She was not just livid.

When Dream Clouds saw blood gush out of Blood Robes’ forehead and fall to the ground like how leather would collapse in on itself when it was pierced by a sharp knife, she widened her eyes and stood silent for a few seconds in dumbfounded silence. She did not look away, and she clenched her fists so tightly that her hands turned bright red, and the color seemed to want to escape from her hands, looking like fire that shone in her hands.

Ten thousand points...

Blood Robes’ ten thousand points was reduced to zero so easily by just one arrow.

With his death, he verified this one sentence: Karma’s a bitch!

Right when they killed Wind Assault Tower’s Phantasmal Shadow and got rid of Phantasmal Shadow and Wind Assault Tower’s hard work over the day, she did not expect that such a brutal reciprocation would immediately slap them in their faces.

No wonder knew whose enraged shout was it who lit up the second battle, but nearly two thousand Class One Hall elites gnashed their teeth and charged to Mu Clan, Wind Assault Tower, as Wind and Rain Alliance’s members.

Thousands of people fought against each other again!

Half a minute passed. Dream Clouds sucked in a breath. Then, with a cold tone, she resolutely ordered the Class One Hall higher ups beside her resolutely, “Send word. Gather our men and lock down the Guanlin Temples near the cities in the area!”

Before her voice faded away, the second order swiftly left Dream Clouds’ lips. “Also, immediately notify the branches near Changjiang River Basin to prepare for war! They are to pay full attention to the movements of the people from Mu Clan, Wind Assault Tower, Wind and Rain Alliance, along with Chivalry Sect simultaneously. If they notice any signs of a large number of people being mobilized, they are to immediately notify me!”

“Understood!”

The Class One Hall elites around the area had their eyes light up.

From Dream Clouds’ words, they could hear a resolute killing intent and a determination that allowed no room for argument. Their hall master who killed without hesitation had returned!

When the order was passed down, Class One Hall’s morale was greatly boosted.

They were finally going to war!

Class One Hall was supposed to be the strongest sect in the north, but now, even organizations like Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance dared to provoke them head on. Anger had been boiling in them for a long time, and that anger had been pushed to boiling point when Blood Robes died.

Right now, when their hall master gave her orders, they immediately forgot about all future problems and immersed themselves in the slaughter!

Dream Clouds narrowed her eyes, and she stared at the Mu Clan members in the distance. The heat in her eyes gradually vanished.

She knew very well that they might end up walking down the road of no return with how things progressed later, but she also knew clearly at the same time that the people from Wind Assault Tower had taken the initiative to light up the flames of war, and if they did not fight in a straightforward manner, Class One Hall will end up in a very passive situation. Not only will their dignity be bruiser, their status in the north will also be severely provoked and trampled upon. They will be looked down by others.

The Emperor’s Announcement event will last for an entire month, anyway, and during that one month, Class One Hall had a huge advantage that others did not have: they had tens of thousands of people blocking Mu Clan and other forces of power far away from this area. Anyone who wanted to pass through will not be able to avoid going through Class One Hall’s territory, and Class One Hall can easily mobilize a large group of men to join the quests at the borders to interfere with the people who joined the Emperor’s Announcement event and even assassinate them.

“Hall master, since you decided to wage war, why don’t you bring all the people from the inner hall over here?” Someone beside Dream Clouds reminded her.

She shook her head.

“We don’t need the people from the inner hall appearing just yet... notify Tang Feng to have him have the people from Assassin Hall lock down on Phantasmal Shadow and the others’ location. We must absolutely make sure to block Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance outside the borders!”

The inner hall consisted of the most central members of Class One Hall, and they were under Dream Clouds’ direct leadership. They were Class One Hall’s secret weapon, and they were her strongest trump card aside from Barren Murderer. It was currently not convenient for her to reveal them.

“Understood.” Her subordinate left with her orders.

A cold look flashed on Dream Clouds’ face.

‘Hmph! Once we get rid of all the people from Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance, our enemies at the borders will just be Chivalry Sect and Mu Clan...’

