  It was now in ruins.

  As the people left, the Beijing headquarters of the once strongest sect in the Chinese server which had intimidated the people in the past was destroyed.

  The mysterious cloaked person moved his long sleeves quietly.

  Light flowed, and the scene in the crystal ball instantly changed from the empty ruins to a largely damaged ground.

  The scene in the crystal ball stopped on a piece of earth.

  Shick!

  A large, black sword suddenly cut across the ground. Shattered stones flew out, and a terrifying trench was dug out the ground.

  The mysterious person in the black cloak exerted some force in his hands with slight dissatisfaction. As he did this, the crystal ball's image was strangely brought to the sky.

  The image grew clearly.

  Two people appeared in the scene.

  Evil Emperor and Happy.

  The background within the crystal ball was also revealed clearly. It was Class One Hall's headquarters.

  The mysterious cloaked person cast a glance at the situation inside the crystal ball before his movements came to a halt. A rather surprised gasp could finally be heard from the quiet and black chamber.

  This was already the third time he switched the image in the crystal ball to watch over what was going on in the fight between Evil Emperor and Happy.

  He originally thought that this normal top-class elite who had been instantly subjugated by Evil Emperor after he worked together with Flame Wolf and the rest would not be able to last for long. He did not expect that after more than ten minutes was gone, he would still be able to continue fighting against Evil Emperor, and he was showing no signs of defeat.

  The mysterious cloaked person remained silent and did not move for a total of half a minute. Then, when he saw that the two people were fighting fiercely and showed no signs of stopping, he seemed to have grown bored of watching them. So he swung his sleeve, and the scene in the crystal ball changed once more.

  This time, a few people appeared in the crystal ball.

  The group stood in front of a grand foundation.

  The mysterious cloaked person brought the angle up again, just like he did just now, so that it would be easy for him to observe what was happening nearby.

  There was a dense wave of people surrounding the entire headquarters, but the people at the back were quickly running away.

  The mysterious cloaked person stopped whatever he was doing, and he seemed to have snorted coldly and derisively.

  *****

  Nearly ten thousand people appeared outside Heavenly Heroes Sect's headquarters, and they were ready for battle.

  What caused them to be stunned was that Heavenly Heroes Sect, one of the eighteen major sects in Beijing, had no one left in the headquarters.

  They had quietly decided to leave their headquarters unfortified, just like Class One Hall did with their headquarters!

  When Phantasmal Shadow brought her people over to encircle the place, she did not have the chance to have their weapons draw blood. The worst was that the headquarters would have ten minutes where it remained invincible, and they could not even attack the foundation.

  "All the headquarters of the twelve sects are empty. This is definitely Dream Clouds' plan. She doesn't intend to give us the chance to whittle down her strength!"

  "This woman…"

  Phantasmal Shadow and One Emperor looked at each other and put on solemn expressions.

  They could not reduce Class One Hall's forces. Dream Clouds must have expected them to launch a desperate counterattack after they pushed all the sects into a corner and force them to fight for their survival. If she did this, she must definitely have another step in her plan.

  Just as they expected, a black messenger pigeon suddenly descended from the sky and landed on Ji Feng's shoulder while he stood beside Phantasmal Shadow.

  His expression changed.

  Ji Feng was not the only one whose expression changed. The people around him suddenly heard loud sounds behind them, and it seemed as if something major had happened. They turned their heads around, and they s.u.c.k.e.d in sharp breaths at the same time.

  Ji Feng was the one who personally led his people to surround Heavenly Heroes Sect's headquarters. Their people were gathered there in a dense wave, but now, countless black messenger pigeons descended from the sky. Surprised cries rose and fell, and it was as if the apocalypse descended.

  "I knew it. It's here." Phantasmal Shadow smiled bitterly and shook her head.

  In truth, when she saw that Heavenly Heroes Sect was unfortified, she knew that there was something off.

  Dream Clouds was currently very strong, and she should not be this cautious, but she had emptied Class One Hall's headquarters. Now, all the people in the twelve sects had already left their headquarters, causing Phantasmal Shadow to be unable to fight in a war of attrition.

  Right now, she sent people to attack Ji Feng's sect. It was clear that Dream Clouds did not intend to be forgiving after she gained the upper hand, and she did not want to give them even the slightest of seizing the upper hand from her. She continued to advance cautiously and use her tactics to suppress and reduce Wind Assault Tower's allies. As long as she could destroy the people from the four sects, the other sects would not dare to challenge Class One Hall.

  "We're late by one step again."

  As Phantasmal Shadow expected, Ji Feng turned his head around and wrapped his fist in his hand decisively to ask for permission to leave.

  Ji Feng looked ashamed. Even so, he spoke urgently, "Tower Master Shadow, One Emperor, I'm truly sorry. I cannot help you in this major event anymore. My headquarters has been surrounded, and the one thousand or so members I left behind to protect the place cannot possibly stop Class One Hall's advance, and I must bring my people back."

  At this moment, Phantasmal Shadow looked at Ji Feng and suddenly said something that was completely irrelevant.

