Chapter 798: Condemning Someone for Their Errors

Rumble! Rumble!

When Blood Robes led a group of Class One Hall elites to the branch in town, the place was already emptied. Aside from a ground full of blood, the heavily battered hall, and corpses that laid strewn all over the place from the entrance to the hall and had not disappeared, there was nothing else here.

Blood Robes counted hundreds of corpses scattered everywhere…

With rage, he observed dilapidated state of the branch, and the anger in his eyes almost gushed out of him.

As one of the more important branches in Class One Hall, Dream Clouds had even deliberately arranged a group of decent archers to defend the branch. He did not expect that Happy will be so vicious in his attack. Not only did all the people from Dragon Sect die, their archers and every Class One Hall members in the branch died as well. Not a single living person was spared.

“HAPPY!!”

Blood Robes gritted his teeth, threw his head back, and shouted.

*****

In the end, Happy did not choose to destroy Class One Hall’s branch in the town even when he left.

Even though with his current damage, he will not need to spend at least half a day to destroy a branch in a town, and Wind Assault Tower’s Phantasmal Shadow had also gathered hundreds of people outside Beijing, ready to fight because she just loved chaos, Happy did not decide to attack the branch.

Even though he did not spend a lot of time spilling the blood from hundreds of Class One Hall members in the branch, it also allowed Happy to gain an inkling of Class One Hall’s strength.

The defense they gathered within a short amount of time in a small, normal town was already strong enough to reach this degree. If he truly forced Class One Hall to attack with everything they had, tens of thousands of Class One Hall elites fighting against Mu Clan will be enough to throw the Chinese plains into chaos. To him, an enemy in the open was still more adorable than a crazed enemy hiding in the dark.

*****

The incident at Class One Hall’s branch in the small town soon spread out.

Even though the place was not as lively as Beijing and there were not many people around it, which was why the speed in which news spread was not as fast as when it would in Beijing, the news of Happy committing mass murder in Class One Hall’s branch once he returned to Beijing already spread like wildfire in Beijing.

“Class One Hall suffered a huge loss this time!”

“That Barren Murderer… he just had to kill a few people in Mu Clan’s branch to feel good about himself just because he’s free, but that did nothing to Mu Clan! Haha! This time, they decided to retaliate, and one entire branch is gone. Hundreds of people died inside.”

“Not a single person in that branch is left alive, and everyone died. This time, Class One Hall might end up fighting against Mu Clan!”

“Happy’s move is seriously too brutal. The quests for Emperor’s Announcement is about to arrive, and even if Class One Hall wants to fight against Mu Clan, they won’t dare to mobilize their forces.”

“One Happy alone is enough to make them go round in circles.”

“This time, Happy has forced Dream Clouds into a very awkward position. When they arrive at the borders, things might be very lively.”

“That’s not necessarily the case.”

When Happy returned to Beijing, he listened to the news that came from the market, but he ignored them and went to Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion without stopping.

Wandering Know-it-all was having the time of his life at the table. “Come! You went alone into a wolf’s den and killed countless enemies, but managed to come out of it alive! Even when I think about it, I find it so darn satisfying! Come, let me dedicate this toast to you! Cheers!”

“Ha! Good wine.” After killing a whole group of people, Happy also felt much more at ease, as if two big stones in his heart had rolled away with a bang. He felt incredibly relaxed, and once he drank everything in one go, he suddenly thought absent-mindedly that drinking, riding, and killing before going back to drink again was the same feeling as the swordsmen in the past drinking pots of wine by the table before they flew into a rage and rode thousands of miles just to behead someone. Then, they will return to continue drinking.

The people who killed Wind Chimes were all destroyed. Wandering Know-it-all felt incredibly great, and he drank a few cups before he put down the wine cup in his hands to stare at Happy, and he warned him in worry, “Dream Clouds waiting for a long time outside the door, but you stood her up and even slaughtered an entire branch of hers. This time, she might be throwing things in her headquarters in a tantrum. You poked a hornet’s nest this time, you’ll have to be careful of her vengeance.”

