Chapter 446: Setup

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The news about the battle at Eternal Peace Temple quickly spread through the entire game.

The three leaders of Chivalry Sect had been attacked by Class One Hall, and they were given an ultimatum to leave Changjiang and head north, but Happy showed up by accident, and their plan failed. Not only did Class One Hall not manage to kill Wind Void and Lin Xiao, Red Dust, who had been rushing to Eternal Peace Temple, managed to shake off Tang Feng’s pursuit and returned to Eternal Peace Temple safely.

The battle came to an end with Class One Hall sacrificing one of their leaders, Blood Robes, three elites—Evil Wolf, Monk with Thick Eyebrows, and Child’s Heart—and more than one hundred great Class One Hall members.

Such a result changed the power hierarchy in World of Martial Arts!

The originally messy situation became very distinct after the battle.

After what happened, Chivalry Sect rose to power!

A large group of people hunted down Blood Robes and various other people and surrounded them from every direction. In the end, aside from Blood Robes being able to escape from Chivalry Sect’s encirclement under the Killer Star effect, the other Class One Hall members died every single time they left the city. They only managed to escape after they left Class One Hall.

Evil Wolf, Monk with Thick Eyebrows, Child’s Heart, and the others received extra attention. Once they were located, they were surrounded and could not leave south Changjiang at all.

Whenever they left the city, they died. Once they died three times, their abilities were largely compromised, and any normal Mystical Realm player could easily kill them.

Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows completely fell out of the Dragon Rank.

Unless they had some kind of sacred medicine that could heal wounds, they would have to wait for a month before they could return to their peak. During that month, no matter what they did, they would not gain any experience.

At the same time Chivalry Sect mobilized their forces to hunt down the people of Class One Hall, they also viciously attacked all Class One Hall branches situated in Jiangnan. Within a single night, all the branches in Jiangnan were destroyed, and a large group of Class One Hall members had to flee helter-skelter while a few tens of thousands of Chivalry Sect members exacted revenge on them. Quite a lot of them left Class One Hall and fled to the north of Changjiang.

Class One Hall’s reputation in the south of Changjiang dropped to rock bottom, and their prestige in World of Martial Arts was attacked in an unprecedented manner. Many people watched this and waited for Class One Hall’s reaction.

However, what shocked the martial artists was that not only had Chivalry Sect delivered a lightning fast attack, they had also predicted Class One Hall’s counterattack. They used the fastest speed they could muster to pull back the members from the branches they had set up to the north of Changjiang until they were gathered near Baokang, and Class One Hall only managed to destroy a few empty branches.

Class One Hall did not manage to take revenge, and the internal members were naturally displeased. The cries for war were incredibly loud, and they asked for permission to point their weapons at Baokang so that they could completely destroy the people from Chivalry Sect and Mu Clan who had stationed themselves there.

However, the higher ups of Class One Hall stopped their operations in an act that was against everyone’s expectations.

They also shocked everyone by pulling back some of the forces in the branches near Baokang and doing their best to avoid getting into conflict with their enemies in that area.

The two sects in the game that stood as symbols of the two greatest forces of power were at a stalemate with Baokang serving as a demarcation line.

The third large sect, Towering Palace, was treated by many people as Class One Hall’s ally, but they were onlookers during the entire process. They never took part in the fight.

However, they became much more cautious during that period of time when hostility was everywhere. They tried their best not to step on the two large sects’ tails and only worked on developing the coastal areas.

Countless players began analyzing the matter.

Even though Class One Hall was still as strong as ever while they had Dream Clouds, Zhou Yu, and Barren Murderer, who were top-tier players, not only had they failed to set up Chivalry Sect, they had instead caused Chivalry Sect and Mu Clan to become even closer than before.

They also received news from Baokang.

