Chapter 644: Towering Palace’s Shadow
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Class One Hall and Towering Palace are actually behind this!”
Once Night Rain Follows Wind left, Lin Xiao frowned in the room that was isolated from the rest of the floor by curtains . He could not describe the myriad of emotions welling in him, and he could only sigh . “Happy, who do you think is more likely to be the mastermind in this matter?”
“Both are possible . ”
The person sitting beside Lin Xiao was indeed Happy .
He slowly removed his Bamboo Hat, and he also had a scowl between his eyebrows . He seemed to be thinking about something .
Once he left Sky Demon Sect, his Nine Yang Divine Skill has been mastered . His four attributes had been greatly increased, and all of them nearly reached the astonishing height of two hundred points . His Body Movement was not that much weaker than All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s, and he even gained the concealment effect known as Returning to the Start, which made others unable to tell his qi realm .
He was able to move in and out of cities like a normal player . No one would be able to recognize him .
“This move is very wise, so it feels like something Dream Clouds would do . ” Happy thought about it for a moment more and spoke up again . “But with Class One Hall’s current strength, they shouldn’t have the courage to target Chivalry Sect . Dream Clouds would not risk offending our alliance . If she’s really the one behind this, she must have already considered the possibility that we’ll guess that it’s her . ”
“You’re right . ” Lin Xiao nodded slowly .
“If it’s Towering Palace, we can’t set aside the possibility of Clear Music wanting to expand her territory because they have been developing too quickly recently and are eager to get more control of the resources in the south . We also can’t set aside the possibility that she wants to break the stalemate before Towering Palace truly descends into a conflict of interest with us by attacking first and weakening Chivalry Sect’s strength . ”
He stopped talking for a moment before continuing in a somber tone . “Last time, Towering Palace did not need to be wary of us . There was Class One Hall limiting our actions, and we didn’t dare do anything to them . But now, Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect are developing very quickly . Even if they work together with Class One Hall, Towering Palace cannot win . ”

“But we bear no hostility . ”
“Sometimes, women suddenly have very little tolerance for things . ”
After saying those words, Happy remembered two people . One of them was Dream Clouds, and the other was Xu Yao .
The former would do everything and use everything in her disposal to achieve her goals .
As for the latter…
‘Hah…’
Happy closed his eyes and recollected himself . Then, he heard Lin Xiao’s firm voice .
“Regardless of who planned all this behind the scenes, since I already know about them, Chivalry Sect will not back down but will face the fight! Happy, don’t take any action this time . I believe that the mastermind’s goal is still you . Don’t be distracted because of this and neglect your fight against One Emperor! Chivalry Sect will be able to handle Wind and Rain Alliance . ”
Happy said nothing .
He quietly cast a glance at Lin Xiao, whose fighting spirit was burning fiercely, sighed, and said, “Big Brother Lin, calm down . Don’t be in such a hurry to make a decision . Think about this carefully .
“The moment Chivalry Sect starts to fight against Wind and Rain alliance, you’d have already fallen into the mastermind’s trap! At that time, more enemies will appear, and things will definitely progress in a direction that we won’t be able to predict . ”
Lin Xiao said nothing .
“Even though Night Rain Follows Wind made a promise to us saying that he will restrain part of the sects in Wind and Rain Alliance, we can’t be certain whether the other sects will interfere behind his back or whether there will be other moles who will instigate other forces to intervene . Perhaps the mastermind will send someone to put on a disguise to butt into this matter . All these things might happen . ”
Happy stopped talking for a while before continuing in a heavy tone . “If you truly fight against them, while it’s impossible for Wind and Rain Alliance to win, Chivalry Sect will also suffer terrible losses . At that time, how am I supposed to just stand by and watch? There is no way Mu Clan will do nothing as well . ”
His words helped Lin Xiao realize that the matter was not as simple as he thought it to be .

