“Hall master, we’ve got the attributes for Heaven Crystal!”

  “What is it?!”

  As Dream Clouds stared at the Class One Hall member who rushed over, she finally removed her attention from the multiple letters pertaining to various information. Her fierce gaze landed on the person’s face.

  *****

  At that moment, Class One Hall, which had nearly overturned the Chinese world of martial artists and ruled over it in the past, had forgone all its lavish life and shifted its office to a simple private room in a restaurant. Its members had also been reduced to fewer than one hundred thousand members.

  Dream Clouds originally thought that she would have to live through a period of extreme boredom. But after the two major branches in Vietnam and Thailand were destroyed, she was pushed into an unprecedentedly anxious and grave situation. She did not dare to slack off even in the slightest every single day. She had to use her full strength to gather Happy and One Emperor’s information, along with all the development trends for Lovely Land. One Emperor personally led thousands of elites from Lovely Land and Wind Assault Tower to ambush Vietnam and Thailand. Not only did he manage to destroy Class One Hall’s branches, he once again managed to chase them away from their temporary station, and they had to flee in a pathetic fashion. In fact, he had even managed to destroy Wild Wolves’ foundations in those two places and supported the local forces to regain their positions in their own lands.

  Those two battles had not only severely damaged Class One Hall’s core, they had also delivered a loud, resounding slap across Wild Wolves’ face. It caused Dream Clouds, Evil Emperor, and all the people in the world to once again regard the Chinese plains’ combat strength outside their borders with importance, and they also had to face Happy’s long-term vision with importance.

  Dream Clouds knew very well that it was precisely because of her repeated mistakes and her act of underestimating Happy that led to the current situation. Naturally, she began to increase her efforts in gathering information about Happy’s actions, and she did so attentively.

  Over the past few days, Happy showed off his might at Song House, forced Evil King, who became One with the World, and obtained Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy.

  Now, the world was notified that he killed Sword Sect’s master.

  The ancient divine weapon, Heaven Crystal, had also reappeared in the world of martial artists because of Happy.

  The series of major events that shocked the world caused Dream Clouds to understand that Happy did not stop progressing forward because of Class One Hall and Wild Wolves’ failures.

  Lovely Land was still developing at an astonishing pace, and the Imperial Army, which was widely known in the game right now, might become a powerful force Lovely Land would use outside the Chinese borders. All signs and Class One Hall’s current situation caused the hall master to forcefully remove herself from her dispirited state.

  To Dream Clouds, if she did not actively try to handle the situation, perhaps Class One Hall’s temporary loss of power might turn into permanent exile! She would never be able to enter the Chinese plains and take over it anymore!

  *****

  “Heaven Crystal is made from the Five-colored Stone left behind in the world when Nüwa repaired the pillar of heaven. Its might is great. Of course, this is just a legend. Heaven Crystal has been in the Nangong Clan’s possession all this while, and it was once the sword of the clan masters. Because of Heaven Crystal, the Nangong Clan reached the peak of its glory.”

  In the private room, the Class One Hall member told Dream Clouds all the information that he obtained from the diviner through much difficulty.

  “However, later on, the Nangong Clan fought against an evil force which was at the height of its power. The clan master died in the battle, and Heavenly Crystal was broken. Ever since then, the Nangong Clan fell into decline.

  “The broken Heaven Crystal fell into Sword Sect’s hands. The Nangong Clan and the mighty northern clan worked together to recreate it in the furnace. No one knows what method Sword Sect’s master used, but he obtained the complete Heaven Crystal. However, based on the information from the mighty northern clan, Heaven Crystal contains a violent and ruthless demonic presence, and it is no longer the strongest ancient divine weapon in the world. The demonic presence in the sword is violent and brutal, and when it injures others, it will also injure the user. It seems that even Sword Sect’s master is unable to master it, which is why he brought the sword to Heavenly Lake. He used three years to nourish Heaven Crystal and seal off the demonic presence in it.”

