Chapter 1092: Revenge Fund

While Happy had caused chaos in the world three years ago, three years later, some crises emerged.
Five days after the Evil Emperor’s death, all the affiliated forces of the Northern First-Class Hall retreated, too afraid to show themselves and risk death under the pressure of Happy and the One Emperor!
But the situation in the south was not so smooth…
Although Shadow had established a solid foothold in the south, the Wild Wolf Organization gradually began to show its strength!
Groups of skilled fighters from Goryeo, Fusang, Thailand, Vietnam, and Persia arrived in the southern region, joining forces with the affiliated forces of the First-Class Hall to launch a fierce attack on the cities where Shadow had just secured its position.
There were few top fighters from the Central Plains; most were members of the Wild Wolf Organization or elite fighters from foreign gangs under their control—over three hundred in total.
Under the sudden combined force of the First-Class Hall and the Wild Wolf Organization, the situation for the Wind-Attacking Tower became extremely difficult.
Within a day, three branch halls were lost, more than a dozen peripheral branch halls were in danger, and the rest also fell into crisis.
“Damn it!”
“Where did all these skilled fighters come from?”
“Over there, several of our brothers went out to train this morning, and within less than an hour, they were defeated… Everywhere there are foreign fighters lurking. Now all our brothers are on high alert and dare not leave the city…”
“Stop talking. Things are worse for us. All the professional players at our resource points have been killed. We tried to follow the example of Splendid Rivers and Mountains by assigning resources to other gangs, but they refuse to accept them.”
“Sigh.”
“It’s hopeless!”
“Tower master! This won’t work. We won’t be able to hold on much longer. I think we should send a message to the One Emperor and ask him to come south to help. With him here, at least the First-Class Hall and the Wild Wolf Organization won’t act so recklessly… Or maybe we should ask Splendid Rivers and Mountains for help. I heard their forces already number over four hundred thousand!”
The suggestions from the elders made Shadow, who was already overwhelmed by numerous problems, frown even more: “What terrible ideas!”
After a pause, Shadow’s tone changed, and he snapped sharply, “Without the One Emperor and Happy, can’t the Wind-Attacking Tower survive in the Central Plains?”

“Besides! If it weren’t for Jinxiu Heshan in the north holding back most of Yipin Tang’s forces, how could we have such a relaxed situation now? Sending over Yidi? By then, while we might be safe, Jinxiu Heshan probably wouldn’t even be able to hold out long enough for the Evil Emperor to leave prison…”
At these words, Shadow let out a deep snort.
Although Jinxiu Heshan’s scale and reputation in the martial world were growing, Shadow knew well that these temporarily assembled forces were nothing more than a considerable pile of sand. Without the presence of Happy and Yidi, those two great figures, and without the foundation of the two major gangs from the capital, they would never have reached this point.
Now…
To Shadow, Jinxiu Heshan was a barrier blocking the northern tigers.
Neither Yidi nor Happy could be moved.
Once this barrier of Jinxiu Heshan collapsed, Xifeng Tower would soon fall into an even more dangerous and harsh situation!
At least dozens of branch temples still remained, and some of the outdoor ones were in the midst of urgent construction—with these temples located in strategic locations surrounded by mountains and lakes, easy to defend and hard to attack, Xifeng Tower could possibly survive longer in the Central Plains.
“Tower Master, there’s news from the north.”
Just then, Wu Kuo rushed in from outside, looking very anxious, quickly drawing the attention of Shadow and the group of elders.
Shadow frowned:
“Is Yipin Tang taking action?” What worried her most was the possibility that Jinxiu Heshan’s deterrence effect on Yipin Tang might fail.
“No, with Happy and Yidi around, along with hundreds of thousands of troops, Yipin Tang and those affiliated gangs are still as inactive as before—staying inside their bases…”
Hearing Wu Kuo’s reply, the group quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Then what’s the hurry? You’re running so fast…” Shadow still couldn’t relax her worried mind.
“Good news!”
Wu Kuo stepped forward and smiled slightly:
“As you know, Tower Master, Jinxiu Heshan, founded by Happy, is currently just a temporary gang, and no one knows how long it will last.”
“Mm…” Shadow nodded.
Not only she knew this, but many who were aware of the situation also understood that the calamity in the Central Plains had not passed. As long as the members of the Wild Wolf Organization hadn’t withdrawn from the Central Plains and the Evil Emperor hadn’t left, the region could be reclaimed by Yipin Tang’s iron-fisted rule at any time!
A gang like Jinxiu Heshan, temporarily formed by Happy to resist Yipin Tang and the Wild Wolf Organization, was the first force that Mengyun intended to eliminate.

