The sudden martial arts tournament threw Happy’s plans slightly off course.

If it were a normal main quest, Happy could naturally set aside Nine Yang Divine Skill for the time being, but there were many things involved in a martial arts tournament.

Besides, this largely involved the Murong Clan, one of the eight famous aristocratic clans. Once Happy returned to the game, he received the Murong Clan Lady’s personal letter via messenger pigeon, and he sank into a dilemma.

Not only did the Murong Clan Lady mention that the matter with General Yang at Common Reed Bank had been solved she also asked him to immediately return to the Murong Clan!

The Chinese chose to organize a martial arts tournament to elect a leader of the martial arts world, which would shove all responsibilities of mobilizing the martial artists on the sect which won. They would take the lead in the fight against Sky Demon Sect, which had resurrected from the grave.

However, the tournament would also allow the great sects in the world of martial artists to show their sects’ strength. Hence, the event was incredibly important. The Murong Clan Lady wanted to resurrect the Murong Clan’s prestige, which was why she regarded the martial arts tournament with great importance.

In fact, she stated that those who received the top ten ranks in the ranking tournament among the disciples would receive a valuable martial arts manual from the Murong Clan, and the person who ranked first will obtain the Murong Clan’s peerless ultimate technique: s.h.i.+fting Stars! But the requirements to train s.h.i.+fting Stars had not changed. If the user had not mastered one hundred martial arts, they would still be unable to learn s.h.i.+fting Stars.

Nine Yang Divine Skill might be important, but the quest from one’s master was even more important. Happy could not cast aside the reputation of his master’s clan and all the hard work he had done for a single manual.

Besides, the system would also provide pretty decent rewards for the martial arts tournament.

The champion would receive a divine weapon, the first runner-up would receive Illusion Life and Death Pill, while the second runner-up would receive on Origin Leopard Pill as well as the incantations for a high-tier Life and Death Realm qi cultivation technique. The top one hundred martial artists as well as the top ten from the sects would each receive a t.i.tle from the system on top of that.

Emei Sect was a great sect in the world of martial artists, so Zhou Zhiruo should appear in the martial arts tournament as well. Hence, instead of travelling for hundreds of miles to Emei Sect, it would be better if Happy just waited around for Zhou Zhiruo, Song Qingshu, and Ming Cult’s Zhang Wuji to appear.

Under the influence of the unexpected martial arts tournament, Happy’s plans changed. He quickly returned to Gusu City, where he first stayed, and went back to the Murong Clan.

Clang!

Ting! Clang!

Before he even got close to Gusu City, Happy saw a group of people fighting fiercely against each other on the government-made road. The shadows of weapons flashed as the players fought with vigor. There were no fewer than one hundred corpses on the road.

Fights in the game could be seen every day, but it was the first time Happy saw such a large-scale fight in Gusu City’s territory. If hundreds of people fought to the death against each other, it was clear that the grudge between them was very deep.

Originally, Happy did not want to get into trouble, but to his surprise, when he charged less than 328 feet forward, he saw a few people being surrounded by dozens of people at the edge of the battlefield, and there were a few familiar figures standing back to back among them. They formed a defensive circle to withstand the fierce attacks of the enemy.

It would have been fine if Happy had not looked, but when he did, he saw Whirlwind Young Li, Eastern Green Gate, the Xuan brothers, Azure Wolf, Qian Kunzi, and Eleventh Crane. While the six protected him, Eleventh Crane kept firing arrows.

Happy scowled, and without another word, he immediately jumped into the air from his horse.

Whoos.h.!.+

Phantasmal Body Movement Skill was peerless and brilliant, but a lot of people with this skill had appeared in the game, and it was now a common sight, which was why it was no longer shocking to see someone with it.

Even though Happy’s appearance was unexpected, the people who attacked Whirlwind Young Li and his party soon realized that the person who arrived seemed to be a part of the enemy. A few people split up from the group and attacked Happy with throwing knives and hidden weapons.

“How dare you try to stop Profound Sky Sect from doing their work?!”

“Die!”

Their arrogant tone caused Happy to fly into a rage again.

He snorted coldly. “Profound Sky Sect, what’s that?! I’ve only ever heard of Chivalry Sect and Mu Clan in Jiangnan’s Gusus. Profound Sky Sect? Never heard of it.”

With one palm strike, he struck away the throwing knives and hidden weapons that came flying at him without losing his momentum. He shot above the crowd like a bird, and with a roaring dragon-shaped vortex crashed into the crowd.

“No good, it’s Happy!”

“RUN!”

The might of his fist could at most cause a few people to fly away, but many noticed the dragon-shaped vortex on Happy’s arm as well as heard the dragon’s roar in their ears.

Instantly, their faces turned pale. They recognized Happy, and as they cried out in surprise, they quickly scattered and fled.

“Why is this fiend here?!”

A person’s reputation was very important!

Happy might have vanished for two months in the game, but the person who had caused Cla.s.s One Hall to be in their current state of weakness and made the four great sects divide the territory in the game equally was him. He killed Zhou Yu with two moves, intimidated Dream Clouds, Blood Robes, Zhou Yu, and a group of other top-cla.s.s elites, and he also forced Cla.s.s One Hall to retreat repeatedly to the north.

Profound Sky Sect might be arrogant, but they knew that they were not as domineering as Cla.s.s One Hall! They also did not think that their measly dozen people were stronger than the one thousand people in Beijing.

“You’ll all die here.”

Happy tapped against the ground and shot in front of the escaping people like a bolt of lightning. His palms moved like the wind.

“AH!”

“AAAHH!!”

The eight players who were right in front were hit so hard that they coughed up blood and flew back before cras.h.i.+ng on the ground and rolling a few times on it like a ball. The others sucked in sharp breaths, and it was only then that they realized that Happy’s movement speed surpa.s.sed what they understood.

“Happy!”

“Why are you here?”

“This is great! These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from Profound Sky Sect don’t even look at who they’re attacking. How dare they try to attack the people from Murong Clan and Gusu’s six man group!”

When Happy took off his Bamboo Hate, the anxiety on Whirlwind Young Li’s face vanished, and he placed his hands on his waist with smugness on his face.

“What’s going on? Why are you fighting against these people?”

Eleventh Crane put away his bow and glared at Profound Sky Sect members who were so shocked that they looked like they were struck by lightning. He came over then and offered an explanation.

“Something happened. Recently, we noticed a tomb filled with traps downstream of Gusu City. Once we finished the quest, the tomb turned into a crystal mine, and Profound Sky Sect appeared to suppress us from all sides. They locked down the mine, monopolizing it. We’ve fought against them a few times, but we didn’t expect them to gather their people outside the city to kill us.”

When Happy heard of a tomb with traps, he quirked his eyebrows, but he soon recovered.

“Are those people over there also from Profound Sky Sect?”

“They’re people Young Li and the others brought up over this period of time,” Eleventh Crane said while walking over.

When Happy heard this, he was stunned.

He redirected his gaze, and it was only then that he noticed that there was a strange picture serving as a sect emblem on Young Li’s chest. Eastern Green Gate and the others had similar emblems, and they looked very embarra.s.sed.

It was only at that moment that he remembered them saying that they wanted to rely on themselves to carve out their successes through their own efforts. By the looks of it, the six had been able to do it.

“We’ll talk about the other matters later!” Once Happy said that, he released an astonis.h.i.+ng presence. “We have to save them first!”

When they sensed the gazes Happy and the others cast on them, the Profound Sky Sect members instantly felt as if they had fallen into ice, and they groaned in their hearts. They immediately cursed the person who had organized the operation.
