Chapter 912 - Opening the Doors to His Mansion and Setting up a Banquet (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Happy reentered Beijing, the atmosphere there was extremely grave.
He can see Class One Hall members with hostile gazes all around him, along with the avoidant, fearful gazes of the members from the sects who were on good terms with Class One Hall.
Class One Hall had already lost the right to control more than fifty cities to the north of Changjiang, including Xuancheng. More than one hundred thousand people were under Mu Clan, Chivalry Sect, and their allied sects’ surveillance, and they did not dare to take even half a step out of the city gates. Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect were still sending an endless wave of people to advance north and expand their war achievements, and they brought the flames of war even deeper into the north.
At the same time, many of the cities within Class One Hall’s territory, including Beijing, were under the threat of the large group of fighting men sent by Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect.
And since Happy entered Beijing at this moment, he already gave off the feeling that he wanted to establish a base in Beijing and force Class One Hall into a corner.
Forget about Class One Hall being nervous, even the various forces of power in Beijing were in a constant state of fear and alarm as they wondered whether Mu Clan will completely replace Class One Hall.
*****
At the first floor of Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, which was near Class One Hall’s headquarters, were Clear Music and Musical Note. They sat across each other in a private room near the window.
The curtains around them isolated them from the gazes and voices from the outside world.
“In the past, I thought that the person with the greatest ambition was Dream Clouds, and only she had the highest possibility in ruling over the game…”
Clear Music’s voice was much calmer and gentler than before. Her cool gaze seemed to hide many secrets.
Musical Note cast a glance at her older sister, but she did not say anything.
“Three months ago, I thought that Lady Luck decided to smile on us and that Towering Palace might have the chance to expand using the advantage from the coastal area to become the strongest sect in the Chinese server.
“But it’s only now that I realized that the people who are truly ambitious are usually the ones who do not show their intentions,” Clear Music said with a mocking tone.
Musical Note lowered her head quietly.
Who would have thought that Mu Clan, who only had a few territories in Changjiang River Basin, had most of its territories mixed with Chivalry Sect, and who worked together with multiple sects to excavate resource spots will mobilize a large army in one go, move through Changjiang, and deliver a fatal blow on Class One Hall, who had a large bedrock of strength?
They made arrangements quietly and discreetly, and in the end, the entire northern part of the game was under war.
In just two days, Class One Hall was battered.
The bedrock of strength they built over the year was completely crushed.
“My dear Note, how much of a chance do you think Class One Hall will have in blocking Happy’s act of moving in Beijing and stopping Mu Clan’s offense?”
“Don’t you already have an idea, sister?” Musical Note retorted.
“I want to hear your opinion. Last time, because of my dictatorial behavior, I refused to listen to your opinions, and look what happened to Towering Palace.”
When she heard Clear Music talk about their past in a self-deprecating manner, Musical Note cannot help but look dejected.
“Class One Hall should have a hard time escaping from the disaster this time!”
“Should have a hard time escaping from disaster, huh?”
Clear Music was already prepared for Musical Note’s evaluation.
But no matter what, Class One Hall was still their ally in name, and after Towering Palace fell into ruin, they acted as Towering Palace’s shield, and right now, their shield cannot even take care of themselves, and she could not help but feel a little dispirited.
“Wind Assault Tower has been eyeing our territory for a long time. When Class One Hall falls, we will definitely be sheep ready for slaughter. At that time, we might not have a place to call our own in the Chinese server.”
Musical Note said, “That’s not necessarily true. There are plenty of sects in Beijing who have a good relationship with Class One Hall. Aside from our palace, there are also Langye’s Sky Penetrating Tower and other sects serving as Class One Hall’s allies. When they work together, the power they will form is very terrifying. If they gather together, even Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect will not really dare to fight against them, and they will not dare to state that they want to destroy Class One Hall again.”
Clear Music’s eyes lit up.
There were nearly fifty thousand people in Sky Penetrating Tower, and the other large sects numbered to more than twenty thousand people. If all of them gathered together, they will have at least three hundred thousand people with them.
“You make it sound easy. If they want to intimidate Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect, someone has to destroy Happy’s unbeatable legend or take the initiative to deliver a fatal blow to Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect, or else, most sects will not have the continue to be enemies against the powerful Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect. They will also not take the risk of total destruction to help Class One Hall.”
Clear Music instantly fell silent.
‘She’s right.
‘Even Towering Palace and we do not dare to risk staking all Towering Palace members in a gamble where the results are already clear. We don’t want to be swept into a war that involves the entire northern side of the Chinese server.
‘With our strength, we won’t be able cause much of a stir in this war that the world has never seen. In fact, we might even be crushed immediately.’
At that moment, the two women suddenly heard a rather large commotion at the street beneath them.
Rumble!
Dozens of cavaliers charged through the street in a mad dash.
“Wandering Know-it-all will open his mansion for a banquet! He invites all the famous players in Beijing to his banquet!
“The strongest player in the Chinese server, Happy will attend the banquet!
“Clan master of Sky Penetrating Tower, Langye will attend the banquet!
“Clan master of White Horse Sect, Luo Baima will attend the banquet!
“Ximen Chuixue’s ace disciple, Responsible Hero will attend the banquet!
“Quick Saber, Young Master Li will attend the banquet!
“Vice hall master of Class One Hall, Barren Murderer will attend the banquet!”
*****
Rumble!
Those dozens of cavaliers raced down the street of the restaurant, leaving behind a group of people who shouted in so much excitement that they actually infused qi into their voices. Their voices clearly entered the restaurants and shops nearby, attracting countless players to come over and check.
Some were rendered speechless.
“Wandering Know-it-all is throwing a banquet?”
“What does that mean?”
Clear Music and Musical Note saw the solemn look in each other’s eyes.
Wandering Know-it-all had a transcendent status in the Chinese server, but the doors to his mansion had always been shut tightly. There was a limit to the number of people he received per day, and the price for them to enter was incredibly high. Yet this time, he chose to open his doors and set up a feast when Happy entered Beijing to decide the victor between him and Class One Hall, and Wandering Know-it-all even invited all the famous people in Beijing to the feast. His action was indeed a little thought provoking.
