457 Title (1/2)
Ever since the battle at Eternal Peace Temple, Happy vanished from the eyes of the players once more. This time, he did not show up for a full half a month, and Class One Hall suffered through it in great unease.
The three monsters of Class One Hall never left Beijing, and every day, they trained in their prisons without stop. Even Zhou Yu went to the north…
During that half a month, a slight change happened to the setup in World of Martial Arts.
Chivalry Sect was the leader to the south of Changjiang, and they rapidly increased their original forty or so branches to more than seventy. They spread out through various important cities, and many sects who had once served under Class One Hall switched to obeying Chivalry Sect.
Fortunately, Chivalry Sect was not as uncompromising as Class One Hall. They set up an alliance with one or two of the greatest sects in each city and shared the core resources with them. Hence, Chivalry Sect had a much smoother time in getting the resource points they wanted compared to Class One Hall, and they were also much more supported by the other gamers.
The area south of Changjiang became a solid fortress because of Wind Void, Lin Xiao, and Red Dust's management!
The trio also gained different titles in the game.
Wind Void became Mandarin Butterfly Heroine Duchess. Since her contribution to Chivalry Sect was not as great as that of Lin Xiao and she lacked the resolution to kill, mighty determination, and sufficient wariness, she was not suitable to be crowned an empress.
Lin Xiao then became Moral Chivalry Duke and Red Dust was named Monk of the World Red Dust.
*****
Naturally, the area north of Changjiang was still controlled by Class One Hall.
Even though Vice Hall Master Blood Robes died in Eternal Peace Temple, which resulted in three top-tier players and a group of strong fighters losing their reputation to a point like never before, it was still not enough to damage Class One Hall's foundation. Besides, once the disciples from the branches in the south were called back, Class One Hall became even stronger than before in the north. Nothing could move them there.
Dream Clouds attacked mercilessly.
She swiftly destroyed two large sects, and the people in the north who had been discussing Class One Hall's failures stopped bringing up that topic.
After all, people who were skilled were always better than those who were not or had just mastered a skill even if they suffered some setbacks. Besides, only some superficial parts of Class One Hall were damaged. They were still a roaring tiger!
Even though they failed in Eternal Peace Temple, some people with keen eyes in the game had incredibly high appraisal of Dream Clouds. If Happy had not appeared, Chivalry Sect would have fallen from the top of the pyramid and become a powerful but normal large sect. There was a change they might have ended up even worse than that.
Dream Clouds' encirclement there could be said to have been full of determination to destroy Chivalry Sect's foundation!
Three of the most outstanding leaders of Chivalry Sect had gathered in one place, and Tang Feng had led people from Assassin Hall to kill Red Dust.
Five of Class One Hall's best—Blood Robes, Zhou Yu, Child's Heart, Evil Wolf, and Monk with Thick Eyebrows—were sent together with the people from Perpetual Joy Sect, which should have made it impossible for anyone from Chivalry Sect to escape.
Once the three leaders of Chivalry Sect died, Class One Hall could instantly destroy all of Chivalry Sect branches in the north before they mobilized their forces to invade Changjiang and suppress Chivalry Sect until they could not fight back.
Mu Clan might do something while they were in Baokang, but their power when it came to fighting war and providing reinforcements was low. If they went out of Baokang, they would lose the support of the three local sects and become unable to turn the tides.
Hence, after the fight at Eternal Peace Temple, many people compared Dream Clouds to a fierce tiger who hid herself behind the scenes and would show her fangs at any moment. She became known as the fire goddess and the ruthless Cloud Empress Dream Clouds.
Zhou Yu's abilities could not be doubted, but it was a pity that he had fled during the battle at Eternal Peace Temple, and his glorious image was damaged slightly.
The players called him Zhou Lang Junior [1], or rather, Divine Spear Duke Zhou Yu, who was Zhou Lang Junior who fled a battle.
Blood Robes and Barren Murderer each died once due to Happy, but both were successors of an ultimate technique, and their abilities could not be questioned, so each of them was also given the title of duke.
The successor of Star Sucking Great Skill became Star Duke Blood Robes. It was different from Happy's previous life when he was known as Star King.
The Undying Abyss King Barren Murderer who died once turned into Abyss King Duke. In Happy's previous life, he was known as Abyss King.
*****
Even though Changjiang served as the borders for Chivalry Sect and Class One Hall, they did not manage to stop the development of another mighty sect—Towering Palace!
They were the greatest market makers in the cities in the coastal area. Towering Palace never joined the conflict between Chivalry Sect, and they did not show any intention to side with anyone. They only focused on developing their branches in the coastal area.
