Chapter 1001: A Great Disturbance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As news about Five Venoms working together with Wild Wolves spread out, very soon, a mighty storm raged in the Chinese world of martial artists. Many players were furious, and various factions of power gathered together on their own. On that day, they destroyed more than thirty branches from Five Venoms in Jiangnan and the north.

All Five Venoms members everywhere were surrounded and killed in the wild.

All the players who had a grudge against Five Venoms over the years joined.

This day was destined to be the day of disaster and destruction for Five Venoms.

Not only would they be chased down outside, when they returned to the city or to Guanlin Temple, all sorts of sinister methods would frequently be used on them as well.

Quite a number of people summoned poisonous creatures in Guanlin Temple and chose to let them run loose. They used the method that Five Venoms loved using to kill a large number of Five Venoms members.

While this trend of development tumbled forward like a wave, thousands of Five Venoms members logged off to avoid the disaster. Many even quickly quit Five Venoms after they died to draw a clear line between themselves and Five Venoms.

At that moment, not only did the world of martial artists decide to get rid of Five Venoms, even the members of Five Venoms knew that after this day, Five Venoms would no longer exist in the Chinese world of martial artists.

After he logged off the game and returned to the hospital, Happy ran into the young nurse and her boyfriend, Qiu Ming in the physiotherapy room, who came to him in haste.

The duo had clearly learned about the news of Five Venoms’ destruction and came over specifically to congratulate him.

“…What?”

Xu Yao originally did not pay attention to their conversation, but when she heard from the duo that Five Venoms had completely disappeared, she finally looked a little dazed.

Young Yi blinked and looked at her. “Yao Yao, don’t you know? Your darling over there destroyed three of Five Venoms’ branches over the past two days, forcing Five Venoms to reveal that they were working with Wild Wolves. Right now, more than thirty of their branches are destroyed, including their headquarters. Go log in yourself. You’ll definitely not see even a single Five Venoms member left.”

Xu Yao was stunned speechless, she turned her head around to look at Happy.

It was difficult for her to imagine that after something so big happened, Happy would actually act like nothing had occurred and just continued going through his physiotherapy.

“Don’t look at me that way. Since you’re no longer playing World of Martial Arts, that’s why I didn’t tell you about what happened inside.” Happy went back to his room and shrugged while he spread his arms and explained.

“Even though it has been a long time since I’ve been in World of Martial Arts, I know about Five Venoms’ influence and power in the Chinese server right now. How did you manage to do it in such a short time?” For the first time ever, Happy could not help but gasp at the speed of Happy’s development in the game.

“Five Venoms is just a small character in the grand scale of things. Once I destroy Class One Hall and Blood Alliance, you’ll definitely be the first person I notify,” Happy said with a smile.

The light in Xu Yao’s eyes dimmed, and she said, “Class One Hall and Blood Alliance are far stronger than Five Venoms. It’s too early for you to talk about their destruction…”

“Who said it’s too early?” Young Yi could no longer hold back from butting in. Her tone was incredibly exaggerated. “Once news of Five Venoms working together with Wild Wolves spread out, the internet has descended into chaos. Many people are talking about whether Class One Hall is the real person working behind the scenes with Wild Wolves. Once this label is fixed on Class One Hall, Class One Hall will be treated as traitors in the Chinese server, and it won’t be long before Class One Hall falls into decline and is destroyed!”

Xu Yao was rendered speechless. When she heard Young Yi’s words, she finally put on a shocked expression.

At that moment, Happy said flatly, “It’s not that simple.”

He was not as optimistic and naive as Young Yi.

Dream Clouds would not fall into the trap so easily. Since she had Five Venoms be in charge of contacting and protecting Wild Wolves, it meant that she should have been prepared for this a long time ago, and she would have an emergency plan for her to handle the situation if Wild Wolves and Five Venoms’ relationship was revealed. Even if she did not have, Dream Clouds was not a woman who would just resign herself to her doom!

This amount of heat was not enough for him to destroy Class One Hall within a short amount of time.

When he thought of this, Happy picked up the laptop on the coffee table beside him and entered the forum on the official website, and just as he expected, the hottest topic was the battle of Nanking.

The battle replays about it were filled with the scene of the five Wild Wolves appearing outside Five Venoms and working together with Five Venoms to fight against the Chinese players.

The people who followed the threads and replied to it were all furious.

However, the target of their anger was not Five Venoms, but Class One Hall.

Perhaps the people would be a little wary of Class One Hall while in the game, but when they were online, they would not know who was on the other side of the computer and who was using that particular IP address, which was why they were completely at ease and bold in their words.

Everyone directed their attacks at Class One Hall, and without holding back in the slightest, they stated that Class One Hall was the culprit behind working together with Wild Wolves. Even though they had already destroyed Five Venoms, it was not enough. As long as Class One Hall was not destroyed, the Chinese server would forever be enveloped under Wild Wolves’ shadow.

There were all sorts of intense discussions in the forum, logical analysis, and even some who argued for Class One Hall.

As he continued reading, Happy tapped a thread called [Dream Clouds: Suing Those with Ulterior Motives].

This thread was personally posted by Dream Clouds.

Young Yi and Xu Yao could not help but get closer to Happy.

“When was this posted?”

“Dream Clouds has actually personally come up to defend herself? Looks like she also realized just how severe this thing is, and that she cannot afford to not appear anymore.”

Happy said nothing. He just read the thread, and he discovered that Dream Clouds’ words in the thread were very simple.

Five Venoms had nothing to do with Class One Hall.

Class One Hall kept emphasizing that there was no relationship between the two, and Proud over All Life was just a person who just built his own sect after he got out of Class One Hall. He was a normal friend of hers.

