Zhiruo?!


Junior sister, why are you…

Zhou Zhiruo was brought to the third level, which was the place that detained the Emei Sect disciples. Her being pushed inside stirred up cries of surprise, but the Yuan Dynasty soldier just shut the door without looking back. He then went downstairs and left behind the two Yuan Dynasty soldiers who made comments about Zhou Zhiruo’s appearance.

Such a beautiful girl, and she became a nun…


This Emei Sect, seriously…



Once Zhou Zhiruo was locked up, she saw that her mistress and everyone was in the area, and she felt grief bloom in her heart.
Mistress, are you alright?


I’m fine. How did you get caught?

Mistress Annihilation looked incredibly distressed.
On the other hand, Ding Minjun and Bei Jinyi were slightly excited.
Junior sister, did you tell Great Swordsman Song about what happened to us? Do the six great sects know what happened to us?

Once Zhou Zhiruo answered their questions, she told them that she was captured by Yuan Dynasty soldiers while she drew the Emei Sect contact symbol outside the inn. She was struck with a strange incense and lost all the strength in her limbs.

Then… what about Young Swordsman Happy?

Once Mistress Annihilation learned that Happy traveled with her, the solemnity between her brows vanished slightly. At least not all of their people were captured. As long as the news of their plight spread out, there would be hope for them.
Right when Zhou Zhiruo finished speaking…
Shick!
A faint sound of something slicing through the air could be heard, and a Yuan Dynasty soldier fell on the table out of the blue. The other person was shocked, but when he got up prepared to shout in warning, a violent gust of wind swept inside, and his throat was seized tightly. He could not let out a sound.


Thud!
With a single slash, Happy sliced the Yuan Dynasty soldier’s throat. Then, with familiar ease, he captured the Yuan Dynasty soldier’s corpse and made him sit on the chair.
It was inevitable that his actions caught the Emei Sect disciples’ attention.

Happy!


Young Swordsman Happy!

The spirits of Mistress Annihilation and the others lifted.
A strange light flashed in Zhou Zhiruo’s eyes as well. She did not think that right when she was captured, Happy would sneak into the tall tower. She felt joy, as if she had just been pulled from hell to heaven.

This is great, mistress!

Young Swordsman Happy, hurry up and get the key so that we can get out.

Ding Minjun was the most cowardly out of the lot. When she saw that her savior had arrived, she immediately cried out for help. Fortunately, she was not stupid enough to scream and shout.


But Mistress Annihilation did not allow her joy to affect her judgment!.

Don’t!
she said,
Happy, don’t open the door. We’re under the effects of Ten Fragrant Tendon Weakening Powder, which is a unique poison that doesn’t allow us to use our qi. Even if you open the door, we won’t be able to leave this place. Instead, we’ll become a burden on you instead.

Her sentence instantly calmed the Emei Sect disciples since they recognized the reality of the situation.

Brother Happy, you have a chivalrous and very moral heart. I thank you for putting yourself at risk for Emei Sect,
Mistress Annihilation said solemnly.
But the six great sects have all been detained here, and it is impossible for you to save us with your strength alone. It is not good for you to stay here for long. Please, take my authenticating token and tell the six sects to lead their people to save us.

As she spoke, she took the jade ring that symbolized the position of the leader of Emei Sect and handed it to Happy.
What took Happy by surprise was that Ding Minjun did not fly into a frenzy and oppose her decision this time!

Ding!

Received Mistress Annihilation’s request. Tell the six great sects the location in which the elites from the six sects are detained and save them!

Happy did not reject the quest from the system this time.
However, he still had the urge to take Zhou Zhiruo to leave the tall tower, but when he considered the fact that he might put her in an even more dangerous situation if his location was exposed, he gritted his teeth and cast Zhou Zhiruo a resigned and complicated glance before he left the tall tower under Mistress Annihilation’s gaze, which seemed to suggest that she understood something.


Whoosh!
Happy floated out the path through which he had come. Right when he landed on Mahavira Hall, he suddenly heard a furious roar from above the tall tower.

Assassins!

