Chapter 236: Issue a Declaration of War

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“No wonder the world says you are like a man from the mountains, Sister Wind Void. From what I see now, you do live up to your name. Alright, then, as your elder, I will get straight to the point,” Dream Clouds said while smiling.

She glanced at the sect members of Chivalry Sect before her gaze landed on Wind Void once again. “In truth, Class One Hall came to Wuhu because we want to borrow the place.”

Everyone’s gazes focused.

Wind Void scowled and said, “Get straight to the point.”

“Fox Cave.” With a complicated gaze, Dream Clouds watched as Wind Void’s expression changed slightly. She said with her smile still remaining on her face. “Recently, Chivalry Sect has obtained many resources from Fox Cave, and you have been developing swiftly. I have long since had the thought of coming over to observe what is going on. After all, resources that provide great advantages such as those in Fox Cave are rare, and many sects have been longing for them for a long time.

“However, it seems like some trouble had stirred up between Chivalry Sect and Fallen Feathers Sect at that time, and since the both of us are known as the two phoenixes on the Phoenix Rank, I do not want to seem to be adding insult to injury. Hence, I have been suppressing this thought for a long time. In the meantime, Chivalry Sect seems to have been getting stronger day by day. Congratulations!”

“You praise us too much.”

Wind Void might be an upright person, but she was not a fool. Based on what Dream Clouds said, she had noticed the underlying meaning, which was why she answered in a very indifferent manner.

However, this did not stop Dream Clouds’ plan of bringing her army into Fox Cave.

“Even though Fox Cave is a resource that every player can enjoy in World of Martial Arts, everyone knows about the areas that Chivalry Sect controls. I have brought my sect members to experience the charm of Fox Cave, but we do not wish to cause any misunderstanding with Chivalry Sect.

“That is why I have invited you to this place. I wanted to explain to you personally in hopes that you can understand the difficulties we women have to face, Sister Wind Void.”

Even though Dream Clouds’ original intention was to enter Fox Cave and divide the resources that Chivalry Sect had occupied, when she said those words, they sounded reasonable and like Chivalry Sect was the one who owed her a favor. In fact, she made it seem like she was acting in consideration for Chivalry Sect in every aspect, and if they refused her offer, they would be in the wrong.

Wind Void frowned and opened her mouth to say, “Sister, you’re overthinking things. Fox Cave has never been—”

“Wait!” A resonant voice suddenly spoke from the side and interrupted Wind Void’s words.

The two women frowned at the same time. They turned around and found that it was Lin Xiao who had spoken.

He had a solemn gaze while he walked out of his group with steady footsteps. When he looked at Dream Clouds, there was a hint of a mocking smile on his lips. “Hall Master Clouds, I agree to the words you said just now, but I have a question I would like to ask you. It’s something that I simply have to get off of my chest!”

He was a man who was over thirty years old, and he had a lot of experience in the workings of the world. He did not want Wind Void, who still did not have a lot of experience, to fall into the trap Dream Clouds had set up just like that.

“Ah, Vice Sect Master Lin Xiao. You are also known as Chivalry Duke, yes? Please, say whatever you want to.”

Dream Clouds might have said that, but her gaze wandered to Wind Void. There was a hint of a faint smile on her lips.

Anger appeared on Wind Void’s expression, but she did not fly into a rage.

Lin Xiao had prestige and reputation that did not lose to hers in the sect. He was the one who managed many of the things, but it was a conversation held between the leaders of the two great sects right then, and Wind Void was a little displeased when he butted in.

“Alright.” Lin Xiao let out a bark of laughter without any reservation. “We already know the meaning behind your words clearly, Hall Master Clouds. Class One Hall has their eyes on Fox Cave, and you want to take away a portion of it from our hands. But Hall Master Clouds, when you personally came to explain matters to us, did you actually have the intention to divide the resources in Fox Cave equally? Does this mean that we can also head to Rhinoceros Forest and Luohe Plains to divide half of the resources you have there as well?”

