There were two winding paths of light at the heart of the huge natural mountain, but the area they illuminated was very limited. Most of them were shrouded in darkness.
Wan Wan's devilishly alluring body moved out of the shadows, and her watery eyes, which seemed to be filled with resentment, landed on Happy.
Happy was dressed in a long robe and had a Recondite Steel Heavy Sword on his back. His tall and handsome face was paired with the ridiculously large sword, and he gave off a gentle presence as well as a fierce and wild air.
"Did your master send you to deal with me?"
"Don't worry, I won't tell my master that you killed a junior brother who guarded the gate of Yin Weed Faction." Wan Wan's eyes sparkled as she walked forward lightly. Her figure under the thin veil was even more alluring, and it made people's hearts race.
Happy smiled and took a step forward.
"If that's the case, I'll have to thank you properly, Miss Wan Wan."
"…"
Wan Wan immediately retreated dozens of feet backward like a frightened deer. "I can't afford to do that. You're a famous Demon Paragon right now, and you can come and go as you please even though you committed a heinous crime in an important place in Beijing. How can a normal disciple of Yin Weed Faction stop you? Tell me, what is your goal for coming to Yin Weed Faction? "
"Demon?"
When he heard the title from Wan Wan's mouth, Happy was stunned.
"Hmph!"
Wan Wan seemed to feel that this was the first time her presence was suppressed by a disciple of the younger generation. She let out a cute, nasal sound in a rather indignant manner. "Evil King told my master that even though you're a Shaolin Temple disciple, you've committed heinous crimes in Beijing, and you've already entered the evil path! Thousands of people died in your hands, and blood flowed like rivers, but you still managed to escape from the encirclement of the four elites in Beijing. You've shaken off them multiple times, and the cities nearby seem to be deserted. Your skills have already reached transcendent level, and you're worthy of the title of demon. What I mean is that even the people of the evil path have to regard you highly. "
"The evil cult just wants us in the righteous path to fight to the death. Go back and tell Evil King that I'm not worthy of the title of demon." When he heard Wan Wan's explanation, Happy said indifferently, "Besides, I don't have any intention of working with you in your evil deeds."
"Since we're not on the same path, why did you come to Yin Weed Faction? Right now, the world is huge, and no matter where you go, you will be chased by the elites of the imperial court. This is the only place where you won't be found. You didn't come here to seek protection from us, did you come here to cause trouble for Yin Weed Faction? "
Wan Wan's tone changed, and a hint of vigilance appeared in her eyes.
"I'm here for Evil King! Call him out!"
Since he was already acting in a demonic manner, Happy was not afraid of continuing to be ostentatious in front of Evil King. Evil Emperor was about to come out of isolated training, and he did not have a lot of time to waste here.
Wan Wan's expression changed, and she became much more solemn.
"You came to Yin Weed Faction to search for Evil King?"
"Didn't you just say that the Evil King evaluated me as a demon? I just left the capital city a few days ago. Don't tell me that the Evil King isn't here?"
"When I go back, I'd like to see just who dares to publicly deduce Evil King's location. That person sure has guts!" Wan Wan snorted coldly with a cold expression.
Happy was slightly shocked. He knew that once Wan Wan said those words, she would definitely send someone to investigate who managed to deduce Evil King's location. At that time, Wandering Know-it-all would face a threat. But he soon had his thoughts at ease. Even if they took action, they would only need to fight against a diviner at Wan Wan's level. With Wind Chimes' abilities, she could handle them. Besides, there were quite a number of Wandering Know-it-all's followers in Beijing.
"Enough with the nonsense. Call Evil King out, or else, I will make Yin Weed Faction bleed in rivers today!" Happy's murderous shout finally caused Wan Wan's expression to become stern.
She did not answer.
Happy suddenly frowned. He turned his head around and cast his gaze at the depths of Torch Trail.
"So, Evil King is already here. Then show yourself. Hiding doesn't seem like the style of the sect master of Flowers Sect, and it doesn't suit your status as the strongest in the evil cult either."
"I'm very curious. What is your goal for coming to me this time?" Evil King's indistinct voice rose from everywhere in the empty mountainside.
"Evil King, you sure are forgetful …"
Happy mocked him.
"Have you forgotten about the two stone plates you took away from the Arhat Formation during the battle at Dafo Temple?"
"What does that have to do with you? Or have you already become Kind Boathouse's lapdog? No … Kind Boathouse has always had a close relationship with the royal family, and it's impossible for them to let a little demon like you, who has a murderous nature, come to me. Could it be that you want to take this stone plate from me?"
'Want?'
A thought appeared in Happy's head, and the words that were already at the tip of his tongue changed.
"If Evil King is willing to let me understand it, it will naturally be for the best."
Even though he had a slight chance of winning against Evil King when he fought against him, this was still Yin Weed Faction, which was Empress Yin's nest. If he had to fight against two people at the same time, even if Happy had a lot of Fire Qilin Blood, he did not have absolute confidence that he could snatch the stone plate from Evil King.
"I don't mind giving you one of the stone plates belonging to the divine monk of Dafo Temple."
Evil King's answer delighted Happy, but the words he said next caused his smile to fade away. "But you must promise me that you will help me do something."
"That will depend on what it is."
Happy no longer held much hope, because he knew that the evil cult's quests had always been harsh, and they were all aimed at the righteous sects.
Even though he was currently wanted by the imperial court, his Chivalry Points were in the negative, and he could not even get close to the righteous sects, he still did not want to completely fall into the path of evil!
"It's simple."
As he spoke, the Evil King finally appeared.
It had been a few days since they last met, and Evil King's aura had become firmer. He leisurely chose a stone that was high up and sat down before he looked at Happy.
