Chapter 123: Chapter 122: The Young Master of the Tian Family, Tian Yu!
[Fifth World]
Night fell, and darkness shrouded the Dawn Sanctuary.
Hundreds of professionals from the Infinite Guild were marching toward the wilderness.
At the forefront of the group was a young archer, dressed in silver-white chainmail and wearing a silver crown, exuding a noble aura befitting the eldest son of the Tian Family, the top household in Tianjing—Tian Yu. He questioned Infinite Phantom, who was accompanying him:
"I've been in your Tianlang for two days now. Why haven't I met the beasttamer you mentioned yet?"
Infinite Phantom hastily explained, "Young Master Yu, that guy must have caught wind of us and deliberately gone into hiding. I've already sent people to scout his whereabouts. The moment we find any clues, we'll notify you immediately."
At the same time, Infinite Phantom thought of Zhang Yue and secretly mused, 'This time, without the support of the Supreme Guild or the Misty Rain Pavilion, and with someone from the Tian Family taking action personally, even if you have incredible skills, as long as I find you, your death is inevitable.'
At this moment, a female assassin named Tian Xin, who was traveling with them, spoke up, "Brother Tian Yu, I heard the Gate of Hell in the Fifth World here in Tianlang has opened. Since we're waiting around anyway, why not explore the Gate of Hell? At least this trip won't be wasted."
"Mm. I looked up information about the Gate of Hell yesterday," Tian Yu analyzed. "Most of the high-grade treasure chests inside have already been excavated by professionals from Tianlang, Linhai, and Ganyang. Currently, only one Hell-grade chest remains, but its guardian is too powerful, and no one has managed to take it yet."
Before he finished speaking, Infinite Phantom clenched his fists and grumbled, "At least fifty percent of the treasure chests in the Gate of Hell were taken by that beasttamer alone. Every chest our Infinite Guild worked hard to dig up inside was stolen by that guy."
"Oh?" Tian Yu seemed intrigued by this. "A mere beasttamer has such overwhelming strength? Your Infinite Guild is the top guild in Zhejiang Province, yet you were crushed by a lowly beast tamer?"
Infinite Phantom's face turned red. "That beasttamer is indeed formidable—"
"I'd like to see just how powerful this beast tamer really is," Tian Yu interrupted.
Infinite Phantom gritted his teeth and said, "I wouldn't trouble the Tian Family unless it was absolutely necessary. But that beasttamer has caused our Infinite Guild too much loss. If he doesn't die, our development will continue to suffer "
Tian Yu replied nonchalantly, "Relax. As long as you can find him, I'll remove this threat for your Infinite Guild."
Infinite Phantom expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, Young Master Yu. In the future, should the Tian Family need anything, I, Infinite Phantom, will risk life and limb to assist you."
After a pause, Infinite Phantom added, "By the way, the Hell-grade chest in the Gate of Hell is incredibly valuable and unique in the world. If you obtain it, Young Master Yu, it will undoubtedly propel you to greatness."
Right at that moment, Tian Yu received a message from someone marked as Tian Family Forge on Feixin:
["Young Master, the equipment you requested has been completed and is being urgently transported to Infinite Guild headquarters in Tianlang."]
"Good, thank you."
Beside him, Tian Xiner peeked at the message and asked curiously, "Brother Tian Yu, why did you have them make equipment?"
"For the Hell-grade chest," Tian Yu replied.
As it turned out, Tian Yu had set his sights on the Hell-grade chest in the Gate of Hekl long ago. But with rumors that its guardian consisted of three Level 40 Lord-ranked Soul Devourers and forty regular Soul Devourers, the combined strength was too formidable. As a result, no one had been able to take the chest so far.
To ensure success in this one-and-only opportunity to enter the Gate of Hell, Tian Yu had his family spare no expense in rushing to produce top-tier equipment.
At this point, Tian Yu instructed Infinite Phantom, "We'll head to the Gate of Hell and wait. Have your people deliver my equipment to the gate."
"Understood!"
With that, the group set off for the Gate of Hell.
Little did they know, several pairs of eyes in the darkness were watching Tian Yu, Tian Xin, and their companions.
"Finally, an opportunity to catch Tian Yu and Tian Xin away from the Tian Family. But these past two days, the Infinite Guild has stuck to them like glue. How do we make a move?"
"If we don't act now, once they return to Tianjing, targeting them through the Tian Family will be nearly impossible."
"Tian Yu and Tian Xin are key players among the Tian Family's new generation of professionals. Even if we can't eliminate them permanently, killing them just once will weaken their strength. That way, they'll pose less of a threat at the provincial championship."
"Not yet! Didn't you hear what they said earlier? They're planning to enter the Gate of Hell. Since every professional only has one lifetime chance to enter, the Infinite Guild members can't follow them inside. That will be our opportunity."
"Let's move!"
In the shadows, a group of black-clad figures silently followed the Infinite Guild professionals heading toward the Gate of Hell...
———
Soon, Tian Yu and his party arrived outside the Gate of Hell.
They waited quietly for a while, but instead of receiving the equipment, Infinite Phantom received shocking news:
[ "The Infinite Guild team transporting the equipment from Dawn Shelter to the Tian Family was ambushed, and the equipment was destroyed."]
Hearing this, Tian Yu flew into a rage. "That equipment was crucial. How could you not assign more people to guard it?"
Infinite Phantom was equally stunned by the news. "Who would dare attack my Infinite Guild's people? Could it be that beasttamer again?"
However, the scouts reported that the attackers were a group of archers with extremely high damage. Each archer had an average damage of at least 3,000, and they were killed by a barrage of arrows before even seeing the attackers clearly.
"If it's not Zero, then who could it be?" Infinite Phantom was baffled. "Who would dare blatantly ambush the Infinite Guild?"
Tian Xin, however, noticed a troubling detail: the attackers' damage was extraordinarily high.
In Zhejiang Province, a second-tier province in Longguo, no new-generation team of professionals could have such high damage output. Even the top guild, Infinite, had an average archer output of just over 2,000. Clearly, the attackers were on a whole other level.
"Could it be the Glory Guild?" Tian Xin speculated. "The Glory Guild has been our Tian Family's nemesis for 30 years. Maybe they heard we came to Tianlang and sent people here to retaliate?"
Tian Yu fell silent for a moment.
But the priority now was the Hell-grade chest.
"We have to return to Tianjing by 10 a.m. tomorrow for the provincial championship."
"There's no time to make new equipment. We're going in now to take the chest."
With that, Tian Yu, Tian Xin, and ten other Tian Family professionals entered the Gate of Hell.
Meanwhile, the Infinite Guild members spread out in the wilderness to grind and level up.
Minutes later, over a hundred fully armed, high-level professionals swarmed into the Gate of Hell with an imposing presence...
At the same time, Zhang Yue arrived outside the Gate of Hell.
The sight before him surprised him.
"Looks like I'm late. The Gate of Hell sure is lively today."
With that, Zhang Yue equipped his 5-star Gold Demon• Death's Eye and Lightning Hell Boots, leading the Apocalypse Black Dragon and Dark Skeleton King. Using his exclusive privilege, the Hell Key, he entered the Gate of Hell for a second time.
