Dormitory group chat, my information updated daily.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Qin Yuqing stood up and coldly questioned:

"Uncle Yang, what do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything, I was just curious."

Yang Jianye smiled and waved his hand. The crowd behind him quickly parted and surrounded Xiao Yun.

"The influence left by the Thousand-Faced Demon is too great. We would appreciate it if Mr. Death would wait a little longer and help us deal with the aftermath."

"Is Old Deng really not going to act anymore?"

Xiao Yun sneered inwardly and immediately canceled the descent ritual.

However, this time, the process of getting rid of this temporary body was quite long.

It felt like someone had pressed the pause button.

"Is the descent too far? Is there a delay? Or...?"

Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes, looked up at Yang Jianye's eerie gray pupils and the surging magic power around him, and instantly understood.

"A skill involving widespread mental stasis? Minister Yang is quite the enigma."

"Hehehe, just lucky. It was thanks to the full moon that I managed to kill a Ghost-Eyed Demon Bat."

Yang Jianye smiled and continued to invite:

"Alright, Mr. Death, although you can't go back for the time being, thanks to my skill, you should be able to stay for a while longer."

"Come on, come back with me, let's talk."

Xiao Yun's face instantly darkened, and he said coldly:

"What if I don't?"

Yang Jianye was not surprised, as if he had already guessed that Xiao Yun would react this way.

However, the fact that Xiao Yun hadn't turned on him even after he had gone this far confirmed something for him.

"This guy really has no more trump cards left."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Yang Jianye's eyes, and he shook his head with a light laugh:

"Then... I guess I'll just have to be the villain this once."

The situation instantly became tense.

Qin Yuqing panicked and stepped in front of Yang Jianye:

"Enough, Uncle Yang! Mr. Death saved us, and he saved our guild! How can you treat our benefactor like this!"

Yang Jianye gently shook his head and said:

"But as you've said, this is just a deal."

"Furthermore, I believe this deal is quite unreasonable."

Yang Jianye looked at Xiao Yun, making no attempt to hide his thoughts:

"Mr. Death, to be honest, you did play a crucial role in killing the Thousand-Faced Demon this time."

"But without the Qingcheng Guild's selfless restraint, could you have successfully killed the Thousand-Faced Demon?"

"Moreover, we also lost many people in your final blow; they were all our elites, our comrades."

Yang Jianye pointed to the ashes on the ground, his eyes filled with sorrow:

"Qin girl is young, and she casually gave you everything that the Thousand-Faced Demon dropped, but what about all those who died? Who will give them an explanation!"

He spoke with righteous indignation, but Xiao Yun laughed.

"Those who died, their bodies have been completely drained by the Thousand-Faced Demon. Even if I didn't intervene, they wouldn't survive."

"There is indeed some restraint, but most people are so terrified of the Thousand-Faced Demon that they become its substitutes and vessels, which almost always have the opposite effect."

"In the end, isn't your problem that the spoils aren't split fairly and you want more money? Where do you get all these high-sounding reasons?"

Xiao Yun snorted coldly, deciding to completely abandon all pretense of civility.

"Hmph! Sharp-tongued and twisting the truth! This deal, I bet you're just after the Thousand-Faced Demon's special profession, deliberately trying to gain Qin'er's trust, and even having our Qingcheng Guild act as your vanguard to minimize your losses!"

Yang Jianye dropped the pretense and made a decisive move:

"I was originally planning to leave you some money because you worked hard, even if you didn't achieve anything significant. But since you're ungrateful, you can keep it all!"

"No!"

Qin Yuqing roared and forcefully opened the rune barrier.

Just then, Zhao Tieshan slowly stood up beside her and sighed softly:

"Qin girl, this is for the benefit of the entire guild..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Tieshan swiftly struck, knocking the weakened Qin Yuqing unconscious. He then hurriedly turned his head away, not daring to look at Xiao Yun.

"Okay, okay, is this how you play?"

"You bunch of bastards, I've really given you too much face!"

Xiao Yun was furious, his hair standing on end. Behind him, the insects spread their wings, and the [Starlight Illuminating All Worlds] instantly spread out.

Zhao Tieshan, who was not yet fully recovered, was instantly brought to the brink of death by this attack and fainted.

Many professionals around screamed in agony as they struggled to withstand the true damage from [Starlight Return to Nothingness].

Yang Jianye's gaze sharpened, yet he felt even more confident:

"Hmph, indeed very strong, but after the fierce battle with the Thousand-Faced Demon and healing the others, your contracted beast should be nearing its end, right?"

Yang Jianye grinned, revealing a cruel smile, and charged towards the [Radiant Starlight of All Realms].

"Don't blame me; blame this dog-eat-dog world!"

"Ha... the law of the jungle? That's no excuse for you to vent your desires and ambitions and oppress others!"

Xiao Yun was furious to the extreme, and his crimson-gold eyes were ignited by flames.

"Since you enjoy the law of the jungle so much, then today I'll show you... what true strength is!"

Before he finished speaking, blood-red flames shot into the sky behind Xiao Yun, swirling up the ashes and forging a magnificent throne.

Behind the throne, a pair of wings spread out, blotting out the sky and the sun.

