Chapter 655: A Gradual Threat
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The news that Abyss Tower, one of the largest sects in Wind and Rain Alliance, was destroyed soon spread through the world of martial artists. During that period of time, all the other sect masters in Wind and Rain Alliance chose to log off.
When Chivalry Sect was about to make their way into Abyss Tower, the Wind and Rain Alliance members logged off en ma.s.se for one hour, and Abyss Tower was instantly destroyed by the flames of war.
When the Wind and Rain Alliance members logged in again, Chivalry Sect had already cleaned up the battlefield and left in a hurry. Only ruins were left of Abyss Tower’s headquarters.
Soon, the news of Abyss Tower branches being destroyed one after another came.
The other sect masters of Wind and Rain Alliance instantly felt a chill that seeped through their bones!
Chivalry Sect and Mu Clan exterminated Abyss Tower as quickly as they could! They did not intend to give Xie Yi the slightest chance to catch his breath, or rather, they did everything they could to make an example of Abyss Tower.
On that day, more than thirty thousand Abyss Tower members became people unaffiliated to any sect.
There was also a major piece of news from the coastal area that shocked the world of martial artists.
Happy had gone to Towering Palace’s headquarters alone. Negotiations failed with Clear Music, and he killed more than one hundred Towering Palace members, defeated Clear Music and Grim Green, and declared war on Towering Palace as an official representative of Mu Clan! They would enter the coastal area within the next few days and break Towering Palace’s domination over the coastal area.
When countless sects received wind of this, storms gathered in the game!
Many people began guessing that Chivalry Sect and Mu Clan’s cooperation as well as their crus.h.i.+ng oppression of Wind and Rain Alliance as well as Towering Palace were due to Happy.
What shocked the people the most was that he had officially joined Mu Clan right in front of everyone’s eyes and took over the position as second clan master. The words he said in Towering Palace caused many of the sects and elites, including Cla.s.s One Hall, to sense that Happy had finally chosen to become serious.
Dream Clouds quickly gathered multiple higher-ups with a dark expression in Cla.s.s One Hall’s headquarters in Beijing.
“Three Dragons Guild was unable to accomplish anything, but they’re great at destroying our plans.”
Monk with Thick Eyebrows slapped the table in anger. “And they even bragged that they could easily kill Mu Clan’s raid party in Sky Demon Secret Cave with their a.s.sa.s.sination. That’s the only reason why we agreed to work together with them, but who would have known that they wouldn’t even manage to kill a single person of that raid party? Instead, most of their people died in that attack! What a bunch of useless tras.h.!.+”
“We’ll ignore that group of trash from Three Dragons Guild from now on. What’s most important is that Towering Palace and Wind and Rain Alliance are suppressed at the same time. Abyss Tower is already destroyed, and the other sect masters are definitely displeased with Brother Xie.
“There’s also Night Rain Follows Wind controlling the situation from above, since he’s the real alliance master. I think that it’s only a matter of time before Abyss Tower falls. At that time, Wind and Rain Alliance will not accommodate Xie Yi.”
Evil Wolf’s words made a few elders at the table nod repeatedly.
“That’s right. We might have asked Xie Yi to take action a little too early.”
“It’s not our fault.” Dream Clouds had sat in the same position for a long time, and it was only at that moment that she shook her head and spoke. Her pleasant voice was fused with a faint hint of graveness. “Happy had probably been on guard for this since a long time ago, or else, the conflict and contest of strength between Chivalry Sect and Wind and Rain Alliance would not have attracted Mu Clan’s attention.”
The group fell silent. They thought about it and nodded.
They had been thinking of creating a gradual threat right under Happy’s nose.
They wanted to use the moles in both factions to create trouble, so the conflict between Wind and Rain Alliance and Chivalry Sect would gradually deepen, but they did not wish for a war. Chivalry Sect would always have an advantage, so logically thinking, Mu Clan should not have noticed or paid attention to this sort of situation.
