Chapter 737: Things are About to Change?!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Just when Mu Clan’s branch was enveloped by a somber atmosphere signalling the beginning of war, the people at Towering Palace’s headquarters finally released a breath of relief .
The Music sisters were in high spirits .
They did not expect that Class One Hall would have a trick up their sleeves . Not only had they hidden their true strength, but they made a few consecutive moves that showed off their astonishing foundation and directed Mu Clan’s attention away from Towering Palace .
Barren Murderer and Dream Clouds actions helped the Music sisters relax, and they agreed to the alliance without hesitation . They also fulfilled their promise to Dragon Sect that they would help their elites to return to the game .
“Boss Dragon, I’ve done all that I could . For the next part, I’ll need your help with something . ” Musical Note paused for a moment before she spoke to the gentle looking middle-aged man in front of her once more . “Don’t worry, I’ll agree to the matter you asked of us . For the next three months from today onwards, one hundred craftsmen from Dragon Sect will receive our materials for free, and they will create medicinal pills and equipment for us . Then, we will protect your safety in China . ”
“With your promise, I will no longer be worried . ” The middle-aged man smiled .
Soon after he logged off, the Dragon Sect members who had previously ambushed Mu Clan’s branch and fled walked in from outside . They were all built, sturdy, and very capable .
“Tell us what you need . ” The middle-aged man reappeared in front of Musical Note and smiled with a gentle look .
Musical Note surveyed the elites in the room and spoke gently and slowly . “Join our attack against Mu Clan’s branch . Destroying it is our secondary goal, however . The key is not letting any of Mu Clan’s people leave, especially the higher-ups . ”
She had already received news that there was a large number of higher-ups from Mu Clan in Yangzhou City, and many of the branches had sent a part of their top one hundred . As long as they were killed, it would be the same as one of Mu Clan’s arms being cut off!

“No problem!”
The middle-aged man nodded in agreement without hesitation . Then, his tone changed . “But we have a request as well . Your people must be the vanguard . After all, there are only a few of us, and we’re only suited for assassination . ”
In truth, when he heard the news of the two top-class sects forming an alliance, he had predicted this moment .
Class One Hall took a fancy to the hidden trump cards of Towering Palace, while Towering Palace saw the determination of Class One Hall to fight Mu Clan, along with their abilities to be able to win . Both sides reached an agreement and quickly became partners .
“We have a deal . ”
A few minutes later, Towering Palace began mobilizing their forces in a frenzy and quickly occupied the entrances to many streets before they gathered at Mu Clan’s branch like a tidal wave .
Yangzhou City was in a state of constant fear!
The middle-aged man standing on the stairs leading to Towering Palace’s headquarters made a gesture, and the twenty-nine Dragon Sect men in black moved like the wind . They put on disguises and joined the crowd!
*****
While the elites from Towering Palace gathered to head to Mu Clan’s branch, a mansion nearby suddenly opened up . A group of young men and women with three blood drops sewn on their chests walked behind Towering Palace’s people with somber expressions .
The people from other sects who were on the streets sucked in sharp breaths!
“Class One Hall!”
“The people from Class One Hall also joined?!”
“This is bad . Mu Clan is about to be in big trouble!”
Many elites jumped to the roofs .
Streams of people moved to the streets that led to Mu Clan’s branch .
Soon, the way to Mu Clan’s branch was completely filled by a crowd that was as huge as a tidal wave .
Some Mu Clan members were on the streets too . When they saw the lineup of their enemies, some of the smarter ones quickly hid in nearby restaurants or inns to avoid the disaster, but those who were slightly slower on the uptake were suppressed and killed .
A faint hint of blood drifted in the air of Yangzhou City .
*****
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
The horse hooves sounded like thunder .
There was a person riding a horse, and he was alone on a remote government-made road three hundred and ten miles away from Yangzhou . He looked as if he had become one with the wind, and he rode quickly, just like lightning . Never once did he stop .

