Chapter 1017 - The Situation Changed



Chapter 1017: The Situation Changed

The direction of the war changed!

As the ten leaders in Beijing betrayed Phantasmal Shadow and left, the plan Phantasmal Shadow made with One Emperor and Wandering Know-it-all could no longer be carried out.

All their plans ended up in smoke.

At the same time, Phantasmal Shadow’s plan in attacking Class One Hall’s branches all over the Chinese server could not be carried out either.

But that was not the worst.

Once public opinion changed, the remaining four sects also stated their desire to leave the battle to Phantasmal Shadow one after another, because Class One Hall no longer faced any danger.

If the four of them did not show their stance soon, then what followed might be Class One Hall bearing a grudge against them, and Dream Clouds might think that they were loyal to Wind Assault Tower.

They had no other choice. The leaders of the final four sects also left the territory belonging to Class One Hall’s headquarters.

In the end, only Wind Assault Tower’s people were left in the territory of Class One Hall’s headquarters, along with some small factions of power who had volunteered to fight against Class One Hall. Their number had reduced by two-thirds its original number!

*****

“It’s over.”

“Let’s go, we can’t fight in the war anymore.”

The Class One Hall members in the crowd were incredibly smug. The people from Wind Assault Tower were also regarded with hostility by Class One Hall, Blood Alliance, Assassin Hall, and Heaven’s Music Sect.

“Tower master, the situation is bad.”

“Many people have begun to suspect our operation.”

“The people who have agreed to help us control Barren Murderer at Dragon’s Gate have all retreated!”

“We noticed Class One Hall and Blood Alliance’s people at our branches.”

Danger came one after another.

Phantasmal Shadow received an even more vicious blow by Class One Hall as revenge once the alliance completely broke down.

“Retreat! Tell everyone to immediately return to the headquarters!

“Order our members at the branches to contact the sects we are friends with and defend the branches. Do not take the initiative to attack!”

At the same time Phantasmal Shadow resolutely released various orders, her one hundred thousand people left Class One Hall’s headquarters with a loud bang.

The plan had completely failed!

*****

As the tides changed, news of Wind Assault Tower fighting against Class One Hall as well as the fourteen sects automatically leaving the sect spread out, Dragon’s Gate became the town that received the news the fastest, and they felt as if they had been delivered a great shock.

The tens of thousands of people who had been there to surround Barren Murderer and his two thousand famous elites all fled like rabbits.

The people from the various factions of power also disappeared without a trace.

When Barren Murderer and a group of people walked in the streets of Dragon’s Gate, many people looked away while feeling guilty. They did not dare look at them in the eye, because they were worried that Barren Murderer and his group would recognize that they had once shouted in support in the attacks against them.

However, Barren Murderer would not bother about these insignificant people.

Once he got out of his predicament, Barren Murderer led dozens of top-class elites to return to their peak, and they walked into a restaurant with a majestic gait.

Slap!

“Hello, Vice Hall Master Barren of Class One Hall. I am Uninjured Sword. I apologize for not being able to come out and greet you.”

One person stood up to greet him. The others did not even dare stay in the place. Under dozens of astonishing presences and fierce gazes, they got out of their seats and left.

Uninjured Sword was Uncle Sword, the leader of Head Hunters.

At that moment, he had to act obsequiously and stand beside Barren Murderer while giving him servile smiles.

Tea Words remained silent.

He sat among the people who did not leave their seats and watched Uncle Sword act in a menial, humble manner with Barren Murderer. His expression changed before it quickly returned to normal.

Even though Uncle Sword could already understand Wind Assault Tower’s situation based on the information he obtained and knew that Class One Hall’s momentum was greater than Wind Assault Tower right now, perhaps even surpassing theirs, Uncle Sword would not betray Tea Words.

This would not bring any benefit to Head Hunters and Class One Hall.

*****

“Right now, Head Hunters is very famous in the game. I heard that plenty of people call you Uncle Sword, and even Wind Assault Tower has to show you respect.”

There was the ghost of a smile on Barren Murderer’s face. Once he sat down, he went straight to the point and stated his purpose.

“That is just the people in the game giving me high praise.” Uncle Sword carefully wiped off the sweat at his forehead, and his smile was a little forced.

Barren Murderer smiled, and he stared at Uncle Sword while his lips moved.

Those who saw it knew that those two were definitely talking about certain things that they wanted no one to know.

However, they did not expect that there was a person who knew how to lip read sitting at the dark corner of the restaurant, and he could clearly read the contents of the private message.

Tea Words used a wine cup to hide his gaze and stare at the duo’s lips.

*****

[Happy, if you took any longer to come up, I would have gone mad!]

Right when he returned to the game, Happy received a letter from Tea Words while he was outside the town. Based on the words, Tea Words seemed to be incredibly anxious.

Happy quickly wrote a reply, [What is it? What happened? Did Head Hunters sell all the information about Beautiful Robes Faction to Barren Murderer?]

Very soon, a messenger pigeon flew back, and in it was a grave question from Tea Words. [How did you know? Uncle Sword sold me out.]

[Right now, Wind Assault Tower is in a perilous situation. If Head Hunters wants to protect their own status while Class One Hall is strong, then they must definitely show some sincerity, or else, with Class One Hall’s strength, they can destroy Head Hunters’ information system completely with just a flip of their hand. But it’s only natural that he did that.]

This was something Happy had already guessed Barren Murderer would do while he was outside. He knew that Barren Murderer would definitely investigate the people who released the smoke bombs in Dragon’s Gate.