Amidst the flames, a ferocious behemoth resembling a truck slowly emerged, its crimson-gold vertical pupils, identical to Xiao Yun's, opening and coldly staring at Yang Jianye.

The mighty dragon spread out, shattering Yang Jianye's stagnant mental field and even causing the starlight in the sky to bow its head.

Yang Jianye's body trembled, his eyes widened, and he stood there, stunned, his face filled with disbelief.

"A dragon! It really is a dragon! How is that possible! How could you possibly have a real dragon!"

Yang Jianye originally thought that Xiao Yun's trump card was that incredibly powerful bomb.

But now it seems that this inference was wildly wrong.

"This single seventh-order true dragon is enough to annihilate the entire Green Mountain Guild!"

Yang Jianye looked terrified and hurriedly begged for mercy:

"Wait a minute, Mr. Death, I was wrong, I know I was wrong! All the loot from the Thousand-Faced Demon is yours, it's all yours!"

"Furthermore, we will give you half of the guild's inventory as compensation for emotional distress and lost wages... No! All of it, all of our inventory, including my personal stash, is yours!"

"Once this full moon passes, our Green Mountain Guild will be promoted to B- rank, and you will have a powerful following and a continuous stream of resources!"

Yang Jianye knelt on the ground and made frantic promises.

Xiao Yun could easily tell that his words came from the bottom of his heart.

But Xiao Yun didn't care.

"You are not submitting to me, but to the benefits I can bring you. In the end, it's all for your desires and ambitions."

Xiao Yun suddenly felt a little annoyed and chuckled softly:

"Human nature... is truly ugly to the extreme."

"Norton, kill him."

Before he could finish speaking, Norton opened his mouth wide and lunged at Yang Jianye.

The flesh and blood of a seventh-order professional is its best food.

The scorching flames and dragon breath burned the air, and the agonizing screams of flesh being torn apart echoed between heaven and earth.

Hearing the constant kill notifications in his ears, Xiao Yun remained indifferent, leaning against the insect and waiting quietly.

Before long, everything came to an abrupt end.

"Hooray! (Master, all done!)"

Norton wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, raised his front paw, and handed over a bunch of things.

Xiao Yun glanced at it and his eyes lit up.

"【Demon Eye Sorcerer】, a special profession, actually drops a job change card after death?"

Xiao Yun nodded and patted Norton on the head:

"You even knew to clean up the bloodstains, that's good."

"Roar!"

Norton shook his head, as happy as a child weighing over ten tons.

Xiao Yun stuffed everything into his backpack, along with the loot dropped by the Thousand-Faced Demon and the A-grade items given to him by Qin Yuqing, intending to examine them together when they returned.

After finishing everything, Xiao Yun slowly walked to Qin Yuqing's side and checked on her condition.

"It's just that I overdraw my energy..."

Xiao Yun looked at the dried tear tracks on her face and sighed softly:

"This girl actually shed tears for me. But if she knew my true identity, she probably would have teamed up with Yang Jianye to deal with me just now, right?"

Xiao Yun smiled bitterly to himself, took out a bottle of [All-Round Recovery Potion] and placed it in Qin Yuqing's hand.

Finally, he turned his head slightly and looked at Zhao Tieshan kneeling to the side.

"So nonchalant, why not try to struggle a little?"

Zhao Tieshan pointed at Norton and gave a wry smile:

"What's the point of struggling? Besides..."

Zhao Tieshan said with remorse:

"I already owed you my life, and what I just did made me deserve to die."

Xiao Yun nodded and waved to Norton.

"Hooray! (There's an extra meal!)"

Norton drooled and opened his mouth.

Just then, a green wall of wind rose up and blocked its way.

"Spare his life!"

As they were talking, a thin man covered in bandages and wearing a hospital gown came running over, stumbling and crawling.

"I am Wang Jie, the president of the Qingcheng Guild."

He stood before Xiao Yun, palms clasped together, and pleaded:

"I'm sorry, I only asked Lao Yang to take a look at the situation, I didn't expect him to... cause you trouble."

As he spoke, he took out a pile of things and placed them in front of Xiao Yun:

"These are all the items from our guild that are B- or higher. They may not be to your liking, but please accept them as a token of our apologies."

Wang Jie gave a wry smile and lowered his head:

"Yang Jianye is already dead. The others are at most accomplices. Please let them go."

"If you're willing to be lenient, I guarantee that the Qingcheng Guild will be your loyal vassal from now on; we can draw up a contract!"

As he spoke, he took out a blank contract, pressed his bloody handprint on it, and handed it to Xiao Yun.

"That shows sincerity..."

Xiao Yun chuckled, took the blank contract, and casually tossed it into Norton's mouth.

"And all this trash, take it all away, it's useless."

Xiao Yun kicked the pile of high-end items on the ground with disdain, a fleeting glint of desire flashing in his eyes.

However, thinking that Qin Yuqing would suffer a lot after he took these things, he gave up the plan.

Wang Jie was stunned, not understanding why Xiao Yun didn't want this free lunch.

Xiao Yun glanced at Qin Yuqing, who was still unconscious, and waved to her.

Wang Jie scrambled over, listening respectfully:

"Take good care of my sister, or you'll be in for a world of hurt next time you come to the guild!"
