding Duan Zhengchun, Lufeng recounted everything he had learned in detail.
"This... this... I will inform my royal brother immediately! Please wait here for a moment!" Duan Zhengchun said in a panic.
"Alright!" Lufeng nodded in response, looking at the indecisive Duan Zhengchun. The previous calm demeanor was gone, replaced by that of a playboy, superficial and resembling a typical young boy.
After a while, when Duan Zhengchun returned, he continued, "Lufeng, my royal brother has already summoned Master Huangmei from Nianhua Temple to deal with Duan Yanqing. I will soon lead Gao Junhou, Teacher Cui, and others like our teacher and the Four Great Guardians to Wanjie Valley to rescue Yu'er. You should prepare quickly; we will meet at Wanjie Valley!"
"I am already prepared!"
After Lufeng finished speaking, he did not continue with Duan Zhengchun but found Hua Hegen and entered the entrance of Wanjie Valley, passing through the Wooden Dummy guards into Wanjie Valley.
Once Lufeng and the others entered the valley, Duan Zhengchun and his group were already waiting at the entrance of Wanjie Valley. Lufeng was surprised and couldn't help but mutter, "These kids have a shortcut and didn't tell me!"
Seeing Lufeng arrive, Duan Zhengchun happily said, "Hero Lufeng, the team to rescue Yu'er has gathered. Aside from my royal brother Emperor Baoding in Dali Kingdom, everyone else looks up to you."
Lufeng was even more astonished: "So I am not just below one person but above ten thousand?"
Duan Zhengchun's face twitched slightly as he coldly replied, "Don't give me that look. If you don't want to rescue her, I will naturally arrange for someone else to do it!"
"Of course I will rescue her! Brother Qiao and I are brothers; Young Master Duan is also Brother Qiao's brother, which makes him my brother too. How could I stand by and do nothing? Quickly tell me how we are going to save her!" Lufeng rambled on, bringing up Qiao Feng.
"Oh? Is that so?" Duan Zhengchun's eyes turned as he thought for a moment before continuing, "Since you are Yu'er's brother, I won't beat around the bush. If I'm not mistaken, Master Huangmei should have found a way to stall Duan Yanqing by now. We just need to eliminate the other three major Evil Persons to rescue Yu'er."
"Great! I'll go right away. Quickly tell me where those three major Evil Persons are!" Lufeng said anxiously, almost losing the mission due to his earlier slip of the tongue.
"If I knew where they were, I wouldn't need you!" Duan Zhengchun replied coolly. He then addressed everyone: "Now everyone split up to search for 'Evil Incarnate' Ye Erniang, 'Evil Spirit' Yue Lao San, and 'Ruthless' Cloud Crane. Lufeng, if you manage to find and defeat these three Evil Persons, notify me immediately; otherwise, your efforts will be in vain. Let's go eat first; you can start looking now!"
Lufeng pouted: "Are we saving my son or your son?"
Duan Zhengchun's expression hardened: "Of course it's my son! But you can't let us starve to death here. Man is iron; rice is steel. Only when I'm full can I have the strength to save Yu'er. Hurry up; if you don't want to go, then don't!"
"I'll go—what do you mean I can't go!" Lufeng quickly accepted this task—[Great War of the Abyss Valley].
Mission Objective: Duan Zhengchun asks you to defeat Ye Erniang, Yue Lao San, and Cloud Crane, the three major Evil Persons.
Lufeng felt like he was about to spit blood; this storyline was ridiculous. Duan Zhengchun went off to eat, leaving others to rescue his son, claiming he was loyal to him, yet none of them seemed to listen to him. It was utterly hypocritical.
After accepting the mission, Lufeng didn’t want to deal with any more nonsense; if he continued talking, he might die before even finishing the task. He activated team follow and led Wang Xiaojing and others into the valley.
Not far in, they discovered a large number of guards. Lufeng sensed something was wrong, and when he saw Cloud Crane, he realized it was an ambush. No wonder Duan Zhengchun didn’t dare to follow.
"Qiu Han, you go lure Cloud Crane out and take him down first!" Lufeng whispered to Qiu Han.
Qiu Han nodded silently, reciting Golden Cicada Leaves Its Shell for infinite invisibility. He quietly approached Cloud Crane and then used the single-target close combat skill Iron Chain Across the River. After locking onto the target, he quickly used White Horse Passing Through a Gap to accelerate back.
Successfully attracting Cloud Crane's attention away from the large group of Wanjie Valley guards, everyone surrounded him for an all-out attack while Murong Xiaoxiao provided healing support.
Cloud Crane struggled against five attackers and was soon eliminated by Lufeng and the others.
After killing Cloud Crane, they stealthily searched deeper for Ye Erniang and Yue Lao San.
Walking along the main road into the valley, they soon spotted Yue Lao San. Following their strategy, Yue Lao San also fell under Lufeng's blade.
At that moment, Wanjie Valley guards surrounded them again. The group quickly went invisible to evade the guards and continued deeper into the valley. After a while, they finally saw Ye Erniang holding a wooden doll, mumbling about her child.
Lufeng felt a pang of sympathy; he had killed Yue Lao San and Cloud Crane without a second thought because they seemed weak and were necessary sacrifices for the mission. But facing a woman, a mother, how could Lufeng bring himself to do it?
Seeing Lufeng stop in his tracks, Gao Chao asked in confusion, "Boss, what's wrong?"
"I can't bring myself to do it, you all go!" Lufeng felt a surge of emotions; asking him to take action against a woman was like asking for his own life. Although it was virtual, the feelings this virtual world evoked were too real.
Seeing Lufeng so sentimental, Qin Shou couldn't help but tease, "Come on, boss, we're in a game. Forget it, forget it. Qiu Han, let's go!"
Qiu Han gritted her teeth and replied, "Let's go!"
Du Erniang sensed someone approaching and quickly put down her wooden weapon, revealing a fierce expression that nearly scared everyone to death.
Seeing Du Erniang's expression, which was even more intimidating than Feng Jie’s, Lufeng didn't hold back any longer. He activated Phantom Form, equipped dual-ring weapons, and under the cover of Gao Chao and the others, launched a surprise attack that swiftly severed Du Erniang's neck.
"-5000"
With a critical hit, he instantly cut off Du Erniang's head. Her movement speed slowed dramatically, and she was soon killed by Gao Chao.
Gao Chao couldn't help but laugh, "The boss is the boss, v5!"
Lufeng chuckled while scolding, "Stop talking nonsense. Don't think I enjoy sneak attacks; I had no choice. And don't think I'm trying to show off; it's just that Du Erniang ruined my chance to be the good guy. I bet I'll have nightmares tonight—one moment I'm a kind mother, and the next I'm a vengeful spirit. The game designers are really something."
"Haha~" Gao Chao and the others laughed heartily, no longer feeling guilty about killing a woman.
