“Wait!”
Happy was completely unbothered by facing a group of Silver Saber Constables in Moksha Realm. As for the Golden Saber Constable, he was not much different. That man was just an Inaction Realm martial artist, and Happy naturally did not feel any pressure, which was why he was not very nervous about the situation.
Silver Saber Constables and Golden Saber Constables could not be considered to be constables the system automatically generated to capture people. Instead, they were NPCs involved in the plot, and they were like elites in a sect. However, they were a sect who had the right to lock up people.
When the group of Silver Saber Constables examined Happy, they stopped moving.
Even though their superior had given them a second order, they knew about the strength of the person before them very clearly, and he was also a disciple from the Murong Clan as well as the current strongest martial artist among the younger generation of the righteous sects. All that made it obvious that it would not be easy to capture him.
“What else do you want to say?!”
The Golden Saber Constable walked with a majestic gait and the awe-inspiring look of an official. He swept his gaze over one of the corpses of the two monsters of Phoenix Sun before he trained his eyes on Happy’s face again.
Happy placed his hands behind his back before he schooled his expression and snorted coldly. “There are plenty of people here, but you only suspect me. Do you think that the Murong Clan is easy to persecute, or do you think that I’m easy to bully?”
“Do you think that the disciples of the Murong Clan can ignore the laws of the imperial court?”
The Golden Saber Constable mentioned the laws of the imperial court straight away, showing that he was not someone simple.
“This is a grudge in the world of martial artists, which means that this is a matter among wanderers. Those who died here are evil people whose crimes are worthy of a death sentence.
“Why is Six Doors butting into something that doesn’t concern them? Even if you want to butt into this… investigate this properly and only capture the criminal after you determine who is wrong. After all, I am not about to run anywhere, or do you actually think that you have the ability to keep me here?”
“If we don’t try this… how would we know?!” Golden Saber Constable soon deciphered the mocking in Happy’s words, and he flew into a rage before he gave a resolute command. “Seize him!”
The system notification came.
“Ding!
“The Golden Saber Constable of Six Doors came on orders from Empress Yin and led a group of people to capture you. Flee as quickly as possible!”
“Hmph!”
It was at that moment that Happy became certain that the Golden Saber Constable was part of the quest. When he heard the notification from the quest, he instantly came to a realization. “You’re just the lapdogs of the evil cult!”
The quest was full of twists and turns!
The players originally thought that the show was already over, but when they saw the people from Six Doors suddenly attack Happy, they instantly became excited. The ratio of government constables fighting against players was very low, especially high-ranking constables like Golden Saber Constable. To the players, someone like that was naturally intimidating, and they had never heard of them getting into conflict with players before.
Right then, when they saw that Happy actually dared to attack a Golden Saber Constable, they naturally did not want to miss the show!
But the Silver Saber Constables were really not that much. They were just about the same as evil cult disciples. Once Happy used ten moves, his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms shot forward proudly, and the twenty or so Silver Saber Constables were instantly sent away by a large golden dragon. They were all completely routed.
With a loud clang, the Golden Saber Constable drew his golden saber.
The Golden Saber Constable went up to Happy with an awe-inspiring look while he shouted angrily, “You ignorant fool! How dare you fight against the laws of the imperial court?! You just did another crime!”
“I can’t be bothered with this.”
Happy snorted coldly and pushed out a roaring golden dragon with one palm. He knocked away the constable when he was close to him and, with a few jumps, headed into the crowd that was surrounding the area.
The Golden Saber Constable might have landed on the ground safely, but Happy’s Dragon Fights in Wild had caused him to suffer some minor injuries. His robes were torn, and he looked dishevelled, but he quickly gathered a group of Silver Saber Constables with sparkling eyes.
“Gusu’s Blue-robed Hero… what a man. He’s powerful indeed.”
The Silver Saber Constables were all injured, and they asked hesitantly, “Sir, should we chase after him?”
The Golden Saber Constable’s expression changed nonstop. Then, he shook his head.
