Daoist Li is dead, killed by Helena's blade.

Although he was also a Sequence Three expert, he had left the Hunter profession for many years and had neglected his training.

Plus, Helena bore five engravings, while Daoist Li only had four.

With a complete disadvantage in combat skills, combat awareness, absolute power, and equipment, Daoist Li was simply no match for Helena.

After cutting down Daoist Li with a single strike, Helena regained her composure.

Helena had previously suffered a near-fatal injury and narrowly escaped death, leaving her with a tendency for her emotions to become extreme, leading to her body modifications and lust.

Ordinarily, she could control herself, but when her engravings were activated, her emotions would become unpredictable.

Taking a deep breath, Helena turned to look at Yan Luo, whom she had shielded behind her, and gave him a once-over, "Are you okay?"

Yan Luo shook his head, "I'm fine."

"As long as you're okay..." Helena sighed in relief.

Neither of them paid attention to Daoist Li's death because he deserved it.

The surveillance cameras in the guild hall had already recorded Helena killing Daoist Li, and even if someone wanted to hold her accountable later, Helena could use this footage to exonerate herself.

If Daoist Li had not died, Yan Luo would have been the one to die, and Helena had acted in justifiable self-defense, deserving praise instead.

"However, little brother, you owe your sister a favor now." Helena squinted and smiled, her gaze sweeping over Yan Luo, leaning close with a seductive look, "Tell me, how do you plan to repay your sister?"

Yan Luo thought for a moment and said, "I have intelligence on several City-breaking Level Demons."

Tsk!

Helena pursed her lips; truth be told, she didn't really want to accept Yan Luo's repayment like this and wanted him to repay her with his own body.

But as the leader of a warband, Helena had to consider her team's interests.

The intelligence on several City-breaking Level Demons, if accurate, was indeed enough to repay the life-saving favor.

Yan Luo privately messaged Helena the whereabouts of the City-breaking Level Demons he knew about and waved her goodbye.

Only then did people react, realizing that Daoist Li had been killed by Helena.

"Holy crap!!"

People exclaimed in shock.

Just moments ago, they were watching the entire trial of Daoist Li on the online courtroom, and in the blink of an eye, Daoist Li was dead.

Yan Luo left the Hunter's Guild under gazes of both reverence and fear, as everyone who witnessed that trial realized Yan Luo was a madman, never letting go of a grudge.

Recently, it had been rumored in the guild that Yan Luo's Tenglong II model was obtained from Daoist Li; now it seems the truth was indeed so.

Yan Luo must have made a deal with the higher-ups of the guild to participate in the Hunter Skill Competition. The City-breaking Level mutated creatures that appeared during the competition should have been dealt with by the upper levels of the guild, yet they did not act, and in the end, Yan Luo resolved the mutated creature himself.

If Yan Luo had made even a small mistake during the hunt for the giant wild bull, he would have died without a trace.

From that moment on, Yan Luo bore a grudge against the higher-ups of the Hunter's Guild.

However, the higher-ups of the Hunter's Guild clearly did not take this seriously; they underestimated Yan Luo.

As a result, Daoist Li died, and the Spiritual Spring Li Family would soon be in ruins.

It was terrifying... truly terrifying!

Sitting in a driverless taxi, Yan Luo contacted Luciano Fields, the person in charge of the Scarlet No.2 from the Fields Clan.

"Daoist Li is dead, and the Li Family will probably be handling their assets urgently. Keep an eye on it; don't let the Li Family get too much money," Yan Luo said coldly.

Luciano Fields' image was projected onto the visor in front of Yan Luo, and he gave Yan Luo a bright smile, making an 'OK' gesture, "Don't worry, we know what to do."

The Fields Clan was now the strongest force besides the Li Family in Scarlet No.2, having invested a lot of money here.

After the Li Family's decline, the Fields Clan should quickly occupy the ecological position previously held by the Li Family.

Yan Luo ended the communication with Luciano and sent a message to the three battle group leaders who helped him impeach Daoist Li: [Three leaders, you need to discuss amongst yourselves who will take over Daoist Li's position next.]

Although the Fields Clan would occupy the Li Family's ecological position, Yan Luo had no intention of letting them off easily.

Previously, the Fields Clan tried to attract Hunters from Scarlet No.1 to compete for status, an act Yan Luo had not forgotten. They were no different from the Li Family.

If the Fields Clan learned from the Li Family and pushed their people to become the president of the Scarlet No.2 Guild, the situation would remain unchanged, and the Fields Clan might conduct themselves even more secretly.

The Hunter's Guild headquarters couldn't directly appoint someone to the guild president position. Typically, the president of the Hunter's Guild in an exploration town was a local hunter.

[Enough said, I don't want to be the president, but I want to vote for Ah Chuan—Wu Zechuan, you should know him, right?]

Chen Shan added Yan Luo and the other two battle group leaders to a temporary group chat and shared his thoughts.

The Mountain and River Warband had two leaders, one of whom was Chen Shan, and the other was Wu Zechuan, who had previously invited Yan Luo to join the warband.

Both leaders had seven engravings and were just a step away from the Second Rank, considered strong experts.

Hearing Chen Shan mention Wu Zechuan, You Yifeng, and Helena joined the conversation.

Helena said: [Wu Zechuan? That kid is indeed formidable and smart. I've hunted with him before, and he's reliable. It's a good choice to let him be the president.]

You Yifeng said: [Looks like none of us want to be the president!]

The three battle group leaders expressed their reluctance to become the Hunter's Guild president.

They were all still in their rising phase, hoping to reach the Second Rank. Becoming president would require staying in Scarlet No.2, handling administrative matters, and leaving little opportunity for Abyss hunting.

Without hunting demons, their engravings would struggle to grow, and they wouldn't be able to strengthen.

Unless, like those actors in the Hunter Skill Competition, they forced their engravings to grow using Magic Crystals.

However, with the current strength of the three leaders, the amount of Magic Crystal needed to grow even a little was immense, and even draining a rich man from Celestial City dry wouldn't be enough to complete the growth of one of their engravings.

Yan Luo quietly typed: [It doesn't matter who becomes president, as long as we can secure the position before the Fields Clan completely occupies the Li Family's current ecological position. Otherwise, if the Fields Clan finds an opportunity to push their people into that position, Scarlet No.2 will remain as it is, or even worse, the Fields Clan will operate more covertly.]

[Enough talk, let's choose Ah Chuan. I'll send a message for him to come back now!]

Chen Shan, a man of action, immediately sent a message to Wu Zechuan.

Wu Zechuan happened to be resting, not in the Abyss.

He saw the message from Chen Shan, curiously opened it, and the content made his eyes widen in shock.

"What, what is this?"

Daoist Li has been impeached, the Spiritual Spring Li Family is finished, Daoist Li is dead, and he needs to return to Scarlet No.2 to become the guild president...

A string of information was pumped into his brain, leaving Wu Zechuan bewildered.

What a mess! What a mess!

Wu Zechuan's brain was unable to process the complex information he received, and he remained stunned for quite a while, not even noticing Chen Shan's subsequent urging messages.

After a while, Wu Zechuan came back to his senses.

He then frowned.

"President..." Wu Zechuan muttered softly.

His seventh engraving had already completed its growth, but the issue now lay with the eighth engraving. Chen Shan knew this, which is why he suggested Wu become president.

Engravings weren't just completed randomly, and Wu Zechuan wasn't sure if he could complete the eighth engraving in his lifetime.

Since that's the case, being the president might not be a bad choice.