  “.……”

  Dream Clouds slowly put on a surprised expression. “Even an elite like Sword Sect’s master is unable to master it?”

  \r \r \r

  “That’s right, but after being sealed, the current Heaven Crystal seems to now be infinitesimally close to its former strength. But the Sword Sect elites who fled from Heavenly Lake said that there seems to be a peerless classic called Heaven Lake Art contained in Heaven Crystal. If it’s used with Heaven Crystal, all those with Heaven Crystal would be invincible—”

  Slap!

  Before he finished speaking, the Class One Hall looked up in shock, and he was just in time to see a dark face.

  By the looks, Dream Clouds was incredibly agitated and angry.

  “Happy, what a rascal. He brought peace to the Chinese plains and had One Emperor go out of the Chinese plains to chase down the remaining forces of Class One Hall, but even so, he’s still so lucky…… Being invincible? Is he so eager to kill us as soon as possible so that Class One Hall will not have the chance to make a comeback?”

  To her, right now, Lovely Land stood at the top of the Chinese plains, and with Wandering know-it-all helping him, there was no one who could stop Happy from obtaining Heaven Crystal as well as Heaven Crystal Art.

  If the table made of solid pear wood in the private room had not been incredibly sturdy, perhaps Class One Hall would have another thing added to their debt.

  The Class One Hall member had a thought appear in his mind, and he reminded her, “Hall master, I heard that someone stole Heaven Crystal. The clues point to Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction. Happy might not have obtained Heaven Crystal!”

  “Sword Sect’s master has died in Happy’s hands. Do you think a nameless and small faction like Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction will be able to stop Happy from getting Heaven Crystal?”

  “Sword Sect’s master led to the egression of someone who is walking down the dao of heaven. This means that the masters of the sects are not to be easily provoked. It won’t be easy for Happy to commit murder in Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction.”

  “So what……? Even a true elite who is walking down the dao of heaven will not be able to stop Happy. He is the strongest person in the Chinese plains, and he has great ambition to boot! No one can compare to him in terms of strategizing and skills. He won’t give up on Heaven Crystal just because of one elite walking down the dao of heaven. The ancient divine weapon is going to eventually end up in his hands.” Dream Clouds no longer dared to underestimate Happy now. While she shook her head, she sighed.

  “There is only one person who has the ability to stop Happy in this world, and that is Evil Emperor.”

  But Dream Clouds knew that unless Evil Emperor found a suitable chance after he suffered his defeat at the Chinese plains, he would definitely not make a comeback and continue to fight tooth and nail at the Chinese plains.

  The elites in the Chinese plains were led by Happy, and Wandering Know-it-all could also fend against the wild wolves tactic used by Wild Wolves. The Chinese plains could not be conquered like other countries. In the end, Class One Hall’s future would just become even more bleak, and their chances of launching a counterattack in the Chinese plains was getting smaller.

  *****

  With Wandering Know-it-all’s help, Happy practically did not need to use his brain to search for anyone in the Chinese plains.

  Happy saw the person of the second segment of the series of quests related to Heaven Crystal in a normal mansion in Beijing. This person would provide him with the clues, and he was Lu Xiaofeng.

  This person was known as practically a legend by the people in the world of martial artists when it came to solving cases. His fame as a constable in the game was practically greater than his Perception Finger.

  However, as a famous person in World of Martial Arts and a person who had a position in the Chinese court as well as the court of the world of wanderers, it was very difficult to find him when it was not office hours.

  Happy was only able to find him with no difficulty because he brought two pots of good Red Daughter from a restaurant beforehand, which was how he managed to lure Lu Xiaofeng out of the mansion.

  The door of the mansion opened with a creak, even though it was supposed to be shut all year long. A boisterous laugh came out from within.

