Blood Robes had instantly lost. At the moment he was flung away, Dream Clouds, who had been remaining calm all this while, had a slightly surprised look on her face. But soon, she became calm again.

When she faced Ji Feng and Silver Wolf as well as his party's wary gazes, Dream Clouds spoke again. She spoke slowly, and it was rhythmic and charming.

“Very good, Silver Wolf, Bar, Thunder, and Knife. It's no wonder why Happy had the four of you stay here to guard Lovely Land's headquarters. There's a reason behind why Happy values the four of you so much, I see.” Dream Clouds spoke very slowly. Even though the tides had turned against her, she gave the others an increasingly great pressure, and it was as if she still controlled the situation.

Silver Wolf and his party could not quite sense that Dream Clouds was engaging them in psychological warfare, but Ji Feng knew it clearly. He laughed and broke the gloomy and frozen atmosphere. “Our sect master didn't make a wrong judgment about you either. He knew that you were just waiting for all our elites to leave, even though you have been hiding yourself all this while. He said that you only dared to cause trouble when most of us are gone, so he ordered us to stay in the headquarters to welcome you.”

Dream Clouds' expression stiffened.

Ji Feng was indeed the Hero of Wisdom.

She had thought about everything she could to use Sunflower Manual's aura and qi to create an aggressive presence so that she could make them feel danger, as if their positions of power had changed.

But with just a few sentences, Ji Feng attacked her where it hurt. He revealed all the embarrassing weaknesses in Class One Hall right by saying that while Class One Hall had an astonishing might, now, they were just pitiful bugs that were hunted down by Lovely Land. They did not even dare to show themselves and only had the courage to show up when Happy left the Chinese plains.

And just as Ji Feng thought would happen, the people in the headquarters were originally intimidated by Dream Clouds' flying needles, but now, they put on enlightened and disdainful expressions.

“If that's the case, I'd like to see your skills, Vice Sect Master Ji!” Dream Clouds knew that her plan had failed, so she decided not to waste her breath. She wanted to use her strength to prove her might as well as the power Class One Hall possessed.

Cling! Cling! Cling! Cling!

Silver Wolf stood quietly on the stairs and brandished his sword with just one hand.

Many people quickly noticed that the clear sounds of metal clashing against each other suddenly rose in front of the calm air in front of Silver Wolf. At the same time, sparks that only appeared for a short while popped up as well.

While Silver Wolf brandished his sword with one hand, his expression did not change. His movements were smooth and relaxed.

Cling! Cling!

Silver needles shining with an intimidating light were sent flying to the stone qilin. They formed a straight line.

The people inside and outside Lovely Land were all great players in the Chinese plains. They could already tell that Silver Wolf had managed to block a row of flying needles.

“Hall Master Dream, is that all you can do?” Ji Feng's mocking words rose again. “You have Dongfang Bubai's legacy, but you still use those tricks? Tsk tsk, how embarrassing.”

Dream Clouds' expression turned cold, but she ignored Ji Feng's mocking words. She only stared at Silver Wolf while she enunciated her words clearly.

“As expected of the Desert Wolf.”

The Desert Wolf was a title he gained from the people in the game after he returned from the desert. However, after the tournament in Lovely Land, that title became even more prominently attached to him.

“You praise me too much.” Silver Wolf's expression did not change. He spoke calmly. “Hall Master Dream, you're very strong too, but unfortunately, you still aren't my party's opponent. You should leave.”

“…Oh?”

Dream Clouds answered faintly, but she did not move in the slightest.

Silver Wolf remained holding his sword. “Wandering Know-it-all has said that while your Sunflower Manual is legitimate, you have only started practicing it recently. You haven't reached the level of someone in the dao of heaven. So, you won't be able to break our Four Matchless Sword Formation. You aren't our opponent.”

Dream Clouds fell silent.

Silver Wolf was right.

