The alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance took the lead in crossing the mercury moat, and in doing so, he got rid of the last worries in the seven elites in the dao of heaven. At the same time, since the alliance master was the first to leave, he broke the balance among the eight people in the dao of heaven in their competition to get the treasures in the desert palace.
Martial Paragon Bi Xuan, the old zither player, Ye Gucheng, Dongfang Bubai, Evil King, and Empress Yin were powerful individuals, and naturally, they would not be willing to have the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance be ahead of them so easily and occupy the treasures all of them want from the desert palace.

The black sandstorm will not last for a long time. Time will not wait for us. Everyone, you can think about things slowly, but I’ll be leaving first.
Martial Paragon Bi Xuan was the person whose strength was the closest to the alliance master. Right now, the alliance master’s arm was injured, and Martial Paragon Bi Xuan was now confident in fighting against him.
However, Bi Xuan’s surviving subordinates became his baggage. If he were to chase after the martial paragon, he had to cast aside these loyal subordinates who had followed him to this place.

Sacrifices are inevitable when you want to achieve great things. Paragon, just leave, as long as we remain alive, we will definitely figure out a way to find you!


That’s right!


Martial Paragon, just leave at ease. We will definitely be alright.

Martial Paragon Bi Xuan’s subordinates spoke firmly and sincerely with righteous ardor, and it was indeed something to be admired.
As he stared at his subordinates, he knew that the determination to serve him until the moment they died had already grown in his subordinates. Bi Xuan looked around with a profound gaze. In the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded before he jumped over the mercury moat without turning around.
When they saw Bi Xuan using almost the same method to safely pass through the lockdown of the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds, Martial Paragon Bi Xuan’s subordinates all looked relaxed and relieved, as if a huge burden had been removed from their shoulders.
But the people beside them could not relax.
After Martial Paragon Bi Xuan left, Dongfang Bubai and Ye Gucheng naturally did not want to be left behind. Without another word, they jumped up and cleared the lockdown of the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds one after another. Then, they vanished from the people’s sights.
In the blink of an eye, half of the eight people in the dao of heaven left.
The ones who remained were Evil King, Empress Yin, Osaya, and the old zither player.
It was only at that moment that Evil King and Empress Yin walked to them and arrived in front of Happy. Behind them were Wan Wan and Hou Xibai.

Is there something you want from me, Sir and Madam?

When Thousand-faced Human Fox noticed Evil King and Empress Yin coming to Happy, he frowned discreetly. He was still a little nervous when he faced these two people in the dao of heaven.
However, in comparison, Osaya and Happy were very calm and relaxed.

You don’t have to be nervous,
Happy comforted Thousand-faced Human Fox.
Even though Evil King and Empress Yin were a pair, when it came to fighting strength, Osaya and Happy did not lose to them in the slightest. In fact, they had a chance to win, even though it was slim.
Happy had already displayed his strength just now.
Happy had even injured the arm of the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance just now. Empress Yin would definitely not be able to relax when fighting against him.
Osaya and Happy believed that Evil King and Empress Yin did not come here to create trouble when they came over here at this moment.

Happy.

Evil King and Empress Yin had faint smiles on their faces, and with just one word, they revealed Happy’s identity.
We didn’t expect that you would be here at the desert palace as well.

Osaya was slightly surprised.
She frowned a little. Then, she seemed to have remembered something. She turned her head around quickly and stared at the white-clad teenager’s face.
You know each other?


We’ve fought a few times before.

Happy’s reaction was aloof.
Osaya instantly had her questions answered.
It was not good news for Osaya if Happy was long-time friends with Evil King and Empress Yin. Happy also knew this, so he immediately revealed that they were enemies instead of friends so that he could make Osaya calm down.

Oh?

Osaya looked at Evil King and Empress Yin in surprise.
It’s not a good idea to fight here.


Don’t worry. Young Swordsman Happy might have a low qi realm, but even if I attack him on my own, I might not be able to do anything against him. Naturally, I won’t do something that would end up with us both being severely injured.


Then, did you come over here to bring me good news?

He had faced Evil King far too many times, so Happy was able to ask him with a relaxed tone, as if he was facing an old friend.

Of course it’s something good.

As he spoke, Evil King cast a glance at the mercury moat.
The two of us have a faint understanding of the dao of heaven, and we can only protect ourselves if we fly over the mercury moat. Wan Wan and Xibai are our successors, and they are the future faction masters of Flowers Faction and Yin Weed Faction. If both of us left, it will be very difficult for them to leave the desert palace.


This seems to be the private matter for Yin Weed Faction and Flowers Faction, what does it have to do with me?
When he heard this, Happy cast a puzzled glance at Hou Xibai and Wan Wan, who stood behind these two obediently. Hou Xibai looked as elegant as ever, and Wan Wan seemed a little delicate after she was injured.
Evil King smiled.

Even though all of us in the dao of heaven believe that only those who can use the power in the dao of heaven can fly over the mercury moat and clear the lockdown of the Fire Spitting Beasts of Clouds, based on my understanding toward you, you will definitely not be trapped by this measly mercury moat, Young Swordsman Happy.

When he heard this, the puzzlement in Happy’s heart grew stronger. His gaze moved back and forth from Evil King and Empress Yin’s inscrutable faces to Hou Xibai and Wan Wan’s faces. He could not help but have his tone turn cautious when he spoke next,
Evil King, please don’t beat around the bush.


Haha!
Evil King laughed madly.
Alright, then I’ll get straight to the point. I’d like to ask you for a favor.

