Yet later, a person called Young Lonely Black came to him and said he was there to visit him based on the orders of the sect master of Lovely Land. It was only then that Orochimaru noticed to his shock that he had long since been under Happy's surveillance. Hence, he was forced to change his thought processes and decisions.
Of course, what caused Orochimaru to completely side with Lovely Land was the words that Young Lonely Black delivered to him on behalf of Happy.
"Once you obtain Heavenly Saber Song Que's legacy, you just have to serve Lovely Land for one year, and you can be free."
The other reason behind it was the strength Happy displayed during this battle.
He managed to fight head on against Evil Emperor.
It shocked Orochimaru, and he was forced to reevaluate Happy's strength.
Also, there was the number of supreme-class elites Lovely Land possessed, along with the fact that Wind Chimes and the others had managed to instantly neutralize Green Lit Wooden Fish's attack and kill him.
The strength Lovely Land displayed was enough for Orochimaru to deny the future Dream Clouds dreamt of.
She promised that Evil Emperor would suppress Happy and kill him, that the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique would be unstoppable, and that if he worked together with Green Lit Wooden Fish to betray Lovely Land to destroy the Chinese plains' Imperial Army and worked together with the chaos in the Chinese plains, they could change the power layout in the Chinese plains.
By the looks of it, the three things Dream Clouds thought would happen would not happen smoothly at all!
If Dream Clouds had already launched her plan in the Chinese plains, once Happy and the rest went back, what Dream Clouds would be seeing was inevitable destruction.
Besides, the Chinese plains was still ruled by Lovely Land. At that time, all the people who turned traitor would not be able to stay in the Chinese plains.
Regardless of whether it was because of Happy's intimidating might or his future in the Chinese plains, Orochimaru had undoubtedly sided completely with Lovely Land.
Orochimaru soon received a private message from Howling Moon.
"Elder Orochimaru, we can take action now. Lead fifty supreme-class elites each with Whirlwind Young Li. The Chinese army will push forward. I'll leave the person with the huge weapon to you."
After he finished receiving the message, Orochimaru looked up and quickly locked down on his target. Then, without hesitation, he delivered Howling Moon's orders.
"Kill them!"
With Orochimaru and Whirlwind Young Li joining the ranks, the stalemate in the battlefield was instantly broken.
One of them was like a poisonous snake. He moved like a phantom and was ruthless. Once he locked on his target, his shortswords would move like the fangs of a venomous snake. Very quickly, he would leave behind two wounds that would rot away swiftly. Those who were attacked would cry out in pain, and their strength would plummet.
Orochimaru moved through the crowd like a tornado and quickly created chaos. That chaos invaded the depths of the enemy lines.
Wherever he went, his enemies' strengths would deplete, and the people from Lovely Land and Chivalry Alliance had their pressure largely decrease. Gradually, they gained the upper hand and slowly pushed forward.
The other one was Whirlwind Young Li. Even though he did not have Orochimaru's movement speed and that rare venom, when he used Star S.u.c.k.i.n.g Great Skill, he would gain qi worthy of someone in Myth Realm. But if he were careless when he attacked, his qi would flow out from him too quickly. If the situation was light, he would just suffer from chills and be unable to move, but if the situation was bad for him, his qi realm would plummet, and he would be beheaded by the people around him.
Executing Star S.u.c.k.i.n.g Great Skill in a crowd had always been something dangerous, but with Shifting Stars, before the attacks could land on him, he could send them back. Hence, Whirlwind Young Li was relaxed. As his confidence increased, he started using larger movements, and his AOE gradually increased as well!
Both of them were like two tornadoes that led the Lovely Land members as they launched their counterattack.
Meanwhile, while the Wild Wolves and the Imperial Army were fighting fiercely against each other, Lovely Land's headquarters faced tens of thousands of foreign elites and tens of thousands of Class One Hall elites.
Dream Clouds led the army herself, and she was dressed in bright red. She stood at the stone Qilin placed at the entrance of Lovely Land's headquarters.
