388 New Era (2/2)
Mu Clan was in a very dangerous situation.
*****
The destruction of Beautiful Robes Faction, the annihilation of Class One Hall's branch in Vast Martial City, the murder of Class One Hall's giant, Barren Murderer, along with hundreds of elites having their corpses strewn over the land were all news that shook the game!
Happy's killing stirred up a great wave of pride and heroic spirit that encouraged the people to live the way they wanted.
But when countless martial artists craned their necks to pay attention to the development of this matter, Class One Hall and Happy's intense clash did not happen as they expected.
Over the next few days, Happy did not continue to attack Class One Hall!
Instead, he stayed in Vast Martial City like before and continued to challenge the royal mausoleum. His actions were incredibly calm.
Class One Hall also reacted very strangely after they lost the elites from an entire branch and a heavyweight fighter who was a vice hall master. The death of Barren Murderer, who was the fifth on the Dragon Rank, made it seem as if someone had jumped out to slap Class One Hall in the face, and that was all.
Class One Hall had mobilized three branches for revenge after Beautiful Robes Faction had destroyed one of their normal branches. Yet when a large group of elites and a vice hall master were killed off, they actually acted in a calm manner. They did not rebuild their branch in Vast Martial City, and none of their people even got close to the royal mausoleum.
Both sides lived together in harmony.
This peace lasted for more than half a month, and countless martial artists were incredibly disappointed.
Beautiful Robes Faction gradually faded from people's sights, and the matter about Barren Murderer's murder also became not as significant after more than half of the Dragon Rank was occupied by Life and Death Realm players.
Everyone noticed that a new era was about to arrive!
Life and Death Realm meant new encounters and a whole new World of Martial Arts, along with more unknown territories they could explore.
While everyone went all out to train to reach Life and Death Realm, Baokang became stronger quietly. Once Beautiful Robes Hall was established, Mu Clan, which originally had less than three thousand people swiftly established three halls and now had more than sixteen thousand men.
Among them were the people from Beautiful Robes Hall, which numbered to eleven thousand.
They were the people who were originally from Beautiful Robes Hall, along with people who did not join it in the past but had chosen to act alone. Their strength level was varied. Some of them managed to reach Blessed Realm, which was of normal standards, but the hall was not lacking in elites who were trying to reach Life and Death Realm either.
Mu Clan also managed to attract more Wudang Sect, Shaolin Temple, and Murong Clan disciples to join them during that period of time. They filled up a War Hall with more than three thousand people.
The remaining two thousand were players who focused on occupations. Most of them were herbalists, ironsmiths, and tailors, with only around a dozen merchants…

On that day, Thunderous Battle rushed into the first forging room impatiently with his face filled with excitement.
”Haha, Heartless Iron, bro! Congrats! You're definitely going to get the title of the best forgemaster in Mu Clan!”
”It's all thanks to you cultivating me.”
Heartless Iron might act cold and be a man of few words, but he knew that Thunderous Battle had recognized his worth. If Mu Clan had not provided him with a large number of middle-grade and high-grade masterpieces so that he could become a Forgemaster, he would have been able to reach that level only after another month or two.
”Clan master, you mentioned before that as long as I become a Forgemaster, you will give me a surprise. I'd like to know whether that means that I can begin attempting to make third-echelon equipment.”
Heartless Iron could not suppress the excitement in his heart. With sparkling eyes, he stared at Thunderous Battle, who was smiling.