After the battle at Eternal Peace Temple, the three leaders of Chivalry Sect held a feast and invited Happy as well as All-powerful Medicinal Stone as thanks for their help. Then, after Wind Void discussed matters with her vice sect masters, Chivalry Sect took the initiative to give up on their share of the ore mines in Baokang. They gave their one-fifth of resources in the alliance of the five sects to Mu Clan without asking for payment so that they could help Mu Clan develop swiftly.

On top of that, Chivalry Sect helped Mu Clan set up branches in Jiangnan. They gave Mu Clan some of the great resource points that Class One Hall and Chivalry Sect had previously fought over.

As thanks, Mu Clan revealed the fact that they had seven pieces of fourth-echelon equipment on Divine Weapon Rank. That shocked the game, but Mu Clan was not done with that. They stated that they were willing to let their great Forgemaster Heartless Iron help Chivalry Sect get fourth-echelon equipment without asking for payment. They also promised that they would work with Chivalry Sect to fight against Class One Hall together.

Both sides set up an information exchange network to monitor the areas near Baokang and Changjiang River Basin to prevent Class One Hall from crossing over their borders again and invading Changjiang!

*****

After the intense period led by Chivalry Sect’s actions passed, the nervous atmosphere when everyone was scared out of their wits gradually faded away. Chivalry Sect and Class One Hall treated Changjiang and Baokang as their border, and a few days passed quietly.

During them, Happy stayed in Eternal Peace Temple. Red Dust as well as All-powerful Medicinal Stone were with him. Lin Xiao and Wind Void had gone off their way to enthusiastically take care of the forces Class One Hall had left in the areas to the south and collect their resource points on the second day after the accident.

On that day, while Happy and Red Dust chattered together, they suddenly heard a commotion and screams of pain from the entrance of Eternal Peace Temple.

“You traitors! This is an important place that the imperial court soldiers have decided to temporarily take over, and you dare to come here as you please to kill our soldiers?! How dare you?!

“Guards!” A clear, feminine shout rose into the air, and the killing intent within it could be heard clearly. “Kill all the traitors in the temple!”

The two men were shocked.

The door to the tall tower was suddenly opened, and a group of heavy-armored Yuan Dynasty soldiers rushed out. They were led by A’da, A’er, and A’san.

“This is bad!”

Happy recognized A’san, and he could tell that the situation was bad at first glance. He shouted and jumped up the wall with Red Dust to swiftly retreat from the area near the tall tower.

The Chivalry Sect members reacted rather quickly. They swiftly retreated and avoided the disaster.

The people of the other sects were in a more sorry state. They did not notice the situation at the door and were caught off guard. By the time they noticed that something was wrong, the three Inaction Realm fighters had already charged out of the tower!

“Kill them!”

Happy and Red Dust left rather quickly, but they still came face to face with an old man who was dressed in a wide black robe and who had black eye rims and many tiny braids in his hair. He had the air of a West Regioner.

The old man had a gloomy face, and his eyes were as sharp as lightning when he fixed his gaze on them. He tapped against the stone tower beneath him, and with a loud whoosh, he pounced on them like a huge bird.

Red Dust did not recognize Lu Zhangke of the Xuanming Elders, but there was no way Happy could not recognize him.

“It’s Lu Zhangke! Brother Red Dust, I’ll handle him for a while! You have to leave!”

Happy was afraid that Red Dust would go up against Lu Zhangke because he thought that he could deal with him. But this man practiced Profound Abyss Divine Palm, and it was not any normal freezing palm technique. Those whose qi was low would not be able to withstand the freezing poison in his palms when fighting against him. If they got off from it lightly, they would be poisoned, but if they did not, they would die from the cold.

Red Dust heard the urgent tone in Happy’s voice, and he quickly understood Happy’s intentions. He did not say anything else, but led his brothers from Chivalry Sect to flee in another direction.

However, Lu Zhangke had already received orders from Zhao Min, and he was incredibly interested in large groups of people. He jumped, prepared to fly over Happy’s head.

Clang!

Lu Zhangke was blocked by a sword force that came charging at his face with a sword whine. He focused and spat out a few words coldly.

“You sure are reckless…”
