Heroes' Prison

Chapter 371 - 363: I Want to Leave the Hero Guild

For example, the Pursuit skill, his mount wouldn’t join him in using Pursuit; after all, he’s not of a knight-type class specialized in it. But now, Huang Yi could use Pursuit while mounted, albeit at a quintupled cost—from the original 20 points of Rage, the forced use now drained 100 points.

In flight, it was the same. Previously, his Incarnation couldn’t use Pursuit while flying and had to land first, but now, those limitations were completely lifted.

Next, Huang Yi headed to the Tower of Pantheons to continue his fervent level grinding, charging toward the goal of level 100!

...

The next day, after finishing breakfast, Huang Yi logged on early to check the forum.

"God of Slaughter writes another myth! With a hundred peerless experts, repels a hundred Holy Domain Half-Beastmen but plants the seeds for greater catastrophe!"

"Next year’s Best Individual Award shortlist prematurely seized by a spot from the God of Slaughter!"

"Half-Beast Holy Land faces another defeat, will they send Celestial Realm Experts next?"

"Wind Kingdom caught in a dilemma, where will their 15 million-strong expedition force go?"

"Under the pressure of God of Slaughter’s soaring levels, the Pope, Kid, Giant Bear Vinnie, Abigail, and others announce going into Cold Storage to catch up with God of Slaughter at full speed, aiming for level 100!"

At this moment, the forum’s 24-hour hot posts were almost entirely dominated by last night’s events. Last night’s great battle in the Holy Domain was an unprecedented fight since the opening of The Second World, capturing the attention of nearly everyone worldwide.

However, what Huang Yi didn’t expect was that his rapid leveling directly triggered a bunch of top-ranked experts worldwide to go into Cold Storage, racing to catch up to his level. Level 100 was a massive reward, offering two National Honor Points in one go—an incentive not available through any Achievement; no one wanted to give it up!

And Huang Yi couldn’t compete with them in leveling speed. He was in Rose Prison and couldn’t use Cold Storage, so they would gain ground on him sooner or later.

Next, Huang Yi entered The Second World and appeared in the City Hall of Dragon City.

The moment he logged on, he saw a svelte woman standing by the window, the morning breeze stirring her long hair—Qin Shiyu.

"Brother Yi, I’ve sent Light Demon to the Guild Territory of Wind Kingdom; he has arrived and can summon you at any time," Qin Shiyu said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear as she looked at Huang Yi.

"Xiao Yu, I have a decision to share with you." Huang Yi’s tone was slightly solemn, his gaze fixed on Qin Shiyu’s beautiful eyes, "As you know, we can’t confront the Half-Beast Holy Land right now. A hundred Holy Domain Half-beasts aren’t much for them, and if they send Holy Domain Warriors, we’d undoubtedly be doomed. So far, I have no countermeasure to this."

"So?" Qin Shiyu came over and took Huang Yi’s arm, her soft hand gripping his tightly, seemingly to make him realize that no matter the danger, she would be by his side.

"So, I’m leaving the Hero Guild." Huang Yi turned to look at the streets of Dragon City below, filled with countless members of the Hero Guild. "We have ten million members in our guild; they look up to us from below, following us. So I can’t let them suffer this hurt with us; I can’t betray their trust. My only choice is to leave the Hero Guild and separate from the ten million members, facing the Half-Beast Holy Land alone."

Upon hearing Huang Yi’s words, Qin Shiyu fell silent. She didn’t try to persuade him, knowing this was an insurmountable conflict, and she too was concerned about the ten million members of the Hero Guild.

"Brother Yi, don’t think too much about it right now. Those one hundred Holy Domain strongmen haven’t left yet. The Half-Beast Holy Land won’t issue the next command yet," Qin Shiyu consoled him in a soft voice, leaning against his shoulder.

"Yeah, it’d be best if they don’t send Celestial Realm Experts over. Alright, I’m off to Wind Kingdom now!" Huang Yi nodded, messaged Light Demon to summon him.

Seconds later, he received a System Prompt.

"[System Prompt]: Your friend [Light Demon] is summoning you, do you respond?"

Huang Yi immediately chose yes.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at another place.

This was a mountaintop overlooking a vast green prairie bathed in the golden sunrise. The dew on the grass sparkled, and a man in a Mage Robe was standing there, the Head of the Mage Hall of the Hero Guild, Light Demon himself.

"Big Bro, there lies the Guild City of Wind Kingdom; let’s go in and raid!" Light Demon pointed excitedly at the city that shone like a pearl in this prairie world.

"Let’s go!" Huang Yi nodded, summoning the powerful Two-Headed Lin he got after defeating Man Wen. Its Attack Power was ferocious, speed wasn’t its forte, but it matched Light Demon’s Swift Wind Dragon. Together they sped across the endless prairie toward Wind Kingdom.

