Chapter 915: Established

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There might be some among the dozens of sect leaders who were close to Class One Hall who knew about Class One Hall’s plan in getting out of Beijing in an orderly fashion, but Dream Clouds had definitely not notified everyone. Since she wanted them to use their full strength to fight against Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect so that they can whittle down their power, it was only expected that she will only tell a certain number of people.

Besides, Dream Clouds will definitely not release this news even at the very last moment.

However, Happy’s act of revealing this piece of news beforehand caused Barren Murderer to panic completely.

A few of the sect leaders in the hall had their gazes gathered on Barren Murderer’s face, which was now as dark as coal.

“Vice Hall Master Barren!”

“Is what Happy said true?”

“How could you do this?”

Wandering Know-it-all stood by the side calmly. There were hundreds of famous people from Beijing outside, and there was no reason for them to suspect whether what Happy said was the truth. Nearly half of them stood up in anger and glared at Barren Murderer. They felt as if they had been betrayed.

The people in the front yard held their breaths.

They watched as Class One Hall’s allies flew into a rage in the hall and leave in a huff. Fewer people remained inside the hall, and Barren Murderer’s expression grew darker.

The Class One Hall members who stood behind Barren Murderer also had very sour expressions. In fact, some of them did not even dare to look at the exasperated sect leaders by the tables.

“Vice Hall Master Barren, you’re the ones who were heartless first. Don’t blame us for being disloyal. Goodbye!” Another sect leader stood up. Once he said those words coldly, he sucked in a deep breath and turned to Happy.

“Clan Master Happy, I will not be involved in the matters pertaining Beijing, and I hope that Mu Clan will also not provoke us.”

Happy said nothing at first. He just toyed with the cup in his hands nonchalantly. “Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect will take all of Class One Hall resource spots before we redistribute them. Mu Clan will not touch all those that do not belong to Class One Hall.”

That person’s turned pale in his silence. Even though he managed to hear Happy’s underlying meaning, he cannot ask for more. Was he supposed to ask Mu Clan to protect Class One Hall’s ally so that they will not be devoured by Mu Clan’s allies? That was clearly not realistic!

“Goodbye.”

“We will be leaving as well.”

Many people decided to not even look at Barren Murderer. They bade farewell to Happy and Wandering Know-it-all before they left, leaving Barren Murderer alone in the hall.

The ones who remained were the sect leaders who received the news, but they did not dare stay for long either. In fact, they did not show any intention to stand together with Class One Hall. They also left like the others and did not dare to stay for even a moment longer.

In the end, there were only five people who remained in the hall.

Wandering Know-it-all, Happy, Responsible Hero, Barren Murderer, and Langye.

Sky Penetrating Tower’s Langye naturally cannot easily break all ties with Class One Hall.

News about Sky Penetrating Tower working closely together with Class One Hall had been going around for a while in the game, and naturally, he cannot act like the other sect leaders, who can show that they had severed their ties with Class One Hall by leaving.

When he saw that the hall had instantly become much more deserted than before, Langye had an awkward expression on his face. He looked at Happy nervously before he picked up his winecup laboriously. “Clan Master Happy, this isn’t the first time we met.”

But he did not continue speaking.

Because Barren Murderer was already staring at them with a face red with rage. His burning anger made him look like a volcano that was about to erupt.

After losing so many sects’ support, it was already impossible for him to complete the task Dream Clouds gave to him. It will be much easier for Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect to move north now. In fact, the local sects in the entire northern section will welcome them with open arms, because they will be welcoming the day where they can get all the resource spots that once belonged to Class One Hall.

The plan Class One Hall prepared through laborious effort was destroyed by just a few sentences from Happy and Wandering Know-it-all. Right now, Class One Hall was completely alone. Aside from leaving this place, they really could do nothing else.

“Heh. Tower Master Langye, thank goodness you stayed behind to talk to me, otherwise, I will really be lonely if I have no one to talk to in Beijing.”

Happy smiled in such a way that caused Langye’s heart to shudder. He quickly replied, “Clan Master Happy, it’s incredibly easy for you to find someone to talk to. The sect masters and famous people in Beijing are all in the front yard. There is already no one here. Why don’t we add another table outside?”

He already revealed his intentions to switch sides and swear loyalty to Mu Clan with that sentence.

“That’s not very appropriate, is it?” Happy hesitated for a while.

“Clan Master Happy, if you have any requests, you can just bring it to the table. I have nearly one hundred thousand people under me, and I need to provide for them as well.”

“As expected of the vice commander for the Embroidered Uniform Guards. You are indeed an outspoken person. I do so like people who get straight to the point.”

“Please tell me what you want, Clan Master Happy.” Langye smiled wanly.

He had the largest share from the resource points Class One Hall occupied, and that was not including his thirteen branches occupying nearly half of the thirty or so resource spots in the north.

However, Class One Hall lost, and they even had to transfer all the resources in their headquarters to West Region. It was already a fact that Mu Clan will be stationed in Beijing. If he did not act smart right now, perhaps with just one word from Mu Clan, Sky Penetrating Tower will lose all their resource spots, and they had to redo everything from scratch.

Right now, he can only be humble and hope that Happy will grant him a path of survival. He hoped to keep one-third—No, he hoped to keep at least one of his branches, one of the resource spots he had, and fifty percent of the resources he had in store in his storage.

“Tower Master Langye, I heard that you have already developed a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards who are of rather high standards, and each of them have the right to capture escaped prisoners as well as martial artists.”

Langye was stunned.

‘How did Happy know about this?’

