Dragon’s Gate might have no walls and was a place that not even government officials could interfere and control completely, but that did not mean that the place was a lawless and chaotic society. If that were the case, Dragon’s Gate Bodyguard Agency would not have been able to station themselves in this place for so long.

Due to Dragon’s Gate Bodyguard Agency’s past feats, the righteous and evil paths could both get along with each other. Hence, not only did a wandering martial artist who was at Myth Realm serve as a garrison over here, there was also a Myth Realm Golden Saber Constable hidden in this place.

Also, Li Changfeng, the leader of Dragon’s Gate Bodyguard Agency, was already an extraordinary Myth Realm elite, and together with the disciples of the sects in the town, they maintained the peace in Dragon’s Gate.

Anyone who dared commit crimes in Dragon’s Gate would mean that they were inciting anger from three different factions of power, and they would have to endure the fate of at least three Myth Realm elites as well countless Inaction Realm martial artists chasing them down.

Hence, this was the true reason why Dragon’s Gate had always been able to maintain good order and a long period of stability even without walls to protect itself.

However, there was a lawless street in Dragon’s Gate.

This place was an area where the three Myth Realm elites had tacitly agreed to be a spot where people could use force to resolve their conflicts. If anyone had an enemy enter Dragon’s Gate, and as long as they agreed to it, both could fight in that place.

And no matter what happened in that area, the three Myth Realm elites would ignore it, just like how they would ignore fights outside the city.

Survival Platform, which was in the lawless street, gained its name because of that.

It had a legend circulating around it: Fight to the death on the platform, and if you survive, your name will ring through the world.

The person who died on Survival Platform would have his reputation completely transferred to the victor. Hence, there was a period of time where many elites loved quickly obtaining Reputation Points from this place so that they could get even more high-class bodyguard quests from Dragon’s Gate Bodyguard Agency.

However, as a small number of top-class elites cast their gazes on this place, the former craze that surrounded Survival Platform seldom appeared anymore.

On this day, a large group of people suddenly appeared at Survival Platform in the lawless street in Dragon’s Gate.

Whoosh.

More than one hundred men in silver warrior clothes walked in the streets in Dragon’s Gate with steady footsteps, cold gazes, and without uttering a single word.

That group moved like ghosts who made no sound when their feet were planted on the ground.

There was no emblem of any sect on their chests, but their weapons were out of their sheaths, and they gave people a grave and dangerous feeling, as if a storm was coming.

Survival Platform was a large, empty ground in the shape of a huge eight trigrams chart. It was built corresponding to the eight main streets in Dragon’s Gate.

At the moment the silver-robed people exited the street and arrived at Survival Platform, they stopped in a neat row and did not take a step forward.

Wind blew past them, but not a single person’s robe blew up.

The group was so quiet that it was terrifying.

This was a place where players would frequently pass by on usual days.

When they saw this, many people realized what was going on, and they looked surprised. They held their breaths and moved around them or got out of lawless street before they stood still in the nearby streets while they sized up these people.


Who are these people…?



Are they waiting for someone here?



Who knows?


Quite a number of players passing by the area discussed with each other.

At that moment, the people at the southeast street noticed that there was disorder behind them.

They turned their heads around to look, and the group instantly sucked in sharp breaths. They subconsciously moved to the side.

A dense group of Class One Hall members had appeared behind them at some point of time, and they were moving to Survival Platform.

Their weapons were drawn, their breathing was steady, and they carried with them an incredibly desolate but extremely determined presence!

Similar situations appeared on the other streets at the same time as well.

Blood Alliance’s elites!

Members from Heaven’s Music Sect!

There were also people with no emblems around them. They quietly surrounded the area from a few directions, and just like the other groups before them, they gathered at Survival Platform.


What are they doing?



Hush, the atmosphere isn’t right. Don’t say anything, just watch.


A number of people could already sniff a cold and grave killing intent in the air, and they sent private messages to their companions so that they would shut up.


Happy! Come out!



We’ve been waiting for a long time at Dragon’s Gate!



Don’t you want to take revenge?!


The other group of people who came later did not immediately enter Survival Platform. Instead, while they walked around, they shouted Happy’s name.

Boom!

All of Dragon’s Gate instantly burst into a ruckus.

Dragon’s Gate had always been a place where various organizations paid great attention to. It was also the greatest spot where information was gathered and spread out.

These people were shouting that they were waiting for Happy in this place, and the meaning behind their words could already be understood even without them saying it.

Some people said nothing, but a few black figures charged out one after another from restaurants.

Slap! Slap!

Even the players who had been resting in the inns were unable to suppress their urge from running out to check what was going on.

Very soon, the people from the eight main streets each arrived at their positions at the eight cardinal directions of Survival Platform.

There were more than one thousand Class One Hall elites, more than two hundred silver-robed people, more than two hundred Heaven’s Music Sect elites, more than two hundred Blood Alliance elites, and they were led to their places by the people from Elder Hall. There was also a group of mysterious people who wore Bamboo Hats and whose faces could not be seen clearly.

In a moment, the lawless street was completely surrounded.

The atmosphere at Survival Platform was heavy, and cold wind blew in the area.


Happy, I know that you can hear me!


At the moment the people gathered together, a loud, awe-inspiring, and proud voice spread in all directions from Survival Platform like a thunderclap.


I, Barren Murderer, will fight against you on Survival Platform today!


The voice issuing the challenge was filled with great qi. It rolled out in waves, and all the people in Dragon’s Gate could hear him clearly.

The people who rushed over from all directions after they heard this felt their hearts tense, and they could not help but run even faster.


