In the end, Abbess Annihilation did not escape the tragic fate of dying in the Wan An Temple!
When he landed on the tall tower and arrived near Mistress Annihilation, the stubborn grandmaster had already closed her eyes forever. The arrows had all pierced her vitals, which showed just how wary and ruthless Zhao Min was toward Mistress Annihilation.
"…"
Even though Happy had never had a good impression of Mistress Annihilation, when he saw that Mistress Annihilation had died because of a ruthless junior's scheme, he could not help but feel a hint of grief when he saw that a grandmaster had died in a foreign land, but before she died, she had forgotten about her own safety and the matter of Emei Sect's legacy.
Zhou Zhiruo was the daughter of a fisherman's family. She regarded Miejue Shitai as her parent. Seeing that her master had died and had passed her mantle to her, she could not help but feel sad. She threw herself on Miejue Shitai's corpse and cried bitterly.
"Amitabha."
Kong Xiang called out the name of Buddha in a low voice. A group of Shaolin disciples surrounded him and sat cross-legged, chanting the Rebirth Scripture.
"Where's Hero Song?"
"Great Hero Song has been taken away by Demoness Zhao Min!"
"My father?" Song QingShu staggered out of the pagoda, and as soon as he heard that his father was taken away by the witch Zhao Min, his heart was thrown into confusion. Hastily he was ready to lead a group of Wudang Pai disciples to give chase, but they had just detoxified the poison not too long ago, their internal energy had not recovered yet. After only a few steps they stopped, gasping for breath.
Ding!
The sound of the system notification rang in Happy's ears. In his grief, he only knew that he was given a quest to save Song Yuanqiao, and his destination was the forest outside the city.
Happy spoke at an opportune moment.
"Heroes of the Wudang Sect, don't worry. Zhao Min wouldn't dare to do anything to Great Hero Song. Zhao Min has captured Great Hero Song and left. She probably wants to exchange Great Hero Song for the Xuanming Elders in our hands."
Kong Xiang nodded.
"Young Swordsman Happy, you're right. But Witch Zhao Min is full of tricks, and she has a group of elites helping her commit crimes. Why don't we wait for the elites from the six great system-allocated sects to recover our strength before we spread the word and set a time and place for the exchange of hostages so that we can save Great Swordsman Song?"
The elites from the sects nodded.
The experts of the other sects walked out of the tower.
The Eternal Peace Temple's mission had finally come to an end.
However …
What caused Happy to be slightly disappointed was that Shaolin Temple's Master Kong Xiang did not bring out Shaolin Temple's Nine Yang Skill in gratitude. This made Happy, who had risked his life to obtain Nine Yang Divine Skill, a little gloomy.
In the chaos, he walked to Zhou Zhiruo's side and handed over Mistress Annihilation's jade ring before he comforted Zhou Zhiruo in a low voice. When Zhou Zhiruo saw the sect leader's ring, she felt sad again, and she repeatedly thanked him.
Ding!
System Notification:
"Zhou Zhiruo's impression of you has increased to Trusted!"
A thought appeared in Happy's mind.
He did not expect that there would be no notification from the other side. It was very rare for an NPC's affection to increase to the level of trust. Could it be that Emei Sect's Mistress Annihilation's quest did not lead him to Nine Yang Divine Skill?
As he stared at Zhou Zhiruo's tear-stained face, he could not help but hesitate.
He gathered his courage and helped Zhou Zhiruo up.
"Miss Zhou … Oh, no, I should say, Sect Leader Zhou, please restrain your grief. Emei Sect has suffered a tragic loss, and your master might not want you to be dispirited and listless even in the afterlife. Please arrange for your master's burial as soon as possible. You can take your time to think about revenge."
"That's right."
Zhou Zhiruo nodded quietly.
"Thank you for your concern, Young Swordsman Happy. I will first bring my master's corpse back to Emei Sect. My martial arts are weak, and I don't dare to think about revenge. But I will definitely snatch back Emei Sect's treasure, Heavenly Sword, or else, my master will not be able to rest in peace."
For the first time, the gentle fisherman's daughter finally had her own opinion.
