Yangzhou City bustled with activity once more. Countless players hurried outside the city, and on their way, people could be heard talking loudly.
“They’re fighting outside the city now?”
“No way. Didn’t Silver Wolf break out? Was he caught?!”
Someone in the crowd shouted in reply, “No! I heard that someone came to receive them! More than one thousand of them came back to fight! And they’re fighting against those Towering Palace people outside the city! Whew, we’ve got a show to watch again… By the looks of it, Mu Clan is determined to fight to the end against Towering Palace!”
“They’re fighting again?! Then we’ll have to hurry up and go watch it!”
“Towering Palace really offended someone they shouldn’t…”
“Heh, it’ll be best if both sides are crippled from this. Then, it’ll be our time to shine!”
“Stop yapping and move!”
Many factions of power in the city ran out of the city.
They originally thought that once Silver Wolf and the others successfully broke out of the city, not only will it deliver a huge blow to Towering Palace’s pride, it will also be a huge blow to Towering Palace’s strength. Mu Clan cannot be considered to have lost this battle. In fact, the one who lost was Towering Palace. Right now, Mu Clan’s forces should be charging out of Yangzhou and will be waiting for the right time for revenge.
But what they did not expect was that soon after they left the restaurants, the people from the two top-class sects had started fighting again outside the city.
This was seriously, insanely violent!
Both sides had fought to the point they were overwhelmed with rage. This time, it might be difficult for them to end things cordially.
*****
When they arrived outside the city, they found that the entire plains was engaged in chaotic warfare. There were corpses everywhere, along with clashing weapons. None of the bystanders dared get close at all.
Even when they were in the distance, they could see countless saber glares and sword forces intersecting with each other!
There were Towering Palace members all over the plains, and among them were Mu Clan members and Wind Assault Tower members dashing back and forth. Those from Towering Palace simply could not fend against them at all.
More people arrived outside the battlefield to watch!
*****
“Wind Assault Tower!”
When Blood Robes found Clear Music outside the crowd, he was just in time to hear her spit out these three words, and he was shocked. “Palace Master Music, are the ones fighting against you those from Wind Assault Tower?”
“They’re just a small sect, and they dare swing their weapons against us… Vice Hall Master Blood, I seem to recall that Wind Assault Tower is one of the sects in Beijing.”
When she said this, Clear Music’s tone suddenly changed. “Right now, we’re allies, and Wind Assault Tower has also become allies with Mu Clan. What say you…?”
“Palace Master Music, don’t worry. In truth, we’ve wanted to get rid of this thorn in our flesh since a long time ago, but that Phantasmal Shadow has some tricks up her sleeves, and she has taken the initiative to provoke our hall master a few times, causing us to have no legitimate reason for fighting against Wind Assault Tower. This time, I’ll send a messenger pigeon over and ask my hall members to make preparations,” Blood Robes answered confidently.
They might need a lot of preparations against Mu Clan, but it was an easy for Class One Hall to deal with one measly Wind Assault Tower.
Flap flap flap!
A messenger pigeon flew into the sky!
A few minutes passed.
Blood Robes took out the letter. When he opened it, he instantly frowned. “This woman… She’s indeed a little troublesome…”
“What’s wrong?” Clear Music could tell that something was off. “Are things not going smoothly?”
She knew Class One Hall’s strength well, and if Blood Robes said that someone was troublesome, it might mean that whatever he wanted to do was not going well.
Blood Robes heaved a long sigh and tore the letter before he stared into the distance and said, “Before Wind Assault Tower attacked, they have already shifted their headquarters. They seem to have built a new branch recently, and they deliberately chose a place where there are no branches from our hall around. Besides, there are only a few low-ranking members who are in charge of guarding their former headquarters. Looks like before she attacked, she has already made ample preparations.”
Clear Music was stunned silent, and she gave up as well.
As of current, it was impossible for her to ask Class One Hall to send a large group of people to deal with Wind Assault Tower. Even if they did manage to locate them, the war over this side might have already ended.
