Chapter 1091: Revenge Fund

While Happy caused Western Region to descend into chaos and the Class One Hall members over there to be in a state of great alarm, certain dangers appeared in the world three years later.

On the fifth day Evil Emperor died and Class One Hall’s affiliated forces in the north all shrank into their holes. They did not dare to readily come out and die when they faced Happy and One Emperor’s intimidating strength.

But the situation in the south did not progress as smoothly, even though Phantasmal Shadow had already gained quite a large territory in the south and managed to regain her footing.

Because Wild Wolves had begun to slowly reveal her strength!

The foreign elites who came from Goryeo, Fuso, Thailand, Vietnam, and Persia had all descended in the southern region, and they worked together with the affiliated forces from Class One Hall to launch powerful offenses against multiple cities. These cities were all places where Phantasmal Shadow had just secured.

There were also top-class elites from the Chinese server who attacked, but there were few. Most of them were from Wild Wolves or foreign top-class elites who were already under Wild Wolves’ control. There were more than three hundred of them.

As Class One Hall and Wild Wolves showed their strength when they worked together, Wind Assault Tower instantly descended into an incredibly difficult situation.

In just one day, they lost three branches back to back, and more than ten branches at the borders were in a perilous situation. The remaining branches were also exposed to danger.

“Damn it!”

“Why are there so many great players around?! Where did they come from?!”

“A few groups went out to train this morning, and in less than two hours, they were killed. No matter where they go, they will find wandering foreign elites, and now, all of our members are extremely nervous, and they do not dare get out of the city…”

“Don’t even say it. We’re in an even worse situation. Our occupation players at the resource points were all killed, and even if we wanted to be like Lovely Land and give out our resource points to other sects, those sects did not dare take up our offer.”

“Sigh…”

“This won’t do!”

“Tower master, this can’t continue. We won’t last for much longer before we’re reduced to our original state. Why don’t we send a messenger pigeon to One Emperor and ask him to come to the south to help us? With him as our garrison, at least the people from Class One Hall and those Wild Wolves won’t dare to act so fearlessly, or we can just ask for help from Lovely Land. I heard that they already have more than four hundred thousand members!”

The suggestions from the group of elders caused Phantasmal Shadow to scowl, and she was already incredibly flustered by the troublesome matters at hand. “What sort of terrible suggestions are you giving me, exactly?!”

She stopped talking for a moment before Phantasmal Shadow’s tone changed, and she rebuked them firmly. “Can’t Wind Assault Tower survive in the Chinese server without One Emperor and Happy?!

“Besides, if Happy’s Lovely Land isn’t holding back most of the people from Class One Hall in the north for us, do you think that we would have such a comfortable environment to fight? Bring One Emperor over? At that time, we might be safe, but Lovely Land might not be able to last until Evil Emperor leaves prison.”

When she said this, Phantasmal Shadow snorted loudly.

Even though Lovely Land was getting bigger, its reputation in World of Martial Arts was also getting higher, and its charisma also grew greater, Phantasmal Shadow knew that these people who gathered together temporarily were just a bunch of people who were not united and were rather impartial about the situation. If it were not for Happy and One Emperor serving as their garrisons and if it were not for the fact that the two Beijing sects served as the foundation for Lovely Land, it was impossible for them to gain their current achievements.

Right now, to Phantasmal Shadow, Lovely Land was a barrier that stopped a certain tiger from the north advancing south.

She can ask neither One Emperor nor Happy to move south.

Once Lovely Land collapsed, Wind Assault Tower would soon descend into an even more dangerous and terrible situation.

Right now, they could at least keep dozens of branches, and they were also quickly planning and building their branches in the wild. Of course, they were incredibly tense when they planned and built those branches in the wild, because in the future, they would be using these branches which were easy to defend but difficult to attack to make Wind Assault Tower last longer in the Chinese server.

“Tower master, the north has sent news.”

At that moment, Wu Kuo walked hastily into the hall. He quickly attracted Phantasmal Shadow and the group of elders’ attention.

Phantasmal Shadow scowled. “Did Class One Hall do something?”

Right now, she was currently the most worried about Lovely Land facing a problem while they were trying to intimidate Class One Hall in the north.

“No. With Happy, One Emperor, and hundreds of thousands of people around, Class One Hall and those affiliated sects still do not dare to come out of their stinking holes.”

When they heard Wu Kuo’s word, the group sighed in relief.

“What’s going on? Why are you in such a hurry?” But Phantasmal Shadow did not dare to relax so readily and release the anxiety in her heart.

“It’s good news!”

Wu Kuo arrived in front of Phantasmal Shadow, and a hint of a smile appeared on her face.

“Tower master, you should know that Lovely Land is just a temporary sect, and no one knows how long it can exist.”

“Yeah…” Phantasmal Shadow nodded.

This was something that not only she knew, but many of the people who were familiar with the situation knew that the disaster in the Chinese server was not over just yet. Before Wild Wolves and Evil Emperor left the Chinese server, the Chinese server might be controlled by Class One Hall’s iron fist again at any moment!

Dream Clouds will definitely want to exterminate Lovely Land first, because it was a sect that Happy had temporarily set up to fight against Class One Hall and Wild Wolves.

