  "Blood Robes brought people to assassinate Happy? He's definitely over now!"

  After this news was passed to multiple people and was changed multiple times, it soon turned into something like this:

  "Class One Hall tried to assassinate Happy, and they have now been killed!"

  "Class One Hall and Mu Clan's relationship is destroyed once more. After the wedding, Mu Clan will definitely march to Western Region and completely destroy Class One Hall!"

  "Did you know? Blood Robes and Barren Murderer actually came to Mantuo Villa as per Dream Clouds' orders, and they're here for revenge."

  There were even some people who loved chaos. They even changed the contents of the news into Blood Robes successfully assassinating the bride, and Happy swearing angrily to destroy Class One Hall!

  The entire wedding site at Mantuo Villa was in a ruckus.

  Many people became agitated, and they trained their gazes at the direction ahead of them.

  Naturally, they did not know that at the moment, Blood Robes and Barren Murderer wanted eagerly to personally kill all the stupid members behind them.

  They were originally conversing to each other about whether they should change their inventory list. After all, they were only offering some normal demon vessels, martial art manuals, and Illusion Life and Death Pills. Those items absolutely could not match with the value of an ore mine.

  If Class One Hall could not even offer those things, it meant that they would completely fall from the ranks of top-class sects, and they would be reduced to normal, first-class sects. This was a humiliation that people as prideful as they were could not accept.

  However, they did not expect that the normal members who came with them to this trip would be so stupid and dare to draw their weapons in front of Happy, at a place where Mu Clan hosted.

  This action did not only completely destroy Class One Hall's intention of asking for peace from Mu Clan, it even caused the place to be filled with hostility, and they were all ready to fight against each other.

  When they sensed the bone-chilling gazes from the white jade platform and from everywhere around them, Blood Robes and Barren Murderer instantly did not know what sort of words they wanted to use to describe how abrupt this matter had been, and how they should cover it up.

  "I knew that you definitely harbored ulterior motives for coming to my wedding uninvited, but I didn't expect that you would dare draw your weapons in front of me with just this few people…"

  "This is a misunderstanding!"

  "It's definitely a misunderstanding!"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/sword-among-us_13772664505174105/scapegoat_49583570292886922 for visiting.

  "You bastards! You asked you to move!"

  Blood Robes and Barren Murderer turned around to violently slap the two people closest to them. Their eyes were bloodshot and filled with anger.

  "Boss, didn't you order us to immediately attack once we see your gesture?"

  "That's right, we heard you sending a private message to us saying that the situation is off, and that's why we were prepared to escort you and break out."

  The group of Class One Hall members felt incredibly aggrieved. The two people who were slapped had their eyes burn in anger, but they did not know where to vent their rage.

  "When did I ever give that order?!" Barren Murderer was so angry that he wanted to faint.

  Only Blood Robes noticed vaguely that there was something off about the situation. Even though this group of members were not core members of Class One Hall, and their loyalty to Class One Hall was unquestionable, judging by their expressions, it seemed like they were incredibly puzzled and surprised as well.

  'Private message!'

  He was an observant person, and he noticed that the group of members mention a private message in the information they revealed.

  But just now, they had been talking to each other all along, and they did not give any orders or instructions…

  Could it be that someone used their name to send a message?

  How could it be possible?!

  Blood Robes' eyes shone, and when his mind raced to think of a way to solve this predicament, a voice that was cold, awe-inspiring, and enraged spread through the entire area.

  "Vice hall masters, today is supposed to be a joyous occasion for me as well as Mu Clan. I do not wish to see any blood here!"

  "...Happy, I believe that someone used my name to set up a scheme to frame us."

  Once Blood Robes said those words, even the people around them found this incredibly hilarious. All of them put on derisive and mocking expressions.

  This reason was incredibly clumsy.

  "Quiet! Today, you made a blunder of my wedding, and I will make sure that I will settle accounts with you sooner or later for what you did, but today, I don't want to kill anyone! You will either leave by yourself, or I will ask someone to tie you up and throw you into Lake Tai! Choose!"

  Once Happy said those words, both people had a thought rise in their heads at the same time.

  'We're over! It's all over!'

  *****

  The Wild Wolves who were hired and hidden in the crowd were also caught off guard by the scene in front of them. Their blue eyes shone in dumbfoundedness.

  Based on the progression of the script, they should wait for a period of time after Class One Hall offered their gift before they attacked to throw chaos to the wedding.

  They did not expect that not only did Class One Hall not manage to offer up the congratulatory gift, they had even acted beforehand. They alerted Happy, and they were chased out of the wedding site as well as Mantuo Villa.

  If Class One Hall left, their job to protect them would automatically fail, and they had no need to continue with it.

  *****

  Blood Robes and Barren Murderer felt so aggrieved that they wanted to die.

  "Darn it!

  "Just who told you to draw your weapons in front of Happy?!

