422 End of Quest? (1/2)

”Time's up!

”Effectively hit Ceng A'niu twice. Obtained the affection of the teachers from the six great sects! Increased reputation by 5,000 points. Lose 1,000 chivalry points. Obtained 1,000 points.”

The stream of notifications caused Happy to release a breath of relief. 'Two times? Looks like Dragon Capture is considered an effective attack. I've earned big this time.'

He had obtained more than 1,300 points on the way, so at that moment, he had 2,300 points. There might not be anyone in the six great system-allocated sects who could compare to him right then.

”Wuji! You're my boy Wuji!”

White-browed Eagle King's excited voice rang through the valley.

Wudang Sect's Song Yuanqiao, the sixth hero, and the seventh hero rushed out of the six great system-allocated sects' camp and surrounded Zhang Wuji. There might have been a small change to the plot, but it quickly returned to the original track.

When the players saw that, they understood that the quest at Light Summit had almost ended. With Zhang Wuji's identity exposed, Wudang Sect would definitely be unable to continue attacking. They would retreat, and the teachers of the six great system-allocated sects who lost to Zhang Wuji would find themselves too embarrassed to continue staying at Light Summit, and they will leave with their people as well.

As expected, Mistress Annihilation turned around and cast Zhou Zhiruo a glance. ”I see, so you knew a long time ago that he's Zhang Wuji… Hmph!”

Zhou Zhiruo was very afraid of Mistress Annihilation, and she lowered her head without a word.

When Happy returned to the Emei Sect disciples, he saw that Zhou Zhiruo was incredibly upset, and he sighed in his heart. 'I knew it was going to happen, and I didn't manage to avoid it. Zhou Zhiruo's attack caused her to fall even deeper into the throes of love, and she is filled with self-blame and worry. Those feelings will fill her heart, and she won't be able to extract herself from it.'

”Amitabha.” The abbot of Shaolin Temple called out the name of Buddha. ”Since our six sects have lost in the hands of this young patron, we are willing to admit defeat. Everyone, it is not convenient for Shaolin Temple to stay for long in this place. We will take our leave now!”

”This is…” Kunlun Sect's He Taichong might not have been very willing to admit defeat, but when he saw that Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect had stopped attacking, he found that he no longer had a pillar of support, which was why he snorted, flung his sleeves, and left.

Immediately after, Mount Hua Sect and Emei Sect led their people down the mountain as well!

The sea of fire in the ravine behind the valley had been extinguished by then.

The members of Ming Cult and the six great system-allocated sects outside the ravine also received a notification from the system and had their real identities restored. They were released from the quest at Light Summit.

”That's all?”

”Damn it!”

”I only managed to make it to Mount Huangshan after rushing to this place for a few days and nights, but you're telling me that the quest at Light Summit has ended before I even saw the teachers and Zhang Wuji's shadow?”

”What the heck?!”

”This is a scam!”

Countless players gave up and cursed the heavens.

Even though the players who managed to survive the quest had some points, they could not get any benefits from the six great system-allocated sects or Ming Cult. It could be said that they had served as background characters for the quest, and it was easy to imagine just how great was their anger and grievance.

The people who were blocked by the sea of fire felt the most aggrieved!

They could tell that the six great system-allocated sects were about to engage in a furious battle in the valley, but they had been blocked outside. That was clearly something the system had intentionally cooked up to stop them and limit the number of players who could insert themselves into the plot.

”Bastards!”

”If I knew this, I wouldn't have come.”

Many people complained to the high heavens, and after cursing up a storm, they went down the mountain. Some of them even came to a decision that they would never participate in this sort of quest if they ran into another one in the future.

It was a scam! It was so obviously a scam!

Most players only came to understand later that if they were too far away from a storyline quest, they did not need to participate in them at all, because they would waste a lot of time just to come over. Besides, such quests did not require a large number of people participating in them. If there were too many people around, the system would just increase the limits on who could remain till the end.

For example, the second half of the quest at Light Summit was only for half a day, so mobilizing one million men for it was a little too much.
