Chapter 1064: Attack!

“Keep an eye on him!”
“The boss said if he changes direction, report immediately by pigeon message!”
“Huh… where is he?” When several disciples of Yipin Tang reached the ruins of Xifeng Tower’s headquarters, they suddenly lost Happy’s trace. Panicked, they broke into cold sweats, looking around frantically. One of them quickly flew to a higher place to check.
“Don’t panic. I saw him go in there just now,” someone said, stopping a companion who wanted to blindly fly high to chase after him, pointing to a shop with gold ingots hanging on its door.
“A money house?”
The group hurried to the door and indeed saw Happy talking with a clerk at the counter, sighing in relief.
“Good thing we didn’t lose him.”
“What’s he doing at a money house?”
“Could it be he’s going to Xifeng Tower?”
“Don’t rush. Let’s see. If it’s just to store something, we’ve passed several money houses along the way… This one is the closest to Xifeng Tower,” one of Yipin Tang’s disciples reminded them carefully.
“That’s true.”
The group calmed down.
…
Happy had long noticed the group following him but ignored them. Since the capital was completely under Yipin Tang’s control, it was unrealistic to walk around there without being noticed—especially since their destination was Xifeng Tower’s headquarters, a place under strict surveillance by Yipin Tang.
“Sir, how may I assist you?” the clerk at the counter asked enthusiastically.
When Happy expressed his intention to store something at the money house, the clerk’s smile grew even wider. “We charge a small fee for storing small items. If you have too many items, you might need to pay the price of a Qiankun Bag.”
“I have a Qiankun Bag. All the items I want to store are inside…” Without waiting for him to finish, Happy tossed over a delicate bag as expected. “Keep it safe.”
“Rest assured, sir,” the clerk said, his face beaming with flattery as he handled the high-quality Qiankun Bag. “I’ll ensure your items are safely stored. You can come and retrieve them anytime…” He skillfully sealed the bag and passed it into the money house through a small window.
After storing his items, Happy ignored the clerk’s enthusiastic recommendations and walked out of the money house.
Stepping outside, Happy felt a sense of relief, as if he had let go of all concerns. He took a deep breath and looked toward the ruins of Xifeng Tower’s headquarters in the distance.

From the moment the main hall of Xifeng Tower was completely reduced to ruins, it didn’t become deserted or quiet. Players passing by every day could see dozens of top experts from Yipin Hall lingering around the ruins, looking idle.
On the streets surrounding the ruins, there were many disciples of Yipin Hall; entering any restaurant, one could see them filling the seats. Whenever a disciple of Xifeng Tower approached, the people from Yipin Hall would immediately focus on them, followed by a group of others.
When Kai Xin stepped onto this street, it instantly fell silent…
Thud!
The footsteps were very light. On the balconies of the restaurants, and even on the rooftops on both sides of the street, members of Yipin Hall with wary and hostile expressions appeared one after another.
After turning into this street, not longer than fifty meters, more than two hundred people had followed from behind and on both sides… All of them stared at the solitary figure slowly walking toward the ruins of Xifeng Tower’s main hall with hostile eyes!
Kai Xin ignored the disciples of Yipin Hall appearing from all directions. Those assigned to stay here by Meng Yun were all elite members of Yipin Hall, but none of them were top experts, so there was no need to worry about them.
Kai Xin walked alone at the front and soon reached the open square outside Xifeng Tower’s main hall. This was the first time Kai Xin had seen the scene after the collapse of Xifeng Tower’s main hall.
Facing the pile of rubble that used to be Xifeng Tower’s main hall, Kai Xin couldn’t help but think back two days ago… Back then, Xifeng Tower was still one of the most powerful and inviolable forces in the Central Plains. But now, everything had changed—people and circumstances alike.
The dense footsteps pouring in from behind the street, along with the numerous dark figures emerging from the ruins, finally interrupted Kai Xin’s thoughts, pulling him out of his sighs.
With a cold gaze, Kai Xin swept his eyes emotionlessly over the clearly hostile group of Yipin Hall members ahead, his pupils narrowing slightly…
Just then, a person stepped out from the crowd across from him.
A swordsman in his thirties with a delicate appearance, exuding an aura of the Wuwei realm. His equipment was fairly good. With a hint of pride, he crossed his arms around his sword and stepped onto a raised section of broken wall, speaking in a tone full of smugness: “So you’re Kai Xin…” His tone held no reverence or respect, only mockery and derision: “I know why you’re here. But unfortunately, this place is now under our Yipin Hall’s control. Unless you kill us all, it’s impossible for you to take the wind chime away safely from here.”
“…”
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Kai Xin stopped.
The delicate-faced swordsman continued speaking:

