Chapter 235: Appearance of a Woman, and Heart of a Man

According to All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s information, due to the setback Fallen Feathers Sect suffered last time and the battle replay Chivalry Sect uploaded online about them running into Yao Hua once they entered the third level of Fox Cave, Class One Hall became even firmer in their plans to attack Fox Cave. When the time came, not only would Dream Clouds, whose abilities had increased by leaps and bounds, personally lead the attack, her two vice hall masters, who were powerhouses and had climbed up the top of the Dragon Rank, would also join her in the attack!

Of course, with Chivalry Sect’s abilities, they could go up against those three monsters.

After all, Chivalry Sect’s sect master was Wind Void, a heroine among women. She had been switching with Dream Clouds on Phoenix Rank in the first place. Right then, even though Dream Clouds was ahead of her, her abilities were still outstanding, and she would have no problem holding Dream Clouds back.

Red Dust had also become the successor of Shaolin Temple’s Sweeper Monk, and they had Chivalry Duke Lin Xiao as well. They were more than enough to take care of Class One Hall’s high-ranking members.

The only dangerous thing was that the teamwork between the elites of Class One Hall was definitely not something Chivalry Sect could compare to, since they were a non-professional player sect that had been built recently.

It would be very difficult for Chivalry Sect to fight against Class One Hall head on.

Happy had thought that since they had heavily damaged Fallen Feathers Sect last time, they would not be able to oppress Chivalry Sect again. Once Chivalry Sect obtained room for development, the event of Chivalry Union dissolving in the future would not happen or at least be delayed. However, someone in the dark seemed to have pushed everything back to the original tracks.

That was not all, though. When the battle between Chivalry Sect and Class One Hall erupted, Chivalry Sect would not be able to win if Empress Clouds used the methods she had at her disposal in Happy’s previous life. They would make quick work of Chivalry Sect, and Chivalry Union would not be seen ever again.

When Happy thought of it, his heart was instantly in a conflict.

In the eyes of the other people, it was Class One Hall declaring war over the divine weapons of Yao Hua and his wife, but he knew that even if Class One Hall used up all their manpower, they would still not be able to win against the two NPCs. They were just searching for an excuse to fight against Chivalry Sect.

Class One Hall had already developed around ten sects, and among them were Fallen Feathers Sect and Five Venoms. They had quite a great influence, and if all those sects joined in, Chivalry Sect would definitely be damaged greatly. They would then drop out of the ranks of the three great sects. Class One Hall had to have certainty that Chivalry Sect would not easily give up on Yao Hua and his wife, then seize that weakness and deal them a fatal blow!

If Chivalry Sect received such an attack, they would definitely lose.

But if they ran, their reputation would be destroyed. If the gamers saw that Chivalry Sect immediately retreated when Class One Hall arrived at Fox Cave, they would be able to tell what happened with just one glance.

That was why the fight between Chivalry Sect and Class One Hall could not be avoided!

Happy thought about how he could not change the situation with just a few people when they had to go up against Class One Hall, which was stronger than any other sect. With the slightest mistake, even he might die.

He had been successful against Class One Hall when he was on Punishment Mount and in Fox Cave, but he had only faced Class One Hall’s secondary powers who belonged to the sects that were subordinate to them. Most of their real elites were gathered in Class One Hall’s headquarters. After the latest period of development, Happy he would not be surprised if a group of Mystical Realm players showed up there.

If they really went up against each other, even Happy would not have an easy time. There was even a possibility that he would die!

[So, what’s your plan?]

All-powerful Medicinal Stone only had some information and did not know the real situation in Class One Hall. However, when he saw that Class One Hall was prepared to fight against Chivalry Sect, he could not suppress his urge to fight against them again!

Happy stared at the letter in his hand, then sucked in a deep breath and wrote, [Let me think.]

White Tiger Forest was not far away from Wuhu and very close to Immortal Fox Village. When a situation arose, he could quickly rush over. Because of that, he was not in a hurry to give an answer.

A few minutes later, the messenger pigeon returned with All-powerful Medicinal Stone’s reply.

[Alright, give me an answer latest by tomorrow! Right now, there are plenty of Fallen Feathers Sect and Five Venoms sect members gathered around Wuhu. Class One Hall might take action in the next few days!]

Happy crushed the letter in his hands, and his gaze instantly turned cold.

Class One Hall… He did not want to turn against this giant completely as of right then. Even though Beautiful Robes Faction was developing very quickly and beginning to take shape, they were just students. It was incredibly unwise for them to go up against a proper game guild. They did not have the resources to do it… so they could only get rid of the tumor like Five Venoms.

It was a coincidence that All-powerful Medicinal Stone had been ambushed by Five Venoms, and it had not been completely forgotten just yet. Happy could attack them using it as his reason and get rid of Five Venoms with an honorable face.

Even if he could not destroy them to their roots, he could make them lose the ability to participate in the battle and provide support to Class One Hall in their operation in Fox Cave!

*****

Chivalry Sect’s Vice Sect Master Lin Xiao, Vice Sect Master Red Dust, and a group of Chivalry Sect’s core members were all in Wuhu. They surrounded a beautiful woman who was wrapped up in a fiery red cloak while they rushed up the hall located on the first floor of Moon Pavilion.

Once they got there, they looked around, and saw an exquisite woman staring out the window at a lake.

She had a head accessory inlaid with gold in her hair and a silver veil covering her face. She had her hands placed above her knees, and her enchanting figure was casually leaning against her seat. She appeared relaxed and cozy where she sat.

However, there was a sword that let out a chilling and aggressive aura on the table, and it released an invisible presence that prevented most players from staring at her intently or getting close to her. Everyone stayed far away from her.

The people from Chivalry Sect drew near her table.

They looked at her for a long time, but Dream Clouds seemed to be completely enamored by the scene outside the window and did not notice that there was someone beside her even after a long time had passed. Then, when Red Dust could no longer bear the silence, he coughed loudly and snapped the absentminded beauty out of her daze.

“Hmm? Sister, you’re here? Come, sit.”

Dream Clouds might have not got up to welcome them, but the smile on her face let everyone feel as if they were regarded sincerely and with great importance. They could not get angry at her at all.

It was the same for the beautiful woman. She nodded and went closer to Dream Clouds. She unclasped her red cloak that looked like a ball of flames and revealed alluring curves that did not lose out to those of Dream Clouds.

She was Chivalry Sect’s sect master, Wind Void, the woman who was rumored by the players to be the only female player who could go toe-to-toe with Dream Clouds!

However, these two women gave off two completely different presences!

Dream Clouds was not just beautiful, but also very feminine and enigmatic, as if she was someone who had experienced many things and had many stories to tell. Her actions were charming, awe inspiring, and contained her unique charm.

Wind Void was unlike her.

She was born with good looks, but the heroic and bold feeling in her eyes was too strong. Her eyes were bright, and she gave off an aggressive feeling. Even Lin Xiao and Red Dust felt slightly oppressed when they were beside her. A manly woman was a phrase meant to describe girls like Wind Void.

“Hall Master Clouds, I wonder why you have asked to see us today.”

Wind Void’s tone was the typical one used by wandering martial artists. Anyone could tell at first glance that she was a very upright and straightforward woman.

Lin Xiao and Red Dust were both used to it. Many of their sect members in Chivalry Sect had said multiple times among themselves that while their sect master had a very feminine appearance, she was a person who had the heart of a man.
