Chapter 772: Chapter 772 – Death Compensation

Chapter 772: Death Compensation

When Happy personally led the Mu Clan members and Wind Assault Tower members to receive all the Mu Clan members who died and were revived in the Guanlin Temples in Yangzhou City, due to how the Towering Palace member had disappeared without a trace, the areas nearby were considered to be peaceful, and countless martial artists just watched by the side .

As time passed, a saying quickly spread through Yangzhou City!

The market and restaurants were always the places where news travelled rather quickly . Quite a number of people chatted with each other there .

“Did you hear? Mu Clan lost nearly four thousand people this time, and Happy gave a compensation of nearly ten billion . Each person also obtained two million taels of silver—”

“Your information isn’t the full version, you know?”

There were all sorts of people gathered around a table in the restaurant, and sunflower seed shells as well as spit flew all over the place .

“Mu Clan is rich and has great style . They also take care of their subordinates . This time, aside from receiving two million taels of silver, those who died also get a piece of equipment . ”

“Yup . ”

“I heard that those twenty or so people who are more unfortunate received a blessing in disguise . All of them received an Illusion Life and Death Pill . You know, the thing that’s worth cities? Whew, that’s Illusion Life and Death Pills we’re talking about, and they’re treasures that many sect leaders spend a large sum of money to buy so that they can protect themselves, but Happy actually used it on normal Mu Clan members . ”

“That’s what we call boldness!”

“True that… Or else, they won’t be giving priority to those who died to use the clan prisons in all branches, you know? I say, within less than a month, this group of people’s strength will return to their original state . ”

“That’s what I think so too . ”

“What’s Towering Palace doing?”

“…Heh, don’t mention them . Once they shifted their headquarters, they no longer have a place to stand in Yangzhou . I heard that Musical Note ordered all Towering Palace members to leave Yangzhou and head to nearby cities and branches . ”

“This time, Towering Palace can be considered to have suffered a big fall . ”

Someone at the table laughed and said, “That’s right . Tens of thousands of people worked together with Class One Hall and some foreign martial artists, but they didn’t manage to get rid of all the elites in Mu Clan’s branch in Yangzhou . Instead, they turned the tables around and got rid of their headquarters, causing them to lose tens of thousands of men…”

“Do you know the precise number?”

“I think it’s around thirty thousand . ”

“They’re in a miserable state this time . ”

“Mu Clan got rid of all the worries within those Mu Clan members who died, you know? I wonder what Towering Palace will do as a countermeasure . ”

“What else can they do?” Someone cackled at Towering Palace’s misery . “I heard that once Clear Music heard Happy’s announcement at a Guanlin Temple, her face immediately turned red with rage, and she left without a single word . ”

The group of people by the table were stunned by this news .

“Logically speaking, because of Clear Music’s mistake in her plan, Towering Palace’s status plummeted to the ground, and a large group of Towering Palace members died . She should have something to say about this and compensate the losses of her palace members who died for her . ”

Someone else explained . “You’re right, but how is she supposed to compensate them?”

“This time, Mu Clan lost nearly four thousand people, while Towering Palace lost nearly thirty thousand, that’s nearly ten times the difference . Besides, they suffered a lot of sacrifices when they surrounded Mu Clan . Mu Clan could obtain a batch of equipment automatically from the people they killed during the defense, but Towering Palace will lose their equipment straight away when they die . Besides, what about those at the south? They also lost tens of thousands of people over there as well . Can Towering Palace even compensate those losses?”

“That’s true, too . ”

A man with a full beard smacked his lips . “Mu Clan has set the standard right up at two million, and Towering Palace is also a top-class sect . If they really try to compensate for it, they will lose all their money based on this standard! They lost around sixty thousand to seventy thousand men, and they will have to compensate around one hundred billion… If we add equipment into the mix, that number will be even higher . ”

“But they can’t just provide no compensation,” someone mentioned .

“That’s right!”

“They fought for their sect as well, and Towering Palace is even the ones who took the initiative to attack . Mu Clan had to passively get through this disaster, and Mu Clan still compensated their members fully . But Towering Palace isn’t doing anything about it . I heard that someone asked Towering Palace’s higher-ups at that time about whether they will receive any compensation, and in the end, he was scolded by a few elders . ”

“Huh?”

That group of people had indignant expressions appear on their faces .

“So, about dozens of people quit Towering Palace on the spot . ”

“…If I were them, I’d leave as well . I fought with my life on the line for them, and in the end, I was scolded? What the heck?”

“I know, right?”

*****

Towering Palace had indeed been forced into a very dangerous situation by Mu Clan .

But that was not because of Silver Wolf and the others’ counterattack, not because of the reinforcements provided by Wind Assault Tower and a group of Mu Clan elites, and not because Happy had killed that group of Dragon Sect elites .

The destruction of their former headquarters might cause them great pain, but Towering Palace still had a lot of power stored in them . In their grief, if they were united, they could still pose as a certain degree of threat to Mu Clan and cause them trouble .

But what Towering Palace did not expect was that the spirit of this grieving army which allowed them to be united quickly caused the internal members of Towering Palace to quickly have a fallout with each other once Happy publicly announced those words .

Death compensation!

As one of the top-class sects, Mu Clan had publicly announced a death compensation, and the standards for it were very high! He had also announced loudly and clearly . He also used the clan’s resources for it, which was entirely within reason .

All this made a number of players who were originally immersed in grief to be unable to help themselves to cast their gazes on their higher ups, specifically, Clear Music and Musical Note!

They were also a top-class sect .

They had also conquered a large number of cities for a long period of time, and they even monopolized countless resources .

If Towering Palace could bring out the same amount of death compensation, the Towering Palace members will definitely serve them wholeheartedly, and they will fight against Mu Clan to the end .

Unfortunately, one hundred billion was practically the total profit in a month for Towering Palace!

Right now, they lost half of their territory, and it was already difficult to tell whether they could still retain their remaining profit . Clear Music absolutely did not want to continue with this topic .

But among the tens of thousands Towering Palace members who died, there were some who regarded this with great importance . Once they learned of Mu Clan’s arrangement, they believed that it was only natural that their palace took care of them and provided them with compensation after they sacrificed their lives for their palace . Besides, Towering Palace did indeed have resources that were the cause of envy for many people, and they also had a lot of money .

When they saw how the higher-ups evaded the issue and how the elders as well as the palace masters ignored this, many people found this to be increasingly unfair!

Rumors spread even further, and they became even wilder, as if they had a mind of their own .

There were even people who said that Towering Palace’s end was nigh . There was no way the Music sisters could cough up so much money for their normal disciples, because it will just return them to the state before they were powerful .

Hence, the hearts of the palace members swayed, and there were plenty who left the palace! There were also those who said that the higher ups of Towering Palace were corrupt and pocketed the palace’s money . To a certain degree, this matter affected the palace members’ hearts even more than the destruction of their headquarters .

During half a day since Mu Clan rebuilt their branch in Yangzhou, tens of thousands Towering Palace members quit Towering Palace, and among them, the main ones were the ones who died in the battle this time .

Compared to Mu Clan’s timely reinforcements and announcement, Towering Palace’s actions did indeed make them seem very…

But no one knew that if Towering Palace truly chose to provide death compensations like Mu Clan, Towering Palace will not be able to handle the subsequent wars that were bound to come .

Because Happy absolutely did not intend to have Mu Clan’s members participate in the plan to destroy Towering Palace .

Once he opened his mouth, the death compensation will be like an invisible mouth that will devour Towering Palace at an even faster speed .
