Chapter 653: The Setting Sun Shines on Abyss Tower
Xie Yi and the others were at Abyss Tower’s headquarters in Yangzhou . They waited at the entrance while listening to the information their tower members reported back to them . Aside from gradually becoming numb to the news, they also gathered an increasing amount of puzzlement and unease in their hearts .
Chivalry Sect had mobilized tens of thousands of disciples, so they were definitely not there just to view the scenery!
But more than an hour had passed, and they still had not taken any action . The people in the city could not help but feel that it was strange as well as a cause for suspicion, and the uneasiness in their hearts grew stronger .
*****
“It’s about time . ” Lin Xiao checked the time after he sent a few messenger pigeons outside the city, and his gaze grew sharp . “Move . ”
Whoosh!
A huge flag was raised in the face of the wind . A violent gust made it flutter and reveal the word “Chivalry” written in large letters .
Whoosh!
The word “Sect” was also swiftly lifted on another flag on the other side .
Once the two flags were raised, tens of thousands of Chivalry Sect members stood up simultaneously . They drew their weapons, and an astonishingly grim presence rose into the sky!
All the people dozens of miles away could clearly sense it! Xie Yi and the others at the entrance of the headquarters were the same . They felt uneasy, and they quickly asked for the situation .
“Go and take a look at what’s going on!”
“They’re coming!”
Shrill screams charged over from the distance! It made the hearts of all members of Wind and Rain Alliance tense .
“Very good . We’ve been waiting for this for a long time . ” At that moment, Xie Yi naturally did not want to destroy his own prestige . He drew his longsword and pointed it at the sky . “Brothers, it’s time for us to stand at the top of the world! If we destroy Chivalry Sect, we’ll become the largest alliance in the Chinese server!”
“Kill them!”
The people pointed their weapons skyward while shouting with their necks flushed red . Their voices shook through Yangzhou .
Clang…
A sudden string of zither notes rose at that moment . Xie Yi and all the members of Wind and Rain Alliance could hear it . The zither notes were loud and sharp, and they were incredibly clear and piercing to the ears when they rang out in the middle of shouting people .

Every single person in the area felt as if someone was playing for their hearts . They subconsciously looked around them for the source of the zither notes .
The momentum they had built moments earlier vanished without a trace!
“Who’s causing trouble?!”
When Xie Yi noticed that the atmosphere was off, anger appeared on his face . He jumped onto Abyss Tower’s gate and looked at the area from above, but he found no signs of the person who played the zither .
At that moment, another string of zither notes entered his ears, as if they came from the heavens themselves .
Xie Yi said nothing .
This time, he finally found his target .
When he turned around to look, he saw a girl in a dress as white as snow . She sat in a dignified fashion in front of the most important object in Abyss Tower—its foundation . Her fingers moved like orchids, and she swiftly plucked the six-stringed zither .
Clanging zither notes spilled out like flowing water . The Abyss Tower members nearby were the first to be affected by them . A terrifying bit of red appeared on their chests, and it came out of the blue . Then, it swiftly spread out .
“Demonic zither!”
The expressions of Xie Yi and a few of the sect masters of Wind and Rain Alliance changed to shock at the same time . They recognized the woman!
Even though Wind Chimes never joined Mu Clan, the fact that she traveled with Silver Wolf was public knowledge to all . Although no one knew why Wind Chimes would be together with Silver Wolf, one thing was for certain: As long as Silver Wolf was in Mu Clan, Wind Chimes could also be counted as being a member of Mu Clan .
Wind Chimes’ appearance made chills crawl down the backs of the sect masters and members of Wind and Rain Alliance .
‘Is Mu Clan working together with Chivalry Sect to fight against Wind and Rain Alliance?!’
“Xie Yi, you sure are ambitious . Your methods are pretty good, considering the fact that you managed to draw in so many large sects to help you fight against Chivalry Sect . Unfortunately for you, you chose the wrong opponent . ”
A sonorous voice rose from behind Wind Chimes . Silver Wolf, dressed in dazzling Golden Armor, walked out, which was a huge blow to the chest for Xie Yi and the rest . Their faces turned pale, and their uneasiness swiftly grew more prominent .
