A subtle change flashed in Su Nan’s eyes.
He didn’t expect Zhou Cheng to have already arrived in Tianyun City and even took the initiative to find him.
After a brief thought, he understood, Zhou Cheng must have received the task to guard the Golden Rosy Clouds Tower.
Beside Zhou Cheng, there was a player in their early 20s, dressed in a black robe with a cold expression.
Zhou Cheng smiled and said, “I’ve heard of Brother Zhang Yang for a long time, it’s finally nice to meet you in person today.”
“You are… Zhou Cheng?” Su Nan pretended to be very surprised.
Zhou Cheng nodded: “It’s me.”
Immediately after, he looked at the black-robed youth next to him and introduced: “This is Lin Hao, ranked 31st on the Realm Rankings.”
“This is Meng Feng, previously ranked 83rd; they are both members of my Deification Guild.”
When introducing Meng Feng, Zhou Cheng used the word “previously” but didn’t mention his current ranking.
Clearly, he didn’t want Su Nan to underestimate Meng Feng.
Su Nan glanced at the two, feeling a little surprised.
He remembered that Meng Feng was not a member of the Deification Guild, but was now one.
“What’s the reason you’ve come to find me?”
Zhou Cheng straightforwardly said: “I wonder if Brother Zhang encountered the wolf demon who can snatch qi luck in Sky Wolf Valley last time?”
“Wolf Demon?”
Su Nan’s face remained unchanged, but his heart suddenly understood that the three of them came to find him to deal with the Wolf Demon he had transformed.
Looking at Meng Feng, he knew that Meng Feng had joined the Deification Guild just to deal with the transformed Wolf Demon.
“Are you referring to the Wolf Demon on the forum who killed many players in Sky Wolf Valley?”
“That’s right, it’s him.” Zhou Cheng nodded.
“No, although I went to White Water Town last time, I was chased by a peak Spirit-level demon later, as you should know. When I went back to Sky Wolf Valley, there was nothing left.”
“Sadly, I made a wasted trip last time.” Su Nan shook his head.
“You didn’t?” Zhou Cheng was somewhat disappointed.
He thought that if Su Nan had encountered the Wolf Demon, the Wolf Demon would have definitely chased him.
In that case, the possibility of involving Su Nan in dealing with the Wolf Demon this time would be even greater.
Zhou Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Brother Zhang, do you know that the Wolf Demon has also come to Tianyun City? In the past two days, he has killed many players. Just two hours ago, more than 30 players were killed.” “Brother Zhang, as the head of the Demon Hunting Bureau, are you just going to sit idly by and let that Wolf Demon run wild?”
Su Nan frowned, deliberately asking: “What do you mean, you want me to deal with that Wolf Demon?”
“Exactly, we’d like to invite Brother Zhang to hunt down that Wolf Demon!”
“Most of the players from my Deification Guild have arrived in Tianyun City. Apart from the three of us, there are 12 other players in my guild who rank in the top 100!”
Zhou Cheng said this with proud eyes.
In his opinion, although Su Nan was the head of the Demon Hunting Bureau, his status at the Dianxing Sect still fell slightly short.
Furthermore, Su Nan’s rank as the third player held no threat to him; as long as he had time, returning to the top three wouldn’t be a problem!
At present, as a Spirit Level player, and ranking right below Qian Yu at fifth place, he had the best proof!
Compared to these two points, his Deification Guild was even more of a source of pride.
Now, his guild ranked among the top in the entire Dongchen State, and there were many powerful players, something Su Nan couldn’t come close to.
“12 players ranked within the top 100?”
Su Nan was surprised, not expecting Zhou Cheng to gather the main strength of the entire guild for this task.
“12 players, that’s enough!”
No one noticed the subtle delight that flashed through Su Nan’s eyes.
He was previously worried about where to gather the 10 players with great luck required for Lang Thirteen’s Mainline Task, but now they had come just in time!
Su Nan didn’t even have to think about it and directly said: “I’ve heard that the demon is very powerful, and once killed, our luck will be taken away, greatly reducing our strength. I don’t want to take that risk.”
What a joke, asking him to deal with himself?
Hearing this, Zhou Cheng’s face darkened slightly.
Su Nan could mobilize the power of the Demon Hunting Bureau and was rumored to have the means to kill peak Spirit-level demons, which was why he had come to invite Su Nan.
He originally thought that with his personal invitation, the other party would definitely give him face.
But the current situation was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Meng Feng was equally secretly angry, as he had suggested bringing Su Nan in to deal with the Wolf Demon.
At this moment, Su Nan’s relentless refusal was undoubtedly a slap in his face.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Cheng continued: “Brother Zhang, you must have received the task to guard Martial King Temple. You should be aware that during that time, most of the Spirit-level demons will attack both array nodes.”
“If the Wolf Demon attacked during that process, it would be an absolute disaster for both of us.”
Zhou Cheng changed his approach, trying to change Su Nan’s stubbornness with the Branch Task.
“You don’t have to worry about that,” Su Nan remained unmoved, showing no intention of agreeing.
Seeing this, Zhou Cheng’s heart was filled with concealed anger, but his face did not reveal his feelings. Instead, he said: “Since Brother Zhang has no intention of taking action, then we will not bother you any further. Farewell.”
Zhou Cheng held back his displeasure and left with Meng Feng.
After leaving the Demon Hunting Bureau, Meng Feng could no longer suppress his anger, exclaiming without any restraint:
“Hmph, he’s clearly powerful but afraid of death. What kind of third-ranked player is he? Nothing special!”
“It would be best if that Wolf Demon attacked Martial King Temple the day after tomorrow, I want to see what he can come up with to defend it. If he gets killed by the Wolf Demon, even better..”‘
