Ye Weiming scoffed when he heard Youyou’s words. “She found hints about this mission, but she didn’t choose to do it personally. Instead, she revealed the hints to you on purpose and let you complete the mission. Then, she will ambush you and snatch the Zhuge Celestial Bow away from you, right?”

Youyou nodded helplessly at Ye Weiming’s analysis. “This is the only way to get the Zhuge Celestial Bow without being kicked out of the Tang Clan.”

Ye Weiming nodded slightly to show that he understood.

The Zhuge Celestial Bow was powerful but if it landed in the hands of a normal player, it would just be an unsuitable weapon that one could flaunt during the starting stage of the game. Without a compatible skill, the player wouldn’t be able to release the full power of the Zhuge Celestial Bow.

For the time being, only the skills from the Tang Clan were able to bring out the full power of the Zhuge Celestial Bow.

If the person holding the Zhuge Celestial Bow left the Tang Clan, not considering the fact that he would be chased by the NPCs and players from the clan, he would also be unable to learn the follow-up skills of the Tang Clan anymore. Without the support of these follow-up skills in the future, the Zhuge Celestial Bow would only be able to give him an advantage at the start. After that, he would need to change his kung fu based on what he learned outside. The effects of the Zhuge Celestial Bow would be greatly reduced at that time.

Compared to this route, the plan that Poached Spicy Pork Slice came up with was more thorough.

How sinister!

She was definitely pushing Youyou to her death for her own interest.

This kind of lady was really evil!

Youyou added, “Poached Spicy Pork Slice isn’t alone. She has a few friends who entered the game together with her. Their relationships are very good. They are Niagara Grape, Heart Meat, Jelly Pudding, and Popping Candy, There are five ladies in total and they are all disciples of the Tang Clan. I think that they’re all ambushing us outside.”

Ye Weiming nodded. He glanced up before saying, “That means that there are at least five crossbows waiting for us on top?”

Youyou shook her head. “Besides crossbows, there’s ordinary concealed weapons too, the kind that is thrown by hand just like what you mentioned in the past. Unfortunately, we’re stuck in this place. Otherwise, with the Zhuge Celestial Bow in my hand, why would I be afraid of them?”

“I do have a way to send you up and can even attract their firepower. Prepare yourself. We will act immediately.

“You’re not planning to wait for your blood to fill up?”

“We can only take them by surprise if we act now.” Ye Weiming didn’t say much anymore. He took out Chen Ming’s corpse which he wrapped in a grass mat from his back. Then, he exerted strength in his arms and threw the corpse up the hole.

The instant he threw the corpse up, he moved his body and leaned against the chain below the entrance of the underground palace. He bent his legs slightly and got into a horse stance. He crossed his fingers and placed them slightly below his abdomen. This was the stance the military used in films when two people were cooperating to jump over a wall.

Youyou was a special forces soldier, so the moment she saw this stance, she immediately understood what Ye Weiming wanted to do. She ran forward without hesitation and jumped. The sole of her foot stepped on Ye Weiming’s crossed palms. Then, Ye Weiming pushed his hands up forcefully and Youyou made use of the force to leap upwards. Her body followed Chen Ming’s corpse closely and shot into the air.

The underground palace was only two meters below the ground level. At this height, based on Ye Weiming and Youyou’s skills, it was impossible for them to jump up straight from the ground. However, if he was to throw things up, whether it was Chen Ming’s corpse or Youyou, Ye Weiming expressed that he didn’t feel pressured at all.

Outside the underground palace, at the ground level of the Leifeng Pagoda, the five players from the Tang Clan were surrounding the stone entrance of the underground palace. Poached Spicy Pork Slice was their leader. They stood three to four meters away from the entrance and each of them was in a different direction.

Besides the first round of sneak attack, they didn’t dare to stand right at the edge of the entrance to stop Youyou. They had lost their advantage of an ambush, so they didn’t have the confidence that they would be able to instantly kill Youyou if she popped her head out from below. However, with the Zhuge Celestial Bow in her hand, Youyou would have an easy time killing them. Hence, they stood a distance away from the entrance so that they would be able to congregate their firepower. If Youyou came up, they would attack her together and kill her immediately.

