Chapter 771: Frightening Man

Once Happy placed a restriction on them, Yangzhou City’s Mu Clan members and Wind Assault Tower members all stayed within Towering Palace’s headquarters, and they were not hunted down by the Embroidered Uniform Guards who appeared inside the city.

After Towering Palace’s hopes faded away, Towering Palace spontaneously shifted the status of their headquarters to some place else and reduced this building to the status of a branch, and it was completely destroyed by an endless stream of blows.

After all, once the foundation of the palace of a sect was destroyed, the other branches will instantly, and after twelve hours, the system will automatically declare those places as free estate.

“Let’s go and rescue our friends from the Guanlin Temples.”

Happy did not look at Musical Note, Shangguan Lian, and Hai Dongqing. He gave an order without even turning his head around and led a large group of people to head to the nearest Guanlin Temple in a mighty wave while the more than ten thousand Towering Palace members watched.

Happy continued to take the lead and rode in front of the others.

*****

Once Towering Palace’s former headquarters was destroyed, black messenger pigeons descended on each Towering Palace member’s shoulder, but no one paid any attention to them. On it was the automatically generated notification from the system, and it was a nightmare that made them feel helpless.

Countless Towering Palace members had anger and bewilderment written all over their faces.

Their former headquarters in Yangzhou had always been Towering Palace’s greatest symbol of glory. The higher level of management they looked up to were there, and they were the goals for them to strive to.

Now, everything was reduced to rubble.

Towering Palace’s name was completely removed from Yangzhou City!

But that did not symbolize the end.

All of Towering Palace’s branches at the south of the coastal area were destroyed, and right now, their former headquarters at the east of the coastal area was also invaded and destroyed. It was one disaster after another, and Towering Palace had already completely lost their right to be proud.

Even though Towering Palace still occupied a lot of resources in the east of the coastal area, anyone can tell that their throne as one of the four top-class sects in the Chinese server was slipping from their hands.

Mu Clan did not even send their full forces to attack them, and they had already delivered a heavy blow to Towering Palace.

And Mu Clan clearly did not intend to end the fight here.

All of this caused the Towering Palace members to be filled with anger, frustration, and worry. They felt lost and anxious, as if they could not see Towering Palace’s future.

The Towering Palace members had already lost command.

But since the system had just officially announced a restriction of force in the city, they did not need to worry about Mu Clan’s revenge in the city, so they left in groups of three to five.

Some people left in silence.

“Say, Mu Clan actually attacked with the intention to destroy our headquarters. Are they thinking about killing us all as quickly as possible?”

“Killing us all as quickly as possible?”

“We have more than ten thousand elites in Towering Palace, I’d like to see him try! If Happy dares give that order, Mu Clan will definitely suffer a heavy loss!”

Quite a number of Towering Palace members said resentfully.

“But…” There were some who were very worried.

Even though Musical Note ordered them to give up on Yangzhou and immediately head to other cities, those cities might not be safe.

This time, Mu Clan lost thousands of their elites.

Based on Happy’s temperament in the past, he will absolutely not let this slide so easily.

Will the cities at the east of the coastal area fall completely just like the cities in the south of the coastal area? They could not tell!

Besides, while the Towering Palace members were all angry right now, those with a clear mind knew that the destruction of Towering Palace had a great effect on the higher ups, but the effect was not that obvious to the normal members.

Besides, if Mu Clan continued using the method they deployed at the south of the coastal area and used the local sects as representatives to destroy Towering Palace, many of the sects at the east of the coastal area will willingly side with Mu Clan!

There were many who understood this.

*****

Musical Note issued her order very quickly!

The Towering Palace members who were gathered around the Guanlin Temples around Yangzhou City started to disperse quickly right after Happy entered the city. The Mu Clan members were able to receive their friends who died and were revived with no problems whatsoever.

Most among these thousands of people died once, but there were also those who were more unfortunate, they were killed when they tried to leave Guanlin Temple, and their strength was largely reduced.

When Happy watched so many of his friends walk out of Guanlin Temple and gathered by his side, even he felt a heavy weight in his heart.

This number was nearly one-third of Mu Clan’s elites.

All of them were great players.

If their progress in the future was hindered because of their deaths this time, it will be a huge blow to Mu Clan!

Happy immediately issued an announcement in front of the people without hesitation.

“Make a record of all those who died once here, and make sure they receive two million contribution points each! For those who lost their equipment, you can choose anything you like from the spoils this time. You will also have priority in using the clan prison!

“For the twenty or so clan members who died twice or more, we will not be giving you any contribution points, but once you go back, each of you will receive one Illusion Life and Death PIll, along with one four-echelon grade one masterpiece.”

Silence fell among the people for a moment after Happy said this.

But immediately after that one instant, the crowd burst into commotion, and they cheered!

The contribution points and equipment filled up the economical losses these Mu Clan members suffered. The right to use the clan prison also allowed these people to have an even better training environment. Even though they had a bit of their strength compromised, they will not be in any sort of danger in the clan prison, and this group of people were instantly completely freed of any trouble that might strike behind them.

As for those who died twice or more times, they received a blessing in disguise. They were lucky enough to taste an Illusion Life and Death Pill, which was worth ten thousand taels of gold…

Not only will their strength be recovered fully, they will also receive one four-echelon equipment.

“What a huge expenditure.”

“Whew, as expected of Mu Clan… and as expected of Happy.” Phantasmal Shadow, Wu Kuo, and the rest outside the crowd were deeply shocked by Happy’s words.

He was giving contribution points to nearly four thousand people, and that alone was already worth nearly ten billion! The equipment he was giving away was secondary, because he was also handing out Illusion Life and Death Pills, which were not sold in the market even if there was a demand for it. Each pill was incredibly valuable, and even high-ranking players like Happy will stock up on these items, but Happy had released more than twenty of them in one go.

This expenditure and boldness was something not many people could imitate in the entire Chinese server.

And after this incident, Mu Clan’s prestige will not drop at all. Instead, because of this battle, more Mu Clan members will give their everything without fear!

“This man is pretty terrifying.”

“…What?” Wu Kuo cast a few glances at his surprise in surprise. He seemed to be puzzled over why Phantasmal Shadow would describe her own ally as terrifying.

Phantasmal Shadow exhaled deeply. “He’s facing a loss of one-third of his elites, and yet, he can handle this so calmly. He can throw all of the clan’s profits into the refinement of weapons and creation of pills, and it’s no wonder why these Mu Clan members are willing to follow him so wholeheartedly and become so strong, but that’s not the most frightening thing about him.”

“Indeed, it’s hard to imagine this guy is just a university student. That’s eight billion worth of real cash!”

Wu Kuo nodded, seemingly understanding what was going on.

But Phantasmal Shadow just rolled her eyes at him in great resignation. “I’m saying that he announced this in Yangzhou City while there are so many people paying attention to him. He’s not only doing this to put the Mu Clan members at ease, but also making those Towering Palace members tremble in their boots. This is his most terrifying aspect!”

“Huh?” Wu Kuo could not understand.

“If Happy secretly made this decision, he might need to spend a little more time to get rid of Towering Palace, but once news of this decision spreads and travels into those Towering Palace members’ ears, do you know what effect it will bring?” Phantasmal Shadow sucked in a sharp breath, and she suddenly pitied the Music sisters a little.

These two women chose such a terrifying opponent.

While Wu Kuo continued asking her questions with a bewildered expression, Phantasmal Shadow said with a myriad of emotions churning in her, “Towering Palace… might end up falling apart on their own within a short period of time.”
