Sword Among Us

The entire game now paid attention to the distribution of Towering Palace’s former territory.

The southern cities in the coastal area were mainly occupied by Chivalry Sect and Wind and Rain Alliance. They controlled the territory and resource points after Towering Palace retreated from the picture. The eastern cities in the coastal area were controlled by Mu Clan and Wind Assault Tower. They worked together with some of the large local sects to control the resources over there.

Just like this, one week passed.

*****

Wind Chimes carried her casket with a feeble grip while she followed behind Silver Wolf in Mu Clan’s branch inside Yangzhou City. She arrived outside an ancient tomb outside Yangzhou City.

“Is this the place?”

Wind Chimes might have taken Illusion Life and Death Pill, but all the martial arts she learned were gone, and now, even a normal Mystical Realm noob was better than she was.

Silver Wolf turned his head around and nodded. “You’ll be training here. I’ve already had someone lock down the area nearby, and no one will come and bother you.”

He pleaded with Wandering Know-it-all for a long time before the man agreed to have Mu Clan continue protecting Wind Chimes and to help her return to her previous strength as quickly as possible.

For this, he had even taken the initiative to run errands for her and lure the Stone Giants as well as Dirt Puppets nearby and create the safest and fastest environment for Wind Chimes to train.

“Okay.” Wind Chimes brought out her repaired demonic zither in a familiar motion and placed her hands gently on the zither strings before she began to play in an orderly fashion.

The large group of Stone Giants looked as if they had been blown by a sharp breeze under the attacks of the sound waves. Faint powder fell down from their bodies continuously.

Layers of powder was continuously blown away in the air!

This was the initial damage in the demonic sounds. The damage was incredibly weak, and it was the same as scratching these Stone Giants. They absolutely did not have the former spirit and power that allowed her to command the wind and clouds as well as kill everything in every direction.

After playing for a while, Wind Chimes was already exhausted. She stared at the Stone Giants who were unaffected and were continuously attacking Silver Wolf, who was among them. There was a resigned look on her face. “It’s so slow…”

“We’ll do it slowly. After all, we have time.” Silver Wolf opened his eyes and comforted her gently, “I’ll just use this time to practice my qi cultivation technique and body fortification.”

“I don’t have any strength any more…”

“Alright. If you’re tired, you can rest for a while,” Silver Wolf answered in an incredibly doting tone.

Wind Chimes seemed to be unable to get used to this strange atmosphere between them. Her face turned red. “Big Brother Silver Wolf, where did Happy go? Is he still busy with Towering Palace?”

“Towering Palace?”

When Silver Wolf heard this name, he remembered that night, and a cold glare shone in his eyes, but he soon became calm once more. “He’s not busy with them anymore. Towering Palace has now been forced to only a few northern east cities in the coastal area by Wind Assault Tower and other large sects. Their members have decreased to fewer than thirty thousand, and even Vast Heaven and Grim Green, both of whom are top-ranking Dragon Rank players, have left Towering Palace. The Music sisters can only rely on Class One Hall’s might in the north to survive. They won’t pose as any threat to Mu Clan, and Happy doesn’t intend to kill them off immediately.” He might have said this, but Silver Wolf knew that this was actually a compromise.

Class One Hall was intimidated by Mu Clan, and they did not dare take the initiative to attack Mu Clan.

But Mu Clan had also sacrificed a lot of people this time. They lost one-third of their elites, and these elites were no longer suited to fight against Class One Hall. If they tried to devour Towering Palace fully until not a single bit of them was left, the clash between two top-class sects will be inevitable.

But there was something different between Class One Hall and Towering Palace!

Class One Hall had a very strong core!

If they were truly engaged in war, Mu Clan will win, and the losses they suffered will be very great.

In this sort of situation, if Happy did not want the foreign organizations to be involved in the Chinese world of martial artists, maintaining the current balance was necessary.

The territories Towering Palace occupied served as a buffering zone for them.

Wind Assault Tower was situated in between Towering Palace and Mu Clan, and they, too, served as a buffering zone.

