Sword Among Us c1-1268

  "That's right. That's why we decided to turn their trick against them and lure them to attack first! We originally thought that Wild Wolves would reveal themselves as well, but I did think that they would also vanish without a trace once Class One Hall left. No major accidents happened during the wedding."

  "I didn't expect that Class One Hall would actually dare to be in cahoots with Wild Wolves. Serves them right that they are set up this time."

  "Clan master, how do you intend to deal with Class One Hall?"

  "I will have to ask for your help in this!"

  "Come now, clan master, you're embarrassing me. Dream Clouds is ambitious, and she actually worked together with Wild Wolves. Forget about the fact that we have already sworn that the four great sects will share all hardsh.i.p.s and wealth together, the fact that we stand on the side of justice in the Chinese server alone is already enough for us to be unable to ignore Dream Clouds luring a wolf into our den!"

  "Count Wind and Rain Alliance into the march to West Region!" Night Rain Follows Rain declared firmly.

  When Wind Void saw that the other two stated their stance before her, she frowned a little. "Chivalry Sect has already become mortal enemies with Class One Hall ever since the battle at Eternal Peace Temple. We will definitely fight with everything we have against Class One Hall."

  "The journey to West Region is long, and if we don't have absolute advantage, it's difficult to destroy Class One Hall in one go, but now, with your help, I can be at ease." Happy put on an act of sighing in relief before he changed his tone. "But I'm afraid that I won't be able to join this war."

  The three sect masters were stunned. "Why?"

  "I recently received a very urgent plot-related quest, and I have to leave for a period of time. It's quite long, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to personally join the war.

  "But don't worry, aside from keeping a handful of top-class elites to defend Beijing and the headquarters, Mu Clan will send out Silver Wolf, Rampaging Dragon, Responsible Hero, Little North, Wind Chimes, and a large number of people. In fact, even Wandering Know-it-all has stated that he has convinced One Emperor to join the war."

  When the trio heard this, the uneasiness they felt in their hearts was completely gone.

  "I see. With Silver Wolf and Responsible Hero serving as our garrisons and our own aces, it'll be enough for us to destroy Class One Hall in West Region, even if they've stationed themselves over there."

  "But One Emperor has never joined the war between sects. Why did he agree to join this fight? Could it be that One Emperor intends to join Mu Clan?" Phantasmal Shadow asked curiously.

  "If One Emperor joins us, it'll be the same as Mu Clan gaining a pair of wings. Unfortunately, he's just joining the war this time because he doesn't want to see Wild Wolves infiltrating the Chinese server. That's the only reason he decided to attack." Happy smiled and explained.

  "As expected, One Emperor is indeed a chivalrous swordsman in the Chinese world of martial artists!"

  The trio had their questions answered once more.

  Then, they quickly switched the topic to the time they should send their forces to West Region.

  *****

  They discussed this for more than an hour before Happy sent Wind Void, Phantasmal Shadow, and Night Rain Follows Wind away.

  Only Happy and Young Yu Yan were left in the pavilion.

  Young Yu Yan sat down slowly, and she leaned against Happy's c.h.e.s.t in exhaustion while she was still dressed in red. Her voice was gentle and frail. "Happy, after this war is over, the Chinese server will be in complete peace, and there will be at least half a year where no one will think about affecting Mu Clan's foundation. With this period of time, you can be at ease and settle matters over there."

  "You should be calling me husband by now."

  "My dear husband." Xu Xin was abnormally gentle and obedient today. She glared at him a little. "But don't forget about increasing your strength over here. You're no longer the only person in Moksha Realm. Once Moksha Realm becomes a common sight and you only have Flying Dragon Sword Technique, more people will come and challenge you."

  "Don't worry, I will train here as well. I won't let anyone catch up to me. Besides, my qi has already gone over the one thousand point mark, even though it's just a little. I'm not that too far off from Inaction Realm, and no one can catch up to me within a short period of time."

