When Happy personally led the people from Mu Clan and Wind Assault Tower to retrieve all the dead Mu Clan members from the Guanlin Temples in Yangzhou City, since the Towering Palace members had vanished without a trace, the area around them was rather calm. Countless martial artists stopped to watch.
As time passed, a rumor began to spread in Yangzhou City.
"Have you heard?" Quite a number of people discussed this matter in the markets, restaurants, and other places where news traveled rather quickly. "Mu Clan lost more than four thousand people this time, and Happy compensated nearly ten billion in one go. That's two million taels of silver crumbs per person."
"Your information is not comprehensive."
In the restaurant, people from Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi sat around the table. Melon seed shells and spittle flew everywhere.
"Mu Clan is rich, and they take good care of their subordinates. This time, aside from getting two million taels of silver crumbs from those who died, each of them will also get one piece of equipment."
"En, en."
"I heard about it. There are dozens of rather unlucky people who also benefited from their misfortune. Each of them got an Illusion Life and Death Pill that's worth cities. Whew, Illusion Life and Death Pill is a treasure that many sect masters spend a lot of money to buy to protect themselves, but Happy actually gave it to a normal Mu Clan member …"
"This is called boldness!"
"That's right, or else, why would they open up the sect prison in all the branches for the Mu Clan members who died this time to use it first? I think it won't take more than a month for these people to recover their strength. "
"I think so too."
"How's Towering Palace?"
"Heh, let's not talk about it anymore. Once the headquarters moved, they no longer have a place to stand in Yangzhou. I heard that Musical Note has ordered all Towering Palace members to leave Yangzhou and head to nearby cities and branches."
"This time, Towering Palace can be considered to have suffered a huge setback."
"That's right." One of the people at the table smiled and said, "They had tens of thousands of people working together with Class One Hall and a group of foreign elites, but they didn't manage to completely destroy the elites from Mu Clan's branch in Yangzhou. They even had someone turn around and destroy the headquarters, and they lost tens of thousands of people."
"How much exactly?"
"Probably close to thirty thousand …"
"This is terrible."
"Mu Clan managed to get rid of all the Mu Clan members who died in battle. I wonder what Towering Palace intends to do."
"What else can we do?" Someone gloated.
"I heard that once Clear Music heard Happy's announcement in Guanlin Temple, her face turned red with rage, and she left without saying a single word."
The group of people at the table were stunned.
"Logically speaking, due to Clear Music's mistake, Towering Palace's status has plummeted and a large number of Towering Palace members have died. She should give us an explanation and at the very least, compensate the losses of her disciples."
"That's true, but how can we compensate them?" someone explained.
"This time, Mu Clan sacrificed four thousand people, and Towering Palace lost nearly thirty thousand people. That's almost ten times the difference. Besides, they sacrificed a lot when they surrounded Mu Clan. Mu Clan can automatically obtain a batch of equipment, but if Towering Palace dies, they'll have wasted their money. Besides, what about the ones in the south? There are at least tens of thousands of casualties over there. Will Towering Palace be able to provide for them? "
"That's true!"
A man with a full beard smacked his lips.
"Mu Clan set the standard at two million, and Towering Palace is also a top-class sect. If they really want to make up for their losses, they will definitely suffer a huge loss based on this standard! They sacrificed sixty to seventy thousand people, and they'll have to fork out at least one hundred billion. If they add in their equipment, that number will be huge. "
"But they can't not compensate them either," someone else suggested.
"That's right!"
"They both fought for their sect, but Towering Palace even took the initiative to attack. Mu Clan had to suffer a disaster, and Mu Clan had to pay for it, but Towering Palace didn't do anything about it. I heard that someone asked the higher ups of Towering Palace whether they would compensate them, and in the end, they were scolded by a few elders."
"Huh?"
The group of people looked indignant.
"In the end, dozens of people left Towering Palace."
"If I were in their shoes, I'd leave as well. I fought for them, and they even scolded me."
"That's right!"
…
Towering Palace had indeed been forced into a very dangerous situation by Mu Clan.
But it was not because of Silver Wolf and the others' counterattack, Wind Assault Tower and a group of Mu Clan elites who came to their aid, and neither was it because Happy killed a group of Dragon Sect elites.
The destruction of their headquarters might have been painful, but Towering Palace itself still contained great power.
But Towering Palace still contained a lot of power. While they were grief-stricken and united, they could still pose a certain degree of threat and trouble to Mu Clan.
But something that Towering Palace did not expect happened.
The united spirit of grieving soldiers was due to Happy's words in public, and it caused the members of Towering Palace to swiftly crumble.
Death compensation!
As one of the top-class sects, Mu Clan publicly announced a high standard of death compensation in front of everyone! They also stated that they used the sect's resources, and it was completely reasonable.
All of this caused quite a number of players who were originally immersed in grief to be unable to help but cast their gazes on Clear Music, Musical Note, and the other higher ups.
They were also one of the top-class sects!
They had also ruled over most of the cities for a long period of time and monopolized countless resources.
If Towering Palace could bring out the same amount of death compensation, the Towering Palace members would definitely work for the Music sisters and fight against Mu Clan to the end.
Unfortunately for them …
More than one hundred billion was practically the total profit Towering Palace earned in a month!
Right now, their territory had been reduced by half. It was already very difficult to say whether they could continue maintaining and possessing that profit. Clear Music did not want to discuss this topic at all.
But …
Among the tens of thousands of members who died, there were some who regarded this matter with great importance. Once they learned of Mu Clan's arrangements, they believed that since they sacrificed themselves for the sect, it was only natural for the sect to take care of them and compensate them. Besides, Towering Palace had resources and a large amount of money that people were envious of.
The higher ups evaded the matter and evaded the matter, and the elders and palace masters ignored it, causing many people to feel that it was unfair!
The rumors spread wider and wider, and they became more and more convincing.
In fact, some people even said that Towering Palace was about to be destroyed, so there was no way the Music sisters would hand over a large sum of money to their normal members so that they could return to their original state.
Hence, the hearts of the sect members wavered, and there were some who left the sect! There were also people who said that the higher ups of Towering Palace had embezzled the sect's funds. To a certain degree, this matter had already affected the people's emotions even more than the destruction of their headquarters.
During the half a day since Mu Clan reestablished their branch in Yangzhou, tens of thousands of people left Towering Palace, and most of them were those who died in the battle.
Towering Palace's actions compared to Mu Clan's timely reinforcements and announcement made them feel …
But no one knew.
If Towering Palace really chose to provide death compensation like Mu Clan, Towering Palace could not afford to fight in the upcoming war!
After all, Happy did not intend to let the people from Mu Clan join the plan to destroy Towering Palace.
Once he said that, the death compensation would be like an invisible mouth that would devour Towering Palace even faster.