  "Sect Master Ji, do you know why you were unable to make a bigger name for yourself after you became famous in the game one and a half years ago?"

  He was stunned.

  Phantasmal Shadow smiled. "When World of Martial Arts was just launched, you had grand ambitions, but as various factions rose to power, your territory slowly grew smaller. Now, you only have this small territory in Beijing left. That's why you can never achieve anything big. If you are willing to be like Dream Clouds and give up on your headquarters by asking all the people in the headquarters leave as well as retaining all your members outside here instead of going back, you will be able to produce another outcome. If you go back now, you won't be able to save anyone. Instead, you might end up dying."

  "Since Dream Clouds' people have already gone to Ji Feng's side, should we rush over now?" One Emperor did not quite understand Phantasmal Shadow's words. He cast a glance at Ji Feng while he thought about this with a frown, and he could not help but b.u.t.t in.

  "It's useless." Phantasmal Shadow s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath and shook her head in resignation. "Dream Clouds has already seized the initiative. I believe that the other three Beijing sects have been surrounded by Class One Hall as well, and they are going back to provide reinforcements. Even if we go back right now, we can't do anything to change things. Dream Clouds has already occupied the dominant position in this war. Aside from you, no one can fight their way inside. We can save one sect, but we cannot save the other three. The things we can do are limited."

  When she said this, Phantasmal Shadow looked deeply into Ji Feng's eyes. "This is all I can say. I hope that you can think about this carefully, Sect Master Ji. If you go back now, you will die. It's better if you lose your headquarters instead of your lives."

  Ji Feng said nothing. He was not an idiot. He originall
y wanted to spur One Emperor and Phantasmal Shadow into helping him defend his headquarters, but now, Phantasmal Shadow had already said those words, and when he thought deeper into things, he knew that there was no meaning behind him going back.

  "Then, what should we do now?"

  "We'll retreat and wait!"

  Phantasmal Shadow knew that Ji Feng had already made his decision. Once she said those words, she quickly wrote a letter to each of the three sect masters.

  When she turned her head around, she saw One Emperor and Ji Feng's puzzled expressions, and she explained, "If we retreat now, we can wait for the factions of power outside Beijing to provide reinforcements to us. By then, we will have the power to fight head-on against Class One Hall!"

  Right when she finished speaking, a messenger pigeon suddenly descended from the sky.

  Phantasmal Shadow quickly took the letter, and right after she skimmed through the contents, her expression turned pale, and she wayed.

  The players who rushed over from outside Beijing were ambushed one after another at various places outside Beijing. They suffered grave casualties.

  The war was progressing uncontrollably in the direction that Phantasmal Shadow did not want to see the most.

  Chapter 1059 - Wild Wolves’ Strength

  "If we continue fighting like this, even if we fight for three days and three nights, we won't be able to decide the victor." While Evil Emperor' spoke, he withdrew from the fight and retreated dozens of feet away. The killing intent in him was no longer around, and in its place were eyes that were as calm as water. He stared at the man across him, Happy's fighting spirit was still high. "Let's stop."

  "We can stop, but that is if you immediately leave the Chinese server." Happy snorted coldly, but he did not immediately chase after Evil Emperor.

  Evil Emperor was right.

  There was no longer any meaning behind them continuing to fight like this.

  One of them had Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, and his mental strength could affect his opponents as well as increase his own strength. Dao Heart had a thirty percent damage reduction effect, and he was practically an invincible existence among players at the same level as he was.

  The other had Tendon Changing Classic. After Happy mastered it, he became a monster. Right now, he had gained some accomplishments for Marrow Cleansing Classic. The change of his innate attributes to his attack and defense allowed Happy's strength to increase by another level. His defense and attack increased by a large margin, and his recovery ability also increased. Even if he did not activate true origin aura, he could fight for a long time against Evil Emperor. His Full Winds in Long Skies could also threaten Evil Emperor, causing him to be cautious and be unable to use his full strength.

  Both had fought for more than half an hour, and both had used quite a lot of recovery medicinal pills. If they continued fighting, unless one of them was the first to collapse because he could no longer last or commit a fatal beginner level mistake to reveal an opening, it was indeed impossible for them to decide the victor between them.

  When he heard Happy's words, Evil Emperor smiled arrogantly. "If you hadn't laid in bed for one and a half years, you might have the right to tell me to leave the Chinese server now, but…"

  Happy did not answer him when he said those words, but the players watching the fight by the side started making a ruckus because they could not accept what he said. Many people started shouting in the streets.

  "Enough with the crap!"

  "We have someone who can stand against you in the Chinese server now, and you want to stay here?! Hurry up and leave! Or else, by tomorrow, we'll chase all of you out, including that woman from Class One Hall!"

  "That's right!"

  "Boss Happy, chase Evil Emperor out!"

  The commotion caused the entire area to be incredibly noisy.

  These players had been watching the fight for more than half an hour, and they had completely acknowledged the fact that Happy did indeed have the strength to fight against Evil Emperor.

