Thud, thud, thud, thud …
The galloping sounds were like thunder, and sand flew everywhere.
Silver Wolf and his group charged for more than half an hour in the desert. In the distance, they finally saw a group of buildings at the horizon of the desert.
"We're here."
Silver Wolf held the reins at the top of a sand dune with a calm expression. He looked down and said, "The town ahead is our destination, Flame Town! When we get there, we'll have a good drink and get rid of our bad luck. "
"We've been chased by those bastards from the Embroidered Uniform Guards for a long time. We should search for a place to rest. I'm so hungry that my stomach is cramping."
Bar rubbed his tummy in an exaggerated manner and grinned foolishly.
Only Knife would occasionally turn his head around to look behind him in the group. He would occasionally mumble about Tiger Soul and the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance. He looked as if he regretted missing out on an exciting show.
"Let's go!"
He turned his head around and cast a glance at Knife. Then, Silver Wolf slapped his horse and rushed down the sand dune.
"Giddy-up!"
Bar and Thunder did not want to fall behind. They clamped down on their horses' bellies and chased after him down the sand dune while shouting.
"What a bunch of heartless people."
Knife felt gloomy and had to chase after the trio.
His four hooves moved madly, and hot wind blew against his face. Knife found it even more difficult to endure the heat. He could not suppress the gloominess in his heart and caught up to Silver Wolf.
He shouted, "Big Brother Silver Wolf!"
"…"
Silver Wolf did not slow down. He just turned his head around.
Knife did not care about the sand and hot air that entered his mouth.
He said loudly, "Even if we don't fight for Tiger Soul, it'll be good if we stay there and see just who will obtain it. Why did you bring us here in such a hurry?"
"Haha, I wasn't wrong, right? I just knew that brat. He looked distracted all the way here, and I knew that his soul hasn't returned yet! "Bar and Thunder looked at each other and teased each other with a smile.
Knife also knew that he could not hide his thoughts from his friends. "That's an ancient demon vessel, Tiger Soul. I refuse to believe that you don't care about it at all."
The cop shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and pursed his lips with a helpless expression.
"What's the point of caring? It's not destined to be yours. The more you care, the greater the disappointment."
"That's right. Not only is it a waste of time, but it will also put us in danger. Don't forget, with the speed of this mount, it will be caught in the blink of an eye in the desert. I don't want to lose my life before I can complete the quest." Copper was even more direct.
They had retreated from the desert palace. Not only had they decisively given up on Tiger Soul, they had also left the storyline characters Cao Huaian and Mo Yan's group. They had even given up on the quest that they had been working on for half a day. The four of them had sacrificed a lot.
At the mention of missions, Knife became even angrier!
"Dragon Gate Inn was doing fine, but it ended up working together with the desert palace. Cao Huaian and Mo Yan went from saving Yu Qian to stopping Tiger Soul from reappearing in the world of martial artists. I'm going to puke …"
"Alright, if you're done complaining, let's continue on our way. Don't waste time." Silver Wolf's voice came from ahead of them.
"…"
When Silver Wolf spoke, Knife immediately shut up.
He never said anything against Silver Wolf's decisions. This time, it was because Tiger Soul had truly stirred up his greed, which was why he was so restless and uneasy.
"Flame Town …"
Knife's attention finally returned from Tiger Soul, and he suddenly noticed a strange problem. He urged his horse to catch up to Silver Wolf.
"Silver Wolf, this place seems to be the pass between the Chinese plains and the countries in West Region. Shouldn't we head east and return to the Chinese plains? Aren't we going in the opposite direction? "
"…"
Silver Wolf rolled his eyes in resignation when he faced Knife's question. "Tiger Soul has indeed stolen your soul. Have you forgotten our original goal in entering the desert?"
"…"
Knife was stunned.
After staring blankly for a few seconds, he suddenly remembered something very important!
Happy!
Happy was the one who had sent a messenger pigeon and asked them to rush to the desert ahead of time. They were just in time to run into Dragon Gate Inn's quest, the black sandstorm, and the activation of the desert palace.
The series of major events and the appearance of various elites in the dao of heaven brought them an unprecedented shock. Each wave of events was stronger than the last, causing Knife to forget that there was such a thing.
When he thought of this, Knife's expression changed.
"The sect master asked us to come, but he hasn't shown up yet. Where is he?" As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something. His eyes suddenly shone with a faint light, and he stared at Silver Wolf.
Bar and Thunder looked at each other.
Based on Silver Wolf and Knife's conversation, the two of them also thought of something. Since Happy knew beforehand that there would be an important quest in the desert, he would definitely arrive earlier than them.
"The sect master must be wearing a human skin mask and secretly monitoring Tiger Soul's actions in the desert palace … He must be!"
He stopped talking for a moment, and Knife put on a puzzled expression. "Strange, if Happy's goal is Tiger Soul, why did he send us away? Could it be that he's not there? "
When he thought of this, the group of four had already arrived at the foot of the city.
…
Flame Town.
It was a small town located at the westernmost edge of the Chinese plains. It was a town with many years of history, and it housed many people dressed in strange clothes. It was practically a town in West Region.
Flame Town was not like a normal town in the Chinese plains. It did not have tall and sturdy walls and a door made of bronze nails.
