Chapter 856: Priest Xi Yin

People will need to change to adapt to situations.

Even though Happy was currently ranked among the top in the world, but due to the countless examples he saw during the three years in his previous life, he was alerted of something.

Never, ever become dissociated with the main characters in the game.

Even if he was really good, there were always people who were superior to him in the game.

In his previous life, there were plenty of great players who quickly died after they showed themselves briefly. Then, they will have to go through a long period of time being nameless, and in fact, there were even those who never had the chance to show their talents again.

Hence, even though the quest Shi Feixuan gave him this time provided no points or any other substantial reward, Happy still did not dare treat it lightly or be negligent about it.

Over the past two days, Happy had already gained a vague idea of what the event was.

This time, the main task for their event at the borders was the war during the day. It was the world for the military rank system and soldiers.

But at night, all sorts of people will show up. The plains will become the battlefield for countless martial art elites to vie for power. And perhaps, there might be a lot of hidden quests as well.

If he cast aside all the plot-relevant quests because he was too focused on points, he might lose something great because he was too focused on the small things.

Hence, he immediately sent letters to Silver Wolf and Thunderous Battle to tell them to rest and reorganize at the camp. Then, Happy and Shi Feixuan moved together, and they headed to the depths of the plains.

*****

Dozens of corpses twisted in bizarre positions were strewn all over the plains, some were even stacked over each other. It was like hell on earth. Each corpse on the ground had their bones cracked on every inch, and they were like torn rag dolls thrown haphazardly on the ground with torn limbs that were never to be connected with their body again. If anyone took a close look, it will not be difficult for them to discover that each dead person’s face was twisted in such a manner that their face cannot be seen clearly anymore. It was clear that before they died, they endured pain that a normal person would not be able to go through, and they passed away in endless suffering.

And all their suffering seemed to be inflicted by a middle-aged man with average looks.

He only had a medium build, and he was dressed in a very normal looking long robe.

His hair was turning gray a little, causing him to hide a little of his subdued but still mighty presence. He raised his chin a little and stared at the direction of the Chinese army from the distance while his eyes shone with a slightly sinister light. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Behind the person were two men and one woman. They did not even dare breathe loudly as they stared at his back, and they did not dare let their gaze linger on him too long either.

“Martial Uncle Xi, you scared the friends I brought over.”

Her voice was charming and attractive, and there was a faint, phantasmal tone that did not seem to even be there in her voice. It instantly broke the silence between them, and at the same time, the attention from the two men and one woman were directed from the middle-aged man to another side.

It was the Witch, Wan Wan.

She will never be absent when the evil cult showed up.

She was like an elf at night. Her curvaceous and alluring body gave off a charm that others will find hard to resist while she was shrouded by the dark night.

The two men widened their eyes and eagerly wanted to have their eyes glued on Wan Wan’s face under her veil so that they can admire her beauty thoroughly.

As for the woman, she had red hair and gave off a seductive air, which was something that was very characteristic of those who walked down the wicked path. At that moment, she used a tentative but jealous gaze to stare at Wan Wan.

As her junior sister, even though she knew that Wan Wan was only a character in the game and even though she knew that Wan Wan’s Great Sky Demon Art had already reached a level where she surpassed even her mistress, Zhu Yuyan, when she saw that her senior brothers’ eyes were practically glued on Wan Wan’s body, she was still unable to hide the nature that was characteristic of a woman.

The middle-aged man could not help but release an awe-inspiring huff.

“Hmph! Wan Wan, stop trying to use your Great Sky Demon Art in front of me. Also, what’s the point of you bring these three people along?”

When the two men and woman heard this, they froze, but they could only smile wryly and not dare show any signs of displeasure.

The purple-haired man and red-haired woman were naturally the Twin Female and Male Demons, the evil cult successors who recently rose to fame. As for the other one, he came from Mongolia, and he was the strongest player from the Mongolian server, Ralston.

“Martial Uncle Xi, listen to what you’re saying. Those from the younger generation should always come out and see the world, or else, they will never be presentable. That will not be good to the evil cult.”

While she spoke softly, Wan Wan’s gaze landed on Ralston, who was built and very large.

“Martial Uncle Zhao caused a huge ruckus this time, and the Chinese army will have definitely noticed it, which means that they will send people over to check their reconnoiterers, but we don’t know just how strong that person is just yet. Why don’t you avoid the place for a while and let me as well as these juniors check just how strong the Chinese martial artists are? If we can’t handle the situation, we’ll let you come out and fight.”

Xi Yin pondered about this for a while. His eyes sparkled, and he nodded. “That’s good, too.”

In truth, he was also a little diffident to the thought of fighting against the Chinese martial artists.

Even though he was a Myth Realm martial artist and was the sect teacher and leader of Affective Annihiliation Dao, the evil cultists were always selfish and will regard their own safety above anything else. He moved and vanished from the spot.

The two men and woman only saw Xi Yin move and quickly vanish without a trace into the darkness. Their expression instantly changed.

The red-haired woman took a step forward.

“Senior sister, what if the Chinese martial artists send a very powerful fighter over and we can’t handle that person?”

The Mongolian, Ralston said nothing at first when he heard this. He just had the corners of his lips curl up quietly and turned it into a cold sneer. “If you’re scared, leave.”

The purple-haired man glared at him in a foul mood. A faint and black qi flow quickly formed on his palm. “Shut your trap! Do you think that the Chinese martial artists are like you and are all jacks of all trades? I’m telling you, any person on Dragon Rank in the Chinese server can defeat you.”

The red-haired woman also stared at Ralston hostilely.

“Is it?” Ralston moved his sturdy body, which was as built as an iron tower. Each step he took made it seem as if the power of a thousand tonnes was contained in him, and he gave off a very steady feeling, making it seem as if he cannot be pushed down.

“Why don’t we fight? Whoever loses will back down from this quest.” Ralston grinned.

“Do you think I’m scared of you?!” The purple-haired man had already perfectly finished forming a black seal. Waves of demonic aura rolled off him, and his ferocity as well as aggression were completely revealed.

When she saw that the two men were about to start fighting because their opinions differed, Wan Wan moved in between them at the opportune moment.

“Alright, stop. You and the lass are both part of the evil cult, and Ralston is Hu Bilie’s greatest warrior. We’re all on the same side, don’t disturb the harmony between us now.”

Right when she finished speaking, the four people heard clear gallops coming from the slope far behind them. A few torches illuminated around ten Chinese martial artists, allowing the four to see these people.

The person in the lead had a face as smooth as jade, was incredibly handsome, and also possessed an extraordinary presence. The people behind him seemed like his subordinates. They were all built and also possessed outstanding presences.

The Twin Female and Male Demons had their expressions change slightly. They seemed to have recognized the status of the handsome man on the horse.

The group of people rushed near Wan Wan and her group, and their eyes lit up.

“Wan Wan?!”

“A Mongolian…”

The group of people made their horses stop. They were first stunned before they looked at each other and laughed.

“Haha! Look at us, we’ve been out hunting for you everywhere, but now, you just came right in front of our doorstep!”
