Chapter 914: Use Superior Military Tactics, Then Move to Diplomacy, And Do Two Things at the Same Time
The silver “Mu” emblem appeared on Responsible Hero’s chest on the spot. The group of sect leaders looked as if they just swallowed a toad, and their expressions were sour.
There was no need to even mention Barren Murderer. Responsible Hero was someone Class One Hall spent a lot of effort to try and get on their side, but Responsible Hero was just focused on practicing the sword. However, after the fight between Happy and Responsible Hero, Class One Hall temporarily set recruiting him aside. But now, when he saw how Happy managed to get Responsible Hero into Mu Clan with just a few words, his expressions turned very dark.
In the past, only Happy and Silver Wolf were capable of killing him, but now, Mu Clan had another name added to the list—Responsible Hero.
When he saw Responsible Hero talking about the things in Mu Clan during the feast and had even started talking about Happy’s purpose in entering Beijing as well as the time and place Happy wanted to build Mu Clan’s branch, Barren Murderer wanted to kill Responsible Hero, whose face was red with excitement now.
“Boss Happy, how many people are going to enter Beijing, and when are you building the branch?”
Happy smiled and answered, “Don’t be in such a hurry. Before we build the branch, we have to make sure that Mu Clan doesn’t have any opposing forces in Beijing. We must crush all those who might pose as a threat to us.”
No one said anything, but when Responsible Hero heard this, he smiled and cast Barren Murderer a look.
Barren Murderer’s face was as dark as a thundercloud now.
“What do you need me to do, Boss Happy?” Responsible Hero looked like he wanted to show his talents and courage, and he seemed to have the urge to do something significant.
“Don’t worry, you’ll be involved at that time.” As he spoke, Happy noticed that the twenty or so tables in the front yard were already filled. When the door was shut, beautiful and charming waitresses at the peak of their beauty came in. They held silver platters, and the front yard was instantly filled with quite a lot of pretty sights.
The feast began.
“Master Wandering Know-it-all, these are waitresses who are at the level of palace maids working in mansions for princes. You brought out so many in one go to serve us? As expected of the richest person in the Chinese server. Haha!”
“Whew… I know, right?”
“We’re really lucky.”
“It’s nothing. Since I’m serving you, I will naturally not dare to be inattentive to any of you.” Wandering Know-it-all was all smiles, and he wrapped his fist in his palm like a wanderer. “But soon, the richest person in the Chinese server will not be me. I’m just filling in that role forcefully, and while I still am the richest person, I want to use that chance to show off a little so that you won’t be striking me in the face in the future.”
“Oh?”
Quite a number of people put on surprised expressions.
“Is there still someone who can snatch your title as the richest person in the Chinese server?”
“I wonder who that is.”
Wandering Know-it-all smiled and pointed at Happy, who was watching him with a faint smile. “That person is someone all of you know. He’s Happy, the important guest I invited to my banquet today.”
Silence.
Responsible Hero saw the resigned smile on Happy’s face, and he could not help but be stunned. “The richest person means that the person has the most amount of money in the game. But I remember that Wandering Know-it-all seems to be able to get money from every player in the Chinese server. Is he implying that you are even better at earning money than Wandering Know-it-all now?”
“Of course.” Wandering Know-it-all came into the hall with a pot of wine in his hands. He laughed loudly.
“The coastal area, Jiangnan, Changjiang, and West Region are all large areas in the Chinese server, and now, the entire north is about to be taken down by Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect. Tell me, who else will be able to earn more money than Mu Clan in the future?”
Responsible Hero’s face flushed red, but it was not due to embarrassment; it was excitement!
Bang!
Just when congratulatory words rose from the front yard, Barren Murderer slammed his palm against the table and stood up. “Enough!”
The hall instantly fell silent.
The voices in the front yard also faded away because of it.
“Happy, the north is still Class One Hall’s territory right now! Before Class One Hall loses, no one knows who will gain the prize! Don’t you think it’s a little too early for you to set up a celebratory feast with such great fanfare?!”
