1457 Fiery Locust Swarm's Response
"M-Miss Walker! There's been an emergency!" A servant urgently knocked on Fiery Queen's bedroom door.
The door opened a few moments later, and Fiery Queen stepped out of the room in her pajamas.
"What the hell is going on?" she muttered in an irritated voice.
"T-The Demon Sealing Faction has just issued a challenge to the Fiery Locust Swarm!" the servant stammered, his words heavy with the news.
"Demon Sealing Faction?" Fiery Queen did not immediately recognize the name and wore a puzzled look on her face.
"T-the Demon Sealing Faction is the one founded by Player Yuan!" the servant elaborated.
"What?! Player Yuan?!" Fiery Queen instantly recognized his name and almost choked on her saliva from shock.
"He challenged the Fiery Locust Swarm to a Faction War?! Why would he suddenly do this?!"
Fiery Queen suddenly recalled that Yuan's little sister was part of Bai Lianhua's faction.
"That little bitch must've cried to her brother about it!"
"Hm? Wait a minute."
Fiery Queen's anxiousness abruptly disappeared when she realized another thing.
"How many members does the Demon Sealing Faction have, again? Last I checked, they only had 11 members," she asked the servant, who quickly pulled out his phone and started typing.
"According to the database, they only have 12 members."
"Only twelve members?" Fiery Queen held a dumbfounded look on her face after hearing this information.
After a moment of silence, she burst out laughing, "Hahaha! Twelve! They're challenging the Fiery Locust Swarm with just 12 people?! They must be out of their damn minds!"
"Fuck, I was actually worried for a second there because of Player Yuan. This is actually great news since there's no way they could defeat the Fiery Locust Swarm in a Faction War! Even if Player Yuan's cultivation is at Spirit King, it won't help him defeat 1,000 people, much less 40,000, and he will surely make a mistake and get himself disqualified!"
Fiery Queen clenched her fists in excitement at this chance to defeat Player Yuan once and for all.
"Call Xu Boqin for me," she said to her servant.
After dialing Xu Boqin's number, the servant handed his phone to her.
"Hello? Who's this?"
"It's me."
"Miss Walker! I was expecting your call. You must be calling because of the Demon Sealing Faction's challenge request to us."
"Yes, that's right. Just in case, what are the terms? Did they impose any limits?"
"Well, they want to do siege mode with no player or cultivation limitation. They are also allowing martial techniques."
"Hahaha! No limitations?! Are they insane? Have they even been keeping up to date with the rest of the world, or do they spend all of their time in Cultivation Online? Do they truly believe they can defeat 40,000 players with just 12 in siege mode?!"
Fiery Queen was not laughing alone at this moment. Countless people around the world were laughing at the Demon Sealing Faction's seemingly foolish decision after seeing the terms, filling the internet with mockery.
[No player or cultivation limitation? Is the Demon Sealing Faction that arrogant? Or are they simply insane?]
[Do they realize that they'll have to defend their castle against 40,000 players with just 12?]
[Honestly, they probably don't even know the rules since this is their first time participating in a Faction War.]
[But why pick the Fiery Locust Swarm, a top 100 faction, as their first target? Are they on bad terms with each other or something?]
[They are probably doing this just for attention because they've become irrelevant.]
[Or they're being paid.]
[It's their own fault for losing relevance. Not only do they seem to have no intention of increasing their members, but they also don't participate in anything. Why did they even create the faction in the first place?]
Despite Yuan's popularity, few stood by him or defended his decision. In fact, some outright lost all respect for him, openly criticizing his choices.
[What a fucking arrogant bastard. He thinks he's invincible or something just because he got lucky in Cultivation Online.]
[I cannot wait to see them being obliterated during the Faction War.]
[Get them good, Fiery Locust Swarm! Put them in their place!]
"Xu Boqin, I want you to accept their challenge." Fiery Queen said shortly after learning of the terms.
"Are you sure? What about the Eternal Lotuses?"
"Forget about them! I am only messing with them because I cannot directly mess with Player Yuan, and they're obviously supporting him!"
"How about the Faction War? Even though there are no player limitations, we should still set some limits to avoid being ridiculed for using a sledgehammer to crack open an egg."
"Who cares if you're ridiculed?! Send everyone! I want you to completely and utterly destroy Player Yuan and his faction! And it's better to be safe than sorry. Who knows what that tricky bastard has up his sleeves."
"What about the payment…? Will you still pay us the rest of the money even though we won't be fighting Eternal Lotuses?"
"Of course, I will still honor the rest of the payment. In fact, I will increase the payment depending on how much you humiliate them. The more satisfied I am, the more money I'm willing to give you."
"Hahaha! This is great! Thank you, Miss Walker! You will not be disappointed!" Xu Boqin laughed out loud.
"Then I will immediately respond to their challenge and accept it."
"Very well. Keep me updated."
"Of course."
After hanging up, Xu Boqin accepted the Demon Sealing Faction's challenge request.
Ding!
[Fiery Locust Swarm has accepted your challenge! Please wait for your match to be scheduled!]
Meifeng smiled when she saw this notification.
Chairman Lee had been staring at his screen since he sent out the challenge request, so he immediately saw the Fiery Locust Swarm's response.
He swiftly picked up the phone and called Yuan to relay the news.
"Yes, they have responded and accepted your challenge."
"Of course, I will immediately schedule your match and call you back when I have a date."
"No, thank you."
Chairman Lee hung up and started working on his computer again.
