458 Demonic Sound Duchess

Happy was very indifferent toward the dukes and empresses spreading like wildfire online. Compared to his previous life, Chivalry Sect's strength and impenetrability had changed many things, and Class One Hall experienced an unprecedented suppression. Abyss King and Star King, who were supposed to be two of the three kings, fell to dukes, and Clear Music, the master of Towering palace, unexpectedly managed to secure her spot in the fierce struggle, but her real strength might not necessarily have reached even the levels of a duchess.

There were also plenty of players who were not from the four sects who were given the titles of dukes and duchesses. There were more than thirty of them, and their numbers were still increasing.

Among them were Bright Moon Duke, Demonic Sound Duchess, and Lightning Duke.

Happy knew those were titles from the initial stages of the game, and no one had a clear guideline on how to give them, which meant that they could change at any moment. Some time was needed for experience in giving out titles to be accumulated. Once those who took advantage of the situation where no one knew how to get the title, whose strength was unstable, and who were lucky got cleared out, a ranking that was similar to the one in Happy's previous life would appear.

However, the ranking this time would definitely be different from the one in Happy's previous life.

Of course, there was also a possibility that it would end up just like before. With Barren Murderer and Blood Robes' abilities, it was not impossible for them to return to their previous positions.

The days right then were full of stability, and World of Martial Arts learned of peace. My Clan was situated in the middle of the three great sects, but they still managed to prosper. However, the direction of their development in the future would affect the other forces of power. Mu Clan was already so strong that no one could restrict or stop them, so they were bound to expand.

They could choose to develop their sect to the south of Changjiang and grow together with Chivalry Sect or move north of Changjiang to enter a conflict with Class One Hall and continue to suppress them.

They could also shift to the coastal area and get a portion of resources from Towering Palace who had already monopolized the resources there. All of those were possibilities before them!

For the moment though, Thunderous Battle, who had taken more than ten branches formerly belonging to Class One Hall in the south, did not continue to expand his clan. Instead, he continued to excavate and distribute the resources from his cities as well as take complete control of them.

Chivalry Sect, in the meantime, paid their full attention to setting up alliances with the local sects in the south!

World of Martial Arts, thus, entered a period of peace that was rarely seen in the game. However, no one knew just how long it would last.

*****

Since Mu Clan gained more great martial artists every day, had people like Momo, Little North, and Ancient Wind who served as the garrison, and had more than seven thousand powerful fighters in War Hall, the people in Beautiful Robes Hall returned to the peak of their condition, and Mu Clan's safety was no longer a problem.

The people who originally belonged to Beautiful Robes Faction did not talk about rebuilding Beautiful Robes Faction though. Everyone was already used to going around and saying that they were part of Mu Clan, which made them part of its glory.

But that did not mean that everyone was used to living in peace under Mu Clan's wings.

The humiliation of Beautiful Robes Faction being destroyed was still a heavy weight in their hearts, and everyone was constantly on guard. The students from the University of South China never relaxed. They always recalled what had happened on that day, and they did not wish for Mu Clan to go through what they did.

Beautiful Robes, Glutinous Rice, Tea Words, One Circle, and a few others went into the depths of Shennongjia to challenge it.

Rampaging Dragon, Bloody Flying Dragon, Bum, and some others borrowed a few fourth-echelon equipment from the clan to train with Stone Giants every day. They imitated Happy's extreme training method and tried madly to master their Life and Death Realm martial arts and high-tier body fortifications to increase their qi.

Everyone used all their time to increase their strength during the time of peace!

Mu Clan's elite, Silver Wolf, continued wandering around with Wind Chimes through the World of Martial Arts.

The voices of Silver Mask Duke and Demonic Sound Duchess could be heard everywhere from Sky Demon Sect to Taichi Sword Sect.

Silver Wolf reached Life and Death Realm, and he rose to fame with his Freezing Force, which allowed him to kill with his freezing palms. He gained the title of Silver Mask Duke, but lately, the players gained an even more astonishing discovery of him.

