Duyou Holiness still sat by the lake, and his deep eyes stared at the surface of the lake as if they were trying to pierce through the water and reach the depths of the lake.
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the water; it seemed like a huge monster was going to emerge from the center of the lake.
The schools of fish swimming in the lake seemed to have sensed the danger and tried to escape. At this moment, huge waves surged up, and a vicious dragon swallowed lots of fish in one instant!
Duyou Holiness’s face turned cold.
As the master of the whole lake, he couldn’t go into the lake in person and fight with this evil dragon.
It was beneath him. If he did that, it would be harming his reputation.
Besides, the Three Saint Gates had rarely moved in the mortal world and didn’t usually mind worldly business. If he moved rashly, people would think that the Three Saint Gates were coming out of their hermit lifestyle.
He thought that it was not time to break the rule which had governed the Three Saint Gates for thousands of years.
“Lightning strikes?” Of course, he wouldn’t believe the rumors as his disciples did, but…
His eyes and expression were unreadable while he was in deep thought.
Then, he stood up on the side of the lake.
However, since the rumors couldn’t be proven to be false, there was the chance that they could be real!
“Hehe!” He snickered. “Although this rumor is not believable, it sure reminded me of something!”
Internet addiction might not exist, but I can just make it real. When more people hear of the rumors and pa.s.s them around, they will become the truth.
He didn’t believe that lightning strikes could cure internet addiction, but with more people hearing the rumor, it would become the truth, and people would believe it. That was enough for him.
…
“I got to say, that Sister is really helpful and pa.s.sionate!” Mr. Fang was pleased since…

Yes, with the Bone of a Master and Deep Ocean Black Iron that Ning Bi gave to him, Fang Qi had finished this task and even gotten his rewards!
“Sir, you don’t really think that you can take her things for free?” The girls looked at him in disdain.
“I can’t?” Mr. Fang waved his hand and said, “You’re right… since I benefited from her, I must give her something back. Maybe I’ll take her to level up or something.”
They were all at a loss for words.
“Maybe I’ll give her a set of items. It will be enough, right?”
They all felt embarra.s.sed for him.
“Since the shop owner says so, I’m quite satisfied.” At this moment, a charming voice sounded from behind Fang Qi. “I’ll appreciate your guidance.”
“No problem!”
Since Red Wing Daoist was eager to put his hands on the treasure, he walked ahead of the others and killed all the people with ill intentions. Therefore, the others who had walked down the road after him didn’t experience any turbulence.
The Xichi Spiritual Master, cultivators of the Haoran Faction and Yimu Daoist Palace, some independent cultivators who had bought items, and even a few cultivators who hadn’t bought things walked into the shop one after another.
“Ugh? How come there’s a beggar here? Such bad luck!” Duan Lan, the person who hated Fang Qi for stealing his thunder, saw Red Wing Daoist, who was in his tattered robes, sitting in front of a computer by the door.
The moment he said it, a chilling gaze turned to him. “Kid, who are you talking about?!”
All the cultivators looked at Red Wing Daoist who had just turned his head, and they were a little speechless.
The grey-clothed cultivator’s face turned dark, and he slammed his hand on the back of Duan Lan’s head. “Apologize!”
With cold sweat popping out on his head, Duan Lan immediately apologized and fled.
Who would expect a grand cultivator at the peak stage of the Divine Ocean Realm to dress like this?! He was unlucky!
Then he saw a familiar figure. Standing before Mr. Fang, he sneered, “You again? What a coincidence!”
I will vent my frustration on this kid!
With his hands on his waist, he said viciously, “d.a.m.n kid, do you still remember me?”
“Sir, who’s this guy?” The girls were baffled.
On the other side, Jin Wu glanced at the people coming into the shop and said, “If you’re here to get items or skill books, go and ask Mr. Fang to get you a computer and activate the game!”
Duan Lan was still sneering on the side. “You’re really forgetful. Aren’t you…”
Before he could finish, he felt a chilly glance turning to him.
A palm slammed him on the back of his head.
“Who hit me again?!” Duan Lan screamed and looked back, and he saw that the grey-clothed cultivator’s face was as dark as the bottom of a burned pot!
Jin Wu had just told the people to go to the shop owner first before getting the items and the skill books, but Duan Lan was insulting the shop owner right now!
“Are you a moron?!” He slammed his palm on the back of Duan Lan’s head again and said, “Apologize!”
“Ok…”
Duan Lan sulkily apologized and stood by the door, feeling bitter inside.
Meanwhile Mr. Fang walked to the small blackboard and erased the introduction of the Legend of Mir 2 on the top of the board before writing eight big words: Battle for the Royal City; Winner Becomes King!
“Battle for the Royal City; winner becomes king?” The Xi Chi Spiritual Master and the masters of the major forces looked at the big words in bafflement.
Confused, people like Black Demon asked, “Sir, what’s this?”
“You have three days to register for the compet.i.tion and four days to prepare for the Battle for the Royal City. The winner will be the King!” Fang Qi said, “The Battle for Sand City will begin in the Legend of Mir 2.”
By now, the main battlefield of the adventurers had s.h.i.+fted from Biqi Province to Mengchong Province. Since the Zuma Temple was near Sand City, the latter had become the gathering and resting place for the adventurers. Anyone who could take Sand City would become the king of the whole world!
It was the so-called Battle for the Royal City!
Obviously, it would bring great benefits to the players, giving great convenience for the players to level up and obtain treasures. Now, the winner of the battle will get more rewards: the three real G.o.dly weapons and the Wilma Cornett!
“The three real G.o.dly weapons?” Hearing Fang Qi’s introduction, people began to digest the information.
“Sir,” Tang Yuan of Yuanheng Pavilion tried to repeat the most important part of all that information. “Do you mean that the Bone Jade Staff I bought isn’t just a virtual item. It exists in the real world, and the way to obtain it is through this event, ‘Battle for the Royal City; winner becomes King’?!”
“The three G.o.dly weapons are real items!?”
They all looked stunned.
Each of the three G.o.dly weapons had a unique background. Take the Dragon Mark Sword as an example. This sword was made by the ‘Dragon Smith’, and the symbolic green dragon patterns represented extreme Yang Energy, spreading all over the s.h.i.+mmering sword body.
According to the legends, the Taoist who first gets his or her hands on the Dragon Mark Sword could drip blood on the dragon pattern on the end of the sword handle. If the blood traveled all the way along the dragon pattern to the tip of the sword, the sword wouldn’t be afraid of any evil energy. If the owner of the sword were cursed, the person who planted the curse would be injured by the backlash instead.
Each of the three G.o.dly weapons had its own unique and powerful ability, and everyone knew what it meant if they could get the real items!
