Chapter 1098: Evil Emperor Is Released from Prison

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

In the prison belonging to the Ministry of Punishment in Beijing, heavy shackles and chains dragged on the ground, creating loud and piercing clanging sounds. Evil King walked slowly among the prisoners with a face livid with rage.

When he walked out of his cell, he felt as if a century had passed. He noticed a few other imprisoned players silently casting him strange and thought-provoking gazes, and his expression became even more sour. He wanted to immediately kill them to silence them, destroy their corpses to hide the evidence of his shame, and leave this accursed place.

Unfortunately, his qi was sealed, and his hands and feet were bound by shackles that weighed heavily on him. Even the Moksha Realm NPC guards beside him, who were in charge of escorting him, could push him down on the ground with just one finger.

“Hiss…”

At the moment the main door to the prison in the Ministry of Punishment opened, a strong ray of light shot in, and the group of prisoners all used their hands to cover their eyes. At the same time, they also had delight appear on their faces.

“Prisoner Wang Erlong, your sentence is over. You can come out now.

“Prisoner Zhao Jun, your sentence is over. You can come out now.

Evil Emperor was fifth in line.

“Prisoner Evil Emperor!”

The NPC guards did not care about who had a great reputation in World of Martial Arts. This was the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and there were plenty of great martial artists here. They could lock up whoever dared to cause trouble under the eyes of the imperial court or even kill them on the spot.

Hence, even if Evil Emperor enjoyed the title of the strongest in the world, the NPC guards were not cordial to him or took extra care of him.

“Your sentence is over. You can come out now.”

Evil Emperor was not afraid of the guards’ fierce gaze. He slowly took two steps forward and allowed the guards to help him remove the shackles on his feet and hands.

“I hope I don’t see you again in prison, or else, your sentence will be prolonged by another day, understand?”

The accumulation of might over a prolonged period of time had caused the guards to be able to put up an imposing presence out of sheer habit. Evil Emperor and the others had not had their qi unlocked either, and once the group of guards turned around and left, they noticed that the entrance of the Ministry of Punishment was just nearby. There were six Inaction Realm guards standing nearby, and they stared at the group with great hostility in their eyes.

“Let’s go…”

“Let’s go.”

Aside from Evil Emperor, the other prisoners did not dare say even a single word during the entire time they were released. It was only at that moment that they dared look at each other and leave the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Evil Emperor was the last to leave the prison.

When he got out, he saw a few figures run into the restaurants nearby, and some of them craned their heads to look at them when they were in the crowd. They were all people who were imprisoned with him, and no one knew whether they were reminiscing the time they spent in jail with Evil Emperor.

At the moment he left the Ministry of Punishment, his sealed acupressure points were automatically opened, and waves of qi slowly filled up his limbs before it started circulating in him.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sound of air being pushed rose, and black shadows shot in front of Evil Emperor from the crowd nearby. There were a total of forty-seven people who came over. Flame Wolf and Peach Blossom led the team, and they stood with their backs straight around Evil Emperor.

“Leader!”

Their voices sounded dark, but firm and domineering.

The imposing presence among this group of top-class elites instantly intimidated the crowd surrounding them that they fell absolutely silent. Countless gazes were filled with shock and fear as they surveyed this group of people.

Evil Emperor initially said nothing. It was only when Flame Wolf and the others showed up that Evil Emperor’s expression became slightly better.

Peach Blossom took one step forward.

Evil Emperor understood why she did this. He picked up the medicinal pill that was the size of a longan from Peach Blossom’s hands and tossed it into his mouth without even looking at it. Then, he asked, “Are all preparations made?”

Flame Wolf nodded. “Based on your instructions, Class One Hall, Blood Alliance, and the people in the sects under Dream Clouds’ hands have all set out. There are four hundred thousand people gathered outside the city, and there are fewer than fifty thousand people left in Beijing.”

“Let’s go,” Evil Emperor said those two words faintly.

*****

“He’s here!”

