One strike and you will die!

Surrounding the small sun, which emitted a grey light, were various architectural ruins encircling it…

Within one of the ruined churches,

under the grey light, four figures conversed inside the church…

Princess Shi Luohua of the Huangsha Tribe had actually come here under the guidance of the NPC Soul Master · Ta Yi.

Qin Feng sensed that Soul Master · Ta Yi seemed to have some acquaintance with the NPC selling masks who guarded this place, so he brought Princess Shi Luohua over to get some buffs, allowing her to level up faster…

And the NPC selling masks was a White Elf with pointed ears!

He had long white hair draped behind him, with the name 'Mask Merchant · Wei Chen' above his head, and a series of snowflake-like patterns on his face, his gaze mysterious and cold.

Besides selling masks, this NPC also seemed to be able to provide players with various powerful buffs to earn some extra money…

As for the fourth figure, it was a large butterfly mount.

Evidently, Princess Shi Luohua's speed wasn't fast enough; she could only swiftly pass through the Woeful Death Abyss by riding a mount.

Just as Qin Feng flew out of the Woeful Death Abyss and arrived in this space…

"A distinguished guest has arrived, Wei Chen has been waiting for a long time."

The white-robed Mask Merchant, the White Elf, keenly looked in the direction Qin Feng was flying from, and actually bowed slightly without hesitation!

"This guy can sense my invisibility?"

Qin Feng was even more surprised.

He simply dispelled his invisibility, flapped the Black and White wings behind him, and with a flicker of his figure, he arrived in the ruined church, floating before the group.

At the same time, Soul Master · Ta Yi and Princess Shi Luohua all respectfully bowed to Qin Feng.

However, looking at Soul Master · Ta Yi's movements, Qin Feng was truly curious… This guy came from Soul Orb Civilization, composed of more than seventy furball creatures; it would probably be quite difficult for it to mimic a human's bowing gesture…

"Are you waiting for me?"

Qin Feng scanned the people in front of him and asked.

"Senior Wei Chen is waiting for you."

Princess Shi Luohua smiled a little shyly, lowering her head slightly: "I just came over to have Senior apply some buffs to speed up my leveling…"

Qin Feng looked at Princess Shi Luohua.

He was surprised to find that this princess now had quite a few buffs on her.

Plus 77% attack, plus 85% defense, plus 69% max HP, minus 86% upper gauge accumulation speed, gain 255 upper threshold, 77% increased damage to monsters…

Without a doubt, these were all buffs provided to her by Mask Merchant · Wei Chen!

"That…"

Princess Shi Luohua nervously introduced Qin Feng: "Senior Wei Chen, before he was exiled, was the Temple Master of the Pure Shrine in the Order Land."

"Oh?"

The Temple Master of the Pure Shrine!

Qin Feng immediately recalled that he had previously confronted Grey Chicken's mother, Lutil, by relying on a Pure Sacred Stele.

And the Pure Sacred Stele, once unlocked, could lead to Pure Heaven, which was the path for Reincarnation Civilization players to go to Order Land and join the Pure Shrine!

At that time, Qin Feng could never have imagined that not too much time had passed, and he was already able to meet the former Temple Master of the Pure Shrine, and moreover, that Temple Master was respectfully waiting for him here.

"However…"

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and glanced at the princess: "Why are you telling me this? Doesn't he have a mouth?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene instantly became awkward.

The White Elf's mouth twitched, seeming a bit embarrassed…

It was Soul Master · Ta Yi who suddenly interjected from the side: "It would lose its prestige if he said it himself. And I suggested directly inviting you over to discuss cooperation, but he refused, saying he wanted to wait for you to come personally, which would be more prestigious."

"???"

These words made the Mask Merchant, the White Elf, a bit unable to hold back: "No, discussing me in front of me, don't I have any face? You furball, do you believe I'll tear off your bandages?"

The NPC's originally ethereal and detached demeanor instantly collapsed.

Soul Master · Ta Yi of the Soul Orb Civilization, covered in black bandages, sneered disdainfully: "NPCs cannot harm each other, why should I be afraid of you?"

The atmosphere between the two NPCs instantly became tense.

For some reason, Qin Feng inexplicably thought of two leashed pet dogs… Because they were both leashed, they would appear particularly fierce?

And the 'leash' here was naturally from the God Forsaken Game's rules; under normal circumstances, NPCs generally cannot harm each other…

The two NPCs started arguing.

