Chapter 904: Wandering Universal Eight Trigrams Souls VS Bright Sword Technique
“Do Jin?”
Happy was not very familiar with that name, but when he heard that the person just proclaim that he came from Goryeo, he instantly smiled coldly and looked in the direction where the voice came from. There were too few elites Goryeo can possibly bring out, and the only ones that were worth any value were from Bright Sword Sect.
“I am Do Jin from Goryeo’s Bright Sword Sect. I’ve heard of your fame as the strongest player in the Chinese server, and I came from the distance, hoping that you will give me your instructions.”
A light whistle rose, and a figure with extraordinary lightness skill shot out from above the crowd on the mountain trail. On the way, he will even use the Shaolin Temple disciples’ shoulders and heads to assist him in his jumps. While he flew over, his moves might be natural and unrestrained, but he still caused a lot of people to cry out in surprise and anger.Even Happy could not help but frown a little when he saw Do Jin come to him in such a reckless manner.
There were plenty of conceited and arrogant people in the Chinese plains, but perhaps only this foolish Korean will dare to act in such a presumptuous and reckless manner in front of the Shaolin Temple disciples.
He landed with his body slightly bent.
Do Jin was not just arrogant, he also liked to show off.
When he used a person at the back of the crowd to perform his last assisted jump, he tumbled a few times in the air before he landed on the empty spot across Happy steadily and in an exceptionally graceful manner.
He held his longsword and stared at Happy arrogantly.
It had to be said that this foreigner did have very great talent when it came to performing. If normal female players were here, they will definitely let out some ignorant screams because of his dazzling entrance.But unfortunately for him, this was Shaolin Temple.
Everyone in this place were boys, and there might only be one girl here, and she was Xu Xin, who stood behind Happy in the pavilion. At that moment, Xu Xin was staring at this conceited boy with a strange gaze.
The amazed effect Do Jin wished to create did not appear.
Instead, countless gazes with restrained anger were gathered on him.
Do Jin said nothing. When he sensed the atmosphere around him, he found the situation a little unexpected. His opponent in his trip this time also used a very strange gaze to stare in the direction of the mountain trail. Do Jin felt a little humiliated. He thought that Happy did not know how famous he was, and he raised his chin arrogantly. “I am Goryeo’s Do Jin, and I am one of the people ranked on the International Influential Rank of the Strong.”
“The first phrase is enough.” Happy finally looked away, smiled, and said, “It has only been awhile since the Prophet posted the ranking, and you’re all in such a hurry to use his ranking board to boast about yourselves. You aren’t that famous yet, you know?”
“Haha!”
The grave expressions the Shaolin Temple disciples originally had because they were shocked by Do Jin’s fame faded away, and they laughed loudly.
But Do Jin was not an idiot, and there was no way he can not decipher the mocking and insulting tone in Happy’s words. He pointed his longsword at Happy. “Enough with the nonsense. Today, I came for you! Do you dare take up my challenge?! Yes or no?!”
“Today is the day I kill and offer up wine as a sacrifice. I will agree to your challenges no matter how many of you come. Since you are someone Class One Hall hired, where is Dream Clouds? She only sent you here but doesn’t want to show her face? Or does she not dare to show her face?”
Right when he finished speaking, a cold, sharp, and awe-inspiring voice came out from the crowd.
“Since we made an agreement to meet, there is no way I will not dare to show up.”
Countless people looked over, and they saw Dream Clouds dressed in full armor. She walked forward in the path the crowd parted for her with noble air. More Class One Hall members surged up the mountain trail behind her.
“Hiss…” The Shaolin Temple disciples sucked in sharp breaths.
“What’s going on today?”
Hundreds of Class One Hall elites, Happy, and Wei Zhentian, an elite on the International Great People Rank appeared at the same time at Mount Song. They originally found this strange before they were immersed in the fight between two top-class elites.
But now, even Class One Hall’s master, Dream Clouds personally appeared, and she came with Do Jin, a famous player who claimed himself to be on the International Influential Rank of the Strong.
Then, when they linked all this with Happy’s statement of killing and making a wine offering as well as the fact that Class One Hall was fighting against the four sects everywhere in the north, a number of them sucked in sharp breaths, and they were able to understand some of the hidden meaning in this in their silence.
There was a high chance that Class One Hall led a large group of people into Shaolin Temple to fight a bloody, final battle against Happy.
When they thought of this, many people knew that the tragedy that befell the Shaolin Temple during the Emperor’s Birthday event will repeat itself. Mount Song was about to be drenched in blood again!
*****
“Clan Master Happy, I came here to ask you a question.” Dream Clouds walked on the stage and stood in front of Happy.
Happy did not see the enthusiastic and awe-inspiring look he often saw on Dream Clouds’ face in his previous life. Now, in its place, was an indifference that was holding back a wave of madness.
“This time, just how much does Mu Clan intend to go?”
As expected of the leader of the strongest sect in the north. Even if she already died multiple times in Happy’s hands, she still managed to sound sharp and awe-inspiring when she spoke.
“Hall Master Dream, your wording is a bit off.” Happy took a step forward nonchalantly. “All of this is indeed my plan, but I am an honest man who does not do anything underhanded. Hall Master Dream, you’ve set up a net that surrounds us from everywhere on the road the four sects will take to return. Are you saying that you intend to line up along the road and send us off?”
