696 Goryeo, Bright Sword Sect Members (1/2)

”I have some matters I want to discuss with Xu Zhiling today, and I do not want anyone to disturb us.”

It was a voice that allowed no disagreements, and it reached the ears of the people at the riverbank in an incredible stable and loud manner from the river.

Quite a few players were angered by the arrogance in the speaker's voice, and cold expressions appeared on their faces.

'Talk with Xu Zhiling? Doesn't that mean it's related to Eunuch Yang's Warehouse?'

Most of the people ignored the speaker, but there were two rather eye-catching groups who froze. Shock shone in their eyes while they stared at the river. Even though they had already boarded their boats, they did not ask the boatman to start rowing.

”It's him!”

Musical Note and Clear Music would never forget that voice. It was indifferent and clear, and its owner had nearly destroyed all that Towering Palace had built over a year with just a simple decision while he was in Yangzhou City.

If Clear Music had not taken the initiative to abdicate and give up the resource points from ten cities as well a batch of resources to gain a cease fire between the two forces of power, Towering Palace might have already lost the title of a top-class sect.

If someone was to name a sect that was the most cautious about Mu Clan and did not want to enter into any conflict with them, it would definitely be Towering Palace.

Hence, when Musical Note heard Happy's voice, she raised her hand without another word, and all her people immediately stopped moving.

At that moment, Happy was legitimately the strongest player in the game.

Mu Clan was also continuously spreading its influence and increasing its strength so that they could have the title of strongest player sect in World of Martial Arts in their grasp. No player sect in the game could hear their warning as nothing.

Clear Music's eyes shone for a while before she said in slight resignation, ”Let's go back.”

The elders behind her looked at each other at a loss, but no one refuted her.

The people from Class One Hall also gave the order to stop moving.

Even though no one knew who led Class One Hall's group, the people still saw that once they heard Happy's warning, the person walking in front of the group came to a swift halt. He stopped moving for a while before he cast a glance at Towering Palace. Then, the whole group turned around and left the boat.

The two top-class sects were the group's that had the highest chance to obtain something in the quest, so many observant people paid attention to them.

This was especially so for the people from groups that were rather powerful or were from sect alliances!

When they noticed that the groups from the two factions of power left their boats, they were all shocked.

They thought about the warning from the river depth, and many of them instantly broke out in cold sweat.

The one name that could intimidate Towering Palace and Class One Hall was at the tips of their tongues.

At that moment, as if they were suffering from the domino effect, many people stopped moving, and quite a number of boats that had set sail stopped not too far away from the riverbank and watched the progression of events quietly.

The remaining dozen or so boats carried evil cultists and the people from various factions as well as martial artists that rushed to the pleasure boat at the center.

But they were not the first batch to visit the pleasure boat…

*****

Once they entered a certain portion of the plot, the players who appeared as substitutes of the characters in the plot were not betrayed by the system. It would not reveal their true identities to anyone regardless of who they fought.

Once Happy accepted Xu Zhiling's quest, he became Xu Zhiling who guarded the boat.

In less than ten minutes, through the Nine Yang Divine Skill he spread out, he sensed a few people underwater who seemed to be pretty good quietly approaching the pleasure boat.

They were dressed in black wetsuits, and they had practically become one with the water.

Based on the lines of their bodies, they were three men and one woman.

The quartet divided their tasks very clearly. The three men scouted the path ahead while the woman remained behind them.
