“Leader…”
When Evil Emperor came out of the ruins of the Eight Divine King’s divine temple, he was just in time to see Flame Wolf, who had been waiting for him for a long time at that place. Flame Wolf’s eyes lit up, and he quickly went up. Then, he seriously told Evil Emperor with an exaggerated version of the news Carlson gave to him.
“Okay.”
Evil Emperor never looked surprised. He just continued moving forward without ever slowing down. Meanwhile, he just let out those meaningless words.
Flame Wolf was stunned.
“Leader… Lovely Land’s hidden strength is not to be underestimated. As of current, the number of supreme-class elites we have figured out are more than one thousand four hundred people. Carlson said that they should still have people who have not arrived in place. The initial estimates are that there are more than two thousand five hundred people coming to West Region from the Chinese plains this time. They’re enough to form a great threat!”
Under Flame Wolf’s repeated reminders, Evil Emperor finally reacted.
He turned his head around and cast Flame Wolf a faint glance. Instead of answering, he said, “Did you actually think that Happy would not prepare anything for his trip to the West Region and that he won’t have any killing moves?”
Flame Wolf was stunned.
“Happy isn’t an idiot. Without the slightest chance of victory and a plan, he wouldn’t readily risk Lovely Land and the Chinese plains’ future to fight against me! That two thousand five hundred supreme-class elites should be the great gift he gave to me, but unfortunately, to my current self, that bit of people… is nothing.”
Flame Wolf felt his jaw fall slack.
Two thousand five hundred supreme-class elites was already close to the current number of people from Wild Wolves, but Evil Emperor said that this was nothing. Could it be…
Evil Emperor had his own reason behind why he could still be so calm when he heard this shocking news.
The fight in West Region this time was one Happy had personally waged.
Happy had decided to attack in a flashy manner. If he did not have a strong trump card and strength backing him, he would definitely not act so arrogantly.
The power of the sect shown during the tournament might be good, but they were still not strong enough to be of any threat to Evil Emperor. Hence, Evil Emperor believed that this was Happy’s way to deal with the two thousand supreme-class elites on Evil Emperor’s side.
Naturally, that was why he was not shocked in the slightest when he heard Flame Wolf’s report.
The other reason was this, right now, he had already perfected Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds. As of current, Evil Emperor was as strong as a real person in the dao of heaven!
He did not even need to regard someone who was One with the World as any form of a threat.
He had absolute power and control!
Happy’s trump card was just that of supreme-class Inaction Realm players that Evil Emperor had never regarded with any importance since last time.
With Evil Emperor’s current strength and outlook of the world, he would not regard these normal bunch of ants with any importance.
“A normal supreme-class elite is just an ant in front of me. I can destroy them with a flip of my hand. So, this time, in the battle in West Region, I will only have one opponent, and that is Happy.” When Evil Emperor said these words, his words were firm, and he enunciated his words clearly. He grabbed the air, as if that was Happy, and he could crush him at any moment. He gave off an imposing presence.
Flame Wolf sucked in a deep breath in incredible shock.
“Leader, are you saying that you don’t need us attacking at all in this battle?”
“No.” Evil Emperor stopped talking for a while before he said, “I asked all of you to stay here to attract the players from the Chinese plains. When they gather here, we can easily get rid of all of them in one go instead of running all over the place and wasting our time. When the situation here is settled, you just need to take care of the rest and then, attack the Chinese plains with me.”
“Understood!” Flame Wolf could hear the resolution in Evil Emperor’s words, and he sucked in a deep breath once more.
This was the first time the leader wanted to use his own strength to create his dynasty on his own.
In Zither Sect’s valley, Wind Chimes and Xu Yao gradually lost their patience.
They had been waiting for a few hours. In fact, they had been waiting since noon until night time, but Happy had still not appeared. They had released many messenger pigeons during the past few hours, but they received no news replying to them. They did not know whether they should continue waiting endlessly like this.
The girls were not the only ones who lost their patience. At the entrance, Howling Moon and the others started talking to each other in whispers when they saw that their sect master had not come over even after they logged off to eat.
“Should I…?”
Xu Yao cast a glance at the entrance of the valley, where the people had gathered together to whisper to each other, and she looked at Wind Chimes hesitantly and asked, “Should I log off to call him?”
Wind Chimes shook her head.
“Don’t need.”
No matter what, she had practiced divination with Wandering Know-it-all for a period of time, and she knew that there were certain times in the game where they could not receive messenger pigeons. Those times were either when a player was in a certain zone, or when they were fighting. If Happy did not reply over this long period of time, it meant that he must be busy.
If Xu Yao logged off to wake Happy up, she might ruin Happy’s plans.
“Let’s wait a little longer.”
Xu Yao sighed. She felt a little resigned. An entire night had gone by in the game, but Happy had not appeared yet. She did not know what Happy was doing.
As she looked at the brightening sky in the distance outside the valley, Xu Yao focused and placed her attention on the ancient zither on her knees once more.
However, just when she was prepared to continue practicing the zither with Wind Chimes, suddenly, Howling Moon and the others descended into a commotion, and excited shouts came forward.
“He’s here!”
“The sect master is here!”
“Sect Master!”
The two people were delighted, and they got up at the same time.
“Some accidents happened while I was on my way here. I’m sorry for making you wait so long.”
