A smart woman will usually have ambitions other people did not have. A strong woman will not be content with her current situation.
Phantasmal Shadow was a woman with both strength and talent. Ever since World of Martial Arts was launched, she can always increase her strength while keeping a low profile. Then, she will take everyone by surprise by acting boldly once to use the chance to gain even more chances for herself.
But unfortunately for her, when Phantasmal Shadow decided to show her might, there were another great players popping up one after another in the game.
There was One Emperor, the strongest on Dragon Rank, One Emperor, whose sword technique was unmatched! He was like a presence who stood among clouds, and no one could touch him.
There was Dream Clouds, the strongest on Phoenix Rank. She had the greatest and most compact organization in the Chinese world of martial artists, and during the early stages of the game, she established her might and occupied one corner of the entire Chinese server.
There was Happy, the top on Famous People Rank, who could pull the strings in the events in the Chinese world of martial artists. With his skills that made him move like a swimming dragon and his techniques, he moved about the Chinese server and stirred up a storm in the game.
The Music sisters were extremely lucky. With a group of elites helping them, they occupied the advantages in the coastal area.
Wind Void was a martial arts maniac, She was a woman who continuously chased after Dream Clouds, and she was supported by the resources from Chivalry Sect, allowing her to constantly threaten Dream Clouds' position as the strongest woman in the game!
As for Phantasmal Shadow, while she was good, she was not as dazzling as Happy, One Emperor, and the others.
Phantasmal Shadow might have leadership abilities, when Wind Assault Tower became powerful, the Chinese world of martial artists had already become a place where the four top-class sects ruled.
Wind Assault Tower's development was extremely limited and restricted.
Phantasmal Shadow could not fight against any of those four sects at all.
But Phantasmal Shadow refused the requests from many other sects to form an alliance.
Because once she formed an alliance, she will not be truly strong. Instead, forming an alliance was a presentation of the weak. Unless she became the head of the alliance, it will not bring a lot of benefits for Wind Assault Tower, but who will want to have a woman as the head of an alliance?
Besides, Phantasmal Shadow's goal was not limited to only this!
She was willing to lurk around in the shadows and wait for a chance.
Class One Hall and Mu Clan's relationship, Chivalry Sect and Class One Hall's relationship, along with Clear Music's wild ambitions allowed her to not be in a hurry to realize her ambitions. Instead, she slowly developed Wind Assault Tower and stabilized her strength.
Right now, her chance had finally arrived.
Even though she was rather surprised by how Towering Palace would dare to attack the largest force in the Chinese server—Mu Clan—and was also surprised that the first to be stripped off their title as a top-class sect was not Class One Hall, when Phantasmal Shadow made her decision, she did so without hesitation and was incredibly resolute!
She knew that the time had come for her to leave Beijing and break free of Class One Hall's influence and shadow.
Even though the territory she currently obtained was not big, if she used the cities in the coastal area as her stepping stone, she will get an environment where it will be very easy for her to develop her palace instead of being constantly worried that Dream Clouds will treat her as an eyesore.
Rumble!
Two thousand Wind Assault Tower elites appeared on horseback with an orderly formation outside the forest six miles away from Yangzhou City. They stared at the hundreds of people who appeared in the distance, and they did not move.
Those hundreds of people were the Mu Clan members who came out of Yangzhou City.
*****
"Big Brother Silver Wolf also came out!"
"Let's slaughter our way back!"
Once Little North received the news, he did not care that there was still a large group of Towering Palace members chasing after him. He and his three hundred Mu Clan members turned around with an indomitable spirit and launched a charge so vicious that they scattered Towering Palace's forces, allowing them to receive Silver Wolf and the others, who had been escorted out of the city by One Emperor.
Once both groups of people met up with each other, the people behind them had already retreated far away and did not dare approach them.
"Since you're already out, I've achieved my goal. Take care of yourselves now."
One Emperor ran into the distance without hesitation.
Whoosh!
Silver Wolf, Little North, and the group of Mu Clan members watched One Emperor leave into the distance with a complicated gaze."Let's go. Once One Emperor leaves, the people from Towering Palace will definitely continue chasing after us."
The Mu Clan members had their eyes turn red, and they were filled with endless sadness as well as hatred.
"Big Brother Silver Wolf, we still have thousands of our friends trapped in the Guanlin Temples around Yangzhou City. Those bastards from Towering Palace surrounded those temples. We definitely have to save them!"
"Don't worry." Silver Wolf stared at Yangzhou City with a scowl."We'll definitely come back."
Wind Chimes was also in a Guanlin Temple. He never forgot about her.
"We'll leave this place first and make sure that we remain useful. Our main priority is to meet up with Happy now! Once the boss comes here, we'll settle our grudge with Towering Palace!" Little North said through gritted teeth.
"Alright!"
The group responded to his call, and their morale was lifted.
At that moment, two snow-white messenger pigeons landed in front of Little North and Silver Wolf.
"Happy's letter."
Both became high-spirited.
They quickly spread out the letter, and the information contained in the letter caused both to be stunned.
"Boss Silver Wolf, Boss Little North, what's the news? Where's the clan master?"
"We'll tell you once we get on our horses!"
They said nothing else. The group of people summoned their steeds and followed behind Silver Wolf to charge forward.
Rumbling horse hooves could be heard clearly from Yangzhou City. The people from Towering Palace had already begun chasing after them!
*****
"Take a shortcut!"
"We must stop them before they meet up with Happy!"
The sounds of horse hooves were like thunder, and the Towering Palace members shouted madly behind the Mu Clan members.
Under Vast Heaven's command, small groups of people would continuously split up from the large group and dash into the forest nearby to the left or right.
*****
They had run for less than six miles before Silver Wolf and the others entered a flat government-made road. Their field of vision became wide.
There was a black mass of cavaliers standing there, and they seemed to have been waiting for a long time over there.
A small commotion broke out in Mu Clan's team.
"There's someone over there!"
"Damn it, they sure are fast!"
"Slaughter our way out!"
The group of people drew their weapons, but at that moment, Silver Wolf saw a person ride forward.
"Wait, they're friendly forces!"
He quickly stopped the clan members who were about to attack.
The group of people were instantly stunned."Friendly forces?"
When the rider rode near, they noticed that he did indeed not have three blood drops serving as his sect emblem on his chest. Instead, it was a rather elegant emblem they had never seen before.
"I am Wu Kuo, Wind Assault Tower's vice tower master. My tower master and I are acting according to your second clan master's orders to lead two thousand of our tower members to receive all of you! Everyone, you've fought hard!"
At the end, his eyes sparkled, and he sincerely showed the admiration as well as respect in his heart.
Because Wu Kuo could see from Silver Wolf and the others that they were all covered in wounds. They had wounds from arrows, sabers, and axes. Some of them even had their armor so badly damaged that they were already badly contorted. When he looked over, he found the sight terrifying to behold.
This group of people had broken out of the encirclement formed by tens of thousands of Towering Palace members and got out of Yangzhou City!
"I see, so you're our friends from Wind Assault Tower. Brother Wu, we meet again."
"Big Brother Silver Wolf." Wu Kuo might not be very young, but when he stood in front of Silver Wolf, he treated himself as a junior, allowing the Mu Clan members to feel honored.
Silver Wolf did not bother about it too much. He asked with a solemn tone, "Let's cut to the chase. We've already received Happy's letter, and those from Towering Palace are already chasing after us. What are your plans?"
Wu Kuo smiled.
"We'll fight!"
