  "Hall master."

  A group of people entered the meeting hall in Class One Hall's headquarters.

  Half a minute later, twelve Class One Hall elders stood in two rows quietly in front of Dream Clouds. The leftmost person was Monk with Thick Eyebrows. His expression was stern. However, everyone else's expression was grave and uneasy.

  "You're all here? Good." Dream Clouds s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath. She turned around in an extraordinarily impressive and dignified manner before she sat down at the seat of honor for the hall master. "I believe all of you know that this time, Class One Hall has entered a period of time that will decide whether we survive or perish."

  The twelve elders stood quietly at their spots. No one made a single sound, and their expression did not change either.

  "Originally, I wanted to wait until Evil Emperor arrives in the Chinese server once more so that we can work together and completely control the entire Chinese server. Then, I will reveal Class One Hall's final trump card. But by the looks of things now, if I don't take action, Phantasmal Shadow will work together with One Emperor and charge straight to Class One Hall's headquarters!

  "It doesn't take a long time to travel from Dragon's Gate to Beijing. Phantasmal Shadow has already started mobilizing her forces."

  When she said this, Dream Clouds c.a.r.e.s.sed the smooth dragon head on the armrests of her chair. A cold, brutal look gradually appeared in her eyes. "You can take action now. Do all that you can!"

  When the group left silently, Dream Clouds stared at the mighty and solemn foundation in Class One Hall's headquarters, which was outside the meeting hall, for a long time. Then, she slowly shut her eyes.

  *****

  Beijing was in a state of alarm!

  When all the inner hall members and outer hall members in Class One Hall were gathered together, they numbered to tens of thousands of people, and with this number of people, they practically locked down all streets and restaurants several miles within the vicinity.

  Class One Hall parties could be seen moving about the markets and streets all over the place.

  However, Wind Assault Tower had clearly also mobilized all their forces in Beijing, and there were nearly one hundred thousand of them. They spread out everywhere in Beijing, and the people from the branches nearby were also entering Beijing in an endless stream.

  Right now, the two superpowers in Beijing were engaged in a silent fight, and the intensity of the fight was gradually increasing. Each spot in Beijing seemed to be filled with thick hostility.

  All of Beijing seemed to be acc.u.mulating a huge barrel of gunpowder that would ignite and explode at any moment.

  Class One Hall was suppressing themselves, and they gradually gathered together near the headquarters.

  But Wind Assault Tower seemed to have lost their patience. The one hundred thousand people slowly drew close to Class One Hall's headquarters.

  At the same time, the people from a number of local factions in Beijing also followed closely behind them to appear in the regions near Class One Hall's headquarters.

  More than ten tables at the restaurant were filled with people, and their weapons were placed on the tables.

  "Sect Master Li!"

  "Ha! Brother Yuan, you sure came early!"

  "I'm not early. I just arrived."

  As a group of players with outstanding presences entered the place, the people inside had their eyes light up. The restaurant soon bustled with activity.

  "Brother Ma, Brother Xiao, how rare. It's been a few months since we last met! Have you been well?"

  "Haha! It's all thanks to you!"

  "Waiter, add a bench for our table!"

  "Alright, please wait for a while, dear customer!"

  The players who were walking past the restaurant and had been prepared to enter the restaurant to rest their feet saw how full the restaurant was. They could not help but feel chills crawl down their spines. Then, they turned around and left.

  But it was not strange. This was a small restaurant, and it was difficult to see great players who were at the level of sect masters appear inside on any other day. Right now, there were plenty of them in there. Any random person in the restaurant could be a sect master or vice sect master. The golden emblems on their c.h.e.s.ts dazzled the passersby's eyes.

  "Class One Hall is going to be in huge trouble this time."

  "They have to fight against Wind Assault Tower, and they're also going up against One Emperor and Happy, who are two top-class elites. Those alone are already difficult for Class One Hall to fight against them. I didn't think that there would be so many people who would join in the fun…" The players who had been resting in the corner of the restaurant since a long time ago drank with nimble movements while they spoke with each other excitedly via private messages.

  "What do you mean, 'join in the fun'? These sect masters are all ranked at the top among the eighteen sects in Beijing. Right now, eight of them are together… Class One Hall is going to be in great disaster this time…"

  "Yeah, that's what I heard as well."

  "Beijing has eighteen sects. Aside from Wind Assault Tower and Class One Hall, practically all of them have more than fifty sects all over the Chinese server. All of them possess strength that doesn't lose to Five Venoms."

  "Each of them has more than ten thousand people in Beijing! If their elites gather together, the number they will have will be twice the number of elites Wind Assault Tower and Class One Hall will have together! If this force of power assembles, they will be even more terrifying than Wind Assault Tower when they fight at full force!"

  "This time, they are definitely here to get a portion of the pie from Class One Hall."

  "Of course!"

  "Class One Hall has hundreds of branches, and the resources they occupy do not lose to Wind Assault Tower at all. This is a major pie, there's no reason for them to not want a piece of it."

  "Looks like the setup of power in the Chinese server is about to change drastically!"