However, he did not expect that Wind Assault Tower would fail in their operation so quickly and so completely. Class One Hall had even launched their counterattack at the same day of the attack.

Right now, all fourteen major sects had betrayed Wind Assault Tower and left the alliance.

Even Head Hunters and the various factions of power had either been deceived by Dream Clouds or avoided danger by willingly going along with the flow and keeping silent. The situation was incredibly urgent, and he did not have time to talk in detail with Tea Words.

[Tell me all that you know. Uncle Sword might be a slick and sly person, he should know that he should cut off all escape routes for himself. The proof that Class One Hall is working with Wild Wolves has been revealed since a long time ago, and it’s impossible for him to completely offend Wind Assault Tower.]

[That’s right. This time, he only betrayed Beautiful Robes Faction. He also told me that he only gave up a portion of our people. I’ve already told that group of people to stay in Dragon’s Gate and not to go out,] Tea Words replied.

Happy then asked. [Well, at least he’s sensible. Were you in such a hurry to tell me this?]

[Also, Barren Murderer has led his people back to Beijing, but the group of top-class elites did not go back. The people from Assassin Hall and Heaven’s Music Sect have disappeared without a trace.]

[I know where they went. Barren Murderer led his group out of Beijing to attack me, but there’s also a possibility that he’s the backup prepared to fight against Wind Assault Tower. If my guess is correct, these people will definitely split up to head to nearby cities and cause Wind Assault Tower trouble.]

[That’s terrible news.]

[Yup, it’s terrible.]

Happy and Tea Words had come to the same conclusion.

[Once Wind Assault Tower is in a precarious situation and Evil Emperor descends in the Chinese server, Class One Hall will unify the Chinese server, and Wild Wolves will officially control this place.]

[It’ll be even harder for you to take revenge, and Beautiful Robes Faction will have a much more difficult time in the game.]

[That’s why Wind Assault Tower cannot fall! Stay in Dragon’s Gate to continue being in contact with Uncle Sword. This person can still be used.] Happy’s firm words showed his resolution.

[Do you want to attack Class One Hall or help Wind Assault Tower? You must be careful! Dream Clouds has hidden herself too deeply!] When Tea Words saw how resolute Happy was, he asked.

Happy tore the letter, and instead of replying, he said, “I’m choosing both.”

*****

At the same time, Phantasmal Shadow, One Emperor, and Wind Chimes had already returned to Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion.

All four people’s expressions were stern, and there was deeply rooted worry in their eyes.

Phantasmal Shadow could not hold back from speaking, “Right now, the situation has turned incredibly grim! At the very least, we can be certain that eight sects out of the eighteen sects are forces of power Dream Clouds has fostered. Aside from the strength Class One Hall displayed, she also used Yuan Zhixiong’s pitiful ruse to deceive far too many people. Before we have concrete proof, it’s very difficult for us to summon enough people to attack Class One Hall.”

“This woman is terrifying indeed!” Wind Chimes was still a little fearful even now.

She was not just afraid of the ambush that instantly injured her severely while she was outside the headquarters, but also the scheme and the strength Dream Clouds revealed in one grand moment.

Class One Hall had shown a force that no one could hope to stand up against.

One Emperor never said anything. He just stared at Wandering Know-it-all sternly while he held his Universe Secrets Inkstone. His gaze was profound. No one knew what he was thinking about or what he was waiting for.

Wandering Know-it-all just continued using his Universe Secrets Inkstone to make readings.

This lasted for more than ten minutes, and his expression just turned grimmer.

In the end, he shrugged in front of the trio’s solemn gazes, smiled in anguish, and sighed long and hard. “What a joke. I have always believed myself to be able to read everything. I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be able to tell what is going on right under my nose.”

“Is the situation so bad?”

Wandering Know-it-all sucked in a deep breath and answered, “At least twelve Beijing sects have close connections with Dream Clouds’ higher ups, and right now, only four are relatively innocent. Once this news spreads, perhaps the remaining four won’t dare to work with us to fight against Class One Hall anymore.”

“Twelve sects in Beijing... That’s practically the same as Class One Hall controlling two-thirds of the elites in Beijing. If your reading is correct, right now, fighting against Class One Hall isn’t our main problem. Our main problem is how to protect ourselves...” Phantasmal Shadow’s expression was incredibly sour.

Wandering Know-it-all and Wind Chimes looked at each other and nodded slowly.

Phantasmal Shadow was right.

Right now, since they had proven that at least twelve Beijing sects were Dream Clouds’ supporters, the situation turned out to be even worse than they imagined.

Based on Dream Clouds’ personality, she might take the initiative to attack and deal with Wind Assault Tower beforehand. Instead of taking a defensive position, she would now be in the offensive.

One Emperor finally spoke, “Evil Emperor will only need fourteen days at most to enter the Chinese plains.”

Once he said that, Wandering Know-it-all and the other two’s expressions turned even more unpleasant.

“Right now, what we need to do is not to defend ourselves or handle Class One Hall’s attacks. If we do that, the Chinese server will end, and we’ll be just like the other countries. We’ll just end up as tools for Wild Wolves to get money.”

When he said this, an aggressive sword will surged into the sky from his body.

“Since Wind Assault Tower can no longer attack Class One Hall, I’ll use my own method to weaken Class One Hall!”

After he said that, One Emperor left Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion without turning back.

None of the trio tried to stop him.

At that moment, a messenger pigeon flapped its wings and landed in front of Wandering Know-it-all.

“That brat is finally here.”

Wandering Know-it-all released a long sigh.

At the very least, there were still two top-class elites who could pose as a threat to Class One Hall.