“You—”
“It’s better if we don’t say any unnecessary nonsense.” Happy interrupted Dream Clouds’ explanation. “During the battle at the plains, you have already long since tore off the last semblance of friendliness between us and your hall. Fight against us with your hall members and your best. Stop using all your false displays of cordiality to maintain this superficial harmony. After Beautiful Robes Faction was destroyed, I’ve already endured this long enough, and I don’t intend to continue tolerating your presence.”
Dream Clouds said nothing. Her expression turned even darker.
She could hear an underlying meaning from Happy’s words, and it was one that she still did not have the time to truly accept.
Hence, she immediately decided to make her voice sound cold. “Then, based on what you’re saying, from today onwards, Class One Hall and Mu Clan will be like fire and water, and we will fight publicly as enemies!”
“No,” Happy smiled and answered.
But before Dream Clouds could relax, his next sentence caused her expression to freeze. “It’s not today. Since yesterday, we’ve already stood across each other as mortal enemies.”
“Haha! Very well!” Dream Clouds was so angry that she started laughing. “Since you’ve already made your decision, I will play along with you! All hundreds of thousands of elites from Class One Hall are in the north of the Chinese plains, and I have never feared anyone when I fought in this place.”
She stopped talking for a moment. Her gaze turned cold, and she let out a bark of laughter. “Do you know why I was late just now?”
When she heard this, Happy fell silent.
Dream Clouds saw the slightly unnatural look on Happy’s face, and the smile she had been suppressing for a long time finally bloomed on her. “Do you think that I will panic and be at a loss just because the people from the four sects split up to attack me? Let me tell you, all the people you have in your command are already being monitored by my people. They’re currently still safe because my people are waiting for my orders.”
Happy said nothing.
But he expected this. His worries were verified at that moment. He knew that even though he managed to gain the initiative on the first night, Dream Clouds still had the Prophet supporting her back, and he was someone who can break the concealment effect on players within a short period of time.
After one night, there must be some people who have already fallen into Dream Clouds’ control!
But this was to be expected.
It was impossible to have a complete win if they fought against a large organization who can control the flow of information. Happy can only try his best to reduce the number of his elites dying.
Which was why he had everyone split up to do whatever they needed to do.
He believed that with the Prophet’s speed, he will not cast all his attention on the Chinese server, because he needed to focus on other servers as well. At most, he can help Dream Clouds figure out three to five of his friends’ locations.
“Since you’ve already decided to declare war, there’s no longer any need for me to continue keeping these thieves alive.” She turned her head around and made a signal. Happy quickly noticed that a familiar figure in the crowd swiftly released two messenger pigeons.
When he saw this, Happy’s heart tensed, but it immediately relaxed.
If there were only two messenger pigeons, it meant that she only figured out two batches of people.
It was much fewer than he expected.
Happy said nothing.
“Don’t worry, Happy, even though we didn’t manage to find a lot of your people, my people will definitely treat them well. We will definitely find all of your people, Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, as well as Wind and Rain Alliance’s people.”
Happy knew that Dream Clouds was not lying in this regard.
After all, they were in the north. She can easily investigate many of the places that can hide people.
However, Mu Clan had already been prepared for this a long time ago. Regardless of which group of people she found, with the places they hid and the environment they were in, they will definitely cause Class One Hall to pay a huge price while they fought against them.
This was something where Dream Clouds will still not be able to gain an upper hand over him.
Also, the leaders of the groups all had Illusion Life and Death Pills. Hence, not only will there not be a reduction to the fighting members in Mu Clan, Class One Hall will instead need to send even more people to monitor them, or else, they will become sharp knives that will enter deep into enemy territory!
There were more than five thousand people who stayed in the north, and more than two thousand had also snuck in.
Class One Hall will need around fifty thousand to sixty thousand people, perhaps even more, to monitor and trace them.
If he excluded the ten thousand people who had already basically lost their fighting power after they died and the tens of thousands of people who had not recovered during the battle in the plains, Class One Hall will actually not be able to mobilize a lot of forces.
Besides, if Dream Clouds had to mobilize her forces, she will have to mobilize those who were at the defense line.
Happy did not know whether Dream Clouds thought of this, but when he decided on the operation, he had long since planned everything. Class One Hall might seem strong and had a lot of powerful soldiers, but in truth, it was just an injured beast. As long as they can last through this beast’s fiercest and crazed attack, it will walk to its own destruction slowly.
“Alright, are you two done talking?”
Do Jin, who had been ignored for a long time by the crowd, was finally unable to hold himself back from letting out an enraged roar. He pointed his longsword at Happy and challenged him again. “Your enmity has nothing to do with me, but I will be taking your head.”
“Did Miss Son of Samsung Group send you here?” Happy suddenly turned his head around and asked at that moment.
“Hmph, so you still remember this?” A cold expression flashed on Do Jin’s face. “I thought that you would have forgotten about killing one frail girl, since you kill so many people everyday.”
Happy did not respond to Do Jin’s complaints. He just nodded and said with an indifferent tone, “You’re different from Wei Zhentian…”
“Don’t compare me with that person who doesn’t deserve his title,” Do Jin stated with a scornful expression.
A chilly look flashed in Happy’s eyes.
“Is that so?” he mumbled and put away his Dragon Saber, which attracted countless people’s gazes, into his Universe Saber.
“How about this? I will use Wei Zhentian’s martial art against you, and let’s see whether you truly have the right to be conceited.”
