Looking at the falling bodies, Bai Ye wiped the blood off the famous saber "Bloodthirst" and stepped over the corpse, entering Pallet Town.
Now, the grievances were settled.
If the other party hadn't sought trouble after the Death Football match, Bai Ye wouldn't have acted.
But since they did seek trouble…
Then he'd eliminate them all!
In his past life, Bai Ye had very few enemies, because all his enemies were dead.
It was the simplest and most straightforward method. Since the other party didn't treat the Death Football match as a mere competition in the Glorious Arena and harbored animosity, Bai Ye had no choice but to end the feud.
After entering Pallet Town, Bai Ye headed straight for the Glorious Arena.
Since he had used a ticket to teleport there, Bai Ye could teleport back directly from the Glorious Arena.
Before uprooting the weeds, Bai Ye had been patient, but now that the matter was concluded, Bai Ye was somewhat eager.
It had been five or six days since he left the Great Wall. He didn't know if Mulan's letter had received a reply from Chang'an, and he didn't want his hidden quest to go to waste.
As Bai Ye pondered this, he arrived at the Glorious Arena and found a waiter.
Soon, white radiance enveloped Bai Ye's body, shrouding him.
When the white light dissipated, he found himself surrounded by the tents of the Great Wall Guard.
Bai Ye stretched and pushed open the door.
"Huh?" Bai Ye looked at the entrance and muttered, "What's going on?"
The entrance to the tent was empty; not a soul was in sight.
This was clearly abnormal. Normally, Mulan and Kai would spar here often, and even if they weren't present, other Great Wall Guards would be coming and going.
But now, in front of Bai Ye's door, there wasn't even a ghost.
Bemused, Bai Ye walked outside.
Soon, Bai Ye noticed many people heading towards the city gate, and looking afar in that direction, he could see a sea of heads.
Bai Ye immediately moved towards the city gate. Upon reaching the vicinity, the area was densely packed with people. Looking up towards the city tower, he could vaguely hear shouts of battle.
Bai Ye casually grabbed someone and asked, "What's happening?"
"What's happening?" The person glanced at Bai Ye and said, "Demon invasion. Move back, don't cut in line."
As he spoke, the person pushed Bai Ye aside and squeezed forward.
"Demon invasion?" Bai Ye looked around and said, "No wonder there are so many people."
The city tower had limited space, and people needed to spread out onto the Great Wall on either side to allow others to ascend the tower. Therefore, everyone was currently waiting below the tower.
Bai Ye had obviously arrived late and could do nothing but queue up honestly. However, before queuing, Bai Ye went to find the quartermaster.
"You have received a quest."
"Demon invasion of the Great Wall. Please strive to battle them. Quest rewards: Level 1 Demon (Merit x1), Level 2 Demon (Merit x3), Level 3 Demon (Merit x5), Elite Demon (Merit x20), Demon Leader (Merit x100)."
The Great Wall Guard's quests primarily awarded merit points, whether for hunting missions, building houses, or running errands. These merit points could then be exchanged for items.
However, the items obtainable in the neutral zone were very limited, generally capped at blue quality, and terrifyingly expensive. The cheapest blue quality item cost three thousand merit points, and accumulating that much merit would take about a month. It would be faster during attack events, perhaps half a month.
But to get a blue quality item in half a month…
Bai Ye couldn't be bothered with these missions; it was a pure waste of time.
There were also black quality items, but…
A black quality Tang blade cost thirty-five thousand merit points…
Hiding in the neutral zone for over half a year just to exchange for a black quality item, what was the point?
Therefore, there was no future in staying solely in the neutral zone.
As Bai Ye mused, he found a secluded corner and brought out the gacha machine.
Since he had to queue to get onto the city tower and had time to spare, he might as well do a couple of pulls. Besides, Bai Ye hadn't suddenly decided to change his reward to the Iron Slime just because the unknown future was more interesting, as he had told Jinsha; he had a bold idea.
As the gacha machine spun, Bai Ye prayed, "Cannon, cannon, cannon, give me a cannon!"
Fighting demons, if he got an Italian cannon at this moment, he'd be unstoppable.
And then…
Vulcan Gatling (Machine Gun) (Blue): A world-renowned machine gun, known as the Vulcan. Caliber: 0.6 inches, Barrels: 10, Barrel Length: 1524 mm, Overall Length: 2032 mm. Rate of fire per barrel: 1000 rounds/min. Effect: Full Auto (Your magazine is always full). Standing King (After standing and firing for 30 seconds in a continuous stationary state, your bullet damage doubles).
Bai Ye looked at the blue gacha that appeared…
Although it wasn't an Italian cannon, a machine gun with infinite ammo was a master of mowing down enemies, incredibly powerful!
Machine guns were also quite useful against large numbers of grunts.
Bai Ye wasn't picky; a machine gun was a machine gun. He then pulled another gacha.
A moment later, the second gacha rolled out of the machine. It was a green gacha, just an ordinary day.
Yin-Yang Talisman (Weapon) (Green): A talisman that can inscribe Yin-Yang formations. After inscribing the formation, an area-of-effect attack can be launched within the formation. Effect: Demonic Bane (Damage against targets with demonic, evil spirit, or ghost attributes is doubled).
"Things from the Land of the Rising Sun aren't that great; I feel they're inferior to Daoist talismans."
Bai Ye pouted. However, drawing from the gacha wasn't Bai Ye's ultimate goal this time.
Soon, Bai Ye released the Iron Slime, and then he dumped all his belongings on the ground.
"Eat!" Bai Ye commanded, "Eat until you explode!"
The Iron Slime wriggled its body, crawled onto the sword sheath of the Seven-Colored Rainbow, and as it writhed, the Iron Slime's body gradually grew, quickly engulfing the sword sheath. In no time, the sword sheath began to shrink visibly, being consumed by the Iron Slime.
"Iron Slime has consumed Seven-Colored Rainbow and gained Devour Growth."
"Iron Slime Devour Growth, current growth value: 78/1000."
"Seven-Colored Rainbow only has 78 growth value?" Bai Ye picked up other items and said, "Eat, keep eating, eat it all."
"Iron Slime has consumed Condensing Frost and gained Devour Growth."
"Iron Slime Devour Growth, current growth value: 151/1000."
"Iron Slime has consumed the famous saber Bloodthirst and gained Devour Growth."
"Iron Slime Devour Growth, current growth value: 209/1000."
