Chapter 994: Unexpected Gains
As many had predicted, after a month of quietness, Happy once again stirred up turmoil in the official forum. With Ao Cangsheng and thousands of Five Poisons Sect disciples dying at the sect’s headquarters, the headquarters was forced to relocate, and the martial world was filled with hidden tensions.
Unlike the destruction of the Tianmo Branch…
The destruction of the Five Poisons Sect’s headquarters meant that Happy had eliminated a major threat to the Central Plains martial world. This news thrilled most players; some even held celebrations and hoped the Five Poisons Sect would completely collapse. This time, few cared about what Happy had obtained from the sect’s warehouse!
Yet, while excited and satisfied, many couldn’t help but turn their attention to Yipin Hall and Blood Alliance. Happy’s aggressive and decisive killing momentum on his first day out of seclusion clearly targeted Yipin Hall and Blood Alliance. Many were watching to see how Yipin Hall and Blood Alliance would respond!
Since the destruction of the Tianmo Branch and one of Blood Alliance’s branches, and now the Five Poisons Sect’s headquarters, Happy had already set off three fires. Yipin Hall and Blood Alliance had no reason to remain silent!
“Happy, you’ve gone a bit too far this time.”
Even Bai Xiaosheng grew restless this time and sent a message right after the incident.
“Really?”
Happy smiled. He didn’t believe Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t see the breakthrough he had chosen.
“It’s good you chose the Five Poisons Sect this time.”
Bai Xiaosheng wrote in his letter, “Previously, when you attacked Yipin Hall and Blood Alliance, you had a valid reason—for your friends… for brotherhood. Although Yipin Hall and Blood Alliance lost face, they still had a way out. Since you didn’t continue afterward, they admitted defeat and endured it. Choosing the Five Poisons Sect this time is also not bad…”
The Five Poisons Sect had always been a subordinate force that Meng Yun never acknowledged. Meng Yun even stated publicly on multiple occasions that she had nothing to do with the Five Poisons Sect to avoid suspicion. This time, by attacking the Five Poisons Sect, even if it hurt Yipin Hall, Meng Yun wouldn’t have any reason to complain—unless she wanted to label herself as a dishonest and despicable person.
“You’re progressing quickly in the realm of darkness. I thought you’d wait until you reached the Wuwei realm before acting. It seems your patience is a bit shallower than I expected.”
Bai Xiaosheng expressed his disapproval subtly.
“Reaching the Wuwei realm still requires continuing to practice Wuwei-style martial arts, which takes even longer… I don’t want to give Meng Yun and Blood Cloak that much time to enjoy themselves.”
At this point, Kai Xin’s tone changed:
“This time at the Five Poisons Sect, I discovered something interesting. I met two people at their main headquarters.”
Bai Xiaosheng reacted quickly!
“Wild Wolf!”
“That’s right.”
Kai Xin replied, “Although they wore human skin masks back then, their aura was extraordinary. They seemed more dangerous to me than Yan Lang and Ao Cangsheng, and they had an aura similar to Yan Lang’s.”
“Those who can pose a threat to you, yet are on good terms with Ao Cangsheng but refuse to help the Five Poisons Sect against you, must undoubtedly be Wild Wolf’s people.” Bai Xiaosheng sighed, “It’s a pity my I Ching has obvious flaws, preventing me from tracking down all information about Tian Sha Xing. Otherwise, I could locate them, find them, and cut off one of Wild Wolf’s claws!”
“It’s okay. At least we now know… and even confirm… who’s behind helping Wild Wolf’s organization.”
Kai Xin was in high spirits now: “Without the Five Poisons Sect as a cover, it’s impossible for Wild Wolf’s organization to continue hiding safely.”
But these words reminded Bai Xiaosheng.
The latter quickly sent a message via carrier pigeon:
“You’re right! If they want to stay hidden in the Central Plains, they need a fixed, secret hiding place, and someone must provide them with unsuspecting people to kill every day! Now, they either have to leave the Central Plains or find another hiding place.”
“Wild Wolf won’t be able to find others to cooperate with in the short term.”
Kai Xin replied with a smile.
“That’s true.”
“After all, Yipin Tang has too many people, and the Blood Alliance even more… Since the Five Poisons Sect has been able to help them hide for so long, Wild Wolf’s organization can only continue to work with them.”
Bai Xiaosheng, guessing that Wild Wolf’s experts might be hiding in other branches of the Five Poisons Sect, replied even faster: “We must find them and kill them!”
“It’s a shame you just reminded me to retreat to the Wu Wei realm… I think it makes sense.” Kai Xin suddenly replied like that.
After a long silence, Bai Xiaosheng replied helplessly, “Alright. Previously, dealing with the Five Poisons Sect was your choice. Since this is my decision now, it’s only natural you want something from me. What do you need me to do?”
“It’s simple. I have a few friends who haven’t been having a good time lately. I hope you can help me by keeping in touch with them from time to time and taking care of them.” After pondering for a moment, Kai Xin replied, “You know, I’m not in a position to help anyone right now.”
“No problem.”