Barren Murderer!



Class One Hall’s ex-Vice Hall Master Barren Murderer has come over as well!



Tsk tsk, I heard that this ex-vice hall master has not appeared in the game for a long time after Blood Robes left Class One Hall. This time, he must have egressed because of Happy.



It’s going to be exciting later!



How did they know Happy is in Dragon’s Gate?



Happy is in Dragon’s Gate?!


While discussions rose all around the place and the area became very noisy, more players gathered around Survival Platform.

The roofs in a circular area of 328 feet could no longer accommodate any more people.

If anyone looked down the streets, they would find that there were plenty of people moving about the streets, and the situation inside must be unbearable. The people were all crowding against each other, but there were just too many people in Dragon’s Gate, and no one knew just how long the line was at the back.

But when the players in front saw this grand spectacle in front, they would feel quite proud and satisfied with themselves, and they looked forward to something really happening here later on.


As expected of the people from Class One Hall!
At that moment, a clear voice rose from an unknown spot, and an airy but clear voice crawled into everyone’s ears.


I have the Killer Star effect on me, and I can avoid diviners from locating me, but right when I arrive in Dragon’s Gate, you immediately learn of where I am. It’s no wonder why Wild Wolves would pay such special attention to you. I am truly impressed.


When he reached the later part of his speech, the mocking tone in his words was already very clear.

The group burst into an uproar.

However, Barren Murderer did not let the people have too much time and chance to let their imaginations run wild.


Hmph!
He snorted coldly and interrupted Happy’s tirade. Then, his tone changed when he said his next words,
Since you’re here, why do you keep hiding instead of showing your face?!



That’s right!


A number of Class One Hall members shouted loudly in agreement.


You call yourself a man when you keep hiding?!



Are you afraid?!


Barren Murderer stood in front of Class One Hall’s lineup, and when the huge number of people behind him made a clamor, it made him look incredibly cool.




Vice Hall Master Barren, nicely said!


Happy remained silent for a few seconds. Then, his laughter rang through the air in Dragon’s Gate once more. There was a faint, mocking tone in his voice.


You are indeed Class One Hall! The evaluation you have for me is indeed just!


Me? Hiding? That’s right! My act of destroying Sky Demon Branch that day is indeed something that cannot be publicized, because I attacked you without saying anything to you! Today, I did something even worse. I destroyed two of your branches in Anyang and Shijiazhuang, and after I killed your people, I left. It does cast me under the suspicion of constantly hiding and launching sneak attacks, huh?! I’m not like all of you. Every single time, you just have to come with such a great fanfare, and you have so many people shouting for you! You look so cool, so fierce!


The words in front were still rather neutral, but the people from Class One Hall soon sensed that Happy’s words had slowly changed in its tone, and it was especially so for the final sentence. It had gained an incredibly mocking tone.

The people from Dragon’s Gate could also tell what Happy meant at that moment.

They originally thought that Happy not showing his face was indeed because he did not face them when he saw Class One Hall publicly challenge him.

But now, when they heard Happy’s explanation, they suddenly realized something.

Every time Happy fought against Class One Hall, he always did it alone!

Right now, Class One Hall had decided to cause Happy trouble in Dragon’s Gate, but they had summoned more than one thousand elites here. Anyone who saw this lineup would have fled a long time ago. How would they even dare respond?

When comparing Happy’s act of facing these people alone and Class One Hall’s act of mobilizing a large number of forces, Class One Hall, who had an extraordinarily awe-inspiring presence, was instantly at a disadvantage.

Barren Murderer said nothing.

Even when he stood at the front of the crowd, Barren Murderer could sense the people’s perception of them changing. From their initial expectation and hope for Happy appearing, it changed to them feeling that Class One Hall was despicable and shameless for mobilizing a large number of forces and trying to provoke him to appear so that they could kill him.

The gazes trained on them from the streets became mocking and derisive.


When you attacked our branch at Anyang and Shijiazhuang, weren’t you very powerful? Even I admit that I wouldn’t be able to do such a thing in such a short time. Besides, you’re a top-class elite who can break Ten Thousand Poison Matrix and fight against five Wild Wolves at the same time. I confess, I can’t win against you one on one. If I can make the famous Happy stay where he is because he saw how impressive our lineup is and not dare to show his face, I will feel proud of myself.


Barren Murderer was not an easy man to deal with, considering the fact that he was the ex-vice hall master of Class One Hall.

When it was necessary, he would put himself at a lower position. Because of it, he could change the other people’s opinions.

Many people asked themselves this question.

‘Happy is a top-class elite who can destroy two Class One Hall branches in one day, and he can even make Wild Wolves retreat. Naturally, why should Class One Hall treat him with normal methods?’

Barren Murderer did great.

Not only did he change the negative opinions in the people against Class One Hall, he also shoved Happy back into the fire.

If Happy still did not choose to appear, it would be easy for him to leave behind the impression that he was only a person who could only remain in the dark, launch sneak attacks when Class One Hall was not prepared for him, and was someone who could not fight against Class One Hall’s real elites.

At that moment, the dull sound of air being pushed aside sounded from above the people, and it sounded like a thunderclap.

Many people looked up.

They saw a black shadow of a sword fly above the street, and while the crowd stared at it, it rammed into the center of the lawless street, right where Survival Platform was!

Boom!

A loud sound rose, and it brought with it a domineering air as if declaring that the owner would be the only one fighting against Class One Hall, because no one else could.

The black Recondite Steel Heavy Sword stood at the center of Survival Platform!
