Sword Among Us

Chapter 728: Dragon Sect

“Towering Palace offers their gift!”

Once the people from Towering Palace came, clear disorder and unrest appeared outside the branch. Some of the sects quickly hid themselves, and temporary calm returned to the situation.

Even though the setting up of Mu Clan’s branch made everyone believe that Towering Palace was in a bad situation, Towering Palace was still a giant that they could not hope to touch.

They did not dare to get involved in the conflict!

Besides, Towering Palace had brought out a group of elites, and Musical Note even personally led the team. Their lineup was not shabby, and quite a number of sects sensed that things were about to become chaotic.

“I see, so you have come over here personally, Palace Master Music. I suppose I should show my respect.”

A clear and loud voice came from the branch and traveled into the ears of all those outside. The discussions raging outside instantly calmed down.

Whoosh!

All gazes were gathered on a group of people who walked out of the branch with a majestic gait.

The person leading the group had an incomplete silver mask covering his face. There was an indescribably mighty air about him when he stood straight, and he instantly gathered all the people’s gazes.

“People said that you are the one personally managing the branch Mu Clan set up here in Yangzhou. I didn’t believe it, but it seems it is real. I wonder what you have to say about coming to Yangzhou.”

There was slight anger on Musical Note’s face.

Mu Clan’s act of setting up a branch in Yangzhou undoubtedly stuck a bone in Towering Palace’s throat. There was no way they would not feel uncomfortable about this.

When Silver Wolf heard her, his expression remained calm, and he stayed as cold and unaffected as ever.

“Mu Clan’s decisions and arrangements have always been made by the clan masters, and we as subordinates have never interfered with them.”

“Are you saying that it’s Happy’s order that you build your sect here in Yangzhou?” Musical Note became a little angry.

Quite a number of people in the crowd pitied her.

After all, Mu Clan was growing stronger day by day, and not too long ago, Clear Music had resigned from her spot as the palace master because she had offended Mu Clan. Clearly, they were on the weaker side in the negotiations.

When the crowd saw how aggressive Mu Clan’s Silver Wolf was and how pitiful Musical Note looked, they naturally felt that they should help her because things were unfair for her.

“Two ladies are leading Towering Palace, and things are hard for them already. MuClan, why must you make things so difficult?”

“That’s right!”

Silver Wolf said nothing. He looked with a calm expression into Musical Note and Clear Music’s eyes. “No one has any right to know Mu Clan’s decisions or interfere with them. This is something that you and your sister do not seem to understand.”

“What do you mean?”

“There’s no meaning to it. I’m only reminding both of you that not too long ago, Snow Spirit, the disciple of Goryeo’s Bright Sword Sect, ordered her subordinates to stir up the hatred for my clan master, Happy, at Yangzhou City so that she could gain benefits.

“Once my clan master saw through it, he ordered us to chase after her, and he also told Snow Spirit as well as her subordinates that they were to leave China within twenty-four hours. This is something that you should remember, yes?”

When he finished speaking, the people in the area were confused by what they heard.

“What does this have to do with you building a branch in Yangzhou?”

The two women’s expressions changed. They did not expect that Silver Wolf would mention their dealings in public.

Silver Wolf smiled faintly. “Indeed, there’s no relationship between the two... but why did your palace interfere with the grudge between my clan master and Snow Spirit? Not only did you provide a hiding place for Mu Clan’s enemy, you also pleaded for mercy for that sinister Goryeon woman. I’d like to ask just what sort of relationship you have with her.”

“She is a business partner. Since she asked us for a favor, we could only try to plead for mercy for her.”

“That’s not something for you to decide. How should we know that she was not sent by your palace in order to harm my clan master?” Silver Wolf’s expression was cold. “Besides, the matter with Three Dragons Guild has still not ended. Right now, you’re trying to plead for mercy for an assassin. Don’t you think the situation is very ludicrous?”

Silence fell among the people.

Musical Note and Clear Music instantly found their words stuck in their throats.

Behind them, Shangguan Lian, Hai Dongqing, Vast Heaven, Grim Green, and the others had surprised looks. “Three Dragons Guild?”

“I thought that matter was finished?”

It was very clear that they had never heard of it before.

They thought that the Music sisters had already ended the conflict with Mu Clan.

Silver Wolf cast a glance at the surprised expressions among the higher ups of Towering Palace before he said, “It seems like you two either forgot plenty of matters or you treat our requests as nothing but nonsense.

“You personally promised that you will capture the mastermind behind Three Dragons Guild and hand him over to Mu Clan for us to deal with him so this matter would come to an end.

“Nothing was resolved for now, and you have already decided to interfere with Mu Clan’s matters again. Do you think that we would not dare attack you?”

“The people from Three Dragons Guild have stopped appearing in the Chinese server!” Clear Music walked out from the crowd and raised her voice with anger on her face. “How am I supposed to be responsible for this?!”

When she finished speaking, regardless of whether it was Shangguan Lian, Hai Dongqing, the other elites in Towering Palace, or the various great players from the other sects around the branch, all of them sucked in sharp breaths.

They now had a vague idea of the reason why Mu Clan decided to enter Yangzhou.

Before one problem ended, another rose.

Towering Palace had not even finished dealing with the slew of unfinished business that they had before rushing to the fore and taking the initiative to place their necks under Mu Clan’s blades.

If they did not cut down Towering Palace, who should they cut down?

There was only one word to describe them: Nosy!

Quite a number of people in the crowd had gone through the battle at the pleasure boat, and they knew that there were indeed people from Goryeo’s Bright Sword Sect at that time. Clear Music’s words also indirectly verified that she had pleaded for mercy.

Many of the people who originally thought that the situation was unfair for Towering Palace instantly fell silent.

The palace had provided protection for the enemy of Mu Clan’s master, and this alone was enough for Happy to start a fight with Towering Palace.

Even the people from Dragon Sect looked at each other at a loss when they heard it. They did not know what they should do now.

“How did these two reckless women push Towering Palace into the ranks of the four top-class sects in China?”

The gentle-looking middle-aged man had a sentimental look on his face while he shook his head discreetly.

If Happy were in the area, he would definitely say, “In my previous life, there was no Towering Palace in the Chinese server. There were also no Music sisters.”

Those within Towering Palace knew that all of it was because of a change in attitude.

Once Towering Palace gained increasingly dazzling achievements and status, Clear Music lost her initial caution and stopped making careful advances step by step. She was not as experienced as Dream Clouds, who knew when to make the most correct decisions no matter what the situation was and what she needed the most in each situation.

The glory of being the leader of one of the four top-class sects had resulted in Clear Music forgetting some things.

Musical Note had also not completely grown out of her sister’s wings and become independent.

There were two masters in one palace, and at that moment, Towering Palace was in a very dangerous situation.

The young man from Dragon Sect who had been silent all for a while suddenly chuckled. “Boss, before we came here, I’ve been thinking about whether a safe environment or a chaotic environment will be the best for Dragon Sect’s growth in China. Now, I’ve come to my answer.”
