It was a sleepless night!
Not long after the news of Happy escaping unscathed from the ambush in Dragon's Gate spread through the game, an even more explosive piece of news soon spread out.
One Emperor, who was elusive, had been silent for more than half a year, and he finally appeared in front of the people again!
But this time, when he appeared outside Dragon's Gate, he viciously destroyed the group of supreme-class elites led by Barren Murderer. At the same time, Wind Assault Tower secretly mobilized more than ten thousand people to surround an area of several miles around them after One Emperor took action. In the end, they successfully killed all the people who joined the ambush against Happy in Dragon's Gate!
Once this news spread out, the Chinese server trembled.
The various factions of power in the world of martial artists became restless.
…
"She finally decided to attack Class One Hall!"
"Phantasmal Shadow seized the timing very well this time!"
"Yeah."
"Over the past year or so, ever since Wind Assault Tower officially became the strongest sect in the Chinese server, even though Phantasmal Shadow's performance has been average, I thought that she had already begun to accept her current situation. By the looks of it now, Shadow Empress' might hasn't decreased at all! In fact, she's even better than before! "
Uncle Sword and Tea Words sat across each other in Dragon's Gate.
"When Phantasmal Shadow posted a vague post on the forum, I thought that she truly did not dare to attack Class One Hall and was still trying to intimidate them. I didn't expect that the battle outside Dragon's Gate was as swift as lightning. She didn't give her enemy any chance to counterattack." Now, she left behind so many people to control Guanlin Temple in Dragon's Gate, and Class One Hall's people are famous outside as well. It's very easy to recognize them. She basically eliminated the possibility of Class One Hall breaking out of the encirclement and leaving. From now on, Dream Clouds and Class One Hall will not be able to live in peace. "
Tea Words nodded quietly.
"I didn't expect that she would attack so viciously after Happy left, and she even asked One Emperor and you to help. It's no wonder why she was able to sit in her current position. She's indeed not a simple person."
"Hehe, I'll spare you. I know how important I am. Don't compare me to One Emperor." Uncle Sword could tell that Tea Words was flattering him. He shook his head and laughed. "One Emperor is the one who asked for help. As for Head Hunters, we're just doing things for money. This is the distribution center for information in the Chinese server. No matter what happens, it won't escape my ears. It's only logical that Phantasmal Shadow asked me to help monitor Barren Murderer and his group."
When he finished speaking, Tea Words picked up the wine cup in front of him with a smile and said in a contemplative manner,
"He offered two billion taels of silver crumbs and asked Head Hunters to be in charge of gathering all information related to Class One Hall and Blood Alliance. Even One Emperor's appearance fee might not be this high. Congratulations, Uncle Sword!"
The man glared at him.
"You brat! How did you know the price Phantom gave me? "
"Hehe, it's a secret." Tea Words smiled mysteriously.
Uncle Sword refused to show weakness.
"You're still talking about secrets in front of me? Since you have a close relationship with Happy, then Happy and Wandering Know-it-all, and Wandering Know-it-all and Phantasmal Shadow, looks like the iron triangle to fight against Wild Wolves will have to change its name to the iron triangle from today onwards. Did Happy tell you about Phantasmal Shadow's offer?"
"… Whatever you think."
Tea Words smiled in a noncommittal manner. "But you have to think about this clearly. Aside from using this money to buy your information, it might also bring you quite a lot of trouble. The people from Class One Hall and Blood Alliance will soon know that you are serving Wind Assault Tower, and they will definitely offer you a high price."
"Don't worry, I, Uncle Sword, will not stoop so low as to be a fence-sitter. Since I've already taken Wind Assault Tower's money, before this matter is over, I will not take Class One Hall's money."
Uncle Sword's expression became stern.
Even though Tea Words had said it in a casual tone, to Uncle Sword, it was also a formal warning.
To him, Happy, Tea Words, Phantasmal Shadow, One Emperor, and Wandering Know-it-all were in the same group.
Coincidentally, Tea Words knew very well that Head Hunters was used to doing business in many areas, and his words just now should be a warning!
Even if Uncle Sword had thought about taking over Class One Hall's business and earning more money, right now, he would no longer think about it.
"Uncle Sword, you don't have to be so nervous. How much money Phantasmal Shadow spends has nothing to do with me."
Tea Words' smile did not fade away, and he looked calm.
"I'm just reminding you that Class One Hall and Blood Alliance might do you harm."
"…"
Uncle Sword did not say anything, but he despised Tea Words in his heart.
Ever since Tea Words and his group helped Happy destroy the Fatal Flying Matrix Barren Murderer and his group set up, Uncle Sword's gaze toward Tea Words had become completely different.
Uncle Sword took the initiative to change the topic from Head Hunters to Phantasmal Shadow's operation.
"We still don't know whether Class One Hall and Blood Alliance will be able to survive the encirclement by Wind Assault Tower, One Emperor, and the other factions of power in the Chinese server. There's no way they will have the chance and time to fight against me. Besides, Wind Assault Tower chose to attack this time after Happy lit up the spark to fight against Class One Hall, and they used One Emperor's momentum. Once they attack, they will turn into a raging fire! Class One Hall's destruction might just be a matter of time! No matter how strong Dream Clouds is, it's impossible for her to get through this disaster. Even Empress Clouds won't be able to fight against the emperor and empress working together! "
"I don't think so."
