Since Dream Clouds did not prepare the conversation in this direction, under Happy meticulously planned scheme, during their verbal battle, Class One Hall ended up at a disadvantage. Happy seized the bargaining chip that was Dragon Sect's elite Teacher, along with the hidden, unstable element that was Barren Murderer, and held the reigns of the conversation tightly in his hands, causing Dream Clouds, who wanted to seek justice for the three hundred or so people who died, to be unable to do anything about the situation.
Because neither of them had publicly turned complete enemies against each other.
Dream Clouds also did not want to accuse Happy that he already knew that Teacher and the others from Dragon Sect had joined them.
But Happy had declared that he went over to the branch to seek revenge from Teacher.
And now, both sides were waiting for the other to reveal a flaw in their argument.
Unfortunately, both sides had their own apprehensions.
But when Dream Clouds had grown so impatient that she gnashed her teeth, swallowed her frustrations, and wanted to turn around to leave, Happy, in an act befitting of a true rascal, mentioned the matter of Barren Murderer provoking Mu Clan. He exploited the upper hand he had already gained in this situation and continued applying pressure on Dream Clouds.
"I don't know how great of a grudge Vice Hall Master Barren has on Mu Clan, but since Mu Clan's members were humiliated, I have the obligation to restore their dignity!"
When he said this, Happy stopped.
Dream Clouds and the others had their expressions instantly change.
Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows had anguished expressions on their faces, and they felt so gloomy that they wanted to cough up blood.
They already did not dare act recklessly before the strongest player in the Chinese server, and they were as meek as lambs. Right now, Happy had decided to ask for even more and did not want to let even the slightest chance go. Within a flash, both felt suffocating helplessness and resignation.
"... It is indeed Vice Hall Master Barren's fault for what happened to Mu Clan's branch. Even if it's to take revenge for a personal matter, he should not have done it at the entrance to Mu Clan's branch. For this, I believe that Vice Hall Master Barren should compensate those Mu Clan members some money and equipment, and we should let matters slide after that." Zhou Yu saw that Dream Clouds had already lost control her temper slightly, and he spoke ahead of her.
"Well, I did obtain quite a number of items from your disciples in the branch, so I can use it to compensate them slightly. Let's not use gold or equipment as compensation. Vice Hall Master Barren, you just need to give each of them one Illusion Life and Death Pill."
Happy's shameless words caused Dream Clouds and the other Class One Hall members to feel like vomiting blood.
They had seen shameless people before, but they had never met someone so shameless!
He actually had the guts to say that the loot from more than three hundred people was only somewhat enough to cover for the losses those few Mu Clan members suffered.
Did normal Mu Clan members need the valuable Illusion Life and Death Pill as compensation when they died?!
"We'll need a total of thirteen pills. To Class One Hall, that should be a small, insignificant number. I wonder if Vice Hall Master Barren will hand it over right now or go back to get them." Happy's aggressive tone made Dream Clouds and the other Class One Hall members understand what it meant to be the Chinese server's strongest player in demanding compensation from others.
But Dream Clouds had not reached the point that she will continue engaging Happy in this verbal fight or even turn complete enemies with him for the sake of thirteen Illusion Life and Death Pills.
She also could not be bothered with arguing with Happy about how many people Barren Murderer killed anymore.
Right now, she just wanted to leave this accursed place as soon as possible.
"We'll give you the Illusion Life and Death Pills as soon as possible."
"That's good to know. I am indeed confident with your trustworthiness. You will definitely not take possession of these small amount of items. By the way, it'll be best if you chase away those people from Dragon Sect as soon as possible, or else, if they accidentally drag you into the troubles they caused, I will feel really uneasy."
Behind them was Happy's clear voice, and Dream Clouds, who had already turned around in order to leave, staggered a little.
"Let's go."
The people from Class One Hall came with an aggressive presence, and they left while fuming! Everyone on the street could tell that Class One Hall had basically completely lost in this negotiation.
While Happy stood on the stairs, he used a mocking look to watch Dream Clouds and her group leave. And finally, a hint of relief appeared on his face.
This time, he got rid of Dragon Sect and his group, and Class One Hall should not dare to take the risk in continuing to keep those from Dragon Sect around.
