Chapter 112: The Guild's Declaration of War

At this moment, Zhou Jingchen had already taken over Yu Qian’s account and used the Soul-Stealing Banner on everyone on the enemy list before assembling his own team.

Seeing that the “zzz” symbol above Yun Qian’s head had disappeared and the team status had returned, the members of Shengshi paused their actions.

[Current] Nan Yuan: “The coward isn’t playing dead anymore?”

Glancing at Nan Yuan’s message, Zhou Jingchen said nothing and simply ignored it. Instead, he turned to his own account and invited the Azure Lotus Hermit to join the team. “Find two healers and one damage dealer.”

[Team] Azure Lotus Hermit: “One minute, they’re logging in.”

[Team] Yun Shen: “Once they’re online, apply to join immediately. Prepare food boxes, talisman buffs, and status potions.”

[Team] Azure Lotus Hermit: “Understood.”

There were many healers in the Poetic Charm guild, but only Yu Xuanji and Li Qingzhao belonged to the Saint group; the others were outsiders they had recruited.

Li Bai waited patiently, but Du Fu, this extraordinary player, had already logged in and summoned his pets. The two others still hadn’t appeared, and growing impatient, he called out to them.

“We’re logging in! Why are you rushing us?” Yu Xuanji snapped back irritably.

“When you buy potions, get some for us too. We’ll trade them later,” Li Qingzhao casually asked Li Bai to help purchase the items.

“...” Li Bai was speechless but said nothing, simply following orders to buy the potions.

The two logged in and joined the team, immediately applying all buffs: “Fly.”

Zhou Jingchen set follow mode and flew toward Agra.

In the Ghost Realm of “The Enchanting Soul,” the setting from their past life continued: those not soul-seized needed to enter through the NPC Mahar at the Agra Taj Mahal.

The Shengshi members continued to curse loudly; Yun Qian was “zzz” again, nearly driving Nan Yuan mad, who resumed attacking.

They rushed their team to Yun Qian’s coordinates, where Shengshi was on its 133rd kill.

Yun Shen quickly canceled follow mode, then unleashed a four-sided silence spell. At the same time, Azure Lotus Hermit detonated a fire thunder trap, and Shaoling Elder aimed at Nan Yuan, sending seven familiars rushing toward her with a united will.

Suddenly controlled and attacked, the Shengshi players were flustered, unable to apply buffs and only managing to use an ultimate skill before dying.

Nan Yuan, the healer, struggled even to heal herself and could only watch helplessly as her teammates fell one by one. Upon revival, everyone realized they were still in the Ghost Realm and understood they had been soul-seized. Before they could process this, Nan Yuan died as well and was revived in the same realm, also soul-seized.

[World Broadcast] Nan Yuan: “Poetic Charm, what do you think you’re doing?”

[World Broadcast] Yun Shen: “1.”

[World Broadcast] Nan Yuan: “Poetic Charm, this doesn’t concern you. If you don’t want to get beaten, leave immediately!”

[World Broadcast] Yun Shen: “2.”

[World Broadcast] Yu Xuanji: “Damn idiots, we’re protecting our own students, what’s it to you?”

Seeing this broadcast, Nan Yuan was stunned. Students? A teacher bringing students to play games???

[World Broadcast] Nan Yuan: “A teacher bringing students to play games? Don’t tell me Yun Qian, that promiscuous girl, is your student too? What do you call that? When the leader is crooked, the followers go astray!”

[World Broadcast] Li Qingzhao: “Young lady, why do you have such a foul mouth? Where is your upbringing?”

[World Broadcast] Nan Yuan: “Upbringing my ass! Who asked you to mind how I speak? A bunch of old promiscuous women leading a young promiscuous girl around in the game, begging for sponsorships, and still have the nerve to broadcast on world chat?”

Yu Xuanji and Li Qingzhao, refined by years of education and skilled in poetry and lyrics, were utterly lost in this quarrel, clearly outmatched in insults. Seeing Nan Yuan’s filthy language on the world channel, they had no idea how to respond.

Li Bai’s eyes turned cold, and he directly chose to declare war.

System: Poetic Charm has declared war on Shengshi for two hours. If defeated, they may choose to surrender.

This system message silenced the bustling world channel.

Although Poetic Charm, like the Six Realms, had many powerful players, it had always been a peaceful guild that never fought others. Helping Yun Shen fight today was already surprising; now declaring war outright was not just astonishing but downright terrifying.
