“Let Class One Hall and Chivalry Sect fight to their hearts’ content. It’ll be best if they fight against each other and get injured badly, then, we can gain the benefits—”

“Gain the benefits? Most of the people who are here have the same thoughts as you do. Towering Palace might be thinking the same as well, that’s why they only sent so few people! Do you think that there can be so many beneficiaries in the world? Later, the beneficiaries might end up fighting against each other, and we’ll just end up as a joke.”

“Towering Palace? Hmph, they might have great fame, but they don’t have enough strength. We can just ignore them.”

“Do you actually think that your sect has enough power, hmm, Iron Sword Sect?”

“At least Iron Sword Sect’s sect members are united. If we point in one direction, we will fight in that direction. Why don’t you have some people from your sect come out and spar with us, Universe Shaker Sect?”

The group behind the three great sects discussed the issue loudly in the forest which housed the entrance to Fox Cave. And with every second, the animosity between them became greater!

Most of those people were the second echelon formed by the more famous sects in World of Martial Arts. They had extraordinary abilities, and while none of them were on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranks, their overall strength was enough to be above the handful of people from Towering Palace.

Behind those sects were parties sent by normal middle-sized or small sects. Their equipment and quality was a little inferior, and they had only a few or around a dozen high-tier martial artists. However, it was enough for them to challenge Fox Cave and protect themselves while they were at it. Right then, they came only as neutral parties to watch the fun.

“Do you see that person over there?”

There were also a few veterans who had mixed into the crowd to join the raid in Fox Cave.

The person who had spoken last stood in the crowd with the air of an expert and was pointing at a person in front of the crowd. “Look at that person dressed in Yellow Dragon Archer Gear. I’m talking about the one with the gold and silver finger sleeves. He’s known as Iron Fist Universe Shaker. He’s the sect master of Universe Heaven Shaker Sect. He has already reached transcendence in his defensive moves, and I heard that he is on par with Happy. He can withstand the blows from three to four fox monsters at the same time.”

“What?! He’s that good? Is he as good as Happy?”

“Duh!” The person who spoke smiled arrogantly. Then, he said scornfully, “Did you actually think that Happy’s the only expert in the game? You must be kidding me! Let me tell you, those who can last for a long time in Fox Cave and have returned here repeatedly for an extended period of time are all great players. All of them have gained their abilities by slaughtering their way through hardships!

“Usually, they just train and farm money, keeping a low profile. If they really wanted to challenge the elites, then even if I chose at random, I could find dozens who could fight against Happy alone…”

When the speaker sensed many reverent gazes cast on him, he was afraid that the people around him would not believe him, so he raised his hand and pointed at Chivalry Sect’s camp. “You know Chivalry Sect’s vice sect masters, right? Lin Xiao is known as Chivalry Duke. He entered Mystical Realm more than twenty days ago!

“All those who have went up against his Tyrant’s Sword Technique avoid him like the plague! His Wind Spirit Spin has already maxed out, and he can tank six White Foxes without a problem. He’s ranked ninth on the Dragon Rank!”

“Six White Foxes?!”

The crowd burst into a commotion.

To the players who came to Fox Cave for the first time and the players who were out of touch with the information in the game, this news was indeed very shocking. The information immediately spread out, and it attracted more players’ attention and interest.

The speaker became very smug. He pointed at another person as if he was showing off his property. “Lin Xiao is good, right? But there’s an even more powerful person in Chivalry Sect. He’s also a vice sect master, and his name is Red Dust. His sword technique can cut through demons and deities alike!

“But once his sword is combined with its sheath, his damage will increase several times! Not a single person will remain alive within a circular area of sixteen feet. He can slaughter his way in and out of leashes of White Foxes without any problem!

“I heard from some insiders in Chivalry Sect that Red Dust comes from Shaolin Temple, and he has become the successor of Sweeper Monk, who is in charge of maintaining the library of Shaolin Temple.”

The listeners were so shocked by this astonishing news that they cried out in surprise!