Ding Minjun and Bei Jinyi stared at Zhou Zhiruo's side profile with complicated gazes. It was difficult for them to hide the indignation and anger in the depths of their hearts. But right then, Mistress Annihilation had personally passed the position of sect leader to their junior sister right in front of the teachers of the six great system-allocated sects, and they could do nothing to change the situation.
…
Once the elites from the six great system-allocated sects recovered their strength, the Emei Sect disciples used the chance when the five great system-allocated sects exchanged hostages with Zhao Min to take Mistress Annihilation's corpse and leave Eternal Peace County in a mighty wave.
…
The people from the six great system-allocated sects were in charge of exchanging hostages. Happy blended into the crowd. Even though Zhao Min wanted to cause trouble, when she faced the teachers and many elites of the six great system-allocated sects who had recovered their strength, she did not dare to act rashly. Once she brought back Xuanming Elders, the group left quickly.
"Young Swordsman Happy, this time, the six great system-allocated sects owe you a favor. If you need any help in the future, feel free to come to Shaolin Temple. I will definitely treat you with the best vegetarian food."
"Master, you praise me too much," Happy said. "In truth, if you hadn't done your best to hold back the elites beside Zhao Min, I wouldn't have had the chance to enter the tall tower. I don't dare to take credit for this alone."
"Young Swordsman Happy, you don't have to be humble. If you hadn't been meticulous, I would have nearly ruined your plan. The new generation excels the old, and I have no choice but to accept it. Wudang Sect will remember your credit for saving the six great system-allocated sects."
The elites from Kunlun Sect, Mount Hua Sect, and Kongtong Sect also came forward to thank him. They also expressed their gratitude — a Life and Death Realm high-tier martial art manual.
At the very least, they did not make Happy work for them for nothing!
Just like that, the quest to save Eternal Peace Temple and the elites from the six great system-allocated sects was successfully completed. The quest also came to an end.
However …
Happy held the five high-tier martial art manuals in his hands, but his mind was not on the valuable high-tier martial art manuals.
He did not manage to get Nine Yang Skill from Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect. By the looks of it, the effects from those two sects were not enough. Besides, the abbot had also extended an invitation to him. If he really went to Shaolin Temple, he might be able to get a quest.
With Great Swordsman Song's relationship with Wudang Sect, he would not have a problem getting in and out of Wudang Sect.
'If it's possible, I must get Nine Yang Divine Skill!'
Happy understood the importance of Nine Yang Divine Skill very well. Even though Zhou Zhiruo seemed to have given him a new branch quest that surprised him — Snatch Heavenly Sword …
He still did not want to give up on the Nine Yang Divine Skill quest so easily.
…
Once the elites from the six great system-allocated sects left, Happy put away the manual and returned to Eternal Peace County. Then, he prepared to leave the place and head to Emei Sect.
…
On his way, he passed by a forest, and the sound of gears suddenly rose from the forest!
Whoosh!
Dozens of arrows charged at him with great force, and their whistles were sharp and fierce!
"You sure have guts." With just one glance, he could tell that the Path Blocking Arrows and Defense Breaking Arrows were the handiwork of players. He quirked an eyebrow, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
His body flashed like a phantom on the spot, as if he had never moved. The Defense Breaking Arrows mixed in with the arrows missed, and the other arrows crashed into the Golden Bell Cocoon that had appeared around him with loud clangs. They fell to the ground with loud clangs.
Happy avoided the first round of ambushes without any danger. He cast an indifferent glance at the forest, which had returned to peace after the arrows were fired. Then, he cast a glance at the ground in front of him.
Whoosh!
A pure palm-generated wind shot out with his qi.
A violent gust of wind danced in the air, and a layer of dust rose from the seemingly normal ground to reveal a dense layer of needles. There were quite a number of places around him that were covered in a layer of black poisonous needles.
"Hmph!"
Happy cast his gaze at the forest again and sighed faintly.
"I haven't seen you for a few months, and now, you don't even dare to appear in front of me … Orochimaru."
Right when he finished speaking, a cold gust of wind blew on the government-made road beyond the forest.
