Sword Among Us c1-1268

by Black Swordsman Online

  While he remained in his house, he started cackling coldly under the shadows of his cloak. He never moved, and he did not even care about eating. His entire attention was on the crystal ball. He was worried that if he was the slightest bit careless, he would let these two big fishes slip from his hands.

  But soon, Carlson discovered something that caused him great despair.

  Even if Wind Chimes had finally gotten out of the city, did not wear a human skin mask, and did not have a guard beside her, with Happy alone in the area, no one could do anything to Wind Chimes.

  Lovely Land's headquarters was so huge that it took over a large expanse of the Chinese plains. Who could do anything while they were right under the scrutiny of Lovely Land? Who could do anything bad to Wind Chimes right under Happy's nose.

  Happy had now clearly obtained power that was equal to that of someone in the dao of heaven. He was also aided by Wind Chimes, who could fight against multiple top-class elites on her own. This group alone was already enough to make many of the players in the world stop and forget about attacking them. Even if he sent the news to Dream Clouds, Dream Clouds might also end up hesitating. After all, the current Chinese plains was not something Dream Clouds could easily influence.

  Once he got rid of his thought to kill Wind Chimes, Carlson calmed down and started tracking down Happy and his group's tracks, forgetting to rest. He followed them until they reached a small valley that did not have a city in sight within a circular area of thirty-one miles.

  As he watched, cold sweat was quickly formed on Carlson's forehead.

  In the crystal ball, Wind Chimes used the Nine Golden Needle Transformative Acupressure Technique, and the qi she exuded as well as her might strength caused Carlson to be shocked, and he was already used to seeing many powerful players in action!

  Even Happy had trouble completely dealing with Wind Chimes' attacks. He parried them with great difficulty. If a normal person went up against her… they might end up dying in the blink of an eye.

  Even though she could not use the Nine Golden Needle Transformative Acupressure Technique for a long period of time, Carlson could still tell just how terrifying Wind Chimes was after her strength had improved!

  In the past, with just a few elite Wild Wolves, they could form an ambush that was targeted solely at Wind Chimes, but based on the current situation, even if they upped the number of people involved in the operation, they might not be able to succeed.

  When he thought of this, Carlson's emotions became even more complicated.

  When he saw Wind Chimes staying in the grass lodge while Happy and his group were prepared to leave, Carlson's heart let out a loud thump, and he knew that things were about to become bad.

  Wind Chimes had become much stronger without his knowledge. If she received instructions from the sect master of Zither Sect, she would definitely become the third person from the Chinese plains who could pose as a threat to Evil Emperor, since the sect master was someone in the dao of heaven. At that time, these three peerless players would all gather in Lovely Land, and that would mean that the greatest force in the Chinese plains was all gathered in Lovely Land. With a swing of his arm, Happy could have multiple players respond to his call, and the Wild Wolves would not have the slightest chance to stage a comeback.

  Even though Carlson knew that Evil Emperor had already sent people to gather in Persia so that he could perfect Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art and was prepared to send them all into the Turkic plains, once Wind Chimes rose to power and the trio worked together, even if Evil Emperor wanted to use the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique to crush and suppress the Chinese plains, he would not be able to do so.

  "I'll have to let the leader know about this as soon as possible."

  Right after he finished writing a paragraph, something happened in the crystal ball, and it attracted Carlson's attention once more.

  When Carlson saw a female player whose origins he did not know and who had a low qi realm kowtowing to the sect master, his solemn expression instantly turned really dark.

  The person who would come to possess Heavenly Saber Song Que's legacy was about to appear.

  Right now, the legacy of Zither Sect's sect master had also been taken by Happy's people.

  Things… were progressing in the direction the Wild Wolves absolutely did not want to see.

  Chapter 1226 - Mobilized Lots of Soldiers, Trouble in West Region

  This was bad!

  This was absolutely horrid!

  Ever since they left the Chinese plains, Blood Robes never enjoyed a day of peace and quiet. Bad things just kept happening to them one after another. One Emperor was like a nightmare that just followed him closely day and night.

  Whenever he chose to settle in a place and was prepared to rest and recuperate, One Emperor would appear from some place and cause a huge ruckus. Even if they managed to keep things a secret and even if they switched to five different countries before they went to their destination, One Emperor would locate them accurately, as if he knew how to perform divinations. He just followed them like a maggot.

  There was not even a need to talk about how strong One Emperor was…

  Right after he used the black sword force, Class One Hall's morale would be shattered, and they would not be able to summon the courage to fight back in the slightest.

  As they lost and fled repeatedly and when the local forces controlled by the Wild Wolves in the five countries were crushed as well and were all destroyed by One Emperor's sword, these forces were all vanquished by Lovely Land's iron hooves.

  Many times, Blood Robes sent a messenger pigeon to Dream Clouds to ask for help, hoping that Dream Clouds could contact the Wild Wolves and send more people to protect them and reorganize the order in the countries in West Region as well as chase away the local enemy forces and Lovely Land members who had settled in the countries in West Region, but unfortunately, even when they sent the news, the Wild Wolves reacted like stones sinking into the ocean. They did not react in the slightest.