Towering Palace did not dare enter Wind Assault Tower’s territory recklessly, and Wind Assault Tower also exercised a lot of restraint because Class One Hall’s main camp was right behind supporting Towering Palace.

Hence, the coastal area finally regained peace slowly.

“What has Happy been busy with over the past few days? Is he prepared to attack Class One Hall?” Wind Chimes stared at Silver Wolf in great curiosity.

Silver Wolf shook his head. “Recently, Wind Assault Tower sent news saying that the people from Dragon Sect seem to have been mingling with Class One Hall. White Robe Sect’s elite, Drifting Sword also seems to be among them. We’ve lost quite a number of elites this time, and even if we fight, we won’t be able to, because the losses will be too great.”

“Okay.” Wind Chimes nodded quietly.

“Besides, we’ll be missing Demonic Sound Duchess in the battlefield, and that means Mu Clan will have one less trump card. No matter what, we’ll have to wait until you get better.” Silver Wolf laughed.

“Tsk.” Wind Chimes rolled her eyes and turned her head around. There was no way she could not tell that Silver Wolf was trying to comfort her.

Silver Wolf also did not mention where Happy was, because even he did not know what Happy had been up to recently.

Ever since the matter in Towering Palace came to an end, Happy secretly headed north, but no one knew just where he went, and no one revealed any news of seeing him either.

Even though Silver Wolf once thought about Happy possibly going to Class One Hall to cause trouble there, when he thought about it in depth, he found his assumption wrong. It was impossible for Happy to go over and provoke Class One Hall to initiate a war at this moment.

“Are you done resting?”

“Yup.” Wind Chimes earnestly placed her zither on her knees, and she began playing rhythmically. Her notes gradually became louder, and she quickly began leaving fine gashes on the large group of Stone Giants.

The damage within her demonic sounds increased slightly!

*****

At that moment, something strange happened at Sky Demon Branch, which was thousands of miles away from where Silver Wolf was.

A number of Mu Clan members in Sky Demon Branch noticed that ever since Happy left, Branch Master Rampaging Dragon, who had been keeping watch over Sky Demon Branch, had not appeared outside Sky Demon Branch for a few days. It was as if he had disappeared.

However, Vice Branch Master Eleventh Crane, Knife, and the others received the task to take over Rampaging Dragon’s job. At the same time they managed Sky Demon Branch, they were also in charge of the missions inside Sky Demon Secret Cave.

Knife, Bar, and Thunder’s equipment and strength secured the top three spots in Sky Demon Branch, and they had even surpassed Rampaging Dragon. They were already the main force for the missions in Sky Demon Secret Cave, and they were known as the Sky Demon Trio.

But there was currently one person in the underground clan prison within Sky Demon Branch. He was drenched in sweat, and he fought against an Inaction Realm elite with a saber in hand and a resolute gaze in his eyes. If any outside came over, they will definitely be shocked to find that the Inaction Realm martial artists trapped in this place were all evil cult elders from Sky Demon Secret Cave.

And the person fighting one on one against Rampaging Dragon at that moment was none other than the great elder of the evil cult, a powerful martial artist at the peak of Inaction Realm, to whom they had the chance to capture by pure luck!

Ever since that day, Rampaging Dragon never went out. He would fight against the evil cult great elder day and night in shifts to practice a martial art Happy gave him before he left—Great Saber Breaker Art!

This was an ultimate technique taken from the mighty northern clan’s Jinjiu and Yinshi.

Rampaging Dragon knew very clearly that once he mastered this martial art, he might have the chance to surpass Knife, Bar, and Thunder, which was why he did not spend a lot of time resting every day, but instead spent all his time in training this martial art and leveling Great Saber Breaker Art.

There were two Great Saber Breaker Arts, and Happy gave them all away. In the distant West Region was Phoenix Dances, who was also tirelessly leveling Great Saber Breaker Art and heading to her goal as a top-class fighter in World of Martial Arts.
