257 The World of Martial Artists Was Not Calm (2/2)

”Glutinous Rice?”

The sect members from Emei Sect burst into commotion and looked over.

The people from Beautiful Robes Sect were also stunned. They cast their gazes on a teenager who had tried to shrink and hide in the crowd. When she saw that things had progressed beyond saving, she knew that she could no longer hide. She stuck out her tongue and reluctantly walked out from among the people from Beautiful Robes Sect.

”Hello, senior sister,” she said.

”Young Glutinous Rice, why are you there?”

”Oh ho, no wonder you said you were busy when we invited you. Here we are, wondering what exactly was so important. So, you actually abandoned us to form another group! Are all of them your coursemates?”

The ladies from Emei Sect seemed to know Glutinous Rice. They surrounded her, and some of them even pinched her cheeks. Glutinous Rice looked as if she had been wronged, even though she was innocent, and she had a frown on her face, which made her look like a tomato.

”Senior sisters, my coursemates are here. Please allow me to save some dignity…”

Glutinous Rice smiled wanly. She looked so indignant that she wanted to cry, but could not.

When they heard Glutinous Rice's ”tearful complaints”, the girls from Emei Sect finally stopped teasing her. They cast their gazes on the group of students from Beautiful Robes Sect and smiled cordially at them.

”So, they're all your coursemates, right? You sure have a pretty good life. It's no wonder that you didn't want to join us. Oh well, we'll forgive you this time. But there are too few people in your group. You might be in danger when you go in. Why don't you join us in this operation? We can take care of each other. How does that sound?”

”How should we distribute the items then?”

A senior sister looked at Glutinous Rice with a reprimanding look. ”Young Glutinous Rice, did you actually think that we as your senior sisters would treat your coursemates badly? Even if we move in together, it doesn't mean that we'll be killing monsters together. Whatever you manage to snatch will belong to you. It's just that when things are dangerous, we can take care of each other.”

”Alright, then.”

No matter what, Phoenix Dances was the spokesperson and master of Beautiful Robes Faction. When she saw that the senior sisters from Emei Sect seemed to be very fond of Glutinous Rice, and they had also made things very clear, she immediately agreed to their offer.

When they saw that a group of beautiful Emei Sect ladies had joined them, the spirits of the men of Beautiful Robes Sect rose. The disappointment brought by Happy breaking his promise was also mostly washed away.

Once the two groups gathered together, they were nearly one hundred people, and they had a mighty presence.

When Mount Hua Sect and Emei Sect entered the royal mausoleum with a great momentum, the area outside the royal mausoleum instantly became silent.

However, the silence did not last for long.

The bamboo forest swayed, and the bamboo leaves fell with rustling sounds.

Thud, thud, thud, thud!

Rapi footsteps could be heard in the air. Hundreds of people surged into the area outside the royal mausoleum from every direction.

The people in the lead were a group of men and women with hostile expressions. The person who was the most eye-catching among them had the picture of a tiger with a pair of wings tattooed on his bald head. He was half-naked, and his tattoo was very garish. He stared at the entrance of the royal mausoleum with a dark gaze.

Whoosh!

One of the people left the group and rushed to the entrance. He moved around it like a headless fly before he ran back to stand beside the bald man with the tiger tattoo.

”Brother Tiger, we can't enter anymore!”

The latter's expression did not change. He spoke with a dark tone, which was the tone he usually used.

”It's only to be expected that we can't enter. This place is strange, and we have to have the items that calm our hearts to protect us. The people from the seven great system-allocated sects… Hmph, let them go. We don't know what sort of dangers exist in the royal mausoleum, but when they come out, we must take the items they get there. Brothers, surround the place, and let's wait for them to come out!”

With that order, hundreds of people moved to swiftly lock down a large area around the royal mausoleum.

In the depths of the bamboo forest, there were three people who stood at the top of some bamboos and were staring at the people down below swiftly mobilizing their forces and entering a formation. Their expressions were not very good.

”These people… I knew they were up to no good when they came up from behind us. I think they were summoned by that person from Kunlun Sect. What should we do now?”

Little North and Thunderous Battle looked at Happy, who bobbed up and down along with the bamboo leaf as it swayed.