Bai Xiaosheng said, “I’ll send you the addresses of several Wudu Sect branches near Yangzhou right now… Go to where Ao Cangsheng is heading.”
“No problem.”
“But be careful yourself,” Bai Xiaosheng warned. “Although Meng Yun won’t admit to the Wudu Sect, if you keep attacking her, she won’t stay idle. She might secretly help or even provoke a counterattack from the Wild Wolf experts. There’s nothing I can do to assist you in that regard.”
“The Wild Wolf Organization’s target is Fengling. It doesn’t matter if I die once or twice… Besides, there’s still a needle stuck in me that’s really annoying. If I can die once, it would be a relief.”
“Alright! Be careful in everything, and contact me anytime if anything happens!”
After ending the message exchange, Kai Xin obtained the relevant information about Ao Cangsheng…
Since the main headquarters of the Wudu Sect in Yangzhou was destroyed, Ao Cangsheng quickly led his men to a nearby branch in Zhenjiang, not far from their current location.
…
Half an hour later!
“This guy’s crazy!!”
Meng Yun was furious at the main headquarters of Yipin Tang in the capital, with the core members of Yipin Tang also looking grim.
It was all because of a message sent by Ao Cangsheng to Meng Yun via carrier pigeon!
Shortly after the destruction of the Wudu Sect’s headquarters in Yangzhou, thousands of its members were attacked by Kai Xin during the relocation, resulting in over a thousand deaths. Later, the Zhenjiang branch was also attacked, causing hundreds of casualties. The Wudu Sect members rushed away from Zhenjiang overnight and headed to several nearby branches.
So far, the Wudu Sect had lost two branches, over three thousand of its disciples, and suffered immense material losses!
The Wudu Sect was severely weakened!
Yet Kai Xin seemed determined not to stop. After destroying Zhenjiang, he left immediately and disappeared again…
But at this moment, almost all Wudu Sect disciples felt threatened. The leaders of various branches gathered all the supplies in the warehouses, ready to abandon their branches and flee at any moment.
The Wudu Sect!
Was now in a precarious situation.
Whoosh!!
After venting her anger, Meng Yun stood up resolutely and ordered coldly, “Immediately mobilize the members of the Secret Alliance and head south to assist the Wudu Sect. Do whatever it takes to crush Kai Xin’s momentum!”
“At the same time, contact the Blood Alliance right away! Although Yipin Tang can’t get involved directly, the Blood Alliance can act. Have them immediately assemble their elite forces! I don’t want to hear news of a third Wudu Sect branch being destroyed!!”
“Now!!!”
All the leaders obeyed.
Meng Yun looked down at the group of high-ranking members leaving in haste, her eyes still burning with an unquenchable flame. In fact, she had anticipated this day long ago. What truly angered and worried her wasn’t the successive destruction of the Five Poisons Sect’s branches, but the timing of Kaixin’s actions… Just as the Five Poisons Sect was trying to conceal the whereabouts of the Wolf Master, the destruction of its branches made it difficult to hide the Wolf Master’s location any longer. Kaixin’s actions were not only out of revenge but likely also because he had guessed the relationship between the Five Poisons Sect and the Wolf Organization, which is why he pursued them relentlessly. Meng Yun feared that if the collaboration between the Wolf Organization and the Five Poisons Sect were exposed, it would be hard for her to find a foothold in the vast Central Plains! The survival of the Five Poisons Sect now meant the survival of the First-Class Hall! How could Meng Yun not be furious?! “Kaixin…” Meng Yun gritted her teeth. “This is your fault.” Unaware that after destroying the Five Poisons Sect’s branch in Zhenjiang, Kaixin encountered two people on his way out of the city. “Boss Kaixin!” “Boss Kaixin!” Surprised by these calls, Kaixin frowned as he glanced at the two riders approaching from behind. It was the same two men he had met outside the Five Poisons Sect’s main headquarters in Yangzhou. Kaixin remembered how they had used a vicious substance called “Bone-Eroding Powder” to kill a group of senior poisonous insects belonging to the Five Poisons Sect through self-harm, provoking a group of Five Poisons Sect disciples to go to the Martial Temple to kill them again and again. It was then that Kaixin finally had the chance to observe the two closely. They were relatively young, their faces slightly pale, but their eyes were very sharp. It was precisely because he remembered their ruthless methods against the Five Poisons Sect that Kaixin stopped. “What’s the matter?” “Boss Kaixin, we just wanted to come up and thank you!” The two rushed up, looking excited. Kaixin smiled. “It seems you have a deep grudge against the Five Poisons Sect.” “Of course!” “We hate them to the core!” “Those bastards from the Five Poisons Sect—just because we spoke to them a few times, they killed us four times in two months, twice a month, then ignored us and continued killing us in the next month, determined not to let us live or thrive. They even said they wanted us to suffer endlessly… I wish I could kill each of them many times over.” “…” After listening silently to one of them speak, Kaixin said, “You can go back now and train hard. The Five Poisons Sect will no longer exist in the Central Plains for long!” With that, he prepared to leave.
At that moment, the next words spoken by the two of them stopped him in his tracks!
