Chapter 1054: The Empty Headquarters of Class One Hall, Fight!

“We can consider that. Dream Clouds will need at least half an hour before she can completely destroy Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters, but One Emperor will only need ten more minutes before he unites with us in Beijing. But we only have a few people here…”

Even though she managed to increase her army’s morale, Phantasmal Shadow knew about the predicament her side suffered.

They were surrounded by tens of thousands of enemies, and the members in the headquarters cannot possibly escape safely. Most of the other Wind Assault Tower members had also just been revived at Guanlin Temple. Only a part of the people who were at the peak of their condition used Illusion Life and Death Pills. Right now, the only person who could rely on was One Emperor, who was about to return to Beijing, and the other Chinese heroes, who were vague in their stances and to whom she had no idea when they would appear in the fight.

“Evil Emperor had appeared so soon in Beijing and Class One Hall had decided to work so soon with Wild Wolves because they don’t want to engage in a fierce battle against us. That’s why we won’t need a lot of people participating in the attack against Class One Hall’s headquarters. I’ll be fine going alone.”

Happy was in high spirits.

Right now, his Marrow Cleansing Classic had reached a breakthrough, and his strength had increased greatly. Happy’s confidence had also increased by a large margin.

Phantasmal Shadow frowned and said, “That’s not very appropriate. Happy, if you act alone, you’ll have no one supporting you, and you’ll be exposing yourself to danger, because your defense is frail. It’ll be very easy for you to be ambushed and killed again. How about this? I’ll send a group of people with you to head to Class One Hall’s headquarters.

“Don’t be in a hurry to reject my offer. The people I choose are definitely reliable. Besides, I can’t attack right now. Instead of having them hang around, it would be better if they went with you to whittle down Class One Hall’s strength.”

Before her voice faded away, a person walked out of Guanlin Temple and agreed to what Phantasmal Shadow said, “That’s right. Instead of lazing around, it’s better if we can kill more. Tower Master Shadow, if Brother Happy sees worth in the hidden weapons from Tang Sect, please include my junior brothers and I in the operation.”

As he spoke, a group of Tang Sect members followed behind the young man and arrived in front of Phantasmal Shadow and Happy. “Right now, Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters is in chaos. Our hidden weapons won’t be of much use. But if we go to Class One Hall’s headquarters, we might be of some use.”

Phantasmal Shadow and the rest were delighted.

Even Happy felt his eyes light up when he heard these people volunteer themselves. He nodded and agreed to their suggestion. “I’ve heard that Tang Sect’s hidden weapons are unparallelled in the world. Today, when I saw them, I felt that my view of the world has widened.

“I’ll be pleased if you join me, but it won’t be good if I have too many people with me. I just need around three to four people.”

“That’s right. This trip is incredibly dangerous. We should preserve more Illusion Life and Death Pills for the battles ahead.” Phantasmal Shadow nodded.

“Alright!”

Buddha’s Sacred Hand readily turned around and chose three of his junior brothers. Then, he said to the rest, “Junior brothers, when I’m not around, listen to Tower Master Shadow’s instructions!”

“Got it, senior brother!”

“Understood.”

At the same time, Phantasmal Shadow swiftly chose a group of people, and among them was Wu Kuo. There were a total of twelve of them, All of them had long long breathing and were filled with a murderous air.

Happy surveyed the sixteen people. These were all of Wind Assault Tower’s best in the area. Happy did not say anything to stir up their morale. His gaze just turned dark.

“We mustn’t delay matters… Let’s go!”

The group had already returned to the peak of their conditions.

Once he finished speaking, the seventeen activated their lightness skills and flew over the crowd outside Guanlin Temple like startled birds. They shot through the streets with just a few jumps at astonishing speed and headed to Class One Hall’s headquarters.

“This is…”

“No good!”

“Hurry up and tell the tower master! Happy has brought men to our headquarters!”

