154 Market Price Change (2/2)
Happy put away the World of Martial Arts Secret News Log. He then bought a few sets of rather normal handwoven clothes from players in the mountain village. Once he changed his clothes, he summoned the normal horse he once used and left the village.
More than one hundred riders rode on the road he traveled with dust clouds flying behind them.
The person in the lead was a man with a rather savage and murderous look on his face. Beside him was a man with a coronet who had a hooked nose and long, narrow eyes. He hugged a skull-shaped metallic weapon that had two segments. Their appearance was very eye-catching and astonishing.
When they saw Happy stop by the road, they scrutinized him with derision. They swept their gazes over him and his horse, but no one stopped for even a moment.
They rushed into the mountain village Happy had stayed in for a moment with dust behind them. Happy could hear vague shouts once they entered.
”Search the place!”
”He rides a high-grade purplish-red horse, and he's dressed in blue. He'll be very easily recognized!”
The rumbling of horse hooves and their roars as well as actions that made them sound like bandits alarmed the entire mountain village!
However, it was very clear that they would find nothing.
Before even entering the village, Happy had already given up on using the purplish-red horse. The players in the village were also short on money, so they would naturally not be stupid enough to spend a whole load of money to purchase his location.
A few minutes later, the entire mountain village was searched through, but the riders did not manage to find their target.
At that moment, new information was delivered to them via messenger pigeon!
”What location?”
”I don't know!”
”What?”
”Our brothers in the city said that his value has doubled! Every single time someone tries to perform a divination about him, they will have to pay two thousand taels of silver crumbs... How could this be?!” The man with the coronet was filled with surprise.
This sort of thing had never happened before!
The leader scowled. With great impatience, he swung his hand and answered, ”Cut the bull and give them the money! We'll talk after we find him!”
Once they sent a messenger pigeon back, an answer soon came from the city.
The man with the coronet cast a glance at the paper and crushed it with great strength.
”He changed his attire! He's that person we ran into outside the village!”
The aggressive look on the leader's face instantly become much more prominent. He struck his horse, turned around, and shouted, ”After him!”
When he finished speaking, the man with the purple coronet and hooked nose took the lead and charged forward. In just a moment, he got out of the village.
”I'll stop him on the road ahead!”
As he spoke, the incredibly handsome black horse under him shot past the group like an arrow, and soon, he was far into the distance.
”Once you find him, don't be in a hurry to fight him! Hold him back and wait for us!” the leader reminded him with a shout.
”I know.” His horse galloped so fast that no dust could touch it.
Those people were unlike the idle organizations or normal sects that Happy had previously encountered.
As a gaming guild famous in the country, they could not waste their resources. If they used up so much manpower and time to search for a person, but were still unable to get him, then not only would the money they spent doing so all vanish into the wind, it would also be very embarrassing once people learned of it.
Besides, the money Happy had was incredibly important for the future development of their guild.
Furthermore, Happy was ranked in the fourth place on the Famous People Rank. As long as they killed him, the day when their guild would rise to power would no longer be far away.
They regarded the descriptions regarding Happy within World of Martial Arts Secret News Log contemptuously.
They had observed the video from Punishment Mount online, and they came to a conclusion that Happy had relied entirely on the defense provided to him by nature—Iron Chain Bridge—to defeat Class One Hall. His other feats were not astonishing at all.
He had never ran into anyone with actual power during his journey. Everyone he had faced before could not compare to them!