  After Blood Robes was defeated for around a month, as he looked at the shrinking team behind him, his patience and aggression was slowly destroyed.

  But every cloud had a silver lining.

  Around one hundred elite Wild Wolves rushed to West Region from different countries. In just a few days, they lit up the flames of war in the countries in West Region.

  The local forces that were supported by Lovely Land were crushed by Wild Wolves. The thousands of elite Imperial Army forces that entered the West Region countries were also attacked with the fiercest attacks. Terror filled the air of the countries in West Region once more.

  The Wild Wolves had finally launched their counterattack, and they were prepared to attack to protect their prestige in the whole world, in the Chinese plains, and the countries in West Region!

  "Damn it!"

  "They're finally fighting!"

  "Hall Master Blood Robes!"

  "I thought that Evil Emperor had turned into a coward after losing twice to Happy. He finally gathered his courage…"

  "Good news! Good news!"

  While Blood Robes and a group of core Class One Hall members celebrated in a restaurant, someone suddenly rushed in from outside. He was incredibly excited. His face was flushed red as he rushed to Blood Robes.

  "What news is it? Hurry up and speak." Blood Robes and his group were able to recognize that this person was in charge of gathering information. Their eyes lit up, and they looked expectant. If the news was able to make this person so excited, it would definitely be something extraordinary. Besides, Class One Hall needed to have good news to boost up their morale.

  But what they did not expect was that the person who gathered information would personally come over to deliver a piece of news that caused them to be in great shock for a long time, and they could not believe it even after a long time passed.

  "Great news! One Emperor died!"

  His loud voice penetrated through the air, and it
entered everyone's ears.

  The restaurant fell silent. For a period of time, all voices faded away. The only sound that remained was that person gasping for breath. It was incredibly piercing to the ears.

  All the Class One Hall elites, including Blood Robes, stared at the person who brought the news back as if they were staring at a monster. They practically had the words, "I don't believe you" written on their faces.

  "It's true!" That person's expression did not change. He explained with an incredibly agitated voice. "Wild Wolves mobilized more than three hundred elites to lay in wait at the spot One Emperor logged off. This time, the Wild Wolves have really used a lot of their resources. They sent more than three hundred elites to surround him, and when One Emperor logged in, he was instantly killed! Even the one thousand people from Lovely Land were killed in one go!"

  Boom! Boom!

  This news was like a powerful bomb that caused Blood Robes and his group to descend into a ruckus.

  All of them struck their tables and got up in extreme excitement.

  "Wonderful!"

  "That bastard finally met his end!"

  "Haha! That's great!"

  "The Wild Wolves have finally decided to be serious! Hall Master Blood Robes, tell us! What do you want us to do?!"

  The Class One Hall descended into complete frenzy. They drew their weapons in a loud ruckus, and they burned with murderous rage, looking as if they wanted to turn around and slaughter all those who killed them so that they could get rid of their past shame.

  Blood Robes' face was red. He stood straight with sparkling eyes. In the end, he pointed at the person in charge of gathering information. "Are you certain the information is right?"

  "It's absolutely true. The Wild Wolves have even sent me the battle replay," the person answered.

  "Alright!" Blood Robes gritted his teeth. He struck his fists together. "If the Wild Wolves attacked One Emperor, it means that they have indeed decided to be serious, and they've decided to put things right once and for all! Hmph! That's good… The claws Happy extended out of the Chinese plains have been completely cut off by the Wild Wolves…"

  "That's right. The Wild Wolves said this as well. With the group of elites that suddenly appeared, right now, there are at least one thousand and four hundred people in the countries in the West Region!"

  "Hiss…"

  That number was simply domineering!

  With this group of people around, who could hope to stop the Wild Wolves in their tracks?

  "Hall Master Blood Master, tell us, what should we do?!"

  The group was already eager to do something!

  But the moment they mentioned their subsequent action, Blood Robes' passion instantly disappeared without a trace.

  "My friends, I know what you want to do. But now, with the power we have left, we can't fight at all. One Emperor has been killed, and Lovely Land will definitely be on guard. They will not appear easily. Even if they do, One Emperor will be the only one who will take action, and his attacks will be even more out of control and fearless than before…"

  The Class One Hall members were not idiots. They could dissect what Blood Robes meant.

  They could not attack!

  Even if someone were to attack, it would be the Wild Wolves who would do so.

  "Are you saying that we're supposed to continue resting like cowards."

  "...Yes," Blood Robes answered gravely with a nod.

  Right when he finished speaking, the group's morale, which had burned passionately just now in the restaurant, was mostly extinguished, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over them. All of them had resigned and gloomy expressions on their faces.

  When he saw this, Blood Robes comforted them. "Don't worry, everyone. Since the Wild Wolves have mobilized more than one thousand elites to gather in the countries in West Region, this means that they're definitely going to take action in the Chinese plains. Trust me, this time, we won't be resting for a long time. Very soon, we'll be able to leave this place and return to the Chinese plains. At that time, you'll be working hard!"

