Rebirth Of The Thief Who Roamed The World

C831-C850

Chapter 831 - Traversing the Underworld Passage

Nirvana Flame!

Black Pupil turned around and ran. He didn't even dare to look back, his heart nearly racing out of his chest, terrified of what might come next. He didn't expect to be discovered at a distance of over 100 meters away. What frightening senses! Enough to make any Thief puke blood. Only after he'd already ran over two kilometers, did he realize that Nirvana Flame didn't give chase.

Black Pupil had been expecting a blade to cut him down at any moment, but he escaped! Perhaps the other party didn't even view him as worth the effort.

Nirvana Flame was truly mad, but he had the ability to back it up.

"Boss, what happened?" Messy asked.

"It's Nirvana Flame," Black Pupil said with a dejected sigh.

"What!? It's really him?"

"Did you two fight?"

"Think about it. If we had, I'd already be a cold corpse on the ground. That guy is even scarier than the rumours described!" Black Pupil said in a grave tone. It was only the briefest interaction, but the sharp killing intent from Nie Yan's eyes still gave him chills.

"Really? No way, really?" Messy said doubtfully. They were all well aware of Black Pupil's skill. He ranked in the top five among all the players in the Evil Faction. As a Soulweaver, if he wanted to escape, there was no one that could catch him, not even Nirvana Flame!

Black Pupil shook his head. "You'll understand what I mean if you ever come across him."

"So, what do we do? Do we keep tailing him?"

"Of course. Pass on the news to the Blood Reaver Corps. Nirvana Flame is heading to the underworld. Since they suffered a crushing defeat at his hands not too long ago, they'll probably want revenge. This is the perfect opportunity. Besides that, others will be interested in the Death God's Edge in his possession," Black Pupil said after thinking for a while. No matter how strong Nirvana Flame was, he was only one man.

Before long, the news of Nie Yan heading to the underworld solo circulated around among the big names of the Evil Faction. Nie Yan had no idea that before he even arrived in the underworld, a huge net was already set for him. This information was kept confidential among only a small circle of people. So, Guo Huai's intelligence didn't pick anything up.

When the Blood Reaver Corps passed on this information to the Century Financial Group, Cao Xu was overjoyed. With Nie Yan making the trek alone, this was the perfect opportunity to assassinate him. He quickly mobilized his connections in the underworld. They would be ready for his arrival.

Nie Yan was different from Cao Xu in the sense that he liked to go solo. Only on rare occasions where he had no other choice would he join a team. Even though he had the support of World Bloc behind him, he had never once touched the company's funds for personal use. In fact, it was quite the opposite, with him frequently lending support to the company. Often times he was no different from a solo player. Meanwhile, Cao Xu didn't hesitate to make use of the Century Financial Group's resources, not batting an eye at the money he was spending. If Nie Yan made use of World Bloc's capital, he could definitely go head-to-head with Cao Xu already. However, he had his own principles and refused to rely on World Bloc's finances. He would rather take on all the risks himself, letting Cao Xu waste time and important resources trying to kill him, Even though this kind of expenditure was nothing more than a drop in the ocean for a leviathan like the Century Financial Group, every little bit added up.

Information about Nie Yan being in possession of Paternoster's Warhammer and the Death God's Edge spread like wildfire. This stirred up the hearts of the players from the Evil Faction even more. If Nie Yan died, two Sacred Objects would drop. This drove them mad with greed.
