Chapter 638: Return in Disappointment

It was a game with Chinese martial arts at its core, and the setting was that of the ancient martial artist community in China!

If someone could defeat the best Chinese martial artist with this kind of condition around, Abu knew just what sort of glory and wealth they would receive. But even if he lost, he would not suffer any loss, but he did not expect that Mu Clan would not give them any chance. In fact, they did not even manage to meet Happy and his group of best elites. The small branch master had used the most brutal way to make them understand the distance between them.

Mu Clan was the best player sect in the Chinese server, and Abu had never been able to understand the strength of the great players or the top-class sect!

A branch master like Rampaging Dragon already possessed the strength to stand completely on his own, even though he only led a normal branch. He could stop the violent wave from southwest, and it made Abu finally understand the accumulated strength of Mu Clan.

“As expected of the best clan in China. I am willing to admit defeat…”

When Abu saw that Rampaging Dragon had defeated Tiger on the Road, he quickly went forward to make his announcement. His voice was sonorous and powerful when he said it.

“The Chinese world of martial artists does have a lot of hidden gems. It seems like I have been rude.” He stopped talking for a moment before his tone changed. “But I will come again. I hope that at that time, I will be able to see your clan master with my own eyes!”

Once he finished speaking, under the Mu Clan members’ delighted and proud gazes, Abu had Tiger on the Road’s disciples pick him up, and the group turned around to leave Mu Clan’s branch.

Rampaging Dragon did not stop them.

This time, not only had he wiped away the humiliation he suffered previously by making Abu and his group of elites return in disappointment, he had also gained a huge boost in ego. It was enough. There was no need for them to kill the others down to the last man.

“I won’t be sending you off.” Rampaging Dragon wrapped his fist in his palm without hesitation.

The group watched Abu and his people vanish in the horizon, and the Mu Clan members returned to their posts while their bodies were still brimming from excitement.

“Branch master, you’re awesome!”

“Where did you get that equipment from? It’s too cool!”

“Go back to your posts, man.” Rampaging Dragon smiled and moved away from the members who came up to him to chat. He walked to a corner of the branch. “Boss Happy, Big Brother Silver Wolf.”

Both of them smiled and nodded.

“You did great.”

“It’s all thanks to your equipment, or else, I wouldn’t have been able to suppress Tiger on the Road. Just now, he didn’t even dare to use his long-distance fist-generated wind…. It feels great!”

Rampaging Dragon allowed his level-headedness fade away slightly when he was in front of Happy and Silver Wolf. He revealed the honest and cautious attitude young people had, though it was rarely seen on him.

As he spoke, Rampaging Dragon removed his equipment and extended it over.

Happy waved his hand. “From now on, it’s yours.”

“Huh?”

For the first time, Rampaging Dragon’s expression changed, and he looked shocked. He could not even hide it. His hands quivered, and he stared into Happy’s eyes in disbelief. “This item is too valuable and expensive. My current contribution points…”

He knew just how much the set was worth. It was an expensive equipment that was worth tens of billions of taels of silver, and it was a luxurious item that many top-tier elites would find hard to come by!

He did not expect that he would truly obtain it one day.

“Take it. Right now, you’re the branch master of Sky Demon Branch. If you don’t have a set of good equipment, how could you spread the mighty name of Mu Clan?”

Happy’s smile did not fade away as he watched Rampaging Dragon’s face fill with excitement and delight. “But you mustn’t be negligent. You still need to pay with contribution points. I’ll deduct it out of the loot and quests you do every day from now on, and I’ll continue deducting it until I think it’s sufficient. What do you say?”

“Alright!”

Rampaging Dragon felt on cloud nine. He nodded quickly and carressed the equipment. He was at the peak of his excitement. “Don’t worry, boss, I definitely won’t disappoint you!”

No one else in his place would be able to refuse such an offer as well!

Being able to get an entire set of fourth-echelon Purple Scale Armor as well as a fourth-echelon Sky Breaker Sound before contribution points allowed it helped his strength increase by leaps and bounds. It moved him infinitesimally close to the ranks of the top-class elites, even though he was previously only among the first-class players.

There was no one who could refuse to become stronger.

“Once you become powerful, your responsibilities will become greater. You have to understand the meaning behind me giving you this set of equipment…”

Happy stared into Rampaging Dragon’s eyes while speaking in a calm voice.

Rampaging Dragon did not disappoint him. He soon became calm again, and he put on a contemplative expression before he nodded vigorously. “I understand! I’ll definitely protect this set of equipment and not let anyone invade Sky Demon Branch!”

“It’s good that you understand this.”

Happy nodded in gratification.

“Eleventh Crane will serve as your right hand man from now on. He will be your vice branch master. You will also have Young Fallen Rain supporting you. Silver and I, along with a few other people, will stay here for a period of time. Remember to follow us when we go into Sky Demon Secret Cave. When we leave, I hope that you will be able to lead your men and completely control this region.”

Rampaging Dragon had a solemn expression on his face.

If Happy, Silver Wolf, and other top-class elites were willing to stay for a period of time as well as set up a Sky Demon Branch outside the city, it was enough to prove just how important Sky Demon Secret Cave was. He quickly understood the meaning behind Happy’s words and nodded vigorously.

“I’ll try my best to control Sky Demon Orders and Sky Demon Secret Cave.”

“There are plenty of ways for you to control it. You don’t need to monopolize it. You just need to make sure that every time Sky Demon Secret Cave is activated, our people are found inside, and that’ll be enough. Try not to turn Sky Demon Secret Cave into a place filled with trouble,” Happy said.

He did not want to make the Chinese martial artists hate Mu Clan and become hostile toward them just because of Sky Demon Secret Cave. Even though Mu Clan was already strong enough that they could lock down and monopolize Sky Demon Secret Cave, Happy’s goal was not to become the second Dream Clouds.

“I’ll definitely do things in moderation.”

“I believe that you’ll be able to do well.”

Once Rampaging Dragon left, Silver Wolf looked away and said to Happy, “This is the second set of fourth-echelon equipment you gave out. With Phoenix Dances and Rampaging Dragon serving as garrisons, the two regions should be fine, and we’ll be able to gain a stable footing in them.

“We have Thunderous Battle at Changjiang River Basin, and there’s no need to even mention his equipment! Besides, right now, he has powerful martial artists training with him every day, and his skills are somewhat among the ranks of top-class fighters. The only region we need to worry about is Jiangnan.”

“Yeah.” Happy frowned slightly.

Even though Mu Clan enjoyed great success in Jiangnan and had even formed an alliance with Chivalry Sect, who also occupied a large area of that place, thus allowing them to be as strong as an iron wall, recently, some news had leaked that Chivalry Sect was in conflict with many large local sects, and their fights were as fierce as raging fire.

It seemed like the main reason for it was because Chivalry Sect made some mistakes while taking in some members. A few of their members were lacking in character, and they frequently argued as well as fought against others, thus worsening the relationship between the local sects and Chivalry Sect.

Even though Lin Xiao and Red Dust tried to mediate the situation, they were surrounded by trouble. Compared to Momo, Lin Xiao and Red Dust’s gentle policies caused certain negative opinions to stir up within the sect itself.

As more of their own died, Chivalry Sect started calling out for the sect to suppress the local sects and steal their resource points!

Happy suspected that it might be because of Towering Palace’s desire to expand their territory in Jiangnan’s coastal area. Class One Hall might also have a hand in it.

But there were too many things linked to that place, and too many sects were involved. It was not suitable for Mu Clan to show up. Happy had to make sure that no one would attack Mu Clan at such a time.