But Happy stil did it!
It had to be said that Cla.s.s One Hall was rather unfortunate.
Not only did they lose most of their important pieces in Wind and Rain Alliance, they even made Chivalry Sect and Mu Clan become on guard before their plans came to fruition.
Also, Three Dragons Guild’s a.s.sa.s.sination attempt was supposed to make Mu Clan cast their eyes on Daiei. After all, the news of Happy killing one of their players in Spirit Snake Island had circulated in j.a.pan for some time.
Dream Clouds’ plans were to have Happy cast his attention on that side.
It was another plan to build a gradual threat.
Cla.s.s One Hall wanted Mu Clan to turn their attention to the foreign powers, then use the power of those foreign powers to slowly fight against Happy!
But Happy did not fall for it.
Not only did he use the chance to go up to Towering Palace, he even declared war publicly and dragged Wind and Rain Alliance as well as Cla.s.s One Hall into the swamp of war in one go.
Wind and Rain Alliance already lost Xie Yi, and Night Rain Follows Wind had regained the greatest authority. Naturally, he would not be used by Cla.s.s One Hall. This meant that Towering Palace was the only one who would be fighting against Mu Clan head-on.
At that moment, even if Cla.s.s One Hall joined the fray, they would be going up against Chivalry Sect and Mu Clan!
“Hall master, what should we do next?”
When Dream Clouds heard her subordinates’ question, she rubbed her forehead with a complicated expression before she slowly opened her eyes. “We’ll do nothing but watch from the sidelines!”
Clearly, Mu Clan did not just pay attention to Towering Palace, for they had included Cla.s.s One Hall into their operation, or else, Happy would not have delivered the threat saying that as long as Cla.s.s One Hall showed up, he would not mind going to Beijing to pay them a visit.
Dream Clouds did not question whether Happy would carry out the threat.
If Cla.s.s One Hall worked together with Towering Palace, the incident that happened a few months ago might repeat itself!
Cla.s.s One Hall had required a long time to recuperate before they could continue with development. They could not get another wing broken because of recklessness. At that time, there was a possibility that Cla.s.s One Hall would fall off their pedestal and lose their right to stand as one of the four pillars in China destroyed.
“Do not let any of our men move south during this period of time. Do not enter Mu Clan’s area of influence. Before Happy’s fight against One Emperor, do not provoke him.”
To the higher ups in Cla.s.s One Hall, Dream Clouds’ words meant that she was giving in a lot of consideration.
Happy’s appearance in Towering Palace had not just intimidated Towering Palace, but also Cla.s.s One Hall, which was thousands of miles away.
Blood Robes had been silent since the start. He narrowed his eyes slightly while seated near Dream Clouds and quietly clenched his fists.
“Blood Robes.” Dream Clouds’ voice traveled into his ears.
Blood Robes’ color quickly returned to normal, and he looked into Dream Clouds’ gaze.
“How is that person?”
Monk with Thick Eyebrows, Evil Wolf, and the others had curious expressions on their faces.
Blood Robes frowned and thought about it for a while before he answered in an obscure manner. “Mu Clan is very much at ease with her. She’s currently handling a lot of matters in Mu Clan, but due to her strength, she’s mostly in charge of logistics. She won’t be of much help when it comes to such matters.”
“The key is in how much she understands Happy and whether she has learned any of his weaknesses.”
“Are you saying that you want her to begin operations now, hall master?”
“No, it’s not time yet.”
Dream Clouds shook her head slowly, then suddenly asked a question that seemingly came out of nowhere.
“I heard that the girl is pretty good looking, right?”
“It seems so. I haven’t gone back in a few years. The last time I saw her, she was just an ignorant girl who didn’t know how to dress up. She was very poor, and at that time, her mother was also sick.”
“Hmm… I understand.” A thought-provoking look shone in Dream Clouds’ eyes.
