Chapter 243: Grand Momentum

Five Venoms was stationed in Wuhu when Fallen Feathers Sect went up against Chivalry Sect. They could be considered to be a backup piece for Class One Hall to control Chivalry Sect. Unfortunately for them, Happy had taken off and rudely tossed away this piece that no one knew about out of the game.

The disassemblement of Five Members and Proud over All Life’s act of deleting his character to leave World of Martial Arts was the same as destroying one of Class One Hall’s arms! No one could swiftly gather up such a force and make them into a tight group within a short amount of time.

If Class One Hall wanted to invade Fox Cave right then, they could only work together with Fallen Feathers Sect.

Because of it, Happy had reduced the threat on Chivalry Sect.

Chivalry Sect did not know about it, but Happy did not have any intention to reveal the secret. When he found Little North and Thunderous Battle, he suggested to enter Fox Cave. Their excursion then would be different from before. If there was a necessity, they might need to head to the third level, and so, he decided to ask for their opinion on the matter.

“The third level? Yao Hua and his wife!”

The duo’s expressions changed to surprise and delight.

“I’m going! Of course I’m going! I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time!”

Thunderous Battle had been lurking around Fox Cave for more than a couple days. It was only partially because had heard of the rumors about Yao Hua’s divine vessels. He also knew that the greatest group operation the game had ever seen would happen that night. His gaze focused, and he slapped his palms together to show his stance on the matter.

Little North would naturally not miss out on such a grand banquet. He rubbed his palms together and nodded. Then, he asked, “If we’re going to Fox Cave, should we tell Chivalry Sect’s Lin Xiao and Red Dust?”

“Don’t need.” Happy shook his head. “If we work together with Chivalry Sect, things will change between us. If both of our goals are Yao Hua’s divine vessels, then who will the divine vessels belong to once we get them? Also, the signs of us going up against Class One Hall will be too obvious.”

“But if we work together, we might still not be able to go up against Class One Hall. Besides, Fallen Feathers Sect is also helping them. This trip might not be as smooth as last time…” Thunderous Battle voiced his thoughts, which was something that he rarely did.

By the looks of it, he also understood that even though they had stomped Perpetual Joy Sect, Fallen Feathers Sect, and even Five Venoms, those sects were nothing compared to Class One Hall. He was worried that Happy would recklessly decide to fight against Class One Hall, and in the end, destroy his own advantages for nothing.

After all, there were quite a few very powerful people in Class One Hall.

“I know, that’s why I don’t intend to enter Fox Cave ahead of the others,” Happy said mysteriously. “Fallen Feathers Sect hasn’t recovered yet. They will definitely not dare to appear in front of Chivalry Sect to face them in a head-on challenge. Right now, with Five Venoms out of the picture, they will not have the courage, unless Class One Hall wants to give up on Fallen Feathers Sect as well!”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Little North nodded in agreement.

Five Venom’s destruction had caused Class One Hall to experience quite a huge blow. If they lost Fallen Feathers Sect as well, it would mean that all the investments they had poured into the two sects in the beginning would end up in smoke. This was something that the hall master of Class One Hall should be unable to accept.

“Then do you mean that…”

Happy nodded quietly.

“Once the people from Class One Hall and Chivalry Sect enter, we will come in. Medicinal Stone will give us an accurate time for when to do that. Anyway, if Fallen Feathers Sect wants to enter Fox Cave, they will have to get past us! As for the third level, we can let the great sects fight to their hearts’ content over it. We will only care about finishing off what they left. Since Towering Palace has already joined the fray, Class One Hall will not dare to fight against Chivalry Sect at full force.”

The eyes of Little North and Thunderous Battle lit up when they heard it.

“Amazing!”

“Heh, then Fallen Feathers Sect is about to go up in flames… Class One Hall too. If they want to get Yao Hua’s divine vessels, they will have to fight a bloody battle against the other two great sects. Heh, I like this plan.” Little North smiled in a very sleazy manner.