Princess Shi Luohua, however, quietly came to Qin Feng's side: "Brother Shadow~ Senior Wei Chen wants to cooperate with you, do you think it's possible? He is the unique Hidden Class 'Holy Light Skywalker', his support abilities are very strong~!"

Qin Feng patted the princess's head: "Everything else is negotiable, but don't call me 'brother' anymore."

Princess Shi Luohua: "Huh? Then what should I call you?"

Qin Feng: "Calling me 'Boss' is fine."

Princess Shi Luohua: "Oh! Okay, Boss!"

Qin Feng: "…"

All in all, Qin Feng finally understood the situation.

This Mask Merchant, from the White Fairy Clan, the unique Hidden Class 'Holy Light Skywalker', and his identity before being exiled was actually the Temple Master of the Pure Shrine!

And now, this guy wants to cooperate with Qin Feng!

This is an extremely powerful class with pure support abilities, and its enhancement methods can almost cover every aspect of the God Forsaken Game!

If he were loyal enough, then for Qin Feng, he could indeed bring quite good buffs; just transferring the buffs on Princess Shi Luohua to Qin Feng could multiply Qin Feng's damage several times over.

Without a doubt, Qin Feng could still be interested in this, especially since this guy used to be a Temple Master!

The key is…

How to cooperate?

What does this guy want?

Seeing that the two NPCs were still bickering, Princess Shi Luohua stepped forward to persuade them: "Seniors, stop arguing! Arguing won't kill anyone… Let's talk about cooperation with the Boss first!"

Wei Chen: "Coming."

No sooner had he spoken than Qin Feng saw the white-robed NPC instantly flash before him, a serious and sad expression on his face, as he began to recount his story…

Actually, Wei Chen hadn't originally intended to tell this part himself, feeling it would sound a bit overly sentimental.

But since he had already been exposed, he no longer cared about his pride…

First, let's make the cooperation happen!

Thus, Qin Feng quickly understood why this guy was exiled.

After all that… This guy was actually exiled by his own older sister!

Of course, it wasn't a malicious exile, but a protective one.

Since players from Youlan Civilization had already gone to Order Land, the information about Order Land they brought back made Wei Chen realize that nearly a millennium had passed in Order Land since he was exiled…

But for him, his memory of being exiled was only ten years ago.

At that time, he was the Temple Master of the Pure Shrine, and his sister was the Temple Master of the Light Temple; they cooperated to make the White Fairy Clan the strongest clan in Fairy World!

However, an accident caused Wei Chen to be affected by 'Curse Authority', and he was on the verge of death. The only way to save him was to let him enter Reincarnation, clearing all negative statuses… As a Sublimation Civilization player from Fairy World, the only way to re-enter Reincarnation was naturally to be exiled and become an NPC!

So, to save his life, his sister personally exiled him…

He had reincarnated nearly a hundred times in Youlan Civilization, but he had no memory of that period, only the ten years of this last reincarnation, and this time, he saw Youlan Civilization's chance for Sublimation!

As long as Youlan Civilization sublimates, he can regain his player status, return to Order Land, and even find a way to become the Temple Master of the Pure Shrine again.

And the White Elf Dust's request for cooperation with Qin Feng was—

"Shadow, with your strength, you will definitely be able to help my sister in the future. For that, I am willing to assist you!"

Qin Feng nodded, indicating understanding.

Then he asked: "Where is your sister?"

Wei Chen sighed: "We agreed that after I was exiled and saved, she would go to Supreme Heaven first… Now, she should be in Supreme Heaven. Of course, you can instantly kill the Fourth World Spine; with that strength, you will eventually be able to go to Supreme Heaven as well, so I am willing to follow you!"

"Of course, before following you, I want to know your current specific strength… Come, attack me with all your might. With my Temple Master's insight, perhaps I can give you some pointers on your future development direction."

Qin Feng could tell that this guy possessed the confidence of a former Temple Master.

It's just…

"Senior, Boss will die with one slash!"

Princess Shi Luohua exclaimed in alarm.

Soul Master · Ta Yi also sneered: "If you die, I can't help you; with my ability, I can't revive a Temple Master."

Wei Chen's lips curved slightly, revealing a very showy and confident smile: "Don't worry, just one slash. Not to mention Reincarnation Civilization, even in Order Land, no one can kill me!"