“Evil Emperor has been released from prison, hurry and notify—”

“Those are the people from Wild Wolves! Isn’t Class One Hall being too flashy? They even came forth to escort him? Why does this feel like the moment before a life and death gamble in a casino?”

Evil Emperor was escorted while he was surrounded by Wild Wolves and Class One Hall elites. The group jumped on their horses and forced the crowd to make way for them on the busy streets of Beijing as their horses galloped forth. They rushed outside the city.

This news soon spread through all of Beijing.

*****

Whoosh!

Numerous torches burned brightly under the dark sky outside Beijing.

Under those torches were a large group of people. They stood close to each other, and hundreds of thousands of people surrounded all of Beijing, but they were incredibly quiet. The scene was so magnificent that it was scary, so much so that many people who originally wanted to go out of the city stopped moving when they saw the lineup outside.

Rumble! Rumble!

Evil Emperor, Wild Wolves, and the elites from Class One Hall all rode out of the city.

Even Dream Clouds, who usually did not show up in her army, sat on her horse with a stern expression. Her gaze was sharp. Once she got out of the city, she surveyed the area. More than two hundred top-class elites with extraordinary presences quietly rode out from the sides of the army and surrounded Dream Clouds.

“We’ve been nursing this aggrievance for a week…”

When Dream Clouds said these words, her tone was dark, and she instantly stirred up the hearts of the countless members around her.

Many people lowered their heads and gritted their teeth.

The silence lasted for a few seconds.

Dream Clouds raised her head, and when she spoke again, her voice was so loud that all the people within a circular area of one-third of a mile could hear her clearly. “Today, we will get rid of this humiliation we suffered!”

Her words were simple, but she still managed to state what Dream Clouds, Class One Hall, and all the affiliated forces wanted to do. Soon, countless people responded to her call.

Shouts and roars spread through the plains.

“RIDE FORTH!”

Shi Huasheng released a roar that sounded like a lion’s under the night sky, and thunderous sounds instantly rose on the ground outside Beijing.

Hundreds of thousands of people headed to Ghost’s Domaina at the same time.

The ground trembled, and galloping sounds could be heard surging to the clouds.

Many players on the city walls saw the dense wave of torches outside the city quickly moving in a zig-zagging motion. They formed a thick fire dragon that soon stretched out to the horizon.

A lot of them sucked in sharp breaths.

Multiple snow-white messenger pigeons rose from the city gate, and they flew to the night sky.

*****

As the ground trembled from the distance, the leisurely zither notes in the pavilion within Wandering Know-it-all’s mansion came to a screeching halt.

Wind Chimes placed her hands on the zither strings, and she scowled. She could not help but ask Wandering Know-it-all a question while he continuously performed all sorts of readings and predictions.

“Master, who will win this fight?”

Wandering Know-it-all did not answer.

His silence allowed Wind Chimes to know the answer.

If her master knew the answer, he would definitely not be so busy that he did not even have time to eat.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

At this moment, someone knocked on the door outside the mansion.

Wandering Know-it-all had not responded to Wind Chimes when she tried to probe an answer from him, but now, he raised his head as if he had been shocked, and he looked at Wind Chimes in shock. Who could possibly visit him at this moment?

“Who is it?” Wandering Know-it-all and asked.

Flap flap flap!

Wandering Know-it-all’s response was a snow-white messenger pigeon.

He was stunned for a brief moment before he quickly retrieved the letter from the messenger pigeon’s leg and opened it.

He glanced at it, and his expression turned into one of shock. With quick strides, he got out of the pavilion and went to open the door.

Outside the door were two men with the emblem of Lovely Land sewn on their chests. They warily looked around the area outside the mansion. Right when the door was opened, they slid inside like fishes.

Wandering Know-it-all said nothing. In a great show of teamwork, he quickly shut the door and stared at the two young men in front of him in surprise. They could not have been over twenty-six years old.

“Master, did you receive Happy’s letter?”

