Chapter 198: Some people are making trouble
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“An entire force gave up together…” The old man murmured to himself, “Such a thing has never happened in the last 1,000 years.”
After all, the Wuwei Daoist Alliance is a large cultivation force. Since Dajin has no wars going on and didn’t discover any mystical places that they need to explore at the risk of their lives, how come no cultivators want to come to the conference? It is impossible!
“This is a serious issue. If there is anyone who is trying to make trouble for the Cultivation Realm Conference, we can never let it pa.s.s!”
“Master, you summoned me. What happened?” At this moment, a white-clothed young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes walked over.
Like Lu Wu, this young man looked to be in his twenties, but his behavior and temperament oozed an indescribable sense of vicissitude.
He was wearing a white robe, he had a diamond-shaped mark as big as a rice grain between his eyebrows.
The young man narrowed his eyes as if he had always been meditating. He slowly opened his eyes when he came to the old man, and the shocking light emitting from his eyes was so bright that it lit up the stone room.
The people with unstable minds would be dazzled by this intense light and submit to him without a fight!
“Well. Good.” The old man nodded. “Take a trip to Dajin.”
…
“How come I rarely see Senior Nalan recently?” An Cheng and the others walked into the internet cafe and glanced at the small blackboard. “Act V is released?”
Bu Che also complained, “I’ve been waiting for the senior to begin the new act! I can’t even see him now!”
“The shop owner is playing Act V now!” An Cheng saw Fang Qi in one glance. “Let’s go and watch him play!”
At his moment, Fang Qi took back a large light-blue s.h.i.+eld from the barbarian blacksmith.
When he clicked on the item, they exclaimed, “Sir! Four sockets?!”
“The most you can get is three sockets, right?!”
“What’s this?! The shop owner got good items again?!” Hearing An Cheng’s shout, many people looked over.
“My G.o.d! You’re playing Act V now?!” Ji Yang hadn’t finished Act II yet, and he looked at Fang Qi with envy.
“Sir, what are you going to do with this four-socket s.h.i.+eld?” As an experienced player of Diablo, An Cheng knew that Fang Qi was going to make runewords when he saw the grey item with sockets.
“To make a Spirit s.h.i.+eld,” Fang Qi answered; the Ancient’s Pledge could no longer satisfy his needs.
The viewers watched Fang Qi put the runes into the sockets.
“Plus two levels to all skills?!” An Cheng and the others were stupefied after seeing the first bonus.
“250% defense against long-range attacks?!”
“Additional resistance to all elements?!”
Everyone stared at the screen and didn’t know what to say.
“Sir, are you going to take on Diablo alone?” Ji Yang clicked his tongue.
“Nonsense! He killed Diablo long ago!” An Cheng said, “Diablo is in Act IV.”
“How come Diablo is in Act IV?” Ji Yang looked confused. “I don’t understand this plot.”
“It’s okay!” An Cheng said with a smile, “I recommend that you read the official novel of Diablo written by Ms. Shen! Now, the second volume has been published!”
Diablo’s plot wasn’t complicated. The Dark Wanderer, whose body had been taken by Diablo, wanted to revive himself and had released Mephisto and Baal, two big lords of h.e.l.l. The elites of all cla.s.ses chased after the Dark Wanderer but were always one step late, so they had to fight with several bosses.
Finally, Mephisto and Diablo’s soulstones were destroyed at the h.e.l.lforge, and Baal led its army of demons and occupied the center of the world, Worldstone Keep, and Worldstone Chamber.
[TL Note: If we are not wrong, only Mephisto’s soulstone was destroyed at the h.e.l.lforge, and Diablo was directly killed by the player. The author might have made an error.]
The story about Baal was added to the original version.

– Meanwhile in the region of the headquarters of the Wuwei Alliance that belonged to the Blue Flame Faction –
“Senior Brother, I must study the runewords and the blood-refining method, so leave me alone. I’ll go to the internet cafe myself…”
“I thought you were studying the scientific approach to making artifacts!” Lan Mo was speechless at the change of events.
“Haoran complained that the runewords are too profound for him and asked me for help!” Jun Yangzi said, “As for the scientific approach to making artifacts, that kid has gained some progress, and I don’t want to get involved now.
“Okay! Okay! After I study the so-called enchantment recipes…” In the artifact-making room, Jun Yangzi was soaked in sweat. “This method is so weird.”
“Are you going or not?”
“I’ll go later!” Jun Yangzi said impatiently.
“Then, I’ll go now!” Lan Mo said, “I must go there to study Tai Chi Mystic Pure Dao and the sword control technique. I can’t wait for you!”
“Go! Go!”
“Great! I’ll go and watch the TV series!” Lan Mo chuckled and strode out of Wuwei Daoist Alliance with his hands clasped behind his back.
In the artifact making room, Jun Yangzi watched the changes in a grey spiritual sword carefully.
“However, compared with the scientific approach, this method is closer to my style. Well, I’m really confused by the Periodic Table of the Elements, reaction formulas, and trigonometric function!”
…
– In a luxurious estate on the edge of the Jiangnan Region –
Ji Wuyou was sitting with a straight posture, and two rows of people sat on both sides of him. If An Huwei or the other aristocrats in Jiangnan were present, they would recognize that the man sitting on Ji Wuyou’s left was Shangguan Yuan, the head of the No. 2 Shangguan Family in Jiangnan, right after the No. 1 Nalan Family! Wearing a dark grey robe with star patterns, he had a short beard, thick eyebrows, narrow eyes, and fierce eyes.
The guys sitting next to Shangguan Yuan were masters with powerful auras.
The dark figure who had been hiding in the dark now stood behind Ji Wuyou.
He was a middle-aged man in black, and he emitted a gloomy presence.
Ji Wuyou said, “I got the news from the Nalan Family that Nalan Hongwu went on a trip a few days ago, and the destination seems to be Sky Prison Mountain in the north! This gives us a perfect opportunity!”
“Nalan Hongwu and the Nalan Family are now separated,” Ji Wuyou said, “I think you’ve waited for this day for a long time!”
“This is a great opportunity to take down the Nalan Family!” Ji Wuyou studied the people present as he continued, “From now on, you don’t have to submit to the Nalan Family anymore. From now on, you will become the master of this beautiful and rich land! From now on, there will be no one with the family name ‘Nalan’!”
