Thunderous Battle naturally did not know that the leaders of the four sects had actually contacted Mu Clan four days ago about them asking for Phantasmal Crystals and learned that Heartless Iron was actively going into isolated training to try and get his equipment to the fourth echelon.
They were originally filled with expectations toward the best Forgemaster in Mu Clan. They hoped that Mu Clan could use the first fourth-echelon masterpiece to establish their status as a powerful sect that could rival Class One Hall, Chivalry Sect, and Towering Palace in one go.
But to their surprise …
Over the next few days, Mu Clan remained calm.
Even when Heartless Iron came out of isolated training, the Divine Weapon Rank remained calm, and not a single fourth-echelon masterpiece appeared.
But clearly …
They failed to reach the fourth echelon.
But it was not surprising. Even though they had a group of Forgemasters, their failure rate was shockingly high.
The four sects in Baokang County Town felt that it was a pity, but they did not mention this sad matter to Thunderous Battle. Instead, they used the opportunity of Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens to invite everyone to the banquet and had Chivalry Sect's branch master Look Up at the Swans bring it up.
When he noticed his old friends' concerned gazes, Thunderous Battle was stunned for a few seconds before he finally remembered.
"Oh, so you're talking about that …" Thunderous Battle laughed awkwardly.
"There's nothing much to say. Besides, Mu Clan didn't lose all the money we earned last time."
Everyone said nothing, but disbelief appeared on their faces.
Even though Mu Clan had spent a lot of money on their previous two operations, they had spent a lot of money this time. They had at least seven sets of fourth-echelon materials and seven third-echelon grade one masterpieces. If they all failed, they would lose two billion taels of silver.
Among the large sects in the game, there were not many who could easily gather two billion taels of silver crumbs, much less spend it all on a whim.
They were also worried that Mu Clan would suffer a blow because of their failure. Chivalry Sect's Lin Xiao was the most anxious, and he expressed his good will to bear the risk for Mu Clan for a period of time.
The other three sects also expressed that they could pay for the transaction in installments. After all, they were not as rich as Chivalry Sect.
"Hehe, I appreciate your good will. If I really need your help, I will definitely ask for it. Right now, I'm indeed a little too worried. Mu Clan still has one billion taels of silver in their accounts, and there are thousands of refined masterpieces in the clan storage. They also have more than two billion taels of silver in their resources. You know the amount that comes into their accounts every day, so we will not lack money."
Thunderous Battle's explanation finally allowed the four to relax slightly. They released sighs of relief when they learned that Mu Clan could get through the disaster. With the resources from Baokang's Shennongjia, they would be able to make up for their losses in less than half a month.
"By the way, Old Thunder, how's Happy now? I heard that he was still in the royal mausoleum yesterday. Why, is he also planning to give up the Light Peak mission? "
He was in the royal mausoleum yesterday, and he still, and Dragon Alliance.
After all, a few days ago, Happy had also entered Life and Death Realm and stopped at the middle of Dragon Rank.
As a famous martial artist who led all sorts of high-end news in World of Martial Arts and was the first elite to kill a Moksha Realm NPC alone, many people believed that Happy would definitely not miss out on the storyline quest for the final battle at Light Summit.
However, there were also people who believed that Happy would not dare to appear at Light Summit.
The three monsters of Class One Hall were all successors of ultimate techniques, and their popularity was very high.
Over the past two days, the three monsters of Class One Hall had equipped third-echelon grade one masterpieces. Some people said that Blood Robes' Star Sucking Great Skill could absorb his enemy's qi and turn it into his own. He could easily fight against any martial artist, including the legendary first and second on Dragon Rank, One Emperor, and Zhou Yu.
Vice Hall Master Barren Murderer might have died once, and his strength was greatly reduced, but his King of Abyss Art was incredibly outstanding. A few days ago, he had killed a Moksha Realm NPC in a very flashy manner, and his reputation had increased instead of falling. Some people said that once he returned to his peak, Barren Murderer's strength would not be beneath Blood Robes'.
As for Dream Clouds …
Once Phantasmal Shadow chased her down from the top of Phoenix Rank, she snatched her spot back over the past few days. It was said that her Divine Flames Art had improved, but her reputation seemed to have been overshadowed by the two vice hall masters.
In that sort of situation, Class One Hall had clearly recovered from the disadvantage of their branch being destroyed and Barren Murderer dying. A group of people who wanted the world to be in chaos spread rumors that Class One Hall might use the chance to attack Mu Clan. At the same time, there were also rumors that Happy would give up on Light Summit and attack Class One Hall's headquarters.
It was precisely because of this reason that the relationship between Mu Clan and Class One Hall was pushed to the heart of the storm.
In the face of Absolute Nonsense and the others' questions, Thunderous Battle shrugged in resignation.
"We don't know yet, but we can't ignore Class One Hall's threat. If Class One Hall really wants to attack us, Happy will definitely provide reinforcements."
"Mu Clan still has a few elites like Little North, Silver Wolf, and the newly joined All-powerful Medicinal Stone. They have the strength to challenge Light Summit."
"They won't go."
This time, Thunderous Battle's answer was firm and resolute.
"With them serving as garrison, Class One Hall will at least have to be wary. After all, Silver Wolf and Little North's strength is not something they can ignore, unless Class One Hall completely gives up on Light Summit. If they leave, Class One Hall will definitely attack Mu Clan without hesitation. After all, nearly half of Mu Clan's members are not strong enough to fight, and they don't have many elites. Once these people leave, they will be like scattered sand."
The four looked at each other and nodded.
"Don't worry. From now on, our people will set up scouts sixty-five miles away from Baokang County Town. They will take turns to pay attention to the major government-made roads and pay attention to whether there are any Class One Hall members or a large number of unfamiliar faces getting close to Shennongjia. This will continue until the quest at Light Summit ends."
"Thank you so much."
Thunderous Battle was delighted.
This suggestion was very good. If they extended their guard to sixty-five miles away, not only would it give Mu Clan more time to react and help mobilize their forces, they could also use all sorts of terrain to set up ambushes, take the initiative to attack, and seize all sorts of advantageous terrain. This was very important.
"Stabilizing the alliance of the five sects is our common wish. If we don't help you, who should we help?" Absolute Nonsense said with a smile. "World of Martial Arts has only been in operation for around half a year, and Class One Hall already considers themselves to be the boss of the game. Everyone can't get used to it, but we do hope that they will come to Baokang to play. Chivalry Sect has recently set up a few branches in nearby cities, and they have more than four thousand people stationed there. With the people from the four sects, it won't be a problem for us to cripple Class One Hall."
"Class One Hall can't afford to play."
"Vice Hall Master Lin and Hall Master Red Dust have been enduring the matter regarding Beautiful Robes Faction for a long time. The branches nearby are all elites. Unless Class One Hall mobilizes all their people, they won't have the strength to fight against them. But if they do that, Class One Hall will suffer a great loss. They will have to be wary of Chivalry Sect and Towering Palace. If they only send around ten thousand people, it'll be easy for them to come to Baokang, but if they want to walk back … Hmph …"
"It'll be difficult!"
When they heard the information that Swan inadvertently revealed, the four instantly had their expressions change.