Wandering Know-it-all had been paying attention to everything in the area closely. There was plenty of information that would not be able to escape from his eyes.

Evil Emperor might have given her Sunflower Manual, but it had only been a while since she practiced it, and since the time was too short, she would not be able to truly push it to a truly high level. As of current, she could only use the flying needles that Dongfang Bubai used to kill thousands of people.

The true Sunflower Manual's moves and power was stronger than the incomplete version that Dongfang Bubai released into the world, and it would be very intimidating to normal elites.

But she was not strong enough yet. Silver Wolf noticed this, so the four of them set up their formation and were relaxed as they faced Dream Clouds.

However, Dream Clouds did not linger too long on this problem. Since she was already here, it meant that she was confident she could deal a heavy blow on Lovely Land.

Her topic of conversation changed.

“Since you're here, you might as well come out. You're the tower master of Wind Assault Tower. How long are you going to stay hidden?”

Right before everyone's faces, Dream Clouds' awe-inspiring voice spread through Lovely Land.

“Come out!”

In the next moment, Phantasmal Shadow's voice came out from Lovely Land's headquarters.

“Hall Master Dream, that's where you're wrong. When it comes to hiding, I can't compare to you. You didn't go out of the city for a few months. Those who don't know you would think that you're still a virgin who is ready to be married.”

Phantasmal Shadow referred to her by Hall Master Dream and a virgin who was ready to be married, and those words caused her skin to break out into goosebumps.

But Dream Clouds did not become angry. She only watched quietly as a group of people walked out of Lovely Land's headquarters. Leading the group was Phantasmal Shadow, and Dream Clouds spoke with a cold tone, “Tower Master Shadow, you're finally willing to come out?”

She had been in isolated training for a few months. When she faced Phantasmal Shadow again, they felt as if a lifetime had passed. At the same time, the hatred in them for each other stirred up, and their eyes turned slightly red.

These two women had been competing against each other after they entered the game, and they were once women who were the strongest in the Chinese plains.

Due to Dream Clouds' ambition, Phantasmal Shadow's Wind Assault Tower had nearly been destroyed.

And because of Phantasmal Shadow, the Class One Hall Dream Clouds had worked hard in managing descended into an even more gloomy state. Its glory and might were no longer around.

Now, the enemies met each other again, and their eyes shone in anger.

For a period of time, hostility filled the air, and a tense atmosphere appeared, as if they were about to draw their weapons and fight.

“My apologies, Vice Sect Master Ji. I ordered my subordinates to deal with a few disobedient sects in Beijing just now, and that's why we're late. I hope you won't blame us.”

Phantasmal Shadow ignored Dream Clouds' mocking words and turned to Ji Feng to say those words.

Ji Feng quickly answered in a humble manner, “Tower Master, you're too polite. I thank all the members of Lovely Land to thank you for helping us.”

“It's what we should do. If Sect Master Happy hadn't helped us, Wind Assault Tower would have disappeared. Right now, evil people came forward to provoke Lovely Land. If we don't help you, we would end up as jokes of the world,” Phantasmal Shadow answered in the manner of a true heroine.

Once she said this, she changed the topic. “Since Hall Master Tower is determined to fight in the world of wanderers again, why don't you let Wind Assault Tower handle this fight?”

“Oh?”

Ji Feng was stunned. He had managed to tell that Phantasmal Shadow wanted to fight against Dream Clouds.

Right now, Dream Clouds' strength had increased by leaps and bounds, and there were only a few in the world who could be her match. Right now, the only people guarding Lovely Land who could stand up against her were Silver Wolf and his party, and that was because of their Four Matchless Sword Formation.

“Don't worry, Vice Sect Master Ji. If we fail, it would just be because I am not strong enough. I will not embarrass Lovely Land.”

“Tower Master, you speak too severely. But please, go on ahead.”

When he heard Phantasmal Shadow speaking in such a manner, Ji Feng had to push down the puzzlement in his heart and give up the battlefield.

