291 Exit the Mausoleum (1/2)
The final hall in the second level of the royal mausoleum was filled with a happiness that was born from the people knowing that the entire thing was about to come to an end and they were about to get their rewards.
There were more than seventy corpses of different ninjas strewn all over the narrow tunnel. They could be found every dozen feet.
The few remaining soldier puppets had also been crushed in the tunnel. They used their last moments to protect Yan Dynasty's royal mausoleum, and although they ended up having their bones crushed, it proved their value.
The Knife-throwing Ninjas' positions and throwing knives were more troublesome to deal with. However, once they reached the hall in the second level of the royal mausoleum, they found that they could not retreat any further. The people from the two tunnels to the left and right forced them into a corner The throwing knives that sank into the floor, walls, and stone pillars in the hall became their final song of despair before their deaths.
The players finally emerged victorious in the raid, and the trip to the royal mausoleum came to an end.
The loot was distributed calmly after that.
The four sects distributed what belonged to them equally.
Happy collected all the resources in his side of the tunnel. He obtained seven high-grade masterpieces, quite a lot of Soaring Eagle Swords, and money. His rewards were great, but the people from the four sects were willing to let this happen. No one interfered with him taking his loot.
In comparison, they were much more curious about Ninja King.
When they saw him return with the loot, they subconsciously surrounded him from all sides.
”Where's Ninja King?”
”I'm not too sure about that. If there is anyone who is interested in the tomb to the right, you can go over and take a look.” Happy casually made it seem that Ninja King was held back in the tomb to the right and that he had seized a chance to escape.
”Is the puppet in the tomb that good?”
”Yup, he should be in Moksha Realm.”
”Then if they are heavily injured because of the fight, won't we have a chance?”
One person in the group was tempted, but soon, the others scoffed at him, and he let his idea die a natural death.
”They're in Moksha Realm, bro. Even if they're injured, we won't be able to do anything to them, and you think that you can kill them? Even if you want to be the third party who benefits, you need to be strong enough for that. Do you actually think those are two puppies fighting?”
The person who had held some hope was rendered speechless.
Happy smiled.
”His words might be crass, but his reasoning is right. I have to say, during the few minutes Ninja King chased after me, I used up three bottles of Dew Pills. If you're interested in cleaning up after them, I won't stop you… but it'll be best if we break this wall and get out of the royal mausoleum first. If you lure Ninja King over before that, we'll all die because of you.”
In his heart, however, he thought, 'Ninja King's gone, but Old Swordsman is still around. If you really end up provoking him, I have to say, you have even more rotten luck than me provoking Ninja King.'
The person who had spoken earlier was so embarrassed he wanted to die. His face turned red, and he smiled foolishly without saying anything more.
”Since Ninja King is not dead yet, we can't waste time. Let's attack together and break this Ghost Face Wall so that we can leave the royal mausoleum!” Ouyang Qing said.
There were only around ten Wudang Sect disciples left alive, and they could be considered to be in a very miserable state. When Ouyang Qing heard Happy's words, he was suddenly very worried. If Ninja King came over and they ended up getting wiped out, he would not be able to handle the emotional shock.
The others felt as if they had been targeted and felt uneasy. They rushed to the green Ghost Face Wall at the end of the hall.
They could see a glowing door through a hole on the wall. It was probably the exit of the royal mausoleum.
”Wait!”
Once they talked about getting out of the royal mausoleum, Happy suddenly remembered one problem, and his face darkened. While facing the puzzled gazes from the four sects, he said, ”Let me send a message and ask my friends outside whether the people from Soaring Tiger Sect are still waiting outside!”
There was a brief moment of silence before the four sects burst into a commotion.
The rewards and the things they saw along the way had made them forget about the matter regarding Soaring Tiger Sect they had told about earlier. Right then, when they saw the solemn expression on Happy's face, they immediately became wary.

[Boss, the flowers are about to wilt with how long we've waited. Is there really a need for you to spend so much time to clear the royal mausoleum?]
