315 Being Issued an Arrest Warrant Embroidered Uniform Guards (1/2)
Boom!
When the crowd saw a huge hole open up in the restaurant's wall and bits of wood flying everywhere, the people at the center of the street cried out in surprise and avoided the sharp projectiles falling all around them.
”What the heck?! What's going on?!”
”How dare these people be so arrogant in the city?!”
Happy and the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards ignored the indignant words from the players behind them. They simply rushed forward as fast as they could.
However, Phantom Body Movement Skill used by Happy was clearly superior. He moved about in the crowd with ease. With a few jumps, he managed to leave behind the Embroidered Uniform Guards. That skill was the source of Happy's confidence as well as the reason behind why he had been so calm since the start.
Once he got out of the city, he didn't say nothing. He just summoned Hoof Shadow and mounted it with a loud whoosh. After a single clear command, his Hoof Shadow kicked its hooves and quickly left the town like a violent gust of wind.
”Bastard!”
When the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards rushed out of the city and saw the figure that left him in the dust, he spat fiercely.
Once his lackeys arrived one after another, he glared at them and roared, ”Why are you standing around like idiots! Get on your horses and chase after him!”
”Yes, sir!”
The group tugged at their horses in a flurry of motion.

Ever since Happy was discovered by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, he gave up on heading to Baokang through the sea. Even though he had killed imperial court officials before, he had never encountered such high leveled ones. The efficiency of the Embroidered Uniform Guards was linked to the level of the officials involved.
Since Happy was already targeted by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, if he still went to Baokang through water, he felt as if he would be deceiving himself. He opened the world map and looked for the shortest route going straight without bothering about government-made roads.
His Hoof Shadow ran on the smooth road. When he saw dense forests or rather complicated terrain, he put away his Hoof Shadow and used his Phantasm Body Movement Skill to go through those places. It took him a few hours, and he quickly went through Hefei.
However, he still had two days left before he reached Baokang!
During that period of time, he logged off to eat only to immediately logged in again. He did not dare to stop and continued to rush ahead, charging forth like the wind that did not know about exhaustion.
Even though the Embroidered Uniform Guards' strength could not threaten Happy, the strength of the imperial court was rather terrifying. If he killed an imperial court official but there was no concrete proof behind his actions, the Embroidered Uniform Guards would not easily punish him or declare him guilty. But if he killed Embroidered Uniform Guards, Western Depot and Eastern Depot would send increasingly stronger law enforcers for his head. They would even send Moksha Realm elites to capture him, and at that time, he would surely die.
Once he died, he would not be revived in Guanlin Temple either. Instead, he would be detained and sent to a city wall that had nearly collapsed to perform hard labor such as repairing the wall or transporting bricks. He would be forced to work for a total of seven days and nights before he could be considered to have atoned for his crimes.
Happy did not intend to go through that suffering!
Besides, since the Murong Clan had already agreed to take care of the matter, they would definitely be able to do so. He would be fine as long as he hid for a few days, which could be considered as the price for killing an imperial court official and getting the Silver Aquatic Dragon Set.

Happy's feat of killing the general in silver armor who was protected by twenty-four Life and Death fighters while being chased by an army of ten thousand people was soon known by all!
It became a major matter that shook the world of martial artists after Five Venoms.
With the armored ships from the Murong Clan, Happy could be said to have stunned everyone who saw the battle replay! He had earned precious time for the Murong Clan, especially during the two times he quickly charged out to kill people after at the bed of common reeds. It gave people a smooth and clean feeling, which reminded them of the Hong Kong martial arts movies that had once been popular in the world.
The success in the quest helped Happy secure his throne on the Famous People Rank!
There were also people who spread rumors saying that if they wanted to find out where he was right then, they had to wait until his Killer Star Effect disappeared. Once it did, they would need to spend at least ten thousand taels of silver to buy information about him once. His price was so high that he was among the three people who cost the most if anyone tried to figure out where they were!
The two people who were ranked in front of Happy were One Emperor and Zhou Yu.
These two came and went like the wind, but they secured the two top positions on the Dragon Rank firmly.
Their investigation fees were high because they were people who had Mystical Realm high-tier martial arts at Grandmaster Realm, and they were also rumored to be people who improved the fastest. They had the highest chance to reach Life and Death Realm within two months as well. That was something that even Dream Clouds—the top ranked player on the Phoenix Rank—could not hope to achieve.

On that day, Xu Xin made lunch as usual for Happy and woke him up.