“Baixiaosheng and Fengling are now enemies of Yipin Hall. They must be prepared for a fight to the death. Go back and tell Baixiaosheng to have Fengling delete her account and start over—her Nine Yin Jue Mai physique can no longer exist in the Central Plains!”
The members of Yipin Hall all showed signs of triumph!
Indeed.
Fengling was very famous, but now the entire Central Plains belonged to Yipin Hall, and no one could stop them from surrounding and killing her!
Not even Kai Xin…
Kai Xin couldn’t protect Fengling within the city’s safe zone either!
Hearing the words of Yipin Hall’s graceful swordsmen, Kai Xin finally reacted. She slightly raised her chin and, in front of countless Yipin Hall disciples, displayed a pair of cold eyes!
In that moment,
countless Yipin Hall disciples felt as if their blood had frozen from the bone-chilling fear… they genuinely sensed a murderous intent looming over them.
A hundred meters away, Yi Di, who was rushing at full speed, suddenly paused and instinctively glanced in the direction of Xifeng Tower’s headquarters.
Wu Kuo, who was right behind him, quickly noticed something unusual about Yi Di’s behavior:
“What’s wrong?”
“There’s a very strong sword intent ahead!” Yi Di replied with a frown, his voice tense. “It’s inside Xifeng Tower’s headquarters… I’m afraid… Kai Xin has already started fighting against Yipin Hall.”
“What! In the city!?”
Wu Kuo and the group behind him let out uncontrollable exclamations, their faces filled with disbelief:
“After the headquarters was destroyed, it’s no longer a place where battles can take place—it’s a safe zone protected by the imperial court! Surely Kai Xin knows that!?”
Although they had been sent here on orders, they still didn’t know the full situation. Hearing that Kai Xin might be fighting inside the city’s safe zone, everyone’s hair stood on end, and they broke into cold sweats.
Yi Di didn’t say anything further. Instead, his expression grew even more serious. He tapped on the stone steps of a nearby shop and swiftly leaped to the rooftops like a ghost.
Rushing at full speed!
From above!
The ruined headquarters of Xifeng Tower came into view before Yi Di’s eyes.
What he saw made his pupils shrink instantly—the square outside Xifeng Tower’s headquarters was packed with people, probably over three thousand of them!
There were even more onlookers in the streets!
Kai Xin’s sword intent stood out in the densest part of the crowd…
“Thankfully, no fighting has started yet.”
Wu Kuo also followed up, clearly having noticed what was ahead. Relieved sighs came from behind Yi Di.
Before Wu Kuo’s words could fully fade, Yi Di suddenly frowned, sensing that Kai Xin’s sword intent was turning into genuine murderous intent. He couldn’t help but exclaim in alarm!
“That’s bad!”

“…”
The group still hadn’t reacted.
Outside the main hall of Xifeng Tower, Kai Xin suddenly rushed into the ruins like a drawn sword!
Boom!!
Under the stunned gazes of Wu Kuo and the others, Kai Xin’s figure seemed to burst forth with brilliant flames—crimson flames erupting violently from the ranks of Yipin Tang!
At the edge of the roof leading to the square in front of Xifeng Tower’s main hall, Yi Di suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Wu Kuo and the others also stopped one after another, staring in disbelief at the chaotic scene in the ruins, their faces turning pale…
“It’s over.”
“Kai Xin must have lost control after being provoked by Yipin Tang’s words…”
“This is bad!”
Except for Yi Di, all the experts from Xifeng Tower showed expressions of deep distress and regret: “Damn it! We came too late!”
Amidst the pale, lifeless gazes of the crowd, the onlookers around erupted in shock and outcry!
“What’s going on?”
“How could Kai Xin start fighting in the safe zone of the capital?”
“This is terrible!”
“Is he crazy? This is the capital! The Eastern and Western Factories, the Jinyiwei, and the Six Gates will chase him to the ends of the earth!” Many expressed utter confusion.
On the other hand, after Kai Xin’s sudden and fierce attack killed a group of disciples, including the Graceful Swordsmen, the troops from all directions quickly reacted. Cheers and urgent shouts erupted like a tidal wave among the crowd:
“Great!”
“Kai Xin is killing people in the capital’s safe zone!!”
“Brilliant!!”
“Hurry and tell the sect leader!”
“Brothers, we must hold Kai Xin back! The imperial experts will arrive soon—let’s all go at once! Hold him back! Keep him here! Don’t let him escape!”
“Haha… Let’s see what he does! He’s skilled in combat but not smart. This time, with everything exposed about him, he’ll be imprisoned for a month!”
“Be careful and seal off any escape routes…”
“Don’t fear death, brothers! We’re about to achieve great merit! As long as we can hold him back for a while, once the imperial experts arrive, he’s done for!”
Such calls and reminders kept coming one after another.
Each disciple of Yipin Tang’s face turned red with excitement; they activated their full powers, deployed defensive barriers with swords drawn, unable to contain their enthusiasm.
Outside Xifeng Tower’s main hall, it instantly turned into a boiling sea!
Thousands of Yipin Tang disciples rushed to surround Kai Xin!
The onlookers stamped their feet in grief, gritting their teeth, wishing Kai Xin would simply kill more members of Yipin Tang to make things worse.

But for the people of Xifeng Tower, Happy’s intervention was undoubtedly a signal that things would only get worse… Only the Emperor remained silent, observing from the side from the moment Happy took action, his gaze deep as he pondered something unknown.
