640 Towering Palace’s Rise to Power (1/2)

In the next half a month or so, Happy stayed at Sky Demon Branch and obtained a drop of Fire Qilin Blood or a small Fire Qilin Scale every time he went into Sky Demon Secret Cave. Even though he only had one chance to enter every day, Sky Demon Orders were rapidly reducing in number. During the later stage of their raids, even if they killed some evil cult elders, the chances of them dropping Sky Demon Orders became lower.

They raided Sky Demon Secret Cave for more than twenty days before finishing up all their Sky Demon Orders.

The other sects welcomed spring at that moment.

However, during the days Mu Clan monopolized Sky Demon Secret Cave, they collected eight Fire Qilin Scales and twelve drops of Fire Qilin Blood. They also obtained more than one hundred Moksha Realm martial art manuals and more than thirty demon vessels.

During that period of time, Mu Clan devoted themselves to developing their strategy in Sky Demon Secret Cave and ignored everything else. They just focused on raiding the dungeon.

Class One Hall, in the meantime, had a stable foothold over the north, just like usual.

Even though Chivalry Sect's status was very stable, they were engaged in endless conflicts with local sects, and even if Wind Void as well as Lin Xiao boldly chased away groups who loved causing trouble, some of their branches still faced the dual trouble of their members not being a united front as well as the local sects attacking them. The loss of their members and resources was very great.

However, since Mu Clan was in most of the regions where Chivalry Sect resided, as long as Mu Clan came out to mediate the situation, they could still stabilize it. Hence, even though unrest exploded from within and its impact was incredibly great, Chivalry Sect did not reach a point where everyone's spirits would be crushed and fall apart. Compared to their situation in Happy's previous life, the trouble they faced was very minor.

Because of what was going on, the three great leaders of Chivalry Sect learned from Mu Clan. They governed their sect and branches based on regions, and the three leaders each served as garrison over one of them. They cultivated their own higher-ups and in time stabilized the situation in the south, albeit slowly.

However, during this period of time, Towering Palace, which had been lying low, began to organize frequent operations. They enjoyed great popularity in the game and outside, and they did several things that were very eye-catching.

Since they had the advantage of occupying the coastal area, Towering Palace's contact with the various forces of power from foreign countries increased day by day, and they formed quite close ties as well as relationships with a large number of powerful players from other countries!

Towering Palace served as a middleman when the locals traded with foreign martial artists. They sold martial art manuals, weapons, and equipment from different regions to the foreigners and obtained tens of billions from it.

Also, through the astonishing resources from the sea, Clear Music and Musical Note brought a group of martial artists whose strength did not lose to that of Merciless Saber and Loving Sword into the palace. Gradually, they grew stronger in the coastal area.

Some foreign guilds surged into the Chinese server at the time, and they were even more complicated than the Chinese guilds.

Many of the players who came from countries with great unrest chose to play the game in a risky and exciting manner. They were like assassins in the dark!

They were ready to give up on everything for the sake of wealth!

In their eyes, many of the martial artists in China were moving treasure chests. Third-echelon masterpieces and weapons were incredibly dazzling existences, and they were very expensive in other countries.

Hence, theft, robbery, murder, ambushes, poison, arrows, and all other methods were used.

The coastal area became the most chaotic region in China, and the game also entered its darkest period. All sorts of malicious thefts became the trend in the world of martial arts.

However, the foreign players were very particular when it came to where they would attack. They did not attract the imperial court's attention, and they kept themselves well hidden.

Every single time they committed a crime, they would stir up a large scale hunt, so they would take a ship to hide in an island before they quickly headed to another city. They were very flexible in their tactics.

All sorts of complaints rose, and during this time, quite a number of sects publicly cried out saying that they wanted to chase the foreign guilds away, but under Towering Palace's might, they could not launch many of their operations.

If they chased away thee foreign guilds and elites, they would cut off Towering Palace's path to riches.

Selling equipment to different countries had already become a way for Towering Palace to get rich quick. At that moment, if anyone chased away the foreign elites, it would be the same as them cutting off Towering Palace's money-making path, and they would become Towering Palace's enemy.

After a few sects were destroyed by Towering Palace, its authority in the coastal areas grew to the point that it carried a heavy weight. The foreign players and guilds also obtained very good land for their sects!
