Chapter 754 - Start All Over Again, Sadness

Chapter 754: Start All Over Again, Sadness

At the moment Towering Palace released the order to withdraw all their forces and stop attacking, the people in Mu Clan’s branch released a long breath of relief, but the people still felt as if there was a heavy weight pushing down on their chests, and it was so heavy that they had a hard time breathing.

The strange firearm that shot out from the crowd caused one of the walls to collapse. They lost a lot of people at the front yard, and the backyard was also caught in its most dangerous situation.

Two sides were in a state of emergency!

The manpower from Mu Clan’s branch had been reduced to less than two thousand!

Besides, Wind Chimes, who had always occupied a very important position in this battle, also died in here.

Even though her final Soul Breaking Song killed nearly two thousand enemies, right now, most of the people in Mu Clan’s branch were injured, and they lost a lot of their elites. It was already very difficult for them to fight against Towering Palace and Class One Hall’s next wave of attacks.

Mu Clan’s branch will have a hard time escaping this disaster.

Each person was already ready for the worst outcome.

They will die with the branch.

Before the battle ended, they will try to kill as many enemies as possible!

*****

“Palace master, we’ve compiled the list of casualties and injured.” During the cease fire, while they waited for Grim Green, Vast Speaker, and the others to come over from Guanlin Temple, Clear Music received the list of casualties from the war from a female elder.

The list was terrifying to behold.

The Dragon Sect elites had used up more than thirty Illusion Life and Death Pills. Along with the pills Towering Palace used, Towering Palace had used up almost half their stock...

And they had taken almost half a year to accumulate their number of Illusion Life and Death Pills.

Also, Towering Palace lost nearly fourteen thousand men!

They had also lost nearly ten thousand pieces of equipment. The equipment they dropped had all automatically gone into the branch’s storage.

While Towering Palace can afford to lose that amount of equipment, losing good three-echelon or four-echelon equipment made even Clear Music feel her heart tremble when she saw the list.

She had still thought about war in far too simple terms.

Fighting against an enemy’s branch in their territory was in itself an invasion. The system never encouraged it, which was why they gave quite a lot of benefits and support for the weaker party.

Automatically retrieving the equipment their enemies dropped was one of them!

This time, they lost a large group of men, and they also used up a lot of equipment, and this was enough to make Towering Palace squeeze out tens of billions of taels of silver from their storage to compensate for the lost masterpieces and refined masterpieces.

It was indeed not easy to fund a war of a larger scale.

Clear Music had even begun estimating just how many people she lost among the tens of thousands of people at the south of the coastal area.

When she thought about this in depth, she could not help but shudder!

She had lost nearly thirty thousand people...

There were also more Towering Palace members who were continuously sacrificed because of the battle against Mu Clan, and the Towering Palace members at the south of the coastal area were in a worse situation!

Right now, the entire southern part of the coastal area had fallen.

Happy was already headed to Yangzhou City.

Clear Music said nothing. She sucked in a deep breath, and she cast a glance at Mu Clan’s branch, which had now become severely damaged and had become much less imposing, but it was very hard for her to become excited.

Class One Hall had sacrificed nearly all two thousand of their men.

All Dragon Sect elites had died once.

Even though Towering Palace had an endless stream of people coming to join the battle because of their advantage at the headquarters. However, the losses they suffered were a little too devastating. Every person who was sacrificed will at least need to be compensated with more than one hundred thousand contribution points...

She fell silent.

Inside Mu Clan’s branch, Little North and his group arrived in front of the collapsed ceremonial hall with complicated gazes and heavy hearts. Silver Wolf sat in front of the stairs with a dazed expression and stared at the snow white robe that had yet to disappear.

“Big Brother Silver Wolf...”

He originally wanted to say something, but when he saw how Silver Wolf acted, the words that were already on Little North’s tongue died away.

Silver Wolf suddenly spoke as if he was talking to himself, “Little North, do you know about Nine Yin Blocked Pulses?”

“Huh...?” Little North exchanged a questioning glance with the people around him, and all of them had confused expressions on their faces.

“It’s a unique body constitution,” Silver Wolf said faintly, “Once she dies and Nine Yin Blocked Pulses is revived, it will get rid of all the martial artists the person has, and only their innate attributes will be left.”

When they heard this, Little North and his group were stunned. Then, they understood what he meant, and their eyes turned red. “Are you saying that Wind Chimes...?”

“It’s the same as her having her martial artists destroyed. Aside from keeping her innate attributes, she will have to do everything again.” There was a deeply self-deprecating and guilty look on Silver Wolf’s face. “That stupid girl... I told her not to bother about us! It’s so much harder for her to train normal martial arts when she’s already at Life and Death Realm! I—”

Before he finished speaking, the Mu Clan members around him were already shocked.

This was the first time they heard this news! Judging by what Silver Wolf said, if Wind Chimes wanted to recover to her current strength, she might need a few months or even half a year...

‘What the heck?!’

“Towering Palace, those bastards!” Little North gasped and stared at the black mass of enemies outside with red-rimmed eyes. “Even if it’s just for Wind Chimes, we must absolutely destroy Towering Palace! We have to use all of Towering Palace and Class One Hall to help Wind Chimes vent her hate!”

He stopped talking for a moment before he brought out a messenger pigeon, looking as if it was very difficult for him to get rid of his anger. “No, I can’t accept this. I must tell our boss to hurry up. We can’t let those Towering Palace bastards have their wish—”

“Don’t rush him.” Silver Wolf shook his head and stopped him. “Happy is too far away, and he’ll need a few hours before he can get here. We won’t be able to last until then.”

They no longer had Wind Chimes, and they had also lost a large group of elites. It was already impossible for them to continue fighting even if they wanted to.

“But—” Little North still wanted to say something, but he saw Silver Wolf get up quickly, and the pained expression on his face was gone. He stared at the crowd outside with a cold glare on his face.

“We have one more way...”

The people around him had puzzled expressions appear on their faces.

They sensed a hint of determination and killing intent from Silver Wolf’s words, and they gained a new drive.

Silver Wolf swept his gaze over the silent crowd outside.

Right now, the world had become bright.

The streets were full of people, and even the roofs were full of people.

Wherever he looked, there was only people!

“Judging by the looks, Towering Palace is thinking about using another batch of Illusion Life and Death Pills after their elites arrive for a final general charge.”

Silver Wolf gradually returned to his former callousness. However, the killing intent in his eyes became incredibly strong and clear.

“Instead of sitting around here waiting for our deaths, it will be better to charge out before their elites arrive!”

The people were stunned silent for a short moment, but their eyes soon lit up.

“That’s right! We’ll slaughter our way out!”

“We’ve been defending for so long, and I’ve wanted to fight against those bastards outside for a long time!”

The Mu Clan members near Silver Wolf gathered around him when they heard this, and they agreed as well as supported his decision!

“They will need some time before they can head here from Guanlin Temple. If we’re lucky, we might be able to get out of Yangzhou City!”

“Haha!”

“If we can really slaughter our way out, Towering Palace and Class One Hall will definitely have their dignity ruined.”

“Big Brother Silver Wolf, give the order! We’ll do as you said!”

Silver Wolf nodded in determination. “We can’t afford to waste time! Send word, bring all the resources in the branch, and we’ll all charge out from the front and back!”
