It was as expected of the abbot in charge of Shaolin Temple. Even though the old monk was so stubborn that many found him annoying in the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, his Buddhist martial arts were very pure. With one declaration of Buddha’s name, he had calmly infused the power of mantras from Buddhist’s Lion Roar.
Happy felt his body tremble, and his qi was completely dissolved. It was also difficult for him to gather up his qi within a short period of time. During it, he would be unable to bring out the body fortification effects of Golden Bell Cocoon.
This made Happy feel gloomy, but at the same time, he was secretly relieved that he did not recklessly attack Blood Robes. Otherwise, he would have been unable to avoid the Lion Roar even if he activated Petite Dragon.
Blood Robes’ expression was not any better.
He did not believe that Happy could defeat him within ten moves, but Dream Clouds’ words had caused him to lose his dignity in front of the people. He snorted coldly and returned to Mount Hua Sect’s camp.


At that moment, they were no longer the center of attention!
The people from the six great system-allocated sects stood up.

Teachers, to prevent anyone from the evil cult escaping, I believe that it would be best if we split up and each of us led a large group of people to surround the mountain while we also attacked head-on. We would trap the people from the evil cult in Light Summit and destroy them in one go.

Emei Sect’s Mistress Annihilation stood up. Her gaze was as cold as ice, and her killing intent was awe-inspiring.
Song Yuanqiao might have felt slightly uncomfortable because of the great killing intent from the woman who had become a nun, but he still showed his support to Emei Sect’s decision on the surface.
Mistress, you’re right. The six sects will split up. We’ll lead large groups on Light Summit, and if we run into elites from the evil cult, we will immediately send a messenger pigeon to warn you.


Great Swordsman Song of Wudang Sect has agreed to this. What do the rest of you think?


We’ll go along with it!

Each sect agreed to it.
The disciples of the six great system-allocated sects divided themselves into multiple teams and surged up Mount Huangshan like a tidal wave.

Follow them!
Zhou Zhiruo shouted at Happy and the others. They did not dare to be negligent and quickly followed behind a group of Emei Sect disciples.


Dream Clouds and Blood Rivers quickly headed in another direction with the people from Mount Hua Sect. They disappeared without a trace.
There were more than one thousand extraordinary martial artists from everywhere following behind the disciples of Emei Sect. Further back were a group of players who followed them cautiously and tentatively. They did not intend to be the vanguard.
Those people were smart. The evil cult had declared that they were millions of people strong, and no one knew the situation in front of them clearly. If the players attacked recklessly, they would definitely lose their lives. That’s why they intended to have the people in front of them fight first while they got a clear grasp of the situation and waited for a better chance to attack.


Look! It’s the people from the evil cult!

Once they traveled a few miles, a disciple from Emei Sect noticed the enemy. She shouted a word of warning without hesitation and jumped up with a few more Emei Sect disciples. Their speed increased instantaneously, and they pounced over.
The sounds of robes fluttering could be heard in the forest.
The black figures moved very quickly, but the movements of the disciples from Emei Sect were clearly much better. They used the branches as leverage, and with a whoosh, they blocked a few Ming Cult disciples with unfamiliar faces.
The Ming Cult disciples looked at each other. They did not speak and just drew their weapons from their sheaths.

Set up the formation!



The disciples from Emei were agile and moved through the area like butterflies among flowers. The light from their weapons flashed continuously. The moment they exchanged blows, they managed to completely suppress Ming Cult disciples, and soon, those Ming Cult disciples died under their weapons.
Clang!
The Emei Sect disciples sheathed their weapons without further ado. They waited for the larger group to arrive before they smugly said,
Those people from the evil cult are only so much.

After saying that, they rushed into the depths.
When Happy saw that, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
If you hunger after achievements, you will definitely die,
he mumbled under his breath.
Zhou Zhiruo said nothing, but she had clearly heard Happy’s murmurs. She turned her head around and glared at him, but she seemed to have remembered something as well and increased the speed at which she moved to catch up to Mistress Annihilation.

Mistress, some of my senior sisters have gone too far into the depths. They might be in danger. Should I go and call them back?

Mistress Annihilation frowned. Right when she was about to say something, pained screams rose one after another in the forest ahead of them. They should have come from those Emei Sect disciples.
‘This is bad!’
Mistress Annihilation might have a cold and hard heart, but she was not completely merciless and heartless. She was not unaffected by her disciples’ deaths. Her expression changed, and without another word, she shifted a few times to rush in the direction from which the pained screams came.


Happy and a group of Emei Sect disciples quickly followed after her.
When they arrived, Mistress Annihilation had her hand wrapped tightly around Heavenly Sword. Her gaze was cold, and she stood near a few Emei Sect disciples’ corpses with raging killing intent. There was not a single shadow of Ming Cult disciples which could be seen in the area.
They were too late.

Curse you, spawn of the evil cult!
Anger raged in Mistress Annihilation’s heart, but she had nowhere to vent it.
From now on, no one is allowed to move forward recklessly because of your desire for achievements!


Understood!
The Emei Sect disciples answered together.

Mistress.
At that moment, an Emei Sect disciple came up to Mistress Annihilation to suggest a plan.
I have a method to reduce the casualties from Emei Sect.

Happy immediately recognized the woman to be Zhou Zhiruo’s senior sister Ding Minjun. She was a woman with evil thoughts, and he wondered what sinister plot she was cooking up right then.

There are many wandering heroes, so why don’t we have them serve as the vanguard? We could keep our strength to fight at Light Summit later,
Ding Minjun suggested softly.
The expression of Mistress Annihilation instantly changed.
Alright!

Soon, under Mistress Annihilation’s awe-inspiring and righteous words to motivate the martial artists, a large group of great martial artists following behind Emei Sect answered her call, lifted their weapons, and rushed up the mountain.


A moment later, more Ming Cult disciples who were tasked to protect the road heading to Light Summit appeared. The martial artists from everywhere in the game then engaged with the people in Ming Cult ahead of Emei Sect.
Emei Sect’s disciples walked together with the large group of players behind them.
When they heard the intense sounds of weapons clashing, they moved forward a little while more, until a chaotic battle appeared before them.
The Ming Cult disciples were dressed in black shirts and pants, so they were very easy to recognize. They fought against the Life and Death Realm martial artists from other parts of the game, and both sides suffered casualties.

Attack!

Mistress Annihilation no longer hesitated.
Before the Emei Sect disciples could attack, Happy and Momo lifted their swords to rush into the battlefield from the left and right.
Once he was in the chaotic battlefield, Happy did not dare to be negligent. He resolutely changed into his Golden Armor Set to prevent arrows from reaching him and defend himself against all kinds of unexpected situations.
Wherever he went, his Noble Sword shone and moved about with ease. Happy deliberately moved to places with a lot of Ming Cult disciples, and the system continuously told him about the points he gathered.
Momo refused to lose to Happy.
Even though the damage of sword techniques was not great, she had already improved her Throw Spirit Sphere. With one slash and one flick, she could usually take away someone’s life. She killed without hesitation, and she did so without form.
Ancient Wind and a few elites were spurred on by the duo and moved as well.
When the Emei Sect disciples joined the fray, the Ming Cult disciples quickly showed signs that they were about to collapse. The countless players behind the sect instantly became anxious. They thought that the situation could not continue, because the NPCs, Happy, and the others had a lead on them and would gather all the rewards.

Kill them!

Countless players charged into the battlefield like a swarm of bees. Once they cleared the enemy, they headed with the other martial artists to Light Summit without stopping.
The curtains for the major battle had been completely drawn!