Tea Words spun the wine cup in his hands with a stern expression. "Empress Shadow might be extraordinary, and the Wind Assault Tower she built is indeed the strongest sect in the Chinese server, but don't forget that it's because of that incident that happened. If it weren't for that incident that caused Class One Hall to suffer a huge blow to its foundation and allowed Wind Assault Tower to seize the chance to surpass them, Wind Assault Tower would not have the chance to become the strongest faction of power in the Chinese server right now."
"…"
Uncle Sword's expression changed.
Since he was the leader of Head Hunters and the leader of the largest information agency in the Chinese server, it was only natural that he knew what "that incident" Tea Words mentioned was.
Happy!
One year and seven months ago.
During the Sword of the Year tournament at Mount Hua, Happy missed the tournament due to a time delay. Then, he was killed at the foot of Mount Song and was reduced to the level of a newbie. Something happened to him in the real world, and he fell sick and became a vegetable.
Then …
Once Beautiful Robes Faction learned of this news, they launched an attack that was practically suicidal to destroy Class One Hall.
They attacked Class One Hall nonstop in an organized manner!
They gathered together and instigated many sects and players who did not have a good impression of Class One Hall to carry out a revenge operation that lasted for a few months!
Previously, Class One Hall might have suppressed them multiple times, but since the people from Beautiful Robes Faction held the mentality that they could kill as many as they could, they used all sorts of methods to launch sneak attacks, assassinations, ambushes, and even poisons and traps. Then, they worked together with public opinion to attack Class One Hall, and they bombarded them until they were exhausted.
While Beautiful Robes Faction played a part in this, Wind Assault Tower had actually incited and supported them as well.
Otherwise, with just a small sect and public opinion, there was no way they could force a giant in the Chinese server into such a pathetic state.
It was precisely because Class One Hall was heavily injured at that time that Wind Assault Tower managed to catch up and gradually surpass Class One Hall. Through a few incidents, they gradually obtained the acknowledgement of the Chinese players and became the strongest faction of power in the Chinese server. One of the most crucial things was their determination to fight against Wild Wolves, and they took everything from Wind Assault Tower! They fought against Wild Wolves at all costs! From then on, they obtained Wandering Know-it-all and One Emperor's acknowledgement!
"Dream Clouds is indeed a very powerful woman, and her methods are very good."
Uncle Sword said.
"But Phantasmal Shadow managed to seize the chance to snatch the title of the strongest sect in the Chinese server from such a powerful opponent. That's even rarer!"
"Uncle Sword, do you know why I'm not willing to just be a member of Head Hunters and why I must venture deep into World of Martial Arts and step onto the stage of the game?"
"…"
"Sometimes, perhaps bystanders can see things clearly, but sometimes, if you don't truly participate in it, you won't be able to understand many of the true profundities in it! Your ambition is to earn money, and I only do it for the sake of the game. "Tea Words' words caused Uncle Sword to frown quietly.
"…"
Tea Words spoke again.
"In truth, Dream Clouds should know that Phantasmal Shadow is behind that incident. Dream Clouds used a lot of methods to fight against Beautiful Robes Faction, and Beautiful Robes Faction has indeed obtained some people's help and information. That's why every single time, our plans are unexpectedly successful." But you don't know that we originally had the ambition to completely destroy Class One Hall. We wanted to use our youth, passion, and revenge plan to weaken Class One Hall bit by bit so that it would walk down the path of destruction, but Dream Clouds made Blood Robes leave Class One Hall, and it caused many of us to immediately lose our motivation to continue taking revenge. "
"… So there's actually such a thing?"
Uncle Sword was shocked.
"If Blood Robes had not left Class One Hall and Dream Clouds had not personally admitted that she had wronged Happy, we would have continued taking action, but Dream Clouds' move was something we did not expect. Once this happened, I knew that it was impossible for us to continue carrying out our revenge plan."
"… Indeed. After all, the one who took action was Blood Robes, not all of Class One Hall."
"But that's not the greatest thing about Dream Clouds."
Tea Words smiled wanly.
"When Class One Hall saw that Wind Assault Tower's rise to the top was already set in stone, they did not fight against Wind Assault Tower. Instead, they helped Blood Robes create a Blood Alliance and gathered a large number of evil sects. Because of it, even though Class One Hall lost the throne as the strongest faction of power in the Chinese server, the person who truly controls the greatest faction of power in the Chinese server is still Class One Hall, and that woman is still Dream Clouds!"
"…"
"Aside from Blood Alliance, there's also Five Venoms, which is also a first-rate sect that can stand on its own. There's also Assassin Hall and Heaven's Music Sect, which are famous organizations. All of them are not simple. When these forces of power gather together, it's the reason why Phantasmal Shadow did not dare to officially declare war against Class One Hall."
Tea Words sighed heavily.
"This time, even though she used Happy and One Emperor's strength to fight a pretty good battle, Phantasmal Shadow's chances of success aren't high. Wind Assault Tower's strength is still not enough to overturn Class One Hall. Unless the Chinese players and various factions of power can attack in time, Phantasmal Shadow might not be the winner."
"…"
Uncle Sword went silent once more when he heard this.
"So, I'm in a really bad situation?"
"A little."
Tea Words nodded as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Uncle Sword thought about it for a while before he looked up at Tea Words in disdain.
"Alright, you've already forced me into a war chariot, and now, you're saying so many things to scare me. Are you certain that I won't join Class One Hall? I'm just unlucky. Tell me, do you need my help?"
Tea Words smiled and moved his lips. He sent a private message to her.
"Just a small favor …"
