Chapter 1164 - Palace, Tunnel (1/2)

More than one hundred martial artists were gathered in the hall of Dragon Gate Inn. They sat beside the braziers and discussed the plot related to the inn.

Phantasmal Shadow’s party had naturally gained the upper hand in this quest.

The group with the second strongest advantage was Niu Dali’s Stained Shirt Sect, who was a local sect in West Region. He worked together with some of the scattered forces of power in the quest and the people from Embroidered Uniform Guards to form a power that could fight on equal footing with Wind Assault Tower.

Silver Wolf and his party might be insignificant, but due to the sect emblem on their chests, they could occupy a spot of their own in an imposing manner, and they were not harassed in the slightest.

Lovely Land was famous in West Region as well.

Due to One Emperor winning the two battles at Thailand and Vietnam, no one dared to underestimate the Chinese players’ ability to fight outside their borders anymore, and no one would dare to readily offend the sect masters from Lovely Land as well.

Besides, while Silver Wolf was not famous in the game, during the battle at Song House, Happy had mentioned his name twice, and now, his name had spread far and wide as well.

Also, even Phantasmal Shadow had made a guess that Happy might have come to West Region, so the others must have definitely made the same guess. Normal people would not actively search for trouble and make their own lives miserable, after all, so they would not bother Silver Wolf and his party.

“No matter what, she’s the second most influential person in the Chinese plains.”

Silver Wolf observed the people in the inn while he sat in a corner. He mumbled, “Most people have already given up on the quest in the desert palace and decided to focus on Dragon Gate Inn’s quest, but judging by her expression, she wants to clear both quests.”

“It’s not strange for her to think this way. Wind Assault Tower might not be as famous as Lovely Land, but it was once the leading power in the Chinese plains.” Knife took a small sip from his cup.

Even though it had been a short time since they joined Lovely Land, after they found a branch and settled there, the party of four had already understood the situation in Lovely Land clearly. At the same time, they gained an even clearer understanding of Lovely Land’s system. Naturally, they knew that Lovely Land was on the path of becoming a proper sect, and they were a strong and new force of power full of life and vigor.

“It’s a pity that she lost the wariness that she should have when she reached the peak of her power, or else, why would she have let Blood Robes become independent from Class One Hall and set up his own sect, and why could she have let Dream Clouds have the chance to set up twelve major sects in Beijing in such a relaxed manner? In the end, Dream Clouds was the one who controlled the Chinese plains in secret.”

Silver Wolf smiled coldly.

Right now, due to the competition for the title of the strongest in Lovely Land, none of the elites in Lovely Land had relaxed because they had become the strongest in the Chinese plains. Instead, because of the legacy from Song House and all the rewards, they were motivated to train diligently day and night. They grinded at full force to accumulate strength.

As of current, Lovely Land’s development speed was much faster and fiercer than any of the sects in the Chinese plains, unlike the sects that appeared saturated and powerless once they became too big. Even Silver Wolf and his party could sense an unprecedented pressure, and he was not entirely certain as to whether he could seize the title of the strongest in Lovely Land.

And since the sect had been able to make even Silver Wolf feel pressured, he believed that soon, Lovely Land could turn into an organization that could fight against Wild Wolves on its own, much less a formerly powerful sect that had been torn to shreds because of Class One Hall and was currently working hard to repair itself.

“Wind Assault Tower will definitely gain a lot of benefits if they manage to get the treasures from the desert palace. It’s understandable that Phantasmal Shadow came here to take a risk. If I were her, I wouldn’t miss the chance either.

“Unfortunately, the quest should have been activated by our sect master. Phantasmal Shadow doesn’t even know what is going on with it, so her chances of getting into the desert palace are slim to none.”

When he said this, Silver Wolf suddenly frowned and turned his head to look at the door. There was an attentive look on his face.

Knife and the others, along with all the players in the inn, turned to the door one after another as well.

Bang!

As disorderly and rapid footsteps as well as the sounds of fluttering sleeves rose, the wooden bolt behind the door was broken with a bang, and people stumbled in while the sand danced madly outside.

A large group of people rushed into the inn.

Cold wind rushed in, and the players in the inn sucked in sharp breaths. They felt as if the cold was seeping into their bones.

Bang! Bang!

The people sitting near the entrance were the first ones to fly into a rage. They stood up quickly and were prepared to yell at them. Some of them even drew their weapons.

But when they sensed the qi realms of the people who stood still, the curses that were already at the tips of their tongues died away.

The people who came over from the ruins were practically all Myth Realm elites. The people who took the lead and charged into the inn were all powerful martial artists at the peak of Myth Realm as well.

Even though there were no shortage of Myth Realm elites in the inn, this was still a world where the strong ruled. The players still did not have the right to challenge those at the peak of Myth Realm. After all, these people were all qualified to become sect masters.

The crowd got up and watched dumbly as more Myth Realm elites rushed in. They got up and left their own tables.

“What’s going on?”

“Damn it! You destroyed my door again?! How am I supposed to open for business now?!” Jin Xiangyu walked out of her room on the first floor while she pulled her clothes around herself. When she saw the shattered wood laying horizontally on both sides of the door, she glared at the people and started cursing them. However, the cunning owner of the inn knew what was going on, and she did not mention any names.

“Owner, the black sandstorm is here. We’ll be using your place to avoid the sandstorm for a while. This is our lodging fee.” One of the martial artists in the lead was at the peak of Myth Realm. He knew that he was in the wrong, and he did not intend to cause any trouble. He threw two golden leaves to Jin Xiangyu.

Once she took the golden leaves, Jin Xiangyu’s expression changed drastically. “Black sandstorm?”

For the first time ever, Jin Xiangyu did not look at the golden leaves in her hands. When she saw more people enter her inn, she quickly stomped down the stairs.

A few of the employees in the inn also rushed out from their rooms.

“A black sandstorm?!”

Their faces were filled with panic.

“What’s going on?”

The people who came from the Chinese plains did not understand what was going on, but when they saw that the West Regioners beside them had turned pale and frightened, they had a general idea of what was going on—something bad happened.

The players reacted in the same way.

“Shut the door! Quick! Shut the door!”

Right when Jin Xiangyu arrived at the door, she sensed a strong wind of unmatched force blowing at her. The sand cut at her skin like knives, and right when she reached the entrance, she could no longer stand on steady feet.

“I haven’t entered just yet! Why are you shutting the door?!”

Many people were still rushing to the inn. When they saw that the inn had been shut, they started cursing.

However, at the moment the door was shut, the people in the inn could already see black tornador connecting to the sky, along with a sandstorm that covered the sky.

“Hiss…”

The power of nature made all the people in the inn sense the fear toward death.

Bang!