Class One Hall and Wind Assault Tower were located in different directions. The Class One Hall members near Guanlin Temple saw through Happy and the others’ goals with just one glance, and multiple messenger pigeons flew to the sky from Guanlin Temple.

The group from Wind Assault Tower all looked incredibly anxious.

The Wind Assault Tower elders looked away and stared at Phantasmal Shadow worriedly.

“Tower master…”

“Don’t worry. Unless Evil Emperor personally heads there, no one can stop Happy.”

“But Vice Tower Master Wu and the rest…”

Phantasmal Shadow frowned. She naturally knew that the elder was worried about Wu Kuo and the others’ safety, and her expression suddenly became incredibly stern. “Elder Huang, you must understand that this battle concerns Wind Assault Tower’s survival and also the future of the Chinese server’s life. Regardless of whether it is Wu Kuo or me, even if we die, we must not retreat. Besides, did you actually think that Wu Kuo and the others do not know that this trip is dangerous?”

A few of the elders beside her had their expressions turn dejected, and they quietly took over the conversation.

“Yeah…”

“If I can, I’d throw myself into the fight as well.”

“If we can largely whittle down Class One Hall’s power in this battle, even if all of us die, we’d have died a worthy death.”

Elder Huang said nothing. It was only then that he understood why Phantasmal Shadow released a group of people to head to Class One Hall’s headquarters.

*****

Not much time was needed to move from Guanlin Temple to Class One Hall’s headquarters. With how fast top-class elites moved, in five minutes, they managed to reach Class One Hall’s headquarters.

The situation over here was different from the situation at Wind Assault Tower.

Since Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters had gathered together all the people’s attention in Beijing, Class One Hall’s headquarters was in a very quiet state. No players could be seen on the streets nearby, and it was so quiet that it was strange.

When Happy and his group arrived at the territory belonging to Class One Hall’s headquarters, not a single Class One Hall member could be seen on the large field in front of the headquarters.

A violent gust of wind blew, and dust danced in the air.

The main door to Class One Hall’s headquarters was shut tight.

The air was filled with a thick, grim air.

Once the group landed on the ground, even Buddha’s Sacred Hand had his attention attracted by this strangely quiet and bizarre atmosphere, and they instantly had their guards up.

“Class One Hall’s members already knew that we’d be coming here.

“Everyone, be careful.”

Wu Kuo’s expression was solemn when he turned his head around to give them this instruction.

The group nodded.

Boom.

A grave sound rose. The group activated their qi realms and body fortifications one after another.

Class One Hall might be wantonly attacking Wind Assault Tower right now, but it was impossible for them to not arrange a large group of people to stay and guard such a large base.

Seventeen people could only be considered as a small group, and now, when they faced this situation, they had to increase their guard, because it was very easy for them to die before they achieved their goal.

“Looks like Class One Hall wants us to waste our time talking here…” But Happy knew that Dream Clouds would definitely not readily send a large group of people over to die over here, and he also knew that the headquarters was definitely full of dangers. He immediately smiled, turned his head around, and said to Wu Kuo and the rest, “Stay here. I’ll take point and check Class One Hall’s strength.”

“Alright!”

“Brother Happy, be careful!”

Happy nodded and smiled. He turned around and took one seemingly slow step toward the main door of Class One Hall’s headquarters.

Wave-like Subtle Steps!

He traveled several dozens of feet with just one step, and the distance of 328 feet between him and the main door was reduced to zero within the span of a breath.

Wu Kuo and the rest looked around on high alert. They also stared at Happy nervously as he arrived at the foot of the stairs to the main door. Their gazes focused.

Boom!

The thick and red door held together by bronze needles was cut to pieces by Recondite Steel Heavy Sword. With a loud whoosh, the pieces crashed into the hall of the headquarters in a devastating manner.

“There’s no one around?”

Wu Kuo and the rest saw something that made them dumbfounded when they saw the inside of the headquarters through the entrance.