Happy felt incredibly displeased when he heard this.
He started making sarcastic quips nonstop in his mind. ‘This bastard might have publicly acknowledged that he can’t do anything against me, but he’s constantly haughty and overbearing, and he gives off a pressure as if he’s standing above me. Even when he’s asking for a favor, he’s still so domineering.’
However, while he was displeased, he could not just ignore a quest from a person in the dao of heaven. Evil King and Empress Yin were already incredibly strong, but if they decided to come over together, this was enough to tell him just how important this quest was.

You’re the Evil King, and yet you need someone as insignificant as me to help you? You must be joking…
Happy had subconsciously entered his negotiation state.
Evil King and Empress Yin looked at each other.
Happy did not reject them on the spot, and that was enough to tell them everything.
Neither of them wasted their breath. They stated their purpose.

This is what’s going on. With our strength, we can’t get Wan Wan and Hou Xibai out of here, but we believe that you will definitely think of a way to leave the desert palace safely. So, we want to leave them to you, Young Swordsman Happy—


What?!

Happy’s expression changed, and he nearly drew his sword on the spot.
He had seen shameless people before, but he had never met someone so shameless!
These two people in the dao of heaven were not even confident that they could protect their disciples, and they wanted HIM to protect THEM?!
Happy nearly drew Heaven Crystal and cut Evil King. Evil King thought that their successors were dragging them down, but he actually thought about tossing those luggage to his former enemy and asking him to take care of them?

Young Swordsman Happy, don’t be in a hurry to reject us. You should listen to our rewards if you’re willing to accept this.

Evil King smiled, and he looked as if he was not afraid that Happy would not accept his request. It made Happy smile coldly, and he spoke with a drawl.

Reward?

Unless you’re able to get all the treasures in the desert palace and give all of them to me, we have no room for negotiation…

Happy instantly rejected Evil King’s
reward
.
But he did not expect that Evil King would cast Thousand-faced Human Fox a deep glance at that moment, and he sent a private message over.
If my guess is correct, the person beside you should be one of the four Divine Thieves of the Chinese plains, and he’s the one who stole an important treasure from Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction. He’s currently kept by your side…

Before his voice faded away, Happy’s sneer instantly froze.
A grave system warning rose in Happy’s ears.

Ding!

Evil King has already seen through Thousand-faced Human Fox’s true identity!

If Evil King reveals his status, based on your agreement, Thousand-faced Human Fox will no longer be restricted by your contract, and he can immediately get rid of his status as your follower.

Happy’s expression instantly turned incredibly sour.
At that moment, Happy finally understood what Evil King was relying on to get Happy to help him.
All the people in the dao of heaven thought that the old servant beside him was of insignificant value, but Evil King had seen through it. Not only had he seen through Thousand-faced Human Fox’s identity, he also seized Happy’s weakness. Thousand-faced Human Fox was too famous in the Chinese plains as a thief. He had already reached a state where his reputation was even more important than his life. If his identity was really revealed by Evil King, Happy would lose the leverage that allowed him to continue restraining Thousand-faced Human Fox to his side to serve him for half a year.
But Thousand-faced Human Fox was the key for Happy to clear the traps in the desert palace because he had already understood the contents in the Amazing Log of the Seas and Mountains.
Once he lost that key, Happy no longer had the confidence that he could seize any of the treasures in the desert palace from the hands of those in the dao of heaven.
Evil King had ruthlessly and diabolically seized this key.
And he sent Wan Wan and Hou Xibai into his hands.
As Happy stared at Evil King’s smug look, Happy’s face alternated between shades of red and white.
He already did not want to know how Evil King managed to see through Thousand-faced Human Fox’s identity. There were plenty of spies in the evil cult, and they had all sorts of strange abilities.
What was more important was that Happy could sense something dangerous from Evil King’s words.
Even if he chose to compromise with him right now and agreed to his terms, Evil King might go for a mile and use Thousand-faced Human Fox to force Happy to do even more things for him. At the very least, this meant that Happy’s situation in the desert palace would become even worse, and he would be in a passive situation.
When he thought of this, a chilling killing intent shone in Happy’s eyes. He had Heaven Crystal pointed diagonally on the ground. It shone with a frightening chill. He said clearly,
Evil King, are you saying that if I don’t agree to your requests, you will spread this news, and everyone will part their ways. Aren’t you indulging in your wishes too much? Do you think I would submit to you for a follower and do as you wished?

Evil King did not expect that Happy would be someone who would be angered so easily. His smile faded away a little, and he quickly explained,
Who do you think I am? How could I possibly use one news to threaten you?! You’re underestimating me too much!


Oh?

Happy used the chance to lessen his aggression, but his tone remained as cold as ever.
But I am never confident with the evil cult. Everyone knows that the evil cult will do everything it takes to achieve their goals.


I can give you a promise. As long as you send Wan Wan and Hou Xibai over to the other side, I will never mention Thousand-faced Human Fox to others, even to the people in the evil cult. I will never mention his existence to anyone.
Evil King swore solemnly. Then, his tone changed.
But as an exchange, you must ensure Wan Wan and Hou Xibai’s safety and bring them over to the other side to meet with us.

The system notification arrived.

Ding!

Will you accept Evil King Shi Zhixuan’s request and protect Wan Wan as well as Hou Xibai so that they can fly over the moat? Then, will you escort them until they meet up with Evil King and Empress Yin?

If you accept the quest, then Evil King will promise that he will never reveal Thousand-faced Human Fox’s identity to anyone else, and he will not use this to blackmail you again.