Outside the door were hundreds of corpses. They were strewn all over the place in a mess. Their faces were stuck full of needles, and they looked terrifying.
At the foot of the flight of steps were Blood Robes and Barren Murderer, both former giants in Class One Hall. With complicated gazes, they stared at the golden plate hanging above their heads.
Lovely Land.
Their gazes were filled with murder.
Chapter 1260 - Blood Robes Is Humiliated
When she appeared at Lovely Land's headquarters, Dream Clouds killed hundreds of Lovely Land members outside the headquarters without hesitation. While dressed in her wide red robes, she slowly landed on the Stone Qilin's head.
Rumble…
As a grave sound rose, the Stone Qilin that weighed more than five hundred kilograms moved.
It moved from the left of the door to the center. Then, when the qilin's head faced the center of the door, it stopped moving.
Whoosh!
Dream Clouds flung her wide red sleeves to reveal her awe-inspiring but incredibly charming face before the black mass of Lovely Land members in the headquarters' square.
When she saw the group of supreme-class elites who led the army in the headquarters, her pupils narrowed a little. Then, a cold glare shone briefly in Dream Clouds' eyes.
Ji Feng came to the door of the headquarters when he heard of the news. When he saw Dream Clouds, his gaze instantly turned dark, and he let out a cold huff.
"Hmph! I was wondering who was causing trouble at my doorstep. So, it's you, Hall Master Dream." As he spoke, he swept his gaze past Dream Clouds' eye-catching red robes. Then, she looked at the silver needles covering the corpses outside the headquarters. His gaze turned graver unwittingly.
It was Dongfang Bubai's Sunflower Manual.
He did not expect that Class One Hall's master would be able to gain such a huge blessing after she lost power.
He looked at the foreign elites who were dressed in all sorts of clothes and who eyed them with hostile eyes. Ji Feng now knew that there was a reason behind why Happy had asked him to stay and defend the headquarters.
These people must be the elites that Wild Wolves had gathered from all over the world. They were definitely not weak, and if they worked together with Dream Clouds, they would indeed prove to be quite the threat to Lovely Land.
However, Lovely Land's foundation was really strong now, and it was not something that this bit of people could hope to threaten. Hence, without any fear, he walked to the entrance.
"Hall Master Dream, what is the meaning behind you blocking the entrance in broad daylight?"
Silver Wolf and his party walked out together with Ji Feng as well.
The party had long since received a notification from Wandering Know-it-all and knew that Dream Clouds had left Beijing. Right now, when they saw the situation at their doorstep, they knew that Dream Clouds' strength had increased by leaps and bounds. They did not dare to underestimate her and drew their swords to form their formation and protect Ji Feng.
Dream Clouds did not even look at Silver Wolf and the others. She looked at Ji Feng before she said airily, "I didn't expect that you would still remember me, a hall master who lost her power."
Dream Clouds sighed, and there was a hint of mockery as well as various emotions in her words. They could even detect exasperation in her voice.
It was no wonder why Dream Clouds would have such feelings.
In the past, Class One Hall h
ad nearly two million members, and their strength spread through the Chinese plains. She had supported twelve major sects in Beijing in secret and obtained most of the resources in the Chinese plains. She had lived in glory, and when she stomped her feet, the Chinese plains trembled.
But Ji Feng was just the sect master of a first-class sect in Beijing. He was a nobody who had to act obsequiously with her when he saw her.
But now, Class One Hall's reputation was ruined because of Lovely Land. The millions of members it had was reduced to only one hundred thousand, and even if they fled to another country, her members were never able to settle down.
But Ji Feng… He was just an ant who was nearly crushed by Class One Hall. Yet now, he became a vice sect master of Lovely Land, the current strongest sect in the Chinese plains. He answered only to one person but ruled over everyone else, and he was currently treated respectfully by countless sects in the Chinese plains.
Over the period of time their positions changed, Ji Feng had sent people to kill the remnants of Class One Hall. Dream Clouds knew this very well, and she remembered all of his wrongdoings.
