615 Qilin Shows Its Tracks (1/2)
Silver Wolf was right.
Even though Happy's anxiety toward One Emperor's eventual fight had gradually faded away once he received Joined Finger and Nine Yang Divine Skill, whenever he thought of One Emperor's sword skills, which could make even ghosts and deities flee, a heavy weight would settle in his heart!
He was wondering whether he wanted to create another elite for Mu Clan or help cultivate a powerful player who could stand on his own in a fight when Silver Wolf's words reminded him of something.
He had not actually fought against One Emperor yet…
And he could not fall!
He could not lose that fight!
No matter how many elites he had in Mu Clan, their names were not as effective as Gusu's Blue-robed Hero and the top of Famous People Rank. As of then, the core of Mu Clan had not changed.
He had to become even stronger!
”Let me have this manual. Add up the value of the other items and distribute the contribution points among yourselves.”
Happy put the manual into his bag and did not take an extra glance at the other loot. He then turned around and saw All-powerful Medicinal Stone, who came out of the palace, along with Song Yuanqiao and the others. They looked tired and their bodies did not seem to be in very good condition.
”Great Hero Song!”
”Young Swordsman Happy, it's you!” Song Yuanqiao's eyes lit up. He was incredibly shocked by Happy's appearance, and he cast a glance at the corpses of the evil cult disciples and the elders. ”You saved us?”
”That's right.” All-powerful Medicinal Stone answered. ”Happy thought that something was amiss and learned that you were betrayed by Chen Youliang. When he found out that you were secretly transferred to Sky Demon Sect, he brought us here to provide backup.”
”This is Sky Demon Sect? There has been a rumor in the world of martial artists that Sky Demon Sect has not been destroyed, but I didn't think it was true!”
Song Yuanqiao was shocked again, but he just smiled wanly and wrapped his fist in his palm. ”How regretful. I have caused you trouble, Young Swordsman Happy.”
The other people came up to thank him as well. ”Thank you for saving us, Young Swordsman Happy!”
”Gusu's Blue-robed Hero, you live up to your name.”
”In the future, I will personally go to the Murong Clan to pay them a visit.”
Happy did not dare to treat them inappropriately. He supported Song Yuanqiao and said, ”Everyone, you're too polite. Since we walk down the path of chivalry, when we see an injustice, it is only logical for us to draw our weapons and help. If you run into such things, you will surely not stand by and watch either.”
”If every wanderer behaved like you, why would we worry that the evil sect could not be destroyed and that the righteous path would die away?” Song Yuanqiao had become slightly more energetic while feeling incredibly sentimental.
”True!” The disciples of Ming Cult and Wudang Sect behind him agreed.
Happy did not dare stay around for too long. He placed his fist in his palm and appeased the people's emotions. ”We haven't gotten ourselves out of danger yet. It's better if we quickly move and leave this place before talking about anything else.”
”But our qi hasn't recovered yet… We'll need to meditate and exercise our breathing for a while, or else, we might turn into a burden.” Song Yuanqiao's words caused the rest of the people to be stunned.
Happy looked at All-powerful Medicinal Stone. ”Didn't you say you found a tunnel leading to the outside world?”
All-powerful Medicinal Stone had an awkward expression on his face. ”There WAS a tunnel, but when the great elder was killed, an evil cult disciple destroyed it...”
Happy said nothing. He sucked in a deep breath.
'As expected, the plot returned to that of my previous life.
'If I didn't kill the evil cult great elder, perhaps I could fight against him while I escorted Song Yuanqiao and the others out of Sky Demon Secret Cave through the tunnel, but now, once the great elder died, the quest changed…'
He thought about it for a moment, then quickly said, ”How about this? Since Great Hero Song and the others need to rest and meditate for a while, Big Brother Medicinal Stone, Silver Wolf, Little North, and Wind Chimes, the four of you will be in charge of taking care of them.”
”Hmm?” Silver Wolf was slightly surprised. ”Where are you going?”
He could tell that Happy had other plans for himself.
”I'm going to search for an exit… The path we took when we came here is already sealed, but there's definitely another one! The evil cult disciples here should have all been killed, so it should be very safe. If the four of you are here to protect Great Hero Song and the rest, even if another great elder pops up, he won't be able to do anything to you.”
