Chapter 897 - Aid in Fighting

“Hall Master Dream, you seem to have run into trouble.”

It was clear that Do Jin still did not have his fill of fighting. There was slight derision in his tone when he spoke, but no matter what, this was Class One Hall’s territory. If the master of the territory was in trouble, it would not be appropriate for the two guests to continue fighting.

Hanago followed behind Do Jin, and his expression was slightly unpleasant.

“What is it, Do Jin? Are you thinking about acting the hero and volunteering to fight? Even though the Chinese always had this spirit in them since a long time ago, don’t forget that there is only one person in the Chinese server who can cause Hall Master Dream to be in such distress.”

Hanago looked like a resentful woman who had her heart filled with an endless sea of grudges, but had nowhere to vent it. His expression was incredibly dark, and his tone was strange. It was a stark difference from his level-headed demeanor when he first entered the martial arts hall.

“Hmph, so what? I was just thinking about looking for him and fighting against him. I want to see whether the strongest player in the Chinese server is truly as the world sings about him. As for you, are you really intending to act like a coward over there?”

Do Jin’s current actions caused others to be rendered speechless as well.

When the duo were on the dueling stage, their personalities were completely different from how they usually acted.

On the surface, Do Jin was incredibly arrogant, and he was like a youngster who will fly off into rage at the slightest provocation, but when he fought, the inborn instincts and his composure will be in full display.

During the battle just now, Do Jin used his Bright Sword Technique to tell everyone that the people who perfected this martial art will be much more calculative than any other person. In the beginning, he used his scheme to lure Hanago into attacking, but when his scheme did not work, he immediately began to set up traps step by step to force Hanago into using his other ultimate skill—Bright Heavenly Shadow.

In fact, even at the end, he did not use his full skill, he was just waiting to fend against Hanago’s lightning strike.

This caused Hanago to never be able to have the confidence of defeating Do Jin with one strike. He just kept dodging and was constantly in a defensive state where he was hit.

Even though the victor was not decided in this fight, Do Jin managed to appear incredibly imposing, and he managed to show just how powerful he was. As for Hanago, he suffered a great blow from the fight.

But even though Hanago ended with a heart full of resentment, his composed temperament on the battlefield, which made him seem as if there was nothing which can affect him, was also different from everyone else’s, and it was still something that was worthy of amazement.

Hanago snorted derisively. “Hmph! Happy is my goal for my trip to the Chinese plains. Even if you said nothing, I will sooner or later seek him out to fight him.”

“Are you talking about attacking him when there is no one around you?”

“Since you want to embarrass yourself so much, I’ll be glad to watch it!” Hanago’s expression was cold as he turned to Dream Clouds. “If you know where Happy is, would you mind telling us?”

Just a moment ago, Dream Clouds had still had a storm raging in her heart, but when she heard the duo’s argument, she was immediately beside herself with joy. “I am truly grateful for your chivalrous act of extending help to me. This matter happened out of the blue, and Mu Clan abruptly mobilized their forces to attack a number of our branches, but we haven’t discovered where Happy is just yet. We will need some time to find him.”

Do Jin did not give Hanago any chance to regret his decision. He quickly answered, “I have plenty of time. After all, I haven’t been able to find him over the past few days I was in the Chinese plains. Today, I will meet with the strongest player in the Chinese server with you! I believe that you will not think about retreating at that time, will you, Brother Hanago?”

“…Hmph.”

When she saw that the duo had decided to stay, Dream Clouds was delighted.

“My friends, please wait in the hall for a moment. I will log off and make a call.”

“Hmm?”

When Do Jin and Hanago turned around in surprise, they saw that Dream Clouds had already vanished from the spot.

“A phone call?”

The duo put on contemplative expressions.

*****

Hundreds of Class One Hall elites were dressed in full armor in Aru City. They gathered at the branch with their weapons drawn and ready for war while they watched their brothers and sisters walk in through the entrance with sickly pale faces. Rage burned in their eyes.

