“Chirp chirp...”

After Happy bade farewell to Leader Hui Xin and walked out of Intelligent Heart Temple, he suddenly felt that the world had become very different. His footsteps were light, and the air was fresh. The birds sang while the flowers gave off a sweet fragrance. Wherever he went, he felt that the world around him was incredibly transparent to him.

Emei Sect’s Nine Yang Skill was indeed extraordinary.

As he moved, his qi increased and decreased to fill up his body.

When he tapped against the ground, he shot more than thirty feet away.

“Look at him, how did he leave Intelligent Heart Temple?”

A young couple outside Intelligent Heart Temple was shocked out of their daze by Happy. They were just in time to see Happy land on the ground after he jumped down from the tree. Then, before the two of them could activate their wild and evil imagination, Happy—dressed in normal clothes—summoned his Hoof Shadow without hesitation.

The black and handsome steed instantly attracted the couple’s gazes. They did not dare run their mouths and only watched the person jump on the horse without a word. Then, with a loud and clear neigh, the person and the horse swiftly left the forest happily.

“Hoof Shadow...”

“That’s a Hoof Shadow? Darling, when will you get one?”

“... I will. Hey, uh, the weather’s nice today, huh?”

When he heard his lover’s excited and longing words, the man felt incredibly awkward, and he quickly changed the topic.

*****

The atmosphere in Eternal Peace Temple was incredibly intense.

Since the elites from the six clans had been imprisoned, aside from Emei Sect, the people from the other five great system-allocated sects gave quests to various martial artists to save the elites of the six great system-allocated sects. This resulted in countless heroes gathering, and there were plenty of people who attacked the tower every day.

If it were not for the fact that A’san, A’er, A’da, and Ku Toutuo, who were all Inaction Realm fighters, were the guards, the players who came from all over the game would have thought of every method conceivable to rip Eternal Peace Temple apart.

When Happy arrived there, he saw that Eternal Peace Temple was filled with people moving back and forth. It was as lively as a market, and the corpses of Yuan Dynasty soldiers could be seen everywhere on the ground. The once proper temple had been decorated with so many corpses that it looked like a battlefield.

When Happy jumped down from his horse, he quietly and calmly mixed into the crowd around Eternal Peace Temple.

The moment he arrived at the entrance, he suddenly stopped moving. He looked up and stared at a thin man wearing a Bamboo Hat at the entrance.

A light crease appeared between his eyebrows.

Happy retreated via the way he came to stand outside the door. He tapped against the ground and gently landed on the wall of the temple before he shot inside.

There were quite a number of youngsters who loved using lightness skills in the game, and when they entered many places, they never used the entrance. They loved entering places by jumping over walls, so Happy’s action did not attract people’s attention.

However, the thin man leaning against the entrance raised his head by accident and looked into the temple to stare at Happy’s back. An indistinct look of puzzlement and surprise could be seen through the thin veil that fell over his face.

‘Did a fellow thief decide to come here in such a flashy manner?’

That person was a thief who had mixed into the crowd. When he saw that Eternal Peace Temple was a popular place, he ingeniously made use of the entrance, where a large number of people passed by, and kept an eye out for rich people so he could steal from them.

He had noticed that Happy rode in on a Hoof Shadow, so he wanted to steal from him, but he did not expect that Happy would be so alert and intentionally avoid using the entrance.

Usually, when thieves were noticed by powerful players, they might be suppressed on the spot when they took action and be killed right away while their equipment was taken.

Only fellow thieves would choose to avoid each other to prevent misunderstandings because they did not know each other.

The thin man did not keep his eye on the person in an act of caution, but he did not know that Happy had chosen to avoid the entrance because he did not want the thief to learn of his identity.

When he entered Eternal Peace Temple, Happy found his surprise increase even further the deeper he went inside.

A lot more Life and Death Realm players had appeared over the twenty days.

Besides, the player parties who came to challenge Eternal Peace Temple were a little too bold. Forget about the ones who challenged the periphery of the temple, they did not even spare the heavy-armored Yuan Dynasty soldiers around the tall tower.

Some of the commanders of one thousand soldiers and commanders of one hundred soldiers among the heavy-armored Yuan Dynasty soldiers were rather extraordinary, but even they did not manage to escape being targeted by the players.

Right then, the only thing that the players did not dare to do was attack the tall tower because there were four Inaction Realm fighters guarding it!