His attacks went from extreme cold to extreme heat!

Silver Wolf's Freezing Force reached the pinnacle of perfection. The enemies around him simply did not have a chance to execute their skills before cold poison invaded their bodies. Then, Silver Wolf would just need a few moves to defeat them.

But lately, Silver Wolf's palm wind had lost its freezing chill and gained great heat.

It was a heat that could make a person feel hot right down to their core!

Their blood would boil, and their qi would evaporate. No matter how high a person's damage was, when they stood in front of Silver Wolf, they would find themselves standing in front of the mouth of an erupting volcano.

There was once a few great players of evil sects who had accidentally ran into Silver Wolf. They were Life and Death Realm players, but with just two moves, Silver Wolf reduced them to Mystical Realm. Their qi was reduced incredibly quickly, and their body fortifications were destroyed within a few moves. In the end, they did not even have the courage to face Silver Wolf and just ran away dejectedly.

"So boring. We don't have anyone to rob."

A girl in a plain white dress walked near the ruins of the damaged Taichi Sword Sect. She held a stupidly large sword casket on her sweaty back while she moved around a group of training martial artists. She looked like a small white rabbit who had walked into a pack of gray wolves. She seemed incredibly pitiful.

When they heard the girl's murmurs, a number of people could not help but shudder, and they criticized her nonstop in their hearts.

'This devil… Who would actually be stupid and bored enough to go and bother you, Demonic Sound Duchess?!'

The girl had arrived at Taichi Sword Sect not too long ago, but she had killed no fewer than five hundred people. In the beginning, Taichi Sword Sect was controlled by a few large sects in the area. Most of the resources were in their control, and players who were slightly weaker were not allowed to get close to the area, or else those sects would attack in a group.

On the first day Wind Chimes arrived, a few ignorant people went to bully her because she was practicing her sword in a clumsy manner. That was why they tottered over to ask her for protection fees.

Wind Chimes looked as if she had just seen something precious. Her sword momentum changed, and she killed the thieves on the spot!

When they called for their friends and more than a dozen people surrounded her, Wind Chimes became even more high-spirited. She flipped open the lid of her sword casket to reveal a seven-stringed zither inside!

A demonic sound rose into the air.

The group of people were controlled by the notes, and their body fortifications were soon destroyed. Then, their qi vanished, and Wind Chimes began to dance in the area.

After some time, more people gathered around them.

Dozens of people increased to hundreds of people, and they swayed around Wind Chimes as if they were drunk.

Many people shot her from outside the area with hidden weapons and arrows, but the projectiles either lost their target when the sound waves caught them in the air or were crushed in flight.

If it were not because Silver Mask Duke was no longer able to watch it and had Wind Chimes end the farce, the hundreds of people might have continued to fight against her while having no idea what was going on.

Murder with the sound produced from six fingers!

The hundreds of visible sound waves formed in the shape of arrows instantly killed almost every single person in the area, and the land was covered in corpses.

Even though Wind Chimes had used up all her qi for the killing move, Silver Mask Duke was by her side, and the people who were fortunate enough to survive screamed and fled like terrified souls. They no longer appeared near Taichi Sword Sect.

"How slow. It's becoming harder and harder to level up. When can I reach Life and Death Realm? This damn system… It actually placed a limit on me and said that I must fight monsters who are above my level to absorb EXP! It's horrible!"

Wind Chimes walked around Taichi Sword Sect just like in the past, but she did not discover any bad people, then she looked for a place to settle down, drew her longsword, and grumbled.

"That's what it should do."

Silver Wolf was practicing Red Flame Palm nearby. When he heard her words, he thought, 'Fortunately the system placed some limits on this person with crazy Comprehension, or else, if she had already reached Life and Death Realm, no one beneath Moksha Realm could stand up to her.'

Even Happy and Silver Wolf himself would have a hard time moving in the area of effect of the successor of Six-fingered Demonic Zither.