The dozens of sect leaders by the tables puffed out their chests. Since Barren Murderer already put on such an imposing presence, their gazes were all gathered on Happy, and they looked as if they supported Class One Hall in an attempt to let Happy know that Beijing was still united.
But before Happy even said anything, Responsible Hero can no longer hold himself back.
A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes, and he placed his hand on his sword hilt.
“Young Hero, don’t be rash. This is Beijing.”
“I’m not afraid. I’ve already gone into the palace, and the people in the Western and Eastern Depots can do nothing to me.” Responsible Hero’s arrogant words and his rash behavior made the sect leaders beside Barren Murderer have their faces turn pale.
What he said was true.
Right now, even though the law enforcement in the cities was much stricter than before, the greatest people they can send out were just normal Myth Realm martial artists.
They were not very intimidating to players like Responsible Hero and Happy.
They were truly worried that Responsible Hero will be overcome by his emotions and draw his sword to kill. There were plenty of sect masters here, but there were few who can enter the ranks of top-class elites, and none of them can block the sword slashes from Ximen Chuixue’s ace disciple.
The hundreds of sect leaders and famous people in the front yard might be far away from the front yard, but the six doors leading to the hall were all wide open, and the inside was practically connected to the outside. Everyone can see all that transpired inside.
When they saw Responsible Hero flying into rage and place his hand on his sword, some people had their expressions change, while another group delighted in Class One Hall’s misfortune. They wanted eagerly for Responsible to get rid of all the sect leaders who had affiliated themselves with Class One Hall as well as completely eliminate Class One Hall’s forces of power in Beijing.
However, Happy will absolutely not something like that happen.
“No matter what, this is the master’s mansion. Today, he set up a banquet for us, and we’re guests. We shan’t seize the role of the host from the master. Do not even mention anything about killing.” He placed his hand on Responsible Hero’s arm, and Responsible Hero’s longsword was forced down on the table.
Responsible Hero sat down with a huff, and at the same time, he glared at the people by the tables in anger.
Clear Music and Musical Note exchanged a thought-provoking look while they remained in the front yard.
‘Happy actually promoted a rash rascal to become the person in charge of the entire north? His intentions are really obvious here…
‘A large scale slaughter and bloody suppression might be inevitable when he takes over Beijing this time.’
Judging by what Happy meant just now and his attitude to the forces of power who affiliated themselves to Class One Hall, after he got out of the door, these people might not end up in a good condition.
Happy opened his mouth, seemingly with the intention to continue talking. Everyone instantly held their breaths to listen, and they did not dare miss even a single word.
After Happy controlled Responsible Hero, he looked outside the door, and his clear voice carried with it great confidence and a domineering tone that affected countless people. “Vice Hall Master Barren, since you have already stated that you will fight against Mu Clan to the end, then I might as well get straight to the point too.”
The inside and outside of the hall immediately became quiet.
Under the group of people’s anxious, uneasy, expectant, and complicated gazes, Happy leisurely had the palace made beside him pour him wine before he looked up. “This time, one of my goals for entering Beijing is to destroy Class One Hall—”
“How conceited.” Barren Murderer clenched his teeth together, but was unable to hold himself back from spitting out those words.
As Happy looked over with a mocking gaze, Barren Murderer instantly snorted before he looked elsewhere.
“We will soon know whether I am conceited or not.”
“My second goal in entering Beijing is because I do not want my arrival to cause Beijing sink into chaos and stir up too much upheaval and slaughter. Hence, this time, I asked Master Wandering Know-it-all to come out of seclusion to search for suitable allies for me. I suppose all of you know that Mu Clan has a system that is specially tailored for us to work with our allies, and the details should be very clear.”
“Ally?”
“Boss Happy, I wonder what are your requirements when you search for an ally.”
“That’s right. Do you have a detailed standard?”