On any other day, Dream Clouds’ will still be worried about the two top-class sects working together, but now, even if the people on the battlefield from the two top-class sects join together, they will not number more than ten thousand. Even if they really decided to cause trouble, Class One Hall will not face any danger within the month.

But she can control the lives of those near ten thousand elites from the two top-class sects!

*****

Trouble stirred on the plains!

*****

Aru City was the city that was the closest city to the borders, and at the Guanlin Temple nearby were a large group of Wind Assault Tower members along with Wind and Rain Alliance gathered together. Phantasmal Shadow as well as the two alliance masters of Wind and Rain Alliance gathered together to listen to the spies from Wind Assault Tower reporting back to them.

“Hall master, just as you expected, Class One Hall has indeed arranged a lot of people outside the city, and there are more than three thousand people over there. I’m guessing that those were sent to the local branches a long time ago, and they’re now gathered here. With the two thousand or so who died and came back, there are more than six thousand people of them, and we still haven’t counted in the people from the local branches.”

“That woman...” The two alliance masters from Wind and Rain Alliance sucked in sharp breaths and looked at each other at a loss. “There are more than six thousand people outside, and I heard that there are at least five thousand members from the local branches. Darn it... are they thinking about getting rid of the people from Wind Assault Tower and Wind and Rain Alliance?”

They originally thought that the people from Class One Hall will not be so crazy that they will fight against the giant that was Mu Clan as well as go up against two other sects that were not weak as well. After all, Wind and Rain Alliance sent more than twenty thousand people to the borders this time!

But judging by how resolute Class One Hall was this time in their operation, they immediately understood that the Class One Hall members who gathered here might have already been stationed here since a long time ago to handle the situation at hand. They might even be prepared to get rid of all the southern elites in one go.

“What should we do now?”

When the two alliance masters thought of Class One Hall’s absolute control in the north, they found themselves completely baffled and did not know what to do.

If they went out right now, they will surely die!

Were they to fight head on against Class One Hall?

Wind and Rain Alliance was not up to the level that they can fight against them just yet...

Forget about the fact that Wind and Rain Alliance could not even compare to Class One Hall in terms of numbers even when all the sects had their members gathered together, the people from the alliance were a group of misfits. They could not even guarantee just how strong they were, and to many of the large-sized sects, the people from Class One Hall were basically all elites. They were absolutely not at the same level as Class One Hall.

“There might not be many people from Wind Assault Tower, but when someone has decided to stomp on our heads, even if it means that we’ll be fighting with everything we have, we will fight to the end with Class One Hall” Phantasmal Shadow might appear to be weak, but she spoke firmly and resolutely, and her spirit affected the sounding Wind Assault Tower as well as Wind and Rain Alliance members.

She stopped talking for a while before she ordered resolutely before the people. “Immediately send a messenger pigeon to the headquarters and mobilize all our people from the branch. They are to move to Beijing!”

Right when she finished speaking, the two alliance masters groaned in their hearts. They were already regretting asking that question just now.

Phantasmal Shadow was basically asking them to fight a war they were not prepared for...

But since Wind Assault Tower’s master had already stated her stance, as the alliance masters, if they showed any sign of fear, not only will they give off a weak image, they will not be able to provide justice for their murdered members.

“That’s right!”

“Tower Master Shadow, your words have touched my heart. Even though we cannot compare to a top-class sect, but today, Class One Hall has indeed gone overboard with their tyranny

I’ll send a messenger pigeon to the allied sect masters and Alliance Master Night Rain Follows Wind. We’ll hold back Class One Hall together with you!”

Once she managed to get the two alliance masters to state their stance, Phantasmal Shadow reached her goal.

Since Class One Hall launched such a major operation, there was no way Mu Clan will sit by and do nothing. Chivalry Sect also bore a grudge against Class One Hall that will not end unless one of them died, so they will definitely respond to the call gladly!

All she needed to do now was to wait!

When Mu Clan did something about the situation, it will be time for Wind Assault Tower, Wind and Rain Alliance, and Chivalry Sect to send their forces north!