One of them quickly spoke. At the same time, out of habit, he pushed at the air above the bridge of his nose.

Wandering Know-it-all was stunned. He quickly captured some bits of information from the way the person referred to Happy. But he just waved the letter in his hands while he quickly cast a glance at the item in his arms.

“Young Lonely White? You’re not one of the elites from Ji Feng in Lovely Land, but from Beautiful Robes Faction, right? You were formerly Happy’s faction mate?”

“As expected of the omniscient diviner of World of Martial Arts!”

“Happy asked us to come over to look for you, and our goal here is to help you contact a group of people to help all of us in Beijing to attack Class One Hall’s headquarters.”

Young Lonely Black (Chen Fan) came with Bai Lang. He cast a glance at Wind Chimes, who walked over from where she was not too far away, and said, “Time is urgent, so let’s not waste it. Happy is not completely confident that he can win this fight, and we have to hurry.”

Wandering Know-it-all and Wind Chimes, who came over because she heard the ruckus, had their expressions become stern. They quickly led the two into the pavilion to discuss matters.

“Do you know how many people Class One Hall and the twelve Beijing sects left in Beijing? How many people do you have? What do you want me to do?”

“You don’t have to worry about the people we have left in the city. Our people have already done a headcount just now on the one hundred and forty streets as well as thousands of restaurants in Beijing, and once we made a tally with the people outside the city, we’ve come to the initial estimation that they have fewer than one hundred thousand people left in Beijing. It will definitely go over this figure.”

Young Lonely White brought out a map from his bosom and spread it out on the stone table in the pavilion. He quickly tapped at the four city gates. “Our people have already secured the city gates.

“And also this place… These places, along with their seventeen headquarters and branches are all under monitor. If Class One Hall mobilizes those forces or does anything, they will not be able to escape from our sight.”

Young Lonely Black added by the side. “We only have around fifty thousand people here, but Happy said that Lovely Land will only be the instigator. We will not be in charge of taking the lead in the attack, that’s why fifty thousand people will definitely be enough. Master Wandering Know-it-all, your task is to contact other elites to help us attack Class One Hall’s headquarters. We will first target the headquarters of two affiliated sects, and when we’ve incited all those who share the same goal with us in Beijing, we will first devour the fifty thousand people Dream Clouds left behind!”

“Doesn’t Happy intend to fight Evil Emperor at Lovely Land?”

When he heard this, Wandering Know-it-all suddenly sucked in a sharp breath and put on a surprised expression.

“Happy won’t run from the fight against Evil Emperor. But Happy already said that to prevent unexpected situations from occurring, he has to prepare a backup plan. Even if he loses Lovely Land in this battle, he will still bring down Class One Hall!”

“Happy also mentioned that if he lost this battle, he would be locked up for one month. If he manages to land a vicious blow on Dream Clouds and buy more time as well as chances for Phantasmal Shadow, then after he emerges one month later, Wind Assault Tower and Lovely Land might still be around in the Chinese server. If he didn’t, Wind Assault Tower and Lovely Land will no longer be around in the Chinese server by the time he comes out. He said that he doesn’t want himself to be the reason why the Chinese server ends up in Wild Wolves’ hands.”

Young Lonely Black’s additional explanation caused Wandering Know-it-all and Wind Chimes to quickly understand Happy’s efforts.

Wandering Know-it-all sucked in a deep breath and felt a myriad of emotions in his heart.

Even if he had managed to win against Evil Emperor before, even if he currently had seven hundred thousand Lovely Land members in his hands, even if he had already become the strongest player in the Chineser server, and even if Happy stood at a high spot no one had ever stood before, he never lost himself.

Now, Wandering Know-it-all could finally understand how Happy managed to arrive at this stage within such a short amount of time.

*****

At that moment, Happy received a reply from Wandering Know-it-all while he served as a garrison where Ghost’s Domain was. The answer was simple and firm.

[I won’t let you down!]