Almost instantly, the heavy-armored Yuan Dynasty soldiers near the tall tower drew their weapons and got ready to fight!
Countless torches were lit in Eternal Peace Temple.
The various dark corners suddenly became bright, and Happy, Zhou Yu, Heaven Does Not Forget, and Lonesome Wind were all revealed at the same time, entering the sights of the Yuan Dynasty soldiers nearby.
Happy and Zhou Yu were fine. They immediately reacted to the situation and understood that Happy’s actions in the tall tower had been revealed. They changed their equipment without another word and rushed outside the temple.
Heaven Does Not Forget and Lonesome Wind, however, suffered a great tragedy.
Their hiding places had been suddenly lit up for no reason, and they were exposed in every way possible. They were completely dumbfounded, having no idea what had happened. When they heard the Yuan Dynasty soldiers nearby shouting that they needed to catch the assassins and ran toward them, they cursed.

Damn it!




How did they notice me?!

They quickly activated their qi realms and body fortifications to fight against them.
It was only then that Happy noticed that he had accomplices in Eternal Peace Temple. He quickly tapped against the ground and shot dozens of feet forward with a few jumps from the broken tower standing in Eternal Peace Temple. Once he did so, he had the chance to remind the two morons to leave.

Idiots, why aren’t you leaving yet?! Do you want to die?!


Ah!
Heaven Does Not Forget and Lonesome Wind were stunned. It was only then that they noticed the golden figure fleeing from the flying arrows above the Yuan Dynasty soldiers’ heads. ‘There’s someone else with us.’
Right when Happy was about to leave, another loud voice rang through the air above Eternal Peace Temple.
Brother Happy, you sure are wicked. You sneakily finished the quest and alerted the Yuan Dynasty soldiers, leaving the rest of us no loott.

‘Zhou Yu’s here as well.’
Heaven Does Not Forget and Lonesome Wind looked in the direction of the sound and saw an awe-inspiring man in a white nylon robe with a silver spear.
Happy laughed, and his voice traveled far into the distance.

I have a clear conscience. I didn’t know that you were all here. I’ll be taking my leave first.


Leaving?!

A furious roar suddenly rose from beyond Eternal Peace Temple.

What do you think the imperial court is?! You invaded the forbidden grounds of the army, and you think you won’t have to pay the price?!

Happy had just reached the outer wall of Eternal Peace Temple when he suddenly felt a monstrous will of the fist charging at his face. It was as if countless fists had appeared in front of him, and he could not avoid them.
‘A powerful fighter!’
Just from the way the fist wind arrived before the person himself, Happy knew that he had run into a powerful person. His heart let out a loud thump, and he quickly activated Golden Bell Cocoon.
Clang!
His Golden Bell Cocoon trembled furiously and distorted from the power of the punch. The huge amount of qi contained within the attack threw Happy violently off his feet.
Boom!
A stone tower that was more than sixteen feet tall fell apart because of Happy.
For the first time, his Golden Armor did not help him retain his posture. The violent power had reached more than 1,000 damage.
Zhou Yu, Heaven Does Not Forget, and Lonesome Wind caught up just in time to see Happy being sent back into Eternal Peace Temple like a cannonball by a punch. Their expressions changed at the same time, growing extremely grave.
Rumble!
A person stood up from the debris.
There was blood trickling down Happy’s mouth. He looked rather pathetic and miserable as he stared at the powerful martial artist who had appeared on the wall. He instantly narrowed his eyes into a slit.
The person was hidden in the dark while he stood on the wall. He looked rather like an elite, and when Happy saw his face clearly, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
‘What an ugly mug!’
The man’s face was completely ruined. There was a thin mask on his face, but Happy could still see hideous burn scars beneath the mask and at the edges. The man’s eyes were filled with complicated emotions as he stared at Happy while standing atop the stone pile.
‘Ku Toutuo!’ Happy felt his heart shudder. ‘That’s not right, there’s still one more!’
Ku Toutuo did not know how to speak.
When he thought of that, Happy did not even think anything else and used the broken tower next to him to get to his feet and retreat dozens of feet backwards.
Boom!