“Forget it. Even if we chase after him, it would be to no avail. We will pretend that today never happened.”
*****
Once Happy left Phoenix Sun City, he checked his status.
The battle against the Three Monsters of Phoenix Sun County had allowed him to get an overall Class S battle assessment. Not only did his Joined Finger improve and jump into the later stage of the eighth realm in one go, his Nine Yang Divine Skill had also entered the sixth realm from the rather low fifth realm.
Also, his rewards for killing two of three monsters of Phoenix Sun were great.
The Three Monsters of Phoenix Sun had a lot of blood on their hands, and because of it, they had more than ten grade one masterpieces. They also had a low-grade demon vessel known as Hundred Bone Abyssal Spirit Whip, whose power made it one of the best among the low-grade demon vessels. Its damage did not lose to that of a middle-grade divine weapon.
There were also two Moksha Realm martial arts manuals. One of them was a kick technique, and the other a saber technique.
And last but not least, Happy obtained another Sky Demon Order.
He could be considered to have gained a lot from the battle!
*****
Happy soon received Sect Master Huang Rong’s messenger pigeon in the wilderness outside the city.
She said in her letter that since Happy diverted the evil cult’s attention, Song Yuanqiao and the others were safely transferred to another city from the secret base. As of then, they were safe and had already woken up. They were on their way back to Wudang Sect, and he was not to worry.
This result surprised Happy a little.
‘The quest ended? But that doesn’t seem to be the case! After all, the system hasn’t given me the notification that the quest ended.’
The quest also involved Beggar’s Sect, the evil cult, Ming Cult, and Wudang Sect. Even though Happy was not at all surprised by it, he did not understand why the Golden Saber Constable from Six Doors would show up in the end. This made the seemingly normal quest for him to return a favor to appear rather superfluous. On top of that, he did not get a clear sign of his current quest progression, which made it feel like things were shrouded in a fog of mystery.
‘What’s going on?’ Happy scowled. In his previous life, he had never encountered a quest that was so vague.
‘Is it a chain quest or a hidden quest? Or did I run into a rather troublesome variable?’
Happy thought that this was a huge possibility.
He thought about it for quite some time outside the city, and he continued to think about it until dawn arrived and the sun rose in the horizon. Even so, Happy did not receive any notification from the system.
“Forget it!”
Happy sighed and decided to return to Phoenix Sun City. He might be able to get some clues there.
On his way back to Phoenix Sun City, the more Happy thought about it, the more he thought that it was strange.
Even though messenger pigeons were rather popular among players and could reach the receiver very quickly once they were sent, it still required some time!
Huang Rong’s letter…
Could it be that Huang Rong was in Phoenix Sun County or hiding somewhere in the dark?
Also, the timing of Six Door’s appearance was a little strange. They showed up immediately after the battle ended.
Furthermore, what was even stranger was that when Chen Youliang left, Shi Feixuan had clearly said that they were to meet up once he finished transferring everyone, so why did Chen Youliang choose to notify Huang Rong after he left instead of telling Happy himself?
When Happy saw Phoenix Sun City in his view, the puzzlement and gloom in his eyes did not disappear. In the end, he changed his attire, put on a Bamboo Hat, and took up a disguise to pretend to be a normal player before he mixed into the crowd in Phoenix Sun City.
As Happy expected, once he was dressed in handwoven cloth, no one paid him any attention when he entered Phoenix Sun City.
What puzzled Happy upon entering was that a lot of child beggars dressed in rags and holding staffs as well as bowls in their hands suddenly appeared in the streets of Phoenix Sun City, even though there had not been any beggars before. The reason behind it seemed to be because the threat of the evil cult had completely disappeared.
Happy thought about it, and he remembered Chen Youliang mentioning that quite a number of beggars from Phoenix Sun City had been captured by the evil cult disciples.
Happy said nothing about the situation, but his puzzlement just kept building in his chest.
He knew that he might only be able to understand what was going on when he met Chen Youliang.
