He stayed on Punishment Mount for another two days.
Happy practically spent all his time practicing Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm. As the time he spent fighting against Master of Breaking Vows increased, his level also increased by a large margin, and he reached the eighth realm.
But unfortunately for him!
Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm had never been able to break through the barrier of ten moves. Even though his combat strength and speed had increased slightly, it was not very effective against Master of Breaking Vows. Master of Breaking Vows could always suppress his rising momentum at crucial moments, and he would forcefully suppress it during the eighth and ninth moves, causing Happy to suffer setbacks and be unable to increase his fighting strength to a higher level.
The quest for Shaolin Temple's Nine Yang Skill had come to a standstill.
If it were not because his fight against Master of Breaking Vows had allowed him to increase his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palm at an incredibly fast speed, Happy might have given up on Shaolin Temple's Nine Yang Skill a long time ago and left Punishment Mount.
On that day.
Happy walked out of Bodhidharma Cave, just as he always did.
Flap flap flap!
While he sat down cross-legged to circulate his qi, a messenger pigeon suddenly flew over.
[I'm sorry, I need help with something. If you're free, please reply me as soon as possible.]
The name he signed was Wandering Know-it-all!
Happy was stunned. This was the second time Wandering Know-it-all had taken the initiative to contact him. The first time, he brought up the condition of hiding his fourth-echelon masterpiece and hiding his tracks in hopes that Mu Clan could help take care of one of his disciples.
Even though the conditions he offered were very tempting, Happy did not have the thought of becoming someone's babysitter at that time, which was why he sent Silver Wolf to take care of Wandering Know-it-all's disciple.
What surprised Happy was that Gui Guzi's successor's disciple was not a quack who wandered the world of martial artists, but the disciple of the infamous Six-fingered Demonic Zither. Right now, he was Demonic Sound Duchess whose name shook the world of martial artists, and he was extraordinary!
'Could it be …
'It's about his disciple again?'
Happy thought about it and thought about it for a while before he quickly wrote a reply.
[What is it?]
Even though he was currently carrying out the quest for Shaolin Temple's Nine Yang Skill, his progress was not good. Instead of staying on Punishment Mount, it would be better for him to go down the mountain. He could still train outside, and at the same time, he could also go down the mountain to retrieve the fourth-echelon Golden Gloves that Heartless Iron had sent to the bank a long time ago.
Wandering Know-it-all quickly replied.
"It's like this. My disciple, Wind Chimes, was captured by Zhao Min's Divine Arrow Eight Heroes for some reason. Your friend, Silver Wolf, is currently imprisoned in a mansion in Beijing."
"How is this possible?"
When he suddenly heard this news, he was so shocked that he sucked in a sharp breath. He subconsciously got up and tore Wandering Know-it-all's letter. He quickly wrote back and asked, [If something happened to Silver Wolf, he would definitely notify me. Why didn't I receive any news?]
At the same time, he sent a messenger pigeon to Silver Wolf, and he received a notification from the system.
"The other party is currently in an abnormal state. We are unable to contact him!"
"…"
Happy quickly realized that what Wandering Know-it-all Scholar said might be true, because the function of sending messenger pigeons would only be blocked when it was a very important quest.
Because Wandering Know-it-all was the successor of Ghost Valley, he had the Universe Secrets Inkstone in his hands, and his divination ability was unparalleled in the world. Feng Ling was his disciple, and no one knew how he got the news, but it was most likely true.
While he thought about it, the messenger pigeon flapped its wings and landed on his palm.
Wandering Know-it-all replied:
"In the storyline quest, there's no way to contact outsiders. I only noticed that something was wrong with her when I was calculating my disciple's fortune. She's currently in a royal mansion in the capital."
"What's going on?"
Naturally, he could not help but have a solemn expression appear on his face. 'Triggering a storyline quest is a good thing, but being imprisoned by an NPC … is not a good thing!'
The people who were imprisoned were usually in a situation where they had a slim chance of survival. They were either sent to carry out certain highly dangerous missions as part of the storyline quest, or imprisoned for a period of time as punishment.
No matter which one it was, it was very dangerous.
Most likely, Bai Xiaosheng also sensed that the situation wasn't right, so he urgently sent a voice transmission to ask for help.
The imperial court is enraged, and they are prepared to attack Prince Ruyang, but Prince Ruyang seems to be prepared to atone for his crimes by performing meritorious deeds, so he set his sights on Emei Sect's Zhou Zhiruo. "Wind Chimes and Silver Wolf are unlucky. They heard that the prince obtained a demonic zither, so they went to steal it, but in the end, they walked right into a trap." Wandering Know-it-all's anxiety could be seen clearly when he read between the lines.
However …
When Wandering Know-it-all revealed some parts of the plot, Happy relaxed a little, but he soon frowned.
Sure enough, it was a suicide mission!
But what gave him a headache was that they were up against Zhou Zhiruo, an NPC he would absolutely not oppose.
"Zhou Zhiruo practices Nine Yin Manual, and she's at least at the peak of Inaction Realm. Even if I join her, it's impossible for us to succeed. What's your plan?" Happy believed that Wandering Know-it-all would be able to determine Zhou Zhiruo's current strength.
'I knew it!'
Wandering Know-it-all quickly replied.
"This quest is Prince Ruyang's scheme. He wants to use Wind Chimes and Silver Wolf to lure Zhou Zhiruo out, then use Xuanming Elders, the three servants, and Divine Arrow Eight Heroes to fight against Zhou Zhiruo. This is a suicide mission, and the two of them won't get any benefits."
"…"
"But when I read this part of the plot, the system notified me of a quest, and it gave me a chance to save them!"
When Happy heard that, he thought that it was as he expected.
When he read this crucial part of the plot, Wandering Know-it-all also entered the plot, and he caused a side issue to appear out of nowhere, which allowed Wind Chimes and Silver Wolf to have a chance to change.
"What quest is it?"
Even though Happy could already vaguely guess what sort of quest it was …
"Rescue quest! The guards are Xuanming Elders and Divine Arrow Eight Heroes! Within two days, I can contact people to break out of the prison. The time will be two days, and the location will be in Beijing! The prison in the royal mansion! "
Wandering Know-it-all's two ellipses showed just how conflicted and complicated his heart was.
Happy naturally understood why Wandering Know-it-all was so conflicted. It was because Beijing was Class One Hall's territory and headquarters, and the quest this time was rather dangerous.
If he was careless and exposed his identity and tracks, there was a possibility that he would attract the four monsters of Class One Hall, and Class One Hall would surround him.
Besides, he might break the cold war between Class One Hall and Mu Clan, and the game would become tense again.
However, Wandering Know-it-all also knew that no one else could complete the quest. Only Happy had fought against Xuanming Elders and managed to escape unscathed. In fact, he had even obtained Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber from Zhao Min's hands, as well as Book of Wumu. This matter could be hidden from others, but it could not be hidden from Wandering Know-it-all.
Hence, while Wandering Know-it-all knew Happy's difficulties, he also hoped that Happy could find some time to enter Beijing and help save Wind Chimes and Silver Wolf, who were imprisoned in the royal mansion's prison.
But the final choice was still in Happy's hands!
Happy thought about it for a while before he replied.
[Beijing isn't some dangerous place. There's nothing I can't go to! Besides, your disciples and my brothers are in there! Help me hide my tracks, and I'll take action now!]
[Got it!]
