Silence fell among them for a while.
What Golden Rakkhasa did not expect was that once Bloody Hell Saber took the letter, he also read it a few times, as if he was possessed, just like Flame Wolf. He did not say anything even after a long time had passed.
Golden Rakkhasa decided to not even bother talking and just snatched the letter from Bloody Hell Saber's hands.
On it was this word: Read.
"What does the boss mean by this?" Golden Rakkhasa read the letter for a long time with a stiff expression before he looked up in confusion.
He saw none of the anger he expected to see in the letter. There was no mocking words or accusations either. This was supposed to be an incredibly important task, but it seemed like the boss was treating it with disinterest, as if he was looking at a normal middle-aged lady on the streets.
Golden Rakkhasa looked at his team leader. "Flame Wolf, you have a good head. Think, just what mood did the boss have when he wrote this letter? Why do I think that it's seriously strange that he reacted this way?"
"I don't know what's going either. I have to ask Spider."
Flame Wolf also looked lost and baffled. He thought about this with a scowl for a long time before he made his decision. He sent another letter to Spider.
Spider was someone who was rather close to their leader, and he was good with words. He could guess most of what their leader was thinking of most of the time…
Very soon, they obtained news.
In truth, their leader already obtained the news of their failure before they even reported, and he was paying close attention to everything that happened in the Chinese server right now.
[You idiots, you only thought about reporting this after the accident involving you has been uploaded for almost half a day on the official website?]
[...Is the leader mad?] Flame Wolf asked tentatively.
[You don't say! This is something that was bound to succeed, but veterans like you failed. The plan the leader has been concocting over a year has failed, and you didn't even report it on time. Would the leader's mood be good?]
The trio's faces were pale.
[Don't worry. The few major events in the Chinese server over the past few days have all been caused by Happy. The leader already knows that person's strength, and right now, his thoughts are probably not on you. You don't have to worry too much.]
[Hmm?]
Flame Wolf was delighted, as if he just saw a silver lining. Then, his expression changed. [Happy did something major?]
[Yeah. You know Class One Hall, right?]
[Of course. I heard that they're our new allies who are prepared to work together with us in secret to take down Wandering Know-it-all and Wind Assault Tower so that they can become the greatest force of power in the Chinese server. This time, the fact that we can lie in secret in the Chinese server for a month also proved that Class One Hall's master does indeed have some skill and courage. Why did you suddenly mention them?] Flame Wolf answered and asked.
The trio were stunned silent.
Even though they knew that the forces of power in the Chinese server was complicated, were largely interconnected with each other, and that Class One Hall was not the strongest sect in the Chinese server, it was just below Wind Assault Tower, and there was no doubt that Class One Hall was the greatest giant below Wind Assault Tower. In fact, it was only slightly weaker than Wind Assault Tower. Even Wind Assault Tower would not dare to readily attack Class One Hall.
Just who would dare to attack Class One Hall?
[Does this have to do with Happy?] Flame Wolf connected this with the clues Spider mentioned just now, and he felt shocked.
[That's right. He did it,] Spider answered. [Not only did that person destroy a very important branch from Class One Hall alone, he also killed more than three thousand Class One Hall elites. Even in Wild Wolves, there are fewer than ten who have this sort of strength!]
[Is that guy so powerful?] Flame Wolf gulped laboriously.
Golden Rakkhasa was already prepared to take back his previous oath.
Perhaps it was not difficult to destroy a branch, but they might not be able to kill thousands of people alone, even if they had an endless supply of medicinal pills.
They knew just how hard the task was. That was why it was no wonder why Happy had attracted their leader's attention.
[But let's set this aside for now. We've already gathered all of Happy's information, and the leader discovered many things.]
"Hmm?"
Spider replied, [I shouldn't be telling you these things, but now, it shouldn't be a secret anymore. That Happy not only has Tendon Changing Classic, Ten True Dragon Styles, and Wave-like Subtle Steps, he can also fight against elites at the peak of Myth Realm!]
"What?!"
The trio were stupefied once more.
Spider gave them another shocking piece of news. [The Prophet used that thing to learn about it. You know as well that while many have challenged Myth Realm NPCs, the dignity of those at the peak is still not shaken! Aside from the leader, very few people can fight against elites at the peak of Myth Realm alone!]
[That's right.]
[But before he destroyed Sky Demon Branch, Happy fought against a very famous elite at the peak of Myth Realm for half an hour alone. He even scared away Empress Yin!]
[Empress Yin?!] The trio were now dumbfounded.
The trio were originally Chinese, and naturally, they understood Empress Yin's strength.
[What has caught the leader's attention the most is that this person was really coincidentally in the area when he ruined your plan, and he has now formed a connection with our most stubborn enemy in the Chinese server, Wandering Know-it-all.]
"...Hiss." The trio finally realized just how serious the matter was.
A powerful enemy who could threaten Wild Wolves had just decided to become allies with their most stubborn enemy. If that were the case, it was the same as the Chinese server having another top-class elite who could fight against Wild Wolves.
They might have another great force fighting against their great plan of entering and controlling the Chinese server now!
