The dozens of sect leaders who were on good terms with Class One Hall might have known that Class One Hall had begun to retreat from Beijing in an orderly manner, but Dream Clouds had definitely not told everyone about it. To make them fight against Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect at full strength and whittle down Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect's strength, she had definitely only told a few people.
Besides, Dream Clouds would definitely not release the news at the very last moment.
But the news that Happy revealed beforehand caused Barren Murderer to completely panic!
The gazes of the sect leaders at the tables in the hall were gathered on Barren Murderer's face, which was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Vice Hall Master Barren!"
"Is what Happy said true?"
"How could you do this?!"
Wandering Know-it-all stood by the side in a relaxed manner. There were hundreds of famous people in Beijing outside, and they had no reason to doubt the truth of Happy's words. Half of the people immediately stood up in anger and glared at Barren Murderer. They felt as if they had been betrayed and betrayed.
The people in the courtyard held their breaths.
They watched Class One Hall's allies fly into a rage one after another before they flung their sleeves and left. Fewer people remained, and Barren Murderer's expression turned even darker.
The Class One Hall elites who stood behind Barren Murderer also had incredibly dark expressions. In fact, they did not even dare face the other sect leaders who were gnashing their teeth in anger.
Another sect leader stood up and said coldly, "Vice Hall Master Barren, you were the one who was heartless first. Don't blame us for being unjust. Goodbye!" He sucked in a deep breath and turned to Happy.
"Clan Master Happy, I won't get involved in the matters in Beijing. I hope that Mu Clan won't provoke us either."
"…"
Happy toyed with the cup in his hands nonchalantly.
"Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect will take back Class One Hall's resource points and rearrange them. Mu Clan will not touch those that don't belong to Class One Hall."
That person's face turned pale. Even though he could hear the underlying meaning behind Happy's words, he could not ask for anything else. Was he supposed to ask Mu Clan to protect Class One Hall's allies and not be invaded by them? That was clearly not realistic!
"Goodbye."
"We'll be leaving as well."
Many people decided not to look at Barren Murderer. They bade farewell to Happy and Wandering Know-it-all before they left, leaving Barren Murderer alone in the hall.
The remaining sect leaders who originally received the news did not dare stay for long. In fact, they did not even dare to show that they were Class One Hall's loyal followers. They also left, not daring to stay for even a moment.
In the end …
There were only five people left in the hall.
Wandering Know-it-all, Happy, Responsible Hero, Barren Murderer, and Langye.
Naturally, Lang Xie of the Clear Sky Pavilion couldn't be easily disregarded.
The rumors of Sky Penetrating Tower working closely with Class One Hall had spread far and wide in World of Martial Arts. Naturally, he could not be like the other sect masters, who could just walk away and say that he had nothing to do with Class One Hall.
When he saw that the hall had instantly become deserted, Langye had an awkward expression on his face. He looked at Happy nervously and lifted the wine cup in his hands with great difficulty.
"Clan Master Happy."
"It's not the first time we've met."
However, he didn't know how to continue.
Barren Murderer's face was already red with rage as he stared at the duo. The great anger in him was like a volcano that was about to erupt.
If he lost the help from multiple sects, it would be impossible for him to complete the quest Dream Clouds gave him. Mu Clan and Chivalry Sect would have an even easier time moving north. In fact, all the local forces of power in the north would line the streets to welcome them, and they would welcome them to divide all of Class One Hall's resource points as soon as possible.
The plan Class One Hall had prepared painstakingly was destroyed with just a few words from Happy and Wandering Know-it-all. Right then, Class One Hall was truly alone. Aside from retreating, they had nowhere else to go.
"Heh, Tower Master Langye, thank goodness you're the only one left to talk to me, or else, I wouldn't be lonely in Beijing if I didn't even have someone to talk to."
Happy laughed so much that Langye's heart shuddered, and he quickly answered,
"Clan Master Happy, isn't it easy for you to find someone to talk to? The sect leaders and famous people in Beijing are all in the courtyard. There's no one here anymore, so why don't we go outside and add another seat? "
His words already showed that he was showing his loyalty to Mu Clan.
"That's not a good idea, is it?"
Happy hesitated for a moment.
"Clan Master Happy, if you have any requests, please just say them. I have nearly one hundred thousand mouths under my command, and I still need to feed them."
"As expected of the vice commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. You're indeed straightforward. I like people who get straight to the point."
"Please give me your instructions, Clan Master Happy."
Langye smiled wanly.
He had the greatest share of the resource points Class One Hall occupied. His thirteen branches included nearly fifty percent of the resources in more than thirty resource points.
But Class One Hall had been defeated, and they had even shifted all the resources in their headquarters to West Region. It was inevitable that Mu Clan would be stationed in Beijing. If he did not act wisely, with just one word from Mu Clan, Sky Penetrating Tower's resources would be reduced to zero, and he would have to start all over again.
Right then, he could only lower his stance and hope that Happy would give him a way out of this predicament. One-third of the resources meant that he would at least have one branch, one resource point, and fifty percent of the resources.
"Tower Master Langye, I heard that you've developed a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards who have pretty high ranks under you. Each of them has the right to capture fugitives and martial artists."
