"It's so lively here."
"Haha! I didn't expect that the richest person in the world, Hu Baiwan, and the Murong Clan would gather here. Sect Master Zhu Yu, looks like we came to the right place. The rumors about the desert palace are most likely true!"
A carefree and awe-inspiring voice traveled into the room from outside the door, and it instantly caused the atmosphere in the inn that had been controlled to ripple unavoidably. Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Everyone's gazes were attracted to the door.
That included Hu Baiwan and the white-clad teenager. They were slightly distracted by the sudden voice, and they looked over in surprise.
They saw …
A middle-aged man and woman with an elegant presence walked in from outside the door in an incredibly arrogant manner. Their footsteps were relaxed, and they brought with them a proud air that made others feel ashamed of their inferiority. They moved through the crowd as if there was no one around them, and they arrived at the center of the hall.
"Evil King …"
"Empress Yin!"
The people in the area could not help but let out soft cries of surprise.
They had just been stunned by Happy working together with the Murong Clan, and the situation in Dragon Gate Inn had been stabilized. But at this critical moment, two demons who ruled over the Chinese plains had appeared. The people in the area were all stunned.
"So, it's you two …"
Hu Baiwan's expression was dark at that moment. He had lost one of his generals, and he no longer had the right to compete with Evil King for the desert palace. He had to take the initiative to greet them.
More elites came from the Chinese plains, and Hu Baiwan became even more determined to leave the place. Even though he had been planning for a long time to get to the desert palace, things had already progressed to this point, and he could do nothing about it.
"Alright, I promise you." Hu Baiwan turned to Happy and nodded in agreement to Happy's request. Then, he turned to Osaya and cast her a profound glance.
The next moment, Happy received a system notification.
"Before the quest to get to the desert palace ends, Osaya will temporarily serve as your follower, and she will fully cooperate with your orders."
At that moment, Happy looked away from sizing them up.
He had noticed their arrival just now, and when he cast a glance at them, his pupils shrank slightly. He was incredibly shocked.
Evil King was as powerful and mysterious as ever, but Empress Yin …
Happy noticed that the presence that enveloped Empress Yin had become strange and difficult to figure out. Her entire body seemed to be enveloped by a layer of black fog, and she was incredibly charming and mysterious. She also had the familiar presence of the dao of heaven.
When he saw this, Happy instantly remembered that Wan Wan had mentioned that Empress Yin was in isolated training when he retrieved the second stone plate before he left the Chinese plains.
When he thought of this, he could not help but suck in a deep breath. He lamented in his heart that he had made the right move.
Empress Yin had indeed gone into isolated training and reached the dao of heaven!
Right now, Evil King and Empress Yin were the two true elites in the dao of heaven.
If he had asked for Hu Baiwan's three ultimate martial art manuals for the sake of temporary benefits and let Osaya go, his next mission might have been much more difficult.
Evil King alone was already very difficult to deal with. If Empress Yin Zhu Yuyan, who had just entered One with the World Realm, Happy no longer had a chance.
Fortunately …
In the end, he was not swayed by the temptation, and he did not ignore the essence of the quest because of everything in front of him!
Even though the quest had been announced to the entire Chinese server, Happy did not forget that he was the one who truly carried out the quest.
The mission was the most important!
It would be the saddest if they forgot about the dangers and opportunities in the desert palace for the sake of some small rewards in the mission.
Right now, the desert palace had yet to be activated, and three elites in the dao of heaven had already arrived. At the same time, there was also a pseudo elite in the dao of heaven known as the Master of Gu Poison and more than one hundred Myth Realm elites.
When he thought of this, he suddenly had an even clearer understanding of the difficulty of the quest in the forbidden land, and just how many dangers were hidden in it.
…
"Let's go!"
Once they completed the trade, Hu Baiwan brought his people and was prepared to leave Dragon Gate Inn without any hesitation.
When the group passed by Evil King and Empress Yin, Hu Baiwan intentionally stopped and wrapped his fist in his palm. "Farewell."
"Oh?"
Evil King and Empress Yin did not understand the reason behind it when they first arrived at Dragon Gate Inn, but they knew Hu Baiwan's abilities in West Region and the Chinese server, as well as the large information network he had in secret. When they saw Hu Baiwan's group of injured and sick people, they quirked an eyebrow and subconsciously looked at the shattered tables and chairs that were scattered all over the inn. "Brother Hu, where are you going?"
"I'm ashamed to say this. My skills are not as good as yours, and I don't have the face to continue staying here. If you're free, you can come to West Region as a guest.
Hu Baiwan sighed again and wrapped his fist in his palm at the two Chinese elites with astonishing presences. Then, he walked past Evil King and Empress Yin warily and left Dragon Gate Inn.
Evil King and Empress Yin were shocked by Hu Baiwan's pathetic state, especially when they saw the Master of Gu Poison being supported while he was heavily injured. Their eyebrows gradually furrowed, and they looked around the inn before their gazes quickly landed on the white-clad teenager not too far away as well as the alluring Osaya.
Evil King quickly came to a realization that Hu Baiwan's departure should be related to these two people. As for the Murong Clan elites behind them, they were selectively filtered out.