There were only mounds of dirt here that seemed to have been emptied out. It looked incredibly desolate and crude.
"…"
"Big Brother Silver Wolf, are you telling me that we came to this place to drink and have fun?" Thunder quirked his eyebrows and stared at the town in front of him. It was so dilapidated that not even the sign of a tavern could be found. He nearly frowned a few times.
"Look up."
Silver Wolf ignored him. He just pointed at the sand wall outside the town.
The trio looked in the direction of the voice.
"Huh?"
"Why is he here?!"
To the left of the sand wall was an incomplete and crude pavilion. There was a young man in white sitting in the pavilion in a relaxed manner. He had a cup of tea in his hand, and there was an old servant standing beside him with a teapot in his hand. He looked incredibly relaxed, as if he was a young master of an aristocratic family who had entered the world and was just passing by this place.
The white-clad young man!
The four of them recognized him at first glance. He was the white-clad young man with unfathomable strength and a mysterious identity who had managed to scatter the alliance master's full-powered strike with just one slash near the quicksand vortex.
Knife, who had been criticizing him in his heart, instantly stared at him as if he was looking at a treasure. He was just short of drooling!
They resisted the urge to shout. The three of them swept their burning gazes back and forth between Silver Wolf's face and the white-clad young man.
"Big Brother Silver Wolf, could it be that you triggered a hidden quest?!"
Regardless of whether it was at Dragon Gate Inn or after the treasures in the desert palace appeared, the white-clad young man's position in their hearts was only second to the alliance master. It was no wonder then why they were so shocked when they saw the white-clad young man.
However, after Silver Wolf observed him carefully for a while, he suddenly sighed with a myriad of emotions in his heart.
"I thought that Happy would definitely miss the show at the desert palace, but I didn't expect that he would be closer to the desert palace than any of us."
"Hmm?"
Knife and the other two did not understand what he meant.
"Come up."
At that moment, a familiar voice reached their ears. At that moment, Happy no longer continued to keep his identity a secret from Silver Wolf and the others.
Aside from Silver Wolf showing an expression that said he had expected this, the other three felt their hearts tremble.
"Sect master!"
"You're the sect master?!"
The trio looked at each other at a loss and blurted out.
…
Once Happy spoke, Silver Wolf and the others did not dare to be negligent. They put away their steeds while feeling skeptical and shocked. They jumped to the top of the city wall and sized up the place quietly.
"You've worked hard over the past few days."
Happy stood up from his seat with light steps.
The white-clad young man swept his gaze over the stone bench. He did not give off any presence, and he looked very relaxed and elegant. No one could tell that he was a player at all.
Even Silver Wolf widened his eyes. When he saw the white-clad young man Happy acted as, deep disbelief and disbelief appeared on his face.
The white-clad young man's actions were free and at ease. His charm and presence were carved into his bones, and he looked like the successor of a famous clan in the world of martial artists! Even if they knew the answer at that moment, they still found it hard to believe. They also had the misconception that they were facing an NPC instead of a player.
Aside from Silver Wolf quickly regaining his composure, the other three looked at each other at a loss and gulped.
"What's wrong?"
When he saw the trio's cautious and restrained expressions, Happy smiled faintly. He raised his hand and pointed at the stone block in the pavilion.
"Sit."
It was only at that moment that the group finally snapped out of their daze.
Under Silver Wolf's lead, the four of them arrived in front of Happy and sat down. Even though they were all tough men, they still felt an inexplicable awe-inspiring and oppressive presence in front of Happy.
Perhaps it was because the white-clad young man had defeated the richest man in the world in the dao of heaven at Dragon Gate Inn, or perhaps it was because he had blocked the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance with just one slash. In the past, he had to work together with Heavenly Saber Song Que before he could fight to a draw against Evil King, but now, the sect master of Lovely Land had become even more unfathomable.
This awe-inspiring and oppressive presence did not bring them any discomfort. Instead, it made them forget about Tiger Soul and the alliance master. Happy was the only one left in their eyes, and they felt incredibly safe.
In this desert, this little pavilion seemed to have become the safest place in the world.
The four of them sat down, and a figure took a step forward from Happy's side.
Whoosh!
A few cups of tea that exuded a cold presence instantly appeared in front of the four.
"Try this snow lotus tea picked from Heaven Mountain. It tastes pretty good."
While Happy spoke, he lifted the teacup in front of him, looking as if he was enjoying it.
Silver Wolf and the others were deeply attracted by the old servant behind Happy.
Just now, because they were shocked by Happy's change in status, they did not pay attention to Happy's attendants.
Now that they thought about it, they suddenly remembered the scene that happened in Dragon Gate Inn. At that time, this old man had easily fought against three Myth Realm red-clad Lamas on his own, and he was pretty extraordinary.
Since Happy was a player, then who was the elite beside him?
When did such a powerful person appear in the Chinese world of martial artists? His strength might only be inferior to Happy and One Emperor's.
But …
Based on the old servant's actions and expression, he had a respect for Happy that came from the depths of his bones.
Silver Wolf and his party instantly fell into chaos.
Happy could naturally see the puzzlement and guesses in Silver Wolf and his party's eyes, but he did not expose them. He did not provide any explanation either. When the four of them picked up their teacups and took a sip of the snow lotus tea, he said,
"How's your practice of the Four Matchless Sword Formation?"
