Chapter 1140 - Blue Waves In The Air

Chapter 1140: Blue Waves In The Air
Thief, aside from your lightness skill being slightly like his, nothing else about you resembles Chief Xiang. Alright, I don’t want to know just who you are either. Tell me, where is Heaven Crystal?!

Happy’s words angered the great thief who had tried to hide his identity with every trick in his books. His expression changed, and the rage burning in his eyes made him look as if he wanted to burn Happy alive.
Thief? Slightly like his? Nothing else about him resembled Chief Xiang? Don’t want to know who he was?
Happy’s nonchalance and disdain had damaged Thousand-faced Human Fox’s ego greatly. His chest heaved, and he fixed his enraged gaze on Happy’s face.
How dare you look down on me?! When I became famous in the world of wanderers, you were still wearing open-crotch pants somewhere!
When he said this, his eyes nearly popped out of their eye sockets. He looked like he was going to insist on Happy rectifying his name.

Enough with the nonsense! Where is Heaven Crystal?!
In truth, based on what he said, Happy had long since made the deduction that this person was one of the four Divine Thieves in the world of wanderers. He was Thousand-faced Human Fox, the most cunning member of the evil cult. His sword skills and his skills in thievery were both incredibly outstanding. His handsome face would not lose to Chu Liuxiang’s either.
If Happy had not learned of the other thieves’ information from Lu Xiaofeng earlier and got to know the other three thieves’ positions from Wandering Know-it-all, he might have believed in Thousand-faced Human Fox’s nonsense.
Thousand-faced Human Fox was famous for being cunning. Even divine constables would be deceived if they ran into him.
If Thousand-faced Human Fox refused to say who he was, perhaps Happy would suspect that someone else had stolen Heaven Crystal, not one of the four Divine Thieves. But this person just had to fancy himself smart and mention Chu Liuxiang’s name…
Happy remembered Lu Xiaofeng deliberately mentioning the four Divine Thieves’ personality and habits while he spoke to Happy that day.
Thousand-faced Human Fox was the type of person who could easily control a person’s heart, and he was a great thief who was incredibly patient and skilled. He was similar to Chu Liuxiang in this regard, but he was even more cunning, and he would also resort to all methods. He did not like to leave any tracks, and he was known by many martial artists as a great thief in the evil cult who could set up his own sect.
However, Thousand-faced Human Fox had one weakness.
He loved competing against Chu Liuxiang!
And he just had to compete against him in all aspects! He could not accept being equals with Chu Liuxiang, and he hoped that he could be the one and only thief king in the world of martial artists!
Lu Xiaofeng had even guessed with a smile that if Thousand-faced Human Fox was captured, he might say that he was Chu Liuxiang…
It was precisely because of the brief words from Lu Xiaofeng that Happy was able to understand this personality trait from Thousand-faced Human Fox, and once he became certain of Thousand-faced Human Fox’s identity, he quickly put on a completely nonchalant expression.
And reality showed that Thousand-faced Human Fox was indeed someone who could not accept himself being looked down by others. He was immediately offended. He gritted his teeth and said clearly,
Brat, even if the abbot of Shaolin Temple would not dare to use that tone in front of me…


You were captured by Shaolin Temple’s abbot as well?

Happy stared at Thousand-faced Human Fox in shock while he spoke to him in a high-and-mighty tone. The man felt frustrated, and he was so angry that he rolled his eyes at Happy.
He was also so angry that he nearly coughed up blood.
Right when he was about to defend himself, Happy spoke up once more, and his tone was still disdainful, causing Thousand-faced Human Fox to want to cough up blood.

You’re a person who won’t even dare reveal his name to me, and you’re a liar who mentioned that you would always give your true name to others no matter what you do. What exactly do you want me to believe? Am I to flatter you by saying you’re good? Or are you going to think of someone even more powerful to try and scare me?


…

Thousand-faced Human Fox felt incredibly frustrated.
He was just about to brag about his amazing deeds, but Happy rendered him speechless. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was not suitable for him to say anything.
After all, Happy had seen through his lies. Even if he said how great he had been in the past and how many important treasures he had stolen from Shaolin Temple, Wudang Sect, and other major sects, all his claims would undoubtedly be groundless claims.
When he saw Thousand-faced Human Fox’s chest heaving and an anxious look settling in his eyes, Happy mercilessly delivered another painful blow to him.

Are you Chu Liuxiang’s disciple?


…Nonsense!

Thousand-faced Human Fox retorted by reflex.

That sure is a huge reaction? Was I right?
Happy grinned smugly. In Thousand-faced Human Fox’s eyes, he looked even more hateful.
He was constantly thinking of surpassing Chu Liuxiang, but now, someone said he was the disciple of the Chief of Thieves. This major disparity made him feel incredibly humiliated.

I found it strange when you said you were Chu Liuxiang just now. You’re definitely thinking about using your master’s name to break free, am I right?


Non! Sense!
Thousand-faced Human Fox glared at Happy’s eyes.
My thieving skills are better than Chu Liuxiang’s!

Before his voice faded away, Happy leveled him a strange look, one that said,
Then why are you here?

Some of the anger that just rose in him was extinguished.

Hmph!


You’re already pretty good to be able to steal Heaven Crystal from Sword Sect’s master and my eyes, and you even managed to steal an important treasure from Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction. By the looks of it, you have indeed inherited some of Chu Liuxiang’s skills.


…

Happy deliberately chose not to look at Thousand-faced Human Fox’s face, which was so filled with rage that he was about to suffer from a mental breakdown. He continued speaking,
Tell me where Heaven Crystal is, and I can release you for Chu Liuxiang’s sake.

