Chapter 68
Innocence

After the successful subjugation of five bosses, coupled with the wild monsters vanquished by various guilds, the world's purification level reached 60%!

At the very heart of the Shattered Heavenly Kingdom dungeon lies the ancient empire's royal city.

Though the city is now in ruins, remnants of its past grandeur and magnificence can still be discerned.

Before the royal city, countless teams have gathered, awaiting the awakening of Empress Angelina.

Following the subjugation of the five bosses, Empress Angelina will awaken in the royal city.

And after defeating Empress Angelina, the final boss, Void General Karok, will appear.

The last two arduous battles will both take place within the royal city.

............

Before the royal city, Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back.

Behind him, a host of guild masters and team leaders looked at him with an air of complete conviction.

Though it was only a matter of three days, they had already been thoroughly convinced by this mysterious young man!

For reasons unknown, they simply felt that Ye Xuan possessed a leadership aura that compelled them to submit!

"Qin Xian....."

Ye Xuan glanced at the leaderboard, seeing himself ranked first with 7 Void Crystal Cores, a confident smile flitting across his face.

These five bosses had dropped a total of 50 Void Crystal Cores.

Ye Xuan possessed 10 Void Crystal Cores, putting him on par with Chu Jun Biao, the eldest daughter of the Chu family, for first place!

The reason he had stepped forward, taking the risk of revealing his identity to become the top player on the leaderboard, wasn't simply for the support of various small and medium-sized forces, uniting all powers.

There was a more important reason!

He wanted to target Qin Xian!

Since the first boss, Qin Xian had not appeared. He had missed five bosses and didn't have a single Void Crystal Core on him.

Without Void Crystal Cores, he wouldn't be able to enter the Ancient Temple to receive blessings from the Ancient Gods.

Ye Xuan didn't believe that Qin Xian would willingly forgo such blessings.

That left only one possibility.

Qin Xian was planning to directly steal Void Crystal Cores from other teams!

That's why he hadn't shown his face yet, waiting until the end to emerge and snatch the Void Crystal Cores, allowing him to enter the Temple to receive blessings!

In normal circumstances, these guild teams would have been fighting independently, even becoming hostile with each other over boss subjugation.

The Qin family would have easily broken them one by one!

But now, these guild teams have become a united front, incredibly cohesive.

Though Qin Xian had an elite team of 39 professionals under his command, Ye Xuan didn't believe that the Qin family alone could withstand the combined might of dozens, perhaps even hundreds of teams!

Thinking about this, a sense of satisfaction surged through Ye Xuan's heart!

...........

Just then, someone exclaimed, "The Qin family is here!"

Everyone turned to see Qin Xian, leading a group of Qin family powerhouses, appearing before the royal city plaza.

Upon seeing Qin Xian emerge, various scions of prominent families and students from the Imperial Capital Academy immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.

"Young Master Qin!"

Upon seeing Qin Xian, Ye Xuan clenched his fists, his heart filled with anticipation.

He was eager to witness the look on Qin Xian's face when he realized that most of the guild teams had united and he couldn't steal their Void Crystal Cores.

How interesting his expression would be.....

Even if Qin Xian subjugated the last two bosses, he wouldn't have many Void Crystal Cores, and the blessings he received would be the lowest-grade....

Qin Xian remained impassive, noticing that numerous guild teams now stood together, appearing as if they were part of the same force!

He also saw the spirited Ye Xuan.

The two young men stood face to face, their eyes meeting.

They were similar, both surrounded by supporters, basking in the limelight.

Yet they were vastly different.

Around Ye Xuan were small and medium-sized guild members, along with ordinary individuals.

Surrounding Qin Xian were scions of prominent families and clans.

They seemed to represent two distinct social strata.....

Qin Xian stared emotionlessly at the guild masters and team leaders standing beside Ye Xuan, appearing as one united family.

He had to admit that he was somewhat surprised.

In just three days, this young man named Ye Xuan had managed to unite so many guild teams.

Stealing Void Crystal Cores from them would be quite challenging....

Qin Xian looked at Ye Xuan, who still wore that charming, whimsical smile.

As if everything was under his control.

Qin Xian chuckled, a hint of sarcasm in his smile.

This Ye Xuan was truly naive.

Some matters were not as simple as they seemed.

Take this dungeon, for instance. Ultimately, it all boils down to the real world outside the dungeon.....

Would these so-called guild masters really dare to defy the will of this Qin family scion?

Qin Xian addressed the guild masters standing beside Ye Xuan with a slight smile, "Each of you can keep one Void Crystal Core."

Ye Xuan scoffed, finding Qin Xian's arrogance boundless.

Even bordering on stupidity!

Did he really think the Qin family could rule the dungeon with an iron fist!?

But soon, one guild master beside Ye Xuan hesitated, his expression fluctuating. He gritted his teeth and stepped forward, respectfully offering two Void Crystal Cores.....

One after another, more guild masters stepped forward, handing over their Void Crystal Cores without a fuss.

One minute later, the leaderboard updated.

First place: Qin Xian, with....... 21 Void Crystal Cores!