“Although Jinxiu Heshan is a temporary gang, it possesses and controls all resource points within hundreds of miles of the capital, giving it an extraordinary influence! Moreover… currently, Jinxiu Heshan’s finances are in the hands of Kai Xin, who is said to have amassed a considerable fortune from the resources around them… Meng Yun even had it publicly announced online how much wealth Kai Xin has acquired… Preliminary estimates suggest that Kai Xin has collected over 50 billion silver taels from various gangs.”

“50 billion…”

Many present raised their eyebrows, clearly shocked.

“That’s right! 50 billion,” Wu Kuo affirmed with a nod. “Since they know Jinxiu Heshan’s enemies are Yipin Tang and the Wild Wolves Organization, the gangs around the capital have been very generous, with most paying half a month’s worth of protection fees at once.”

“That’s a huge amount.”

The people present gradually realized this, and some even expressed concern: “If all that money falls into Kai Xin’s hands and isn’t used properly, it might not only fail to help Jinxiu Heshan or strengthen it but could instead become the cause of its downfall…”

“That’s true.”

“Should we remind Kai Xin?” one of the elders suggested.

Miyang shook his head: “No… Kai Xin’s status has changed. After all, he is the leader of Jinxiu Heshan. We have no right to interfere with his financial decisions. We’re not in a hierarchical relationship—keep that in mind… If we phrase things wrong, it could be misinterpreted as Xifeng Tower trying to lecture him on how to handle things.”

“…”

The group grew even more worried: “But we can’t just stand by and let Meng Yun ruin Jinxiu Heshan! This is clearly Meng Yun’s strategy to create discord!”

At that moment, Wu Kuo glanced at the elders and then at Miyang: “You’re overthinking it. What I actually meant is that Kai Xin just had Ji Feng announce Jinxiu Heshan’s gang system. I think we could take that as a reference.”

“A gang system?”

The group was stunned by Wu Kuo’s surprising statement: “The Evil Emperor will soon be released from the Ministry of Punishments. Kai Xin knows that. How dare he establish a gang system? Doesn’t he realize what might happen?”

The people of Xifeng Tower had extensive experience in this area. They knew well that a gang with many branches needed a system to maintain fairness and ensure the proper functioning of such a large organization. Gang warehouses and contributions were essential…

But the various branches, which were constantly on the verge of collapse, clearly weren’t suitable for establishing detailed systems.

Could it be that…

Kai Xin was forced to introduce a system to resolve the crisis due to Meng Yun’s strategy of sowing discord?

Although it was dealt with promptly, this made it easier for loopholes to be exploited.
In the hall, a group of elders were arguing loudly again!
Buzz buzz buzz…
The hall resembled a market.
Wu Kuo, unable to stand it any longer, raised his hand:
“Stop guessing… Happy’s gang system is different from ours. Rather than a gang system, it’s more like a revenge fund!”
“Hm?”
Everyone turned to look at him and fell silent.
This was the third time the group led by Shadow was stunned.
“Can’t you just say it all at once?” Shadow stared at Wu Kuo in exasperation. Wu Kuo, feeling embarrassed, then explained in detail the news he had just received.
There wasn’t much information! The system was simple!
The group quickly understood what Wu Kuo meant by the system.
That’s right. A revenge fund.
Happy announced that starting from that day, Jinxiu Heshan would establish a fund distribution system! The initial amount in the fund was five hundred billion taels of silver!
Any member of Jinxiu Heshan who killed a member above the Jie Tuo realm of Yipin Tang, or a disciple of Xue Meng, a member of Shi Ka Tang, a disciple of one of the twelve capital city gangs, or a member of the Wild Wolf Organization… if they succeeded in killing them and reported their names, saved the kill REP, and uploaded it to a designated website, would be eligible to receive a certain amount from the fund.
A regular enemy gang member at the Jie Tuo realm could only have one valid count per month; accumulating two counts would qualify them for the fund, with a minimum of two hundred thousand taels of silver!
If the killed person was a master at the Wu Wei realm, killing one would earn one million taels of silver; killing a sub-temple leader or an elder-level master would also earn one million taels of silver; killing a top-tier master would earn two million taels of silver per kill! (There were countless valid kills per month, each time counted after the opponent recovered their strength.)
In addition!
Players outside Jinxiu Heshan could also obtain the revenge fund through their own kill REP—though they needed five or more valid kills each time to qualify for a fund withdrawal, along with the option to join Jinxiu Heshan.
Happy even said!
If Yipin Tang and its allied forces numbered over two million, and if all of them were killed within a month, Jinxiu Heshan would face a financial deficit…
But if the heroes of the Central Plains could really achieve this, he was willing to use his earnings from paid channels to distribute cash as compensation!
As soon as this news spread, the north was in an uproar!
Not only did Meng Yun’s scheme to sow discord vanish completely from the internet and the martial world, but it also triggered a massive campaign across the Central Plains to eliminate the members of Yipin Tang and its affiliated gangs.

Everyone seems to have turned into a mobile ATM!
