Chapter 1080  : “I’ll Sell You My Life!”

At the moment more than one hundred thousand people from Wind Assault Tower and the three Beijing sects worked together to break out of Beijing, Beijing, which had already quietened down after Class One Hall controlled it, became lively once more.

The Class One Hall members gathered once more.

The twelve Beijing sects, too, soon gained Dream Clouds’ notification. They began gathering at the city gate to the west.

Aside from that, the people from Blood Alliance as well as the top-class elites from Class One Hall hurried to the city gate in preparation to intercept them.

However, Wind Assault Tower had clearly done sufficient preparation during the two days of laying low. Not only did they have all the aces of their sect around, the aces of the other two sects were also around. The aces that Ji Feng had led out of Beijing but died and returned also gathered near the city gate. They had a geographical advantage, the people were on their side, and their timing was also great.

One Emperor stood at the city gate in his purplish-black brocade robe. His entire body was dyed in dark red. He held his sword in hand as he walked out of the city gate, and he intimidated quite a lot of Class One Hall members, making them not dare to take even half a step out of the city gate.

Rumble!

The people who hurried over to Beijing on short notice from several directions to intercept them could not Phantasmal Shadow and the others’ footsteps at all. Tens of thousands of people quickly formed a wave of galloping hooves outside Beijing, and with a mighty momentum, they launched a counterattack at Class One Hall’s members, suppressing them so much that they dared not come out.

“Go into formation!

“Protect the members who have already died once and escort them out of the city!

“Send word to the members in the city! Tell them to hurry over! We don’t have much time! We’ll only wait outside the city for three minutes, and once three minutes is over, the army will immediately begin breaking out!”

Phantasmal Shadow released all sorts of orders in the crowd nonstop. While her voice was not loud, it was firm and energetic. In an instant, it caused countless Wind Assault Tower members in the area to sense the demeanor of the empress who led the former strongest sect in the Chinese server.

“Tower master, Wandering Know-it-all has sent word! He says that there is movement from more than thirty top-class elites at the north of the city, and we are to pay special attention to them!” Wu Kuo tore apart the letter in his hands and said loudly.

Phantasmal Shadow frowned, but she did not immediately give her order. Instead, she looked at a good friend of hers who also received a messenger pigeon at the same time as Wu Kuo did.

Just as she expected, her good friend skimmed through the letter before she handed the letter over. She reminded Phantasmal Shadow with a solemn voice. “The members guarding the city gate have made a report. Dozens of Class One Hall aces have appeared at the city gate to the south.”

Phantasmal Shadow remained calm. “I knew it. Dream Clouds will definitely not allow us to break out so easily. She intends to split up her forces into two and launch a joint attack so that she can suppress us. She will not give One Emperor the chance to break them apart.”

“What should we do?” Wu Kuo knew that the situation was urgent, and he went straight to ask what they should do next.

Phantasmal Shadow said without hesitation, “As long as Evil Emperor didn’t appear, we will have a chance to turn the tides. One Emperor will indeed be very busy, but Wind Assault Tower hasn’t sunk to the point that we can’t face pressure from one single side!”

She stopped talking for one moment, and she looked at One Emperor. She started moving her lips.

He quickly came to an understanding.

One Emperor did not leave immediately, instead, he put on a human skin mask, and in a flash, he moved into the crowd before he disappeared without a trace.

Phantasmal Shadow then went on to summon all the aces in her group, along with the hidden weapons experts from Tang Sect. There were nearly one hundred of them.

“From now on, you will constantly be together. Do not stray from the group. You must be prepared to handle Class One Hall’s counterattack at any moment,” Phantasmal Shadow spoke quickly and firmly.

“Understood!” the group answered loudly.

*****

At that moment, the other protagonist of the battle stood at a high spot of the city gate to the west. She was protected by a group of Class One Hall’s aces. She watched batches of people from Wind Assault Tower and the people from the three Beijing sects walk out of the city in an endless stream. They joined the black mass of people outside the city. She had a slight frown between her eyebrows, and her eyes sparkled.

