Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

"Eh, unexpected guests have arrived again."

This time, the life sources that had intruded into Zi Liyuan's probing range numbered only thirty-eight, but compared to those scattered throughout the forest, this small team was far more powerful.

Among them were five Fourth Order beings, with the remaining thirty-three all being Third Order powerhouses.

"They're all here for the Necro Realm, so it's normal for the location's details to leak out. Back when we first entered the Secret Realm, there weren't a few life-profession practitioners just like our four sisters."

Fan Yuer briefly explained, her hands pressing down on a large hand that was helping her exercise her pectoral muscles.

"So, did you reveal the Necro Realm's information to the Fan Family?"

"What do you mean? It's not people from the Fan Family coming, is it?"

Fan Yuer suddenly turned around, her beautiful eyes widening as she asked in total surprise while making eye contact with Zi Liyuan.

The reason she asked was naturally because she understood Zi Liyuan wouldn't have mentioned this without a reason.

"That's right, I 'saw' your father-in-law, Fan Hengcheng."

Zi Liyuan raised an eyebrow, giving a confirming look.

He was well aware that Fan Yuer and her sisters were treated as tools for marriage alliances within the Fan Family.

Not to mention the Family Head and elders, even her father-in-law seemed to conform to this default status; it was clear that Fan Yuer and her sisters hadn't received much fatherly love.

Otherwise, Fan Yuer wouldn't have sought him out, asking for help to free them from the Fan Family.

When he had taken Fan Yuer and her sisters away, it had been a genuine gold-and-silver transaction with the Fan Family, equating to spending a huge sum of money to "buy" the four sisters' freedom.

Therefore, he had no good feelings towards the Fan Family and preferred not to have too much interaction with them.

"Sigh, we'll try to avoid them as much as possible, and if we can't, we don't need to pay them any attention,"

Fan Yuer took a deep breath and stated resolutely.

As for the Fan Family, since leaving with Zi Liyuan, the four sisters had no desire to return.

Of course, when it came to their mother, the four of them would regularly deposit a sum of money into their accounts for her – not much, just one hundred thousand Dragon Coins a month each.

The duty owed to their father and the clan was considered repaid; as for their mother, it was simply about providing her with money for a comfortable old age.

"Okay, as you wish."

If the Fan Family didn't provoke him, that was fine, and even after entering the Necro Realm, he wouldn't mind if they followed behind to pick up what they could. But if they dared to harm him, they couldn't blame him for not being courteous.

"Eh, this Necro Realm is lively. More people have arrived,"

Just after deciding how to handle the members of the Fan Family, he didn't expect that the edge of his Spirit's scouting range would reveal yet another large group of people.

This time, even more people had arrived at the place – a huge troop of four hundred individuals, and they were making their way over quite aggressively.

The mercenaries scattered throughout the forest had even started some conflicts with these people.

But the four hundred-strong troop was much more powerful than those mercenaries.

There were no less than ten Fourth Order powerhouses, sixty-six in the Third Order, and all the rest were Second Order professionals.

Conflicts erupted quickly and ended even quicker.

These reckless fellows didn't hesitate to strike and hurt people.

When the mercenaries' upper echelon arrived, the fight had already ended, with several members from seven or eight mercenary groups lying on the ground, all seriously injured and unable to get up.

Clearly, although the intruders were overbearing, they hadn't gone as far as killing without a word; they had shown at least a bit of restraint.

Everyone who had come here knew what it was for, though they kept a tacit understanding among themselves.

The weaker mercenary groups had no option but to concede defeat to the superior force, and after tending to their companions, they reluctantly recalled all their personnel.

It seemed that the waiting period for the Necro Realm to open would not allow for continued resource gathering.

As for giving up on entering the Secret Realm, that was out of the question!

They had rushed in last year and, despite some hasty decisions and losing many mercenaries, they had reaped immense benefits, even more than from the nearby basin.

So, this year they had prepared earlier, arriving here ahead of time to collect resources while waiting for the Necro Realm to open.

But the appearance of this four hundred-plus member group had turned the mercenaries' leader's expression very sour.

These were people from a major family, specifically from the infamous Chen family in White Crane City!

That was one of the reasons they didn't dare to retaliate; being outmatched was one thing, but the massive power of the other side was another.

If the Chen family targeted them, their mercenary group might get blacklisted in White Crane City, so they had no choice but to swallow their anger and keep a low profile.

"Small and medium-sized mercenary groups don't really stand a chance against the oppression of large clans,"

Zi Liyuan shook his head after watching the scene unfold, treating it as nothing more than entertainment.

After all, these people had nothing to do with him, and he had no reason to get involved with them.

"Let's go, find a quiet place with a nice view to set up camp, rest comfortably for a few days, and wait for the Necro Realm to open."

"Wait a minute!"

As he was about to give orders, patting Daris who was floating in the air, Fan Yuer suddenly spoke up to halt him.

"The troop that barged in seems to be from the Chen family,"

Fan Yuer narrowed her beautiful eyes, an inexplicable chill emanating from her.

"The Chen family? What Chen family? Do you know them?"

Zi Liyuan was curious about Fan Yuer's reaction and casually asked.

"Hmph! It's that Chen family whose lecherous elder wanted to take the four of us sisters as his concubines,"

If it weren't for the widespread knowledge of the Chen family elder's lecherous reputation and his history of going back on his word,
