Chapter 5: Traitor

"It can't be that way!" The figure in the mirror beside him clicked his tongue, "There have been many betrayals in the game, so why is it that Ah Fei is the one who is not favored?"

As for the couple known as the Mirror Person and the Moon in the Water, they have acquired a pair of sharp weapons: a sword and a saber, named "Wandering Dragon, Startled Phoenix." Although they are far inferior to the legendary "Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber," they can still compete with the Gentleman's and Lady's Sword once used by Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu. The two of them already possessed a martial arts skill that combined sword and saber techniques, making it all the more effective for them. ... It is worth mentioning that the role of these weapons in the game is second only to martial arts; aside from those who rely on bare-handed techniques, everyone is vying for these divine weapons ...

It is worth mentioning that the role of these weapons in the game is second only to martial arts; aside from those who rely on bare-handed techniques, everyone is vying for these divine weapons ...

The four of them chatted for a while again, momentarily forgetting about the matter of A Fei being a traitor of Mount Hua. However, the setting sun reminded A Fei to be cautious of the people from Mount Hua, as there were at least tens of thousands of individuals currently inquiring about his whereabouts, preparing to undertake sect missions. As for the gains from this trip, the greatest benefit was reaped by the setting sun, as he completed the Deadly Three Immortal Swords, which could be considered as possessing advanced martial arts. In the novel, the Deadly Three Immortal Swords is a single move, but in the game, it was shamelessly divided into three moves by the designers. Each move, while immensely powerful, is significantly weaker when separated. Regarding the gains from this trip, the setting sun indeed benefited the most, having completed the Deadly Three Immortal Swords, thus possessing advanced martial arts. This time, during the valley mission, the setting sun had exceptionally good luck, encountering an NPC who wielded a sword, which allowed him to complete the Three Immortal Swords. As a result, the power of the three moves greatly increased, almost rivaling that of typical ultimate skills, indicating that the setting sun had already stepped into the ranks of first-rate masters.

"No exaggeration, you little rascal are quite something. You just entered the game and have already angered the entire Huashan Sect. You should know that the number of people in Huashan right now is the highest among the top ten sects in the game, with over 300,000 members. You've stirred up trouble, so hurry up and delete your account and commit suicide!" The setting sun gritted his teeth. As a disciple of Huashan, he felt the urge to draw his sword.

A Fei kicked the person in the mirror away and angrily said: "To hell with your Snow Mountain Sect. I will not go to the Snow Mountain, nor will I delete my account to commit suicide. I want to go to the Demon Mountain Long Gun Sect"

A Fei had no time to disturb the three who were immersed in joy, so he casually exchanged a few words before preparing to leave. The three understood that they could not offer him much assistance at this stage, so they gave him some silver and told him to be sure to come find them after he set out, and then they parted ways.

A Fei opened his mouth and after a while said, "It can't be that exaggerated!"

The Magic Mountain Sect is also one of the top ten sects in the game. This sect is quite unique, differing from other sects in that it is composed of eight smaller sects: the Tongbei Sect, the Long Spear Sect, the Qi Cultivation Sect, the Leg Strike Sect, the Divine Staff Sect, the Five Tigers Sect, the Iron Palm Sect, and the Eagle Claw Sect. It is evident that this system is designed for players who prefer unique weapons other than swords. Although players using swords account for 60% of the game, there are still many players who have a strong preference for unconventional weapons such as sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, and hooks. If these sects were to stand alone, their numbers would be limited; therefore, they were unified into the Magic Mountain Sect. From these eight sects, a leader is chosen to represent the sect externally, enabling it to compete with the other nine major sects and the library. This is the origin of the Magic Mountain Sect.

Ah Fei struggled for a moment, but the difference in levels between him and the setting sun was too great. Unable to break free from the grip of the setting sun, he anxiously said: "Let go of me quickly, are you really going to eliminate traitors for Mount Hua?"

The setting sun sighed: "Of course, there are more traitors, but during the novice period, traitors are quite rare. As you know, when a novice first enters the game, their reputation is zero. At this time, if one becomes a traitor, they lose 40 reputation points and become a bandit. The difficulty of playing the game doubles; who would dare to do that? Even if one wants to betray, they would first accumulate a certain amount of reputation and then leave the novice phase to seek out other factions. Do not forget that factions will issue wanted orders against traitors. Within a year, for every traitor killed from a faction, one gains 10 reputation points. This is a great method for farming reputation. Those skilled players who betray are generally not something ordinary people can handle. Now, if a novice with level zero and zero martial arts skills betrays, what do you think everyone would think? Even I would have to take down A Fei once." Now, if a novice with level zero and zero martial arts skills betrays, what do you think everyone would think? Even I would have to take down A Fei once.

Of course, these words cannot be spoken. The setting sun and the person in the mirror are communicating in private, and they must not tell A Fei, lest his newly kindled interest be extinguished. The three of them also wish to draw A Fei into the game, not for any other reason, but so that they will have a loyal helper for similar tasks in the future

The unfortunate Ah Fei naturally did not hear the words of the setting sun; at this moment, he was standing in front of Xiangyang City, boldly spreading his legs in the middle of the road, surveying the bustling scene of people coming and going with great bravado

"Spectral Interference?" The attention of the three individuals was evidently drawn to this peculiar skill, as they were captivated by it. Logically speaking, a skill that could bypass A Fei and entail such significant sacrifices must possess its own unique qualities. After appreciating it for a considerable time, the three fell into a brief silence.