At this moment, the five ladies suddenly saw a white thing flying up from the entrance of the underground palace. Based on the length and size of this thing, there seemed to be someone hiding inside.

Without any hesitation, the five of them attacked simultaneously. They threw all their arrows and concealed weapons at the white thing. They didn’t dare to take the risk. If Youyou managed to land on the ground successfully, with the help of the frighteningly powerful Zhuge Celestial Bow, they didn’t have a high chance of winning even though there were five of them.

However, after a series of attacks, they didn’t see any red numbers appearing on the top of the bamboo mat to show that there was a loss of blood. Just as they realized that they had been fooled, Youyou’s figure had already leaped out of the underground palace. Before they could change their strategy, she had already started attacking them with the Zhuge Celestial Bow in her hand. The Zhuge Celestial Bow fired numerous shots of powerful and vicious arrows. Whenever an arrow was fired, one of them would turn into a ball of white light!

– 741! Instant kill!

– 736! Instant kill!

– 750! Instant kill!

…

Ye Weiming’s expiration exercise was a lackluster one but he had reached level 7. Thus, his blood bar was slightly higher than normal players. However, he only had 760 points of blood. When his blood was full, he felt that he was able to sustain one of Youyou’s non-critical arrow hits without dying. These players from the Tang Clan were practicing beginner sutras, but how high could their levels have been?

Whatever their level was, when they were hit by the Zhuge Celestial Bow, their health and defense were almost negligible. Either way, they would die the moment they were hit!

Youyou was still in the air when she killed three enemies. She was also hit by two flying daggers and one cobble too, but these ordinary attacks weren’t able to kill her instantly.

When she landed on the ground, she rolled and evaded two concealed weapons. After that, she fired another two arrows.

– 735!

– 1,580!

One was a normal attack while the other was a critical hit. She managed to get two instant kills again!

This was how domineering the power of a treasured weapon was!

By this time, Ye Weiming just climbed up using the metal chain.

System Announcement: A new map has been activated in Hangzhou, ‘Underground palace of Leifeng Pagoda’. The level of this map is between 10 to 20. Players can enter the map through the Leifeng Pagoda on the Xi Zhao Mountain.”

System Announcement: A new map has been activated in Hangzhou…

…

This underground palace turned into a new map for players?

Ye Weiming wasn’t really concerned about this piece of news. If he had the time, he could come here and see if he could find another Buddhist scripture or another relic. He silently remembered this piece of news. Then, he looked up and scanned his surroundings. He realized that only Youyou and Chen Ming’s corpses could be seen on the ground floor of the pagoda. He couldn’t help but sigh. “You’ve taken care of all of them?”

“Yes, they’re all dead.” Youyou nodded with a despondent look. It wasn’t a good feeling to get betrayed by your friends. Even though she killed them successfully, it didn’t make her feel happy.

Ye Weiming picked up ‘Chen Ming’s corpse’ and patted her shoulder. He said, “Let’s go.”

Youyou looked at Ye Weiming curiously. “Why are you carrying this corpse? You threw it away and now, you’re taking it back.”

Ye Weiming shrugged. “It’s a technique of the Divine Constable Bureau. I need to keep the corpse as evidence. However, once I keep any corpses, I will have to hand them over to the Divine Constable Bureau or bury them. When I used this corpse as a bait, I lost two chivalrous points. However, if I take it back and sell it, I can get 1 chivalrous point back.”

“This technique suits the style of the Divine Constable Bureau.” As she spoke, Youyou’s expression suddenly froze. A cold aura appeared on her body.

Ye Weiming was stunned when he saw this. “What happened? Did my bureau’s technique offend you?”

“It has nothing to do with you.” Youyou gritted her teeth and said, “Just now, Youyou shouted in my clan’s channel. She told all the players from my clan that I have the Zhuge Celestial Bow and that I’m rushing back to finish my mission!”