“Hall Master Dream, please.”

Phantasmal Shadow did not care about the powerful presence that Dream Clouds released. She raised her hand gently and walked down the stairs without hesitation to head to the empty square outside the headquarters.

From the moment Dream Clouds made that suggestion, she frowned. She stared at her expression intensely, not wanting to miss a single detail.

She knew that Phantasmal Shadow was even more cautious than she was. She was someone who would look ten steps ahead with every step she took.

This time, even after she saw her skills, she still asked to fight against her. If that were the case, then she must have some sort of trump card.

She looked around, and Dream Clouds' pupils shrank a little.

The people beside Phantasmal Shadow were all the supreme-class elites who were in charge of guarding the major areas in the south. All of them were people who had gained their fame for years.

There were more than ten of them, and each other of them had a mature squad made of supreme-class elites supporting them.

All of them had appeared here. Dream Clouds swiftly noticed the meaning behind this.

She looked at Phantasmal Shadow, and her gaze became even more solemn.

This group of people had all gathered at Lovely Land's headquarters. Phantasmal Shadow might have completely given up on guarding the south and intended to not rule over the south for the time being so that she could ensure Lovely Land's headquarters' safety in the north.

'This woman!'

Dream Clouds' expression turned slightly stiff. Then, she made a discreet gesture to the people behind her.

Barren Murderer saw this, and he quietly retreated into the crowd.

At the moment Phantasmal Shadow stated that she wanted to take down Dream Clouds, Ji Feng placed his attention on the large number of Class One Hall members and foreign players outside the headquarters, since he had Silver Wolf and his party protecting him.

Naturally, he saw what Barren Murderer did.

Without a word, he watched Barren Murderer seep into the crowd. Then, with his hands behind his back, Ji Feng moved his hands a little.

One person had his expression change slightly in the headquarters, and he entered the crowd discreetly.

When Phantasmal Shadow noticed Dream Clouds' actions, she no longer hesitated. She drew a golden whip from her waist.

Crack!

With a simple swing, the golden whip let out a clear sonic boom in the air. Then, like an arrow, it charged to the stone qilin in a manner that did not obey the laws of physics.

Cling! Cling! Cling! Cling!

Out of the blue, a whip shadow appeared in the shape of a ring, and around it were a dense wave of sparks.

Phantasmal Shadow managed to block all the fine silver needles. She did not miss even a single one.

Whip shadows whistled.

Like golden dragons, they pounced on Dream Clouds fiercely.

She frowned. Then, she charged forward with a light tap from the stone qilin.

Boom!

The stone qilin collapsed when the sound rose.

Phantasmal Shadow did not stop moving. She continued chasing after Dream Clouds.

These two women went further away as they fought.

The elites from Wind Assault Tower were not worried about Phantasmal Shadow's safety. They just watched the women leave.

At that moment, the near one hundred thousand people from Class One Hall became restless, and they rushed forward like a black wave.

Under Ji Feng and the others' surprised gazes, the people Dream Clouds brought out spread out and formed a murderous formation. It was one with a sharp end.

A low horn blare rose from the formation.

A grave and solemn atmosphere rose, as if they were really at war. That atmosphere swiftly spread through Lovely Land's headquarters.

When he saw this, Ji Feng's calm expression finally changed a little to morph into surprise.

“It's the battle formation of the Yellow River!”

When they heard this, the Lovely Land members and Wind Assault Tower members behind him had their expressions change to surprise.

The battle formation of the Yellow River was a product that only appeared briefly during a few wars involving the nation. It was a major formation that could only be formed with tens of thousands of people.

It was rumored that when it was formed, the formation would contain the power of the sect protecting formations of the major sects in the world of martial artists.

But since too many people and too many manuals of the formation were required, it had always been considered a very worthless existence.

Dream Clouds had actually brought the battle formation of the Yellow River here, and Ji Feng as well as the others did not expect this.