  Compared to Xu Xin worriedly giving him advice, Happy was not worried about this in the slightest.

  If he could catch up to the others even though they had one and a half years' time ahead of him, there was no way anyone could catch up to him here when he had an advantage over them!

  Even if he did not have Marrow Cleansing Classic over here, the advantage provided to him by Nine Yang Divine Skill was already very terrifying, and his strength was not that much weaker compared to the version of himself three years later.

  Besides…

  Happy smiled mysteriously, "Once I go back to Beijing, I'm going to a place to search for a martial arts manual."

  "Martial arts manual? Could it be…?" Xu Xin soon guessed the answer, and her eyes lit up. "Dafo Temple?"

  "Smart girl." Happy praised Xu Xin without holding back. "I accidentally ran into that quest in the world three years later, and I was a little late, so I only obtained Full Winds in Long Skies. Shi Feixuan took one among the other three stone plates, and Evil King took the last two. If I can get all four stone plates and understand all the ultimate techniques from the divine monk from Dafo Temple, even if Evil Emperor comes at me at the peak of his strength, he will not be able to stand against me."

  "But how are you going to trigger that quest?" Xu Xin furrowed her eyebrows in an adorable fashion.

  Happy could not hold back from lowering his head to use his nose to bump against hers a little. He smiled and said, "Have you forgotten about Wandering Know-it-all's job?"

  Xu Xin opened her mouth slightly, and she immediately understood what Happy meant.

  Aside from looking for people, Wandering Know-it-all's other greatest ability was to figure out further hints of plot-related quests through some clues in the quest.

  It was also because of this ability that he helped countless heroes in the world of martial artists get through difficulties, which allowed him to gain a transcendent status.

  With Wandering Know-it-all's help and what Happy learned three years later, he was confident that he could get a rather great reward when he went to Dafo Temple.

  Chapter 1076 - Three Wolves Are All Here

  Compared to the world over devising proper strategies to fight against Class One Hall and Wild Wolves, the world three years later was a complete mess. He did not have a powerful force backing him up, and he was alone. If he made even a single mistake, he would fall into hell.

  When he returned to the world three years later, Happy immediately logged out of the pay-to-view battle replay system. When he opened his eyes on his bed, he saw three familiar faces smiling as they sat and spoke to Xu Yao and Young Yi. When they noticed the movement from the bed, all five stopped talking at the same time and looked over.

  Silence.

  Six pairs of eyes met each other in the air, and four people had warmth flow in their eyes at the same time.

  Time seemed to have stopped at that moment, and no one spoke.

  Happy put down his helmet and got up slowly from his bed. There was surprise and delight on his face. "When did you come over?"

  Chen Fan, Bai Lang, and Qi Ci stood up at the same time, and they started laughing in a manner that completely destroyed their image.

  "What the heck? I thought that you would be so excited that you would start bawling when you see us after not meeting us for nearly two years."

  "How does it feel to sleep for more than one year?"

  "...Screw you." Happy smiled and got up from his bed. In a show of great teamwork, four arms knocked against each other with great force. Then, all four boys hugged each other tigh
tly.

  "I knew that you'd definitely not be defeated so easily after you persisted in suffering for three years to stand at a height we can never hope to reach."

  A punch landed on Happy's c.h.e.s.t, but he did not budge even an inch. "You recovered pretty well. Our sister-in-law helped you replenish your nutrients, huh?"

  "Nonsense, of course she is!"

  "Heh! Brat, aren't you being conceited?"

  "Sister-in-law, be honest. Did this guy bully you when he woke up? If he did, while we still haven't left yet, tell us. We'll teach him a lesson."

  Xu Yao and Young Yi watched the four men use their fists to describe their friendship during their student days, and there were smiles on their faces. In a show of great sense, they decided not to b.u.t.t into the friendly atmosphere and destroy it.

