Chapter 1: The Grudges and Gratitude of That Sword

Although the sword wielded by Bai Niao Sheng had a profound impact, it was not the assassination of the president that dealt a heavy blow to the World Sword Association. Shortly after committing this monumental act, Bai Niao Sheng posted a message titled "The Grievances and Affections of That Sword" within ten minutes. The uproar caused by this post was not merely limited to its influence on "Shu Mountain 2," the most popular fantasy MMORPG, but it also made the front page headlines of over sixty media outlets, generating buzz for a full sixteen months. This post, which was humorous yet slightly sentimental, and sharp yet subtly provocative, completely shattered the last remnants of morale within the World Sword Association, leaving no trace behind.

I would like to remind you once again that as long as I do not delete my account, you will never be able to revoke my position. After all, I put in a great deal of effort for the task of establishing the guild, and it was I who obtained the guild's token.

The Grudges and Graces of That Sword

It cannot be surpassed

Whenever someone mentions this matter in the game, they often conclude with a phrase frequently spoken by Bai Niao Sheng...

By the way, later I will go after that favorite of yours, hehe, he is the warehouse number of our World Sword Association, right? It is said that he possesses some rare materials that are unique in the game, and I estimate that he should drop quite a lot of items. Of course, killing him once won't yield many items or books, so I have prepared over thirty resurrection charms for him. Oh dear! It really hurts, each one costs three hundred taels of gold. Fortunately, we are in the same guild, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use this on him.

This sword has changed the landscape of "Shushan 2," the most popular Xianxia game among players nationwide, in the simplest and most direct way

The more pain you cause my heart, the faster my sword can strike, the greater the pain, the swifter the strike, this is the essence of exhilaration

Well, hereby, I bid you farewell! My beloved leader! Your eternal deputy leader, Bai Niao Sheng Zi

Although my level is not high, being able to become the vice leader of the World Sword Association is still a testament to my abilities. You also know that my skills in the entire "Shushan 2" are among the best. After defeating you, I launched a surprise attack on more than 130 members of the guild. Some of these individuals had previously joined you in besieging me, while others were innocent. Please help me apologize to those who are relatively innocent, and just say that I will not be returning the items I looted from them.

That sword, like fireworks in full bloom, has already reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship

Because no one can take revenge more passionately than the Hundred Birds, and no one can repay grievances more straightforwardly than this bird.

The president of the World Sword Association, Dugu Qiubai, was filled with ambition as he announced to tens of thousands of players from the World Sword Association that he was about to engage in the most critical all-server battle with the second largest guild in the game, the Qinglong Society, when he was unexpectedly slain by his most trusted deputy, Bai Niao Sheng, with a single sword strike.

Aside from having reversed the situation, you must be relishing this wonderful experience, watching everything you worked hard to build—the guild, the reputation, the wealth—turn into the past. I guess you are truly grateful to me for giving you the opportunity to become a great figure like Goujian. This opportunity is rare, and you should seize it well. Talents that grow from adversity are always invaluable. If you really cannot accept that such a thing has happened to you, then enjoy the process and ignore the outcome.

Talents that grow from adversity are always invaluable. If you really cannot accept that such a thing has happened to you, then enjoy the process and ignore the outcome. Just consider it as reading a novel that starts interestingly but ends poorly.

I forgot to mention! When you died, you dropped the Seven Birds Sword. Although this is the most famous set of flying swords in the server, I believe you no longer need them. I gave them to the NPC in the server and sold them for 100,000 taels of gold. Unfortunately, this is the highest price for equipment recycling in the server; the system is always quite stingy, isn't it? Hmm, back then, you spent over 100,000 to gather this set of flying swords, right? Oh, of course, that was in real currency, not the gold in the game. It seems that the exchange rate for gold to real currency is currently 105 to 1 on the black market; gold is really not worth much!

Furthermore, do not be surprised that your most esteemed Tianxia team has not appeared; it was I who conveyed your message, instructing them to launch a counterattack against the headquarters of the Qinglong Society. I also informed them that there are traitors within our Tianxia Sword Association, and they must not communicate to avoid detection by these traitors. I estimate that those fools should have all been eliminated by now. I share this with you to alleviate any suspicions you may have; those individuals remain quite loyal to you and are not like me, a traitor. They have not betrayed you. They all have their reasons for acting as they did, and you must forgive them. I mention this to prevent you from being overly suspicious; those individuals are indeed loyal to you and are not like me, a traitor. They have not betrayed you. They all have their reasons for acting as they did, and you must forgive them. Understanding the reason why over a hundred good brothers did not appear on the battlefield against the Qinglong Society is not a reflection of your failure as a person, but rather a sign of your foolishness, and you must find some comfort in that.

In order to deliver this perfect strike at such a critical moment, Bai Niao Sheng has privately practiced 20,061 times. He could have practiced even more perfectly, but he already knew before executing this strike that the outcome was clear; even if he practiced another 100,000 times, it would merely be a waste of time

Even if the leader of the Minjiang Sect, Drunken Blue Ox, holds the top rank in "Shushan 2" and is getting married; even if the top expert, Clear Wind and Bright Sword, single-handedly assassinates the game's first BOSS, the Long Eyebrow Ancestor of Emei; even if the so-called Seven Fairies, the top ten beauties of "Shushan 2", experience the incident of being stripped and running naked due to a game bug; none of these can surpass!

When I first started playing "Shushan 2," I worked hard to level up every day, and my ranking was steadily improving. However, at that time, Dugu Qiubai approached me, bringing along his more than fifty brothers. Just because I posed a threat to his ranking, he resorted to the unrefined tactic of besieging me, causing me to lose a total of fifteen levels.

The fourth highest player, Du Gu Qiu Ou, in "Shu Mountain 2" has since vanished from the game, and no one has seen this individual in the game again

Indeed, Du Gu Qiu Ou, you are forty levels higher than me, a person who has come back from the brink. You also have a group of allies. However, when I swing this sword, everything you possess cannot reverse the outcome of the Sword Conference, nor can it change the reality of your level loss. What you once gave me, I will return to you in kind. Isn't it your greatest pleasure to trample on the hard-earned achievements of others?

The deputy leader of the Sword Association, Bai Niao Sheng, although his level is nearly forty levels lower than the average level of the top players in the game, still managed to secure a place among the top ten experts in "He * Tu * Shu Shu Mountain 2". Many have lamented that if Bai Niao Sheng had not entered "Shu Mountain 2" too late, he would not have lost at the starting line. With his flying sword manipulation skills, he might not have been inferior to the three top experts. No one knows why such an experienced gamer only rose to prominence like a meteor a year after the game was released, losing the most precious time to start.

Indeed, this is how it is in the game; there is no so-called morality among the players. Everyone praises him as a remarkable hero for having killed a master ranked three places above him, thus entering the top ten of "Shushan 2." I, who was demoted, was soon forgotten by everyone. Of course, the only person who cannot forget this incident is myself. Therefore, I changed my name, re-applied for an account, and began the arduous journey of leveling up from level one, while also joining the Tianxia Sword Association.

When this secret was revealed, the popularity of Bai Niao surged dramatically, even surpassing the three most formidable masters in "Shu Mountain 2". This classic revenge plot became the top myth during the 40th anniversary celebration of the game "Shu Mountain 2", and it remained unmatched by any event until the complete shutdown of the "Shu Mountain 2" servers.

One second ago, Dugu Qiubai was basking in glory, and one second later, Dugu Qiubai faced the most humiliating moment of his life: being instantly defeated
