The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Song Gua stood on a large rock on the mountainside, with his clones rapidly approaching from above.

Retrieving a clone is as simple as having it within the retrieval radius; it only requires a thought and is done instantly.

"I'll take it!"

"I'll take it!"

"I'll take it again!"

This scene can be made into a pixelated image.

A pixelated figure stands on a rock, swaying from side to side, with tiny figures just like him constantly falling from above.

The pixelated figure spreads its arms, and once the other pixelated figures enter within 40 meters of it, they will be absorbed into its body.

Double hit!

Triple hit!

Four-hit combo!

Good!

Great!

Excellent!

Unbelievable!

Thankfully, it was a close call.

Only a few clones strayed too far off course. Song Gua anticipated this and borrowed Huo Zi Ge's power to breathe fire and fly, changing his position and shortening the distance between them.

All the clones were recalled.

Song Gua flew back to the mountain wall, gazing at the mountain wall that seemed to support the heavens and the earth.

A surge of heroic spirit welled up within me.

Eight major guilds?

But that's all.

Song Gua punched a hole in the mountain and used the Return Scroll inside.

The reason it's not used outside is because the beam of the recall scroll might shoot off a cliff and be seen by others.

If someone were perceptive enough to check who appeared in the Temple of the Profession's teleportation area during this time period, they might become suspicious of themselves.

When used inside a cave, the teleportation beam will be blocked by the rocks.

Song Gua, along with his clone and all the loot dropped by the Deadly Pig Butcher, a wild boss, returned to Yunshan City.

Although we lost a few clones on this trip, the gains were absolutely worth it!

……

"This is it!"

"No doubt about it! If someone fell from that spot, no matter how far off course they went, they'd definitely be in Storm Canyon!"

"Where is he? There's not a trace of blood!!"

The eight major guilds were the first to arrive at the bottom of the valley.

They outnumbered the enemy and quickly spread out their forces in the valley.

This valley is also a leveling map, specifically for level 30.

The monsters roaming here are all level 30.

Those level 20 and 10+ professionals who came to join the fun had to avoid these monsters.

Level 30 is a watershed moment.

Once a professional reaches level 30, they can attempt the second job advancement challenge. Successfully advancing to the second job advancement will significantly increase their strength.

Therefore, level 30 is also a watershed moment for monsters, as they become much stronger than level 25.

The members of the eight major guilds cleared out the monsters in Storm Canyon while searching for the bandits.

The result was nothing.

It's not that they found nothing at all.

"President, that's all."

Zhao Yingxiong looked at the various Taoist robes his men had brought, and angrily puffed out his beard and glared at them.

"Impossible! Did they all grow wings?! There are only a few of them that can fly, so why can't we find a single corpse?!"

The members of the eight major guilds were all puzzled, frustrated, and completely baffled.

Having lived in Yunshan City for so many years, I've never experienced the feeling of being cheated out of my life.

However, Dao Youming, the president of June Green, burst into laughter.

Zhao Yingxiong, already irritated, immediately snapped at him upon hearing his laughter, "What are you laughing at!"

"Hey, President Zhao, why get so worked up? It's just a level 30 world boss, not worth it, not worth it at all!"

"We've suffered casualties and haven't gained anything. These bandits are incredibly audacious to provoke us like this; they're courting death!"

"We eight guilds will definitely avenge this, otherwise how can we save face? But this has also taught us a lesson."

"What class?"

Dao Youming patted Zhao Yingxiong on the shoulder.

Never underestimate your enemy.

Zhao Yingxiong recalled the previous BOSS battle.

When the bandits rode in on a large group of monsters, he told the people in the battle group not to pay attention to the bandits, as they were too low-level to pose a threat.

Looking back now, it's truly ironic.

If a portion of the team that was waiting to fight and preparing for the BOSS had been spared to wipe out the bandits, the outcome might have been different.

The guild leader of Steelheart Guild, one of the eight major guilds, is a 35-year-old mature woman named Sun Wenxiang.

"Let's go back to Yunshan City! Take this opportunity to go to the police station and reclaim our law enforcement authority!"

Dao Youming laughed again, "Excellent! Chairman Sun is indeed wise. In this way, this misfortune may actually be a blessing in disguise!"

The members of the eight major guilds also left.

Many other professionals are still wandering around at the bottom, thinking that some bandits have fallen to their deaths and gone unnoticed, hoping to pick up some of the escaped criminals.

From this moment on, online discussions about bandits once again erupted.

Various posts and blog articles have emerged one after another.

Shocking! Eight major guilds have failed; the world boss has been stolen by them!

The Wilderness Boss Dies a Tragic Death at Stormy Cliffs—The Killer is...!

Brave! Tragic! Bandits challenge eight major guilds, trading death for a draw!

The Swan Song of the Night Knight, the Bandits' Final Battle!

These posts and discussions are a mix of truth and falsehood.

Although some of the reports reflect the true situation, most of them are misleading or based on misinformation, leading to deviations from the intended message.

Some of them even describe the bandits as a group of highly skilled martial artists, with vivid and detailed descriptions.

However, discussions about bandits are almost always positive.

Yunshan City has suffered from powerful forces for too long!

The four major families that disregard regulations.

The eight major guilds that monopolize professional resources.

The people of Yunshan City dared not speak out against their anger.

Today, a group of people whose identities and ranks are unknown did what everyone else wanted to do but dared not.

Although it was just stealing a BOSS.

But everyone felt that this was a slap in the face to the eight major guilds.

And the blows were very loud and satisfying!

They even went so far as to target their backers, the four major families!

The final cliff jump, in particular, was hailed by many netizens as a legendary move!

Even if I die, you won't get the BOSS reward!

It has a bit of the flavor of Xiang Yu committing suicide.

"Are all the bandits dead? Are there any still alive? Are there any brothers who were in the bandits? Come out and say something!"

"I declare! From now on, Ma Jie is my idol! He's so cool!"

"This world needs a group of people like this to give those who abuse their power a wake-up call!"

"How do I join the bandits? I want a 'One of Bamboo' headgear."

"Is the bandit leader still alive? Are they still recruiting? I can join the organization for free!"

"Free? I'd pay you to take it!!"

While various circles in Yunshan City were buzzing with discussions about the bandits.

Song Guazheng and his clones were holding an organizational meeting in an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs.

Electricity and water have been connected here.

It was already night, and only one of the warehouse lights was on, illuminating just one corner.

There are two coffins here.

Inside were two people who were killed remotely by members of the eight major guilds before their retreat, and who didn't have time to self-destruct.

"In this battle, we lost five brothers and were wounded twenty-seven. Fortunately, none of the injuries were serious and they were fine even without going to the hospital."

Let us observe three seconds of silence for our fallen brothers.

Song Gua bowed deeply, his face filled with grief.

Three seconds later.

Brother Huo set the two coffins on fire in the blink of an eye, burning them to ashes.

Song Gua turned around with a happy expression.

"Brothers, let's show off the loot we got from the boss!"