“Vengeance?” Happy smiled faintly and was completely unbothered.

Wandering Know-it-all naturally knew that Happy was skilled and brave, and he will not be worried about Class One Hall’s revenge. He smiled and explained. “Dream Clouds will naturally not dare do anything to you, but don’t forget that two countries are about to go to war very soon, and when you’re at the battlefield, things will instantly change at a whim, and you can’t control it.”

“I know.”

“I don’t think you do.” Wandering Know-it-all rolled his eyes at Happy. “I’ll tell you this straightaway. Once war breaks out, diviners will not be able to perform any reading at the borders, and we cannot interfere. At that time, you will have to rely on your own abilities to fight at the frontlines and kill your enemies. No matter what, Class One Hall has been stationed in the north for a long time, and they can set up some traps at any time they want. You’ll be fine, but the others in Mu Clan will be in trouble.”

When he heard this, Happy showed slight surprise and shock. “Diviners can’t interfere?”

“That’s right. Once war breaks out, the secrets of the universe will become unfathomable. No one can predict the situation in the battlefield, which will be a circular area of 310 miles. No one can read the exact location for a person as well.” Wandering Know-it-all’s gaze was grave, and his tone was somber.

“Hence, this time, I will be completely excluded from the quests. I will not be able to help you in any way for a month.”

“That’s a little troublesome.” Happy frowned a little.

Even though every Mu Clan member heading to the borders were considered elites, their numbers cannot compare to Class One Hall, and if Class One Hall noticed people from Mu Clan, they might mobilize their forces and attack them.

Once the people from Mu Clan were surrounded, it will be difficult for them to escape or try to gain any benefits from the situation.

Happy’s expression gradually turned grave.

At that moment, someone came reporting a piece of news with a soft voice, “Master, Class One Hall’s Dream Clouds brought someone over, and they requested a visit from outside.”

“They sure came fast.”

Happy and Wandering Know-it-all exchanged a surprised glance. Wandering Know-it-all then gave Happy a searching look.

“Are you going to see her?”

“Naturally. I’ve already finished with my business. If I hide, I’ll just end up as a joke.” Happy put down the winecup and rose without hesitation. “I’ll go alone to meet that woman. You don’t have to accompany me, old man, or else, you might end up being stained with blood.”

Wandering Know-it-all was about to get up, but when he heard those words, he instantly felt his heart skip a beat. He looked toward Happy, and he appeared to be dumbfounded.

“Are you really not going to end up in an all-out fight against Class One Hall?”

*****

Practically everyone who came to Beijing before knew the address to Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion. They could easily find their way to this door, but aside from the disciples Wandering Know-it-all, there were very few people who could enter his mansion.

Even if they had multiple asked for Wandering Know-it-all’s service before and paid him millions of silver, they might not have personally met Wandering Know-it-all before.

Wandering Know-it-all’s mysterious and his wealth had already become the most mysterious thing in the Chinese server. His fame was not below One Emperor as well.

Even Dream Clouds had to abide by Wandering Know-it-all’s rules when she personally came forward to visit him. She had to extend an invitation and state her reason for her visit before she could ask whether Wandering Know-it-all was willing to meet her.

When she stood at the foot of the stairs to Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion, Dream Clouds still had such a noble air about her that people would be surprised when they saw her, because she had a prideful air about her that made her appear like a celestial being.

However, at that moment, there was a spark of anger that she had a hard time trying to suppress burning in her.

Behind Dream Clouds was Barren Murderer, Evil Wolf, Monk with Thick Eyebrows, and a quiet man with a Bamboo Hat.

The five of them stood at the foot of the stairs, and the passersby who want to walk through the street were all blocked far away by Class One Hall members. They could only watch the five people from the distance, and even if they were far away, they could sense aggression rolling off them in waves.