  "The hall master's plan is completely ruined because of you idiots!"

  Barren Murderer scolded them nonstop while they were on their way back.

  Only Blood Robes noticed that the group seemed to have been set up, but he found that there was no reason for whoever it was to do it, which was why he had to squash down the raging anger in him while he tried to use a calm voice to ask the group exactly what happened.

  "I was talking with Vice Hall Master Barren just now, and I didn't give you any orders during that time. Think carefully, is his voice different from ours? And what exactly did he tell you?"

  "You idiots! You're all a bunch of fools to be ordered around by a stranger to draw your weapons!

  "Why are you still asking them questions?!"

  "Barren Murderer, let's not talk about this first. We have to figure out just who is causing trouble in the dark," Blood Robes said resolutely.

  Even though he was certain that Mu Clan was the one who longed for Class One Hall's destruction the most, his instincts told him that Mu Clan should not have chosen to set up Class One Hall on such an important day. It might be someone else who took action, and there was even a possibility that the person came from Wind Assault Tower or Wind and Rain Alliance.

  The group of people knew about Class One Hall's predicament.

  At that moment, they, too, knew that their actions just now had pushed into an incredibly dangerous situation, and while they felt wronged, they also felt humiliated and alarmed. They quickly told Blood Robes all about the private message they received.

  "I heard the person who sent me the message call out to my nickname, and his voice sounded like yours, vice hall master…"

  "That's right!"

  "When I was speaking with Old Lu, that person seemed to know what we were saying, and he even mentioned that Old Lu told him that the situation around him was off."

  "I didn't say anything about the situation bein
g wrong." The one called Old Lu in the team quickly defended himself.

  "The person who impersonated Vice Hall Master Blood told us not to speak privately, and he even said that the people from Mu Clan were prepared to kill us all during the wedding. He then told us that when the others were offering their gifts, we were to fight with everything we had to make a break."

  "All of us received our orders privately."

  "He told us to be prepared to attack at any moment!"

  "When those people looked over, I did hear you shout for us to take action. Then, I drew my sword, I didn't dare to stop to think…"

  The group's words were about the same.

  As he continued listening, Blood Robes was already certain that he was set up by someone! Even Barren Murderer stopped cursing up a storm and stared at the group of people in front of him in disbelief.

  In truth, they were not to be blamed.

  Sending private and secret messages had always been a rather peculiar form of private messages. It made the speaker's voice gain a wispy quality, but the speaker did not need to speak face-to-face with the target to have his voice secretly enter the target's ears. No one could discover who spoke.

  But they had not revealed any details to their subordinates, and when they spoke, they did so via private messages, because they were worried that these members would accidentally say something that would anger Mu Clan, subsequently causing them unnecessary trouble.

  Clearly, this worry had created a chance for the group hidden in the dark! Besides, that group also seemed to have someone whose voice was similar to Blood Robes.

  Those who wanted to scheme against them caught them while they were defenseless, and their hastily set up plan had caused Class One Hall great trouble. Now, they even had to face the danger of Mu Clan marching west.

  "Damn it! Just who set us up in the dark?!"

  "I don't know. We set up Chivalry Sect in the beginning, so it might be Wind Void, Lin Xiao, and Red Dust. Wind Assault Tower shares a great grudge with us, and Phantasmal Shadow is not easy to deal with. There's a high possibility that she wants to use Mu Clan's strength to kill us as soon as possible. We had quite a lot of forces who infiltrated into their midst and interfered with their operations. Night Rain Follows Wind might seem as if he's not threatening, but he might also be waiting for a chance. All three parties are suspect."

  "What the heck?! It's them?!" Barren Murderer suddenly laughed. "If Happy knew that they used Mu Clan to fight against us, would they descend into an internal conflict?"

  "Impossible. Even if we managed to deduce who the culprit is, we don't have proof. Secret private messages are entirely private matters, and we can't show it through a video recording. Besides, Happy will not believe it either. Even if he does, he will use this chance to completely destroy us. That's why, no matter what, we'll definitely end up as scapegoats for today." When Blood Robes analyzed this, his rather handsome face turned completely pale.

  Chapter 1075 - Work Together and Mobilize Forces

  The wedding of the century had become a hot topic for discussion among the players in the game and on the internet forums, just as everyone expected it to be. After all, Mu Clan's series of arrangements and the extravagant as well as magnificent scene had caused even news stations in a few cities to report a summarized version of this event. They analyzed it and said that Mu Clan had used more than fifty million RMB for this wedding, which was why they managed to create such a shocking scene.

  Mu Clan had also recorded the entire process of the wedding on their own, and it was bumped to be among the top of the pay-to-view battle replay system. In fact, a few people stated that the person who produced the video could go and become a real movie director, and there were even people who said that the people who were in charge of following the wedding and recording it were actually a group of professional students who were studying movie directing.