[What does the leader intend to do now?]
[Immortal and Peach Blossom have just mastered Bright Sword Technique, which is the sword technique they've been practicing from Bright Sword Sect lately. When those two work together, they can easily kill a normal Myth Realm elite. The leader has already ordered them to head to the Chinese server and carry out a secret mission.]
[A secret mission?]
[That's not too appropriate, is it? Immortal and Peach Blossom might be strong, but once they're in the Chinese server, they won't be familiar with the place and the people. They might be easily targeted by Wandering Know-it-all.]
[They might not be familiar with it, but aren't you familiar? The leader has already told me to tell you that you are to immediately head back to the Chinese server. You don't need to come back, just turn around to the Chinese server to help Immortal and Peach Blossom. If you fail in this mission again, the leader will punish you to go to Africa to catch Sick Scavenger Rats.]
[Listening, or reading, since I'm reading your letter.]
[You've been yammering on for a while now, but you just want to tell us the environment and details of our mission, right?]
[Yup. As expected of Flame Wolf. The leader just mentioned that you will definitely have a way to let Golden Rakkhasa and Bloody Hell Saber return obediently to the Chinese server. Alright, that's the end of the conversation. If you have further questions, I won't be telling them to you for free. One question will cost you ten million. You can also choose to ask the leader yourself.]
"That damn Spider."
Flame Wolf tore the letter in his hands and glared at the ocean with gritted teeth.
Before long, a small boat was released from the ship and fell in the water.
Three people with sour expressions then took the path back to the Chinese server.
****
*
There were some who were delighted by Sky Demon Branch's destruction, and some were miserable.
Blood Alliance and Five Venoms had given extra "care" to Hunter Clan, and now, Hunter Clan did not even dare to readily step out of the city.
However, ever since news of Happy destroying Sky Demon Branch alone got out, the people from Five Venoms and Blood Alliance vanished without a trace.
Hunter Clan walked out of the city smugly. They walked one huge round outside and finally found that no one from Blood Alliance and Five Venoms dared to harass them anymore.
"Darn it."
"So lame."
"I originally thought that we could run into a few people from Blood Alliance." Old Pang and Young Pang thrust their stomachs forward and exercised their necks while they looked around. They said in utter disappointment, "With Fire Qilin Blood in our hands right now, I'd like those people from Blood Alliance and Five Venoms to kill me a few more times."
"They're not giving us the chance."
Many of the players nearby heard their words had their cheeks twitch, and they did not know what to say either.
It was to be expected. Right now, Hunter Clan could be considered famous!
Sky Demon Branch was destroyed, all because of one messenger pigeon from Mu Qi, and it brought a great loss and humiliation to Class One Hall, and it was one they could not erase.
While the people outside did not spread this, those from Hunter Clan spoke about this a lot.
Right now, Mu Qi and his group had already received the Fire Qilin Blood Happy posted to him.
It was a sacred medicine that could increase dozens of their qi and heal all their internal injuries.
All of them longed for Blood Alliance and Five Venoms to continue causing trouble to them. They wanted to die a few more times so that Happy could kill more to vent his anger.
Naturally, they did not know that ever since the matter with Sky Demon Branch was known, Dream Clouds and Blood Robes had stopped all orders to attack Hunter Clan at the same time.
Even though they had been humiliated rather greatly, they knew that it was clearly an unequal trade to use such an inconspicuous group like Hunter Clan to agitate Happy in exchange for one hundred times the deaths of Class One Hall members.
Chapter 988 - Wandering Know-it-all’s Reminder
Hunter Clan was killed twice by Blood Alliance and Five Venoms' scheme. Not only had they successfully stimulated Happy's most frenzied killing intent and fiercest counterattack, it also allowed Happy to realize the damage brought by Wave-like Subtle Steps and Great Demonic World Destruction Art.
Of course, the set of fourth-echelon demon vessels from Wild Wolves also contributed. If he did not have this set of equipment, it would have been impossible for him to destroy Sky Demon Branch so smoothly and get all of its resources.
However, Happy did not intend for things to end like this!
Sky Demon Branch's destruction only managed to punish Class One Hall.
Blood Alliance was still safe.
Happy naturally did not want Blood Robes to be situated outside this matter.
After Happy left Sky Demon Branch, he rode nonstop and vanished from everyone's sights to head to a city dozens of miles away.
However, what caught Happy by surprise was that soon after he left Sky Demon Branch, he received a messenger pigeon from Wandering Know-it-all.
The latter congratulated Happy successfully destroying Sky Demon Branch. Then, he said something that caused Happy to be incredibly surprised.
[Happy, your goal this trip should be Baokang County Town, right?]
Happy replied in great astonishment, [How did you know? I'm currently dozens of miles away from Baokang County. How did you manage to guess?]
If it were anyone else, perhaps Happy would still try to conceal his location and try to probe for information. However, Happy had straightaway admitted the fact that he did indeed intend to head to Baokang.