“Chivalry Sect is Mu Clan’s ally . Just like how Wind and Rain Alliance will call for the members of their alliance to help when one of your sects are in trouble, Mu Clan will naturally not stand aloof when Chivalry Sect is in trouble . ”

“Silver Wolf!” Xie Yi’s face was pale, but he suddenly flew into a rage . “How did you get in here?!
“I know, it must be Night Rain Follows Wind . He’s destroying all of my plans!”
When he reached the second half of his sentence, his tone subconsciously turned sharp from exasperation, and his facial features twisted .
“Plans?” Silver Wolf laughed coldly while walking beside Wind Chimes . “You might have dozens of sects in your alliance,” he said with derision, “but Chivalry Sect doesn’t need to be afraid of you . Your Alliance Master, Night Rain, just doesn’t want the alliance he created through blood, sweat, and tears to be used by a despicable scum as a tool for him to fulfill his own ambitions, which is why he decided to work with us to eliminate Abyss Tower . ”
“Eliminate?” Xie Yi shuddered when he heard that, and he gritted his teeth while he chuckled coldly . “Forget about whether Chivalry Sect will be able to get here within a short time . Do you think that the both of you will actually be able to stay in Abyss Tower’s headquarters safely?”
Xie Yi sucked in a resolute breath and gave a firm order, “Kill them!”
Silver Wolf said nothing .
When dozens of members in the headquarters drew their weapons, they heard the clanging and piercing zither notes suddenly grow louder . They came at the members like huge pairs of scissors!
The sharp sound blades instantly cut through the people’s bodies!
Bang bang bang bang…
Dozens of corpses stood still for a few seconds before they fell to the ground one after another .
Wind Chimes’ expression remained the same as if all that had transpired had nothing to do with her . She plucked the strings leisurely with her face turned slightly to the side, as if she was immersed in the melody she created .
However, at the instant Wind Chimes released her murderous notes, it was as if a strange power had frozen everyone . All of Abyss Tower members outside the damage zone turned pale, and there was a look of fear they could not hide on their faces when they looked at Wind Chimes’ side profile .
“Why are you afraid?! Attack! She’s alone! There’s no way she can attack continuously! Attack!”
Xie Yi’s shouts might have managed to spur on some of the people, but it was clear that his charisma did not have the same effect as before . Most of the people were still immersed in their wariness toward Wind Chimes and Silver Wolf as well as their respect for Mu Clan .
The small number of people who moved were instantly targeted . The zither notes grew intense, and soon a violent gust of wind swept through the players . The fierce sound blades filled the whole area before crashing straight into them!
At that moment, black messenger pigeons flew all over the sky above Abyss Tower’s headquarters .
The members of the other sects watched the sight with unpleasant expressions . They felt an indescribable pressure descend on them from above .
It was only at that moment that they noticed that even though Wind and Rain Alliance had grown strong, they did not possess the strength to fight against Chivalry Sect, much less Mu Clan .
With just two elites, many of their people were already intimidated .
A clamor promising murder rose outside the city!
The sect masters who had been recruited into Wind and Rain Alliance by Xie Yi looked at the dreary and hopeless situation in Abyss Tower, and their eyes sparkled . No one knew what they were thinking about .
At that moment, Silver Wolf’s voice came from the stairs leading to the tower’s foundation .
“This time, Mu Clan’s target is just Abyss Tower . We are only here to destroy Abyss Tower, and we will not interfere with your war against Chivalry Sect, but next time, we cannot tell whether we might visit your headquarters . ”
When he finished speaking, Wind Chimes’ zither notes suddenly changed . Excited notes rose and filled the air, and their area of effect increased exponentially!
The Abyss Tower members could not react in time, and in an instant, nearly one hundred of them were dead . The others cried out in alarm and quickly retreated . They ignored Xie Yi’s hysterical shouts and cries . Everyone escaped Abyss Tower’s headquarters to get away from the attack zone of the sound blades .
When the sect masters saw that Silver Wolf and Wind Chimes were the only ones left within Abyss Tower, their hearts sink .
Abyss Tower… was over .
