As Jade Fox Palace and Blood River Sect's battle came to an end, Happy soon received news that Righteous Sect was the first to end their battle, because when they were attacked, their sect master, Wu Qing, had coincidentally completed his quest and returned to the headquarters. Towering Palace was in charge of this area, and their combat strength was slightly inferior to Class One Hall's. Once their sect master served as garrison, they resolutely retreated.
Hence, the grand battle between the three local sects came to an end in a manner that no one expected. Class One Hall was ambushed at the final moment, Cold Moon Palace's Lu Mingyue retreated with just one move, and Wu Qing's unexpected appearance allowed the three local sects to survive and not be destroyed.
However …
The three sects had paid a devastating price.
There was naturally no need to even mention Jade Fox Palace. Under Class One Hall's powerful suppression, they were pushed to the foundation of their headquarters, and they were nearly destroyed. More than eight hundred of their members died in battle!
This meant that one-tenth of Jade Fox Palace's disciples would be in a suboptimal state for the next month. Fortunately, there were only a few elites among them. As time passed, they would soon recover.
But Blood River Sect was in a rather miserable state.
Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens had died twice within a short period of time, and his condition had already fallen to the level of a normal second-class fighter. The losses of the elites in the sect were also rather high. Nearly one hundred elites had died at Cold Moon Palace's hands, and more than seven hundred sect members had died. Since they did not have as many people as Jade Fox Palace did, their strength plummeted, and they fell from the throne of being the third greatest sect in Baokang.
Blood River Sect was in a dangerous situation.
If they were not careful, some of the resource points they had previously controlled might be snatched away by other sects!
The Righteous Sect was the only one that suffered the least …
However …
The invasion from the three great sects served as a warning to the three local sects in Baokang. At the same time, it struck a deep blow to their nerves.
The painful lesson did not make the three sects wallow in grief. Instead, it made them erupt in hysterical anger, which was out of character.
That day …
The rate at which the three sects logged into the game increased exponentially!
More than twenty thousand local members from the three sects controlled the four city gates of Baokang County Town and kept a tight watch on all the Class One Hall, Towering Palace, and Cold Moon Palace members who went in and out of the city.
If someone didn't know what was good for them and left the city, they would surround and kill them without saying a word!
Patrol squads formed by the disciples from the three sects appeared in the depths of Shennongjia, and they moved about in a mighty manner.
Even though the people from Class One Hall, Towering Palace, and Cold Moon Palace were rather strong individually, they could not handle a large number of people. The three sects sent out nearly ten thousand people to wipe out the area in a frenzy.
The people of the three forces could only flee!
In less than two hours, Class One Hall, Towering Palace, and Cold Moon Palace's losses rose swiftly! Practically all the players who walked out of the city were robbed and killed. They died and returned to Baokang County Town's Guanlin Temple.
Even though the three great forces of power gritted their teeth in anger, they could not do anything to respond or counterattack. After all, even if their plan succeeded, they were already prepared to deal with the crazed revenge from the three local sects. However, they did not expect that an unexpected change would occur, and they suffered a crushing defeat.
Once the three leaders met, they did not expect that Jade Fox Palace, Righteous Sect, and Blood River Sect's revenge would come so quickly and so fiercely. They did not even have time to make preparations to retreat.
…
An hour later, the people from the three sects quietly appeared at the northern city gate.
Under the protection of Lu Mingyue, Evil Wolf, Monk with Thick Eyebrows, and other top-class elites, more than two thousand people broke through the blockade set up by the people from the three sects. They jumped on their horses and left with a trail of dust in their wake.
When they received the news, the people from the three sects did not send any people to chase after them. They only had their people watch them travel more than thirty miles away before they returned.
Absolute Nonsense and the others knew that the three sects were forced to break out of the encirclement this time. If they did not want to be trapped in Baokang, breaking out of the encirclement was the only thing they could do! Even though the departure of the three sects caused them to be unable to collect the debt of blood, and they could not continue with their revenge, it meant that the three sects had completely lost, and they had completely left the stage of fighting for the resources in Baokang and Shennongjia.
…
The people from Class One Hall, Towering Palace, and Cold Moon Palace finally slowed down and rested for a while in a small town that was thirty miles away from Baokang.
"Palace Master Lu, you're the only one among us who fought against Happy head-on. How strong do you think Happy has become?"
The person who spoke was the person in charge of Towering Palace, who was the only one who did not fight against Happy head-on. At that moment, he no longer had a green foxtail in his mouth like he usually did. When he spoke, his expression was grave and very stern. The failure of the operation caused him to have to reevaluate his own strength and the difference in strength between Towering Palace and the other sects.
Lu Mingyue sat alone at a table.
When he heard this, he snorted softly. "If I hadn't used up too much qi during the early stages of the game, Happy wouldn't have been able to take advantage of me. However, there is no doubt that Happy has an ultimate technique. It's very difficult to defeat him! "
"An ultimate technique?!" The people in the area were shocked. "Whose legacy did he inherit?" Monk with Thick Eyebrows and Evil Wolf were stunned for a moment before they put on interested expressions.
"I'm not sure about that."
Lu Mingyue closed his eyes in a prideful manner, looking as if he did not want to delve into the matter.
"My Dharma Protector Shangguan Lian once mentioned something to us. It might be related to the ultimate technique Happy practices."
The young man from Towering Palace seemed to have thought of something.
Right when he finished speaking, everyone turned their heads around to look at him, including Lu Mingyue. He put on an attentive expression.
"Oh?"
"Even though it's just a guess, the possibility is very high."
The young man said.
"Do you remember the battle at Mount Song? At that time, Happy was also at Mount Song. "
"Of course we remember that."
A hint of anger flashed briefly on Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows' faces.
At that time, the first time Class One Hall suffered a setback was at Mount Song. They were humiliated by Happy, and they never had the chance to take revenge.
The person shook his head.
"I'm not talking about the time at Punishment Mount. Before he went up Punishment Mount, Happy stayed in a broken temple for a long time. Do you remember that the broken temple had a master at that time, and there was a very powerful eminent Buddhist monk guarding it?"
The group's eyes lit up, and they understood what he meant.
"Are you saying?"
"That's right. The eminent Buddhist monk's qi realm is definitely not below that of Moksha Realm. With one Buddhist Lion's Roar, he killed hundreds of people. With this sort of strength, even the Nine-tailed Fox might not be his opponent. At that time, our Dharma Protector Shangguan thought that the eminent Buddhist monk's disappearance was too strange. Later, he thought about it, and with such a powerful elite guarding the place, it must be a very powerful hidden quest."
"Are you saying that Happy obtained a certain eminent monk's legacy in the broken temple?"
"That's right!"
The young man's expression was stern, and he nodded solemnly.
"Dharma Protector Shangguan once said that when he fought against him, Happy did not use that move to force him back. This means that even if he doesn't have an ultimate technique, Happy's strength is still very terrifying."
The group nodded.
At that moment …
A man who had been watching from the distance suddenly walked out from the crowd in the town. He had a broken silver mask covering half of his face, and with steady footsteps, he arrived in front of the group and said something that no one expected.
"Fight against me, Lu Mingyue!"