Wandering Know-it-all replied, [I think there are quite a few people who managed to guess this, aside from me. You took revenge on one of the most important branches from Class One Hall this time, and you brought a great loss to Class One Hall. However, you definitely won't be satisfied by taking revenge on Class One Hall alone. And your revenge on Blood Alliance, which is controlled by Blood Robes, will definitely not be anything less. It'll only be fiercer.
[I made some calculations, there is only one place where Blood Alliance is near Sky Demon Branch and has a status that can compete against Sky Demon Branch. That's Baokang County Town!
[Due to the unique resources from Fire Qilin, it allowed Sky Demon Branch to be able to be worth a few normal resource points. In fact, it can even be worthy of ten resource points!
[There are only a handful of places which can compete against Sky Demon Branch, and one of them is Baokang County Town, which has multiple resource points, along with Shennongjia, which has an abundant of resources. When you gather all of them together, then, it means that the resources in Baokang County Town's storage can only be much higher than Sky Demon Branch!]
Wandering Know-it-all's letter was written with firm and confident strokes.
Happy was stunned silent before he replied sincerely, [You're amazing!]
Wandering Know-it-all had indeed made a right guess. His goal this time was to snatch the resources that Blood Alliance had gathered together in their branch in Baokang County Town.
There were plenty of players who only practiced their occupations in Baokang.
Blood Alliance had gathered together nearly ten thousand players focusing only on occupations to amass their wealth. The branch could get quite a large sum of resources every day. Over the past year, they had long since formed quite a large scale of resources. The resources they had were not to be underestimated.
[I'm the one admiring you. Over the past five years since the game was launched, no one has dared to act as such a huge stumbling block to Class One Hall alone! You even dealt such a huge blow to Class One Hall! And you even dare to attack Blood Alliance at the same time? In all honesty, you're the first person in the Chinese server who dares do that.]
Wandering Know-it-all stopped sending messages for a while, as if he was filled with a great wave of sentiment.
[Originally, I shouldn't try to stop you or say anything when you exact revenge on Blood Alliance and Class One Hall, because they've been contacting Wild Wolves. But this time, after you destroyed Sky Demon Branch, Wild Wolves will definitely have noticed your strength, and they will definitely be paying close attention to you. If you continue attacking Blood Alliance and Class One Hall and display more of your strength, it will not be good for your future development. I hope that you understand this.]
Happy wrote nothing in reply. When he read Wandering Know-it-all's sincere reminder, Happy thought about this quietly for a while. [You want to persuade me to stop?]
[I'm not trying to persuade you to stop, but I hope that you can slow down on your act of taking revenge for now.]
[Why?]
[Because I, too, want to deal a blow to Class One Hall and Blood Alliance, but there's an even more important enemy behind their backs, and I have to think a little more. Right now, the people in Wild Wolves are very mysterious to us outsiders. But I believe that once you don't display more astonishing feats, our enemies will think they know about the limits of your strength.]
[Are you saying that you want me to remain mysterious for now?] Happy replied very quickly.
Wandering Know-it-all said, [That's right. The more you hide your strength, the less easy that makes for your enemies to defeat you. I think that you have the potential to become the second One Emperor and turn into another legend in the Chinese server.]
[You praise me too much.]
[I'm not praising you too much. This is a real feeling I have. At the very least, right now, One Emperor might not be able to kill thousands of elites as easily as you did. You're similar to One Emperor, but the paths you take ar
e completely different.
[One Emperor is a lone mountain that people fear and respect when they see him. He's positioned at a very high position, so much so that he can pierce the heavens if he wants. But you give others the feeling that you're a sword that has been sharpened. However, the enemy that you face is as unfathomable as an ocean.]
[...You're talking about Evil Emperor?]
[Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art is a supreme classic from the evil cult. One Emperor once told me that even if he understood the twelfth and thirteenth slash, he still did not have complete confidence that he could defeat Evil Emperor.]
Happy's expression changed slightly. He wrote nothing in return.
[With your strength, it's only a matter of time before you seriously decide to attack Blood Alliance and Class One Hall, but if you give Wild Wolves enough time to understand you and once they work together, you might not be able to take revenge as smoothly as you want to.]
Happy thought about this carefully and found that there was a reason behind Wandering Know-it-all's worries.
Today, since Wild Wolves could use the Killer Star effect to hide in the Chinese server for a month and not allow Wandering Know-it-all to notice them, then in the future, Evil Emperor himself could absolutely appear in the Chinese server without a single sign. He could even appear in front of Happy himself.
By the looks of it, he had indeed been a little too flashy over the past period of time.
Wandering Know-it-all seemed to have noticed that Happy's thoughts seemed to be changing through Happy's silence. His letter arrived once more.
[Right now, I'm concealing you, and you can avoid Class One Hall and Blood Alliance, but you might not be able to hide from the Prophet. If you continue to act as aggressively and conspicuously as you are acting right now, Wild Wolves will definitely pay great attention to your actions and dig out your full strength bit by bit. But now, if you start laying low and maintain a mysterious air, perhaps your situation will change. Consider this a friendly reminder from your ally.]
Wandering Know-it-all's words could actually be considered rather cautious and tentative. He was also rather tactful in his words, because he had not been in contact with Happy for long.