“Vice Sect Master Lin, you are indeed eloquent and skilled in debates. But how can we split those resources clearly among us? No one will know just who will get more resources than the other. That’s why it’s impossible for us to split those resources clearly—”

“Then, Hall Master Clouds, are you saying that once we enter Fox Cave, we should rely on our own abilities to see who gets the vast majority of resources?” When he said that, Lin Xiao laughed loudly. “Haha! If that’s the case, it’ll be more interesting. The fight for resources will result in conflicts. Besides, Fox Cave only has one Dead She-wolf respawn each time, and Yao Hua and his wife are also one of a kind. Looks like you’ve come here to issue a declaration of war to Chivalry Sect this time, Hall Master Dream Clouds!”

When he said his final words, Lin Xiao spoke in a booming voice, but his face was calm. The Chivalry Sect’s members around him came to an understanding at that moment. When they looked at Dream Clouds, their gazes became hostile.

Dream Clouds was quiet for a while before she sighed in the face of Lin Xiao’s aggressive gaze. “This isn’t my real intention, but with the appearance of the divine weapons, it’s difficult to not feel tempted. I’m not the only one. There are plenty of sects and martial artists who have gathered in Wuhu. Even Towering Palace has come here. Sister Wind Void, people will need to change to adapt to situations. I hope you can understand.”

“If that’s the case, why is there a need for you to make such an unnecessary act?”

“Lin Xiao!”

Right after Lin Xiao finished speaking, Wind Void called out his name. She glared at him with a scowl with displeasure prominent on her face. She could no longer hold herself back after her vice sect master had disrupted her talk time and again.

“Hmph.”

Lin Xiao knew that he had gone overboard. He snorted coldly and looked to the other side as if he did not want to attend to Dream Clouds anymore.

“Hall Master Clouds, please don’t take offense. This is how Vice Sect Master Lin is. Ever since the accident with Red Dust, he has been in charge of Fox Cave, and he does not wish anyone to bother him.”

“I can understand.” Dream Clouds smiled and nodded. “I have indeed been rude this time. Some time in the future, I will surely come to your headquarters to ask for forgiveness.”

“You’re making me shy with how serious you are, but I understand what you mean now, Hall Master Clouds. However, Chivalry Sect will definitely not let go of Fox Cave! That’s why, we shall rely on our abilities to see who can claim Dead She-wolf and Yao Hua along with his wife. I will take my leave here.”

Once she finished speaking, she got up, wrapped her fist in her palm, and went downstairs like the wind. Not even Lin Xiao and Red Dust could catch up to her.

Lin Xiao and Red Dust cast Dream Clouds a very complicated gaze. Lin Xiao then said, “I will wait for you quietly in Fox Cave!”

Then, he led his men out .

Once they left, Dream Clouds put down her cup and swept a glance at the two men dressed in normal clothes sitting by the table at a corner. She smiled faintly and left with light steps!

The two men looked away once Dream Clouds left while quietly sitting in the corner. Knowing smiles appeared on their faces.

“The hall master was correct in her guess. There will be a fatal flaw in a sect, no matter how strong it is, if they let a woman who is strong, but has no tactics and experience lead them. That Lin Xiao should be the one who is the real leader of Chivalry Sect!”

The person who spoke was not someone unfamiliar to Class One Hall. He was Situ Luoyu, the sect master of one of the subordinate sects Class One Hall had built.

The young man sitting across from him was hidden behind a drape in front of his seat. There was a golden centipede sewn above his chest. He had an arrogant and cold expression on his face.

“We can make use of this. The hall master has issued a declaration of war right in front of Chivalry Sect. No matter how collectedd a person is, they won’t be able to stay calm. Besides, it was a soundless provocation. When Chivalry Sect goes back, they will definitely make arrangements and argue over it. As long as we can get rid of either Lin Xiao or Wind Void, Chivalry Sect will just be a bunch of misfits.”

At that moment, a messenger pigeon appeared between them while flapping its wings.

“This is…”

The young man with the golden centipede over his chest opened the letter and looked at it. His face then turned livid with rage.

He slammed his palm against the table and stood up. “Damn it! Happy, you bastard! How dare you tyrannize me at the headquarters?!” he hissed through gritted teeth.
