481 Forces of Power in Beijing (1/2)

It only took one day and one night to travel from Henan's Mount Song to Beijing, and if the player used Hoof Shadow, they would only need half a day to do it.

Right then, there were already quite a lot of players who had Hoof Shadows. Even though it was a symbol of high class, it was no longer as attention grabbing as before. It might be because everyone had already gotten accustomed to it.

However, Beijing was not a normal city. Only those with government titles could continue riding their horses on the streets after they entered the city. The wanderers could not act recklessly in Beijing.

After all, this city was directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, and the government officials as well as soldiers were much stronger inside it. The soldiers who guarded the city gate were all in Life and Death Realm and equipped with armor. The person who served as garrison at the gate was also in Moksha Realm. It would not be easy to defeat them, but it would be easy to take too long and end up luring over countless elites from Beijing.

\”Get down!\”

Before the guard could finish speaking, Happy got down from the horse and landed on the ground. He put away his Hoof Shadow into his Horse Plate, and with a calm expression, he acted like a wandering martial artist who always went to Beijing, and was cleared. Then, he entered the city.

The streets of Beijing were much wider than those of normal cities, but they were orderly. Even though there was a huge crowd moving through the streets, since the constant stream of patrolling guards provided a great intimidating force, Happy did not see any players setting up stalls as they pleased. Hence, the shops on the sides were rich. There was a constant flow of people, and it gave off an air of prosperity.

Players with weapons or armor with three colors could be seen hurrying about through the streets. Refined weapons and armor having become a common sight was even more blatant there.

One emblem was often seen on players' chests. It was Class One Hall's three drops of blood.

They dominated the north.

There was naturally nothing that could be said about Class One Hall's strength and wealth.

They claimed that they had more than sixty thousand Life and Death Realm players, and their strength was above that of countless sects. They were a giant that numerous people could look up to.

There were two other extraordinary sects in Beijing.

Even though they could not compare to Class One Hall, their strength and effect solely in Beijing was not necessarily weaker than that of Class One Hall.

One of them was Sky Penetrating Tower whose Tower Master was Langye!

He was an elite from the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and he had carried out multiple secret missions from the imperial court. It recognized his worth, especially his contribution in saving a high-ranking imperial envoy, and broke its own rules to promote him to a vice commander of an entire troop of Embroidered Uniform Guards.

He had the right to mobilize Embroidered Uniform Guards to capture criminals in the world of martial artists as well as the right to release prisoners.

It was said that plenty of high-ranking criminals from the prison of Embroidered Uniform Guards had been secretly sent to Sky Penetrating Tower!

The other sects had to mobilize a lot of forces and spend great effort to capture criminals to fill up their sect prison, but Langye could easily use his authority to fill up his own sect prison.

Also, if anyone went up against Sky Penetrating Tower, they would be going up against the Embroidered Uniform Guards as well. No matter which city Langye went to, he would be protected, and he even promoted a group of his subordinates from the original Embroidered Uniform Guards to higher-ups in his tower.

Once they were attacked in the city, then even if it was within the \”sect headquarters\”, which was a place where brute force was allowed, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Six Doors, Eastern Depot, and Western Depot would all attack without hesitation. Hence, there were even rumors saying that Sky Penetrating Tower was the one sect that players could not provoke.

All of this combined meant that Sky Penetrating Tower might become the fifth top-class sect after Mu Clan.

The other sect was Wind Assault Tower, which was created by Phantasmal Shadow, who was the second on Phoenix Rank and a disciple of Ancient Tomb Sect.

It was entirely due to her own abilities that she was able to become outstanding in Beijing even though she had only built her sect later on.

On the first day she set up her sect, Phantasmal Shadow issued a challenge toward Dream Clouds. With her perfected whip technique, she managed to suppress Dream Clouds' Divine Flames Art. Both players were equal, and in the end, the match ended in a tie.