"I thought that you would have forgotten about me after I lost power."
Dream Clouds stood up slowly on the stone qilin as she mocked him. She looked at him coldly from above while he stood under Lovely Land's plate.
When he heard the resolute and murderous tone in Dream Clouds' voice, Ji Feng did not show any fear. He just smiled and delivered his counterattack.
"Hall Master Dream, you are wrong in that regard. No matter what, Class One Hall is still nott completely destroyed, and I would never forget about you. If we manage to destroy Class One Hall one day, I will definitely record your hall's name at Lovely Land's contribution plate on behalf of the experiences we went through together in the past. I will also write your name over there as a reminder to our sect master."
He mocked her and verbally attacked, and he instantly angered all the Class One Hall members gathered outside Lovely Land's headquarters.
At that moment, a loud shout tore through the air.
"How presumptuous! Die, you bastard!"
Ji Feng, Silver Wolf, and the others saw the person clearly, and they immediately recognized that the person standing at the foot of the stairs was a familiar person. He was Blood Robes, who had now returned to be Class One Hall's vice hall master.
His sleeves were torn. Veins popped up on his arms, and he grave off a really violent presence.
He spread his fingers to take down the unarmed Ji Feng.
Boom!
At the same time, the stone qilin at the entrance suddenly exploded without any signs. It shattered into countless stones and charged at the entrance to launch the first attack.
Ji Feng was shocked.
As expected of the former alliance master of Blood Alliance and one of the strongest people in the Chinese plains. When he attacked, he did so in a shocking manner. His qi was so strong that it did not lose to Whirlwind Young Li, who had shown his strength during Lovely Land's tournament. It seemed like he had not neglected his training during the one month he fled. In fact, he had improved quite a lot.
However, Silver Wolf and the others protected him, and Ji Feng was not worried. He calmly watched Blood Robes and the stones rush at him with an aggressive presence.
Ji Feng did not move, but Silver Wolf and his party drew their swords without remaining idle.
Four of them drew their swords together simultaneously.
The clear and pleasant sword w.h.i.n.es were like the sounds from four springs. They managed to create a calming presence among the mighty momentum that Blood Robes had released.
Their qis fused together, and an invisible barrier was released from their longswords.
Buzz!
The sword w.h.i.n.es echoed in layers, and they were like layers of gentle but firm ripples. They pushed forward as if they possessed physical form.
Buzz!
The stones that came from the shattered stone qilin pounced forward from behind Blood Robes, but they acted like tofu and were crushed into pieces by the layered ripples that pushed forward.
This shocking sight appeared before Dream Clouds, Ji Feng, Silver Wolf, Knife, Bar, and Thunder's calm gazes.
But the others watched this incredibly mystifying scene in shock. They were dumbfounded.
He knew that he had used his full strength during the stone attack just now, and even someone in the later stage of Myth Realm would have to fend against it seriously. But when Silver Wolf and his party set up their formation, the sword w.h.i.n.e they created when they drew their swords was enough to block his stone attack, and this had indeed caused him to be incredibly surprised.
This strength showed that they were already much stronger than when they fought in the tournament!
Even though Blood Robes was shocked and surprised, the attack was now too close to them, and even if they changed moves, it was already too late.
Besides, even martial artists in the peak of Myth Realm could escape from his attack unscathed.
Clang!
The four swords w.h.i.n.ed.
Four powerful presences rose from Silver Wolf and his party, and like a waterfall flowing backwards, they gathered together to form a presence that could make the heavens itself tremble. At the moment Blood Robes' hand reached Ji Feng, their attacks rammed violently into Blood Robes' c.h.e.s.t.
Bang!
He trembled.
He had used Star S.u.c.k.i.n.g Great Skill to push his qi to Myth Realm, and he was now almost as strong as someone at the peak of Myth Realm, but Silver Wolf and his party had managed to knock him away without batting an eyelid.
They did not hesitate or stop in the slightest.