“What’s going on?!”

At that moment, someone ran out of the hall of the branch.

“Branch master!”

“Branch master, you’re finally here! Those bastards from Mu Clan are almost at our doorstep!” The people on the empty ground outside the hall started shouting.

The person who came over was indeed Class One Hall’s branch master for Aru City. He was a core member for the organization, and he had logged off briefly to rest just now. When he received a call, he immediately logged in without another one, and his breathing was still uneven.

“Shut up!

“You! Tell me! What’s going on outside?!”

He strode down the stairs and pointed at a person to speak.

That person was rather sharp. “Our brothers and sisters training on the training grounds outside the city have all been attacked, and they just returned after being revived. The two resource spots outside the city have also been attacked. We don’t know how many people died just yet, but I estimate that there are a few hundred who did.”

The branch master was stunned speechless. When he heard that number, his face instantly turned red with rage.

“How many people did Mu Clan send?”

When he logged off, he had clearly heard the spies on the plains telling him that everything was normal and that the four sects had mobilized one hundred thousand cavaliers in preparation to attack the Mongolian camp.

If they wanted to kill hundreds of people within a short amount of time, they will need quite a lot of people.

“I don’t know, but I heard from the brothers and sisters who died that there were only around ten people who went to the resource spots. Our hall members outside the city were rather scattered, but they say that they saw more than two hundred people who showed up.”

When he heard that the number was not actually high, the branch master immediately calmed down and became at ease. “What’s the headquarters’ reply to the situation.”

“They told us to wait for you to log in and investigate the number of people Mu Clan sent, as well as their goal. I heard that the Town of Kui, Kuo Ma City, and Barbican are also attacked. The hall master told you to make a decision after you logged in.”

“Got it.” The branch master felt confident in handling the situation now. After a moment of thought, he gave his order. “They might be causing a diversion.

“You, mobilize around ten of our members and guard the four city gates.

“Vice Branch Master Huang, lead one hundred members to investigate the situation at the ore mines.

“Others, come with me to search for those Mu Clan bastards.

“Those who are injured, stay here.”

“We’re having everyone leave? Branch master, isn’t it too risky to do that?”

“Since the Town of Kui is already attacked, there is no mistaking this. Mu Clan has decided to work with the four sects to cause such a huge ruckus on the plains with such a great fanfare, they’ve definitely decided to sacrifice their minor interests to safeguard their major interests. They must have decided to give up on the Emperor’s Announcement event beforehand and break out of our encirclement from the north. They attacked us to hold back the people in Aru City and confuse us. Kuo Ma City and Barbican are decoys, that’s why…”

The branch master then shouted confidently, “They definitely won’t have a lot of people stationed outside Aru City! Damn it, they’ve persecuted us so viciously twenty days ago that we’ve been completely humiliated!

“Brothers and sisters, this time, we’ll pay them back twice what they did to us! Let’s go! We’ll go outside the city and search for those bastards!”

His logical analysis immediately incited the group of Class One Hall members, who had been low on morale just a moment ago.

The group was excited and worked up.

Hundreds of people rushed out of the branch in a mighty stream.

But they did not know that this scene was seen by a group of people who had already snuck into a restaurant.

There were more than twenty people over there, and Chivalry Sect’s Lin Xiao was their leader.

He lifted his wine cup in silence while he watched the people from Class One Hall move through the streets grandly. Then, they put on strange smiles.

“Haha! Vice Sect Master Lin, you really have great foresight! They’re all gone now, and there’s only an empty shell of a branch left, along with some injured members.”

“Those bastards think we’re only here to bother them? They’ll definitely not be able to expect that we’re breaking out of the place and also harassing them. We’re not letting their branch go.”

“Alright, get ready. Once Little North and his group engage with that group of people, we’ll immediately attack!” Lin Xiao sat in the best room of the restaurant with a level-headed mind. His wide shoulders and heroic back exuded a rarely felt but faint killing intent.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time!
