  “Since you’ve decided to join Emei Sect’s group, you must pay attention to a few things.”

  Zhou Zhiruo spoke very gently and softly. Even though her gaze was not on Happy and Momo’s faces, no matter how they looked at her perfect side profile, they only saw an extraordinary sight. She was pleasant to the eyes, and they only felt a slight bit of discomfort because of her not looking at them.

  “There are only female disciples in Emei Sect, so there will be a great deal of difficulties if we move with you. But when we attack Light Summit, we won’t have so many taboos we need to pay attention to. We can take care of each other and work together. Try to make sure that you kill while protecting yourself. This is what my master usually teaches us.”

  Happy and Momo said nothing.

  “The disciples from the branches of the cult are not hard to deal with. I heard that their strongest are the disciples from Five Banner Division, and they’re very troublesome.”

  While Zhou Zhiruo explained the situation to Happy and Momo, a few other players were led among them, and they instantly caught Happy’s attention, because they were all unfamiliar faces.

  Happy swept his gaze over them and nodded at them in greeting before he looked away.

  Those people were rather uneasy because it was the first time they met the teachers of the six great system-allocated sects. When they answered, they were obviously not as forthright and powerful in their words as Happy. The teachers from the six great system-allocated sects only exchanged a few sentences with them indifferently before they asked them to choose their sects.

  Those people chose their sects with ulterior motives, so there were sects that were left behind and not chosen, but the teachers from the sects who were not chosen did not feel that it was a problem. However, the elders and disciples who were part of the higher level management could not help but feel a little indignant.

  There was one player who attracted Happy attention and made him wary when he did not choose Shaolin Temple or Wudang Sect but instead came straight to Emei Sect.

  “Brother, good day to you.”

  When he saw that the person had taken the initiative to greet him, Happy knew that it was not good for him to be too indifferent. He nodded to return the greeting.

  He remembered that this polite young man said that he came from Snow Mountain Faction, and if he remembered correctly, Snow Mountain Faction was a small faction. However, Snow Mountain Divine Sword was an amazing martial art. Could he be the successor of his faction?

  “I am Ancient Wind of Snow Mountain Faction. I still have not gotten your names.”

  Before Zhou Zhiruo could say anything, Ancient Wind could tell that the two next to her should be the first elites to have entered the sights of the teachers from the six great system-allocated sects. He thus immediately had the idea to become friends with them.

  \r \r \r

  “My friend’s Momo, and I’m Happy.”

  When Ancient Wind heard Happy introduce Momo, he put on a contemplative expression, as if he was trying to link her name to the names on the various ranking boards, which was why when he heard Happy introduce himself, he hesitated for a few seconds before he quickly came to a realization, and shock appeared on his face.

  “Top player on the Famous People Rank! Happy, it’s actually you?! I’ve heard of your name for a long time!” Ancient Wind’s face was filled with surprise and crazed delight. His attention instantly shifted completely to Happy.

  “You praise me too much.”

  “I definitely did not praise you too much. I was puzzled just now and was wondering who on earth could get the attention of the teachers from the six sects. I didn’t expect it to be you.”

  Ancient Wind looked excited, and his slightly exaggerated words caused the people who had went to Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect to look at them. Their gazes wandered about Happy’s face, and their eyes began to sparkle with even more vigor than before.

  “The teachers are discussing something of great importance, so it’d be best if you kept quiet,” Zhou Zhiruo reminded him at the perfect moment. Clearly, she was very displeased with Ancient Wind making a fuss out of nothing.

  “Urk, sorry.” Ancient Wind clearly did not want to leave behind a bad impression in Zhou Zhiruo’s heart, and he apologized repeatedly. His voice also became much softer.

  Zhou Zhiruo repeated the words she just said to Happy, then opened her mouth to give them a little more information.

  “Five Banner Division is divided into Sharp Gold Banner, Great Log Banner, Tidal Wave Banner, Scorching Fire Banner, and Great Earth Banner. Each banner contains astonishing fighting prowess. Five Banner Division has protected the evil cult for some time, and their movements cannot be predicted.

