The people escorting the thousands of people from the six great system-allocated sects were the imperial court's army. It was impossible for them to not leave behind any traces when they moved in such a grand manner. Happy and Zhou Zhiruo soon obtained news from the market, and they chased after them along the waterway to Eternal Peace Temple in Kunlun Mountain.
"This is the place."
It was the same place as in the original novel.
Happy felt at ease.
If the two of them moved together, it would be dangerous. He convinced Zhou Zhiruo to stay in an inn before he logged off. When he returned, it was already night, and he snuck into Eternal Peace Temple alone.
The security at Eternal Peace Temple was incredibly tight!
However, Happy was still rather at ease, because based on what he knew, Zhao Min had gone to meet Zhang Wuji. She was accompanied by the famous Xuanming Elders. Hence, even though the security was tight, it was not as if he could not do anything.
Night scouts …
It was not as if Happy had never done such a thing before. With familiar ease, he brought out the night traveling clothes he bought from the city and changed into them. Then, he quietly jumped over the heads of two groups of Yuan Dynasty soldiers into Eternal Peace Temple.
Night traveling clothes could eliminate the sound of clothes fluttering at night and help a person completely blend into the night without being discovered. The better the craftsmanship, the smaller the visibility. This meant that as long as the enemy was a certain distance away, they would not be able to discover the target wearing night traveling clothes.
Eternal Peace Temple was a large temple, and it took up quite a lot of space.
However, once they were summoned by the imperial court, the monks there were restricted to a small courtyard at the back of the mountain. They were not allowed to move around as they pleased every day, and the elites from the six great system-allocated sects were hidden in the tall tower.
A wisp of black smoke moved through the shadows at the speed of lightning. It avoided the Yuan Dynasty soldiers who patrolled the area and moved back and forth endlessly. It moved forward step by step until it finally approached Mahavira Hall of Eternal Peace Temple. It was only one wall away from the tall tower.
The clouds were dark, and the wind was strong.
But Happy did not dare to take even half a step forward.
There was a sentry every three steps from Mahavira Hall to the tall tower. Quite a number of Yuan Dynasty soldiers were equipped with heavy armor and Divine Mechanical Crossbows. They were packed densely together, and they looked like steel monsters!
The defense of heavy armor in the army was incredibly insane. It could easily withstand an attack from a Moksha Realm martial artist without suffering too much damage, unless the attack was from an Inaction Realm martial artist whose palm force could seep through the heavy armor and injure the person inside.
However, the Divine Mechanical Crossbow had the effect of breaking defenses, and it could be fired repeatedly. It was incredibly intimidating to martial artists!
Even elites like the teachers of the six great system-allocated sects would lose at least half their lives if they flew over their heads and were hit by ten thousand arrows.
"This won't be easy."
In a dark corner, Zhou Yu quietly hid behind a broken tower that the Yuan Dynasty soldiers could not discover. He stared at the tall tower that was sixty-five feet away from him with a tight frown.
Zhou Yu was the player with the highest points among the Ming Cult disciples. He was also the person who Zhang Wuji had agreed to send to search for the whereabouts of the elites from the six great system-allocated sects. Even though he arrived later than Happy, once night fell, he also entered Eternal Peace Temple.
At the same time, he also discovered that people from the Shaolin Temple and the Kunlun Sect had snuck in as well. They were hiding in two other shadows near the tower. But because of the darkness and the black clothes, the other two did not notice Zhou Yu.
"…"
Zhou Yu observed the situation around the tower and knew that he would die if he tried to force his way in. He immediately calmed down and carefully observed his surroundings, paying attention to the situation of the other two.
The other two had clearly noticed the great killing intent near the tall tower, and they behaved themselves and did not dare to get close.
However, before they saw the elites from the six great system-allocated sects, they could not be certain that the six great system-allocated sects were imprisoned in Eternal Peace Temple, which meant that they could not complete the quest.
It was the last day …
It was also their last chance. Their instincts told them that the system would not just not give them a chance.
All three of them were waiting!
Whoosh!
At that moment, a violent gust of wind blew past them.
