727 Mu Clan Branch

Originally, the Music sisters were very delighted over the arrival of Dragon Sect's elites, but as an elder who was in charge of peripheral defenses said a few words hastily, their expressions changed drastically, and Clear Music asked with a somber tone, "Are you sure?"

"They have already set up their branch." The young elder also had an incredibly somber expression, and he nodded without hesitation. "The person who led the team is Silver Wolf, but I couldn't tell just how many people there were. Since this is a very important matter, I didn't dare interfere with it readily and came back in a hurry to report it."

Bang!

The tea table shattered, and Clear Music stood up resolutely. "That guy… I don't care that he refused to show any respect to Samsung Group's Miss Son, but he actually dared to come and oppress us so publicly?! He's going overboard!"

"Big sister, don't be in such a hurry to come to a conclusion. I think that it's because Happy is frustrated by lack of action even though we made our decision." Musical Note looked at her older sister with a worried expression. "Things have not reached the point where it's too late for us to turn the tables. Let's go and talk to Happy so that we can figure out their intentions—"

"What else is there to see?! He's already at our doorstep!" Clear Music's expression was full of anger, and her face was livid with rage. 

"Palace Master Music, what happened?" Han Lin, the person in charge of Dragon Sect, turned around and cast a glance at the group behind him. "Dragon Sect can be considered to be allies with Towering Palace, so your troubles are ours too. If you have some place where you require our assistance, please do not hesitate to ask."

Dragon Sect had been troubled by the fact that they had not been able to find a chance to enter the Chinese server and gain a thorough understanding of its player sects, so once they got it, they were not going to let go of it easily. 

"We still haven't gotten the full picture yet, so we won't trouble you. Once we truly need you, we will not hesitate to ask for help. At that time, we do hope that you will not refuse to offer a helping hand." 

When Musical Note saw Clear Music's expression, she knew that the situation was bad, so she quickly took over the conversation to refuse Han Lin's request for interference. 

"We still have matters to attend to today. Please walk about Yangzhou as you please and admire the scenery. Once we return, we can talk about the details of the union."

Musical Note dragged her older sister and a group of higher ups out of the training hall. They only left a few people to accompany Dragon Sect. 

The elites from Dragon Sect stayed where they were in silence. 

"This must be related to Mu Clan for Towering Palace to be so troubled…"

The middle-aged man was stunned. "Could it be?"

"Before I came to the Chinese server, I contacted a few friends over here. They're currently in Yangzhou, and they told me something through the messenger pigeon. It should be the reason why Towering Palace is so mad right now."

"Oh." The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. 

The thirty or so elites from Dragon Sect walked out of the training hall one after another and left the headquarters. They moved through the streets and arrived at a branch that was bustling with activity. 

CRACKLE!

The sound of firecrackers rang in their ears, and a celebratory plate could be seen hanging over the door of a brand new mansion. 

Clearly, a new branch had joined Yangzhou City. 

Based on how the players nearby surged over, it had to have a great background. All of the large and small sects in Yangzhou came over to congratulate them. 

"Hey, they sure are parading their wealth." 

The group had already changed their attire, making them look like Chinese wanderers. Since they also had pure oriental looks, they did not attract anyone's attention. 

There were two rounds of more than one hundred martial artists standing in front of the mansion. They stood in the form of an upside down V in a mighty manner to receive the congratulations from different sects and players from Yangzhou who came up to them nonstop. The person in charge of the event had not personally come outside the mansion, but even so, many people were stunned by the grand lineup. 

"There sure are a lot of people here. Did all the leaders of the sects in Yangzhou come here?"

"Of course. The branch they set up here has incredible meaning." Someone next to Dragon Sect heard their discussion, and he could not help but butt in. 

The middle-aged man who had a gentle look on his face shook his head slightly before he took the initiative to speak, "Oh? Why did you say that? Please tell me."

The speaker did not pay attention to stuff. He just went along with the conversation and said, "Towering Palace occupies the cities and resources in the coastal area, and there's an unspoken rule among the four top-class sects that they will not enter each other's territory. No one has ever broken this iron rule, but now, Mu Clan has publicly set up a branch in the coastal area. 

"But that's not all, they set up their branch in Yangzhou, the center of Towering Palace's territory, where their headquarters are. I don't reckon that this is a simple matter. By the looks of it, Towering Palace might have offended Mu Clan again. If not, Mu Clan is thinking about attacking Towering Palace first."

Silence fell among the Dragon Sect group. They sucked in sharp breaths, and their expressions turned grave. 

But once the speaker started talking, he found it hard to stop. He cast a glance around him before he whispered, "I heard that Mu Clan sent Silver Wolf to personally lead this branch, and he's the strongest after Happy. He also brought quite a lot of powerhouses. There's no need for me to even mention the meaning behind such actions."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't know?"

The middle-aged man said nothing. 

"Ahem. I should have known at first glance that you're either new or came from other countries. Let me phrase it this way. If Mu Clan really fights against Towering Palace, Towering Palace will definitely lose. There's no doubt about it. 

"Once that happens, Mu Clan will be the one to call the shots in the coastal area. The local sects are either worried that they will be dragged into the mess or about their own resources."

"They're all top-class sects, and Mu Clan is so domineering? What is Towering Palace made of? Paper?" 

The people from Dragon Sect could not quite believe what they were hearing. 

Even though they did not regard Towering Palace's strength highly, it was still a sect with hundreds of thousands of people in Life and Death Realm. It also had quite a lot of people on Dragon and Phoenix Ranks, so it should not be so weak as to be unable to fight back, right?

"They're not at the same level at all." The speaker laughed coldly. "The sisters from Towering Palace might have some good strategies and have gathered quite a number of good players to their side, but Happy already gave them a warning more than one month ago. At that time, he came alone to their headquarters and left with his body intact.

"Then, Towering Palace lost quite a number of cities in the southern part of the coastal area. Right now, if Mu Clan attacks at full strength, it'll be the same as them saying that they'll rid of them as quickly as possible."

The people from Dragon Sect were silent. All of them furrowed their eyebrows, and thoughts raced in their heads. 

If it was just something said by some random player, they would definitely not believe it!

But when they saw the lineup and how the sects from Yangzhou were not the only ones who came to congratulate Mu Clan, because some of the sects from nearby cities had come over to send their gifts as well,, they realized that if the two sects really fought, Towering Palace would have a hard time dealing with Mu Clan. 

If Dragon Sect formed an alliance with Towering Palace at this moment…

The gentle-looking middle-aged man in the crowd and the young man exchanged a stern expression.

'This Happy seems like someone powerful.'

If Towering Palace ran into an accident, their reputation would plummet, and it would be difficult for Dragon Sect to work together with them. 

While they thought about what should be their next move, a small uproar suddenly broke out among the people on the streets. 

"Look, the people from Towering Palace are here!"

"Someone has decided to stick a thorn right in their flesh, so of course they can't be happy. We'll have something fun to watch!"

"Let's see how Towering Palace handles this."
