Chapter 1057 - One Emperor Enters Beijing, the Headquarters Falls! (2/2)

Every time she received news from Wu Kuo, Phantasmal Shadow would be incredibly excited.

The longer the fight went, the greater it would prove that Happy could hold back Evil Emperor! Because of it, when they counterattacked, it would be impossible for Evil Emperor to appear on the frontlines of the battle.

Flap flap flap.

A messenger pigeon descended from the sky.

Phantasmal Shadow cast a glance at it before she handed the letter to a trusted friend. “The sect master of Anyang’s Wind Spirit Sect sent a letter over.”

The friend said nothing, just took the letter over in one familiar motion.

Over this period of time, as news of Evil Emperor’s arrival appeared, more sects reacted to the news and stated that their people were rushing over to Beijing.

There were a lot of sects who sent letters over, and Phantasmal Shadow was too full occupied, to the point that she could spare time to reply to them. Hence, she handed the task of writing replies to her best friends.

At that moment, a sword will that charged into the sky from the horizon pressed close to Guanlin Temple and attracted Phantasmal Shadow and many people’s attention.

“He’s finally here!”

The Wind Assault Tower members in Guanlin Temple stood up, and they had surprise and delight appear on their faces.

“One Emperor is finally here!”

Only Phantasmal Shadow had a complicated gaze as she watched the figure rush to her. She could not help but sigh softly in her heart.

Whoosh!

The sound of his sleeves fluttering were like that of a sword cutting through air.

One Emperor charged as quickly as lightning, and he landed in front of Phantasmal Shadow like the tip of a sword cutting into the ground. His face was covered in dust, and his expression solemn. He originally wanted to say something, but he saw the dejected look on Phantasmal Shadow’s face, and he subconsciously swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue. He frowned a little and turned around and survey the area. The dense wave of people standing in Guanlin Temple caused his gaze and his heart to become even graver.

“I was too late.”

“It’s not your fault.” Phantasmal Shadow knew that One Emperor was blaming himself for not returning sooner. She smiled bitterly and said, “I was too careless. Class One Hall was already attacking Wind Assault Tower, and I should be more careful. I should have even notified you to come back sooner, but I was caring too much about the details.”

One Emperor sucked in a deep breath and changed the topic. “What’s going on in the headquarters now?”

The people next to Phantasmal Shadow could not hold back from answering now. With just a few words, he told One Emperor what was going on in Beijing.

“Happy’s strength has indeed improved by a large margin. If I had returned in time, perhaps Wind Assault Tower would not have been destroyed.”

One Emperor might have heard some news when he was coming over, but most of the time, he only heard about the general progression of events. He did not think that Happy would be able to hold back Evil Emperor and even kill a large group of top-class elites.

“Let’s not talk about that anymore. We’ve already given up on Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters, because even if we go there now, we can’t turn the tides. Class One Hall has already locked down the area, and if we go in, we’ll be engaged in a chaotic fight. Our people are also injured,” Phantasmal Shadow explained.

One Emperor scowled and nodded. Then, he asked, “Where is Happy?”

“Class One Hall’s headquarters. He’s fighting against Evil Emperor.”

“He’s fighting against him alone?” One Emperor tensed up. He was not quite able to stand still right then, and his sword will started growing stronger.

“Yeah, they’ve been fighting for nearly ten minutes now.” A trusted friend beside Phantasmal Shadow interrupted.

One Emperor was shocked once again. The sword will around his body shrank a little.

Phantasmal Shadow naturally knew why he was so shocked, but time was valuable right now, and she could not afford to waste anymore of it. She went straight to the topic and said, “Right now, the factions of power near Beijing have gathered in the city. There are fifty-six sect masters who have stated that they are willing to listen to my orders! At that time, they’ll work with us to counterattack and fight against Class One Hall!”

“That’s good.”

“But the number of people from each sect varies, and their overall quality of strength is below Class One Hall. Besides, we don’t have a lot of people on our side, and it’s not enough for us to launch a full-frontal assault. That’s why I’ve already notified them to head to the headquarters of the twelve sects. Evil Emperor is at Class One Hall’s headquarters, and Happy can hold him back. We don’t have to go there and cause a scene. I intend to take down the twelve Beijing sects’ headquarters first and we’ll clip off Dream Clouds’ wings one by one!”

“That’s a good plan.” One Emperor’s eyes lit up. “No matter how good Dream Clouds is, it’s impossible for her to protect the twelve Beijing sects at the same time. Phantasmal Shadow, tell me, where do you want me to go? Should I work together with Happy to fight against Evil Emperor or help you fight against Dream Clouds?”

His original goal was to fight against Evil Emperor, but right now, Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters was about to be destroyed, and in his guilt and shame, he wanted to contribute to the fight so that he could mend his mistake. He would act according to the overall situation.

“Evil Emperor is strong, and it’s difficult for anyone to win against him, but he’s prideful. Right now, he’ll definitely be feeling embarrassed that he can’t win against Happy even after fighting against him for so long. If I send you to fight with Happy against him, we will be giving Evil Emperor an excuse. By then, it’s hard for us to guarantee whether Dream Clouds won’t send people over to interfere, and we’ll just be ruining Happy’s chance,” Phantasmal Shadow thought about it and explained.

“We’ll forget about Evil Emperor for now and focus on fighting against the twelve Beijing sects. We’ll wait for more reinforcements to enter Beijing, and we’ll encircle Class One Hall!”

“Alright!”

Right when they finished speaking, another messenger pigeon landed on Phantasmal Shadow’s shoulder. She took it down and read it. Then, she was first delighted before she smiled coldly. “Those cowards have finally decided to take action.”

When they noticed One Emperor and her trusted friends’ curious gazes, Phantasmal Shadow raised four fair fingers, and they instantly understood.

The four Beijing sects.

“They’re prepared to act now? We have another strong force joining us, then?”

“That’s true, but their actions at the start of the war are too disappointing. They refused to take action at all, and now, when they see that the situation is turning good, they came out. They’re too shameless.”

“Forget it. No matter what, they’re local sects in Beijing. Their headquarters might be suppressed by Class One Hall at any moment. It’s already good that they’re willing to take action. Young Cloud, write a letter and tell them to fight against Heavenly Heroes Sect.”

Right when her voice faded away, all the Wind Assault Tower members in Beijing simultaneously received a system notification that caused their hearts to tremble.

“Wind Assault Tower’s branch in Beijing has been destroyed!”