The chill stimulated the trio.
The hundreds of heavy-armored warriors near the tall tower stood quietly in their original spots.
But at this moment, Zhou Yu clearly caught a slight strange sound!
Since he was rather close to the tall tower and Mahavira Hall, he could clearly hear a barely audible sound in the darkness. It was mixed with the mountain wind, and it sounded like the sound of hidden weapons.
"There's someone else in Eternal Peace Temple!"
Zhou Yu scowled and moved past a group of Yuan Dynasty soldiers who approached him. A few seconds later, he returned to the spot where he had been observing.
At that moment, he noticed to his shock that under the dazzling firelight near the tall tower, a black figure moved as light as a swallow above Mahavira Hall. He stepped on a rope as if he was walking on flat ground, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the top of the tall tower.
When Zhou Yu saw that the person had dared to enter the tall tower above a large group of heavy-armored Yuan Dynasty soldiers, he was shocked, and he could not help but admire the person for seizing the fleeting chance provided by the mountain wind.
'Who is this person?'
When Zhou Yu saw that the person had swiftly entered the tower and that it was impossible for him to be discovered by the Yuan Dynasty soldiers below, a question suddenly flashed in his mind.
The situation of the other two people in Eternal Peace Temple had already been confirmed.
One of them was Shaolin Temple's Heaven Does Not Forget, and the other was Kunlun Sect's Lonesome Wind.
Only two people had yet to appear.
Blood Robes and Happy!
'It's him!'
Zhou Yu quickly understood the identity of the person who came to the top of the tall tower, and he could not help but shudder. He scowled slightly, and a strange sense of disappointment filled his chest.
During the battle to protect Zhang Wuji at Light Summit, Happy had managed to injure Zhang Wuji, and he could be considered to have lost for a while.
Right now, it seemed like Happy was one step ahead of the others in investigating the whereabouts of the elites from the six great system-allocated sects.
When Zhou Yu stared at the figure who flashed into the tall tower, his gaze instantly turned complicated.
…
With the soundless grappling hook, Happy created a path to the sky from Mahavira Hall to the tall tower. Then, like a bird in the night, he fused into the sky and landed on the fourth floor of the tall tower.
'I did it!'
At that moment, Happy knew that as long as he was certain that the elites from the six great system-allocated sects were imprisoned there, he would be able to report to Zhang Wuji and complete his quest.
He carefully stood outside the tower and peeked inside through a small window. Two Yuan Dynasty soldiers were drinking at a small table by the side.
When he looked further inside, he saw a steel fence that had been temporarily built.
There was a group of … Emei Sect disciples dressed in white sitting inside.
Happy's heart trembled. He was a little shocked. He did not expect that things would be so coincidental that he would run into the floor where the Emei Sect disciples were imprisoned. When he looked further inside, he saw Ding Minjun, Bei Jinyi, and Mistress Annihilation, who looked listless but still wild and angry.
"Ding!"
Just when Happy was prepared to leave, the system notification suddenly rose in his ears.
"Discovered Emei Sect's Mistress Annihilation!
"Will you kill the Yuan Dynasty soldiers, sneak into the tall tower, and release Mistress Annihilation?
"If there's something wrong with my head, I'll save her."
Happy looked down on the system's temporary quest.
Everyone knew that Mistress Annihilation did not have the strength to even truss a chicken, and it was impossible for her to be brought out of the tall tower. This was clearly a trap, and he was not so hot-headed that he would lose consciousness.
Just when he was prepared to turn around, he suddenly heard a commotion below him.
"I caught another one!"
"Hehe, this girl is pretty lively …"
"Let me go!"
Zhou Zhiruo's voice was like an invisible hand that pinned Happy to the tall tower even though he was about to turn around and leave.
In the end, Zhou Zhiruo still ended up being imprisoned in the tall tower.
When he remembered how Zhou Zhiruo had been forced to swear an oath by Mistress Annihilation in the tall tower, Happy instantly calmed down. He quietly brought out a hidden weapon from his Universe Bag that was specifically used to deal with normal nobodies — Wind Blowing Needle.
