When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 635 - 468: A Fate-Plagued Organization_2
"What did they go to the Domain Outside Wilderness for?" Xiang Beifei inquired.
Xu Yang shook his head, "That's not something I have access to. I only know that Senior Helian and Senior Mu said they had something to do, and that was all. However, after both seniors went to the Domain Outside Wilderness, they never returned."
Xu Yang sighed softly.
This matter had a significant impact on their organization.
"Originally, our discipline within the Unrestrained Organization was strict, and even though the seniors were not present, we were still operating in an orderly fashion. However, seven years ago, the beast tide erupted. The Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage for some reason infiltrated our base; they were very strange and extremely powerful, and they took control of the people who were left to guard our base," Xu Yang said.
Xu Yang's expression turned instantly somber as he recalled the beast tide from seven years ago.
"When the beast tide erupted, facing a life-and-death situation, the Unrestrained chose to put aside their grievances and join the alliance's guardians to fight the beast tide together. After we repelled the beast tide, the remaining members returned to the base, but unexpectedly, the base had issues. Everyone was unprepared, and those strange desolate beasts were also very good at hiding. Slowly they began to strike at us. Many of us didn't realize it until it was too late..."
Xu Yang sighed.
That beast tide was a devastating blow to the Unrestrained Organization!
Without powerful beings of Heavenly Connection realm to lead, and with the Ghost Whiskers being particularly cunning and cautious, never showing even a hint of vulnerability, they gradually devoured the scattered members of the Unrestrained all across Jiuzhou.
Two years later, this Unrestrained had directly become that Unrestrained.
"There are not many of us Unrestrained left, and up to now, we've basically become a scatter of sand, lacking the appeal to recruit new members. The survivors could only seek help from your father, and fortunately, your father provided us with a temporary shelter. Although he still did not agree to become our leader, he has taken good care of us; but the good times did not last—"
Xu Yang took a deep sigh,
"Your father disappeared from Jiuzhou for reasons unknown, heading to the Domain Outside Wilderness, and then he never came back. We remaining Unrestrained, once again plunged into despair."
It's as if fate was playing cruel tricks on them; the Unrestrained Organization was beset with misfortune.
The previous leader Jialuoluo vanished all of a sudden, leaving mysterious instructions to find a new leader. However, the new leader turned out to be an outsider who was unwilling to get involved in such matters, leaving the Unrestrained without a head.
Then, for some unknown reason, two seniors of the Heavenly Connection realm also left the Jiuzhou continent for the Domain Outside Wilderness, and shortly after, they never came back, and the pillars of the organization were gone.
Following that, the beast tide erupted, and the Unrestrained members were "Switching the Beams with Pillars" by the Ghostly Visage, almost completely wiped out.
Just when the new leader decided to take them in, it wasn't long before the new leader also went to the Domain Outside Wilderness and then disappeared!
The remaining Unrestrained were completely bewildered!
They had lost their leader, lost their pillars, and had no idea what to do next!
To say they were Unrestrained, yet their base had changed hands.
To say they were not Unrestrained, and yet they were the true Unrestrained!
"Did someone in your organization awaken the Unlucky System? How come all the unlucky things happened to you?" Xiang Beifei couldn't help but say.
Truth be told, if someone had awakened a system that turned misfortune into strength, causing trouble within the organization, it would make sense.
Xu Yang gave a wry smile, unsure of how to answer this question.
"So now, we only have you," he said, looking hopefully at Xiang Beifei.
"Me?" Xiang Beifei raised an eyebrow again.
"Regardless of whether your father acknowledges it or not, we all regard him as our leader, but now that he has disappeared, we the survivors need to consider finding another leader. After thinking it over, the only person we could turn to is the leader's son. We have been hesitant because Lord Jialuoluo did not leave any instructions, but your performance has made us realize that you share many similarities with your father. Everyone agrees that after you graduate from college, we would like you to be our leader," said Xu Yang.
Xu Yang was not joking.
"Then you are going to be disappointed," Xiang Beifei said.
Xu Yang urgently said, "We can unconditionally obey any order."
"It's not about that, but I won't be this leader; it's for your own good," Xiang Beifei did not elaborate.
In fact, the next step—he would also be going to the Domain Outside Wilderness.
If he really became their leader, it would only make them happy for a couple of days, and then they would be confused all over again.
That was like rubbing salt into someone's wound.
It wasn't very kind.
Xu Yang looked very disappointed.
"How many people are left in your organization now?" Xiang Beifei inquired.
"Including me, a total of fourteen."
"Fourteen?"
That was indeed a sorrowful number.
The once formidable Unrestrained, which could rival the alliance, was now reduced to a mere fourteen struggling to survive.
An organization of such scale, even if it wanted to recruit new members now, it would be futile. With fourteen members, not a single one at the Heavenly Connection realm, and without any hope in sight, regardless of their beliefs.
"And the siblings, Dai Ping and Dai Lan, are they counted too?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Yes, they are a few of our organization's highly-skilled God Refining experts, also at the SR level. They've always been under cover on the side of the desolate beasts, monitoring their every move, and collecting information on these ghostly things. But as soon as they heard that our stronghold was destroyed, they went to investigate," Xu Yang said.
Unrestrained within Unrestrained, acting as undercover operatives.
This was indeed a novelty.
"If they were undercover, why hadn't they mentioned anything as big as the beast eggs?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"Actually, they have been trying to stop the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage all this time," Xu Yang said, "From what I know, when the Ghostly Visage began deploying the beast eggs, they started to sabotage them. As far as I know, they destroyed a total of three hundred ninety-four locations."
"Four hundred and one now."
At that moment, a tall woman wrapped in an overcoat walked out from under the camphor tree at one end of the park.
Xiang Beifei looked up indifferently at this person.
It was Dai Lan.
"Xu Yang told us you were here," Dai Lan said with a beaming smile, "My brother and I came together."
"I came alone."
Dai Ping responded coldly, walking over from the other side. He hadn't walked with Dai Lan, but instead made a point of coming from a different direction.
Dai Lan cast a resentful glance at her older brother.
The siblings, one with the "Lone Ranger System," and the other with the "In Pairs System." The sister liked to cling to her brother, but the brother always preferred to be a lone wolf with an aloof air.
"Have you dealt with it?" Xu Yang asked.
"So far, it's just a drop in the bucket. Lin Long deployed the beast eggs, not only sending us but also hundreds of their other accomplices. The number of beast eggs we could destroy was limited," Dai Ping said solemnly.
"After all, it's the entirety of Jiuzhou; we've done our best," Dai Lan spread her hands.
"So, he knows everything?" Dai Ping asked Xu Yang.
"Yes, I've told him everything that needs to be said," Xu Yang nodded.
"Then—" Dai Ping looked at Xiang Beifei.
"No ideas," Xiang Beifei stated.
Dai Ping fell silent.
They had been looking for a true leader, and now it seemed this leader was like a hot potato; no one wanted to take up the role. And on their own, they couldn't see where hope lay, as none of them had the ability to lead, which left them feeling very lost.
"But you have the ability to single-handedly storm into the Unrestrained Organization and kill all the Ghostly Visage! Something no one else can do! If that doesn't qualify you to be our leader, we don't know who else could possibly be qualified!"
Dai Lan stepped forward, looking at Xiang Beifei with a mix of shamelessness and persistence, "We don't want to wander anymore. Whether you have plans or not; you are our leader! We're sticking with you! I'm even willing to offer myself to you if necessary!"