At that moment, on the walls of the Guild City of Wind Kingdom at the end of their line of sight, a row of Guard Soldiers stood, and among them, a handsome young man gazed into the distance.

Suddenly, two tiny black dots emerged in his sights—Huang Yi and Light Demon speeding towards them.

A slight smile crossed his lips, barely perceptible as he turned and descended from the wall.

The handsome young man walked to the nearby city gate.

The massive city gates were tightly shut, like a chasm separating two worlds. A hundred members of the enforcement team, guarding beneath the city gates, encircled it like an iron barrel, allowing no one to approach.

Currently, the Wind Kingdom Guild was under martial law, with all city gates closed. The Heavenly Curtain Barrier was activated twenty-four hours a day without interruption, and the teleportation circle was only allowing exits, not entries—preventing any outsiders from possibly coming in.

All of this was to prevent the arrival of one person—Huang Yi.

"Good to see you, Brother Lang Ge!" At that moment, when the handsome man arrived, the members of the enforcement team immediately greeted him with respect.

This handsome man was Huang Yi’s scout placed within the Wind Kingdom and a brother from the Rose Prison—in The Second World, he was known as Sissy Bro, Lang Ge.

Lang Ge nodded and said with a slight smile to the enforcement team, "It must be tough guarding here."

"Not at all, we stand here without much to contribute, which is truly embarrassing. Brother Ice Wind Water Soul is the key player; we don’t know if they will succeed, and everyone is worried," the enforcement team captain said with a hint of concern.

"Hmm! I’m also worried!" Lang Ge nodded and glanced at the city gate, remarking subtly, "This city gate..."

Just as he was speaking, Lang Ge suddenly received a message from Ice Wind Water Soul.

Lang Ge paused for a moment and opened the message to read.

"Lang Ge, guard the city gate well, something good is about to happen!" There was a tinge of joy in Ice Wind Water Soul’s words.

At that moment, Lang Ge felt a chill go down his spine!

He stood under the tall city gates, before the hundred enforcement team members, while outside were Huang Yi and the Light Demon drawing ever closer.

He felt as though he had suddenly fallen into a colossal crisis, for whatever Ice Wind Water Soul’s message indicated, something terrible was sure to happen next.

"What’s the matter, Brother Lang Ge?" Seeing that Lang Ge stopped mid-sentence, the captain asked curiously, "What about this city gate?"

"Oh, nothing. Just want you to guard the gate well and not let any outsiders in!" Lang Ge replied with a forced smile, patting the enforcement team captain’s shoulder. However, his slightly shaking hands betrayed his inner nervousness.

"Of course, even if you didn’t mention it, we would still guard the gate properly," the captain replied, not noticing anything unusual about Lang Ge, and nodded affirmatively.

Lang Ge immediately turned and hurriedly left, quickly making his way toward the city wall.

His heart was filled with urgency; the message from Ice Wind Water Soul left him with an ominous premonition.

Soon, Lang Ge returned to the top of the city wall, in front of countless guard soldiers, and looked down from above.

Huang Yi and the Light Demon were about to reach the city gates, their mounts’ hoofbeats growing so loud that one could clearly hear them.

"Friends below, our Guild Territory of the Wind Kingdom is currently not open to outsiders, please turn back!" the captain of the guard soldiers on the city wall called out to Huang Yi and the Light Demon.

At this moment, Huang Yi wore Oss’ Eye Mask, and the Light Demon had been wearing the hood of a Mage Robe all along—a common attire, so the guard soldiers didn’t recognize them.

The two men didn’t speak but continued to advance. Huang Yi looked up at Lang Ge on the city wall, their gazes intersecting in the air.

Although Huang Yi and Lang Ge had never met in The Second World, he could almost instantly tell from Lang Ge’s demeanor that this was Sissy Bro.

"Friends below! Please turn back! We are not allowing any outsiders into the Wind Kingdom right now; we have experienced some unexpected events," Lang Ge also shouted from high above.

The last part of his sentence was slightly elevated in tone, hinting at a double meaning.

This made Huang Yi’s heart suddenly sink.

The last sentence from Lang Ge was clearly a subtle hint that their plan had encountered some urgent complications!

A premonition of ill fortune rose within Huang Yi’s heart.

"Let’s go!" Without hesitation, Huang Yi immediately urged the Light Demon and quickly turned their mounts around to flee rapidly into the distance!

Although perplexed, the Light Demon didn’t question him and immediately followed Huang Yi to retreat along the same path.

"Thinking of leaving now is already too late!" And then, a domineering voice suddenly came from afar!

Huang Yi and the Light Demon were slightly startled and looked up.
