Chapter 1003: Wind Blew, Clouds Moved, A Storm is Coming
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
One month since Sky Demon Branch was destroyed by Happy, people from various factions of power started to fight for the place . They entered Sky Demon Secret Cave and seized the chance to obtain the resources inside .
But Class One Hall soon used their actions to prove that they had never given up on this important resource point . On the second day since Sky Demon Branch was destroyed, they set up their branch on the very spot where the ruins of their old branch was . They also increased the number of people protecting the place to twenty thousand, as if they were showing off their might and financial strength as the second strongest sect in the Chinese server at that moment .
Fire Qilin Blood and Fire Qilin Scales in Sky Demon Secret Cave were treasures that various factions of power coveted, but due to their fear of Class One Hall’s might, they retreated from the place, and everything seemed to have returned to Class One Hall’s control .
But on this day, as Five Venoms was destroyed and all sorts of rumors spread out nonstop, certain changes happened to Sky Demon Branch once more .
The people from a large number of sects suddenly appeared near the ruins of Sky Demon Sect and Sky Demon Branch .
Among them included the people from Wind Assault Tower . Many of the people from the sects in nearby cities appeared in the region where Class One Hall had stationed a lot of people to guard .
Class One Hall members could be seen lurking at the spots where Sky Demon Apostles and Sky Demon Disciples might appear near the ruins of Sky Demon Sect .
There was practically a station once every ten steps from the area outside the ruins of Sky Demon Sect to the inside of the ruins, and those stations were filled with people .
In the past, Class One Hall used this method to intimidate the other sects and players .
When the players saw this lineup, they would usually understand what was going on, and they would sensibly choose to leave .
But today, various factions of power had gathered together, and there were tens of thousands of people among them .
The black mass of people surged into the ruins of Sky Demon Sect from all directions and approached Sky Demon Branch, and this caused Class One Hall to feel their hearts race with fear .
Class One Hall had already become used to respectful and revering gazes in the Chinese server, and they had never been treated like this before . This caused a lot of Class One Hall members to become angry, and finally, someone jumped out, unable to hold himself back, and shouted, “Don’t you know that this place belongs to Class One Hall?!”
Right when he finished speaking, a group of people walked out from the crowd .
The emblem these people wore on their chests caused the Class One Hall disciples to frown slightly .
The person in the lead snorted coldly and walked out . His expression was incredibly arrogant . “What a joke! When has Sky Demon Sect ever become Class One Hall’s private territory?!”
The crowd behind him roared in laughter to show their support .
“Is Ghost’s Domain going to be Great Whale Sect’s territory just because we built a branch near it outside the city? How ludicrous!”
Many of the people on Class One Hall’s side instantly had their expressions turn sour .

Even though hundreds of people swiftly gathered together, the people from the sects stood beside the people from Wind Assault Tower, and they showed no fear . They raised their heads and puffed out their chests, and they just stared back at them without backing down an inch!
In the past, due to Class One Hall’s fame serving as an intimidating factor, the sects would be wary of their strength, and they avoided getting close to Sky Demon Sect . But that was because Class One Hall had the right to be respected!
But now, the situation was different .
Class One Hall working together with Wild Wolves was basically fact to them at this point, and the second strongest sect in the Chinese server was in grave danger . In fact, even Wind Assault Tower had come out to declare war against them, and Class One Hall’s members were already in a state of great alarm . They were in a harrowing situation . The factions of power had now come up against them for a righteous cause, and also because they could benefit from this . Hence, they decided to follow the trend of events and did not want to miss attacking Class One Hall .
“Are you here today to declare war on Class One Hall?” Someone from Class One Hall stood out and said through gnashed teeth .
“Class One Hall, are you really so conceited that you regard the entire world as nothing? Do you really think that the ruins of Sky Demon Sect is your backyard and that other people cannot even touch it?! I’m telling you, Great Whale Sect is going to take Sky Demon Secret Cave from you today! I’d like to see whether a nobody like you has the right to represent Class One Hall to declare war against us!”
Class One Hall had originally thought about relying on the reputation of their sect and try to stop these small sects from strengthening Wind Assault Tower’s momentum .
But they did not expect that the sect master of Great Whale Sect would step out from the crowd and declare war without hesitation . Because of it, it caused the vice branch master, who had been very conceited, to be stunned on the spot .
He truly did not have the right to represent Class One Hall to declare war on a huge sect!
If this were in the past, he might have the courage to do so, but now, there was Wind Assault Tower, who was an even larger sect than they were, eyeing them greedily by the side . Besides, the sect master of Great Whale Sect was coincidentally in the crowd, and even an idiot would realize that the situation was bad right now .
