Chapter 738: Chapter 738 – War Drums
Chapter 738: War Drums
Yangzhou was in trouble!
When flames lit up the area around Mu Clan’s branch like stars, the people in the distance felt like they were seeing Mu Clan’s branch burning in a sea of fire .
There was no cries for murder nor clashes of weapons .
Everything was eerily silent!
The people from Towering Palace filled every spot around Mu Clan’s branch . There was only an empty circular spot that was less than 164 feet wide .
The light of torches illuminated the Towering Palace members’ nervous but excited faces .
Over the past few days, the people from Mu Clan had pushed them to the point that they were nearly driven mad .
Or more accurately speaking, ever since Happy left Yangzhou, they had been suppressed by Mu Clan . Not only had they lost a few cities in the south of the coastal area, they had also suffered quite a loss . To many of the sects and foreign organizations in the coastal area, Towering Palace’s name was no longer as brilliant and glorious as before .
All of it was because of Happy and Mu Clan .
Right now, Mu Clan had even run into Yangzhou City in an arrogant fashion and set up their branch in the city with Towering Palace’s headquarters . This enraged the people from Towering Palace even more .
They finally had the chance to vent their anger, so there was no way they would not be excited and worked up .
However, the moment their army arrived at Mu Clan’s branch, quite a number of Towering Palace members felt hesitant and uneasy .
They knew very clearly just what it meant to fight against Mu Clan .
Once they officially became enemies, they would turn hostile against each other, and from then on, they would only face each other with weapons .
Yet Mu Clan was a giant who stood at the top of the Chinese server . They had multiple branches in the south, Changjiang River Basin, and West Region . The total surface area of the regions that belonged to them was much larger than of the others .
Besides, ever since Happy officially entered Moksha Realm and legitimately claimed the title of strongest on Dragon Rank, the title of strongest also enveloped Mu Clan .

If Towering Palace fought against Mu Clan, they had to be prepared for Mu Clan launching a fierce counterattack .
When the players thought about how Clear Music had been forced to step down and they lost a few of their resource points in the coastal area when they first offended Mu Clan, complicated emotions surged in their hearts .
Happy was like a mountain that suppressed people, and they could not break free of the shadow and pressure that he placed on their shoulders .
The torches burned and crackled .
As time passed, the atmosphere outside Mu Clan’s branch became even more somber .
The gates of Mu Clan remained shut tight . However, those in the distance could see that the roofs were filled with Mu Clan archers .
The people who watched from the roofs nearby saw that the inside of Mu Clan was filled with people . Their equipment was of the best quality, and their formations were neat and orderly . They looked ready to use their full strength to protect the branch .
By the looks of it, Mu Clan had already made full preparations as well .
At that moment, the crowd suddenly split up .
Clear Music brought Grim Green, Vast Heaven, Shangguan Lian, Hai Dongqing, and a group of elders as well as branch masters in front of the crowd . The lineup she brought was splendid .
“Where are our friends from Class One Hall?”
Clear Music did not reduce the volume of her voice . She deliberately spoke in a way that everyone could hear her .
Once she finished speaking, a clear bark of laughter came from the other side, and it traveled into the ears of all those within a circular area of 328 feet .
“I, Blood Robes of Class One Hall, greet Palace Master Music . ”
It was only at that moment that many people from Towering Palace noticed that the large group over there belonged to Class One Hall .
The atmosphere instantly changed a little . Delighted expressions appeared on many faces . Fighting against Mu Clan alone and working with Class One Hall to fight against them were two completely different things!
The people watching the fight from the restaurants nearby all had solemn expressions .
“That woman sure is a person full of schemes…”

“Yeah . ”
Even though it was a simple conversation, it was clear that the atmosphere outside Mu Clan had changed a little, and the people became full of spirit and aggression .
Not only had Clear Music increased her own forces’ morale, the appearance of Class One Hall’s elites put a lot of pressure on Mu Clan . But that was not all, they soon delivered an even heavier blow .
Once Clear Music received Blood Robes’ reply, she surveyed the area and nodded in satisfaction . She cast her gaze at Mu Clan’s tightly shut gate .
“Mu Clan did not honor the code of chivalry in the world of martial artists and acted without care for anything . They invaded Towering Palace’s territory, and now, I, Clear Music, represent Towering Palace to officially declare war on Mu Clan!
“Archers!”
She swung her arm, and the archers behind her drew their bows until they were the shape of full moons . They aimed at the sky above Mu Clan and waited, ready to attack .
“Fire!”
Whoosh!
Dark clouds shot toward the sky, but did not reach it . Halfway through the journey, they plunged into Mu Clan’s headquarters .
“Charge!”
While the continuous sounds of metal clashing rose from within the branch, the people who surrounded Mu Clan surged over like a wave .
The people who watched from above sucked in sharp breaths when they saw that .
What did they see?
In the span of a breath, the distance of 168 feet was shortened by half .
The crowd was like a huge mouth which wanted to devour Mu Clan’s branch!
But this would never work .
Towering Palace’s Clear Music and Class One Hall’s Blood Robes knew it very well .
Mu Clan had almost two hundred branches in the Chinese server .
With each extra branch, the occupied territory increased by at least two percent, while at other times they gained a whole eight percent increase .
Mu Clan’s branch with the largest value was the one in Yangzhou City . This normal branch was four times the size of any other branch that was built by other sects . Their huge courtyard could contain thousands of people .
Due to the importance of Yangzhou’s branch, the people inside were also Mu Clan’s elites . They were all people who could fight multiple enemies alone . If such a group of defenders was devoured by a single charge, they could not call themselves Mu Clan .
Right when the people who were leading the charge jumped onto the wall, arrows struck their chests .
Their bodies shuddered, and their consciousness quickly faded away . The shrill and quick sounds of air being torn swiftly became softer .
The vanguards were all cannon fodder!
In the blink of an eye, one hundred corpses fell off the wall . They did not even have the chance to jump in before being pinned to the ground outside .
The formation at the back was slightly disrupted .
“Don’t stop! While they’re changing arrows, charge inside!
“Those who retreat will be punished through palace laws!” Clear Music had known that it would be a difficult battle, so there were a lot of higher-ups following behind the vanguard, and they continuously shouted orders and gave commands to their palace members . “Those who die will receive two hundred thousand contribution points! We’ll compensate you with a piece of equipment too!”
The people from Towering Palace had made ample preparations . Their last sentence stimulated quite a lot of people, and while burning with passion, they rushed inside Mu Clan with an indomitable spirit .
Corpses continuously fell on the ground!
But even though many died, some people finally managed to break through Mu Clan’s first line of defense .
However, the people who broke through saw something that terrified them .
Crouching in front of the well-equipped archers, which served as the first line of defense, were two rows of elites with grade one masterpieces that had three colors flowing on them!
What attracted their sights, however, were not the aggressive, flowing streams of light in their hands, but the person who stood in front of the two rows of people . He was less than thirteen feet away and was equipped in an entire set of fourth-echelon equipment, which put great pressure on the attackers . His breathing was long, and he stared at them with a cold as well as contemptuous gaze, like a cold wall that could not be passed .