To Dream Clouds, she had already gained complete victory in this major upheaval in the Chinese server and the change in the power setup. In fact, she was the only winner in the Chinese server!

The only thing that she was dissatisfied with was that while Class One Hall had managed to control the entire Chinese server with help from Wild Wolves and destroy all the resistances, there was still a possibility that Wind Assault Tower could regroup itself. Phantasmal Shadow, One Emperor, and Wandering Know-it-all had influence that she was to not underestimate in different areas.

With Happy’s aid, Wind Chimes had also been sent back to Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion. It was at that moment that Dream Clouds that the four people seemed to still pose as quite the threat to Class One Hall.

Hence, this time, when Wind Assault Tower wanted to break out of the encirclement to leave Beijing, Dream Clouds immediately decided to pay a high degree of attention to them!

She knew that if she wanted to have Class One Hall retain long-lasting control over the Chinese server, she must completely destroy and dissolve the breakout plan Phantasmal Shadow made.

If Phantasmal Shadow and One Emperor led the group to successfully break out, there would still be a period of time where there would be unrest in the Chinese server, and she would also face various setbacks. In fact, they would deliver a message to the entire Chinese world of martial artists—there is a force that can fight against Class One Hall.

And that was what Dream Clouds absolutely did not want to see.

“Hall master, Wind Assault Tower has already mentioned that they will only wait for three minutes before they begin to launch a full-frontal break. There are two minutes left.”

“I got it.” Once Dream Clouds finished speaking, she looked at the woman beside her. It was Peach Blossom.

“Hasn’t your leader written back?”

“He was originally preparing to come back, but he heard that Happy has appeared six miles to the east of the city.”

Peach Blossom’s answer caused Dream Clouds to frown once more. She could not help but blurt out, “Is he playing around or what?”

“Hall Master Dream, you should understand that Wild Wolves has already completed what we have previously agreed upon. Not only have we helped you destroy all who oppose you, the Chinese server has also fallen into your hands. As of now, we’re providing you free aid by continuing to stay here in the Chinese server. I believe that my leader does not want to hear what you just said of him.”

“Hmph.” Dream Clouds ignored Peach Blossom’s partial threat. She just snorted, “It’s clear that Happy wanted to lure Evil Emperor away by going to the east of the city. We have One Emperor and multiple top-class elites over here protecting the enemy. Even if I send all my people over, we might not be able to gain an advantage. Does your leader not know how to differentiate what is important?”

“Is Class One Hall really so incompetent that you can’t do anything without Wild Wolves?” But Peach Blossom was not easy to deal with either. With just one sentence, she managed to render Dream Clouds speechless.

She ordered her subordinates while frustration simmered in her. “Send word. When they set out, we attack!”

******

Miles away from the city were Ji Feng and the people from the two sects. All of them had logged in. They numbered nearly twenty thousand people, and the power they gathered together was not to be underestimated.

While there were quite a number of people the twelve Beijing sects stationed here, they were too scattered, and once Happy sent their forces scattering, it was impossible for them to have the courage to gather together in large numbers. They were afraid of catching Happy’s attention, and the group retreated far away. Forget about Happy, they already did not even dare get close to Ji Feng and his group.

This scene had undeniably given Ji Feng and his group the best chance to reorganize his forces.

“Charge! Brothers and sisters, follow Happy! We’ll run away from this place!”

Ji Feng knew very clearly that there was a high possibility that Evil Emperor would show up. When he saw that most of his people had reorganized themselves, he did not wait any longer. He just called out to his people to rush to the direction where Happy was killing and sent out the signal to break out of the encirclement.

Boom!

Nearly twenty thousand people activated their body fortifications, and with loud shouts, they went charging at their enemies in the distance like tidal waves.

On one front were people who were slaughtered so badly by Happy that they could not gather together to form one presentable army, and on the other front were a group of oppressed forces who now gained a chance to survive while they were in despair, and they charged at the enemy forces with the momentum of a tidal wave.

In less than five minutes, the people from the twelve Beijing sects fled like terrified sheep. They showed no intention of continuing to fight.

In less than five minutes, Ji Feng and his group chased them around for several miles like tigers who charged down the mountains for prey.

