Chapter 646: Three Dragons Guild
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
All the assassins who were killed were verified to be Japanese players. Even though they had no guild emblems, Wind Chimes still managed to track them down through divination and link them to a guild.
It was a rather famous guild in Daiei, Three Dragons Guild!
At that moment, it shared a very close relationship with Towering Palace.
*****
Rampaging Dragon soon uploaded the matter of being ambushed in Sky Demon Sect on the official website. His post received more than one million clicks and views within a short period of time.
That was because it was the first time Mu Clan was ambushed by an organization with a planned attack ever since they became a top-class sect and dominated China, and their opponent seemed to be a foreign guild as well.
The news soon spread through the game, and the players found that the foreign guild seemed to be linked to Towering Palace, which was one of the top-class sects in China. This instantly shocked the whole World of Martial Arts, and it quickly attracted the attention of various factions of power. The normal players did not ignore it either!
When Rampaging Dragon listed out the names of the assassins who died as well as everything else related to them, everyone watched Mu Clan and Towering Palace to see how Mu Clan would handle the matter.
After all, Towering Palace had become much stronger than before. They had a close relationship with many factions from other countries, and their position in the coastal areas was something that no one could hope to touch.
But Mu Clan was still the strongest in China. Not only did they have the largest number of top-class players, they also had the person who was known as the strongest in the world as the leader in the shadows.
Countless people began to make guesses and wondered whether Mu Clan would use force to exact vengeance on Towering Palace.
Of course, there were quite a number of people who protested and said that it was unfair to Clear Music. They said that Towering Palace could not control the actions of the foreign powers, and the assassination should have nothing to do with them.
However, the next day after Rampaging Dragon uploaded the battle replay, Mu Clan only announced that they will hunt down and kill all members of Three Dragons Guild. There were no more declarations or announcements, and Towering Palace did not give any sort of response.
But Happy, Silver, and the others, including Towering Palace’s master Clear Music, vanished from the diviners’ sights. They were in a state where they could not be found.
Also, Mu Clan set up a class one defense in various places in the south. They searched for anyone they might have missed and began to frequently mobilize their men from the branches, which made the cities enter a state of great alarm.
The strange atmosphere made the entire world of martial artists to descend into a calm before the impending storm!
*****
When Mu Clan and Towering Palace swept the world of martial artists into a state of unrest, the conflict between Chivalry Sect and Wind and Rain Alliance finally worsened slightly.
*****
Yangzhou was a famous city in China. Its scenery and culture were very interesting, and quite a number of people who traveled there took pictures, strolled about, admired the lake, or just the scenery around them.
However, ten minutes ago, the atmosphere in this place became tense and stiff.
Thud, thud, thud, thud!
An endless stream of martial artists who rode on quick horses came forward. Every single one of their faces was as dark as the storm as if something major was about to happen.
*****
The area outside the headquarters of Abyss Tower was surrounded by people!
There were archers, shieldbearers, and other members dressed in all sorts of attire. They surrounded the headquarters to the point that not a single drop of water could escape.
That was not all. Ever since they received news some time ago that Lin Xiao had personally mobilized a large group of Chivalry Sect members to close in on Yangzhou, the streets and restaurants were filled with many members from nearby sects that belonged to Wind and Rain Alliance. The entire city was basically filled with soldiers. The atmosphere was frozen, which was something usually seen before a place went to war.
Everyone’s faces were filled with nervousness and excitement!
The large-scale battle that was about to erupt had never happened in the game before!
As the rapid sounds of horse hooves drew closer, Xie Yi, the tower master of Abyss Tower, stood outside the headquarters while accompanied by a few other sect masters.
Three people quickly arrived near Xie Yi through a path cleared out by the crowd.
“What’s the situation?”
“Tower master, the people from Chivalry Sect are bound for the lake outside Yangzhou. They’re just one mile away from the city.”
“How many people came?”
“We didn’t dare to get too close, but they do have a lot of people. When we looked over, all we could see were their people!” The trio panted while trying to get the words out.
The expressions of Xie Yi and the sect masters beside him darkened.
“Xie Yi, you blew things out of proportion this time!”
“That’s right, you said that Chivalry Sect will definitely not declare war against us, that’s why we decided to work with you and continuously applied pressure on Chivalry Sect. But look at what’s happening now! Just look!
“Chivalry Sect decided to mobilize all their forces from around ten branches in the area, and they have more than twenty thousand people with them. If we fight, Chivalry Sect might not have a great upper hand, but our foundations will definitely be damaged. At that time, if other sects try to take advantage of this...”
“Sect masters, why are you afraid? Chivalry Sect is attacking Abyss Tower’s headquarters. I’m not afraid, so why should you? Besides, as long as we can defend this place, Wind and Rain Alliance will prove that we truly have the right to replace Chivalry Sect as the top sect!
“The timing is perfect now! Mu Clan and Towering Palace are standing in a tense confrontation, and Mu Clan doesn’t have the time to take care of Chivalry Sect. We can give them a fatal strike.” Xie Yi stopped talking for a moment, then said with smugness, “Don’t worry, I hired someone from Assassin Hall. Once Lin Xiao shows up, we’ll kill him first to destroy Chivalry Sect’s morale.”
“Someone from Assassin Hall?” The sect masters of Wind and Rain Alliance had surprised expressions. “Assassin Hall shares a close relationship with Class One Hall. Could it be?”
“Everyone, you just need to know this in your hearts.” Xie Yi lowered his voice, but a faint certainty still showed up in his eyes.
The sect masters looked at each other and nodded.
“Alright!”
“Since we have reinforcements, we’ll take a risk for you this time!”
“Great! Everyone, gather your elites here. When Chivalry Sect’s people rush into the headquarters, we’ll give them a fatal strike from behind and make them unable to go back!”
“Alright!”
The group released messenger pigeons and began making arrangements.
However, their scouts, who were supposed to send news to them once every minute, repeatedly sent word during the next twenty minutes saying that the people from Chivalry Sect stopped a mile away from the city and were still continuously amassing people. They did not show any intention to immediately take action. However, they did gather a lot of people around them.
“What’s going on?” Xie Yi frowned slightly.
Another ten or so minutes passed.
The scouts reported that the people from Chivalry Sect had basically all arrived, but Lin Xiao ordered them to rest and reorganize themselves. They did not seem to have any intention to enter Yangzhou and attack Abyss Tower’s headquarters any time soon.
“What exactly does that guy have up his sleeves?!”
The sect masters of Wind and Rain Alliance said nothing, but they became uneasy.
They had secretly mobilized many elites from their sects, but Chivalry Sect was just surrounding them and not attacking even after such a long time had passed. Were they thinking about attacking THEIR headquarters?
The uneasy atmosphere swiftly spread from Abyss Tower to the whole of Yangzhou.
The tens of thousands of people outside the city calmly set up their stations. Lin Xiao stood at the forefront of his group while holding his sword and stared to the east, as if he was waiting for something.