The large hall in the front yard was empty. Not a single person was found.

Happy had nonchalantly destroyed the door to the sect, but not a single person from Class One Hall had come out to meet him. It was so silent that it was abnormal.

“We’ve arrived at the entrance, but there’s not a single reaction. Could it be that Class One Hall doesn’t want to fight?”

Wu Kuo’s expression was grave. “It’s possible. Right now, the news of Class One Hall working together with Wild Wolves has been verified. The factions of power in the Chinese server have sharpened their weapons and are ready to fight. If Class One Hall can’t do their best to preserve most of their strength in this battle, they might not be able to withstand Wind Assault Tower’s counterattack in the future. Based on Dream Clouds’ personality, it’s highly likely that she would temporarily ignore this place and focus on taking down our headquarters.”

“Damn it!”

“Dream Clouds is too shameless.”

“We shouldn’t pay attention to so many things. Even if Class One Hall isn’t around, we still have to have to do what we came here to do, and we have to do it well!” Wu Kuo quickly came to a decision and ordered, “Lin Xuan, Verdant Abyss, go to the high spots to the left and right and monitor the outside of the headquarters. Others, follow me into Class One Hall. We’ll attack its foundation!”

“Haha! That’s exactly what I was hoping to hear. I’d like to see their expressions when they face hundreds of thousands of black messenger pigeons in their faces!”

Buddha’s Sacred Hand, Wu Kuo, and the rest charged into Class One Hall’s headquarters.

*****

Happy went to a high spot and used his spiritual senses to scan through the area, but he did not detect any sign of anyone living in Class One Hall.

Dream Clouds had actually ordered all the members who were left behind to defend Class One Hall to leave the headquarters. This decision caused Happy to be incredibly speechless and gloomy.

He had happily come here to test his new strength. He did not expect that he would run into this treatment, where no one came forward to challenge him.

When he saw Wu Kuo and the rest surround the foundation and attacking it madly, Happy did not join in. He just watched from above and quietly frowned while he made calculations.

Dream Clouds was indeed not a simple woman.

Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters was definitely going to fall into ruin before the headquarters over here.

Once Dream Clouds was done over there, she could return en masse to provide reinforcements, and by then, the foundation over here would still be safe and sound.

Happy did not quite wish to be fawned over by this group of people and waste his time here.

*****

At that moment, Happy frowned slightly. Fear had bloomed in his heart!

He looked in the direction where Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters was.

A presence that brought fear in his heart was rushing over here from that direction, and it was swiftly getting close to Class One Hall’s headquarters.

‘It’s him! He’s here…’

Happy’s heart became grave.

He originally wanted to use the people from Class One Hall to test his new strength and examine just how much he had grown. But he did not expect that his first opponent would be Evil Emperor.

“Vice Tower Master Wu!”

Happy had a thought bloom in his heart, and he quickly warned the people below him. “Evil Emperor is coming! Be careful! I’ll go out for a moment.”

“Huh?”

Wu Kuo and the rest quickly stopped attacking and stared into the distance together.

At that moment, Wind Assault Tower elites Lin Xuan and Verdant Abyss, who had been monitoring the area from high spots to the left and right of the headquarters, rushed over. Their expressions were pale, and their voices filled with an urgent tone. “It’s Evil Emperor!”

“Got it.”

“Brother Happy, do you really not need us to help?”

Happy looked around the quiet and wide space around him, and a heroic spirit rose in him. “No need.

“So… Dream Clouds ordered all the people here to retreat because she wanted to create an environment for Evil Emperor and me to fight, and where no one can disturb us…

“I can’t avoid this battle. If you join, I won’t be able to attack at ease. But this is a chance! You can tell Phantasmal Shadow that Evil Emperor is over here.

“Tell her as well that Evil Emperor might not be able to leave for a period of time, and that she is to do things based on this possibility.”