“Remember the lesson Proud over All Life’s failure brought us. I’ve already reported the resources he wasted, and I will request for a deduction of his bonus for the next years to compensate for the losses!”

Many people outside Five Venoms were still shocked by the moment their sect was destroyed. Situ Luoyu, the two people from the higher-level management of Class One Hall, and a group of people sat in a private room in a restaurant while forming a conclusion of the lesson they had learned from what had happened.

“This is especially important for you, Situ Luoyu.”

The man named Barren Murderer was the one with the evil look in his eyes. He stared at Situ Luoyu fixedly, and his tone grew sterner as he spoke.

“I heard that you and Proud over All Life were the ones who planned the operation to pursue and kill All-powerful Medicinal Stone. Even though there were not many people involved, it’s better if you were careful for the time being. Tell your subordinates not to trigger Happy. Five Venoms has already been destroyed. I do not wish that the next to be destroyed… would be Fallen Feathers Sect.”

“Boss Barren, I will be stern in restricting my subordinates’ movements.”

When he remembered Happy’s mighty strength in charging into Five Venoms with a momentum no one could stop and sweeping them away with a thunderous force, Situ Luoyu broke into a cold sweat. He quickly told his leaders that Fallen Feathers Sect was truthfully not stronger than Five Venoms.

“What’s the point of you taking strict measures to restrict them? There’s something strange about Happy appearing suddenly this time! Besides, you’ve already joined the operation against All-powerful Medicinal Stone. He might go to your headquarters next to cause you trouble at some point in time.”

Barren Murderer’s words were meant as a threat to Situ Luoyu, but the man only smiled.

“Please don’t worry about that. I’ve already sent a few people to keep an eye on Happy. He hasn’t come out of White Tiger Forest after going inside. If he takes any action, I will immediately know.”

Barren Murderer and the other person looked at each other and nodded.

Situ Luoyu did indeed have some talent and ability in this regard, unlike Proud over All Life. He was too arrogant and rash, which meant that he would easily force himself into a corner. Even if he appeared in the game later, the hall master might not let him handle any sect or give him any resources that would prove to be advantageous to him. She would just let him grow and die without interfering with his progress in the game.

“We’ll be relying on you for the operation tonight.”

“I definitely won’t let you down, leaders.”

*****

In less than an hour since Situ Luoyu made his promise, night fell! A group of people moved with a mighty force to Wuhu’s Immortal Fox Village. Some of those in the group were very energetic, while some had somber expressions. They looked like they were about to face a great war.

Chivalry Sect was led by Wind Void, which was a rarely seen sight. Her two vice sect masters appeared at the same time. They mobilized more than two hundred elites, and they gained an advantageous position in the spot they usually took in the forest.

There were a few middle-sized and small sects who were rather close to them stationed beside them.

This act of seizing the terrain with great strategic importance was them using their actions and presence to show that they were the ones who had the highest position and were the ones who had the most control over Fox Cave!

There were quite a lot of people from Class One Hall as well. There were more than two hundred outer sect members, and all of them were dressed in White Tiger Battle Armor. There were also more than one hundred and seventy or so core members among them, and their equipment varied in all shapes and forms. However, their presence was incredibly extraordinary. Mystical Realm aura would surge about the area from time to time. They also sometimes showed their abilities and occupied half of the area outside the forest leading to Fox Cave.

The last to arrive was Towering Palace, which was quite late.

Compared to the geographical advantage Chivalry Sect enjoyed and Class One Hall coming to the area prepared, Towering Palace seemed to have arrived in a rush, and only fifty or so men and women were present. Even though they had outstanding presences, compared to the other two great camps, they seemed to be inferior, though that inferiority was imperceptible. It was most likely going to be pretty hard for them to join the battle over Yao Hua’s divine vessels.

Quite a number of people saw that and gave that vague appraisal in their hearts.

They discussed who would eventually end up with Yao Hua’s divine vessels, whether it would be Class One Hall or Chivalry Sect!