Many people chased after the people from the twelve Beijing sects with everything they had to vent all the aggrievance and anger they suffered through over the day.

“Damn you!”

“It’s your fault for trying to kill me!”

“Come on!”

“All of you just run faster than dogs, huh?!”

“Fire arrows! All of you, fire arrows! Kill as many as you can!”

The higher ups in the sect where Ji Feng was were especially angry. When they remembered the fact that they had nearly disbanded, their anger reached to the high heavens, and they chased after the people from the twelve Beijing sects with great motivation.

The only person in the crowd who remained calm and did not descend into frenzied killing was Ji Feng.

He knew very clearly that Evil Emperor might appear at any moment. Once he handed over the position of commander to someone beside him, he quickly rushed to the front and closed up the distance between him and Happy.

“Brother! Brother Happy!”

He used nearly ten minutes before he finally caught up to Happy.

“Ah, it’s the famous Hero of Wisdom. Sect Master Ji, do you have any instructions for me?” Happy did not want to miss even a second killing Dream Clouds’ lapdogs. When he noticed Ji Feng approaching him, he continued killing nonstop while he sent a private message over.

Ji Feng readily got down from his horse. “Brother Happy, I’ve made a fool of myself. I personally destroyed my title as Hero of Wisdom more than a year ago. As for my title as sect master, I’m only a sect master in name. It’s better if you just call me Ji Feng. I wouldn’t dare to give you any instructions either?”

“I don’t mind calling you by whatever you want. Did you come to me for something?” Happy did not waste time exchanging pleasantries with him.

When he heard this, Ji Feng’s expression became stern. “Brother Happy, even though the people behind us are no longer members of my sect, we have spent two years together, and they are as close to me as brothers. I hope that you can help me and point them to a path of survival.”

Ji Feng was very sincere, and he also sounded incredibly humble.

Happy just smiled, and he threw a question back instead of answering, “Aren’t I helping you break out right now? Or are you saying that I’m not doing well enough?”

Ji Feng smiled bitterly. “Brother Happy, you might have helped us with this, but you’ve killed a group of elite Wild Wolves some time ago, and Evil Emperor might be chasing after you from behind. The people from the twelve sects might be retreating and not fighting right now, but they might also be waiting for a suitable chance to launch a counterattack. At that time, it’ll still be difficult for us to escape death.”

When Ji Feng was halfway through his speech, Happy knew that Ji Feng had actually not brought disgrace to his former title, Hero of Wisdom.

He had managed to analyze very quickly that Evil Emperor was definitely chasing after Happy at the back. At the very least, Ji Feng was not completely hopeless.

“Evil Emperor is chasing after me, so what’s the point of you begging me for help?” Happy chuckled and sent a private message.

“Brother Happy, I know that all that happened this time is my fault. I didn’t listen to Wandering Know-it-all and Phantasmal Shadow’s warning and privately led a group of people to make a break and leave Beijing. It was a selfish act, but my sect has never had a foundation of strength that was as great as Wind Assault Tower’s. Over the past two days, more than half of my people have left, and if we continued staying in this situation, we won’t even have the capital to break out.

“Wind Assault Tower is at least famous, and she has one hundred thousand people in Beijing. I don’t, and neither does the other sect. That’s why, I’m begging you, my members have not enjoyed much riches over the past two years with me, and now, I’m only hoping that they can leave Beijing safely and flee from Dream Clouds’ clutches...

“I’m begging you, Happy, as long as you can protect my members and help them break out safely, I’ll sell you my life!”

Ji Feng said his last phrase incredibly quickly, and he sounded incredibly agitated and full of anguish. In fact, Happy could sense that those emotions came from the bottom of his heart.

When he heard the last sentence, Happy could not help but have his expression change. He stopped moving for a moment.

“Me too!”

“I’ll sell you my life too!”

Ji Feng was not the only one who chased after Happy. A group of people who originally belonged under Ji Feng heard their sect master’s shouts and pleas, and they became excited. They shouted the same things, and similar shouts rose and fell. They quickly spread through the entire plains.