Right now, it was not appropriate for them to ruin their plans to deal with Mu Clan for someone inconsequential.
“Our current situation is becoming increasingly disadvantageous for us. Once Wind Assault Tower appeared, Mu Clan has more than two thousand elites added to their ranks out of the blue. If we can’t destroy them within a short period of time, once Happy arrives, it’ll be difficult for us to stop Mu Clan in their tracks.”
Blood Robes fell silent.
This was something he knew very well as well.
But reality was indeed vastly different from what he planned.
He did not expect that Happy will still remain alive even after he was blasted by a Heavenly Lighting and Fire, and he did not expect that after they used the second Heavenly Lightning and Fire, Silver Wolf still managed to lead his people out of Yangzhou. He also did not expect that One Emperor and Wind Assault Tower will appear.
“Right now, we can only rely on those people from Dragon Sect.” Blood Robes spread his arms in resignation.”They’re our last hope now. As long as we can get rid of the people from Mu Clan and Wind Assault Tower before Happy arrives, we will still have a chance to turn the tides. We’ll have the people from Dragon Sect attack Happy, and the rest will be holding him back.”
Clear Music said nothing. Her face was solemn, but she also knew that this was the only thing they can do for now.
*****
The Dragon Sect elites were not very successful in their attacks in this chaotic battle.
Even though Wind Assault Tower did not have an advantage in numbers, once they were united, it was very difficult for the Dragon Sect elites to succeed in their ambush. After all, they had pretty good equipment, and they were also quite strong.
Meanwhile, there were already very few Towering Palace elites remaining, and those who can work together with Dragon Sect were few and far in between.
After gaining the upper hand multiple times and nearly killing their targets, most of their targets will be saved by their friends, and then, they will be caught up in a new fight.
Time passed.
The government-made road became even more chaotic.
When the people from Towering Palace finally surrounded Wind Assault Tower from the back and completely encircled them, their advantage in numbers became greater, and they finally began suppressing their enemies.
The black mass of people pushed forward from the flanks and the back!
The plains were filled with the cries for murder from the Towering Palace members!
The Wind Assault Tower members were mostly caught in a situation where they had to fight against a large number of people, and they were caught up in an absolutely defensive and passive situation.
Some people began to release arrows and hidden weapons from the back.
While the sounds of air being sliced tore through ceaselessly, a continuous string of Wind Assault Tower members fell to the ground dead.
Phantasmal Shadow, Wu Kuo, and the others saw this. They felt anxious and could not stop staring into the distance.
But Silver Wolf, Little North, and the group Mu Clan elites did not care about this at all. They continued to slaughter their way into the main forces, showing a stance where they ignored death and only wanted to kill their enemies.
“Our people won’t be able to last. Why isn’t Happy here yet?” Wu Kuo was anxious.
Phantasmal Shadow was also blocking arrows by flinging her whip while she frowned. “With his speed, he should have already joined the battle. Did something happen to him on his way here?”
The time for Happy to show up was later than what she expected.
“This is bad! If this continues, all our members will die! At that time, even if he comes, it’ll be useless.”
The Wind Assault Tower members gradually forced to gather together. While they did their best to fight back, they formed a circle and stalled for time.
When Clear Music saw this scene from the distance, she finally released a long breath of relief.
Once they had successfully encircled Wind Assault Tower and Mu Clan, the situation was basically set in stone, and the battle will immediately come to an end.
“Even if Happy arrives now, with his power alone, it’s impossible for him to change the situation unless he mobilizes his forces from the south—”
Before she finished speaking, a familiar voice with a mocking tone traveled into her ears.
“Is it?”
Dozens of swift sword rays of light suddenly shot forth from the back of the group! The group of Towering Palace elites who protected Clear Music had not even managed to activate their body fortifications and were all instantly killed. They fell before Clear Music, who turned her head around and was struck with terror.
