While the players fought against the five evil cult elders at full strength, Shi Zhixuan, Zhu Yuyan, Wang Chongyang, and Zhang Sanfeng fought fiercely in Hero's Mountain Villa. Violent gusts of wind clashed against each other, and the houses near Dragon Tiger Arena were all destroyed. The center of the arena was also dark, and the sun and moon were no longer visible.
At the same time, the elites from the sects also ran into the ambush of other elites from the evil cult, such as Hou Xibai, the successor of Flowers Sect, Wan Wan of Yin Weed Faction, Bian Bufu, Eunuch Cao, and the others. The losses of the elites from the sects were rather great, and all their previous efforts in the martial arts tournament were in vain. Happy and the others did not dare to stay for long. They killed the five evil cult elders at the gate and successfully broke out of Hero's Mountain Villa!
Boom!
The drawbridge was lowered.
Under Zhang Wuji's lead, the group of top-class Life and Death Realm martial artists broke through the lockdown of hundreds of evil cult elites outside the city with a momentum that could destroy everything with ease.
The ground outside the city roared! Galloping sounds rose, and smoke tumbled about. It was as if countless cavaliers were rushing over!
Zhang Wuji's expression changed, and he turned his head around.
He said in an incredibly solemn tone, "Now that things have progressed to this state, we might not be able to protect Hero's Mountain Villa! My fellow martial artists, retreat first. I'll go back to receive the elites from the sects and tell them to leave. "
"Cult Master Zhang, I'll go with you."
Quite a number of people spoke up.
"We'll fight our way back!" There were too many top-class elites in Hero's Mountain Villa, and it would be good if they could get a quest from any of them. This was a rare chance, and no one was willing to miss it.
"No." Zhang Wuji said firmly, "My great grandmaster has given orders that we must send you out of Hero's Mountain Villa. There's no way I'll let you take any more risks. Besides, the situation in Hero's Mountain Villa is no longer something you can handle. Immediately leave with the disciples from the other sects."
The Murong Clan Lady nodded and turned to Happy.
"The master of Hero's Mountain Villa and the teachers of the other sects will naturally be worried about the martial arts tournament. This time, I believe that the other sects will not fight head on against the evil cult. We'll go back for now. I believe that before long, we'll receive Reverend Wang's hero invitation."
"That's right."
The disciples of the eight aristocratic families and the various sects agreed, "Although the Demon Sect is coming with a fierce momentum, it will be very difficult for them to make the heroes of the world stay. Let's go back for now and not become a burden to Perfected Wang and Perfected Zhang."
"Go!"
Even though the players were a little dissatisfied and regretful, the system notification had already rung in their ears. The martial arts tournament had ended, and the points had been tallied. They could only answer the summons and step on the journey back to the Chinese server.
With an impressive result of nine points, he became the champion among the young disciples in the martial arts tournament. The system notified him that once he returned to the Murong Clan, the reward would naturally be sent to the Murong Clan.
As for the controversial second and third place …
Vast Heaven originally thought that once the last evil cult elder fell into his hands, he would have five points, and he should have a high chance of getting second place. He did not expect that One Emperor would get one more quest than him, and he would also get five points.
What made Vast Heaven want to cry even more was that even though One Emperor had the same number of points as him, he had once won against him. Hence, the system naturally placed him at the third place, causing his plan of getting the second place at the very least and obtaining an Illusion Life and Death Pill to fall through.
However …
It was already pretty good for him to be able to get the third place in the martial arts tournament. It was enough for his name to be sung about, and he would gain the favor of countless sects, even though Vast Heaven seemed to have already made his choice.
One Emperor was naturally a rather dejected person, but …
This time, he managed to turn the tables and seize the second place. He also managed to understand the sixth slash on the stage. His rewards were pretty great.
Happy stayed behind and bade farewell to Zhang Wuji. He redirected his gaze and looked at Emei Sect's leader, Zhou Zhiruo. She had appeared at the foot of the city wall when he broke out of the encirclement. She had a cold and aloof expression, and she stared at Zhang Wuji's unhesitant figure with a hateful gaze. She did not move even after a long time had passed.
"Zhiruo."
Happy's call brought Zhou Zhiruo's attention back. She quickly returned to normal, and she looked at him with a cold gaze.
"Young Swordsman Happy, is there something you need?" Based on her aloof demeanor that kept him at arm's length, Zhou Zhiruo should know that he had set up a scheme to force Song Qingshu away so that he could not appear in Dragon Tiger Arena. He had also destroyed her plan to kill Zhang Wuji.
This was the first time Zhou Zhiruo had turned her body to answer him. Happy felt a little disappointed, and his tone changed.
"Sect Leader Zhou, I heard from Chen Youliang that you and Young Swordsman Song are about to get married. At that time, I thought that it was just a rumor, but by the looks of it now, you are angry because of Young Swordsman Song. I … have been rude."
"…"
Zhou Zhiruo frowned, but she did not deny it. "If that's the case, then I will have to thank you for protecting my reputation." There was a hint of mockery in her voice, and her tone turned cold.
"But Wudang Sect's Song Qingshu is the descendant of Great Swordsman Song Yuanqiao! Great Swordsman Song has also mentioned marriage to my mistress before. If we get together, we might not be a match made in heaven, but at the very least, the friendship between Emei Sect and Wudang Sect will become deeper, especially in the chaotic world of martial artists right now. At the very least, Emei Sect will have the ability to gain a foothold. "
"Then Song Qingshu might have to disappoint you. They are both descendants of Wudang Sect, but regardless of talent or breadth of mind, Zhang Wuji is far from what Song Qingshu can compare to." Happy's expression did not change. "In fact, he can't even compare to me. Sect Leader Zhou, it's best if you search for a good partner. Don't send Emei Sect to its grave because of blind jealousy."
"This is Emei Sect's matter. You don't need to worry about it." Zhou Zhiruo's expression turned even colder.
Happy sighed softly. "That's true. In the past, your mistress asked me to help you because you were alone, and your strength was meager. It's different now. Your martial arts are only stronger than your mistress's, and you don't need my help anymore."
Zhou Zhiruo's cold expression finally melted, and she could not help but show some gentleness. She remembered how Happy had brought her to search for the Yuan Dynasty soldiers for several days when the six great system-allocated sects were captured. She remembered how Happy had risked his life to enter Eternal Peace Temple at night and found her and her mistress. She also remembered how agitated he had been when his mistress died. Emei Sect had no one to rely on, and Happy had traveled thousands of miles to Emei Sect to help her solve her worries.
In the end, he had even turned against Zhang Wuji and Xie Xun for her and snatched Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber!
It could be said that Happy was the greatest contributor and friend to Emei Sect's complete control.
"Happy."
Zhou Zhiruo's tone clearly showed signs of becoming gentler.
But Happy did not give her the time to speak.
"In the future, I will no longer interfere or affect your matters. I sincerely hope that you can inherit Mistress Annihilation's dying wish and make Emei Sect flourish! "As for your wedding with Song Qingshu, I'm afraid that I won't be able to go and congratulate you, but I will sincerely congratulate you and Young Master Song … for being together forever."
Once he finished speaking, he did not give Zhou Zhiruo the chance to reply. He turned around and left.
When she saw this, not only did Zhou Zhiruo's expression change, the expressions of the elites from the sects in the area also changed. They stopped to watch. They did not expect that Happy and Zhou Zhiruo, who had a good relationship with each other, would say such resolute words.
The players could not understand why Happy would give up on Zhou Zhiruo's affection for no reason.
