At the back door of Heaven Shaker Fortress.
Hundreds of men in armor charged fiercely at a group of Sword Crafting Hall disciples in an attempt to rush into Heaven Shaker Fortress from the back door.
Heaven Shaker Fortress might not have many people, but with the geographical advantage and the archers on the high ground, they defended the back door firmly and did not let the group of people break into the fortress.
However …
Deaths were inevitable in a bloody battle!
Both sides soon left behind nearly one hundred corpses. The number of people outside the fortress gradually decreased. Most of them gathered near the entrance, but the people inside Heaven Shaker Fortress were the same. They were in a perilous situation.
At that moment, a group of people suddenly rushed out of a house in the fortress. There were more than twenty of them, and each of them was dressed as a Sword Sect disciple. They were incredibly eye-catching.
"Kill our way out!"
Even though the Sword Crafting Hall disciples in Heaven Shaker Fortress were incredibly shocked and surprised by the appearance of this group of Sword Sect disciples, they did not dare to recklessly attack them.
They could only watch as they jumped over the wall. The twenty or so people rushed outside at an astonishing speed. Sword qis rampaged about, and they forcefully slaughtered their way out. They left behind a group of Moksha Realm disciples who were held back by the men in armor. Three Inaction Realm disciples were injured, and they left without a care in the world.
"Save me!"
"Bastards! Kill our way out! " The twenty or so Moksha Realm Sword Sect disciples clearly did not have the ability to forcefully break out of the encirclement of the men in armor. When they tried to break out of the encirclement head-on, they were instantly surrounded, and they were so anxious that they started cursing loudly.
In an instant, a few people were cut down and fell to the ground.
The people in Heaven Shaker Fortress were indifferent to this.
At that moment, another person shot out of the fortress!
Under the Sword Crafting Hall disciples' shocked gazes, a young man dressed as a Sword Crafting Hall disciple rushed out. He had Golden Gloves on his hands, and with two palm strikes, he forced back the man in armor right in front of him before he rushed into the crowd.
However …
This person did not go to save the Sword Sect disciples. He charged forward and quickly attacked with his palms. He was like a huge golden dragon that moved and attacked swiftly. He knocked down a group of men in armor with the force of a bulldozer and broke out of the encirclement within a short period of time.
Without hesitation or turning his head around, he chased after the Sword Sect disciples who had left into the distance.
…
Happy's act of breaking out of the encirclement might have shocked and surprised the people from Heaven Shaker Fortress, but it also reduced quite a lot of pressure on them. While the attention of the armored men was diverted and quite a number of them were injured, Happy seized the chance to fire at full force. He killed dozens of people on the spot and greatly reduced the pressure on the back door.
…
The battle in Heaven Shaker Fortress continued.
Then, he tore off Mu Li's human skin mask and changed into a set of white snow traveling clothes. He completely blended into the snow around him and chased after the three Sword Sect disciples like a phantom.
…
He followed the three Sword Sect disciples for more than ten miles and went around a large cedar forest. The area in front of him suddenly became clear, and a semi-enclosed col appeared.
"Old Qi, it's me."
"Why are you back so early? Where are the others? Why are there only three of you? " Then, a snow wall trembled slightly to reveal a dark cave. A group of people walked out one after another, and they stared at the disheveled trio with great surprise.
"Let's not talk about it. We ran into people from the Four Cloud Range Immortals, and I think they're from the Paragon."
"The Paragon …" The pupils of the group who came out of the cave shrank swiftly, as if they had just heard a name that was incredibly taboo and terrifying.
"Heaven Shaker Fortress was surrounded. When we saw that the attention of the mighty northern clan and the Nangong Clan had been diverted, we retreated first," the young Sword Sect disciple in the lead answered with a guileless expression. The leading young Sword Sect disciple answered without shame, "The others didn't come out when they tried to break through."
"Is that so?"
Their voices gradually became softer.