Sweeper Monk was known as the greatest monk in Shaolin Temple. Even though his name was not known, his abilities and his knowledge of Buddhism dharma was far above that of the abbot and leaders of Shaolin Temple. However, his techniques were so mysterious that no one had ever come to know of them.

“He’s actually the successor of Sweeper Monk?”

“It’s an ultimate technique! Why don’t I have such good luck… AAAAHHHH! I’m so angry!”

The crowd burst into a commotion.

“Who else is good?”

“Bro, do you have anymore secrets? Tell us more and increase our knowledge.”

“Heh heh.”

The person who had been revealing information left, right, and center swung his arms arrogantly.

“There are far too many of them. Look, there’s Warring Souls Palace’s Hall Chief Yin. Even though he isn’t ranked on Dragon Rank, his Stormy Shadowless Kick isn’t that much weaker than Happy’s. I heard that the gloves he equipped is a supreme grade masterpiece. It increases attack speed by 30%. is attacks are both fast and heavy. Those who are under Mystical Realm are not be able to withstand his blows.

“There’s also Phantom Sword Disciple, from Ward Ghost Sect. He claims to have graduated after mastering Phantom Sword, and he created a sword technique specifically for killing. It fused the profundity of fist techniques and sword techniques. I heard that he has quite good reviews, since there are quite a few Mystical Realm players who have died in his hands.

“This is Fox Cave, and there are quite a few people who have became famous because of Heaven’s Illusory Claw. The one with the highest realm in that martial art is Beer Belly from Billion Sieve Sect. With his Phantasm Body Movement Skill, he once managed to retreat with all of his parts intact even when he was surrounded by a few Mystical Realm players. He’s even more difficult to handle than White Foxes.”

The speaker spoke as if he was an ocean and his words were waves coming onto a shore. It made some observant people who originally had derisive and mocking expressions to lose them.

At that moment, someone from within the crowd shouted loudly.

“Fox Cave is open!”

Boom!

Countless players’ attention was instantly attracted to the center of the forest, and they saw a white ray of light descend from the moon in the sky. The people who witnessed it for the first time were incredibly nervous. They held their breaths and waited for the moment to arrive.

The people from Class One Hall, Towering Palace, and Chivalry Sect did not move. They did not bother about the gradually forming entrance to Fox Cave.

Lin Xiao laughed loudly and took a few steps forward. His loud voice traveled clearly into the ears of the other two great sects. “Everyone, you’re guests who came from a distant land. Do you want to head in first?”

Dream Clouds stood among the people from Class One Hall with a silver veil covering her eyes. She did not go forward to answer. However, a man with a gentle smile walked out.

“When in Rome, we will do as the Romans do. This is your territory. We came later, so we will not overstep our boundaries. My brothers from Chivalry Sect, please enter!”

A woman dressed in white and who had a cold expression walked out of Towering Palace’s formation.

“I heard that we have to follow rules when we enter Fox Cave. We’ll just watch at the back and learn. Alright, Vice Sect Master Lin, please lead the way!”

“If that’s the case, we will respect you by obeying your request!”

Lin Xiao did not waste anymore time for idle chatter. The people from Chivalry Sect activated their qi realms, and the forest buzzed and swayed as if there was a powerful gust blowing past it. There were many Mystical Realm players among them! Quite a number of people’s expressions changed. They could sense how great was Chivalry Sect’s power.

Chivalry Sect’s speed of entering Fox Cave was very slow.

It almost looked like they were deliberately stalling for time.

They spent five minutes to enter the place.

Towering Palace and Class One Hall seemed to be prepared for this. Their expressions remained the same, and they were incredibly calm!

Then, when the final person entered, the man with the handsome face and magnanimous attitude made an invitation to the people of Towering Palace. “Since you have fewer people joining the raid this time, please, go on ahead!”

“Thank you.”

The people from Towering Palace did not put on any pretences. The woman with the cold expression thanked him, then led her party into Fox Cave. In less than half a minute, all of them went inside.

The pupils of a man with a plain face in the crowd shrank a little.

It was finally Class One Hall’s turn!

A cold glare flashed in the man’s eyes.