  “They have been keeping a guard on the path to Light Summit, and there is no way to fend against them effectively. Many of the scouts from our sects have either died or were heavily injured by their hands. Up until now, we haven’t managed to make any progress. We can only wait for the day the heroes gathered in this place to force our way up Light Summit.”

  “Five Banner Division?”

  Ancient Wind’s expression grew solemn as he listened attentively. In the movies, when Ming Cult defended against the attacks of the six sects, Five Banner Division played a huge part in the battle. They killed countless wandering martial artists, and their abilities were much stronger than of the disciples from the branch cults.

  “Aside from killing the enemies, you must also be careful of Great Earth Banner’s ambush from the tunnels, Tidal Wave Banner’s poison, Sharp Gold Banner’s arrows and throwing axes……

  “When there is a need for it, pay attention to and protect your companions nearby.”

  The system’s notification arrived.

  “Ding!

  “Received subquest. On the way to attack Light Summit, protect the important Emei Sect disciple Zhou Zhiruo, Zhou Zhiruo’s eldest senior sister, and Zhou Zhiruo’s second senior sister.”

  The trio looked at each other. It was clear that they had all accepted the quest.

  Zhou Zhiruo continued to give them more information.

  “There is also one more thing that you need to pay attention to when we attack Light Summit. Beware of the flag bearers of Five Banner Division, along with their elites. If you kill them, you can destroy the operational system of Five Banner Division and reduce the teamwork between the division.”

  The system gave another notification.

  “Ding!

  “Received assassination subquest. On your way to attack Light Summit, with every normal disciple from Five Banner Division or Ming Cult member you kill, you will gain one point. With every flag bearer you kill, you will gain ten points. With every Five Banner Division elite you kill, you will gain thirty points! Once the battle ends, you can ask for rewards from Mistress Annihilation.”

  The others also received their subquests, and when they looked at Happy, their gazes sparkled even more.

  If Happy’s actions had not inspired them, they would not have received those subquests and shortened the distance between them and the six great system-allocated sects. It was something that even the players who were disciples of the six sects were not privileged to have. They could only trigger their own quests while they were at Light Summit.

  Since the quest had not officially begun, and there was still a long time before the battle at Light Summit would begin, Happy and Momo discussed among themselves to log off for a while. The moment the quest was about to officially begin, they would log in.

  Happy used that period of time to eat all the food that Xu Xin had prepared beforehand for him. He then rested for a while before he returned to the game.

  When he logged in, he noticed that the atmosphere nearby had become slightly different.

  There were more people around!

  When he logged off, there were only seven players behind the teachers of the six great system-allocated sects. Right then, there were more than thirty people behind them. It was a number that would have been insignificant in his previous life, but when it happened right then, it was a very surprising number.

  What caught Happy’s attention the most was Class One Hall’s Blood Robes and Dream Clouds appearing together at Mount Hua Sect’s camp. When they noticed Happy’s gaze, they looked over at the same time, and their eyes focused.

  “Happy, we finally meet.” Blood Robes smiled and stood up elegantly before he walked over. He smiled broadly and said, “Let’s get to know each other. I’m Blood Robes, and am currently a vice hall master of Class One Hall.”

  ‘I obviously know you.’

  Happy would naturally not say those words. Blood Robes was the person who had met him in reality in his previous life and got him drunk before he proceeded to destroy everything in his life.

  Happy suppressed his urge to draw his sword while looking at the other’s smiling face and stood up slowly.

  “You’re Blood Robes. You’re the one who led the team during the fight against Beautiful Robes Faction……”

  Blood Robes placed his hands behind his back and said with his smile ever present, “Heh, friendship grows in an exchange of blows. I am truly regretful toward your friends and Beautiful Robes Faction.”

  His tone and expression made him seem incredibly sincere, but Happy could clearly sense that Blood Robes was trying to make him mad.

  Momo had also been paying attention to Blood Robes after she logged in. When she heard his words, she tightened her grip over her longsword.
