Chapter 1663 1663: Pros and Cons

"Damn! I was just saying it casually!"

Upon hearing Fearless's words, Ming Du broke out in a cold sweat, and the other members of the Quan Zhen Sect also changed their expressions.

The situation with Sanguine Thousand Miles was different from the opponents they had faced before. No matter how strong other opponents were, they were still normal people. But what was Sanguine Thousand Miles? A cheater! Going up against someone like that was embarrassing.

Good shoes shouldn't step in stinky dog poop!

Even this group from the Quan Zhen Sect, who often found themselves regarded as stinky dog poop, looked down on the idea of competing against someone like that.

After all, playing chess with a stinky chess basket would only make things stinkier; the simplest and most direct way to deal with a cheater was simply not to play with them.

"I know!" Fearless said lightly. "But they aren't joking with you."

"Then we can't just log off to avoid this bunch of trash, right?" Ming Du asked, feeling conflicted.

Log off to avoid a powerful opponent isn't embarrassing, but being chased offline by a bunch of cheating losers would be quite frustrating.

"Not at all!" Fearless smiled and said, "We can just run dungeons... No matter how strong his cheats are, he can't follow us into the dungeon, right?"

"That makes sense, that makes sense!"

The others nodded in agreement.

After some discussion, the Quan Zhen Sect immediately decided to avoid Sanguine Thousand Miles.

There was no other choice; the Sanguine Alliance didn't want to provoke the Quan Zhen Sect, and the Quan Zhen Sect didn't want to provoke the current Sanguine Alliance.

...

Don't be fooled by how the Quan Zhen Sect held absolute power in Twilight City and was recognized as the number one guild; most of this was due to the Sanguine Alliance not wanting to clash with them.

The members of the Quan Zhen Sect were all exceptional, especially Wang Yu, who was incredibly abnormal. What good would it bring to confront the Quan Zhen Sect?

In the game, it's impossible to completely eliminate someone.

The Quan Zhen Sect was merely a small guild of about a dozen people, and there wasn't much benefit to be gained. If they really angered these guys and they started causing trouble every day, it would be even more annoying. Therefore, opposing such a small group would be more trouble than it's worth and would only lead to embarrassment.

On the contrary, if they managed to win these guys over, it would mean gaining a powerful set of allies.

Having been the guild leader for so many years, Sanguine Warflag was naturally much more calculating than someone like Sanguine Thousand Miles, who was still young. It was precisely because Sanguine Warflag realized this that he sought to strengthen relations with the Quan Zhen Sect.

Not every member of the Quan Zhen Sect is as clever as Fearless, but they all had self-awareness, and they certainly knew the little schemes of Sanguine Warflag. If the Sanguine Alliance really wanted to clash with the Quan Zhen Sect, given such a huge disparity in numbers, the Quan Zhen Sect would find it difficult to cope. Otherwise, they wouldn't have encouraged the Sanguine Alliance to deal with Jian Zhi Cang Qiong back then.

Ultimately, the Quan Zhen Sect was following an elite route, but the Sanguine Alliance also had many skilled players. Especially after recruiting the group from the Underworld, in terms of elite players, aside from Wang Yu, there were indeed very few who could dismiss the Sanguine Alliance. Moreover, now several experts had emerged who even Wang Yu found unsettling.

At present, the Quan Zhen Sect still had a certain deterrent effect on the Sanguine Alliance, but once Sanguine Thousand Miles killed them once, the terrifying image of the Quan Zhen Sect in the minds of Sanguine Alliance players would change. Once they realized that members of the Quan Zhen Sect could also be killed, the players of the Sanguine Alliance would naturally no longer fear the Quan Zhen Sect.

Sanguine Thousand Miles didn't possess the kind of intelligence to manage a guild like Sanguine Warflag did. This kid was eager to prove himself as a new leader, and who knows, he might even initiate a rebellion to seize the city.

In general, directly confronting Sanguine Thousand Miles would not benefit either the Quan Zhen Sect or the Sanguine Alliance. Instead, it would only provide other guilds the opportunity to watch the fun, and who knows, someone might take advantage of the situation.

Were the members of the Quan Zhen Sect the type to make clothes for others? Absolutely not!

Moreover, with the S-Class World Professional League approaching, it wouldn't hurt for everyone to stay in seclusion and farm dungeons for a while.

...

On the Quan Zhen Sect's side, they decided to take a step back, while the Sanguine Alliance was determined to teach the Quan Zhen Sect a lesson. However, with the players unwilling to cooperate, Sanguine Thousand Miles found himself at a loss.

At that moment, in the Sanguine Alliance's office, Sanguine Thousand Miles was fuming: "Damn it, what a bunch of useless trash! You can't even deal with a small guild like the Quan Zhen Sect. What future do you have?"

In the office, there were several old associates of Sanguine Warflag, such as Sanguine Asura and Sanguine Stormbringer, sitting nearby.

Being scolded and berated by Sanguine Thousand Miles like this left a few of them with dark expressions.

Sanguine Thousand Miles didn't understand the might of the Quan Zhen Sect, but these guys had experienced it firsthand. However, seeing so many people unwilling to make a move and even withdrawing from the guild was indeed a bit embarrassing.

Of course, Sanguine Asura and the others didn't dare to argue back; they were beneficiaries of the guild. If Sanguine Thousand Miles slapped them in the face, they had to endure it.

"Boss, pressuring these guys won't help!"

While Sanguine Thousand Miles was venting his anger at everyone, a guy named Urgent stood up again and said: "Everyone's reluctance to confront the Quan Zhen Sect surely has its reasons; forcing them might backfire."

Actually, there was no need for Urgent to say anything. The Sanguine Alliance had already experienced a retreat, and the counterproductive effects were already in motion.

Sanguine Thousand Miles wasn't brainless; he had seen today's events clearly. He was still a bit frightened, knowing that Sanguine Asura and the others wouldn't dare to withdraw from the guild like other players, but he had still offended these old veterans.

With Urgent playing the peacemaker, Sanguine Thousand Miles calmed down and sighed, speaking in a more moderate tone: "Hey, I'm not angry at the brothers; what frustrates me is that our guild lacks backbone. I really don't know how Sanguine Warflag led the guild."

You see, this is the face of a guild leader. Just a moment ago, he was cursing loudly, and now with a casual remark, he shifted the blame onto Sanguine Warflag.

"Um... Boss..."

Seeing Sanguine Thousand Miles about to start another rant attacking Sanguine Warflag, Sanguine Stormbringer quickly interrupted: "Can I say a few words?"

"Stormbringer, right? Go ahead!" Sanguine Thousand Miles glanced at Sanguine Stormbringer and waved his hand, indicating for him to continue.

"What benefit do we gain from confronting the Quan Zhen Sect?" Sanguine Stormbringer asked curiously.

"Benefits?"

Sanguine Stormbringer's question caught Sanguine Thousand Miles off guard. After pondering for a moment, he replied: "They're such a small guild, yet they have two master-level blacksmiths. I just can't stand it."

"Oh?" Sanguine Stormbringer raised his eyebrows and asked: "Are you sure that if we beat up the Quan Zhen Sect, those two blacksmiths will come to our Sanguine Alliance?"

"This..."

Sanguine Thousand Miles was once again speechless.

Clearly, Sanguine Thousand Miles didn't have a solid answer. Thinking back on Wang Yu's attitude made him even angrier, and as for Choba345, that guy hadn't even responded to the messages... What kind of people were the Quan Zhen Sect? They were simply stinky and tough...