  Happy had already surpassed One Emperor and become the strongest there.

  Right now, when Evil Emperor said those words, it was the same as him admitting that Happy was the strongest in the Chinese server, but his words caused them to be incredibly displeased. What did he mean that Happy only had the right to say those words if he had not laid in bed for one and a half years?!

  Since Happy already had the strength to stand as equals with Evil Emperor, if Evil Emperor left, Class One Hall would not have Evil Emperor protecting them, and it was impossible for them to suppress and dominate over the Chinese world of martial artists.

  When he faced the questions and enraged shouts from the Chinese players around him, Evil Emperor did not even bother blinking. He remained incredibly elegant while he stared into Happy's eyes in a relaxed manner. "You might not be able to accept what I said, am I right?"

  Evil Emperor's smile did not fade away. He continued saying, "When I first came to the Chinese server, you weren't around. I hope that I'm not touching on a s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e area."

  Happy had no expression on his face.

  After all, his plan was just to hold Evil Emperor back. Since he did not intend to attack and wanted to just stay here to speak, he did not mind listening to him.

  Evil Emperor continued speaking, "At that time, when I came to the Chinese server, I did indeed want to conquer, but I have to admit, I didn't make sufficient preparations. There were plenty of sects in the Chinese server, and the relationship between the factions of power was complicated. It wasn't enough if I wanted to use only Wild Wolves' influence and strength alone to control the entire Chinese server, which was why I didn't ask Dream Clouds to reveal herself."

  At that point, the voices around them had gradually softened. Everyone had become attentive and listened to Evil Emperor's monologue.

  Happy said nothing, but he was slightly surprised when he heard this.

  He did not expect that Evil Emperor would have already contacted Dream Clouds at that point.

  This was because he had been busy training and taking revenge on Class One Hall, which was why he did not have a thorough understanding of Wild Wolves and Class One Hall's sudden cooperation. Now, when he heard Evil Emperor admitting on his own that he had been working with Dream Clouds for a long time, for some unknown reason, the unease in his heart swiftly grew at an unimaginable speed.

  His thoughts started flying.

  "Happy, you might only now that Wild Wolves has controlled more than eighty percent of the world's resources, that some of that is worthless, and that the Chinese server is the only place we have not taken, but you definitely do not know that for the sake of being able to step into the Chinese server and completely control it, I have practically spent all my time preparing for this moment over the past one and a half years."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/sword-among-us_13772664505174105/wild-wolves%E2%80%99-strength_49421294348845651 for visiting.

  When he said his last phrase, an incredibly arrogant and powerful presence belonging to the superior bloomed on Evil Emperor. "To be able to obtain all of World of Martial Arts, I have now taken the final step!"

  Once he said this, his gaze suddenly had his gaze turn to Happy, and he mocked him by saying, "Do you think that I will go back because of how you unexpectedly popped up? Would I actually lose this game because of one top-class player?"

  When he heard Evil Emperor's confident words, Happy suddenly understood where that unease came from.

  'Wild Wolves had always…'

  Happy's attention had always placed his full attention on Class One Hall and Dream Clouds, and since Wild Wolves were skilled in using local sects in controlling their region to completely achieve their goal, he had always ignored the great strength Wild Wolves possessed.

  This was a large, compact mercenary group that
had controlled practically all the resources in the world within just a few short years. Its strength was not to be ignored!

  But this time, when Evil Emperor arrived in the Chinese server, practically everyone's gazes were trained on Evil Emperor and Class One Hall.

  Everyone seemed to have forgotten about Wild Wolves' strength and their overall abilities.

  It had to be known that Wild Wolves was a huge organization that had managed to dissolve multiple organizations that were not any weaker than Wind Assault Tower in the world within just a few years, and they had even managed to control them.

  Class One Hall had been willing to take the risk of being condemned by the Chinese server to unify it under its name. Could it be truly because Evil Emperor had arrived? Did they really just want to do it to give Evil Emperor a gift?

  When he thought of this, Happy suddenly had a great sense of unease rise in his heart. He watched Evil Emperor as he was in high spirits and continued to speak freely. His expression grew even more solemn. "How many of you from Wild Wolves came?"

  "You finally thought of it." After he said this, Evil Emperor laughed madly. "I won't tell you precisely how many have come, but I can reveal a piece of information to you. Dream Clouds' Class One Hall, Blood Alliance, and twelve Beijing sects will only be securing and controlling the north. As for my people, we will have no problem in helping her stabilize the situation in the Chinese server for her."

  Happy's face turned pale in his silence.

  The meaning behind her words was already very clear.

  Wild Wolves might have already had a large group of elites enter various spots of the Chinese server when Evil Emperor arrived in the Chinese server, and they helped Class One Hall stabilize the strength in each of their branches. When it came to the strength of individual branches, Class One Hall was still the strongest. If they worked together with Blood Alliance's branches and the branches of the twelve Beijing sects, as long as they had top-class players serving as their garrisons, they could easily control the cities in various areas in the Chinese server and even suppress everything.
