Chapter 1080 - I’ll Sell You My Life!” (1/2)
At the moment more than one hundred thousand people from Wind Assault Tower and the three Beijing sects worked together to break out of Beijing, Beijing, which had already quietened down after Class One Hall controlled it, became lively once more.
The Class One Hall members gathered once more.
The twelve Beijing sects, too, soon gained Dream Clouds’ notification. They began gathering at the city gate to the west.
Aside from that, the people from Blood Alliance as well as the top-class elites from Class One Hall hurried to the city gate in preparation to intercept them.
However, Wind Assault Tower had clearly done sufficient preparation during the two days of laying low. Not only did they have all the aces of their sect around, the aces of the other two sects were also around. The aces that Ji Feng had led out of Beijing but died and returned also gathered near the city gate. They had a geographical advantage, the people were on their side, and their timing was also great.
One Emperor stood at the city gate in his purplish-black brocade robe. His entire body was dyed in dark red. He held his sword in hand as he walked out of the city gate, and he intimidated quite a lot of Class One Hall members, making them not dare to take even half a step out of the city gate.
Rumble!
The people who hurried over to Beijing on short notice from several directions to intercept them could not Phantasmal Shadow and the others’ footsteps at all. Tens of thousands of people quickly formed a wave of galloping hooves outside Beijing, and with a mighty momentum, they launched a counterattack at Class One Hall’s members, suppressing them so much that they dared not come out.
“Go into formation!
“Protect the members who have already died once and escort them out of the city!
“Send word to the members in the city! Tell them to hurry over! We don’t have much time! We’ll only wait outside the city for three minutes, and once three minutes is over, the army will immediately begin breaking out!”
Phantasmal Shadow released all sorts of orders in the crowd nonstop. While her voice was not loud, it was firm and energetic. In an instant, it caused countless Wind Assault Tower members in the area to sense the demeanor of the empress who led the former strongest sect in the Chinese server.
“Tower master, Wandering Know-it-all has sent word! He says that there is movement from more than thirty top-class elites at the north of the city, and we are to pay special attention to them!” Wu Kuo tore apart the letter in his hands and said loudly.
Phantasmal Shadow frowned, but she did not immediately give her order. Instead, she looked at a good friend of hers who also received a messenger pigeon at the same time as Wu Kuo did.
Just as she expected, her good friend skimmed through the letter before she handed the letter over. She reminded Phantasmal Shadow with a solemn voice. “The members guarding the city gate have made a report. Dozens of Class One Hall aces have appeared at the city gate to the south.”
Phantasmal Shadow remained calm. “I knew it. Dream Clouds will definitely not allow us to break out so easily. She intends to split up her forces into two and launch a joint attack so that she can suppress us. She will not give One Emperor the chance to break them apart.”
“What should we do?” Wu Kuo knew that the situation was urgent, and he went straight to ask what they should do next.
Phantasmal Shadow said without hesitation, “As long as Evil Emperor didn’t appear, we will have a chance to turn the tides. One Emperor will indeed be very busy, but Wind Assault Tower hasn’t sunk to the point that we can’t face pressure from one single side!”
She stopped talking for one moment, and she looked at One Emperor. She started moving her lips.
He quickly came to an understanding.
One Emperor did not leave immediately, instead, he put on a human skin mask, and in a flash, he moved into the crowd before he disappeared without a trace.
Phantasmal Shadow then went on to summon all the aces in her group, along with the hidden weapons experts from Tang Sect. There were nearly one hundred of them.
“From now on, you will constantly be together. Do not stray from the group. You must be prepared to handle Class One Hall’s counterattack at any moment,” Phantasmal Shadow spoke quickly and firmly.
“Understood!” the group answered loudly.
*****
At that moment, the other protagonist of the battle stood at a high spot of the city gate to the west. She was protected by a group of Class One Hall’s aces. She watched batches of people from Wind Assault Tower and the people from the three Beijing sects walk out of the city in an endless stream. They joined the black mass of people outside the city. She had a slight frown between her eyebrows, and her eyes sparkled.
To Dream Clouds, she had already gained complete victory in this major upheaval in the Chinese server and the change in the power setup. In fact, she was the only winner in the Chinese server!
The only thing that she was dissatisfied with was that while Class One Hall had managed to control the entire Chinese server with help from Wild Wolves and destroy all the resistances, there was still a possibility that Wind Assault Tower could regroup itself. Phantasmal Shadow, One Emperor, and Wandering Know-it-all had influence that she was to not underestimate in different areas.
With Happy’s aid, Wind Chimes had also been sent back to Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion. It was at that moment that Dream Clouds that the four people seemed to still pose as quite the threat to Class One Hall.
Hence, this time, when Wind Assault Tower wanted to break out of the encirclement to leave Beijing, Dream Clouds immediately decided to pay a high degree of attention to them!
She knew that if she wanted to have Class One Hall retain long-lasting control over the Chinese server, she must completely destroy and dissolve the breakout plan Phantasmal Shadow made.
If Phantasmal Shadow and One Emperor led the group to successfully break out, there would still be a period of time where there would be unrest in the Chinese server, and she would also face various setbacks. In fact, they would deliver a message to the entire Chinese world of martial artists—there is a force that can fight against Class One Hall.
And that was what Dream Clouds absolutely did not want to see.
“Hall master, Wind Assault Tower has already mentioned that they will only wait for three minutes before they begin to launch a full-frontal break. There are two minutes left.”
“I got it.” Once Dream Clouds finished speaking, she looked at the woman beside her. It was Peach Blossom.
“Hasn’t your leader written back?”
“He was originally preparing to come back, but he heard that Happy has appeared six miles to the east of the city.”
Peach Blossom’s answer caused Dream Clouds to frown once more. She could not help but blurt out, “Is he playing around or what?”
“Hall Master Dream, you should understand that Wild Wolves has already completed what we have previously agreed upon. Not only have we helped you destroy all who oppose you, the Chinese server has also fallen into your hands. As of now, we’re providing you free aid by continuing to stay here in the Chinese server. I believe that my leader does not want to hear what you just said of him.”
“Hmph.” Dream Clouds ignored Peach Blossom’s partial threat. She just snorted, “It’s clear that Happy wanted to lure Evil Emperor away by going to the east of the city. We have One Emperor and multiple top-class elites over here protecting the enemy. Even if I send all my people over, we might not be able to gain an advantage. Does your leader not know how to differentiate what is important?”
“Is Class One Hall really so incompetent that you can’t do anything without Wild Wolves?” But Peach Blossom was not easy to deal with either. With just one sentence, she managed to render Dream Clouds speechless.
