Sword Among Us
chapter-441

When Wind Void recognized Zhou Yu, she scowled so much that her dashing eyebrows looked like an upside down mountain. Her face was cold, and she enunciated her words clearly. “Some people you are, Class One Hall, Dream Clouds. I’ve increased my knowledge about you today.”

The fight had basically ended at that moment.

The Chivalry Sect members were surrounded by enemies while suppressed by Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows. They could not break out of the encirclement, and they died one after another because they could not handle their enemies. Only Lin Xiao alone was enduring through the attacks from a group of Class One Hall disciples. When Wind Void saw that, she became panicked and anxious.

Blood Robes did not immediately kill her while standing in front of Towering Palace and the other martial artists. Right then, Wind Void and Lin Xiao were unable to escape even if they had wings. So, he said slowly, “Sect Master Void, your mistake lies for being too greedy and wanting too much.”

His attitude that made it seem as if the conclusion was already set made Wind Void grit her teeth so much that grinding sounds could be heard.

“Being too greedy and wanting too much?” Wind Void smiled coldly. “Chivalry Sect is only situated in Jiangnan, unlike you, Class One Hall who wants to be stationed in the entire game. Your members can be found everywhere from Beijing, Foshan, the coastal areas, and the desert.

“Yet now you’re saying that I’m too greedy and I want too much? Blood Robes, enough with the sugarcoating. When you talk too much, you just make yourself look like a hypocrite.”

Blood Robes was rendered speechless, and his expression changed.

“Sect Master Void, you’re wrong. Class One Hall’s branches have been suppressed by Chivalry Sect, and they’re basically decorations at this point. Sigh, if Chivalry Sect left some room for us, we wouldn’t have ended up like this today. Besides, Sect Master Void, you’re clearly supporting the fight between us and Happy. We have no other choice in this matter.”

“Cut your bull!”

Such an answer was as expected of the female boss who was publicly acknowledged by the other players in the game as the most feisty and straightforward among all the other female leaders. When she heard his words, she tightened her grip over her Mandarin Duck Saber.

“Hmph! You make your acts of killing others sound justified, but when you’re killed, you harbor a deep grudge against others. Enough with the nonsense. I have something I want you to bring to Dream Clouds though. I will never forget the battle at Eternal Peace Temple, and neither will my comrades from Chivalry Sect! Since you want to fight, we shall fight!”

When Zhou Yu heard Wind Void grit her teeth in exasperation and speak so resolutely, his expression changed slightly. He had not spoken since the start, but at that moment, he spoke up for the first time ever since the battle.

“Sect Master Void, in truth, as long as you agree to retreat to Changjiang and treat it as a border between our sects as well as promise not to cross over it, Class One Hall will leave. We won’t make things hard for you and Vice Sect Master Lin.”

“With Changjiang as the border?” Wind Void was stunned.

“That’s right.” Blood Robes smiled faintly and took over the conversation. “Sect Master Void, as long as you agree to it and have all your members retreat to the north of Changjiang, we will personally send you and Vice Sect Master Lin out of Eternal Peace Temple today and offer a tribute for all the losses your sect suffered. Sect Master Void, Vice Sect Master Lin, what do you think?”

“Hahahaha!” Just when Wind Void could not understand why Class One Hall would make such a suggestion, she suddenly heard Lin Xiao’s crazed laughter. “Class One Hall, what a group! You mobilized so many people to set us up all just because you wanted to get rid of Mu Clan…

“What a good plot! I see that you still don’t regard the alliance between Chivalry Sect and Mu Clan with any importance. If we really retreat south from Baokang to Changjiang, once you destroy Mu Clan, your next target will be Chivalry Sect! Class One Hall, how very cunning you are!”

The expressions of Blood Robes and Zhou Yu changed. They did not expect that Lin Xiao’s reaction would be so quick.

They had nearly deceived Wind Void, and once she agreed to it, they could use the battle replay as proof, which would make it easy to force Chivalry Sect to split up. Even if Chivalry Sect truly agreed to it, Class One Hall would then be able to use all their resources to destroy Mu Clan immediately, just as Lin Xiao had said.

When Wind Void heard Lin Xiao’s words, her face turned cold again.