Dream Clouds stated in her thread that she did not wish for the people to treat Class One Hall in an unfair manner.

In the past, Class One Hall never did anything to Five Venoms because Proud over All Life was once a member of Class One Hall, and they were still friends, but she did not know that Proud over All Life would be so bold as to be in cahoots with Wild Wolves.

Dream Clouds even stated that once she learned of this news, Class One Hall had immediately mobilized forces to destroy three of Five Venoms’ branches.

In the end, Dream Clouds stated that if those with ulterior motives forcibly pushed Five Venoms’ crimes on them, the tens of thousands of Class One Hall members will definitely not accept this fate, and to protect Class One Hall’s reputation, they would kill all those with ulterior motives and who slandered Class One Hall.

“Is this considered a threat?”

When Qiu Ming read the few ten thousand red words in the thread, he found himself a little speechless.

“Forming a perfect balance between gentle words and harsh words. It’s something Dream Clouds is used to doing. These words might not cause the players in the Chinese server to believe in Dream Clouds, but it can make those Class One Hall members feel at ease.” Happy frowned a little.

Dream Clouds did not reveal her aggressive behavior, and she also used all sorts of indirect examples to show her sincerity in fighting against Five Venoms and explain her ambiguous relationship with Five Venoms. Then, she sternly drew a line between herself and Five Venoms, which was enough to make some person understand her stance and pity her.

But the most important thing was that she managed to make those internal members of Class One Hall who had been uncertain of the situation to be completely at ease.

He knew very clearly that once the internal part of Class One Hall became as sturdy as a cornerstone, it would not be easy for the people in the outside world to take down Class One Hall.

Dream Clouds made a beautiful move!

At that moment, the people who wanted to fight against Class One Hall would have to think twice. Class One Hall’s members were waiting for them, and whoever took the lead in attacking would basically die.

Based on the replies made on the thread, Happy could already tell that Class One Hall’s members had practically all come over to bump the thread. The awe-inspiring power of the Chinese server’s second strongest sect allowed them to take a steady spot at the top of the forum, and they stood in a carefree manner above all others.

*****

Happy thought about it for a while, and under Young Yi, Xu Yao, and Qiu Ming’s surprised gazes, his fingers went flying all over the keyboard, making clacking sounds all along the way.

“Are you…?”

The trio’s eyes lit up, and they quickly realized that Happy intended to launch a counterattack.

Perhaps other people would not dare to launch any sort of counterattack and did not have the right to do so, but with Happy’s current fame and reputation, he could still show up in the forum and say something.

*****

“As expected of Dream Clouds.”

In one of the top floors of an office building were Phantasmal Shadow and two of her best friends. They were reading through Dream Clouds’ thread in the forum. They had received news about this from their friends in their sect, which was why they logged off the game to come over and pay attention to this matter.

Wind Assault Tower had naturally taken part in Five Venoms’ destruction.

Phantasmal Shadow herself knew very well that Five Venoms was definitely not qualified to be one of the Chinese sects Wild Wolves would consider as their allies. They would not believe anyone who told them that Dream Clouds had not been controlling everything behind the scenes.

However, when they read Dream Clouds’ statement, which was a mix between gentle and harsh words, on the forum, along with countless Class One Hall members supporting and following her intensely, even Phantasmal Shadow found that this was a little troublesome.

Class One Hall and Wild Wolves were working together.

But Wind Assault Tower were working closely with One Emperor and Wandering Know-it-all. Their fights against Wild Wolves grew in intensity and was now like a raging fire, and Class One Hall had already been considered as one of their opposing factions.

But even they did not expect that Dream Clouds would use such a method to strengthen Class One Hall members’ confidence and morale.

Right now, even if they turn complete enemies against Class One Hall, even Wind Assault Tower would have to pay a large price for it, and they might even end up with a huge blow to their foundation of strength.

By then, they would instead give Wild Wolves the chance to enter the Chinese server once more.

“…That was a beautiful move…”

“Big Sis’ Shadow, are we just going to overlook this?”

The two coquettish and charming ladies were filled with indignation.

“I’ve never liked Dream Clouds, and just as I expected, she’s evil to the core! This time, if we don’t seize the chance to destroy Class One Hall, I’ll feel awful!”

“I want to destroy Class One Hall as well, but unfortunately, Class One Hall’s morale is high right now, and if we really fight against them, we won’t be able to benefit from it.”

“We have to think of a way, though.”

“How about making Wandering Know-it-all search for proof? Will that work?”

“Since Dream Clouds could hand over everything to Proud over All Life, she will definitely not leave behind any weaknesses for us to exploit. Proud over All Life won’t log in right now. There is no hole we can exploit from this.”

“Are we supposed to let that witch Dream Clouds control public opinion like this and gain her footing?”

Phantasmal Shadow said nothing.

Right when the three women sank into resignation and silence, an eye-catching thread suddenly popped up at the top of the forum.

“Huh?!”

The woman whose eyes were fixed on the screen opened her mouth a little, and in the next moment, her smile swiftly grew wider.

“Big Sis Shadow, look! Look at this thread!”

While she cried out in surprise, Phantasmal Shadow cast a glance at the computer screen.

In the next moment, Phantasmal Shadow grabbed the minicomputer in her hands in excitement, and her face was filled with delight.

“He took action!”

There was a new thread on the forum, and with crystal clear words, the thread quickly gained a lot of attention.

[I’m HAPPILY telling you right now that I am that person with ulterior motives, Dream Clouds!]

Those diamond cut diamond words quickly gained tens of thousands of views.

And the numbers were still climbing!