  "You're leaving?" Happy captured bits and pieces of information from Bai Lang's words. His smile faded away, and he asked in a seemingly relaxed tone, "We've just gotten together, and you're saying you're leaving. Where are you going?"

  "It's Chen Fan. Soon after we graduated, he managed to marry Shanshan. Right now, his kid can already help with chores." Qi Ci pointed a finger at a certain person who looked incredibly blissful. "This time, he came over here to rent an apartment near the University of South China for a few months, and if he doesn't go back soon, Shanshan might run away with another man."

  "Off with it." Chen Fan unceremoniously gave Qi Ci a hook.

  While the two of them settled their grudge, Bai Lang pushed the bridge of his glasses.

  "Happy, as your brothers, we've come over here to visit you a few times over the past one and a half years, but during the previous times, you always had your eyes shut, and you were incredibly quiet. At that time, I was saying that once you wake up, you will definitely make up for the one and a half years you lost and cause a ruckus. As expected, you managed to do it. This time, even though Class One Hall managed to win, you can't give up! You have to continue fighting against them, and you'll be considered to have helped us let off some steam."

  "I will." Happy's tone changed, and he stared at the trio. "When are you leaving?"

  "We bought flight tickets for the plan two hours later."

  The trio looked at each other and smiled wanly. "We were originally thinking about coming over here yesterday, but you were fighting in Beijing yesterday, and you scared us. At that time, we thought that something would change."

  When he heard this, Happy instantly fell silent.

  He understood now.

  In truth, the trio had never given up on fighting against Class One Hall. However, once Class One Hall and Wild Wolves worked together, all the organizations and sects who fought against Class One Hall and helped Wind Assault Tower were destroyed, and no hope could be seen in the cities, which was why they decided to leave the University of South China and return to their original lives of staying in the cities.

  "What about Tea Words and the rest?"

  Happy might be prepared to create a brand new force belonging to him in the Chinese server because of Xu Xin's suggestion, but in truth, he did not intend to drag this group of friends who went through thick and thin with him down again, because the situation in the Chinese server over here was too bad. Unless they were as strong as him and One Emperor, the risk was just too great for them if they had to develop while facing the great threat from Class One Hall. Hence, he asked this question quietly.

  Chen Fan said in resignation, "Tea Words is still at Dragon's Gate. He intends to work together with Head Hunters with his skill in lip reading. Right now, aside from you, perhaps he's the only in Beautiful Robes Faction who can have a place to stand in the game."

  Bai Lang and Qi Ci continued remaining silent.

  Those words were true.

  In Dragon's Gate, quite a number of Beautiful Robes Faction's members had been noticed by Blood Alliance and Class One Hall once more because of them exposing themselves.

  Right now, Class One Hall had already completely controlled the entire Chinese server. These people would not be safe no matter where they went, and there were only a handful who could remain while gasping for their last breaths.

  "Once you go back, send word on my behalf to the others."

  Happy's serious tone caught the trio off guard. They had stern expressions appear on their faces, and they listened quietly.

  "Go on."

  Happy s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath. Then, with a slow but solemn tone, he said, "This time, even though Class One Hall and Wild Wolves won, I haven't given up. Wind Assault Tower hasn't given up. One Emperor and Wandering Know-it-all are also still on our side."

  Bai Lang frowned. "But Wind Assault Tower only has around thirty branches left. I heard that Class One Hall has already stated that they will destroy the remaining thirty or so branches from Wind Assault Tower within the next twenty-four hours so that it will turn completely into a relic of the past."

  "No matter what happens in the end, we will definitely not give up! That's why I'm begging you to tell the others to not give up. Give me three months at the very least. If the situation at the Chinese server has not changed for the better by then, it's not too late to give up by then."

  Qi Ci nodded. "Since you've said that, I promise you that once I go back, I will continue paying attention to this matter. I don't want the Chinese server to fall into Dream Clouds and Evil Emperor's hands just like that."

  "That's right."

