Chapter 1092: Yin Weed Faction’s Nest
Slap!
When she heard about the news from the south of the Chinese plains and the areas from Changjiang, Dream Clouds shattered her umpteenth chair, but they were never able to last long under her hands.
Once she saw that the messenger did not even dare breathe loudly in front of her, Dream Clouds finally noticed that her reaction was a little extreme. She sucked in a deep breath and told the messenger to leave before she turned around resolutely. Her face as she faced the wall quickly turned pale to dark, and her expression was incredibly sour.
In just one short day, the situation at the south of the Chinese plains and Changjiang became even worse. Her people were constantly being attacked, and ever since she received news of the attacks since yesterday, she had been receiving so much bad news that she no longer knew how many of them she received. Besides, the situation was still taking a turn to the worse for her, and the frequency of such news coming at her just kept increasing instead of decreasing.
Thud thud…
The sound of footsteps rose behind her.
Dream Clouds sucked in a deep breath and said without even turning her head around. “If it’s just about us being assaulted, you don’t have to tell me. Immediately notify Alliance Master Blood Robes and have him come here. Tell him that I have something to discuss with him.”
The person stopped moving, and a familiar voice rose in the hall. “I know about the situation. Blood Alliance isn’t in a much better condition than Class One Hall.”
When she heard this, Dream Clouds turned around resolutely. The person who came over was Blood Robes. His face was just as grave, and he went straight to the spot he usually sat. “I have to admit, we miscalculated again. Happy’s move is too vicious!”
“I don’t know which idiot suggested yesterday that Happy doesn’t have the experience or ability to govern a sect and told me to use the money he has to drive a wedge in Lovely Land as well as slander Happy’s name. Look at the situation now! He threw that fifty billion taels of silver right at our heads, and in one day, more than ten thousand people from Class One Hall are killed, and those who attacked are not from Lovely Land, but the solo players who don’t even have a sect!” The more Dream Clouds talked, the more agitated she became. She spread her fingers before she clenched her fist, wanting badly to grab something so that she could vent her anger.
“How many people did we lose?”
When Blood Robes heard Dream Clouds tell him the number, he was also shocked. He could not help but suck in a deep breath. “I originally thought that it’s already bad enough that Blood Alliance lost four thousand people, and that’s why I came to you to see how’s the situation at your side. I didn’t expect… By what I can tell, the situation from the twelve Beijing sects might be even worse than ours.”
Dream Clouds nodded slowly.
Class One Hall and Blood Alliance were both stronger and more intimidating than the twelve Beijing sects.
Right now, if these passersby would dare to attack the giants that were Class One Hall and Blood Alliance, they would definitely dare to attack the twelve Beijing sects, considering the fact that they were just slightly larger than a normal large sect.
Just as they expected, when the two reached this point of the conversation, a few sect masters hurriedly came into the hall.
“Hall master! Oh, Alliance Master Blood Robes, you’re also here?”
“This is great! It’s good that you’re here! Something terrible happened!”
Two of them could not help but begin causing a ruckus the moment they entered the hall.
“You have no idea how many people we lost in just one day. When our subordinates made a tally, I thought that he was telling me how many people we lost during the battle at Beijing.”
“We lost thirteen thousand people!”
“What the heck?!”
“What is this? A rebellion?!”
“We lost twelve thousand people on my side, along with a branch.” Yuan Zhixiong was filled with grief and indignation, and he stood at the center of the hall with his hands on his hips. He looked as if his anger had not abated.
“Sect Master Yuan, let’s sit down and discuss this slowly.” Blood Robes cast a glance at Yuan Zhixiong and suppressed the scorn in his heart before he said, “You’re not the only one. Blood Alliance and Class One Hall also suffered significant losses.”
“Huh?”
Yuan Zhixiong and the sect masters who came together all looked shocked. “Where did the attacks come from? Why don’t we just group our forces together and send them out so that we can surround and kill these bastards?”
“How are we supposed to surround and kill them?” Blood Robes found himself rendered speechless. He rolled his eyes at them. “These solo players have all made plans. They deliberately chose places that are easy to attack. They either attacked at the borders to the south, which means that they attacked our people near Wind Assault Tower’s territory, or to the north of Changjiang River Basin, which is close to the borders of Lovely Land’s territory. Once they ambushed and killed out people, they immediately went into hiding or went into Lovely Land and Wind Assault Tower’s areas to protect themselves. We can only kill them if we also fight against Wind Assault Tower and Lovely Land at the same time.”
When they heard this, the sect masters instantly calmed down.
They knew very clearly that Class One Hall was not in a condition where they could fight head on against either forces, and they did not have the capital to do so either.
Yet still, they could not accept it.
“But if we don’t do anything, won’t this just add to Lovely Land and Wind Assault Tower’s power and weaken how intimidating we are to the people? By then, there will be even more people who will follow the trend.”
“Then limit the movements from your people. Have them be on guard during this period of time and not stray off from their groups. Once Evil Emperor comes out, we’ll definitely take revenge!” Dream Clouds, who sat in the seat of honor, listened to their grumbles with a dark face, and once they were done, she finally spoke. Her words were simple and delivered with a stern tone.
It was only then that Yuan Zhixiong and the others noticed that Dream Clouds’ expression was actually not good. They looked at each other.
“Alright.”
“There’s still two days left. We’ll just have to hide for two more days.”
As he spoke, Yuan Zhixiong noticed that Dream Clouds’ face instantly turned as dark as a thundercloud. He was stunned.
“Urk… let’s go.”
He noticed that he had said the wrong words, and he quickly tugged the sect masters before he left.