“I see! Then I will tell you this today, you can dream on! Even if I die on this day, I will not agree to any of your requests, Class One Hall! After today, be prepared to withstand Chivalry Sect’s anger. I’d like to see whether the three great leaders of Class One Hall will be able to withstand the anger from Chivalry Sect and Mu Clan!”

Blood Robes said nothing, but his expression was red with rage, and his killing intent gradually surfaced. “Sect Master Void, I suppose that means that you are determined to be enemies with Class One Hall.”

Zhou Yu sighed faintly. “Sigh. Chivalry Sect is completely supported by Sect Master Void, Great Swordsman Lin, and Brother Red Dust. Once all three of them die, our peers in the game will all be filled with pity.”

“What did you say?!”

Wind Void finally reacted in time. She turned around and stared into Zhou Yu’s eyes. “Tell me, what did you do to Red Dust?!”

“I heard that Red Dust is currently heading to Eternal Peace Temple with Shaolin Temple’s disciples. You should know about this, right?” Zhou Yu leisurely cast Wind Void a glance. Then, his gaze finally landed on Lin Xiao’s pale and bloodless face. “Great Swordsman Lin, if that’s the case, do you still insist on not reconsidering the matter?”

“Heh.” Blood Robes smiled faintly, raised his hand, and rubbed his nose. “Our people there should have already taken action by now. Do come up with a decision quickly. The fate of Brother Red Dust and Chivalry Sect lies within your hands.”

“Killing three birds with one stone… Hall Master Dream Clouds does live up to her name as Class One Hall’s master. Her methods as the leader of the greatest guild is something that I, Wind Void, am regretful to admit that I cannot hope to compare.”

When Wind Void heard Blood Robes and Zhou Yu reveal more information of what was going on behind the scenes, her heart filled with gloominess.

Chivalry Sect might be huge, but once three of their leaders died at the same time, no one would be able to stand up and take charge!

At that moment, Class One Hall would switch tactics. They would first destroy Chivalry Sect before going for Mu Clan. Even though Mu Clan had ample strength to protect themselves, they lacked allies.

“Sect Master Void, Vice Sect Master Lin, it’s getting late now. Please make a decision.”

When Blood Robes saw that the number of people around him began increasing, he pushed the issue a little further.

Wind Void said nothing. She turned around, and with hate in her eyes, she glared at Blood Robes.

Lin Xiao’s gaze was determined.

“Chivalry Sect’s purpose has always been to act with chivalry and to place loyalty above all else. That is how our sect members are able to stay united. If we discard the greater good for small benefits, it will not be something that befits us. Sect master, today, it seems like we will have to share the same fate.”

“Nonsense.” Wind Void glared at Lin Xiao. “Even if I die today, I will not let Class One Hall have an easy time.”

Whoosh!

“Where do you think you’re going?!”

Blood Robes had been waiting for that for a long time. When he saw Wind Void’s movements, he turned his palm and moved like a phantom to intercept her.

Wind Void was much stronger than in Happy’s previous life because Chivalry Sect had developed in a stable manner, and her place as the third on the Phoenix Rank had always been secure. She might have never inherited an ultimate technique, but her skills right then were not any inferior to those of Blood Robes.

Whoosh!

She threw her tri-colored Mandarin Duck Saber flying in an arc.

Blood Robes swung an arm out, but Wind Void’s tri-colored Mandarin Duck Saber agilely spun around and avoided him. At that moment, he noticed that there was an invisible thread tied to the tri-colored Mandarin Duck Saber, and his expression changed.

‘This is bad!’

“Zhou Yu, stop her!”

While the tri-colored Mandarin Duck Saber stopped Blood Robes, Wind Void rushed to Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows, who were fighting against Lin Xiao. There was no one else by her side.

“What are you waiting for?! If Wind Void runs, our operation today will fail!”

But even after he urged Zhou Yu to make a move a few times, Zhou Yu still did not move. He held his silver spear tightly and stared to a side with a solemn gaze. Blood Robes then finally noticed that there was something wrong with the situation, and he turned his head around to look.

Zhou Yu was looking at a man dressed in a pale dark green robe. He stood on the wall with a face red with rage. His robes fluttered loudly because of the strong gusts of wind, and great killing intent could be seen in his eyes when the white veil under his hat was lifted. His killing intent spread through the entire area.