  "Yeah…"

  "But Class One Hall has earned quite a lot over the past five years in the Chinese server. It's a pity that she chose to work with Wild Wolves."

  "That's a seriously stupid move."

  *****

  At the same time, Wandering Know-it-all received two guests in his mansion.

  In the pavilion was Wind Chimes, who stood quietly behind Wandering Know-it-all in her white robe. She gave off a peaceful, quiet, and ethereal feeling.

  In front of her was Phantasmal Shadow, who wore a veil over her face, was dressed fully in armor, and gave off a fierce presence, along with a person who was dressed in the classic and noble manner of a wanderer. He wore a purple robe with black borders, and his presence was like a sword. The expression on his face was aggressive, and his gaze was fierce. He stood in the pavilion, but gave off a pressuring feeling, as if he was a sharp, aggressive, and mighty sword that had been unsheathed.

  Each of them had completely different expressions and presences.

  Wind Chimes looked as if she was not involved in this at all. She stood outside the circle formed by the trio, and her attention expression made her look incredibly like a young disciple.

  Wandering Know-it-all sipped tea cooly. Even if he knew that a storm brewing in Beijing and something major was about to happen, he still remained calm and indifferent. He was not shocked, not happy, not proud, and not agitated by it all.

  Right now, with just one order, Phantasmal Shadow could send one hundred thousand Wind Assault Tower members to fight against Class One Hall in Beijing. It was impossible for her to not feel nervous right now, and she was the only one in the pavilion who was surrounded by a solemn and stern air. However, she seemed to be waiting for something.

  As for One Emperor, he was constantly giving off the air that he was a sharp and unyielding sword that could destroy everything!

  He did the same thing now, even if the enemy standing in front of him was the second strongest sect in the
Chinese server—Class One Hall!

  "One Emperor, Phantasmal Shadow, we shouldn't delay in this matter. It's best if you attack as soon as possible. We don't have a lot of time."

  Silence remained in the pavilion for a few minutes before Wandering Know-it-all manipulated the oracle bones on the stone table. Then, he looked up quietly and said, "You should know that Evil Emperor has been missing for one day. He needs at most half a month to come to the Chinese plains from the spot he disappeared, and you don't have a lot of time left for you."

  "He hasn't appeared yet." Phantasmal Shadow frowned.

  Wandering Know-it-all sighed. "A few hours have passed since the time he logged off. Something like this usually doesn't happen, so this is very unusual!

  "Since he still hasn't appeared, this means that he has already guessed what we want to do and doesn't intend to join the fight. It's meaningless if you continue waiting. Even if he returns to the game, he might not work together with you."

  "Why?" Phantasmal Shadow's face might be concealed, her clear eyes still gave Wandering Know-it-all a hint of pressure.

  "When we made our plans, we never notified him or kept him informed beforehand. He has no duty in helping us attack Class One Hall's headquarters."

  Right when Wandering Know-it-all finished speaking, another mocking voice sounded.

  "That's right. Martial artists are very prideful at times.

  "Phantasmal Shadow, your advantage is in your schemes and your influence. Happy's advantage is in his strength. You used your schemes to set him up and had him take the initiative to stir up the flames of war. Once he created the war, Wind Assault Tower easily gained all the fame from the incident. If I were in his place, I wouldn't work with you either. No one likes being set up and used."

  Only One Emperor would dare use that tone to talk to Phantasmal Shadow!

  Phantasmal Shadow felt a little wronged, and she explained. "Class One Hall has always been his enemy. What I did should not be considered as setting him up and using him. At the very most, it should only be considered as mutually helping each other."

  Wandering Know-it-all said, "Regardless of whether you were using him or whether you were mutually helping each other, Happy will definitely not join this operation.

  "Phantasmal Shadow, we have sixteen top sects in Beijing helping us. Why must we wait for Happy? While it's indeed amazing that Happy can fight against Class One Hall alone, in a chaotic battle, it's inevitable that he will need to be wary of many things. He cannot produce the effect that you expect. Don't continue wasting your time for him alone."

  "That's right." One Emperor agreed with Wandering Know-it-all's viewpoint.

  "I know that you are trying your best to preserve Wind Assault Tower's strength by making sure as many people survive as possible and that you can cut down losses, but sometimes, don't assume that you can do everything perfectly. There isn't anything in the world where you can do perfectly, anyway."

  Once One Emperor and Wandering Know-it-all persuaded her, Phantasmal Shadow finally made her decision. "Alright, since he doesn't want to appear, I won't force him. Let's carry out the plan!"

  When she said her last sentence, her voice was gradually filled with a resolute and grim tone.

  "Wind Chimes, follow One Emperor." Wandering Know-it-all also looked solemn, which was something rare of him. He turned his head around and ordered Wind Chimes.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #.-not-joining_48819575587927400 for visiting.

  She nodded to show that she understood what he meant.

  One Emperor did not say anything else either. He just turned his head around and cast Phantasmal Shadow one glance before he looked at Wandering Know-it-all and Wind Chimes. Then, he nodded and slowly walked out of the mansion.

  Wind Chimes said nothing, but she did not remain idle and swiftly took quick and short steps to catch up to him.