She stared at Yuan Zhixiong and the others leave through the door, and it took some time before Dream Clouds recovered.
“Now, at least we know that there is someone in Lovely Land who knows how to manage a sect, and he or she is doing pretty good in handling the situation. That person’s abilities in handling the sect is even better than Ji Feng. In the future, we cannot underestimate Lovely Land. After Evil Emperor comes, we must immediately destroy it and prevent Happy from creating the second Wind Assault Tower!”
Blood Robes nodded quietly.
After some time, Blood Robes seemed to have remembered something, and he looked up. “By the way, Happy hasn’t personally led a team to ambush us since yesterday. Instead, One Emperor has been appearing rather frequently. I think that we need to pay attention to this. Happy might be prepared to do something.”
“Evil Emperor will come out in two more days. It’s impossible for Happy to not know about Lovely Land’s current situation and it’s greatest weakness, and he’ll definitely do something about it. Perhaps before Evil Emperor comes out, he will break off all means of our escape by ambushing Beijing. It’s highly likely that this will happen.” Dream Clouds nodded with a somber expression. Her tone turned very serious. “Have our people keep a close eye on the players who have come to Beijing and left recently. Before Evil Emperor comes out, nothing must go wrong.”
Just when Dream Clouds and Dream Clouds quickly exchanged views with each other to strengthen the defenses around Beijing as well as coordinate the monitoring system around the area, Evil Emperor finally received news from Wild Wolves while he remained in prison.
In just one day, forty-eight top-class elites from Wild Wolves were ambushed and killed by mysterious Chinese passersby and solo players. Even though this was not enough to shake Wild Wolves’ core, the elites they recruited from other countries suffered huge losses. Situations where they were killed because of surprise attacks constantly happened.
With the recent changes in the situation within the Chinese server and how fast Lovely Land became stronger once Happy built it, Evil Emperor became unprecedentedly anxious while he remained in jail, as if he felt the situation pressing down urgently on his back. He could not help but want to immediately want to leave this dark place.
[Have everyone be on guard, and they are not to stray off from their groups. Wait for me to come out!]
Evil Emperor sent a letter to Carlson. [What’s Happy doing right now?]
[I don’t know. This person is incredibly cunning. Every single time, he will use a human skin mask to hide from me. Unless he appears on his own, I basically can’t locate him.]
Evil Emperor’s expression turned dark. [This guy… Even though I have one more day before I leave, for some reason, Happy has suddenly vanished for more than one day, and he never showed up. I just keep feeling that something ominous is about to happen.]
[I, too, feel that he’s definitely setting up something in secret in preparation for us,] Carlson replied.
Evil Emperor did take up his brush to write a reply. He just mumbled under his breath, “I’m not afraid if he’s making preparations to fight against me. In fact, I’m looking forward to it. After all, after I died this time, I gained quite a lot of opportunities, and my strength also increased. It won’t be a problem for me to win against him. But that person has never been someone who will just sit around twiddling his thumbs.”
He just kept feeling that things were not simple when Happy had suddenly disappeared on his own from the people’s gazes.
*****
Evil Emperor’s guess was correct.
Once he came back from the world three years ago, Happy did not just bring back a suggestion from Xu Xin, he also brought back quite a lot of information.
After he set up the revenge fund, Happy handed over the management of the fund to the Three Lonely Wolves, Tea Words, Phoenix Dances, and the others. Then, with familiar ease, he became a leader who did nothing to lead the sect, and he disappeared once more from the people’s eyes.
However, when Happy left this time, he found the place where Evil King hid himself. It was the nest for Yin Weed Faction, which was built in the depths of a naturally formed mountainside not far away from Beijing.
In truth, this was a piece of information Happy obtained from the other Wandering Know-it-all.
After Evil King left with the stone plates while heavily injured, he went to Yin Weed Faction’s nest immediately and used Empress Yin’s strength so that he could go into isolation and heal while he went on to understand the secrets in the stone plates.
It had just been half a month since the Shi Zhixuan here obtained the stone plates, and while Happy did not know whether Evil King managed to understand the secrets in the stone plates, he was not far from the place, so Happy did not mind going over.
Whoosh!
Right when he entered the natural mountainside where Yin Weed Faction set up their nest, a bright sword light shot out from the dark mountainside. It went straight for Happy’s throat, and the person who attacked him was resolute and determined.
‘As expected of the evil cult’s style.’
But Happy’s state of mind did not change. He swung his hand, and the person’s weapon shifted into Happy’s hand.
“Who are you?!” The evil cult disciple was astonished.
Naturally, he did not know that Happy had already noticed the sentry hidden between the cracks of the stone before he even launched the attack. However, he was just an evil cult disciple in Inaction Realm, and Happy could easily defeat him, considering the fact that he was not at a disadvantage even when he fought against Evil Emperor.
“Someone you cannot provoke.” When he faced the evil cult member’s question, Happy calmly put away his longsword. Then, seized his throat, dug his nails into his skin, and twisted it.
Crack.
The evil cult disciple’s neck was broken, and his limp body was sent back to the crack between the stones instantly.
Once he dealt with the sentry, Happy did not continue moving forward. Instead, he stopped moving, he looked up at a pile of black stones not too far away from his left. “Miss Wan Wan, why are you still refusing to show up even now? Are you waiting for your mistress, Empress Yin?”
Happy’s voice quickly echoed in the wide mountainside, making the place seem incredibly empty.
When his voice echoed the third time, a resentful voice finally rose from the shadows. “When my mistress said that you nearly died in her hands, did you know how much my heart ached for you…?”