He had poured his heart and soul into cultivating this group of people with the goal of capturing stronger martial artists so that he can sell or transfer them to the other sect leaders in other to gain great profit, but since he did not have a lot of branches, he was still in the process of setting up this business, and he had not officially started using this group of people yet.

This was a piece of information that even the people from Class One Hall did not know, and he did not know where Happy obtained that information.

When he thought of this, Langye’s respect toward Happy increased by another degree.

“I do have some. There’s eighteen of them, and they are currently one rank lower than I am, but they can capture Inaction Realm martial artists or buy death row criminals or criminals who received severe punishments with a high price from the imperial prison.”

This was Langye’s greatest secret, but under Happy’s awe-inspiring presence, he had to reveal it honestly, though he did so in a whisper.

Sky Penetrating Tower’s survival was involved in this entire matter, and Langye did not know how news about this leaked. Naturally, he did not dare hide anything so that he left a bad impression on Happy.

Right when he finished speaking, Barren Murderer looked at Langye with his expression drastically changing. “Death row criminals from the imperial prison?”

As a professional gamer, he naturally knew just how great of a benefit Langye’s actions can bring to players and sects.

It was incredibly hard to capture Inaction Realm martial artists. Usually, the players will need to mobilize a large number of people before they can successfully lock up a suitable prisoner.

However, an Embroidered Uniform Guard whose rank was sufficient can easily buy and transfer prisoners from the imperial prison, and they can even capture escaped prisoners as well as martial artists outside alone.

This group of people can easily create a stable training ground for a sect. They did not need to search for suitable targets to train outside. As long as they asked Sky Penetrating Tower to throw those targets into the sect prisons, everything will be done.

As of current, many of the top-class sects, including Mu Clan and Class One Hall, only had a few branches with their prisons full. Most of them only had a few people in their prison, and they seldom used those prisons as well.

If they had Langye’s group of people helping them, they can quickly fill up their sect prisons, and the progress in which the members train will also increase.

This was something that was incredibly important for Class One Hall, who was prepared to shift to West Region.

But what caused Barren Murderer to be incredibly enraged was that Class One Hall did not even know about this information, but Happy somehow obtained it.

And judging by Langye’s reaction, he did not intend to hide it either.

“Langye!” Barren Murderer slammed his palm against the table in anger and glared at him.

Langye scowled.

At that moment, he already had the thought of completely severing ties with Class One Hall. Naturally, he did not care about Barren Murderer. Besides, even if Barren Murderer struck the table in anger and shouted his name when Class One Hall’s fame was at its peak, Langye might not necessarily bother with him.

“Shut up!”

With one cold snort, an astonishing sword will descended on Barren Murderer and his bodyguards before enveloping them. They were instantly locked down by this blatant killing intent.

Then, this group of people snapped out of their anger.

Happy was not the only huge threat sitting in front of them now. There was something else who can decide their lives and deaths at any moment—Ximen Chuixue’s disciple.

Responsible Hero was now a part of Mu Clan!

Langye cast Barren Murderer a cold glance, turned his head around, and said, “Clan Master Happy, if you have that desire, I will be able to fill up all your branch prisons within a short amount of time.”

Happy also ignored Barren Murderer, who was glaring at them. “When you manage to produce this group of Embroidered Uniform Guards who can fill up those prisons, I will return your resources to you. As of current, half of your resources will be in my control.”

“Alright!” Langye’s bottom was one-third of his resources. Right now, he managed to keep half of it, and he also obtained Happy’s promise that he will return those resources to him in the future, and he was already beyond himself with delight. Naturally, he agreed to Happy’s request. “If you want to get a high rank among the Embroidered Uniform Guards, all they need to do is to be skilled enough to pass the test and complete a few quests given by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. You can give me some of your elites, and within half a month, at most one month, I will return your people to you.”

“Very well.” Happy was very pleased with this.

Even though capturing a few Inaction Realm evil cult elites and evil martial artists was nothing to Mu Clan, once they had government titles, it meant that they can capture escaped prisoners with even higher qi realms, such as those in Myth Realm.

If they had a Myth Realm prisoner or a few of them staying in their prison everyday, it meant that multiple Mu Clan members can practice with them everyday. Not only will they be able to train safely, they will also improve very quickly!

Using Langye’s greatest secret in order to help him secure Langye’s current profit was something absolutely beneficial for Mu Clan.

“Very well. Vice Hall Master Barren, please enjoy the feast on your own. Tower Master Langye, Young Hero, let’s go outside and greet the others.”

“Alright!” Responsible Hero had just received his new title, and he was incredibly excited. When he heard this, he naturally got up.

Langye knew that he had just received Mu Clan’s acknowledgement, and right now, he will naturally not miss the chance to boast and show off to the other sects in Beijing. He followed closely behind Happy.

In an instant, only Barren Murderer and those few people from Class One Hall remained in the hall. When they faced the empty hall and compared it to the hustle and bustle of activity while the people toasted with each other cheerfully, the group felt incredibly uneasy.

Someone suggested softly. “Vice hall master, let’s go. We can’t complete the task our hall master gave us. If we wait until Happy completes his negotiations, it’ll be impossible for us and the others to leave.”

The others nodded in agreement.

Class One Hall might have great power, but there were plenty of people who held a grudge against them. At that time, if those people struck them while they were down, it will be incredibly difficult for them to head to West Region.

Barren Murderer sighed. He got up while looking defeated. Under countless people’s gazes, which were ones of delight because of their misfortune, they quickly left Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion while resentment burned in them.