‘They’re there as well?’

Happy saw a few familiar faces behind the wall of the tall tower.

There was Towering Palace’s Merciless Saber Shangguan Lian and Musical Note as well as Class One Hall’s Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows. They occupied one side of the tall tower. After accumulating strength for some time, they mostly had third-echelon weapons and armor in their hands. When they stood in front of the crowd, they were very eye-catching presences.

Aside from them, Happy noticed Chivalry Sect’s Lin Xiao. His big and stalwart body made him look like a God of War when he stood in the front. His huge black broadsword moved through the crowd like a ship sailing through the waves. He attracted the attacks from most of the heavy-armored Yuan Dynasty soldiers, but he did not really get injured. His strength was clearly at the top among the five.

Happy originally wanted to go into the tall tower and lure out all three of Zhao Min’s servants so that he could create some chaos among the people underneath as well as make things a little “livelier”, but when he saw Lin Xiao around, he immediately got rid of that plan.

Lin Xiao’s personality was very much like that of swordsmen in the past, and it was Happy’s cup of tea. Since Chivalry Sect had also taken a fancy to the resources in the temple, he could only wait for the moment when the heavy-armored Yuan Dynasty soldiers were completely killed before he notified Lin Xiao to leave temporarily.

The defense of heavy-armored Yuan Dynasty soldiers was incredibly high, and even if someone as strong as Lin Xiao attacked them, they needed a long time to kill them.

Happy had nothing to do during that time, so his eyes wandered around sizing up the other players. Soon though, his gaze suddenly became much more solemn than before.

There were quite a number of familiar faces within the walls, but there were even more familiar faces outside the wall!

There was Solitary Perpetual Joy, the master of Perpetual Joy Sect, All-powerful Medicinal Stone, who was there for some reason... and Blood Robes!

The three familiar faces from the crowd shocked Happy to a great degree, but what concerned him the most was Blood Robes and All-powerful Medicinal Stone, who wore his human skin mask. Blood Robes was actually quite courageous to have come running to Eternal Peace Temple, and All-powerful Medicinal Stone was someone who had always appeared where Class One Hall was. He was the epitome of someone who would not go somewhere if he had no grudge against them.

Could it be that Class One Hall had some kind of major operation in Eternal Peace Temple?

Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows could be considered as top-tier elites in Class One Hall, but if even their vice hall master Blood Robes was around, then the lineup was a little too powerful.

What was even stranger was that Blood Robes had clearly disguised himself. He hid among a group of normal players who had no sect emblem, but he was not too far away from Solitary Perpetual Joy’s team. Those people would occasionally cast their gazes on the wall.

Medicinal Stone sleazily hid himself in a three-man party further away while he kept his eyes on Blood Robes and the others’ actions in an absent-minded fashion.

Happy said nothing, but when he saw that, no matter how slow-witted he could be, he too noticed the strange atmosphere. He suppressed his urge to kill Blood Robes, pushed his Bamboo Hat down, and moved past Medicinal Stone as if he had nothing on his mind. While doing so, he issued a trading request without batting an eyelid. Then, he went to a rather secluded area outside the temple without stopping anywhere.

He felt that there should be a scheme he was not aware of in the area.

Medicinal Stone shuddered slightly and looked at Happy’s back with his eyes alight.

In truth, while he was in Beijing, he had already noticed that there was something strange with Blood Robes’ actions. When the man and his party slaughtered his way into Eternal Peace Temple, it just made Medicinal Stone even more uneasy than before.

He chased after them to Eternal Peace Temple based on the coordinates of a person beside Blood Robes, but he did not know who Blood Robes’ target was.

Happy’s sudden appearance left Medicinal Stone pleasantly surprised.

He had just taken a few steps after Happy when he noticed Happy’s body tremble. Happy suddenly stopped moving and shot behind a stone tower at an astonishing speed. His movements were extremely agile.

Medicinal Stone’s eyes were fixed on Happy, so he looked in the direction in which Happy had glanced, and he saw two men with extraordinary presences dashing toward the tall tower one after another. One of them had a long jade green flute by his waist.

‘Demon Flute, Child’s Heart.’

Medicinal Stone’s gaze stopped on them for a while before he sucked in a deep breath. Then, he swiftly came to realize the identity of the person next to him.

‘Zhou Yu, second on the Dragon Rank!”