Four terrifying, bloody gashes were left on Blood Robes' robes. With blood droplets flying in the air, he was thrown off.
Bang!
He was flung from the stairs and crashed on the ground outside Lovely Land's headquarters. His hair was a mess, his breathing was chaotic, and his face was pale.
"Impossible! How could you…?"
With Star S.u.c.k.i.n.g Great Skill, Blood Robes managed to obtain a powerful foundation of qi, which allowed him to take Silver Wolf and his party's sword qi without dying. He stood up while swaying, and his eyes were filled with disbelief, confusion, and anger.
He watched the tournament in Lovely Land multiple times and analyzed the overall strength of the few supreme-class elites who managed to stay until the end of the tournament.
He also paid great attention to Silver Wolf and his party.
Even though their sword formation was powerful, Whirlwind Young Li had easily tore through it. Logically speaking, they should not have been able to become so terrifying in just a few days.
But that was the truth.
The four of them had not used too much strength and released an attack that did not lose to someone at the peak of Myth Realm!
The attack just now was equivalent to a joined attack created by four people at the peak of Myth Realm. It was already comparable to the full-powered attack from someone at the dao of heaven.
He could not imagine how a group who had not been able to win against Whirlwind Young Li would be able to improve to this degree in just a few days!
Silver Wolf was an observant person, and he could naturally see the puzzlement and loathing in Blood Robes' eyes. But he did not show emotion on his face. He just cast Blood Robes a faint glance before he turned his head to face Dream Clouds.
At the same time, Knife, Bar, and Thunder simultaneously turned to look at Dream Clouds.
Blood Robes was indeed very powerful.
Unfortunately for him, One Emperor had chased after him too tightly, and he only had a little bit of time to train. Even if he did manage to improve, he was still a little lacking compared to Whirlwind Young Li.
Even though both of them had power equivalent to someone at Myth Realm, that slight difference in strength was enough to make sure that Blood Robes w
as not Silver Wolf and his party's opponent.
Besides, Silver Wolf and his party had gone through training that was over their limits after Happy and the rest left the headquarters.
There were a few people in the sect prison who were at the later stage of Myth Realm or were at the peak of Myth Realm. Their Four Matchless Sword Formation increased by three realms, and it had long since become much stronger.
It was only logical that Blood Robes lost, because he based Silver Wolf and his party's strength off of their strength during the tournament.
However, Silver Wolf and his party did not dare to underestimate Dream Clouds.
This woman seemed to have obtained Dongfang Bubai's Sunflower Manual. She gave off a gentle and mysterious presence, making her appear unfathomable, and at the same time, they could also sense an invisible pressure from her.
When he noticed Silver Wolf and the others underestimating him, Blood Robes could no longer hold back his anger.
"Cough!"
He coughed up blood due to his anger.
Chapter 1261 - The Battle Formation of the Yellow River
Blood Robes had instantly lost. At the moment he was flung away, Dream Clouds, who had been remaining calm all this while, had a slightly surprised look on her face. But soon, she became calm again.
When she faced Ji Feng and Silver Wolf as well as his party's wary gazes, Dream Clouds spoke again. She spoke slowly, and it was rhythmic and charming.
"Very good, Silver Wolf, Bar, Thunder, and Knife. It's no wonder why Happy had the four of you stay here to guard Lovely Land's headquarters. There's a reason behind why Happy values the four of you so much, I see." Dream Clouds spoke very slowly. Even though the tides had turned against her, she gave the others an increasingly great pressure, and it was as if she still controlled the situation.
Silver Wolf and his party could not quite sense that Dream Clouds was engaging them in psychological warfare, but Ji Feng knew it clearly. He laughed and broke the gloomy and frozen atmosphere. "Our sect master didn't make a wrong judgment about you either. He knew that you were just waiting for all our elites to leave, even though you have been hiding yourself all this while. He said that you only dared to cause trouble when most of us are gone, so he ordered us to stay in the headquarters to welcome you."
