In truth, Lu Mingyue had been gloomy all along the way.
On the way there, he had received plenty of eye rolls.
Lu Mingyue read a lot of information that made him uneasy and displeased from the eye rolls from the martial artists.
It seemed like Happy had gone along with the plan and obtained most of the treasures in the royal mausoleum. He had entered the depths of the royal mausoleum alone, causing the people who challenged the royal mausoleum to have miserable rewards. Some of them even obtained nothing.
This was clearly the opposite of Lu Mingyue's plans!
When he thought about how he had single-handedly caused Happy to become rich, Lu Mingyue's long and narrow eyes instantly turned even darker. He wanted to immediately find Happy and tear him to shreds to vent his hatred.
He entered the second level.
Lu Mingyue had coincidentally run into Ninja King, who was chasing after a few martial artists.
A thought appeared in Lu Mingyue's mind, and he had a bad thought.
The tunnel in the second level of the royal mausoleum was not as long as the first level. There was a turn every dozens of feet, and Needle Tide was instantly put to use. With this amazing and peerless ability, Lu Mingyue easily lured Ninja King over. He learned of Happy's general location from a grateful martial artist, and he brought Ninja King there.
"Make way!"
The tunnel ahead of him was suddenly blocked, and it made Lu Mingyue angry. He quickly shouted a warning.
Unfortunately for him, Lu Mingyue had already left Ninja King far behind. When the people ahead of him saw that Lu Mingyue was alone, no one paid any attention to him.
When Ninja King shot out from another tunnel like a phantom and appeared behind the crowd, they instantly burst into a commotion. They cursed and cried out in surprise.
Lu Mingyue snorted coldly. His flying needles hit the wall across from him. He guided them with his qi, and like a phantom, he shot over the heads of nearly one hundred people and appeared at the entrance of the hall.
The scene that entered his eyes caused Lu Mingyue's blood to surge.
Happy was leisurely harvesting his spoils of war while he stood among the corpses of more than one hundred ninjas. When he looked up, the mischievous and mocking smile in his eyes was very obvious.
"Palace Master Lu, you're late."
"Is that so?"
Lu Mingyue's expression was incredibly dark. "We haven't decided the victor of our battle yet."
Behind him was a group of Mystical Realm players who cried out in surprise and cursed him nonstop. They fled into the hall. The people in the tunnel across from him were also afraid of getting into trouble. When they saw Ninja King chasing after them, they did not dare to be negligent. They ran into the hall, broke Ghost Face Wall, and left the royal mausoleum through the exit.
In the blink of an eye...
Most of the people in the main hall of the royal mausoleum had left.
The remaining few rushed into the tunnel across from them in a panic while Ninja King chased after them.
He moved to the front and blocked Ninja King's path. With Ninja King's speed, it would be as easy as flipping his palm to chase after a few people in the tunnel.
"Humph."
Lu Mingyue's eyes lit up. "I was just waiting for your kindness." He crossed his arms, and several embroidery needles with crystalline threads sliced through the air.
"You want to use Ninja King against me?"
Then, his expression became stern. "Today, I will make you admit defeat wholeheartedly!"
In an instant, Happy entered a calm state where he was neither shocked nor angry. He was neither happy nor sad. Under the dual threat of Lu Mingyue and Ninja King, who were both near and far away, he did something that surprised everyone — he closed his eyes.
His qi spread out, and like a radar, all the changes within a circular area of sixty-five feet were clearly reflected in his mind.
The trajectory of the four embroidery needles charged straight at Ninja King, who was punching and kicking.
He moved two feet horizontally and twisted his Noble Sword in front of his chest.
Lu Mingyue cried out in surprise and cut off the connection. Then, he saw Happy use the power he used to deal with him to swing his sword and exchange blows with Ninja King.
Happy and Ninja King did not take a single step back. They fought on equal grounds!
"You're just asking for death!"
When Lu Mingyue saw how careless Happy was, a hint of anger from being humiliated flashed in his eyes. His attacks became even more frequent, dense, and fierce.
Underestimation!
This was blatant underestimation!
Shick!
More embroidery needles flew at Happy with the sound of air being torn. Lu Mingyue's expression was savage. He continuously adjusted the attack trajectory and direction of his embroidery needles in an attempt to interfere with Happy's attack rhythm.
But Happy had also learned to be smart. Every time Lu Mingyue's attack was about to reach him, he would immediately switch places with Ninja King and become Ninja King to take some of the damage for him. No matter how fast Lu Mingyue was, he could not adjust himself. A few rounds of attacks turned into him working for Happy, and Happy even seized the chance to draw closer to him.
Not only did he not pose a threat to Happy, he had to constantly ensure his own safety while he attacked Ninja King for Happy. It was as if he was treading on thin ice, and he felt incredibly frustrated.
Even though he also used Soft Palm Strike and Shadowless Needle, Happy's experience from his previous life was not wasted.
When he closed his eyes, his senses toward his surroundings became stronger, and his reactions became even more sensitive. As long as Lu Mingyue did not activate Sunflower Aura to interfere and affect him at full power, none of his attacks could threaten him.
Even though Lu Mingyue gradually saw the problem and wanted to use Sunflower Aura a few times, as the successor of Sunflower Manual and Dongfang Bubai's successor, he had his own pride. When Happy fought against Ninja King, he was not the main character. If he interfered with Ninja King like that, he would not be able to achieve anything. If he fought with his full strength, he would fall too far, and even he would not be able to accept it.
Besides …
As time passed …
Lu Mingyue gradually came to a realization.
Happy clearly had the strength to fight against Ninja King head-on. The fact that they fought against each other head-on proved that Happy's strength had increased by leaps and bounds.
Lu Mingyue believed that he could not fight against a Moksha Realm boss!
As Happy fought against Ninja King again and again, Lu Mingyue's raging emotions gradually calmed down and calmed down.
Even though he could not accept it, Happy's strength was right before his eyes. If he fought at full strength and worked together with Ninja King, he might not be able to kill Happy.
He thought about it repeatedly.
In the end, Lu Mingyue stopped attacking.
He put his hands behind his back and quietly levitated in the hall. He watched Happy and Ninja King's fiery fight from above, and his eyes sparkled.
A few minutes passed.
"Oh well."
Lu Mingyue sighed and moved lightly. He left the hall and left the royal mausoleum through the exit of the side hall.
The people who had fled into the tunnel ran back.
They also stood dumbfounded not too far away and watched the scene in front of them with their mouths agape.
"Killing Ninja King is a waste of time. I suggest that you leave this place."
There was not a hint of threat in Happy's voice.
The people looked at each other at a loss. At the same time, they wrapped their fists in their palms at Happy politely and left the royal mausoleum.
Only Happy and Ninja King were left in the royal mausoleum.
The intense fight continued.
…
Outside the royal mausoleum, Lu Mingyue faced quite a number of people's cold gazes and mocking words. He stood up calmly, and with a few jumps, he quickly left the royal mausoleum.
…
At the same time, Dream Clouds received a letter from Lu Mingyue.
[I'm withdrawing from the plan you mentioned.]
Dream Clouds' expression changed, and she stopped practicing her martial arts. Immediately after, another messenger pigeon flew over. It was a letter from the palace master of Towering Palace. The contents were almost the same as Lu Mingyue's, and she said that she needed to think about it.
"…"
Dream Clouds scowled and did not say anything for a long time.