  The entire video lasted for a few hours since the start to the end, and there were even people who mentioned that this was a huge project that required an investment that required tens of millions of RMB, but that was if they had actually recorded what had happened afterwards.

  Of course, the "what had happened afterwards" everyone mentioned was about the Class One Hall members drawing their weapons, which the players also talked about.

  This event shocked the entire game, because someone recorded the entire scene, which was why public opinion was all directed against Class One Hall.

  Everyone accused Class One Hall of falling to a state where they only dared to use this sort of methods used by rascals to attack their enemies and enjoy the feeling of revenge.

  It was also said that many of the Class One Hall members were puzzled and could not accept this. When they learned that some people from Class One Hall had provoked Mu Clan and showed hostility when other sects offered their congratulatory gifts, more than ten thousand people chose to leave Class One Hall that day. They also left West Region.

  Dream Clouds was also furious after this happened.

  Class One Hall mobilized its forces in great tension and seriousness in West Region. The number of people at the cities and regions serving as their frontier defense had also increased by several fold.

  Even though Dream Clouds had personally posted a thread on the official website stating that she had severely punished the group of members who offended Mu Clan for no reason, Mu Clan did not respond to them.

  The wedding lasted for an entire day before it was over.

  The one million or so players who gathered at Mantuo Villa still longed for the wedding to continue because of how much they enjoyed it, and to satisfy their urge, they calculated Mu Clan's rewards this time in secret while they tried speculating what Mu Clan would possibly do next.

  When the sects left, they also stated that as long as Mu Clan was willing to, they would be willing to send their forces at any time to fight against Class One Hall at West Region with Mu Clan.

  Once Happy politely stated that he would think about it, he watched the people from the various sects in the Chinese server leave Mantuo Villa.

  The ones remaining were Mu Clan members, along with Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance's members.

  Wind Void, Phantasmal Shadow, Night Rain Follows Wind, and the elites from the three great sects all stayed. They were led into the inner villa within Mantuo Villa.

  After the four leaders and Young Yu Yan sat down, a circular area of 328 feet was cleared.

  "Thank you for helping me set this scene, everyone."

  "Clan master, you're being too polite."

  "Without your help, Wind and Rain Alliance might not have our current achievements."

  "It's the same for Wind Assault Tower."

  "Hehe, speaking of which, Happy is our savior."

  "What are you saying?" Happy smiled and waved his hand. "Everyone, you're embarrassing me. You managed to get your current achievements because of your own choices."

  "Haha…"

  "Let's not bother ourselves with these pleasantries anymore and drink. The three of us haven't proposed a toast to the both of you today. Come, clan master, and his lady." Phantasmal Shadow lifted her cup.

  Wind Void and Night Rain Follows Wind lifted their cups.

  Happy and Young Yu Yan looked at each other before they readily downed the contents of their cup in one fell swoop.

  "We'll propose another toast to the lady today. Today, you are definitely the most beautiful and happiest bride in the Chinese server!"

  "Tower Master Shadow, you praise me too much." Young Yu Yan's face was slightly red. But when Phantasmal Shadow proposed a toast to her, she did not hesitate. She drank another cup in one go.

  "Clan master, you just got yourself a great wife."

  "She's gentle and generous, and the both of you are indeed created to be together."

  After the congratulatory words, they drank again. The five people could not help but start talking about the setback Class
One Hall caused this time. "The wedding is grand and extraordinary, and perhaps no one can hope to surpass it. The only thing regrettable about it is the farce the two vice hall masters from Class One Hall created." After Night Rain Follows Wind said this, the group's smile fell away.

  Phantasmal Shadow took over the conversation. "Speaking of which, this is a little strange.

  "If Blood Robes and Barren Murderer really came here to cause a mess to the wedding, they did not choose the right time and place. Besides, they left gloomily without doing anything. It's really strange."

  "That's right." Wind Void and Night Rain Follows Wind looked at each other and nodded.

  "In truth, I thought that there is something really strange about Blood Robes and Barren Murderer's reactions since the beginning. Besides, with Dream Clouds' cautious and compromising nature, she should not have done something so sudden. It doesn't make sense, but the ones who took action is Class One Hall, and it's not just one."

  At the same time these two expressed their puzzlement, they found what Class One Hall did to be inconceivable.

  When they heard this, Happy and Young Yu Yan could not help but look at each other, and they put on a mysterious smile.

  The trio quickly captured some information based on the changes on their expressions.

  "Could it be…?"

  "Let me explain to you."

  Happy smiled and told the trio everything about what Mu Clan discovered, as well as the fact that Class One Hall was working with Wild Wolves.

  When the trio heard the story, their expressions changed a little. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/sword-among-us_13772664505174105/work-together-and-mobilize-forces_49621833351231969 for visiting.

  "So, they did indeed have a plan to ruin the wedding!"
