413 Cautious in Every Step (2/2)

The morale among the members of Ming Cult had become much higher than before. Even if they did not get Heaven and Earth Great Shift Qi Cultivation Technique, if they could gain the favor of a Ming Cult elite, it would be good as well..

*****

The people from the six great system-allocated sects were ambushed by Five Banner Division at almost the same time, and due to their aggressive offense, they lost quite a number of people.

During the time Emei Sect rested to reorganize their forces, messenger pigeons flew up and down from the crowd!

Many people were trying to get information on the progress and situation from the other groups.

Soon, the news of Ming Cult's large scale counterattack traveled among the players, and it stirred up an abnormal and uneasy atmosphere among them.

”Damn it! A large group of Ming Cult disciples is moving up with the help from those in Five Banner Division! Based on what my friends said, the strength of those people isn't that great, but they're very cunning. Their numbers aren't that much lower than ours, and they might actually be players.”

”How could this be?!”

”He's right. They should be players Ming Cult drew to their side.”

”Ah!”

”This is bad.”

The crowd instantly burst into a commotion, and many people began complaining that it was unfair.

The six great system-allocated sects might have begun their attack with a great momentum, but on their way, the higher ups only sent their disciples and the various martial artists to attack; they never attacked themselves. Ming Cult's Five Banner Division, however, used their full strength to protect Light Summit, and they displayed their abilities right from the start!

”We can't fight this way anymore!”

”Let's go!”

”Let's just go down the mountain. That damn Mistress Annihilation. She never attacked. Does she intend to have all the Emei Sect disciples die?”

A number of players began to measure the strength of the six great system-allocated sects against the Ming Cult, and they were greatly disappointed. An idea to retreat spread among them.

Their words inevitably reached the ears of Happy and the others.

Ancient Wind tentatively approached Happy and spoke to him in a whisper while looking slightly uneasy. ”What should we do? Happy, if this is true, we'll be forced into an even more defensive position by continuing.”

”We'll keep them back when they come,” Happy answered cooly, but his gaze wandered to the disciples beside Mistress Annihilation.

Ding Minjun and Bei Jinyi might not have displayed much of their abilities in the movies, but they were actually quite strong. During the encounter just then, they had been injured, but among the Five Banner Division members who died, more than ten of them did so because of them.

As for Zhou Zhiruo, her abilities were not inferior to those of her senior sisters, but she was not injured in the slightest. Momo followed Zhou Zhiruo around closely. When she met Happy's gaze in the air, there was slight annoyance in her eyes.

Momo had not killed or injured any Five Banner Division members during the fight just then. She just stayed close to Zhou Zhiruo and protected her. She had only used her Throw Spirit Sphere a few times to flick away a few Five Banner Division members in time so that Zhou Zhiruo would not get injured.

When she saw Happy walk over, she finally released a breath of relief.

”Isn't it about time for you to tell me the reason behind why I should protect Zhou Zhiruo? Don't tell me that you've taken a fancy for her beauty and to the fact that she's single…” Momo snorted lightly and stared into Happy's eyes.

Happy smiled. ”You're asking even though you've guessed the reason?”

”I guessed it? Are you…” Momo's expression changed, and she frowned. She quickly lowered her voice. ”What's going on? You accepted that quest? Do you want to die?”

”What other choice do I have? The system gave me that quest and asked me to protect a great beauty who is as pretty as a flower and a jade. She's even an important character to the plot. Was I supposed to refuse it?”

When Happy finished speaking, Momo rolled her eyes at him. ”Of course you should have. Forget about Song Qingshu, do you intend to fight against Zhang Wuji for her? Anyone who interferes with the plot won't end up well, and no one has succeeded in the past. You'll end up dying in a ditch somewhere, and you won't even know how you died!”

Momo might have sounded cold, but the worry buried deep in her words was clear.

”I know my own abilities.” Happy smiled. ”Zhang Wuji might not be an easy opponent, but he's a kind person. He'll never kill easily. That's why I won't be in danger for the time being. Don't worry, I'll be cautious with every step I take.”
