735 Barren Murderer Returns to China (1/2)
Mu Clan never relaxed in their monitoring of Towering Palace.
Silver Wolf even ordered his clan members to continuously search for the position of the twenty-nine people who did not die in the ambush against the branch to prevent them from getting out of Mu Clan's tightly-woven net once they logged in.
The surveillance not only caused the tense and frozen atmosphere in Yangzhou City to continue, Towering Palace felt as if they had a thorn stuck in their throats. They could not breathe with ease, and occasionally, they even had verbal conflicts with each other.
An incredibly hostile air filled Yangzhou City.
Mu Clan did not show any intention to retreat.
Instead, a continuous stream of elites rode on their horses into Yangzhou City from other cities. Not only did they not manage to calm everyone down, they even brought about a prewar atmosphere that foreshadowed a mighty storm that would soon reach Yangzhou City.
The people who ambushed Mu Clan never logged in.
But Mu Clan did not show any signs of treating it as nothing. They were out for blood, and Towering Palace, which always stuck to their fundamental principle to cope with ever changing circumstances,was finally unable to sit still and do nothing.
A few major events happened!
On the day the mysterious masked man in black attacked Mu Clan's branch and fought against Silver Wolf, he did not gain an upper hand in the short fight he had. Instead, his qi was continuously weakened, and he started showing signs of losing.
Once the branch was attacked and Silver Wolf resolutely left the battlefield, the mysterious masked man in black removed the mask on his face and left Yangzhou to build White Robe Sect.
Ever since then, there was no longer a mysterious masked man in black in the game, only Drifting Sword, the sect master of White Robe Sect.
Even though Drifting Sword's fight against Silver Wolf did not cause too much of a shock and did not have the advertising effect he wanted, he still uploaded the battle replay to the pay-to-view system along with the first person battle replay against Red Dust, which quickly got very popular.
On the first day White Robe Sect called out to the people, plenty of great martial artists gathered!
It was not only because of Drifting Sword's great strength, but because many people were curious about his status as a martial artist and hoped to learn something from him.

When Mu Clan's branch flag was shot down, dozens of Mu Clan members had charged out with a whoosh and stared at the group of people outside the sect with hostile glares.
”Who are you, and how dare you cause trouble at Mu Clan?!”
The group did not move.
The leader with the Bamboo Hat took a few steps forward calmly, and his tone when he spoke was very calm. ”Haha… Mu Clan, you sure are very famous. When I was in Persia, your name was mentioned there as well. As expected, your fame spreads far and wide.”
When he said that, his tone suddenly changed. ”But you didn't recognize me? That's really saddening.”
The man suddenly turned into an afterimage and vanished from his original spot before reappearing on the stairs of the branch. He was incredibly close to the Mu Clan members.
Clang! Clang!
Everyone was shocked. They immediately sensed that there was something off about this person, and they quickly drew their weapons.
The person had definitely come to cause trouble!
”Hurry up and notify the three branch masters!”
”Branch masters?” The man with the Bamboo Hat chuckled. ”No need for that. I was just passing by and wanted to say hello to all of you as well as give you a reminder.”
When he finished speaking, suspicion rose in the hearts of the Mu Clan members.
”You keep hiding yourself… Just who are you?!” Someone was finally unable to hold back his anger and shouted out his question.
”You're too loud.”
No one could tell just how the man in the Bamboo Hat attacked, for they only heard a cold snort before things were over.
The Mu Clan member who spoke suddenly cried out in alarm. He was swept up by a violent gust of wind and left the ground. His body moved against his control and went toward that man in the Bamboo Hat.
The man slowly and calmly extended his hand.
”Urk!”
The Mu Clan member had shock in his eyes. It was as if he had just delivered himself into his opponent's hands, and his neck was seized in a tight grip.
”Stop!”