Langye was stunned.
How did Happy know everything?
He had meticulously trained this group of people with the goal of capturing more powerful martial artists so that he could sell or transfer them to other sect leaders to obtain huge profits. However, since he did not have many branches, and they were still under construction, they had yet to be officially used.
In fact, even the people from Class One Hall did not know about this. No one knew where Happy obtained this information.
When he thought of this, Langye's respect for Happy increased by another level.
"I do have some. There are eighteen of them, and their levels are currently only one level lower than mine. They can capture Inaction Realm martial artists or buy death row criminals and felons from the imperial prison at a high price."
This was already Langye's greatest secret, but under the pressure from Happy, he had to lower his voice and tell Happy the truth.
This matter concerned Sky Penetrating Tower's survival, and Langye did not know where the news had leaked, so he naturally did not dare to hide anything and leave a bad impression on Happy.
"…"
Right when he finished speaking, Barren Murderer's expression changed drastically when he looked at Langye.
"Death row criminals from the imperial prison?"
As a professional player, he naturally knew just what sort of great benefits Langye's ability could bring to players and sects.
It was very difficult to capture an Inaction Realm martial artist. Usually, they needed to mobilize a large number of people before they could successfully lock up a suitable prisoner.
But Embroidered Uniform Guards who had reached a certain level could easily buy and transfer them from the imperial prison. They could also capture fugitives and martial artists outside on their own.
This group of people could easily create a good and stable training chamber for a sect. There was no need for them to search for suitable targets to train. They just needed to toss the person into the sect prison, and everything would be fine.
As of current, many of the top-class sects, including Mu Clan and Class One Hall, only had a few of their branches filled up. Most of their prisons had few people, and they rarely used them.
If they had Langye's group's help, they could quickly fill up the sect prisons, and they could also increase the speed of their training.
This was especially important to Class One Hall, who was prepared to move to West Region!
…
But what caused Barren Murderer to be incredibly angry was that even Class One Hall did not know about this information, but Happy had it in his hands.
And by the looks of it, Langye did not intend to hide it.
"Langye!"
Barren Murderer slammed the table in anger and stood up to glare at Happy.
Langye frowned.
At that moment, he had already decided to completely cut off all ties with Class One Hall, so he naturally did not care about Barren Murderer. Besides, even when Class One Hall was at its peak and Barren Murderer slammed the table and shouted his name in front of others, Langye might not care about it.
"Shut up!"
With a cold snort, an astonishing sword will enveloped Barren Murderer and the bodyguards behind him, and they were instantly frozen in place by the blatant killing intent.
It was only then that the group came to a realization.
Aside from Happy, who was a huge threat, there was also another person who could control their lives and deaths at any moment — Ximen Chuixue's disciple.
Responsible Hero was currently a member of Mu Clan!
Langye cast Barren Murderer a cold glance before he turned his head around and said,
"Clan Master Happy, if you are willing, Langye can help you fill up all the prisons in Mu Clan's branch within a short period of time."
Happy also ignored Barren Murderer, who was glaring at him.
"When you can help me cultivate a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards, when will Sky Penetrating Tower's resources return to their original state? As of now, I will help you keep half of the resources."
"Alright!"
Langye's bottom line was one-third of the resources. Right now, he had managed to keep half of the resources, and he had also obtained Happy's promise that he would be able to recover them in the future. He was already delighted, and he naturally agreed to it. "If you want to become a high-ranking member of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, you just need to be skilled and clear a few sect quests from the Embroidered Uniform Guards. You can mobilize some elites from Mu Clan, and in half a month, at most half a month, I will return them to Mu Clan."
"Very good."
Happy was very satisfied.
Even though it was not a problem for Mu Clan to capture some Inaction Realm evil cult elites and evil path elites, once they obtained official positions, it meant that they could capture fugitives with higher qi realms.
For example, Myth Realm!
If there was a Myth Realm criminal in the prison every day, they could lock a few of them up.
Then, they could allow many Mu Clan members to train at the same time. Not only would their training be safe, their progress would also be astonishing!
To Mu Clan, using the greatest secret in Langye's hands in exchange for his current benefits was a win-win situation.
"Very good. Vice Hall Master Barren, eat and drink well. Tower Master Lang, Young Hero, let's go outside and greet the others."
"Alright!"
Ren Jie had just been promoted, and he was very excited. When he heard Happy's words, he quickly got up.
Langye knew that he had already been acknowledged by Mu Clan, and right now, he would naturally not miss the chance to show off and show off to the various sects in Beijing. He followed closely behind Happy.
Only Barren Murderer and the people from Class One Hall were left in the hall. When they faced the empty hall and compared it to the lively scene outside where people drank and toasted each other, the group felt uneasy.
"Vice Hall Master, let's go," someone suggested softly.
"If we can't complete the quest the hall master gave us, we and our friends won't be able to leave even if we want to."
The others nodded.
Class One Hall might be powerful, but there were also quite a number of people who hated them. At that time, if they attacked them while they were down, their journey to West Region would be incredibly difficult.
Barren Murderer sighed and exhaled. He got up with a dejected face, and under countless people's gazes that delighted in his misfortune, he quickly left Wandering Know-it-all's mansion.
