760 Phantasmal Shadow Arrives at the Stage (1/2)

”Palace master!”

”Our members are too far away. If we chase after them, we might be in danger.”

”What a load of bull!” Clear Music threw a tantrum to a group of elders while she was on Yangzhou City's city walls. ”We had twenty thousand of our own die when we surrounded that measly Mu Clan branch with more than sixty thousand people, and we even let a group of them escape. When this gets out, how will we face the people in the future?!”

A few of them braced their courage and continued to advise her. ”But palace master, Happy will reach Yangzhou very soon. If we chase after the remnants out of the city, the headquarters will be in danger.”

”Happy?”

But it would have been better if the elders did not mention that name, because once they did, Clear Music's expression changed, and she felt the anger in her chest churn. It was difficult for her to calm down. ”It'll be good if he came!”

Clear Music had been frustrated that she had nowhere to vent her anger.

This time, even though her actions had been instigated by Dragon Sect and Class One Hall, causing her to wage full-on war with Mu Clan, Happy's fearless and harsh tactics had thrown her off guard, and it was hard for her to withstand his attacks.

Towering Palace lost dozens of branches at the south of the coastal area, and it was as if Happy cut off a large part of her flesh and blood from her body. Right now, her attack against Mu Clan's branch was also unsuccessful, and she was both afraid and hateful of Happy!

She wanted badly to swallow him whole!

Right now, when she heard that Happy was about to come to Yangzhou, she did not bother about anything else. Her first reaction was to mobilize all forces so that she can kill Happy and those remnants in Yangzhou.

When the elders heard it, they looked at each other in stunned silence.

'Do you really think Mu Clan is just an empty but beautiful vase?'

”Don't worry. Right now, Mu Clan's forces at the south are busy dealing with our old branches. The elites at Changjiang River Basin and the headquarters have to fend against Class One Hall marching south. The Yangzhou branch also lost a large group of elites. Right now, even if Happy fights against us, he will not be able to mobilize a lot of forces. Besides, based on reliable sources, he's currently coming here alone. He did not ask any of his other branches to mobilize their forces. Hmph!” Once she said this, Clear Music's tone changed. ”We have our friends from Dragon Sect and Class One Hall helping. Are we to be worried that we can't even get rid of Happy?”

The group of Towering Palace elders sucked in a deep breath when they heard Clear Music's words, and their minds instantly began moving.

'If everything was just as Clear Music said… we might be able to fight this war.'

”Tell Grim Green and Vast Heaven that they are to bring some men to chase after Mu Clan's remaining forces!”

”Understood.”

[Wind Chimes died.]

[Feng Zhi died.]

[Silver Wolf is trapped.]

[Our branch in Yangzhou is destroyed.]

[Little North is trying to get out of the city with our remaining members. They're currently chased down by a large group of Towering Palace elites!]

[Thousands of our dead friends who are revived are surrounded in the different Guanlin Temples in Yangzhou. They can't leave the place and can only log off for the time being.]

The bad news that came one after another struck at the hot blood raging in Happy's chest. Gradually, it was as if there was a flame burning in him, but it slowly turned as cold as ice. The only thing that did not change was that Hoof Shadow's speed remained at the max.

'It's not far away now! I'm already very close to Yangzhou!

'If Hoof Shadows runs from night until day, I'll finally reach Yangzhou!'

”Hang in there!”

Another half an hour passed, and a messenger pigeon flew into the sky.

Within a forest outside Yangzhou City was a graceful and pretty figure with a white veil over her face. She had her back turned toward Wu Kuo and the others while she slowly folded the letter in her hands.

”Lil' sis.”

”Tower master, how is it?”
