777 Ximen Chuixue (1/2)

Once he received the quest from the master of Purple Bamboo Forest, Happy hurriedly left Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction and left Heaven Mountain.

When he came in search for the method to nurture Heaven Crystal Heavenly Lake, he had been prepared for a long, drawn-out battle with the faction leader in the form of a string of quests, and he was even prepared to carry out quests near Heaven Mountain, but he did not expect that the quest from the master of Purple Bamboo Forest would not even be in the area.

What made him feel even more resigned was that the person who stole Sword of Heavenly Lake Plate was a peerless elite Happy would never have imagined. He was even an elite to whom many martial arts maniacs had gone crazy over in the past!

He was a swordsman who symbolized loneliness and noble character!

He always appeared in white.

His clothes were as white as snow, his sword was as white as snow, his side profile was as white as snow, and his loneliness was as white as snow. He was a man who cast himself entirely on the path of the sword, and he was someone who was close to godhood.

Ximen Chuixue!

But based on Happy's understanding of Ximen Chuixue, he was a man who would regard stealing something like Sword of Heavenly Lake Plate with scorn, because this man did not have anything he regarded as important which could form any sort of ties with him in his heart. Everything about him was the sword, and when it came to the moment he killed, most of the time, that moment was equal to the moment he drew his sword, that was all.

But since the clue was Ximen Chuixue, Happy can only search for the plate based on this clue.

Even though this matter might involve other powerful martial artists such as Lu Xiaofeng, Ye Gucheng, and even the palace as well as the elites at the Forbidden Palace, Happy can only keep searching.

Ximen Chuixue.

'I wonder just how fast he is compared to One Emperor…

'And just how profound is Ye Gucheng's Heavenly Flying Immortal?'

While Happy went down the mountain, he was hesitant, but also filled with endless expectations. Excitement could be found in his smile.

Even though there might be plenty of ups and downs during the quest, and it will heavily affect the days he could nurture Heaven Crystal, if he could meet up with Ximen Chuixue, Ye Gucheng, and other peerless elites like them, Happy felt that the trip was worth it.

*****

In Beijing was an alley that was near the corner of the city wall, and few people visited it. There were a few martial arts elites who had extraordinary presences staying there, and they seldom ventured out of the place.

Unfortunately, the courtyard was located deep within the mansion, and there was also a pavilion built, so outsiders had a difficult time looking inside even if they wanted to.

And the people inside never came out. Even if they did, no one ever saw them. They kept an incredibly low profile, and slowly, as time passed, the martial artists in Beijing were used to this, and they no longer found it strange.

But on this day, a person stood outside the alley.

He was a handsome man who stood tall, and he was dressed in a well-balanced brocade robe with black borders, giving him an extraordinary presence. He stared at the door where the sound of swords being drawn came from with a clear gaze, and while he listened to the sounds inside, excitement and delight that came from the bottom of his heart rose in him.

”That's an outstanding sword technique. I should be able to learn something from this trip.”

After listening for a while, the man walked on the stairs and knocked on the door.

The few martial artists who passed by looked at the person curiously, and someone could not help but tell him, ”You should stop knocking 'cause it's useless. The people inside won't come out.”

The man said nothing. He just turned his head around and cast a glance at the person who spoke.

That person also managed to see the man's face clearly because of it. He shuddered, and he could not help but widen his eyes as he stuttered, ”O-One Emperor…”

The players nearby stopped moving. Shock could be seen on their faces.

One Emperor!

”It's really him!”

”Why is he in Beijing?”

”Is it a hidden quest?”

”Is it related to the people inside the courtyard?”

Countless players discussed among themselves, and their eyes were filled with curiosity and expectations toward One Emperor's arrival in this place.
