At the moment the entrance of Fox Cave formed completely, Happy and his party reached it with two zombies in tow. Under the gazes that felt like spotlights, they stopped before the three spokespeople from the sects, who also seemed to be the strongest of the lot.
Red Dust, vice sect master of Chivalry Sect, Solitary Perpetual Joy, who was the leader of Perpetual Joy Sect, and Situ Luoyu, sect master of Fallen Feathers Sect.
Due to Happy and his party’s arrival, the hundreds of powerful players near the entrance of Fox Cave in the forest sank into a strange atmosphere. At that moment, almost every single person knew who Happy was, and they could also tell that he had gotten much stronger than when he was at Mount Song after he disappeared for around ten days once he defeated multiple sects.
No one tried to stop Happy. They held their breaths and cast their gazes on the three spokespeople in front of the entrance of Fox Cave.
They wanted to know what the three leaders who had managed to gather nearly one hundred powerful players to their sects would do.



Blue-robed Noble Sword User, I’ve heard of your name for a long time!


Hello, Happy.

However, against their expectations, the sect master of Fallen Feathers Sect and vice sect master of Chivalry Sect almost went up together to greet Happy with a fist in their palms and a smile on their faces. It shocked the many players with high-tier martial arts who had been exercising their fists, prepared to break Happy’s bones.
Happy did not say anything.
Compared to everyone else, his reaction was slightly cold and surprising. He turned his head around and cast a glance at the area outside the forest. Then, he turned back and said faintly,
The defense line you set is really hard to cross.

Red Dust was the first to look regretful. He shook his head and smiled wanly.
Situ Luoyu stopped moving due to embarrassment. He then smiled and explained.
Haha. It’s because we need it for our current situation. We’ve already sacrificed too much for Fox Cave, which is why we decided to organize a serious raid for once. We didn’t expect to bring out a high ranker from the Famous Person Rank.


You praise me too much… But my arrival shouldn’t have destroyed your plans, right?


Hmph! As long as you’re the only four here, you won’t disrupt our plans too much.
At that moment, Solitary Perpetual Joy, who had said nothing before, spoke up. His tone was slightly stiff and full of hostility, but it was likely that he had reacted this way because Happy’s reaction had been too indifferent.
Happy swept a glance at him before he looked away. His gaze made it seem as if he was looking at weeds.



Even so, let’s mind our own businesses. You go and organize your plans; my friends and I will be going ahead first.

Red Dust was stunned, and he could not help but cry out in surprise,
The four of you?


What’s wrong?
Happy sensed the mockery and delight from their impending doom coming from the gazes all around them. His expression did not change.
Is something the matter?


Oh, no, it’s just that Fox Cave is incredibly dangerous. Brother Happy, do you want to challenge Fox Cave with Chivalry Sect? If you do, you’ll be a lot safer.


Please don’t trouble yourself.

Even though Chivalry Sect was well-known as a chivalrous sect whose name spread far and wide during the early stages of the game, it was the first time Happy had met them. They had never had any connection with each other, which was why he did not want to get too close to them. He rejected Red Dust’s offer tactfully on the spot.

You’ve spent a lot of time and effort to organize this operation. The four of us have our own plans as well. Besides, if we act together, it’ll be difficult for us to distribute the items we get. I appreciate your good intentions, but that’s all. Goodbye!

Once he finished speaking, he wrapped his fist in his palm toward the three spokespeople and became the first to enter Fox Cave. Red Dust did not even manage to give him any other words of warning about Fox Cave before Thunderous Battle and the other two quickly followed behind him.
Red Dust was rendered speechless.
Happy walked too quickly for Red Dust to have the time to continue trying to persuade him and his group or try to stop them. His face was full of regret, and he sighed while looking at the entrance of Fox Cave. He then shook his head in resignation.


In truth, he was not worried that once Happy entered Fox Cave that their plans will have to change. Instead, he was thinking about the dangers inside. Happy was incredibly powerful, so if he died in Fox Cave, it would be quite the pity.
The other two people by his side did not think so. They watched Happy and his party vanish into Fox Cave, and they could not help the corners of their lips that curled up slightly.
They knew just how dangerous was Fox Cave!
Even though the strength displayed by Happy surpassed that of all the people in the area, Fox Cave was not a place that one or two people could clear.
There were hundreds of fox monsters in the hall alone!
Even though their attacks would not pose too much of a threat to players with high-tier martial arts and high-tier body fortification techniques, the fox monsters’ astonishing speed, attack frequency, and dodge rate were not what a normal player could handle. Once a person was surrounded, no matter how strong they were, they would be unable to fight back under the multiple fox monsters’ constant attacks. The surrounded player could only stand around and wait for death.
It was because they knew it that they understood that once a party of four entered Fox Cave, they might be able to last for a while, but their qi would definitely run out in the long run. In the end, their qi would be spent and they would die in Fox Cave. That was why they said nothing and just watched Happy and his party enter ahead of them.
Situ Luoyu and Solitary Perpetual Joy looked at each other before they cast their gazes at the area outside the forest. Their voices were cold when they spoke.

We should have the people outside stop fighting.


That’s right, Happy and his party will also need some time in there. We have nothing to do, anyway, so why don’t we chase away all those eyesores? My fellow sect masters, what do you think?



The duo spoke one after another, and when their words traveled into the ears of the other sect masters, they found that the tone they used made them sound as if they were negotiating with them, but there was also an underlying hint that they were giving them an order.
The two hundred or so players who did not belong to any sect and had managed to enter the depths of the forest began hesitating once Happy’s party left. They did not know what they were supposed to do with themselves, and when they heard those words, they felt their hearts grown cold.
While their dignity was important, they did not want to die and have their progress slow down for an entire month because of it. Hence, under the pressure given by multiple sects, they retreated out of the forest.
Soon, most of the hundreds of players who had surrounded the entrance of Fox Cave left.
Once multiple players with high-tier martial arts joined the fray, the sounds of weapons clashing against each other grew even stronger. Red Dust from Chivalry Sect never sent anyone from his sect to join the fight, but he was powerless to stop the others, because Fallen Feathers Sect and Perpetual Joy Sect had taken the lead to draw Chivalry Sect to their side and include them in their plan. The two sects were also in charge of contacting the other, smaller sects.
They were worried that they would be chased out in the next big event, which was why they just followed Fallen Feathers Sect and Perpetual Joy Sect’s lead and showed great cooperation. Chivalry Sect’s words would not influence them even if they said anything about the matter.
Everything was stabilized.
Then, the trio cast their gazes on the entrance of Fox Cave again, but no one showed any desire to immediately enter.
Situ Luoyu chuckled and spoke in a frivolous voice.
Brother Perpetual Joy, how long do you think those people will last inside?


Five minutes, at most ten minutes,
Solitary Perpetual Joy answered with a light chuckle.



Alright, then we’ll enter ten minutes later!

Red Dust said nothing. He frowned, cast the two a glance, and turned around resolutely to return to Chivalry Sect’s camp. He regarded the idea of working with the two in contempt. He could tell that they wanted Happy to die in Fox Cave.
He wanted to enter Fox Cave to help, but he did not have many sect members by his side, and many of them would die every single time they entered Fox Cave. Hence, if he considered the matter from his sect’s angle, he could not let his rash actions cause his brothers to be pushed into a hopeless situation. He also did not want Chivalry Sect to become a thorn in so many sects’ flesh.
That was why even though he knew about their plan, he did not send anyone to support Happy’s party. Their chances of dying were much higher than surviving. He could only sit by the side and wait with his sect members.
