I Ended the God at Level 1

103: The King’s Absence (3/4)“Oh my, a siege?”

“It’s too sudden.”

“I haven’t even reached second transfer yet, and NPCs are already sieging?”

“This is ridiculous, how is this different from a normal game?”

“Brothers, let’s go back and defend the city.”

“……”

While the players were discussing animatedly, the second Luanxing City announcement refreshed.

“Ding!”

“Luanxing City Announcement: General Zhang Haiqing, the defending general, has issued a large-scale quest—Defend Luanxing Main City and its Ten Subsidiary Cities.”

“Quest Content: Assist NPCs in fighting against the bandits and defend Luanxing City and its Ten Subsidiary Cities. You will receive generous rewards.”

“The NPC has issued a quest.”

“Brothers, let’s return to the city.”

“Haha, defending the main city.”

At this moment, motivated by the quest, players in the wilderness all returned to the city.

In front of the Rat Kingdom’s palace.

Li Si’s face was grim: The insidious Sword-Wielding Bandit had actually deceived everyone. Bi Xuan’s worries were not unfounded; the Thirteen Bandits truly came for Luanxing City, intending to seize its territory.

But why was General Zhang Haiqing the one issuing the quest, not Bi Xuan? Could it be that Bi Xuan was out and not currently within Luanxing City’s borders?

This thought arose in Li Si’s mind.

“Who? Who dares to kill my subordinate?” A rat-man clad in golden armor rushed over from a distance.

Li Si glanced at the rat-man, a Level 35 Golden King BOSS. Not bad, he was confident he could handle it easily.

“I killed him,” Li Si said coldly.

“Why? You must give me a plausible reason, otherwise, you will face imprisonment,” the rat-man BOSS said calmly.

“It’s simple, he insulted the human race, so he deserved to die. General of the Rat-man Race, if Lord of Luanxing City Bi Xuan had heard his words, your Rat Kingdom might already be gone,” Li Si said.

“What? He dared to do such a thing?” Beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on the rat-man BOSS’s forehead.

“No more talk. Lord of Luanxing City Bi Xuan’s nephew is missing, and he’s in your Rat Kingdom’s palace. Now, take me into the palace to search, or I will immediately report to Lord of Luanxing City Bi Xuan,” Li Si invoked Bi Xuan’s name.

“Young master, please.”

The rat-man BOSS quickly led the way, while also ordering rat-man soldiers to inform the rat-man emperor. Soon, a plump rat-man adorned in gold and jade ran over, trembling with fear.

“Search immediately, don’t miss a single corner,” the rat-man emperor ordered as soon as he understood the situation.

“No need, I know where Lord of Luanxing City Bi Xuan’s nephew is,” Bai Yuèyue walked directly towards a certain courtyard.

In the spacious courtyard, a fair-skinned infant was placed in a pot, with flames burning beneath it.

Were they going to boil the infant?

Li Si was shocked beyond belief at this sight.

The rat-man emperor was almost scared to pee his pants. How could they dare to do this? Boiling a human infant, was this going to doom the Rat Kingdom?

“Bring out Concubine Li!” His roar echoed throughout the palace.

“Emperor of the Rat-man Race, I hope your handling of this matter satisfies me.” Li Si’s voice was icy cold.

“Young human, rest assured, I will definitely satisfy you.” The rat-man emperor wiped the sweat from his forehead, then said, “Behead all participants in this matter.”

“Your Majesty, spare us! Concubine Li made us do all of this!” The rat-man maids cried out for mercy.

“To give birth to a prince, Concubine Li specifically sought out a secret recipe, saying that by eating human infants, she could 100% give birth to a prince. This has nothing to do with us, please, Your Majesty, investigate thoroughly.”

“Investigate my ass, drag them all out and behead them!” the rat-man emperor said mercilessly.

Following that, rat heads rolled, and the so-called Concubine Li was no exception; her head was chopped off by the soldiers.

“Let’s go back and turn in the quest.”

Li Si turned and left.

Soon after, Luanxing City appeared in their sight. An endless horde of bandits was attacking the city; the sounds of battle and roars pierced the sky.

“Master, we can’t get through,” Bai Yuèyue said.

