Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 427 The Kill Order (Continued)
Trading with any of the eight major guilds or any member or affiliated merchant guild of the Guild Alliance is prohibited.

Awoo paused for a moment, then couldn't help but bark:
"Isn't this just plain disgusting?"

The hall doesn't only have the Chamber of Commerce as a trading channel; they can only prohibit their own Chamber of Commerce from trading, and they can't control others.

Li Xia frowned as well. Not being able to trade with the Chamber of Commerce was just a bit more troublesome and less cost-effective.

But this so-called alliance is actually more like a statement.

It means that the eight major guilds and the guild alliance will advance and retreat together.

"It's really just to show that our positions are consistent."

Lisa gave a wry smile twice, then said:

"Secondly, the eight major guilds and the guild alliance must not provide shelter or assistance to the pursuers."

This point is even less of a practical use, and Li Xia has never intended to rely on any guild's help.

These large guilds can only trade, and cannot mix in too many other things, otherwise they will all have to pay back the debts one day.

"No, the Garbage Collector's kill order actually got all eight of your guilds to mobilize?"

That's kind of funny.

Aowu listened indignantly for a long time. It wasn't afraid of being chased, given its glorious record of killing thousands of people together with its leader.

Is Grandpa Dragon afraid of the garbage collector?

"This alliance is a product of a certain crazy period."

Lisa sighed. In that crazy period, guilds truly dominated everything, monopolizing all kinds of resources. If solo players didn't rely on guilds, they were like livestock to be slaughtered at will.

The Eight Greats were incredibly flamboyant and arrogant back then. The eight deputies behind them were like the blazing sun, their authority enveloping the entire hall.

Even though these eight people hardly cared about the trivial matters below the ninth rank, their eyes were only fixed on the Void Sea.

But as long as they exist, that is the strongest source of confidence for the eight major guilds.

Within the ninth rank, all are mere ants!
"The hateful way garbage collectors and vampires do things doesn't mean they're all dragging you down with their mess."

Can you really tolerate this?

"That's another problem. Some guilds want to leave the alliance, but they don't know if times will change."

In addition, this covenant rarely involves punishment and has few constraints.

And nobody wants to be the first to leave.”

Li Xia understood instantly, and he exchanged a glance with Aowu:
These guilds still dream that one day in the future, an era in which guilds dominate everything will return!
So it would be very awkward to cancel it later.

"Most importantly, the chances of this kill order being issued are very limited, extremely limited."

Lisa tapped her delicate, nail-painted fingers on the table:

"There is basically only one opportunity every two or three years, and this kill order was issued only after intermediate review."

In other words, the effectiveness only covers the intermediate and low-level.

Higher-level kill orders are even more difficult to issue, requiring submission to the highest level of the guild for discussion and decision.

Each guild issues a kill order only once every ten years, and these orders do not accumulate.

At this point, the truth about the kill order finally became clear.

It seemed to have offended the eight major guilds and the guild alliance, but in reality it was just a disgusting thing.

The kill order was issued by a mid-level official; whether a high-level official would issue a kill order in the same way remains to be seen.
Then we'll see how ruthless Li Xia is in killing the garbage collectors.

Li Xia pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked:
"Can you reveal how the garbage collector hunts him down?"

Lisa nodded without hesitation. She hated the garbage collectors to death. She would be willing to expose them even if it meant stripping them bare: "The garbage collectors are very strong in terms of time and space and collection. They usually use time and space methods to locate things."

but"

Lisa gave Li Xia a deep look:
"You must be some kind of special being within the temple, protected by it, a protection that the garbage collectors cannot overcome."

Even having access-granting items won't work.

The executioners were under very tight protection; ordinary apostles were unaware of their existence.

Even though the temple possesses incredible power, it is powerless against the Apostles of the Void.

Just as a person can command an army to destroy a country with a wave of their hand, they can do all sorts of incredible things that are impossible for a cell to understand.

However, just as there is no way to deal with cancer cells, they must rely on executioners to kill them.

Li Xia neither confirmed nor denied it, but simply listened quietly.

Lisa didn't seem to mind and said in a low voice:
"Therefore, conventional methods of pursuit are ineffective against you, whether it's location tracking, item tracking, or skill beacons."

They would all be intercepted by the temple, but the garbage collectors might have a special way.

However, once those special methods are used, the temple will plug the loophole.

So there are still ways to hunt them down, although the cost will be high.

But since the kill order has been issued, even if the cost is high, the garbage collector will grit his teeth and keep going!
Li Xia remained as calm as a deep spring, nodding in thanks to Lisa.

"Thank you. I'll remember this favor."

Lisa explained the whole story in great detail, almost without any difficulty.

Li Xia acknowledged this favor, but only to Lisa personally, not to the Brotherhood of Steel.

He stood up, brushed his hand across the items on the table, and the orange glow that filled the sky instantly disappeared into his palm.

"let's go."

The room was once again filled with soft light, and when the orange light disappeared, it seemed to take Lisa's soul with it.

Li Xia nodded his thanks again and prepared to leave. If the business deal couldn't be done, he would find another place to do it.

Watching Li Xia's retreating figure, Lisa gritted her teeth, her pretty face contorted in pain.

How can you make the orange-tier equipment right in front of you fly away?

Bullshit! If I let it fly away, I'm not Lisa!
She stomped her foot suddenly, her large, watery eyes reddening, and shouted:
"Xia, wait!"

Li Xia turned around in surprise and saw Lisa clenching her fists tightly, her voice hoarse as she said:

"Let's continue doing business!"

Huh? Even in this state, how can they still continue?

Aowu and Heitan opened their mouths. Although they didn't understand why, the alliance was clearly effective.

The notarization process at the temple is far more rigorous than the law; otherwise, Lisa wouldn't have been so furious in the first place.

Li Xia gave her a question mark with her eyes.

Then Lisa appeared with a slightly 'ferocious' smile, and said in a sinister tone:
"Heh heh, back when this contract was signed, there were no such tricks as shareholding on behalf of others, entrepot trade, shell companies, or layers of nesting!"
"I'm taking this order! No one can change my mind, that's what I said!"

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Yesterday, some readers felt that the balance had been disrupted and asked why the Hall of Fame wasn't taking any action.

I really don't understand why the temple would interfere with such private matters.
