However, this also posed a problem.
Just a few minutes later.
The various dungeon halls began to buzz with excitement.
Of course, the excitement wasn’t about the appearance of something ranked in the teens on the global equipment rankings.
Instead, it was...
"The Trident of the Sea Patrol Yaksha! Damn, it was taken by that renowned Undead Mage!"
"I finally understand why that big shot could thrash the U.S.A; the Sea Patrol Yaksha’s tens of millions of HP evaporated instantly!"
"Who the heck can withstand that!"
"Tens of millions of damage in an instant? You’ve got to be kidding!"
"It really was that Undead Mage big shot!"
"Was the big shot also on Kun Roc Island at the time? Was he among the crowd? Damn, I didn’t notice!"
"To brush past the big shot and not get an autograph, boo hoo hoo..."
...
No way around it, it was too conspicuous.
On the entire global equipment rankings.
There were only two pieces of equipment with hidden owner information.
One was Hades’ Crystal Skull.
The other was the Sea-stabilizing Trident!
Although Lu Ran hid his personal information, his profession was still displayed.
Undead Mage!
Additionally, at the time, there was no connection between Hades’ Crystal Skull and the Eight-armed Vajra, no one thought to associate them.
But now.
This Trident, isn’t it the very thing that was in the hands of the Sea Patrol Yaksha?
"The attributes seem average; I’m feeling balanced again."
"The Water Skills damage increase is probably useless for that Undead Mage big shot, right?"
"The passive changes the skill’s coverage range and shape? That’s bizarre, also useless!"
"The intelligence bonus is really high, damn, that’s top-tier!"
"Nonsense, if it’s not top-tier, how could it be on the global equipment rankings?"
...
Meanwhile, on Kun Roc Island.
Many professionals had already left.
On the coast, those dozen Yin Yang Masters from a small country were preparing to continue their mission, heading inland to search for the Undead Mage’s traces.
But at this moment.
Several figures blocked their path.
Among them, four wore black cloaks, hiding their appearances, while the person in the middle was a young man wearing a magic robe and holding a Trident.
This Trident looked somewhat familiar?
They couldn’t use cross-national communication devices, nor had they visited the dungeon hall, so they naturally didn’t know about the changes in the equipment rankings.
So although they felt the Trident looked familiar, they didn’t associate it with the Sea Patrol Yaksha from earlier.
After all, such Tridents were not uncommon in some water-type dungeons.
But just as they were about to act, they were suddenly stopped, feeling a bit guilty like thieves.
One of them stepped forward with a smile.
And said, "Gentlemen, is there something you need? My friends and I are just hunting monsters here; we hope we’re not disturbing you?"
Upon hearing this.
Ye Hongyi burst into laughter.
Waving her hand, she said, "No, no, I can’t hold it in, that accent is too bizarre; although it’s quite fluent, it’s way too awkward!"
Especially since Ye Hongyi, initially assuming they were infiltrators from that small country.
Upon hearing it, it was too obvious!
And those dozen people were clearly stunned upon seeing Ye Hongyi’s face.
This woman’s face seemed very familiar!
But they couldn’t recall right away.
"Alright, then it’s probably correct; this is my oversight. It seems we must also set up defenses along the Forbidden Sea in the future." Lei Tai sighed, saying as he lifted his cloak’s hood.
This time, those dozen people instantly recognized him!
"Lei Tai!" one of them shouted in fear.
They had snuck in, and of course, they were afraid of the Battle Banner National Defense Army responsible for guarding Longxia’s borders. Lei Tai’s reputation and rugged appearance were unforgettable!
They didn’t expect to encounter Lei Tai here!
This was just...
Not bumping into the muzzle of the gun, but rather straight into the cannon’s mouth!
"Lei Tai is the only one here, and there are no members of the National Defense Army present, so let’s kill him! Don’t give him a chance to use the communication device!" one of them shouted.
With so many people, killing Lei Tai wasn’t entirely impossible.
But as soon as these words were spoken, Lei Tai was furious enough to smoke.
He cursed, "Damn it, do you think I’m that weak in your eyes? Just you bunch of nobodies trying to take me down?"
At this time.
Ye Hongyi also said, "Alas, am I not famous enough? You recognized him, but not me?"
This left Ye Hongyi feeling somewhat unbalanced inside.
Upon hearing this, the dozen people looked at Ye Hongyi, thinking, is this woman really that famous? No wonder she seemed familiar.
Suddenly.
One of them screamed in terror, "I remember now, it’s Ye Hongyi of Longxia’s Female Legion! She’s the head of the Red Robe Tower! The boss of the Red Leaf Commerce!"
With these words, the dozen people’s expressions instantly changed.
The Four Majors of Longxia, and there are two right here!
What kind of bad luck did they bring upon themselves!
They barely managed to survive crossing the Forbidden Sea, only to encounter Lei Tai and Ye Hongyi!
At this moment.
Liu Xinxin also lifted her cloak’s hood, smiling at Ye Hongyi, saying, "Sister Hongyi, of course you’re famous, but as the President of the Battle Banner National Defense Army, Lei Tai draws more attention from them."
But as soon as she finished speaking.
Someone immediately shouted, "Liu Xinxin! The President of Mirror Flower Water Moon!"
Ye Hongyi, who had just found some comfort, suddenly had her face fall, as this bunch could still recognize the shy and unassuming Liu Xinxin with one look!
"Alright, alright, stop playing around, get down to business." Yu Qingcang, half laughing, half crying, lifted his own hood.
"Yu... Yu Qingcang..." This time, many of them recognized Yu Qingcang, their voices trembling.
At this moment.
The dozen Yin Yang Masters felt crushed inside.
If given a choice, they would rather never have come to Longxia, never have participated in this smuggling, and best to stay far away from Nanami!
But now, it’s too late to say anything.
The Four Major Guilds of Longxia.
The President of the Celestial Path Alliance, Yu Qingcang.
The President of the Battle Banner National Defense Army, Lei Tai.
The President of Mirror Flower Water Moon, Liu Xinxin.
The President of the Red Robe Tower, Ye Hongyi.
The Four Guild Leaders, all gathered here!
They just landed ashore!
They hadn’t done anything yet!
But with cross-national teleportation blocked, their crime of smuggling was undeniable, and in this data-driven world, illegally crossing into another country’s borders was a capital offense!
They even intended to kill Lei Tai.
If it were just Lei Tai alone, there was still a sliver of hope.
Now, with the four Leaders right before them, what’s there to resist against!
And Yu Qingcang.
Patted Lu Ran on the shoulder, saying, "You go ahead and test; we’ll keep an eye out around here."
The aim was, of course, to prevent other professionals from discovering Lu Ran’s abilities, for keeping Lu Ran’s abilities a secret was rather important.
After saying this.
The four Leaders each put on their cloaks, retreated in four directions, spreading out to prevent anyone else from getting close.
The dozen Yin Yang Masters looked at one another, finally focusing on the mage holding the Trident, looking quite bewildered.
What kind of situation is this?
Lu Ran licked his lips, drove the Trident into the ground.
And laughed, "Little bastards, summon your Shikigami, Grandfather is here to meet you!"
Saying this, he first summoned the ancient golem, to avoid any mishaps.
But he wasn’t in a rush to attack.
He hadn’t forgotten the main objective, to test whether the Skeleton Throne’s entry could control the Yin Yang Masters’ Dark Series Shikigami!