“Then what should I do?” Lin Xiao frowned, sucked in a breath, and said, “Because of Xie Yi’s instigations, the people in Wind and Rain Alliance have been trying to take over Chivalry Sect’s resource points every day . If this continues, Chivalry Sect will end up in a state of unrest . ”
Happy said nothing for a moment . While he pondered over this issue, a messenger pigeon flew into the restaurant and landed on his shoulder under Lin Xiao’s surprised gaze .
Happy took it without batting an eyelid and swept a glance over the letter .
“Big Brother Lin, looks like we can be certain who is taking action against Chivalry Sect now . ”
“Hmm?”
Lin Xiao was stunned . He could not help but look at the messenger pigeon in Happy’s hands .
He did not understand how the messenger pigeon that suddenly came would allow Happy to be certain of who was the real mastermind behind the attacks against Chivalry Sect .
Happy suddenly said some words that Lin Xiao could not wrap his head around . “Big Brother Lin, do you know that there is a rare fleeing technique that allows one to walk through the earth?”
“I heard about this before . I think it’s derived from Qimen Dunjia[1] . Some of the more powerful sects using this in China are at the coastal areas, and there are also some from other countries…”
“Which sect took in these people with the great fleeing techniques?”
“Is there even a need to ask? I heard that Clear Music herself is a top-class user of Qimen Dunjia . All the elites with this fleeing technique are basically under her wing . Some of the foreigners who are good with it have also become guests of honor in Towering Palace . Are you suspecting Towering Palace?”
When Happy faced Lin Xiao’s enquiring gaze, his eyes turned slightly darker, and he answered firmly, “I’m not suspecting them . I’m certain of it . ”
At the same time, he handed the letter in his hands .
Lin Xiao was stunned . He lowered his head and quickly read it .
[Rampaging Dragon and his party were ambushed at Sky Demon Sect by a group of elites who knew how to travel through earth . Wind Chimes has already read their identities . They came from the coastal areas and belong to foreign guilds . ]
Lin Xiao shuddered, and his eyes filled with anger as well as disbelief . “How dare they attack Mu Clan?! And they even attacked Sky Demon Secret Cave?! They sure are bold… This won’t do…”
Bang!
A loud bang rose . Lin Xiao slapped the table and stood up . “I’ll immediately notify the elites from the branches nearby to provide reinforcements . ”
“Don’t trouble yourself . ”
Happy’s calm expression caused Lin Xiao to calm down slightly .
“You’ve just left Sky Demon Sect, and someone already went there to pick a fight with your people . How can you sit still and be calm?”
“Don’t worry . Before I left, I made arrangements . ”
Happy’s answer forced Lin Xiao to calm down . “No wonder . ” He sighed . “But you’ve already sent Silver Wolf and Wind Chimes to other places . Thunderous Battle is in Baokang, and they’ve definitely sent elites to Sky Demon Secret Cave . ”
“Don’t worry . I have Rampaging Dragon and a few other people serving as garrison over there . There won’t be any danger . ”
Happy smiled faintly while remaining calm . “The people from Towering Palace chose the time when I left Sky Demon Sect thinking that they will be able to attract my attention back to Sky Demon Secret Cave, but they miscalculated . Looks like I should make a proper plan to return the favor to Towering Palace . ”
He had never taken any action against Towering Palace in the past .
But now, Towering Palace’s hostility was already very obvious .
Since Towering Palace had decided to be an obstruction for Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect’s development, Happy would naturally not sit by and watch .
It was now the final moment before his fight against One Emperor, and he had to give them a warning!

Mind that the story starts really slow, but as the stone starts rolling downhill - the pace gets faster.. Every tag for this novel has a reason to be there, so if you don't see the particular element there, don't panic.. it's either well camoufalged, subtle or simply not encountered as of yet. Big thanks to Hobbo, Enyhrye and Hveth! ...not only pointing that the description could be better, but providing invaluable input.. and being patient enough to give fleshed out advice.
