657 Calm… (2/2)

Besides, a few sword users with dazzling skills had appeared in Goryeo recently. It was said that they were from Bright Sword Sect and had already entered the Chinese server through the plot of Twin of Brothers.

Along with the people who were skilled at fleeing arts and had long since entered the Chinese server, as well as Abu and the others, who were boxing masters from the southwestern countries, the multitude of great players in the Chinese server gradually began to regard the foreign players with higher value.

*****

The readjustment in Wind and Rain Alliance, the changing of palace masters in Towering Palace, along with the abnormal calm as well as well-behaved attitude from Class One Hall allowed all martial artists to tell that Mu Clan and Happy's actions had had an effect. Not only had they placated the instability in the south, Towering Palace had also chosen to compromise to the largest extent!

This sort of thing caused Mu Clan and Happy's prestige to increase by another degree! The Chinese martial artists as well as foreign experts also gained more of an insight toward them.

The world of martial artists returned to peace once more.

But storms still brewed under the surface!

One Emperor, who had gained an epiphany of his sixth sword at the arena during the martial arts tournament in Hero's Mountain Villa, had vanished without a trace once he obtained second place in the tournament. He did not show up again in the world of martial artists.

No one knew where he went.

But there were countless martial artists who made guesses and said that he was perturbed by the fact that he did not obtain the title of strongest in the world during the tournament because he did not manage to win against Ling Huchong at Dragon Tiger Arena and disappeared to pour his heart and soul into understanding his seventh slash. There were even rumors that he was practicing an even more powerful martial art to prepare for the fight at the summit of Mount Tai.

However, even if One Emperor's strength did not grow, the last dazzling sword slash he delivered at Dragon Tiger Arena had heavily injured Ling Huchong, which was enough to make countless martial artists look forward to the day he would reappear!

The fight at the summit of Mount Tai would show just who was truly the strongest in the Chinese server and the world!

As time passed, everyone began to look forward to Happy and One Emperor's eventual duel at the summit of Mount Tai. In fact, there were many people who came to wait beforehand at Mount Tai. They sacrificed their time to practice in order to witness the duel between the two strongest players in the Chinese server!

When there were only three more days left before the final fight, the restaurant at the foot of Mount Tai was filled with people. The cities and sects nearby were also full of martial artists. Only a sea of people could be seen in the area.

*****

But the people did not know that while they were waiting in the area, Happy had been attracted by an unexpected system notification to the mighty clan in the north dozens of miles away.

It was one of the eight aristocratic families! They were a mighty clan that relied on crafting excellent weapons to intimidate the world of martial artists, and they were the best at it! They were rich, had plenty of elites, and connections all over the world. Money and power were in their hands, and it was, frankly, astonishing to behold.

Unfortunately for Happy, while he was giving his all in preparing for the fight at Mount Tai, he received a messenger pigeon from the four abandoned disciples of Sword Sect saying that the repairs for Heaven Crystal were near the end!

And the situation was very delicate…

Even though the Nangong Clan was determined to retrieve their previous clan master's sword and seize Heaven Crystal to rebuild Nangong Clan's prestige, the sect master of Sword Sect had also gone through a lot of trouble to secure Heaven Crystal. He personally served as a garrison with a group of elders at the mighty clan in the north to monitor the Sword Creation Lake used to repair Heaven Crystal, and he never let down his guard for even a second.

The strangest thing about this was that during the process of repairing Heaven Crystal, most of the elites of the mighty clan in the north were relocated to the area nearby, as if they sensed the quality and strength from the profound mysteries contained within Heaven Crystal and had grown to desire it.

The three factions of power held their breaths and accumulated their strength while they harbored their own thoughts and waited for the final moment when Heaven Crystal would be completely repaired!