"You two look very familiar."
Evil King turned around and spoke with a profound tone.
The gentle middle-aged man did not seem to be dangerous, but Happy knew Evil King very well. Ever since he came out of the Buddha statues, Evil King had become even more terrifying and unfathomable.
The invisible presence of someone in the dao of heaven enveloped them.
Empress Yin and Osaya instantly noticed Evil King's actions.
The two women only faced him calmly and did not interfere.
Empress Yin did so because she saw that the white-clad teenager's qi realm was not high. Since Evil King had personally taken action to test him, it naturally had nothing to do with her. She did not manage to recognize that the disguised person in front of her was someone she knew.
As for Osaya, she did not care about him at all.
Even the Master of Gu Poison had been defeated by the white-clad teenager in just one exchange. She did not think that Evil King's pressure would be effective.
'I knew it.'
When Evil King noticed that his pressure did not have any effect on the white-clad teenager in front of him, his expression became stern, just as she expected.
Because as time passed, the people from the Murong Clan gradually noticed his actions. Three elites at the peak of Myth Realm and two elites at the later stage of Myth Realm took a step forward at the same time and arrived behind him. In an imperceptible manner, they managed to force his pressure back.
"Hmph!"
Empress Yin had just entered the dao of heaven, but she was not weak. She snorted coldly and was prepared to work together with Evil King to intimidate the Murong Clan and the white-clad teenager in front of her.
But right when she was prepared to attack, a presence that was similar to hers suddenly rose from Osaya's body. Under the guidance of her qi, she subconsciously changed her target and formed an independent battlefield where they stood against each other.
Because of it, Evil King gained an even clearer understanding of the white-clad teenager's relationship with the Murong Clan. He cast a deep glance at the mysterious Osaya before he quietly retracted his pressure and flung his sleeves.
"You do indeed have some ability."
Even though he said that, Evil King had already treated the people in front of him as powerful enemies.
One elite in the dao of heaven, several elites at the peak of Myth Realm, and an unfathomable white-clad teenager were enough to threaten his and Empress Yin's goal for coming here.
"Owner!"
Once Evil King turned around, the tense atmosphere in the inn instantly disappeared.
Jin Xiangyu craned her head out of the kitchen with a strange and complicated expression. She looked around before she placed her hands on her hips and swayed as she walked out.
"Those bastards. They messed up my inn, and they didn't even compensate me with silver. Next time, I'll … I'll definitely make them pay for it."
Jin Xiangyu might be angry, but she did not reveal anything in time.
She ordered a few employees to clean up the inn and set up the tables, chairs, and benches. The hall of the inn quickly looked brand new, and the group sat down.
But the side hall to the right was given up.
He cast a glance at Evil King and agreed to Murong Xun's suggestion without hesitation. The group occupied the side hall to the right.
Evil King and Empress Yin were not the only ones who came. Demon General Zhao Deyan and Priest Xi Yin were also beside them. Once the four of them looked around, they cast their gazes at the side hall to the left.
"…"
Phantasmal Shadow and the others were shocked.
Before Evil King and his party could turn around, the group had already retreated from the side hall to the left and took the initiative to give up their seats.
Evil King and his group naturally walked over and sat down without any hesitation.
Evil King and his group were not to be trifled with, and they could not offend the people in the side hall to the right either. Unfortunately for them, Phantasmal Shadow and her group could only sit in the hall.
But when they were surrounded by a few elites in the dao of heaven and surrounded by a group of people, Phantasmal Shadow and her group felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
This feeling …
It was really unbearable!
It was especially so for the players who were not strong to begin with.
Right now, the desert palace had yet to appear, and the elites in the dao of heaven and the richest merchant in the world had already been kicked out of the game. They felt that their future was bleak, and quite a number of people could not stand the depressing and tense atmosphere in the inn after sitting for a while and left the inn.
Even though Hu Baiwan left, the situation in the inn became even more complicated.
But Happy no longer intended to care about the replacement of the people in the inn.
"I will never forget your kindness in helping me. I, Murong Xun, propose a toast to you on behalf of the entire clan." Murong Xun did not forget that he was only able to stand here because of the mysterious white-clad teenager's help. Once he raised his toast, he cast a glance at Thousand-faced Human Fox, whose origins he could not tell. "And you, my friend …"
"You're too polite."
Happy answered faintly, lifted his cup, and took a sip before he stopped.
The people from the Murong Clan might think that the white-clad teenager was very arrogant, but they could still put up with him. After all, his strength was indeed extraordinary.
Thousand-faced Human Fox was very sensible and did not sit down. He continued standing behind Happy and acted as his follower. When he faced Murong Xun's toast, he said calmly, "Clan Leader Murong, if you want to thank someone, thank my master.
"… Murong Clan Leader, if you want to thank someone, thank my master. I'm just following my master's orders." When he spoke, he did not even bat an eyelid.
The master and servant's arrogance seemed flawless, and it caused others to be unable to help but guess the white-clad teenager's identity.
But Happy's other follower, Osaya, did not lower her stance. She casually sat beside Happy and ignored Murong Xun's words. The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
