When they walked through the disorderly empty s.p.a.ces in the forest, the puzzlement in Happy and his group’s eyes became stronger. It was clear that the place had just witnessed a terrible battle. The corpses of three players had yet to disappear, and they lay on the ground in a line in incredibly strange postures. They seemed to have been ambushed from behind and killed while they were circulating their qi.

Not far in the distance was a huge carca.s.s of a wolf lying on its side. The ground around it had been completely dyed in blood and looked like h.e.l.l on earth. There were even the corpses of four other players scattered next to it.

Happy and the others were stunned speechless. They looked at each other in silence and became wary.

It would seem like the depths of the forest around Cold Mountain Temple were no longer a safe place to practice their skills.

“What should we do?”

Azure Wolf shrank his neck and looked at Happy.

It could be seen that the battle had ended not long ago after someone had ambushed the group of players who had been taking turns fighting against a Great Wolf. Once they succeeded, they attacked the Great Wolf. They were not weak, and their numbers were rather great.

“This is not the first group we run into while on our way here. Looks like we aren’t the only ones who understand the benefits of the Great Wolf Fur Equipment Sets. Someone wants to occupy this place, so it will no longer be peaceful.” When Eastern Green Gate began to speak, both he and Whirlwind Young Li had solemn expressions on their faces.

The latter paused for a moment before he said, “It might be people from Dragon Tiger Sect.”

“Dragon Tiger Sect?” Happy observed the battlefield around him for a moment before he turned around and said, “If it’s really them, then things will be easy.” Not a single hint of emotion could be seen on his face.

Happy did not fear Dragon Tiger Sect. After he reached Gate Realm, his lightness skill reached its peak, and he could move about freely. If Dragon Tiger Sect had truly decided to clear this place for themselves, he would see whether they were sensible. If they were not? Hmph! Happy would just settle their old and new grudges together.

He remembered that after this day, evil deeds would run wild in the game, and endless opportunities could be found.

It was also why he had resolutely decided to spend some time to gear up Whirlwind Young Li and his friends; he wanted them to have a better chance of protecting themselves in the chaotic and dangerous world of martial artists.

Regardless of whether the people who had come to clear this place were from Dragon Tiger Sect or some other force, the forest on this day was going to be his… After all, he was about to wander into the world and was not afraid of offending any of the organizations the players had created.

“Let’s go!” With a low shout, the four of them charged into the depths of the forest with the sounds of their sleeves fluttering in the wind.

“Who is it?!”

Before they could travel even 328 feet, four people in white shot out from behind the tree in front of them and blocked their path.

“Stop! Heaven Domination Sect is here on official business. All of you who are not part of our organization, leave.”

They seemed to be able to tell that Happy and his group were people who could be easily provoked. The person in charge did not immediately order his men to kill them, as he had done for the others.

With raised eyebrows, the four of them stopped moving. Happy did not panic and quickly swept his gaze over the four people in front of him before he looked past their shoulders at the group of people in white surrounding and attacking a Great Wolf not far in the distance.

“Heaven Domination Sect?”

“They’re a sect which has recently risen to power, and I heard that they have quite a lot of members. They’re showing signs of surpa.s.sing Dragon Tiger Sect.” Eastern Green Gate understood the changes in Gusu City the most in their group. Hence, he updated Happy of the situation.

Happy nodded slightly as a sign that he understood.

He turned his gaze and looked at the person in charge. He said with a face that did not allow that person to see whether he was happy or angry. “Did you kill the group of people we saw along the way?”

“Are you here for revenge?”

The four people in white’s expressions changed, and the wary looks on their faces became obvious.

“Notify the others!”

They revealed everything with just one sentence, and Happy became certain that this group did indeed have the intention to sweep this place clear of other players and monopolize the resources. They had killed quite a large number of people to achieve that. The warmth in Happy’s eyes instantly disappeared. He swept his gaze over the four people, and a disdainful look appeared on his face.

“Tell your boss that I’m going to take down all the Great Wolves here today. All of you from Heaven Domination Sect are to leave within ten breaths. If you don’t… then I will kill all of you without exception.”