"Although the stone tablet belongs to the divine monk, since it's in my hands, it belongs to the Holy Gate. How can we hand over the treasure of the Holy Gate to a righteous Shaolin disciple?"
"…"
Happy frowned when he heard that.
At that moment, Evil King's tone changed. "Of course, your master is from Shaolin Temple, and you have a great connection with Shaolin Temple. You also have a connection with the young sect master of Sky Demon Sect, who passed down his legacy to you. I will naturally not let you betray Shaolin Temple and do something like deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors."
"What are you trying to say?"
"I want to be certain that once you obtain the stone tablet, you will not become enemies with the evil cult and will not fight against the Holy Gate. But words alone are useless. I want you to do something for me, and I won't make things difficult for you. Bring me the head of a grandmaster from a righteous sect, and I will give you the stone tablet."
Once he said those words, even Wan Wan, who had been silent by the side, could not help but have her expression change. Shock appeared on her face.
Assassinate a grandmaster from a righteous sect!
Happy's expression turned even darker.
This was even more impossible than betraying Shaolin Temple.
The grandmasters from the righteous sects Evil King mentioned were the people in charge of those sects. They were the abbot of Shaolin Temple and the spiritual leaders of Wudang Sect, like Zhang Sanfeng.
If he assassinated any one of them, he would become complete enemies with the righteous sects, and he would be hunted down by the entire righteous sect! In fact, he might even become mortal enemies with a sect forever.
…
"Ding!
A system notification suddenly rose.
"Will you accept Evil King's quest? Kill any grandmaster from a sect that is not in the evil cult, and you will be scorned by the righteous path?
"If you accept the quest and succeed in carrying it out, you will obtain Evil King's trust, and you will obtain a stone tablet that is the legacy of the divine monk from Dafo Temple. If you fail, you will still be scorned by the righteous path, and you will be chased down by the righteous sects for a week!
"Please make your choice."
…
"If it's a grandmaster from an evil cult, I will attack right now."
Happy had already made his decision. His gaze darkened, and as he spoke, he slowly extended his hand to his back and grabbed Recondite Steel Heavy Sword while he stared at Evil King.
"Looks like you don't want to accept it."
Evil King sighed in slight regret. "What's wrong with joining the evil cult? Why must you adhere to the rules of the righteous path? It's a pity … If you could completely join the evil cult, in the future, you will definitely become an elite in the evil cult that surpasses me. Not only will you become the strongest in the evil cult, you will even become the strongest in the world!"
Evil King's plan was indeed good, but Happy knew that the righteous path could not restrain him while he was in the game. If he agreed to Evil King's quest, he would truly be restrained, and he would have to be careful when he walked the world of martial artists.
He immediately said coldly, "Taking your life and snatching the stone tablet from your hands is the same to me."
When Evil King heard this, he flew into a rage.
"How preposterous!"
A violent mental pressure descended from the sky along with a momentum that surged into the sky. The mountainside suddenly looked as if it had all the air sucked out by an invisible force, and the dimension froze.
Happy remained calm. When he faced Evil King's palm strike that came at him without a sound, his gaze focused slightly.
Petite Dragon!
His body moved horizontally by three feet.
With a bang, a deep and clear palm print was left on the wall where he originally stood. It was several inches deep into the stone, and it was a terrifying sight.
Happy easily avoided the palm strike and tapped against the ground with a relaxed expression. He moved like a phantom and appeared on a stone sixty-five feet away. He stood face to face with Evil King, and they were less than sixty-five feet away from each other.
"Both of us had our fortuitous encounters during the battle at Dafo Temple. I wonder whether Evil King has successfully understood the secret in the stone tablet."
While Happy spoke, he quietly jumped into the air, looked down, and swung his sword.
Whoosh!
When he sensed the profound secret contained in Happy's sword slash, Evil King's expression darkened. His expression became incredibly stern and solemn. For a period of time, a thick layer of golden flames suddenly surged out of his body. He struck the air repeatedly with his hands, and in an instant, several roaring black palm prints were formed.
Wan Wan might have already reached the middle stage of Myth Realm, but she stood far away and did not join the battle.
However, when she saw that Evil King had immediately activated his body fortification technique when he faced Happy, she could not help but have a hint of disbelief and shock appear in her eyes.
But soon …
Wan Wan's attention was attracted by an even more shocking and unbelievable scene.
It was in the dark sky above the mountainside.
As Happy swung his sword with the force of a thunderbolt, ripples that were difficult to see with the naked eye appeared in the air behind him.
One!
Two!
Three!
At the moment the attack descended, the three ripples overlapped with each other in a miraculous manner, and all of them fused into Recondite Steel Heavy Sword.
Boom!
Right when the palm prints Evil King delivered in an instant touched the sword force from Recondite Steel Heavy Sword, they were cut apart like tofu by the heavy sword, and they were destroyed with ease.
The sword force charged in front of Evil King with an unstoppable force.
Even though its power had been greatly reduced, the dull hum that tore through the air was still terrifying, and it was not to be underestimated.
During that critical moment, Evil King flew into a rage. An astonishing presence rose from his body, and under Wan Wan and Happy's shocked gazes, he went up against the attack with one hand and seized Recondite Steel Heavy Sword.
Suppress him!
The suppression effect that Happy expected did not appear.
Instead, when Evil King faced the incredibly threatening sword slash, his qi increased violently, and he broke through the shackles of the peak of Myth Realm. Wind and clouds surged above his head, and his qi rose to another realm.
When Happy saw Evil King holding Recondite Steel Heavy Sword with one hand and looking as if a demon had descended, he found himself speechless.
He reached a breakthrough.
Evil King had actually reached One with the World at this accursed moment!