  “That’s the smell of high grade Red Daughter. Someone important must have arrived—” A handsome man of about thirty came out eagerly of the mansion. As he spoke, his moustache quivered, and it was incredibly eye-catching.

  Four Eyebrows.

  Right when Lu Xiaofeng opened his door and came out of his mansion, he saw Happy smiling outside the door, along with the two pots of Red Daughter which had their seals removed. The smile on his face froze a little.

  “It’s you!”

  When Lu Xiaofeng saw the person outside the door, his expression and tone showed great surprise.

  Happy was not surprised by this at all. Lu Xiaofeng was a member of the court and a wanderer. He had information channels in the government and the civilians. He was unlike Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction, which could only control the information in its region due to its isolated nature.

  Happy smiled faintly and filtered Lu Xiaofeng’s stiff expression. He threw a pot of the Red Daughters in his hand over.

  “.……”

  Lu Xiaofeng’s body instinctively moved out of the mansion. He held the pot of wine, and not a single drop of it spilled.

  The fragrance of high grade Red Daughter wafted into his nose. His eyebrows and moustache quivered at the same time. He threw his head back and poured the wine into his mouth, and his stiff expression was instantly gone. He regained his lackadaisical and cynical temperament.

  This was the same as the series of quests for Heaven Crystal which Happy carried out in the world three years ago. Lu Xiaofeng opened up the topic of conversation easily and just spilled everything that he knew and did not know to Happy without holding.

  “Only my good friends know how to come to me with Red Daughters. Sect Master Happy, since you know of this hobby of mine, you should know that I have my own principle when I help someone as well. I wonder why you came to me this time.” Lu Xiaofeng happily drank a few mouthfuls of wine before he turned to Happy once more and said, “If it’s something against the righteous sects or to harm the world, I don’t care how strong you are, you can forget about getting even a single piece of information from me.”

  “Since I brought Red Daughters here, I naturally know about your rules. Don’t worry, I won’t make things hard for you.”

  Happy was prepared for this since a long time ago. While he spoke, he tossed the second pot of wine over.

  Under Lu Xiaofeng’s surprised gaze, the pot of wine formed a strange arc that flew straight to Ximen Chuixue’s mansion.

  A white figure jumped up and appeared on the wall. His icy cold temperament and sharp features was filled with a faint, refreshing sword will. He calmly drew his sword with one hand.

  Slap.

  The pot of wine landed on the longsword steadily. None of it spilled out of the pot.

  When they saw the person, practically all the people who came over because they heard of what was happening could not help but suck in sharp breaths.

  Ximen Chuixue!

  Ever since his disciple fought against One Emperor at the Forbidden City, Ximen Chuixue lived in seclusion and never showed up in front of the people.

  With just two pots of wine, Happy managed to lure out these two elites at the peak of Myth Realm!

  Happy’s smile did not fade away when he faced Ximen Chuixue’s refreshing and cold sword will, which was like the air in a snow mountain. “Senior Ximen, you don’t have to worry. I am not an evil person, and I will not do anything harmful to Brother Lu.”

  “.……”

  Ximen Chuixue stood on the wall and looked down. He did not take over the conversation, but his expression turned gentler.

  “Don’t take it to heart. Sword Sect’s master’s death caused him to be really sensitive right now. Besides, you have committed quite a lot of crimes in Beijing. No one would treat you as a real Shaolin Temple disciple, Sect Master Happy. You’re currently just as dangerous as Evil King.” Lu Xiaofeng held his pot and sat on the steps outside the mansion. Even though he said those words, he still looked completely nonchalant.

  “But you’re not afraid of me at all.” Happy’s expression was indifferent, as if the one who did all those things was not him.

  Lu Xiaofeng blinked. “I could care less about the conflicts between sects. You did indeed force Evil King to retreat from Song House. As for Sword Sect’s master, I believe that it’s an unfortunate caused by Heaven Crystal. Did you come to me to ask me to help you search for the person who stole Heaven Crystal?”