Thousand-faced Human Fox was originally so angry that he was going to keel over and die because of how certain Happy was, but when he heard of Heaven Crystal’s name, his expression changed, and he looked smug again.

I knew it. You came for Heaven Crystal.
As he spoke, his lips curled up slightly.
You’re aiming for the Heaven Crystal Art in Heaven Crystal, right?


…

Happy stared at Thousand-faced Human Fox coldly. The man had become arrogant again. Happy did not speak.

Let me tell you, I followed Sword Sect’s master for a full three years to steal Heaven Crystal from him, which he stole from Heaven Shaker Fortress. I spent an insane amount of money and energy on it, and you’re thinking about taking it from me with just a few words?


Do you want money?
Happy asked coolly.
Thousand-faced Human Fox became even more arrogant.
Money won’t be able to tempt me. If I want it, all the rich people in the world will be my personal banks. I’m only interested in the items that cannot be obtained easily. This is a hobby of Theft Sect.


Then, what do I need to do for you to hand Heaven Crystal to me?


Why should I hand it to you? It’s also a dignified way to die if I perish with the secret of Heaven Crystal.
Thousand-faced Human Fox moved his body slightly and flicked off the dust on the corners of his sleeves.
Slap!

What are you going?!

Thousand-faced Human Fox cradled his head in anger and glared at Happy. He could not believe that he would actually dare to attack him.
In his predictions, Happy should be incredibly nervous when he heard his words.
Happy ignored Thousand-faced Human Fox’s shocked and enraged expression. He scattered the true qi Thousand-faced Human Fox had discreetly used to unblock his acupressure points, and he tapped two of his major acupressure points at his chest again.
The person shuddered. He could not move again, including his neck. He stared at Happy and shouted at him falteringly,
You—! You—


You, what, exactly? How dare you threaten me? You must have a few screws loose in your head.


…Ah!

Happy hit Thousand-faced Human Fox again and said in disdain,
Since you’re Chu Liuxiang’s disciple, am I supposed to be worried that I can’t find Heaven Crystal? Once I bring you to Chu Liuxiang, I can ask him to his face. I’d like to see whether Chu Liuxiang is willing to give up on you.


What?!

A shrill shriek tore through the air of the island. Countless birds who were sleeping in the forest were shocked, and they flew up.
Thousand-faced Human Fox looked as if he had been shocked. His voice became piercing to the ears.
You want to bring me to Chu Liuxiang?! Don’t you want Heaven Crystal anymore?!

Happy naturally knew that Thousand-faced Human Fox was terrified by him. But he showed no traces of it on his face. He said faintly,
Chu Liuxiang has always been kind. You’re his disciple and inherited all his skills. He won’t give up on you for Heaven Crystal.


You bastard! I already told you that I’m not Chu Liuxiang’s disciple!

Thousand-faced Human Fox became anxious, but he could not move his body, and he did not even have the chance to express his anger. In truth, he had the courage to die with Heaven Crystal, but he did not have the courage to have Happy bring him by the scruff of his neck to Chu Liuxiang, because that meant he had to face his greatest rival.
All wanderers valued their egos greatly.
Thousand-faced Human Fox might be cunning and devious and could use every method in his disposal for himself, but he had one thing he insisted—he wanted to surpass Chu Liuxiang when it came to thieving skills.
To a great thief, being caught after stealing was not something shameful, but being brought to someone of the same profession was absolutely embarrassing!
If he were brought in front of Chu Liuxiang, Thousand-faced Human Fox suspected that the reputation he had accumulated over the years would be completely destroyed!
However, Happy had been planning for this moment for a long time. There was no way he would let Thousand-faced Human Fox break free. He picked up Thousand-faced Human Fox and started walking while he mumbled,
Chu Liuxiang is currently at West Region. If I have to rush over there, I will need at least seven days to do so. All of you thieves are cunning and devious. Before I find Chu Liuxiang, I have to borrow Universe Secrets Lock from Lu Xiaofeng and lock your qi as well as your body. Also, I have to get some Ten Fragrant Tendon Weakening Powder for you.

Thousand-faced Human Fox found himself breaking into cold sweat because of it.
It was only at that moment that he realized that the person in front of him was not a kind person. His schemes and tricks were completely useless in front of him.

Sect Master Happy.

Happy said nothing.

Sect Master Happy, I’m really not Chu Liuxiang’s disciple. Let me go. As thanks, I can give you the treasures of the seven major sects as well as the treasures from Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction and the other big sects in the world of martial artists.


You might be an idiot, but don’t treat other people as idiots as well.

Happy cast Thousand-faced Human Fox a disdainful look.
I have no use for the treasures from the other sects. If I let you go, you can spread word that I have those treasures, and the elites from the sects will come and cause me trouble. How did Chu Liuxiang teach you? Why did you end up so devious and malicious?


Urk!

Thousand-faced Human Fox almost fainted from anger.
At this moment, Happy spoke again,
You constantly say that you’re not Chu Liuxiang’s disciple. If you give me Heaven Crystal, I will trust you and let you go. I won’t go back on my word.


At the end of the day, you just want Heaven Crystal.
Thousand-faced Human Fox put on a wary expression.
Happy snorted coldly.
At the end of the day, you’re still trying your luck. You want to leave without paying a price. I’m telling you, once we meet Chu Liuxiang, the truth will naturally be revealed. I’d like to see just what you have to say by then!

Thousand-faced Human Fox’s expression instantly fell.
At that moment, Happy’s expression changed, and he turned his head to look at the direction of the center of the lake.
The moonlight fell on the lake quietly, and a brilliant figure flew over without causing any ripples in the water. That figure was just like an immortal travelling on a sparkling lake.