As Mu Clan's members entered Beijing, those from Dragon Sect will not dare to continue staying near Beijing or in the north. They will either have to go out to sea or log off to wait for a chance before they could log in again.
Besides, he made Class One Hall lose thirteen Illusion Life and Death Pills in one go this time, and Dream Clouds also gave Dragon Sect more than thirty pills at the start when they joined Class One Hall. If they had to use those pills in one large scale again this time, Class One Hall might not have a lot of stock left.
'The war at the borders is about to break out. Dream Clouds will more or less leave behind a batch of Illusion Life and Death Pills to serve as backup in case the need for them arises. It will be difficult for her to continue providing those pills for Dragon Sect. Besides, she will also have to be on guard against Mu Clan... '
Happy made some calculations in his mind, and he gradually became at ease.
For the next month, Dragon Sect will pose as no threat to Mu Clan.
After tonight, Mu Clan's elites, Chivalry Sect's elites, and many of the powerful players in the Chinese plains will head north to the battlefield, and Class One Hall will not dare act recklessly.
His intimidation in Beijing had been completed perfectly.
What he needed to do next was to use every ounce of his strength to head to the borders in preparation to carry out the large-scale quest that was to provide reinforcements to the borders.
*****
That night, Beijing swiftly burst into life.
As more powerful people from Dragon Rank, Phoenix Rank, Famous People Rank, and Demon Influence Rank rushed to Beijing from everywhere in the Chinese plains, martial artists in the streets of Beijing could be seen in a never-ending stream.
The players can even occasionally see a few familiar solo players or groups of elite players with extraordinary presences charging down the streets of Beijing.
The increase of great players meant that there will be an abundance of activity in the city, and that also meant business!
The sects or players in Beijing quickly occupied valuable spots in the market, and they were very active over there, because they hoped that they could use this rare opportunity of the quest drawing in such a large group of people to make a large profit.
All sorts of people crying out for wares in the market rose and fell, and it was even livelier than Chinese new year.
"Hey! Those with money, don't miss out when you're strolling the streets. We have here a four-echelon equipment which has high defense. There's only one available, and if you have it, you can move around like fish in water during the quest, and you can get a lot points!"
"This is a map of the borders! Those who understand its importance, come over here! Those who are stingy with their money, please leave!"
"When you fight against Mongolian armored cavaliers, you won't be able to hurt them without a good bow! This over here is a grade one bow! It has five hundred attack and extremely fast attack speed! When you fold it, you can even use it as a unique weapon. This is a great promotion! You will only need to pay two million for it, and we'll even give you three Armor Breaking Recondite Steel Arrows for it!"
"What the heck? What is this stupid thing? How could you sell it for such a high price?!"
"If you don't it, then go!"
"I'm buying Little Li Flying Daggers! Price is negotiable! PM me via messenger pigeon!"
Happy met up with Silver Wolf, Momo, Little North, Knife, and the others before he entered the market, and he nearly had his eardrums burst because of the loud shouts from the place.
In all honesty, Happy did not have the habit of strolling through the market in his previous life, because he never really had a great need for equipment.
In this life, ever since he built Mu Clan, Happy already spent very little time in strolling through the market. The equipment in the world outside simply could not compare with the highly refined products created by Mu Clan.
For example, right now, many players were still stuck at the stage of having an entire set of equipment at the third echelon, and masterpieces at the fourth echelon were still symbols of fame and respect that only great players could obtain, but in Happy's eyes, only high-grade divine weapons at the third or fourth echelon could attract his attention slightly.
There were already several sets of grade one masterpieces at the fourth echelon stored in Mu Clan's secret storage, and when he needed it, he could casually bring out one or two sets. They also had no fewer than fifty divine weapons and demon vessels at the fourth echelon, as well as many more weapons and equipment that were not refined to the fourth echelon.
As for martial art manuals, what Happy needed was supreme grade stuff at Moksha Realm, and these items can only be obtained from NPCs at the peak of Inaction Realm. There was no way any normal person will have it, and it was impossible to see it in the market.
But there were plenty of powerful players who were gathered from everywhere in Beijing, the emperor's city, which meant that there were a lot of strange treasures around the area. Happy was still interested in glancing through them. After all, he might be able to get some of the treasures he remembered in his previous life.
Even if he could not use them himself, he could still fill up Mu Clan's storage!