“Oh? How dare you!”

One of the people in white across from them had a cold smile on his face. It was clear that he had been angered. Before the person beside him could open his mouth to stop him, a shocking cold glare shone from the hands of the blue-robed young man.

Bang!

The rude person was sent flying by a strong force and crashed into a tree. There was a throwing knife in his chest, buried up to the hilt. The man’s eyes were wide open, but he had already breathed his last.

s.h.i.+ng! s.h.i.+ng!

The other three people had already drawn their swords, but they froze with astonishment on their faces.

Even though they had long since heard that the Blue-robed n.o.ble Sword User was the strongest player in Gusu City, only a few of them had truly witnessed his strength before.

Right then, when Happy attacked, his actions had shocked them!

He ignored the surprised and enraged looks on the faces of the three people in white. He lowered his head, as if there was no one beside him, and gently flicked off a speck of dust from his sleeve before he said, “I might sound arrogant, but I have power. Just like how it is reasonable for you to kill others to open a path for yourselves, it’s also logical for me to occupy this land and claim myself as king of this territory. You just need to send your word. The decision lies in your leader’s hands.”

The three people in white looked at each other.

“Fine, just you wait!”

One of them turned around and ran backwards.

When he saw this, Happy could not help the shock in his heart. ‘Could it be that the sect master of Heaven Domination Sect is among the group of people attacking the Great Wolf right now?’

At that moment, the commotion had already alerted the group farther away. Some of them slowed down their attacks and removed themselves from the group.

What surprised Happy even more was that Leader Lin, who organized the attack, was among the people. As luck would have it, the young man Happy killed just now was Leader Lin’s cousin. He had been arrogant because he had witnessed Leader Lin’s might and did not regard anyone with any importance.

When Lin Xuanfeng died, Leader Lin immediately received his cousin’s message and his tearful complaint. When he saw the contents in the letter and Happy and his group not too far in the distance, his gaze instantly darkened.

“Get all of our people here.”

“Leader Lin?”

When the messenger saw this, he knew that Leader Lin had decided to kill Happy and his group. He was shocked and afraid. “You have just arrived in Gusu City, so you might not know, but he is Happy, the strongest player in Gusu City—”

Leader Lin did not seem to have heard the advice from his sect member. His tone became incredibly cold.

“Didn’t you hear me?”

Dragon Tiger Sect had lost to Happy. There was no way he would not know about such important information. However, the situation right now was different. Dragon Tiger Sect had only sent four people to attack him at that time, but Leader Lin had mobilized around eighty people in the forest around Cold Mountain Temple to make sure that he could seize the sp.a.w.ning point of the Great Wolves with absolute certainty.

He refused to believe that a player who had just reached Gate Realm could remain arrogant while surrounded by many enemies.

The messenger in white quickly did as told.

The order was swiftly sent to the ears of all the sect members of Heaven Domination Sect. Once they knew that they were going up against the Blue-robed n.o.ble Sword User, they were both happy and worried…

Dragon Tiger Sect’s example still rang loud and clear in Gusu City, and yet, right then, Leader Lin wanted to kill Happy. If they ended up the same as Dragon Tiger Sect and offended Gusu City’s strongest player, Heaven Domination Sect’s future would be in peril.

However, there were also some who were enthusiastic. They believed that if they could use the chance to kill Happy, Heaven Domination Sect’s prestige would definitely surpa.s.s that of Dragon Tiger Sect, and they would become Gusu City’s strongest sect.

For a period of time, the sounds of sleeves fluttering in the wind could be heard without end in the depths of the forest. The constant sounds of footsteps also gathered swiftly in one place!

Happy did not say a thing. The abnormal atmosphere in the forest and the answer that Heaven Domination Sect refused to give made him and his group realize what it was. Their expressions became grave.

Happy’s gaze turned cold. Right in front of the group of people in white, he brought out his Green Jade Shrouded in Heavenly Silks from his Universe Bag. It exuded a faint cold chill.