The vice branch master of Class One Hall took half a step back subconsciously .
The people across him immediately burst out laughing .
“Weren’t you really arrogant just now?!”
“You aren’t strong in the slightest, and yet you dare act conceitedly in front of me?! Move to the side!”
The sect master of Great Whale Sect might only be the leader of a normal sect, but since he gained the right to compete for resources in the Chinese server, that meant that he had a few tricks up his sleeve, along with courage .
This time, he had Wind Assault Tower supporting, there was nothing he needed to be afraid of .
When Class One Hall heard the teasing laughter and mocking words from the sects across them, their expressions turned even darker . Many of them almost could not hold back from attacking .
But the people from Wind Assault Tower just watched quietly by the side .

A messenger pigeon descended from the sky .
The vice branch master caught it in time and took the letter down to read it . Then, his expression turned even more sour .
He glared at the group standing on Wind Assault Tower’s side before his gaze landed on the Great Whale Sect’s master and the others’ faces .
“You’ll pay for what you said today!”
While his face twisted into various expressions, he spat out these completely useless words, shouted an order, and left with all the Class One Hall members to head to Sky Demon Branch .
“They were scared just because of a few words!”
“That’s all there is to Class One Hall . ”
Even louder mocking words naturally rose behind them .
Class One Hall left even faster . They said nothing .
Similar events happened in every corner of the Chinese plains .
The reason behind it was naturally because of the three main threads in the forum that argued with each other fiercely tit for tat .
Dream Clouds, Happy, and Phantasmal Shadow’s words had already caused the effect from the Wild Wolves incident to increase to another height .
Naturally, the effect even extended into World of Martial Arts .
While the players hunted down the remnants of Five Venoms’ higher ups and settled the grudges they had with Five Venoms in the past, the wind of punishment brought by Happy and Phantasmal Shadow soon spread through the entire Chinese server .
Class One Hall might be strong, but when Wind Assault Tower, the strongest sect in the Chinese server personally led the attacks, the sects in the Chinese server began to spontaneously fight back against Class One Hall!
The words from various sides also became unyielding .
There were also small scale conflicts and fights everywhere .
The large scale fights that occured on that day was much more than the number of large scale fights Class One Hall had been engaged over the past half a year .
This day was destined to be the day of the greatest upheaval and unrest in the Chinese world of martial artists!
Five Venoms had been completely destroyed under the Chinese players’ wrath .
Class One Hall then became the greatest suspect of potential traitors working with Wild Wolves, and they became the target of public condemnation by the entire Chinese server .
Most of the factions of power were restless and eager to take action . They were prepared to accept change in the setup of power in the Chinese server, and they also hoped that they could gain enough benefits from it .
But right now, they still lacked a forerunner who would dare attack Class One Hall directly!
That’s right, a forerunner!
Even though everyone wanted Class One Hall to be destroyed immediately and have this sect which had commanded the Chinese server for five years to be completely destroyed, everyone also knew about the great foundation of strength Class One Hall possessed .
As the second strongest sect in the Chinese server, the distance in strength between them and Wind Assault Tower was actually very small . This was a giant which possessed hundreds of branches and nearly one million elites . They would not be able to take them down as easily as they imagined .
To normal players, they did not want to become the cannon fodder in this incident .
The sects involved also did not want the hard work they invested in their sects to go up in smoke just like that, because even if Class One Hall brought out just a random faction of their counterattack force, they could still bring about a destructive blow to them that they could not afford to withstand .
As for Wind Assault Tower, even though they were the strongest sect in the Chinese server, Phantasmal Shadow’s first choice was definitely to consider Wind Assault Tower’s own development . If they fought against Class One Hall, they would end up having to pay a devastating price .
That was why Phantasmal Shadow did not mention Class One Hall and Dream Clouds’ name in her declaration of war on the forum .
“Phantasmal Shadow is waiting for me to attack again, huh?”
Once Happy received a messenger pigeon from Wandering Know-it-all, he soon understood what happened .
As of current, the entire Chinese server had descended into an incredibly tense stalemate . Dream Clouds’ strategy in handling the situation was very easy . She would not take the initiative to attack, and neither would she defend any of her branches . However, her words to the world outside were also very firm and unyielding .
‘”If anyone dares attack Class One Hall, Class One Hall will fight back at full strength!”‘
Class One Hall did not just have nearly one million members and a great foundation of strength, they also had the Five Venoms members who were scattered outside, along with the people from Assassin Hall .
