The four disciples of Sword Sect slowly spoke of a past that filled them with bitterness!
They were originally four pretty good disciples in Sword Sect, but when they went out by chance to carry out an important mission, they accidentally lost the treasure they were supposed to protect in secret.
Since the mission was very secretive, only the four of them and a few elders in Sword Sect knew about it, and the matter became very complicated and troublesome.
On their way back to Sword Sect, they were even surrounded by their fellow sect members.
Fortunately, they were quite popular in Sword Sect, and they did not fight against each other. However, their fellow sect members told them that once the news spread, the great elder of Sword Sect believed that they leaked the news or hid the treasure for themselves. He wanted to bring them back to Sword Sect to interrogate them, and a few of them were even ordered to kill them without mercy.
When they thought about it carefully, they realized that the elder council might be involved in this matter, which was why they fled and hid their names in the world of martial artists for a few years. While they hid everywhere, they searched for the news of the lost treasure.
But recently, they suddenly learned that the great elder's son had obtained the sect master's favor and was promoted to the successor of the inner sect. The reason was because the great elder's son had found the lost treasure for Sword Sect. Rumors said that he had seized it from the four of them. When the four of them heard about it, they knew that they would not be able to clear their name, and the thought of taking revenge rose in their hearts.
Hence, they practiced the sword formation every day so that they could one day run into the shameless father and son of Sword Sect's great elder and let them know just how powerful they were.
"This is Sword Sect's own matter. Is there any point in telling me?" Happy might pity the four, but when he thought about how this involved the leaders of a super sect, he did not feel confident.
The four's expressions turned dark. One of them braced himself and said, "Indeed.
We shouldn't have dragged you into this, but we know that your name has spread through the world of martial artists over this period of time, and the sects value you greatly. "
He stopped talking for a moment before he said, "Besides, this treasure is actually related to a great secret of Sword Sect."
"Hmm?"
Happy's eyes lit up. Endless curiosity was stirred in him again. The secret of a great sect might be either a divine weapon or ultimate technique. This was a fatal temptation to any martial artist.
"A few years ago, Sword Sect asked us to protect a few Divine Weapon Crystal Chips, an important treasure! Young Swordsman Happy, have you ever heard of the story behind Divine Weapon Heaven Crystal? "
Happy's heart trembled when he heard it, and he cried out in surprise.
"Heaven Crystal!"
"Indeed. Many years ago, it was once in the Nangong Clan's possession. Later on, it dominated the world of martial artists for a period of time and killed countless people." A few people chimed in at the same time, and their faces were filled with excitement. "Someone said that if you get Heaven Crystal, you can get Heaven Crystal Sword Technique. It has endless power, and even gods and demons will flee."
"A few years ago, we received a request from the sect master of Sword Sect. He asked the four of us to escort Heaven Crystal's fragments to the mighty northern clan. He wanted to work together with the Nangong Clan and the mighty northern clan to repair Heaven Crystal, but against our expectations, we were robbed by our own people on the way. The four of us could be considered to have escaped from death, but Heaven Crystal's fragments ended up in Sword Sect's hands."
"What a strange twist. Looks like the person who brought Heaven Crystal back isn't your elder, but your sect master." When Happy heard them say that, he could not help but laugh coldly.
The four of them looked at each other, and their expressions were dejected.
Even though they had thought about what Happy said and did not want to admit it, Heaven Crystal was such an important treasure, and they actually let a few disciples escort it?! It was indeed sloppy and full of loopholes.
Furthermore …
The sect master of Sword Sect did not seem to have any intention to investigate the matter. He just rewarded the great elder's son.
This caused them to feel aggrieved and incredibly angry. They wanted to burn and vent all the grievances and anger they had accumulated over the years!
"What's the point of telling me about this?" Happy thought about it for a while before he asked, "Right now, Heaven Crystal has returned to Sword Sect. Do you want me to steal it or take revenge for you and go to Sword Sect to kill people? Don't you think that I'm a little too naive? "
"Young Swordsman Happy, that's not what we meant, and we don't dare to think about it." The one who had been speaking was a rather level-headed person from Sword Sect. He used a greatsword, and he seemed to be the core of the four.
He quickly explained, "We also obtained some information. It seems like Sword Sect intends to deliver Heaven Crystal again. They seem to have the intention to work together with the mighty northern clan and the Nangong Clan to repair Heaven Crystal."
"…"
Happy was silent for a while before he asked, "Who is the person they are escorting this time?"
"A top-class elite from the elder council. I heard that the sect master is personally leading the team this time, and he will stay in the mighty northern clan for a period of time," the abandoned disciple answered. As he spoke, he enunciated each word clearly, and the hate in his voice could not be hidden.
Happy looked at the person.
"So, you're saying that this cooperation is sincere?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Based on our understanding over this period of time, regardless of whether it's the mighty northern clan or the Nangong Clan, their strength is no longer as great as before. If they work together, they won't be Sword Sect's opponent. A few years ago, Sword Sect intentionally used this method to deceive others and stall for time. Even though it caused the three parties to fall into a stalemate, they might be bringing out Heaven Crystal again at this time because they are certain that the two clans will not be able to fight against Sword Sect. They want to use the two clans' strength to repair Heaven Crystal and obtain Heaven Crystal Sword Technique!"
When he heard the abandoned disciple's answer, Happy nodded slowly. He finally believed in their words.
The eight aristocratic families were indeed not strong.
But Sword Sect was a super sect that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the six great system-allocated sects. They had absolute suppression.
But …
For a divine weapon, they gave up on four disciples. This move was truly detestable.
"What do you need me to do?"
Happy looked at the four people with a stern expression and said, "I'm not strong. It's impossible for me to steal Heaven Crystal. What do you want me to do for you?"
The four people looked at each other.
"It's like this. Over the years, we've been paying attention to the Nangong Clan and the mighty northern clan. In fact, we've secretly trained a few disciples and arranged them to be in the mighty northern clan's Sword Crafting Pool. When Sword Sect takes action to repair Heaven Crystal, I hope that you can help us and seize the repaired Heaven Crystal. Of course, this revenge is to vent the hatred in our hearts, so we don't dare to let you show up. We're in charge of causing trouble and attracting the firepower. You can just attack during the chaos and take away Heaven Crystal."
"When will we attack?"
"At the earliest, it will be a month later."
The person in the lead answered.
"Sword Sect will need half a month to escort Heaven Crystal to the mighty northern clan. Based on the information sent by the mighty northern clan, they will need at least one and a half months to repair Heaven Crystal, which is two months later. At that time, we will send a messenger pigeon to inform you."
Two months later.
'Which means before and after I fight against One Emperor?'
Happy frowned.
But when he thought about Heaven Crystal, which was a divine weapon that shocked the world in the Legend of Sons of Heaven and Tiger Soul, he felt his heart burn, and in the end, he nodded and agreed to it.