“Lovely Land might be a temporary sect, since he has controlled all the resource points in a circular area of dozens of miles around Beijing, its strength is also very strong. Besides, Happy is the only one who is in control of Lovely Land’s finances. I heard that he got himself a very impressive wealth because of the resource points around him. Dream Clouds has even placed an emphasis on this and asked someone to announce the total amount of wealth Happy has gained online. The initial estimation is that Happy has obtained more than fifty billion taels of silver from the sects.”

“Fifty billion…”

Quite a number of people in the area quirked their eyebrows, a clear sign that they were shocked.

“That’s right, fifty billion!” Wu Kuo nodded in confirmation. “Since they knew that Lovely Land is fighting against Class One Hall and Wild Wolves, the sects around Beijing were very generous. Most of them gave half a month’s worth of protection fees in one go.”

“It’s a large sum indeed.”

The people in the room registered what Wu Kuo said, and someone even spoke up in worry, “If Happy controls that money alone and doesn’t use it in the right areas, he might not be able to help Lovely Land and turn it into Lovely Land’s foundation, but will end up making it into the reason why Lovely Land collapses…”

“That’s right.”

“Should we remind Happy?” An elder suggested.

Phantasmal Shadow shook her head. “No… Happy’s status is different now. No matter what, he’s the sect master for Lovely Master. We don’t have any right to interfere with his freedom to use his money. We don’t share a superior and subordinate relationship, and you must understand this clearly. If we say one wrong word, it’ll be very easy for him to misunderstand that Wind Assault Tower is trying to teach him how to do things.”

The group said nothing, but they instantly became even more worried.

“But we can’t just watch Dream Clouds destroy Lovely Land like this, right? This is clearly Dream Clouds’ plan to drive a wedge between them!”

At this moment, Wu Kuo looked at the elders before he stared at Phantasmal Shadow. “You’re overthinking things. In truth, I wanted to say that Happy has just asked Ji Feng to announce the sect system for Lovely Land. I think that we can refer to it.”

“Sect system?”

The group was stunned by Wu Kuo’s shocking words.

“Evil Emperor will soon be released from the prison in the Ministry of Punishment, and Happy knows this. Why would he dare to set up a sect system right now? Doesn’t he know what will happen?”

Wind Assault Tower had a lot of experience in this regard.

They knew very clearly that a sect with a few branches must use a system to maintain fairness between the branches, and it was also crucial for a large sect to have a system to maintain regular operations.

The sect storage and contributions were things that could not go missing.

But the branches were in a constant state of danger right now, and it was clear that it was not suitable for them to set up a detailed system to maintain operations in the sect.

Could it be that Happy was forced to come up to a system to dissolve the danger brought by Dream Clouds’ plan to drive a wedge between them.

Even though he managed to handle the problem in time, it would be even easier for Dream Clouds to exploit a flaw in the system because of this.

The group of elders descended in a noisy discussion in the hall once more.

Buuuuuzzzzzzzzz…

The hall was now like a market.

Wu Kuo could not watch it anymore, and he raised his hand. “Stop guessing… The sect system Happy set up is different from ours. Instead of saying that it’s a sect system, it would be better to say that it’s a revenge fund!”

“Huh?”

But the group stopped talking and looked at him through the corners of his eyes.

This was the third time Phantasmal Shadow and her group were stunned.

“Can’t you say everything in one go?” Phantasmal Shadow stared at Wu Kuo in an unimpressed manner, showing just how speechless she was because of him. His expression became awkward, and he finally revealed all of the information he gained just now.

The content was few, because the system was easy.

The group soon understood what the system Wu Kuo mentioned was.

He was right, it was a revenge fund.

Happy announced that from this day on, Lovely Land would set up a system for the members to draw from the fund. The withdrawal limit for the fund is fifty billion taels of silver, which is the current money Happy had!

If the members of Lovely Land killed a Class One Hall member, Blood Alliance member, Assassin Hall member, a member from the twelve Beijing sects, or a Wild Wolf who was above Moksha Realm, named that person, retained a battle replay of themselves killing that person, and uploaded it to the designated website, they could have the right to gain a certain amount of money from the fund.

A Moksha Realm member from a normal enemy sect would only provide one effective kill feat once a month.

If a person managed to get two effective kill feats, they could withdraw at least two hundred thousand taels of silver from the fund.

If they killed an Inaction Realm elite, they could get one hundred thousand taels of silver. If they killed a person who was a branch master or elder, they could get one million taels of silver.

If they killed a top-class elite, they could get two million taels of silver for each kill, and they could get as many effective kill feats from these people within a month, though the kill would only be considered effective after the top-class elite recovered his or her strength.

Also, the players who were not from Lovely Land could also withdraw from the revenge fund if they uploaded their battle replays to the website. However, they must provide at least five effective kills before they could gain the right to withdraw from the fund. Of course, they will also be provided with the right to join Lovely Land.

Happy had even stated that since the total number of members from Class One Hall and all its affiliated forces were more than two million, if the people managed to kill all of them within a month, Lovely Land’s finances would enter the red zone, but if the Chinese heroes could truly do this, he would be willing to use his profit from the pay-to-view battle replay system and give the players real cash!

Once this news came out, the north instantly descended into a ruckus.

Not only did Dream Clouds’ plan to drive a wedge between Lovely Land’s members completely fail online and in the game, it had even launched a vigorous operation of people killing the members from Class One Hall and all their affiliated sects.

All the people from Class One Hall and their affiliated sects looked as if they had turned into moving ATM machines at that point.
