684 Next Step

The fight was indeed worth it!

Once it was over, everyone in the world learned about Happy's true strength, and the question that had been lingering in their hearts was finally answered.

He was the strongest in the world, and he was also the first to enter Moksha Realm!

He even had Heaven Crystal.

The information about Happy came forth like a tidal wave, and it was absorbed by countless martial artists. It shocked them time and again.

There was no longer anyone who doubted Happy's strength, and there was no one who doubted Mu Clan's ability to remain as the strongest in the game for a long period of time.

If there showed up anyone who wanted to fight against Mu Clan, that person or sect would not come from China.

Before Happy entered Moksha Realm, only One Emperor was able to control him slightly, but once he entered Moksha Realm, he was just too far ahead. One Emperor, who was second on Dragon Rank, only had 530 qi points, so he still had quite the distance left before he reached 640 qi points.

During this time, there was no one who could be Happy's opponent.

Mu Clan's strength and Happy's invincibility caused many sects to suddenly become worried.

There seemed to be a tradition in the Chinese world of martial artists: once the strongest martial artist and the strongest sect were found out, calls for the unification of China would ring out, and it had happened time and again in the country's long history.

It was really ridiculous and ludicrous now that they thought about it.

But Mu Clan's strength had increased the worry of quite a number of sects.

After all, there was a high possibility that Happy would decide to expand his clan.

The celebration in Baokang County Town happened mainly because everyone wanted to protect their benefits and precarious statuses. The entire town was filled with red lamps, and feasts were held in a few restaurants, which allowed Mu Clan to gain a profit of more than twenty billion taels worth of silver.

There was no way anyone would not be tempted by such an impressive profit.

Phoenix Dances calmed down after a brief shock of hearing it and guided the conversation back to what she previously mentioned: the unification of the Chinese server.

She redirected her gaze back to Happy's face.

"Previously, our development was held back by our unstable foundation. At the time, we couldn't go through major setbacks without the risk of losing everything. But now, each branch has gathered together incredibly powerful combat forces. If they were gathered together, they'd be very terrifying! I think… that we should attack Class One Hall now."

Silence fell among the group.

When Happy heard Phoenix Dances' suggestion, he frowned slightly.

But most of the people in the apartment became very stern.

They were all part of the higher management from the former Beautiful Robes Faction. Its destruction was a scar in their hearts that would never heal. The time had come to take revenge, and Happy could understand everyone's desire for it, but he did not think that Phoenix Dances would mention it right now, when Xu Yao would hear it.

The only person who showed a surprised face in the apartment was her.

Once she regained her composure, she was still surprised and bewildered, and she carefully checked Happy's reaction.

"You should know that after this duel, the entire world of martial arts is keeping an eye on Mu Clan because they want to know whether we will expand our clan. If we attack now, we will not be expanding our clan, but will be making enemies out of everyone. Phoenix Dances, looks like you still need to stay for a while longer in West Region."

Happy's words surprised everyone, but they also found them lological.

But he had scolded Phoenix Dances coldly in front of many people without regard for her dignity. Even Phoenix Dances had not expected this, and she was stunned.

Happy ignored her. He just looked at the people in the apartment. "I can understand your feelings for Beautiful Robes Faction and your desire for revenge, but you should understand that if we make a wrong move, it'll be difficult for us to turn back. I don't want any of you to mention this again within half a year."

When Phoenix Dances was about to say something, Happy looked at her with a gaze that allowed no argument. "This is my decision, do you understand?"

Phoenix Dances said nothing. She stared at Happy with a slightly dazed expression. She suddenly felt that the distance between them had become very great. Her heart clenched in pain, and she subconsciously nodded.

When the others saw this, they found themselves unable to bear the sight, but Happy soon spoke up.

"Good. After this fight, I have a few plans to further develop Mu Clan."

Silence fell among them.

Happy made another decision!

The people in the apartment did not say a word and just paid attention.

Every single one of Happy's decisions seemed to be able to make Mu Clan grow stronger swiftly, and their attention on the matter of Phoenix Dances being wronged was somewhat diverted.

"The first is about Sky Demon Secret Cave. From today onwards, we will officially lock it down and list it as one of Mu Clan's training spots. No one from other sects is allowed to get inside!"

The group was stunned silent, but their eyes sparkled with a brilliant light.

Even though Sky Demon Branch had been set up for some time, they had never declared publicly that they would lock down Sky Demon Secret Cave and monopolize it. But if they announced it now, while they might cause quite a number of people to feel displeased, the effect would not be as great as before.

Most sects were currently concerned about whether Happy would intrude upon their benefits, and they were all acting like ostriches. Their wariness toward the resources outside, especially toward resources that were not theirs, was not very strong.

The timing for Mu Clan to take control of Sky Demon Secret Cave was perfect, and it was most likely to go without a hitch.

Even though they could not be certain of what would happen in the future, no problems should occur within a short period of time. The resources in Sky Demon Secret Cave were incredibly important to building up the strength of Mu Clan.

Even Phoenix Dances, who felt that she had been wronged (though the feeling was very weak), had to admit that Happy's entrypoint was much more level-headed and wise compared to her suggestion, which had been made out of personal loyalty.

"My second suggestion is to increase the passion of Mu Clan members for training."

"Hmm?"

Happy said a piece of shocking information. "We will take out ten billion taels of silver from Mu Clan's storage to set up a reward system. The first five hundred members who enter Moksha Realm will be able to get twenty million taels of silver, and the first ten would get an additional reward of a set of fourth-echelon grade one masterpieces."

"Wow."

Everyone in the room sucked in a sharp breath when they heard the rewards he had chosen. Even they were tempted by them.

Who would not be when offered a set of fourth-echelon equipment and twenty million taels of silver?

"What if the elites from other sects join us when they hear this news?"

"That's right. What if we run into those who chose to go after they receive the rewards? What should we do then?"

Happy smiled confidently. "We'll still reward them. Wasn't there someone in the past who valued the highly talented people and did everything he could to bring them to his side? If we can attract powerful players to join us with this reward, we'd be earned big even if just one of them comes. We can afford to lose a bit of money. Besides, as long as they join, I refuse to believe that they will still want to leave."

"But what's the reason you're doing this? Are you really just intending to have everyone train harder?" Bai Lang asked.

"Of course not." Happy shook his head and sighed. "I just hope that we will not lose ourselves just because the sects in the game idolize us. You have to remember that we're still not the strongest in the world.

"There will be an increasing number of allied organizations like Wind and Rain Alliance popping up. If we don't speed up our development but stop to admire our own successes, very soon, we'll be treated as stepping stones for others.

"At that time, not only I, but all of us here will lose all that we have now."

Happy sounded so earnest that even the people who felt that Phoenix Dances had been wronged instantly understood what he was trying to convey.

Happy and Phoenix Dances stood at different heights, and their visions were very different.
