  [Horrid Luck! Gang in World of Martial Arts Tries to Rob Sect Killer]

  The red, eye-catching headline appeared straight at the first page of the forum in South China Martial Arts Ranking Board. The post contained a battle replay that showed Soaring Tiger Sect master’s dazzling bald head and tattoo as well as his livid face while Soaring Tiger Sect members dressed in uniform fled in large groups.

  It was Butt Shaker who narrated the entire process with great emotion.

  Soaring Tiger Sect had gathered together a large group of people to lie in wait so that they could rob the people who went into the royal mausoleum, but in the end, they were caught off guard by the four sects’ counterattack. Later, the sect master came up with an idea to use the “mysterious man” to escape the situation, but it resulted in Happy’s classic act of spelling his name coming into being.

  To that, Bum said that “it was clear that Soaring Tiger Sect’s master did not check his almanac before he came out today.” In the end, the sect master called out a retreat, and that was how the would-be robbers left in misery.

  The entire event was narrated by Butt Shaker in such a manner that it sounded hilarious.

  However, the story which had been created as a joke during Beautiful Robes Faction’s faction operation for their other faction members so that they could have a laugh, swiftly caught attention. After less than an hour since it was uploaded to World of Martial Arts’ official website, it became a hot and sensational topic.

  Soaring Tiger Sect, Butt Shaker, and One Circle became famous.

  Happy’s fame also rose once more.

  Naturally, the official website had not reuploaded the post to their website because of Happy’s fame nor because of the epitome of a fight in which the side with fewer numbers won over the side with greater numbers. Instead, they did to expose the royal mausoleum to countless players.

  That was because royal mausoleum was a rather unique map. If players wanted to enter it, they needed to farm a unique type of incense and go through the Bewitching Matrix during noon when the Living Door opened.

  Also, the royal mausoleum was a map in which many players had to work together to clear it. The whole affair was incredibly difficult and challenging, but the drop rate that was even higher than in Fox Cave was extremely enticing.

  Besides that, Ninja King and the high-grade puppets that had appeared briefly in the other battle replays also attracted many of the large guilds’ attention. Hence, once the map was introduced, those with great talent gathered together for the rare opportunity. Royal mausoleum quickly replaced Fox Cave and became the next most famous spot to farm treasures!

  Happy did not join in the fun again, and neither did Beautiful Robes Faction.

  While the treasures in the royal mausoleum were very tempting, their trip there had allowed them to truly understand the dangers inside. Ninja King’s clone, Ninja King, and the general puppets were simply not monsters they could fight against.

  The four sects had stood on the same front, which was the only reason they managed to last until the end without any danger despite all the threats they faced. If the three other sects had not been eliminated, they might have run into a large problem during the second level and had been killed by Ninja King. Hence, Beautiful Robes Faction did not activate the quest to head to the royal mausoleum again.

  *****

  Happy made best use of his time and returned to Gusu City!

  When entered it with his blue robes, he found that the streets and sights had not changed. However, the people there seemed to have forgotten about the young man who had once stood supreme above all in Gusu City—Blue-robed Noble Sword User, the eldest senior brother of the Murong Clan.

  At the moment Happy returned to Gusu City, he found it bustling with activity. It was even more prosperous and full of life than before. Martial artists in all sorts of attire went to and fro in a hurry.

  Happy smiled faintly. He did not mind that at all.

  When he first came to Gusu City, his in-game character was still young. He had gone through his childhood and adolescent years there. Right then, he was already a man who was six-feet tall.

  Besides, Gusu City was a place where dressing up in a learned and refined manner was the trend. There were many people who were dressed in blue or green robes. Everyone looked very handsome and elegant. The city gave off the atmosphere of a city of scholars. Because of that, it was only natural that no one recognized him.

  “Boss, is this where the Murong Clan is located? Not bad, haha, there’re so many beautiful ladies here……”

  When Little North walked forward, he would occasionally cast flirtatious glances at the beautiful ladies near him, but all of them just treated him like he was off his rockers. They rolled their eyes and went into the distance, but the kid did not learn from his lesson and had a great time.

  Since he was eager to get back, Happy did not waste any energy to entertain Little North. He walked in front and moved through the streets. Soon, he arrived in front of Murong Clan’s mansion.

  “Wow! It’s so stylish!”

  When they arrived outside Murong Clan’s door, Little North and Thunderous Battle looked up at the same time with shock.

  ‘This is the Murong Clan?!’

  “Aside from the disciples, no one else may enter the Murong Clan. Big Brother Thunder, do you mind taking a stroll around the city with Little North first? Once I’m done over here, I’ll come to you. How does that sound?”

  “Alright!” Thunderous Battle and Little North naturally knew that an aristocratic family was not a normal sect. They had a lot of taboos, and people were not allowed to enter it as they pleased to admire and walk around the place, so he readily agreed to Happy’s request.

  Once Happy composed himself, he flung the bottom half of his robes and walked into the Murong Clan with his head held high.

  There were quite a number of men and women who seemed to be Murong Clan disciples at the door. When they saw an unfamiliar face walk in, they stood where they were and watched. There were even some who frowned before they looked toward the butler, who was commanding a group of outer clan disciples who had just joined the clan to do work.

  They had personally witnessed the old butler, who seemed amiable but was actually stern and old-fashioned, throw around a dozen players out to the streets in a day.

  The young man whom they had never seen before had entered the Murong Clan very recklessly, so he would probably be unable to escape a tragic fate.

  The group smiled and stood around in preparation to witness the butler’s Flowing Clouds Sleeve.

  However, when the butler looked over, whatever happened next was out of their expectations!

  The stern, old-fashioned, and old butler’s eyes lit up when he saw the unfamiliar man who walked into the Murong Clan with his head held high. He smiled, which he did almost never, and took the initiative to put down the item he had in his hands before he walked over.

  The Murong Clan’s inner and outer disciples sensed the abnormality within the old butler. They looked over and sized up the newcomer as they tried to guess his identity.

  Whoosh!

  Once he took two steps forward, Uncle Rong placed his forearm against Happy’s before he appeared to Happy’s left with flickering shadows. His fingers moved like lightning to seize Happy’s shoulder.

  The sudden change and the series of swift and dazzling skills made many Murong Clan disciples unable to react.

  Whoosh!

  What Uncle Rong seized was the afterimage Happy left where he originally stood. Happy smiled faintly and appeared to Uncle Rong’s left. He raised his arm and blocked Uncle Rong’s lightning fast sweeping blow at the opportune moment.

  Thud!

  At the same time, he formed his left hand into a claw. He had decided to use Dragon Capture straightaway to seize Uncle Rong’s fist, which was hidden under his sleeve. He chuckled and said, “Uncle Rong, it has been a long while! You’re still as fit as a fiddle!”

  Uncle Rong froze for a moment before a brilliant flash shone in his eyes. An astonishing might instantly spread out from his body, and he easily freed himself from Happy’s palm with a lightning-fast punch. He stared at Happy’s face and left hand before he let out a faint gasp of surprise.

  “Not bad, boy. What skill was that just now?”

  “Dragon Capture,” Happy answered with a smile.

  He was not at all surprised by the fact that Uncle Rong had easily managed to neutralize his ultimate technique. Uncle Rong had always been a top-class martial artist. His qi cultivation might not be beneath that of Old Swordsman.

  Happy had decided to reveal his killing move because Uncle Rong was an NPC, his elder as well as his respected teacher who taught him many things. He would not suffer any disadvantages by revealing his strength to him.