  Once One Emperor and Wind Chimes left, a messenger pigeon left Wandering Know-it-all's mansion.

  Chapter 1013 - Demon Breaking Golden Cymbal Music

  Boom!

  When that messenger pigeon was sent, in the blink of an eye, an army gathered together near Class One Hall's headquarters!

  Class One Hall did not react slowly to this either! Tens of thousands of people surged out of the restaurant or the headquarters.

  In the span of a breath, the two greatest factions of power in Beijing mingled together at the streets or near the headquarters.

  The people from Class One Hall and Wind Assault Tower acted like they were enemies in their past lives. They glared at each other and sized up each other hostilely. They looked like sulphur and saltpeter that were mixed together.

  Creak! Creak!

  The sound of bows being drawn rose from the depth of Class One Hall's headquarters.

  If anyone stood at the roofs of restaurants right now and stared into Class One Hall's headquarters from above, they would find at least thousands of bows being drawn, and they were all positioned very closely to each other! Each archer had at least four arrows in their hands, and when those outside saw it, they felt their eyelids twitch.

  As expected of Class One Hall…

  With the defensive stance they put on to defend their headquarters, one round of arrows alone might already be enough to kill a large group of elites.

  However, Wind Assault Tower had clearly come prepared.

  As Wind Assault Tower elites on the roof shouted loudly, the Wind Assault Tower members who had arrived at the edge of the square started moving. With a loud whoosh, each person held a huge shield in their hands.

  Boom!

  The huge shields were placed on the ground. An indestructible wall was instantly formed.

  A shield formation!

  "...Hiss…"

  The players watching in the shadows s.u.c.k.e.d in sharp breaths.

  "Steel armor and huge shields. Those are items that you only find in war. Each of them cost more than one million. As expected of the strongest sect in the Chinese server, Wind Assault Tower actually has more than one thousand huge shields…"

  Just when everyone looked forward to a horrifying and devastating fight, a group of people suddenly walked out of Class One Hall's door. The person in the lead took two steps forward. His voice was loud, and it spread out to a circular area of several miles.

  "Our hall master has something to say! Is Tower Master Shadow around?!"

  Shocked voices came from the crowd.

  "They're about to immediately wage war, so what else do they have to say? Is Dream Clouds prepared to state her will, or does she want to admit defeat because she's afraid now?

  "Hahahaha!"

  Someone from Wind Assault Tower laughed out loud.

  Before his voice faded away, the person who came out of Class One Hall's headquarters to speak had his expression turn dark. He pointed at the person who laughed and mocked them.

  "AH!"

  A Class One Hall member standing beside the person pierced through that person's throat. That person could only let out a pained scream before he died on the spot.

  "Bastard!"

  "Kill him!"

  Those Wind Assault Tower members did not expect that Class One Hall would dare to attack their people in the city's protected zone. Within a period of time, multiple people attacked and killed the person who murdered their friend.

  The accident happened quickly, and it also ended quickly.

  However, during that time, the people from Class One Hall never had their expression change. The people from Wind Assault Tower and the other factions of power fell into a state of high alarm and wondered whether they were surrounded by enemies because of Class One Hall's ruthlessness and decisiveness. After all, there were a lot of Class One Hall members in the streets. In fact, when they looked over, they saw a lot of Class One Hall members, and they could attack at any moment, just like the person they killed just now.

  "D
oes Tower Master Shadow not dare to face us, or does she feel guilty?"

  At this point, anyone could tell that his confidence was greater, and he was much more arrogant than before.

  "How cool. If you kill someone in the protected zone in Beijing, not only will you need to die once, you will also be imprisoned for a week. But if all of you in Class One Hall attacks once, the pressure I face will be much lesser."

  Phantasmal Shadow finally appeared. She spoke with a leisurely tone, and with just a few words, she dissolved the intimidating force Class One Hall had just formed.

  Class One Hall had killed resolutely just now because they wanted to create a frightening atmosphere and bring an even greater amount of fear and panic to the people, but when they thought about it, it would not be difficult to notice that Class One Hall would be sacrificing a whole lot more of their people if they wanted to kill them in the protected zone, and they would not benefit at all from the situation.

  "Hehe… I thought that you were afraid of our hall master, Tower Master Shadow.

  "Since you're here, I will convey my hall master's words to you."

  The Class One Hall member clearly did not want to continue lingering on this topic, but he did not expect that before he could finish speaking, Phantasmal Shadow had already snorted coldly and forced his words to die in his throat.

  "What is it now? Does Dream Clouds not dare to personally appear in front of me? Could it be that because her act of working together with Wild Wolves was revealed that she's feeling guilty and afraid, and doesn't dare to show up in front of the world right now?"

  The person Dream Clouds sent to speak with Phantasmal Shadow was clearly a pretty decent orator. He remained composed and said calmly, "Our hall master has mentioned that since you already have the prejudiced notion that Class One Hall is working with Wild Wolves set in your mind and are determined to slander Class One Hall and destroy us, no matter what we say, it's useless. We're only enduring through this insult, and we will use time to prove our innocence."
