Chapter 462: Foreign Players Enter?

Grandma Golden Flower is not easy to deal with, but a young girl at the Life and Death Realm, “A Li,” is extremely easy to handle!
Thousands of Emei sect female disciples flocked over for the secret martial arts manuals of the Life and Death Realm held by the Emei elders, attacking Grandma Golden Flower’s forces wave after wave.
There’s Zhou Zhiruo, whose internal energy has been sealed;
There’s “A Li,” who possesses poisonous skills but lacks sufficient strength;
And then there’s Grandma Golden Flower, whose true strength remains unfathomable!
It seemed that the larger the number, the better the chances of success, but in reality, though Grandma Golden Flower’s hidden weapons couldn’t compare to Little Li’s Flying Knife, it was still easy for her to eliminate a group of people at the Life and Death Realm…
…
The rumors of Grandma Golden Flower wreaking havoc on the Emei sect quickly spread throughout the martial world—thousands of Emei disciples were utterly helpless against her, watching helplessly as she cleared a path and A Li escorted Zhou Zhiruo out of Emei territory.
A small-scale narrative task that appeared quickly and disappeared just as fast!
Normally, a failed narrative task wouldn’t draw much attention or discussion, but coincidentally, at the time this task appeared, another related narrative task emerged in the martial world!
Ling She Island!
Chen Youliang from the Beggars’ Sect led people to Ling She Island, along with a group of Beggars’ Sect players.
It was normal for the Beggars’ Sect to have such tasks, but what caught the attention of countless players was an incredible incident that happened when they arrived at Ling She Island.
People from the Great Ying Country traveled thousands of miles across the sea to reach Ling She Island in the Central Plains and even managed to gain Xie Xun’s trust before them.
A foreign player who didn’t belong to the Central Plains martial world had managed to win Xie Xun’s trust and even helped him repel the Beggars’ Sect disciples, acquiring Xie Xun’s Lion Roar Skill. This sparked anger and deep reflection among many martial artists in the world.
It was understandable that Xie Xun, the Lion King, didn’t trust people from the Central Plains martial world—outsiders were unaware of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, so he kept his guard down.
But the fact that foreigners could enter the Central Plains and get involved in its martial conflicts was hard for many local martial artists to accept. Some even wondered if they could get similar opportunities if they went to other countries—after all, during the Yuan Dynasty, Genghis Khan nearly conquered the entire Eurasian continent, including Japan. If not for a storm blocking his path, he might have raised his flag there as well. At that time, much of our Central Plains culture had also spread to those regions.
Xie Xun trusted a player from the Great Ying Country…
This was just a beginning.

But the official website saw an unprecedented surge of interest in the progress of the foreign version of “Jianghu”! Although from the very beginning, this game with an Eastern wuxia flavor, labeled as Chinese, was played by almost everyone as a purely Chinese game, at this moment, players from the Great Ying Country showed that the popularity of “Jianghu” wasn’t limited to within China… Many foreign players and guilds were paying close attention to it and striving hard for it! Gradually, updates from the Americas, Europe, other Asian countries, and those across the ocean were also posted on the Chinese official website forums by players who had access to such information. However, progress in Europe and America was slightly slower; they seemed still trying to figure out what “internal strength” really was, feeling both interested and unfamiliar with it. The highest level of “Life and Death Realm” existed there, but only in very small numbers. On the contrary, countries like Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, and South Korea, which had a good understanding of Chinese culture, despite being far away from China, were not far behind. Not only were countless Chinese players greatly shaken by this, but many gangs and individual players also began to consider taking action… Even more people started to envy the far-sightedness of the Lingxiao Palace. Even Lei Zhan briefly felt pleased upon hearing about this and secretly mentioned plans to move to coastal areas and develop further toward the borders. After Lei Zhan, the Lonely Three Wolves, Fengwu Caiyi, and Yucha Zhe arrived together! “Have you heard about Lingshe Island?” As soon as Kai Xin opened the door, he was greeted by a fragrant breeze. Fengwu Caiyi rushed in in a hurry and quickly explained her purpose: “Oh, and there’s also a group of barbarians in Dali. They speak in gibberish that’s hard to understand, but they can take missions and even attacked several gang bases.” “Don’t you think we don’t need to worry about this right now?” Kai Xin, having experienced all this before, naturally knew that with the current strength of foreigners, they were not yet capable of competing with the martial arts masters of the Central Plains. Such minor disturbances and isolated incidents would be quickly quelled, so there was no need to worry at all. Yet, just as he sat back down on the sofa, Fengwu Caiyi placed her hands on either side of the sofa backrests, leaning in close and staring into Kai Xin’s eyes. “Who said we don’t need to worry?” she said, startling him. “‘Jianghu’ is a game set in ancient China. If even such small countries dare to bully us, wouldn’t that be extremely embarrassing for us?”

“It’s not ancient China; it’s an ancient setting worldwide…” Kai Xin removed Feng Wu Cai Yi’s hand from above his shoulder. “Don’t worry, just a few little fish and shrimp—they can’t get away.” Jimo San Lang and Yu Cha Zhe sat down on the sofa across from them in unison, watching helplessly as Kai Xin pressed Feng Wu Cai Yi to sit quietly beside him. “Did you come here just for this?” “Of course.” Chen Fan said seriously, “This isn’t a trivial matter. It involves the state system—do you understand?” “It’s just a game. Stop talking nonsense. What do you think Lingxiao Palace has been doing these days? They go to Goryeo whenever they want, or to the Western Regions and barbarian lands. Only they’re allowed to go there; others aren’t even permitted in. The imperial court doesn’t even care. Did you grow up eating river water? Overreacting like that.” Kai Xin knew very well that these initial involvements were all the players’ own decisions, or acts of revenge due to harassment and attacks—nothing to do with the state system at all. Sure enough! As soon as Kai Xin said this, the five of them were stunned and looked at each other. “Who among you leaked this?” “I didn’t say anything. I definitely didn’t.” “No way. You can guess that? We also heard about this from a former classmate who studied abroad. Kai Xin, how do you know this inside information?” They stared at him in shock. So they knew about Lingxiao Palace too. Now it was Kai Xin’s turn to be stunned… These guys were actors—even they could fool him. “You came here… surely not for the same reason as Lei Zhan?” Thinking deeper, Kai Xin’s expression became serious. “Getting involved in coastal cities will inevitably touch upon Lingxiao Palace’s interests. Given ‘Qin Qing,’ the head of Lingxiao Palace, is so cautious, you’re forcing her to cooperate with Yi Pin Tang.” He knew well that for at least half a year, foreign forces couldn’t keep up with the progress of the martial arts world in the Central Plains. Eventually, the system would have to balance the game by slightly improving foreign forces’ ability to learn from experience and reducing task difficulty to catch up with the Central Plains martial arts world… For now, foreign regions didn’t require any extra attention or wasted time, let alone involving Lingxiao Palace.
