Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 155 The Hidden School, the Seventh School, the Demonic Path

[The world is collapsing for Mo Dao Zu Shi players! Is this game even playable?]

[Those who constantly claim to offer the most freedom, yet blindly favor the Order faction—damn it, do we, the players of the Demonic Path, not even have the right to continue playing?]

[You keep reinforcing the Order faction all day, but why don't you do something about us Chaos players? We want spirits, we want beasts, we want NPCs like Lu Yuan!]

Anyone else like us? Let's protest offline together.

[Let's just start planning this unboxing. I've disliked that brat for ages.]

[Why bother opening the box? Let's go to the Eternal Company headquarters, ambush him, and stab him to death. Let him learn his lesson.]

[Damn it, you bunch of Demonic Cultivation players, you've really taken Demonic Cultivation to a whole new level! This is a legitimate gaming forum, can't you at least say something lawful? This isn't a murder forum.]

[Agreed. Some of you who are fans of the game "Mo Dao Zu Shi" should tone it down. This is a legitimate gaming forum. Also, you won't find the headquarters of Eternal Company, so stop thinking about this and that.]

What do you mean? Isn't the headquarters of Eternal Company in Guangzhou?

[Yes, Eternal Company's headquarters is indeed in Guangzhou, but the problem is, you can't find the specific location. The contact address for Eternal Company's headquarters is fake. That's right, you read that correctly. The contact address for Eternal Company's headquarters is fake. They claim to have their headquarters in Guangzhou, but you can't actually find any registration information for them.]

I went to the address they left; it was an abandoned mental hospital. Damn, it scared me to death.

[Damn, this game is trash, and the game company is trash.]

Even game companies are being this shrewd these days.

Hey, hey, hey, don't change the subject! We players of the Demonic Path have dignity too. It's wrong of you righteous factions to keep getting stronger.

[What's wrong with that? Haven't you heard the saying, "Good will always triumph over evil"? Strengthening the Order faction is perfectly reasonable. If the Order faction in the game weren't strengthened, given your behavior, the whole world would be wiped out. These NPCs can't be respawned; every one that dies is one less to lose.]

Damn, that's not fair!

[Gentlemen, is it possible that the path of demonic cultivation is not as simple as you think?]

Do you still remember the Demon Yin Sect?

Your so-called demonic forces are a joke.

[I'm a player within the Imperial Court. Let me tell you, currently the only officially recognized demonic faction is the Demon Yin Sect. As for other demonic factions, they can only be considered martial arts factions with different ideologies.]

To put it bluntly, compared to the Demon Yin Sect, your so-called evil deeds are nothing but petty squabbles.

Players who come from government departments have far more information than players from outside the government.

[Nonsense, we are merely demons, not beasts.]

【That's right, that's right. The Demon Yin Sect belongs to the beastly faction, they're not the same as us, don't get confused.】

You guys have a lot of opinions about the Demon Yin Sect.

Anyone with a shred of humanity dislikes the Demonic Yin Sect.

To be fair, most of these players still have some moral bottom line; even when playing games, they won't do anything reckless.

The reputation of the Demon Yin Sect is terrible, both in the game and in reality.

There is no doubt about this.

[Oh, if I told you that the Demon Yin Sect has a hidden professional inheritance, would your opinion of the Demon Yin Sect change a little?]

[Hidden class? What hidden class? A strange path? Or a third-rate class?]

[Neither of those; it's a hidden school of thought, the Demon.]

The true path of magic is about profession, not faction.

The Demon Yin Sect has mastered the inheritance of the seventh school of martial arts.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Demonic Yin Sect is the final destination for players.

The player posted several messages in a row, his words bordering on madness.

He seems mentally unstable.

Dude, something's off with you.

"You're not from the Demon Yin Sect, are you?"

[Brother, if you're from the Demon Yin Sect, just say so. I'm short on Order Points.]

[Could you please reveal your sect's location? We'd all like to come check you out, the kind with light sticks.]

Evil and heretical sects should be punished by everyone.

I'll fuck you to death, you bastard.

[Give players their final refuge? My refuge my ass! Can you even beat Lu Yuan? You think you're worthy of this show of bravado?]

[The Demon Yin Sect, a cowardly sect. If you're so capable, why don't you go and take on Lu Yuan?]

[Hahaha, going after Lu Yuan? Hahaha, we actually have that idea.]

[I'm not afraid to tell you, our sect has decided to take action against Lu Yuan. Once we possess Lu Yuan, the entire world will belong to the Demon Yin Sect.]

【Hahahahaha. 】

Wait, is this guy on drugs?

[He not only kowtowed, but the entire sect kowtowed! How dare they attack Lu Yuan? Are they out of their minds?]

[They really don't know how overpowered Lu Yuan is.] [Invincible stats, and immune to control effects, how are you going to possess him? Do you really not take the Holy Guardians seriously?]

Who knows how many stats Lu Yuan stacked up? He blasted an asteroid apart with a single punch during the challenge space.

They'll listen after they take a few punches.

[Haha, a few punches? No need, one punch is enough.]

The Demon Yin Sect is doomed.

……

Wangyou County.

"Huh? Super First Rank? Your Highness, isn't that too high?"

The old woman was somewhat apprehensive upon seeing the contents of the imperial edict.

Your Highness, how dare you write this?
Official ranks and grades are not determined by you.

Didn't you notice that this Peach Blossom Fairy's official rank is only seventh grade?

If you suddenly become a first-grade expert, what will you do if you give it to a divine beast in the future?
Wow, Princess, you're going a bit overboard.

"Can't you?"

"It's already written down, and besides, she's the first mythical beast to pledge allegiance to the imperial court. Giving her a higher reward is good; it shows that our imperial court is willing to spend a fortune to acquire her."

Ji Mengluo discovered that he had indeed written his rank too high.

But since it's already written, let it be high; imperial edicts can't be altered.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it."

The old woman thought for a moment and then stopped talking.

The imperial edict has already been written, and that's all that can be done.

Even if the imperial advisor and others were to blame her, it wouldn't fall on the princess.

After all, the imperial edict was issued by His Majesty, so blame His Majesty if you must.

"what?"

"That's it?"

The Peach Blossom Fairy looked at Ji Menglu with curiosity.

"Yes, that's it."

"In a few days, someone will send her a belt; the imperial court has already recognized her identity."

Ji Menglu handed the imperial edict to his subordinates.

Without pausing, his men took the imperial edict and ran out of the city.

"A top-tier item!"

"I am only a seventh-rank official."

The Peach Blossom Fairy was somewhat unhappy.

"Why didn't you say so earlier? If you had just spoken up, I would have simply elevated your rank in the imperial edict, and that would have been the end of it, wouldn't it?"

Ji Menglu glared at him.

If you have any opinions, just say them.

"Can this still happen?"

"Why not? It's an imperial edict. As long as it's written down, it's permissible."

Ji Menglu stared wide-eyed.

"Ahem, this isn't a good idea."

Chen Nian, standing to the side, felt somewhat embarrassed.

"why not?"

"Don't worry, my fifth great-uncle won't scold me. At most, he'll say a few words about my father."

"It's alright, don't worry about my father, he's thick-skinned."

Ji Menglu said nonchalantly.

Anyway, she had already written the imperial edict.

If there's anything you need to say, go talk to her good-for-nothing father.

"what?"

Chen Nian looked completely bewildered.

Has the world developed to this extent?
Why does it seem like the royal family is being somewhat perfunctory about their throne?
