"Stop! Stop right now! What on earth do you want?"

They watched as the HP of the City Core dropped lower and lower.

Meanwhile, they were being held back by Lucien’s summons.

Anxiety gnawed at their hearts; this was their final chance.

If the city fell, it wouldn’t be long before their guild lost all ability to manage the ordinary people, whose levels were steadily rising.

Their privileges would also be severely diminished.

Having tasted the sweetness of exploiting others and the power to decide the fate of millions with a single word, how could they possibly give up the authority in their hands?

If they were truly forced back to their former lives, they would feel that death was preferable to living.

At that moment, Lucien glanced back at them.

He looked at these nine guild leaders, who usually stood high and mighty, now appearing like stray dogs.

This situation made Lucien feel a sense of trance-like disbelief.

In his previous life, these people could easily decide the life or death of ordinary people like him.

Even wanting to look at them from a distance was considered a sin.

And now? These nine super-titans had looks of pleading on their faces; it really was something he wasn’t used to.

Lucien looked at them with a playful expression, and the attacks from his hands came to a halt.

"What can you offer?"

Seeing that Lucien had finally stopped, looks of joy appeared on their faces.

However, upon hearing his words, they secretly thought that things were looking bad.

Exchanging looks with the others, Caleb stepped forward with a forced smile and said, "As long as this city construction goes smoothly, you can have anything you want. We can even transfer the position of Guild Leader to you!"

The others also nodded hurriedly, agreeing with Caleb’s statement.

No matter what, they had to stabilize the situation first.

Even if they really transferred the guild to him, so what?

They had already taken the lion’s share anyway. Besides, could he alone manage these millions of people?

Clearly, that was impossible. When the time came, they would just need to feign compliance while secretly defying him.

The power in their hands wouldn’t be affected in the slightest.

It would just be having one more boss in name only.

As long as they had the chance, they might even find his weaknesses.

They could even trick him into solving the many problems they couldn’t handle themselves—wouldn’t that be even better?

It was simply killing several birds with one stone, and all they had to give up were a few words.

Lucien didn’t think that much. After all, how could he be as scheming as these people?

He was simply powerful, which was why he suppressed them until they had no strength to fight back.

In terms of plotting, how could he be a match for those who could scheme against and kill so many SSS-rank Talent players?

When the other party said those words, he was indeed tempted.

His hidden quest did indeed require him to have a territory.

If he took over as their Guild Leader, his quest could be completed.

But he immediately shook his head. It wasn’t as if he lacked the strength to establish his own guild.

More importantly, the first person to establish a guild would receive five initial attribute points.

He didn’t want to give up those five initial attribute points.

Not to mention there were also Immortal-grade equipment and Immortal-grade Skills; he was even less likely to give those up.

"Only this? Nothing else?"

Seeing Lucien opening his mouth so wide like a lion, their scalps went numb.

The others looked at each other back and forth.

Dragon God - Old Eight gritted his teeth and took a blueprint out of his backpack.

"I also have a treasure map here. Have a look."

Lucien was still very interested in treasure maps.

The Road to the Moon Palace was a type of treasure map.

And a single Road to the Moon Palace had directly granted him financial freedom.

However, Lucien didn’t reach out to take it directly. Instead, he used his Insight Skill to check it first.

Golden Lotus Sacred Lake Map

Uses: 1

Description: The legendary Golden Lotus Sacred Lake, where the legendary Reincarnation Golden Lotus grows.

Reincarnation Golden Lotus?

He really didn’t know what this was.

However, just judging by the name, it sounded very high-end.

Lucien directly controlled a Five Elements Zombie to take the Golden Lotus Sacred Lake Map.

Seeing Lucien take the map, all nine of them breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Good, good. He accepted it.

Having taken the Golden Lotus Sacred Lake Map, he put it directly into his backpack.

Then he smiled, turned around, and continued his attack on the City Core.

What a joke. Lucien would certainly accept something given for free.

Seeing Lucien attacking the City Core again, they hurriedly tried to stop him.

"Falling into the Human World, don’t go too far! You took our item, why are you still attacking the City Core?"

"What exactly do you want? We’re already willing to hand the guild over to you. We just want a place to settle down!"

But what answered them was a series of Lucien’s Five Elements Talismans.

With just one hit, their life-saving skills were directly triggered.

Then they quickly fled; they didn’t want to die here.

Soon, the few of them arrived at the city wall and looked at the guild members who were being slaughtered by monsters until few remained.

The expressions of the nine were terrifyingly grim. Dragon God - Old Eight spoke up, "Since that kid is so stubborn, I only have one last resort left."

Everyone looked at Dragon God - Old Eight in surprise.

"What resort?"

"The guild definitely can’t be saved now, and we’re no match for him. I plan to use the Magic Cannon."

Hearing Dragon God - Old Eight’s words, everyone was somewhat stunned.

But they reacted immediately.

Their only means left now was the Magic Cannon.

Only the Magic Cannon could defeat him, but he was inside the city. Once the Magic Cannon was used, it would inevitably hit the buildings inside the city.

Previously, they would never have agreed, but now the city was about to fall.

Even using the Magic Cannon wouldn’t result in any further loss for them.

"Fine. Since he won’t let us have it easy, then we won’t let him have it easy either."

The others also agreed directly.

Anyway, there was nothing left to lose.

They recalled all the remaining members back to the city wall.

There was no longer any need for them to make pointless sacrifices.

As Dragon God - Old Eight injected gold coins into the Magic Cannon...

The muzzle of the Magic Cannon glowed once more.

Soon, the Magic Cannon’s attack was fired.

Accompanied by a long trail, it directly struck the Class Changing Temple inside the city.

This was the second time the Magic Cannon had been used. The first time was met with everyone’s cheers...

...as it had taken out multiple Dark Gold Bosses in one go.

But this time, no one cheered. This was mutual destruction.

As the Magic Cannon’s attack landed...

...a system notification also reached the guild members.

"Ding! The City Core of Tianxia Guild has been destroyed. Defense failed."

The city wall beneath their feet also began to collapse, turning into a field of ruins in just a short moment.

Dragon God - Old Eight said to the members who were still alive:

"Go! Let’s retreat quickly!"

The remaining guild members also immediately scattered and fled.

After all, there were still hundreds of thousands of level 40-50 monsters here
