725 Red Dust Shows His Migh (1/2)
Jinjiu and Yinshi might be good, but compared to Fire Qilin, they were still much more inferior. If it were not because Fire Qilin's wisdom could not compare to a human's, it might have long since killed the two men.
But that meant that it made things easy for Happy.
The extremely hot and extremely cold caves could stop countless martial artists, but Happy, who had mastered Nine Yang Divine Skill, could move about with ease.
Once he killed Yinshi, Happy shifted his attention to Jinjiu.
The situation was much better than he thought!
Yinshi's death pushed Jinjiu into a crazed state, and he looked like a raving lunatic. He wanted to immediately catch Happy and devour him whole.
But the fight against Fire Qilin had compromised his abilities. When he entered the cold cave, they were suppressed even more, and he soon fell into Happy's trap.
Time passed second by second.
*****
While Happy was immersed in Sky Demon Secret Cave, the mysterious masked man in black who had appeared briefly in Yangzhou showed up once more!
He went first to Chivalry Sect's Red Dust, Sweeper Monk's direct successor.
What left the people in the game utterly dumbfounded was that the mysterious man in black who had easily defeated various elites from Class One Hall and Towering Palace actually lost to Red Dust when they fought.
The players who originally held endless expectations for the mysterious man in black were all stunned.
Ever since causing a ruckus at Wind and Rain Alliance, Red Dust had lain low and now shown himself in front of anyone, but with Shaolin Temple's Demon Subduing Staff and One-fingered Zen, he struck down the man in black after he had swept through the south and north of Changjiang.
Not only were the martial artists in the game unable to accept this, but most of the other player sects who believed Chivalry Sect to be the weakest among the four top-class sects were no different. They suddenly sensed a power explode from Chivalry Sect after they lay low for a long time.
The top-class elites from Chivalry Sect had never fallen behind the other top-class elites.

”Red Dust… Those people from Chivalry Sect sure hid their strength very deeply!”
The sound of porcelain breaking could be heard in Class One Hall's headquarters. Dream Clouds, who had a noble temperament, would have shocked everyone if they had been present there. Her expression was sour, and her chest heaved. Her palms were pushed violently against a burnt tea table; she had lost her usual calm and dignified mannerisms.
Blood Robes stood quietly next to her.
Aside from a faint hint of surprise and bewilderment on his face, he was blank, but he could understand Dream Clouds' violent reaction.
The competition in the Chinese world of martial arts was far too fierce.
Class One Hall was first suppressed by Chivalry Sect, and once they were distracted, Happy popped up as the top on Famous People Rank, and along with him came Mu Clan, which rapidly rose to power.
Once Mu Clan became stronger, Class One Hall's grand ambition of conquering the entire Chinese server shrank to only the northern corner of the Chinese plains.
One quarter of the territory was enough for Class One Hall to accept it and to quietly cultivate their strength.
But Towering Palace had quickly become stronger because of the resources in the coastal area and their cooperation with foreign forces of power. Their fame rose and pushed Class One Hall from the spot as the second strongest among the four strongest sects to the third spot, though it had never been publicly announced.
If it were not because of mistakes caused by various coincidences leading to Class One Hall cooperating with Three Dragons Guild and Happy personally going forward to suppress Towering Palace and completely destroying their prestige in the coastal area, Towering Palace might have already secured their place above Class One Hall. It would have made the rumor that Class One Hall was the third strongest sect in the game a fact.
Being third meant that they were already at the back among the four top-class sects.
