663 Discovery (2/2)

The others beside him were also outstanding people, but compared to this elder, they were slightly inferior. The only similarity about them was that all of them were very young!

”Sword Sect and the Nangong Clan brought Heaven Crystal to our clan, and it has caught the attention of quite a lot of warriors in China. Aside from some of the old coots in the Nangong Clan, there are also elites from Xicheng Clan and Dongfang Clan who are paying attention to this, even though they're all people who are about to die.

”Hmph! When they heard news about Heaven Crystal, all of them decided to cast aside their dignity and come over to observe. What do they think Heaven Shaker Fortress is?!”

He stopped talking for a moment before he gave a few instructions to the people beside him.

”But those old coots are no simple characters. They'll definitely be thinking about getting involved in the mess! Fortunately, the day Heaven Crystal will be repaired has been brought forward. Chin up, do not let anyone seize the opportunity to enter.”

”Yes, clan elder!”

”Clan elder, are we really handing over Heaven Crystal to Sword Sect and the Nangong Clan?”

The clan elder sighed long and hard before he answered unthinkingly. ”Hmph, of course we are! In the past, the Nangong Clan raised to the top by relying on Heaven Crystal. They managed to reach the peak of the world of martial artists within a short amount of time, but what happened to them in the end?

”If it weren't because of the legendary evil cult disciples fighting them to the point that their family was ruined, the Nangong Clan would not have fallen to their current state. Even though Heaven Crystal is an ancient divine weapon that stands above all other weapons, it's also a disaster. It brings endless catastrophes to all around it, and having it is not a blessing!”

Happy heard this clearly while he was below, and he was stunned.

'What he said is true! That clan elder is quite knowledgeable!'

The clan elder stopped talking for a moment before he continued. ”Heaven Shaker Fortress has seen all kinds of divine weapons over the centuries since it was built. There is no one whose understanding toward divine weapons surpasses that of the mighty northern clan! True divine weapons can only be obtained by matchless warriors who are kind, just, and magnanimous.

”As of now, we do not have such a person in our clan. That's why it's not worth it to destroy the rules we've upheld for generations, ruin our legacy, and bring about the disaster of having our fortress destroyed for Heaven Crystal!”

The clan elder's last sentence was filled with the regret of a missed opportunity.

When Happy heard him, he frowned.

'If that's the case, is the northern clan not actually thinking about fighting for Heaven Crystal?

'What's going on?!

'What the heck?

'Did the four abandoned disciples lie to me, or did a change occur in the quest?'

Happy had a lot of experience from his previous life, and he swiftly noticed the variables. He also quickly seized the existence of two possible ones.

The four abandoned disciples did not have the trust of their sect, and it was not impossible for them to lie, but while he traveled with them on the road, Happy came to understand that the four had a deep-seated hate for Sword Sect, so they should not have lied to him. Besides, Torn Army sacrificed himself to protect him.

If he got rid of this possibility, there was only one other variable.

A change happened in the quest!

Happy quickly remembered some of the words the people had spoken in their conversation, and a faint hint of unease instantly rose in his heart.

It seemed like he had spent too much time in Sword Crafting Hall!