  "That's right!"

  The person who agreed to Blood Robes' words was the one in charge of gathering information. He said with an excited tone, "This time, the Wild Wolves gathered more than one thousand elites from various countries. They will definitely not be placing them in the countries in the West Region to let them just admire the scenery. Also, I heard that Evil Emperor might be coming personally! He'll be able to reach within the next few days!"

  The group had their curiosity piqued, and their hearts burned with great passion again.

  "Evil Emperor?"

  "And he deployed more than one thousand elite Wild Wolves!"

  "He sent all of them into the West Region… What are they thinking of doing?"

  "Could it be that he wants to invade the Chinese plains now?!"

  They longed to gossip. The group used their imagination and discussed things.

  Blood Robes used his fastest speed to give orders.

  They seized time and immediately set up Class One Hall's headquarters. They also searched for a suitable place to set up their station. At the same time, while they were protected by the Wild Wolves, they quickly set up various branches in the countries in West Region.

  When Blood Robes received the news, Dream Clouds had also received news that more than one thousand top-class elites from Wild Wolves had quietly gathered at West Region!

  One Emperor was killed, and the Lovely Land members were all murdered. Part of Lovely Land's forces crumbled, and the forces who were formerly in power were in authority once more. These pieces of news caused Dream Clouds to notice that the situation in the country in West Region had changed drastically. At the same time, she managed to guess why Evil Emperor sent his forces to West Region in such an aggressive wave. He was definitely trying to mislead the public and divert Happy as well as Lovely Land's attention. He wanted to use the chance when they were on guard to venture into Turkic land and search for the distressed Martial Paragon Bi Xuan.

  To Dream Clouds, this was great news.

  Once Evil Emperor turned Martial Paragon Bi Xuan into a furnace and perfect Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds, and he would be able to suppress Happy. There were more than one thousand supreme-grade elites in Wild Wolves, and if they worked together as well as used their newest trump card—the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique—it would not be difficult for them to kill One Emperor to suppress the players in Chinese plains.

  When she thought of this, Dream Clouds could not help but suck in a breath and look outside.

  She had already not left this restaurant for days, and she lost count of the days she was not regarded with respect from others.

  At that moment, she knew that her chance had arrived.

  "I, Dream Clouds, am about to return to the stage of the Chinese plains with Class One Hall!" As she spoke, Dream Clouds gently touched the silver martial arts manual with golden lettering. She slowly c.a.r.e.s.sed the two golden words on the cover.

  Sunflower Manual!

  "Hall Master!"

  The door was pushed open. A person came in and said, "We received news from that side. They have already managed to figure out the top three people for Lovely Land's tournament."

  "Oh?" Dream Clouds c.o.c.ked an eyebrow. She instantly became interested. "Who are they?"

  "The first is Wind Void! I believe you're familiar with her," that person said.

  Dream Clouds frowned. "The former sect master of Chivalry Sect?"

  "That's right. She's not easy to buy over."

  "She's rich, and she doesn't lack money at all. Besides, after I destroyed Chivalry Sect, she went up against me in every way possible. The possibility of us buying her over is zero. If her winning rate is the highest, think of a way for her to not attend the tournament." A fierce light shone in her eyes as Dream Clouds instructed the two people behind her.

  "Another one
is an elite from the Murong Clan. His name is Whirlwind Young Li."

  "Where is he from? I've never heard of him before."

  "I heard that he's Happy's fan. Some time ago, he was acknowledged by the Murong Clan, and he obtained the ultimate technique, Shifting Stars. He used this to win against dozens of top-class elites during the pre-tournament, and he never lost. He's the greatest dark horse in this tournament!"

  "...It'll be difficult to buy him over too."

  "The third person is Orochimaru. He's the easiest to be bought over…"

  "I remember this person. He's someone famous of the Evil Rank, right?"

  "That's right. He practices the Six Yang Strikes of the Heavenly Mountain from Spirit Vulture Palace and Star Sect's Star S.u.c.k.i.n.g Great Skill. His strength is above supreme-class elites, and he has only lost once to Wind Void. Over the past three days, he won against more than two thousand people, and his chances of winning are very high."

  Chapter 1227 - Unexpectedly Strong Lovely Land

  After Happy handed Wind Chimes and Xu Yao to the sect master of Zither Sect, he rushed back to Beijing and went straight back to Lovely Land's headquarters so that he could personally host the final segment of the tournament—the tournament between the top one hundred!

  The final tournament would be held in the tournament area that Lovely Land had applied to use. The space inside was very big, and it could contain hundreds of thousands of people. The price to open it for a day was ten million taels… of gold. But it was worth the price. If they wanted to contain all the people who received the hero's invitations, they really needed some place this big. Besides, the imperial court's elites were in charge of managing the order in the tournament area, so no one would be able to cause trouble inside, which spared them a lot of trouble.

  The tournament area was very magnificent. When Happy arrived here, the place was already packed full of people, and it was full of life.