The person on the horse was Happy, and his face was grim .
Once he learned the news of Class One Hall’s Barren Murderer provoking them and the two top-class sects working together, he realized that the situation was bad . He no longer cared about exploring Sky Demon Secret Cave and jumped on his new Hoof Shadow to rush away while he sent letters to Silver Wolf and the others .
In truth, when he had accidentally let Xu Yao hear his commands yesterday, he had a vague feeling that something might happen, which was why he did not focus fully on Sky Demon Secret Cave . Instead, he constantly had people pay attention to all that transpired in the game .
And just as he expected, something happened .
He knew Dream Clouds too well .
If she could bring things to a satisfactory end, she would definitely not risk everything by putting all her eggs in one basket .
Since she spent so much time setting up her plan before she publicly announced that she wanted to make enemies with Mu Clan, she had to have a fool-proof plan .
The Mu Clan branch they set up in Yangzhou City was in danger .
Silver Wolf and the others were also in great danger!
If it were in the past, Happy could force them to retreat by attacking one of their branches, but now his Class One Hall and Towering Palace were working together, and Dream Clouds as well as Barren Murderer seemed to have reached another height in power .
Happy had to save the people in Yangzhou City .
Silver Wolf, Wind Chimes, and Little North had to be kept safe .
If he lost them, it would be the same as Mu Clan losing a pillar of support, and Mu Clan might collapse!
*****
Happy occasionally received messenger pigeons while he was on the horse .
They came from Mu Clan . Thunderous Battle, Phoenix Dances, Momo, Rampaging Dragon, and some other people all offered their services .
They understood from the messenger pigeons Happy had sent to them that Silver Wolf and the rest in Yangzhou City were in danger, and they declared that they had already mobilized their forces and were ready to head to Yangzhou City at any moment .
But Happy refused their offers .
The more dangerous the situation was, the calmer he needed to be!
Thunderous Battle and Momo could not leave because they were at Mu Clan’s headquarters, and the elites of the headquarters could not be readily sent away . Otherwise, if something happened, Mu Clan’s very foundation would be shaken .
Phoenix Dances was in West Region, which was too far from Yangzhou . The rain far away could not get rid of the fire nearby!
Rampaging Dragon’s forces had been weakened . It would be enough for him to protect Sky Demon Branch, for even if he mobilized his forces, he would not be of much help .
Happy also received messenger pigeons from Chivalry Sect, Wind and Rain Alliance, and Wind Assault Tower .
Lin Xiao, Night Rain Follows Wind, and Phantom Shadow all stated that they would do all they could to provide help to Mu Clan .
But at that moment, Happy worried about more than just Mu Clan’s safety . He also did not want Yangzhou to be completely ruined by the war between four top-class sects, which might throw the entire Chinese world of martial artists into chaos . Such an event would give the foreign organizations a chance to come in and develop their sects .
At that time, it would be difficult for Happy to absolve himself from the blame!
Hence, he tactfully refused their offers of help . He did not know the situation at Yangzhou fully nor if Mu Clan’s branch would be able to last until he got there .
If he requested for back up while everything remained unknown to him, he would only give Class One Hall and Towering Palace more chances to destroy his forces, and Class One Hall might even find a chance to march their army south .
There was no way Happy would give them such a chance .
However, since things had already progressed so far, he left himself the option of using those people’s forces at a later point in time .
If the people in Yangzhou City truly met with an accident… Happy would not mind descending into madness with them! He would make their enemies pay the price!

Forbidden Destiny
Two troubled teens, raised as siblings, try fighting their attraction to one another, while struggling to uncover the truly unexplainable and unimaginable reasons why their entire lives were a lie. Sky and Star were raised as brother and sister. As they got older they began to realize that there was much about them that was completely unexplainable and deliberately being hidden from them. Struggling with the feelings they were raised to believe they shouldn't have for one another, and all the pain that causes them, the two search desperately to uncover the truth about who... or what they really are. (This book is completed, so the plan was to post 1 chapter each day until the end) *This story does deal with difficult issues such as suicide, abuse and rape. Though I try to do so in the most realistic, sensitive and sympathetic way possible. So be advised that these themes are included in the book. And I hope you'll give it a chance nonetheless.* *Yet another disclaimer: Yes, there are teenagers involved in consensual sexual relationships with other teenagers in this book. Which is also a more than common occurence in hundreds of other books, shows and films, (not to mention a common occurence in real life, even though this is a fantasy story with characters who may or may not even be fully human), so if you have a problem with troubled teens behaving like troubled teens, then you probably shouldn't read this book.*

Falling from Earth
He won. He defeated Fate. He took his life into his own hands, the only way he knew how. He killed himself. ......................... He cheated. Fate cheated too. He didnt die. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm a amateur writer. English is my first language. I appreciate it when people point out grammar issues. I also appreciate constructive critiques. I'm writing this mostly because I've read so many novels on here that i feel that I should give back to the community. Will be at least a chapter a week. Every Friday. I keep a buffer of 3 chapters, so if i get on a roll and write more chapters, there will be more updates. My chapters will be at least 3000 words, prologue excluded. I'm shooting for more like 6000 words a chapter, mostly because i never like how small the chapters are in most novels on here. Not enough MEAT. Oh and comments that touch my heart get me excited to write. Just figured that out.

Ruins of Dalághast
I've been writing for as long as I can remember, but I'd always been torn between different projects. That's why I decided to dedicate myself to a pretty strict schedule of writing and editing a single chapter every month since the start of 2019. This is an ongoing, work in progress novel that follows a ragtag group of sellswords as they delve into a lost city on the edge of the known world in search of their fortunes. Within, though, they find much more than they ever expected and find themselves in a race against time to unravel a mystery centuries old.

Tesla Stone and the World of Smoke and Mirrors
R0Q-T357-Alpha (callsign: Rock) is a "Core Child," an irredeemably-crippled test tube baby modified and repurposed by an advanced U.S. military project to serve as the CPU for two-thirds of America's orbital defense systems. Though no one outside of the Pentagon has ever heard of him, he protected his homeland from three ICBMs, a Pacific theatre invasion fleet, and one rogue asteroid. Now, after twenty-seven years of distinguished service from "birth," he is being honorably discharged into civilian life. The only problem is that "civilian life" isn't exactly livable for a glorified brain in a jar. How does a couple pounds of grey matter surrounded by five tons of life support systems and enough co-processing enhancements to take over the planet enjoy an early retirement when he's surrounded by overzealous politicians, corporate spies, and foreign agents after military secrets? The real world isn't that forgiving.