Happy reached Zither Sect’s valley, looking travel worn. When he saw Howling Moong and the others’ slightly resentful but relieved expressions, he explained with a slight smile.
“We were just getting a little impatient,” Howling Moon answered with a smile, but he sized up Happy discreetly.
And he was finally able to decipher certain things.
The old man in the later stage of Myth Realm still followed behind him.
The old man had some barely noticeable dust on him, and there were even tears left behind by sword qis on his sleeves. He looked rather disheveled, but there was no hiding the excited light in his eyes. Howling Moon was very familiar with this gaze. He looked like he had done something bad but gained something really good from it, and he was delighted and pleased about it.
Happy did not look clean and well-kept either.
There was dust on his snow-white robe, and there were countless intersecting sword tears on it, revealing the black Heavenly Demon Armor underneath.
Even though he looked disheveled, Happy also looked excited.
What surprised Howling Moong and the others was that Sect Master Happy seemed to be even more confident than when he was in the tournament area, in fact, he gave off a domineering air that allowed him to look down on the world.
It enveloped his entire body very clearly, and his qi had changed as well. It seemed elusive, but also very prominent.
The group looked at Happy and Thousand-faced Human Fox, and they knew that these two must have gone through an incredibly intense battle.
Their resentment and displeasure mostly disappeared.
As he came charging over, Happy’s voice came into their ears clearly.
“Have you eaten?”
“Yes, and we’re all here,” Howling Moon answered conscientiously.
“That’s good.” Happy nodded and ordered, “Everyone, make preparations, we’re moving out ten minutes later!”
“Alright!”
Howling Moon gave the people around him a signal.
The group instantly started moving.
Happy rushed into the valley without stopping.
Before he could greet Xu Yao and Wind Chimes, the sect master of Zither Sect, who had woken up early to work on his vegetable patch, spoke. His voice was powerful and loud.
“Sect Master Happy, you caused a huge ruckus in Sword Sect with what you did. Hahaha! I was so scared that I didn’t sleep for an entire night.”
Happy was stunned. Then, he wrapped his fist in his palm and smiled wryly. “Sect Master, you embarrass me.
“By the way, since yesterday, I’ve been feeling that someone has been keeping an eye on me, but I’ve never noticed just who it is. So, it’s you…”
“Don’t give me credit for what I did not do!” The sect master stood in the vegetable patch and rolled his eyes. “The sect master was so shocked that he did not dare to show up, and the sect protecting formation couldn’t even kill you. You even had your subordinate empty Sword Sect’s storage. Even if I showed up, I wouldn’t be of any use.”
When he heard this, Happy had an embarrassed look on his face.
He had indeed gone a little overboard.
Not only had he broken the One Thousand Sword Formation, he even scared the sect master so much that he did not dare show up since the start of the fight.
But Thousand-faced Human Fox was even more diabolical!
The thief had practically snatched all the famous things from Sword Sect’s storage. He even managed to get one One Thousand Sword Formation manual, a technique that was used to protect a sect.
Unfortunately, it was just a pretty thing that could not be used. The One Thousand Sword Formation could only be activated with at least one thousand people, and at least one thousand One Thousand Sword Formations manuals were needed before they could create the sect protection formation. Hence, even if it were a top-class sword formation manual, it was useless to them right now.
Of course, aside from the One Thousand Sword Formation manual, Sword Sect’s storage also contained quite a lot of treasures, and all of them were useful.
Thousand-faced Human Fox had managed to get three manuals for ultimate techniques. One of them was for Life and Death Realm, one of them was for Moksha Realm, and one of them was for Inaction Realm!
They were known as Three Dragons Sword, Bright Sword Technique, and Hidden Dragon Sword Technique.
He also managed to get dozens of high grade sword technique manuals, thirty high-grade divine weapons and demon vessels, more than one hundred normal masterpieces, ten Illusion Life and Death Pills, one Thousand-year Ginseng, more than one hundred bottles of medicinal pills below second grade, and countless treasures.
Of course, what caught Happy’s attention was a grade one miracle pill called Sword Origin Pill, and it was an item that Thousand-faced Human Fox had stolen from the sect master’s room.
Sword Origin Pill was a pill nourished by the former sect masters who were One with the World. Right now, it was already at the ranks of a normal miracle medicine. Its effect was just as great as Shaolin Temple’s Great Reversion Pill.
It could increase two hundred of his qi points!
Happy’s qi had jumped to 1,894 points. After he drank the calming from the sect master of Zither Sect, his qi also reached 1,994.
This time, he also gained a lot as he fought against the One Thousand Sword Formation!
His qi had gone over 2,130 points, and 2,130 qi points was a huge wall for them!
If he took this Sword Origin Pill, his qi would reach a really terrifying degree!
Even if he used those killing moves that drained a lot of qi from him, his qi would still not fall below Inaction Realm.
This was also why Happy and Thousand-faced Human Fox could not hide the delight and excitement from their faces after they left Sword Sect’s mountain.
As for the sect master of Zither Sect, he was shocked by Happy’s act of breaking out of the One Thousand Sword Formation, and he was also terrified by Thousand-faced Human Fox’s methods in stealing from Sword Sect, and he thanked his lucky stars that he had not decided to become enemies with Happy.