“White Horse Sect has thirty thousand people and four branches. Is that enough to be your ally?”
“There’s also Clear Wind Sect—”
“We…”
As Happy revealed his second goal, most of the people by the twenty-four tables in the front yard became worked up. They took the initiative to ask questions and asked to become Mu Clan’s ally.
The rising and falling waves of sound practically overturned Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion.
Barren Murderer and his group instantly had their faces turn pale. When they saw more than one hundred sect leaders eagerly and proactively asking to work together with Mu Clan, everyone looked dejected, as if they were about to be destroyed, and they also panicked, as if the trend where they were in power was now gone.
They did not expect that Happy will deal such a powerful killing move.
Before he even obtained Beijing, he already gave off the air that Beijing was already in his control and that he was the master of the place.
There were plenty of sects in Beijing, and the factions of power were highly complicated, because there were not many resource points, that was why even Class One Hall only controlled the core regions as well as a group of sects who looked rather powerful.
However, the remaining sects had clearly all decided to join Happy.
Barren Murderer finally understood Happy’s scheme in holding a feast in Beijing this time!
A cold chill crept down his spine.
If Happy truly managed to gather all this power into his hands, Mu Clan can easily enter Beijing and take control over it without even seeing a drop of blood spilled!
Class One Hall had intended to make Mu Clan use up most of their power in Beijing so that they will not have the strength to head west, but now, their plan was instantly ruined.
Barren Murderer was rendered speechless, and his expression was incredibly dark.
A few people were even already looking back and forth between Barren Murderer and Happy with sparkling eyes, and they felt incredibly anxious as well as conflicted.
Responsible Hero, who was beside Happy, naturally saw this scene, and he was filled with even more admiration toward Happy.
When he thought about it now, if he had drawn his sword and killed just now, he might already be chased out of Beijing by the elites in the palace before he can kill a whole lot of people. Then, he will just make himself laughing stock for Class One Hall and the sects affiliated to them.
But with just a few words, not only did Happy completely destroy their arrogance and the strongest pillar they depended on for their survival, he even placed himself in the most beneficial spot.
Now, no one can stop Mu Clan from taking over Beijing and setting up their branch here.
*****
“If you are able to come here as Master Wandering Know-it-all’s guests for the banquet, then it means that you have already met the requirements. Since all of you are here, you are naturally one of the allies I am looking for!”
Happy’s words not only chased away most of the fear and uneasiness within many of the sect leaders, at the same time, they also puffed out their chests in greater pride.
Some of the people were even more excited.
If they posted these words online and let their sect members see that Happy took the initiative to invite them to become his ally as well as work with them, they will definitely feel incredibly honored.
“Everyone, if you’re willing to, please write down your names after the banquet and make prior preparations. Since we are allies, we will definitely defend our territories and attack our enemies together. Please cooperate with Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect in our grand projects!”
“Alright!”
“Master, remember my name, I am from White Horse Sect—”
“Me too!”
“I’m—”
A group of people could no longer wait. They began reporting their names, and the situation was incredibly chaotic.
In the end, Wandering Know-it-all, who was already prepared for this a long time ago, ordered his thirty-six disciples to take action. Each of them took out pen and paper and went to each table to write names. It was only by doing so that they managed to calm down the frenzy among the people.
Happy looked away, and his gaze returned to Barren Murderer, whose face was pale and was prepared to have his subordinate send a messenger pigeon. He did not stop him but smiled faintly and said, “Vice Hall Master Barren, looks like you and everyone else have already agreed that I have the right to take over Beijing now. In truth, I already know what you’re currently thinking of doing.
“Half an hour, the resistance against Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect in the cities in the north have become much weaker, and quite a number of people have already left Beijing. Is Hall Master Dream thinking about leaving without saying goodbye to me?”
Happy’s thought-provoking laughter caused many people’s expressions to change while they remained seated. They stared at Barren Murderer incredulously.