  "But you might not necessarily have a good time. Evil Emperor and Class One Hall have too many elites. It's hard for you to turn the tables with just you and a crippled Wind Assault Tower."

  "Don't worry. I have a plan."

  Happy's words finally caused the group to have hope, and they were interested in the topic. After all, there were still two hours left before they had to board their plan. Xu Yao helped them shut the door and gave them a space to talk about this in detail.

  "What do you intend to do?"

  "As of now, I don't have a detailed plan just yet. The most important thing for me to do is to help Phantasmal Shadow and Wind Assault Tower break out of the encirclement and rush out of Beijing."

  "Class One Hall and the twelve sects' headquarters are in Beijing. It's necessary for Phantasmal Shadow to break out if she wants Wind Assault Tower to survive. But Dream Clouds will definitely have been keeping a lookout on this."

  Happy smiled and said confidently, "It's useless even if she has been keeping a lookout. When we're outside Beijing, not everything will go along as Dream Clouds plans."

  *****

  Once he discussed things in detail with the Three Lonely Wolves, the trio left the hospital with hope and anticipation in their hearts.

  Happy did not send them off.

  Just as the trio had said, the Chinese server was in a perilous situation right now, and since he wasted some time in the other world, Wind Assault Tower only had around thirty branches left.

  Even though saving those branches had no direct relationship with him, Wind Assault Tower had indeed entered a critical moment where they had to fight with every second they had. If he did not seize time to help them break out of Beijing, the destruction of the last branch will mean that Wind Assault Tower will be completely destroyed and only be a page in history.

  That moment was something Happy did not want to see.

  When he returned to the game, Happy could already sense the tense atmosphere based on the cuckoos from the dozen pigeons on his shoulder. That atmosphere was completely different from the other world.

  [Happy, have you thought about it? Signed, Phantasmal Shadow]

  [We don't have much time. If you have made your decision, contact me immediately. Signed, Phantasmal Shadow]

  [You're not online yet? When you are, contact me. Signed, Phantasmal Shadow]

  The tone in Phantasmal Shadow's letters were each more urgent than the last. It could be seen that she had already decided to place all the hope of breaking out on Happy.

  Happy f
rowned, but he did not reply immediately.

  [I'm Wandering Know-it-all. Evil Emperor has been training in the plains to the east of Beijing. He might have predicted that we will definitely use the river to make a break. We've decided to set the location of us getting into the river somewhere in the south instead of near the port.]

  [It's still me. The situation has changed, and it's really bad. Ji Feng, one of the sect masters of the four sects, has managed to persuade a sect master, and they've launched a breakout just now, but when he managed to make it out of Beijing by less than six miles, he was intercepted and killed. More than ten thousand died on the spot, and the remaining twenty thousand did forced logged offs. There are more than fifty thousand Class One Hall members who locked down the area where they logged off.]

  Happy was stunned silent. When he read this, he felt that the frown on his face had deepened.

  'Seriously, these people just make me continue to be full of worry. Ji Feng might be a little smart, but he's clearly not very useful when it comes to the whole picture. It's no wonder why his fame has been decreasing over the past two years.'

  [Happy, I'm One Emperor. Wind Assault Tower can't last for much longer. If you have a specific plan and you need me, just say the word.]

  The remaining letters came from Dream Clouds and Evil Emperor.

  These two people had still not given up on trying to draw him to their side. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/sword-among-us_13772664505174105/three-wolves-are-all-here_49621834139747973 for visiting.

  The former took a fancy to Happy's strength because he was as strong as Evil Emperor. The latter took a fancy to Happy's potential. Each wanted to bring him to Class One Hall and Evil Emperor respectively.

  Happy chose to ignore Dream Clouds and Evil Emperor's letters. He thought about this for a moment before he replied to Wandering Know-it-all and asked him to tell him about the situation in Beijing in detail.

  Then, Happy wrote a letter to One Emperor. [Are you interested in killing some people outside Beijing? You know the location…]