Also, they had a giant who had been keeping a low profile and had been moving about outside the people’s gazes instead of being dragged into this storm—Blood Alliance!
One of them was at the very forefront of the conflict, and the other lurked in the shadows!
These two superpowers were not something normal people could hope to touch .
Phantasmal Shadow and Wandering Know-it-all discussed with each other, and she indirectly stated that she wished Happy could stand forth to light the first torch .
[I have no problem in attacking Class One Hall, but I have a condition . ]
[You can state whatever condition you have, Phantasmal Shadow has mentioned that she will accept all conditions, as long as they do not go overboard, and as long as it’s to help fight against Class One Hall and Wild Wolves . She will agree to your conditions, even if you’re asking to mobilize a force! She will get you an army if you ask . ]
Wandering Know-it-all knew that he had already given all the help he could to Happy, and this condition was naturally tailored to Phantasmal Shadow . Hence, she was prepared a long time ago .
[Alright . I need Phantasmal Shadow to give me the authority to enter her sect prisons freely, and I want to be able to use any prison in her branches as I please . ]
Wandering Know-it-all was stunned before he answered in a dumbfounded manner, [This is a small matter . There’s naturally no problem in that . Even if Wind Assault Tower doesn’t agree to it, I will agree to your condition and provide you the sect prisons for some sects . The level of those sect prisons won’t be inferior to Wind Assault Tower’s either . ]
[Oh? Then should I think of another condition?] Happy smiled .
[…Up to you . This time, if you help Wind Assault Tower fight against Class One Hall and successfully destroy them to prevent Wild Wolves from entering the Chinese server, Wind Assault Tower should be able to control most of Class One Hall’s resources . Even if you ask for a lot more, Phantasmal Shadow will be a rich woman by that point, and just extort money from her pocket as you please . If you miss this chance, you might not get another . ]
Wandering Know-it-all reminded Happy in a straightforward manner .

Mistwalker Xyn and the Cult of Eldritch Evil
[Participant in the 2020 Royal Road Writathon Challenge] Having just graduated to adulthood, Xyn is salty about how his lackluster Awakening has resulted in his current derided status within his clan and tribe, particularly when compared to the successes of his litter-siblings. The revelation of the truth about his heritage sets in motion events leading to him traveling to human lands on a secret mission for his tribe. Cringeworthy moments and awkwardness will ensue as young Xyn (an anthropomorphic tiger-kin), raised in the sheltered life of a martial artist, navigates human society with a trusty sidekick or two picked up along the way and might just save his corner of the world while he's at it. Gore will be minimally present as needed to tell a fantasy martial arts tale. There won't be any sexual content, but mild/vague suggestive themes may occur occasionally due to the nature of Xyn's mission and his insecurities. Story should be teen appropriate.

Dragon Travels
Dragons. Mythical creatures that inspire awe and wonder in cultures all across the world. Wouldn't it be amazing to befriend such majestic beasts and go on an adventure with them? To be a dragon rider and live through a tale of epic proportions? Ryder, who's so obsessed with the idea that he nicknamed himself as such, certainly thinks so. Sadly, he lived in a world where such creatures only exist in fiction, and one where none of his peers or family shared the same passionate interest in dragons like him. Every night, he would fantasize what it would be like to live in a world where they do exist, and one day, his fantasy became reality. Upon landing in a new world, he found himself in the company of cheery and naïve plant dragon who was just as excited as him to be the companion of a dragon rider. After that, they encountered a worldly earth dragon, who followed them under the guise of guiding them while hiding her own dark secrets. Lastly, regarded by many as The Terror of The East, a dragon so powerful and terrifying that it's known as a demigod, lowered his pride in order to escape his thousand-year prison and joined Ryder's merry band. It isn't all fun and games as the Goddess who brought the teenager here has sent him on a mission - to rid the evil forces that had risen in the world and threaten the balance of the realm. Together with his three dragon companions, Ryder traveled across different lands as he found himself involved in the matters of both tragic and entertainingly eccentric individuals. So, if you like How to Train Your Dragon or just dragons in general, isekai adventure stories, and/or a found family-esque story with witty banters and interesting characters, then this is what you're looking for! Note: This is an anthology series, therefore the arcs are not presented in a linear fashion. There will be recurring characters and arcs that continues story threads from previous "chapters", but, for the most part, each arc standalone as a complete story, so you can pick and choose what you want to read. If you watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoon series before, it's basically like that.I'm still relatively new in writing, so I would appreciate it if you'll be kind enough to provide feedback!