"If you deceive him like this, what will happen if he finds out?" The figure in the mirror said slowly, watching the departing A Fei.

The setting sun let out a furious laugh, casting Ah Fei aside, and angrily said: "Why do I need to deal with traitors? Right now, the entire Huashan Sect is in an uproar. The sect's channels are filled with inquiries about this Huashan traitor. Everyone wants to know who this 'ill-fated Ah Fei' is, and many have already armed themselves, ready to turn you into minced meat"

No, you join the Snow Mountain Sect, and then betray it, allowing us as a couple to enjoy ourselves.

Really?" Ah Fei was overjoyed; he still believed in the judgment of these three individuals. After all, they had spent more time playing the game, and their insights must be more extraordinary. "I thought it was a useless skill, only capable of leveling up by defeating monsters. Can you tell me what the benefits of this skill are?"

If A Fei had heard the murmurs of the three of them, he would surely have spat out blood. However, he was not a master of internal martial arts, nor did he know the so-called skill of transmitting sound over a thousand miles, thus he naively continued to immerse himself in the vision of his bright future. After the setting sun continued to praise him for a while, A Fei finally decided not to leave the game for the time being, but rather to prepare to join the Long Gun Sect of the Demon Mountain Sect

A Fei's eyes lit up with excitement, and he felt an immense joy in his heart. Naturally, he was unaware that the setting sun was secretly scoffing at him. Leveling speed and efficiency? In this game, levels are the most uninteresting aspect. A player at level 40, if their skills are lacking, can still be easily defeated by players at levels 20 or 30. Moreover, while the leveling speed may be fast, the internal energy consumption would also double, making it unsustainable. As for aggro pulling, the skill that divides the target can only pull two monsters at a time, while others can unleash a wide area of effect with their hidden weapons. The Tangmen's rain of flowers can simultaneously pull thirty-six monsters, earning them the title of the king of aggro pulling.

The moon in the water smiled and said: "The martial world is inherently filled with passion. Aren't the disciples of Mount Hua all stirred with fervor because of him?"

The three were astonished, exchanging glances. Logically speaking, since A Fei had just entered the game, he should not be familiar with half of the sects, so how could he know about the Demon Mountain Spear Sect? A Fei could only recount what had just happened, succinctly explaining that he had been deceived by an NPC, forcibly betrayed his sect, and was granted a supportive skill. This supportive skill was limited to spear techniques, and he was unable to use any other martial arts.

The two immediately felt a surge of anger, and the person in the mirror grabbed the unfortunate A Fei, saying: "Brother Fei, please do us a favor and join our Snow Mountain Sect."

First, let him taste some benefits, so he understands the advantages of this game. Later, when he causes trouble, we can give him some martial arts manuals or something. It won't be long before it concludes. The setting sun was indifferent to this. He had acquired advanced martial arts today, and his mood was excellent; everything seemed so pleasing to the eye. That skill of splitting light and shadow should be a rather useless skill, but the key is that it can temporarily ignite his passion.

"Not bad, not bad," the other two men expressed their agreement after a moment of silence

A Fei felt a surge of emotion in his heart and said, "You two are still the best, preparing to take me in"

"This skill is quite good," Shui Zhonghua said slowly after holding back for a long time.

The person in the mirror and the flower in the water exchanged glances, both aware of the difficulty of gaining reputation, which is not a matter of just a few points of hardship. Typically, completing a single errand task in a day only increases reputation by one or two points. Now, a novice stands here, and with just a thrust of the sword, can gain 10 points of reputation, making them a veritable reputation booster

"Cough," the setting sun was uncomfortably stared at by A Fei, who held back for a while and said with a strained face: "As you said, this skill naturally levels up twice as fast as others. Just think about it, with the speed of leveling up increased, the upgrades will also come faster, and this equipment can be worn earlier than others... Moreover, your skill splits into two, making your monster pulling efficiency twice as high as others. There will definitely be many leveling enthusiasts willing to team up with you, and now you will be in high demand."

The setting sun suddenly slapped its thigh and said: "Ah, I forgot to tell him not to go to Xiangyang City. There are many disciples from Mount Hua there..."

Having said that, he made a motion to draw his long sword and pointed it at A Fei, who, in a state of desperation, quickly jumped up, his speed akin to the lightness of Wudang's martial arts

The martial world, I have arrived

As he spoke, the three of them turned their heads simultaneously to look at the others. However, the setting sun was alone, while the reflections in the mirror were a pair; both pairs of bright eyes were fixed on the setting sun. Ah Fei's gaze also involuntarily turned towards him, filled with excitement and a hint of anticipation. The setting sun cursed under his breath, thinking that next time he should bring ten or eight girls along, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to withstand the accusations with so many people around.