“Go to a nearby small town and take the Great Teleportation Technique from there.”

“Master, you’re so smart!” Bai Yuèyue was shocked; how could she not have thought of that?

Time passed, and the three, master and disciples, finally completed the quest.

Li Si successfully obtained 10 points of Golden Master-Disciple Value as he wished.

Afterward, he directly cast the Great Teleportation Technique, and his figure appeared inside the Lord of Luanxing City’s mansion.

“Where is Bi Xuan?” he asked directly.

“Lord of Luanxing City Bi Xuan has gone to attend the Kyushu Conference and cannot return in the short term. General Zhang Haiqing has already informed Lord of Luanxing City Bi Xuan to return as soon as possible,” the butler of the Lord of Luanxing City’s mansion said worriedly.

“Damn, Bi Xuan really isn’t here.” Li Si’s heart pounded; this must have been within the Sword-Wielding Bandit’s calculations as well. How insidious, truly too insidious. As for the Sword-Wielding Bandit’s diary, it must have been false information.

Who writes a diary if they’re a serious person? But why did Lord of Luanxing City Bi Xuan believe it then?

Li Si felt a bit confused.

Immediately, his figure arrived at the main gate of Luanxing City and saw General Zhang Haiqing, who was directing the defending soldiers to resist the bandit attack.

“General Zhang, how are things looking?”

“Things are not looking good.” General Zhang Haiqing’s face was full of worry: “Wang Ruihu has rebelled, and Luanxing City is in peril. But that’s not the main point; what’s more important is the War of Kings. The bandit side has twelve Kings, while we only have ten.”

Kings were the key; if the Kings won, the city was safe; if the Kings lost, the city would be destroyed.

“So, as long as we have two more Kings on our side, we can defend the city?” Li Si felt this was not difficult.

Zhou Guang is one, and Zhou An is another, isn’t that two? It’s just that he didn’t know if they were willing to help. They should be willing, right? After all, they lived in Luanxing City and had some affection for it.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations! You have triggered a hidden quest—The Missing Kings of Luanxing City (Star Rating Fluctuates).”

“The Qingzhou Great Bandit is coming fiercely, and Luanxing City lacks King-level combat power. Please invite at least two King-level combatants as soon as possible to assist Luanxing City in resisting the bandits. You will receive generous rewards.”

“Do you accept the quest?”

“Accept.”

Li Si answered yes decisively.

“In the back street of Luanxing City, there are two Kings on the surface. You know Zhou Guang of Baiyun Abode. There’s also Red Dragon of Hongyun Abode, Zhou An; you can try to persuade him,” General Zhang Haiqing said.

“I’ll go try.”

Li Si activated the Great Teleportation Technique and appeared outside the gate of Baiyun Abode.

He happened to meet Zhou Guang pushing open the door.

“You brat, why are you here again?” Zhou Guang said grumpily.

“I’ve come to ask Lord Zhou to come out of seclusion,” Li Si quickly said.

“To deal with the Qingzhou Great Bandit?”

“Yes!”

“I’m not going.” Zhou Guang refused without hesitation.

“Why?”

“Because of Bi Xuan. I asked him for Tianzi Number One several times, and he wouldn’t give it to me. If he won’t even give me that much face, how can I help him? If I helped him, my Dao heart would be uneasy.” Zhou Guang slowly lay down and began to rock in his chair.

“Lord Zhou, Luanxing City is in grave danger. For the sake of Luanxing City’s residents, please help.” Li Si resorted to moral blackmail. Although it wasn’t very reasonable, for the sake of the quest rewards, he didn’t care if it was unreasonable.

“It has nothing to do with me. If Bi Xuan can be the Lord of Luanxing City, why can’t the Qingzhou Great Bandit be? Besides, I have my own plans and won’t waste my energy on a mere Luanxing City.” With that, Zhou Guang closed his eyes and said no more, waving his hand to signal Li Si to leave.

“……”

Li Si was helpless. Since Zhou Guang was unwilling to help, only Red Dragon Zhou An was left. He had originally thought of not approaching Red Dragon, but now it seemed he had no choice.

Immediately, he quickly walked towards Hongyun Abode.