Happy noticed that once these people heard that Heaven Shaker Fortress was under attack, they no longer had any thoughts of continuing to hide their tracks. They decided to build a fire in the col to chase away the cold.
The group surrounded the fire, but they did not say anything. They did not show any intention to leave either.
When he saw this, puzzlement rose in Happy's heart again.
'What's going on?'
If it were not for the fact that the group of people in the area were all in Inaction Realm, Happy might have immediately turned around and returned to Heaven Shaker Fortress.
Since these people were still here, it meant that they had some sort of connection with Heaven Crystal in Heaven Shaker Fortress.
Besides, the sect master of Sword Sect had arranged for them to wait here. They should be the team to receive them.
However …
Would Heaven Crystal end up in the hands of Sword Sect, who had been plotting this for the longest time?
Happy was not very certain.
But …
Compared to the mighty northern clan and the Nangong Clan, it was clear that the possibility of Sword Sect being the sect master of Sword Sect, who had years of meticulous planning, was much higher! The only unexpected factor was the Four Cloud Range Immortals. Their arrival had added some variables to the quest.
But …
If Heaven Crystal ended up in the hands of the Four Cloud Range Immortals, Happy could be said to have no chance at all. It would be better for him to guard the people from Sword Sect and see whether he could dig out some clues.
Time ticked by.
Cold wind howled outside the col.
Happy withstood the cold and buried himself in the snow pile under the cedar tree without moving. He did not dare to relax for even a moment while paying attention to the movements around him.
…
"Four Cloud Range Immortals are only so-so."
"Hmph! What can the two of you do to me?! "
"If we can't take Heaven Crystal away, when the elites from the Nangong Clan arrive and work together with the people from the mighty northern clan and Sword Sect, won't we be able to destroy the Four Cloud Range Immortals?"
"Hahahaha!"
Malicious Ghost moved about with ease under the pincer attack from the two people, who appeared to be united but were actually divided. When he heard their words, he laughed madly.
"If you can't take them down even after attacking for a long time, do you think that the paragon will not send reinforcements?"
When he finished speaking, the expressions of the Sword Sect Master and the old monster from the Nangong Clan instantly turned incredibly dark. Even Bei Xiao and the others outside Sword Crafting Hall had solemn expressions appear on their faces.
"Four Cloud Range Immortals, if anything happens to Heaven Shaker Fortress this time, even if I have to run to the ends of the world, I swear that I will personally behead the four of you!" Bei Xiao swore in extreme anger.
What welcomed him was an even fiercer offense from the Four Cloud Range Immortals.
"Sect Master Luo, looks like if we don't work together, Heaven Crystal will end up in someone else's hands," the old man from the Nangong Clan suddenly said in a low voice.
"Then what do you think we should do? Do you want me to use my full strength to fight against Malicious Ghost and have you take Heaven Crystal? "
"Bah!"
The old man's expression turned cold. "We're already in a situation like this. Even if I get Heaven Crystal, can I take it from your hands? It's not as if you didn't see how Heaven Crystal can injure others. No matter who has it, they will die!"
"Very well. Hold back Malicious Ghost at full strength, and I'll take Heaven Crystal! With Heaven Crystal in hand, we might be able to get rid of Malicious Ghost. "
"You …" The old man from the Nangong Clan did not expect that Sword Sect would be so unreasonable. He gritted his teeth.
"Alright! We'll talk about the ownership of Heaven Crystal in the future. Let's work together to get rid of Malicious Ghost first! "Forced into resignation, the old man from the Nangong Clan agreed to the Sword Sect Master's suggestion.
The atmosphere in Sword Crafting Hall suddenly changed.
A burning look that was difficult for normal people to notice shone in the Sword Sect Master's eyes. While Malicious Ghost was forced to the side, he shot to Heaven Crystal like lightning and grabbed it without any hesitation! A layer of silver powder was pressed against the sword hilt.
Then, he sucked in a breath and stared at the sky above Sword Crafting Hall with a solemn gaze.
