521 Hero’s Mountain Villa (2/2)
At the same time, the other sects in the world of martial artists used different ways to hide their tracks while bringing their young martial artists who had earned the right to compete in the tournament to the mysterious Hero's Mountain Villa.
*****
Hero's Mountain Villa was indeed built in another region. Regardless of whether it was an island in the sea or a mysterious paradise on earth, it was impossible for the martial artists from all over the world to gather there within a short amount of time.
However, Happy and the others received the notification that they would reach Hero's Mountain Villa four hours later!
They logged off to make preparations, and when they returned to the game, they had already arrived in the region where Hero's Mountain Villa was.
It was a huge fort that was like a cube.
The walls at the periphery were more than sixty-five feet tall, and they gave off a very grand presence.
There were countless holes for arrows to come out in them.
A man-made moat could be found outside the walls. It was more than 164 feet wide, and it isolated the fort. There were tall suspension bridges set up in every direction, and they could be disconnected from the middle.
The fort was very easy to defend.
When Happy and the others saw the fort before their eyes, they sucked in sharp breaths.
”Is this Hero's Mountain Villa?”
”Why does it feel like this fort can be used for war?”
Eleventh Crane used the keen senses of an ace archer to make that judgment. There should be countless sharp arrows trained on them from within the walls, and if anyone showed the slightest abnormality, they would face the danger of being attacked by millions of arrows.
Happy also noticed a faint unease and threatening air about the place, but when he saw how relaxed and at ease Huang Rong and the others were, he did not say anything. He just stood at the head of the bridge and waited with them.
Soon, they saw a person appear at the top of the city gate far away. An awe-inspiring voice came from the distance.
”Who are you?!”
”I am Huang Rong of Peach Blossom Island, and beside me are my friends from the Murong Clan, Nangong Clan, Unrequited Love Valley, and Mantuo Villa!”
The person who answered was Huang Rong. Her voice was steady, and her breath was long. Those within a third of a mile could hear her clearly.
”I see, so you're Sect Master Huang of Southern Beggar's Sect.” The tone of the person on the city wall was filled with surprise, but he did not immediately order his people to lower the suspension bridge.
Instead, he spoke again. ”My apologies, Sect Master Huang! The young'uns from the evil cult are very good, and they already sent some spies to figure out the whereabouts of Hero's Mountain Villa! To prevent any fakes from entering, please show your authentication token and state your contact person's name, or else, I will not lower the suspension bridge.”
The expressions of the group of people at the head of the bridge instantly changed.
Madam Wang cried out in surprise. ”We have been so careful, and we still have people from Sky Demon Sect on our tracks?”
Master Nangong, the Murong Clan Lady, Unrequited Love Valley's master, and Huang Rong showed anxiety on their faces as well.
”The secret arts of those from Sky Demon Sect are astonishing. It's not surprising then that they found a way to break through. We shan't delay in this place. We must make haste into the fort,” said Huang Rong.
”Please tell Guo Jing, who should be in the fort, that Huang Rong is here. This is my authentication token.” As she spoke, a small jade slip tore through the air and shot from the surface of the moat to the top of the city.
Silence reigned for a while.
Finally, the sounds of gears moving came from the other side of the wall, and a huge suspension bridge with a shadow that could blot out the sky slowly lowered itself in front of Happy and his group!
