Chapter 1080 - I’ll Sell You My Life!” (2/2)
She ordered her subordinates while frustration simmered in her. “Send word. When they set out, we attack!”
******
Miles away from the city were Ji Feng and the people from the two sects. All of them had logged in. They numbered nearly twenty thousand people, and the power they gathered together was not to be underestimated.
While there were quite a number of people the twelve Beijing sects stationed here, they were too scattered, and once Happy sent their forces scattering, it was impossible for them to have the courage to gather together in large numbers. They were afraid of catching Happy’s attention, and the group retreated far away. Forget about Happy, they already did not even dare get close to Ji Feng and his group.
This scene had undeniably given Ji Feng and his group the best chance to reorganize his forces.
“Charge! Brothers and sisters, follow Happy! We’ll run away from this place!”
Ji Feng knew very clearly that there was a high possibility that Evil Emperor would show up. When he saw that most of his people had reorganized themselves, he did not wait any longer. He just called out to his people to rush to the direction where Happy was killing and sent out the signal to break out of the encirclement.
Boom!
Nearly twenty thousand people activated their body fortifications, and with loud shouts, they went charging at their enemies in the distance like tidal waves.
On one front were people who were slaughtered so badly by Happy that they could not gather together to form one presentable army, and on the other front were a group of oppressed forces who now gained a chance to survive while they were in despair, and they charged at the enemy forces with the momentum of a tidal wave.
In less than five minutes, the people from the twelve Beijing sects fled like terrified sheep. They showed no intention of continuing to fight.
In less than five minutes, Ji Feng and his group chased them around for several miles like tigers who charged down the mountains for prey.
Many people chased after the people from the twelve Beijing sects with everything they had to vent all the aggrievance and anger they suffered through over the day.
“Damn you!”
“It’s your fault for trying to kill me!”
“Come on!”
“All of you just run faster than dogs, huh?!”
“Fire arrows! All of you, fire arrows! Kill as many as you can!”
The higher ups in the sect where Ji Feng was were especially angry. When they remembered the fact that they had nearly disbanded, their anger reached to the high heavens, and they chased after the people from the twelve Beijing sects with great motivation.
The only person in the crowd who remained calm and did not descend into frenzied killing was Ji Feng.
He knew very clearly that Evil Emperor might appear at any moment. Once he handed over the position of commander to someone beside him, he quickly rushed to the front and closed up the distance between him and Happy.
“Brother! Brother Happy!”
He used nearly ten minutes before he finally caught up to Happy.
“Ah, it’s the famous Hero of Wisdom. Sect Master Ji, do you have any instructions for me?” Happy did not want to miss even a second killing Dream Clouds’ lapdogs. When he noticed Ji Feng approaching him, he continued killing nonstop while he sent a private message over.
Ji Feng readily got down from his horse. “Brother Happy, I’ve made a fool of myself. I personally destroyed my title as Hero of Wisdom more than a year ago. As for my title as sect master, I’m only a sect master in name. It’s better if you just call me Ji Feng. I wouldn’t dare to give you any instructions either?”
“I don’t mind calling you by whatever you want. Did you come to me for something?” Happy did not waste time exchanging pleasantries with him.
When he heard this, Ji Feng’s expression became stern. “Brother Happy, even though the people behind us are no longer members of my sect, we have spent two years together, and they are as close to me as brothers. I hope that you can help me and point them to a path of survival.”
Ji Feng was very sincere, and he also sounded incredibly humble.
Happy just smiled, and he threw a question back instead of answering, “Aren’t I helping you break out right now? Or are you saying that I’m not doing well enough?”
Ji Feng smiled bitterly. “Brother Happy, you might have helped us with this, but you’ve killed a group of elite Wild Wolves some time ago, and Evil Emperor might be chasing after you from behind. The people from the twelve sects might be retreating and not fighting right now, but they might also be waiting for a suitable chance to launch a counterattack. At that time, it’ll still be difficult for us to escape death.”
When Ji Feng was halfway through his speech, Happy knew that Ji Feng had actually not brought disgrace to his former title, Hero of Wisdom.
He had managed to analyze very quickly that Evil Emperor was definitely chasing after Happy at the back. At the very least, Ji Feng was not completely hopeless.
“Evil Emperor is chasing after me, so what’s the point of you begging me for help?” Happy chuckled and sent a private message.
“Brother Happy, I know that all that happened this time is my fault. I didn’t listen to Wandering Know-it-all and Phantasmal Shadow’s warning and privately led a group of people to make a break and leave Beijing. It was a selfish act, but my sect has never had a foundation of strength that was as great as Wind Assault Tower’s. Over the past two days, more than half of my people have left, and if we continued staying in this situation, we won’t even have the capital to break out.
“Wind Assault Tower is at least famous, and she has one hundred thousand people in Beijing. I don’t, and neither does the other sect. That’s why, I’m begging you, my members have not enjoyed much riches over the past two years with me, and now, I’m only hoping that they can leave Beijing safely and flee from Dream Clouds’ clutches…
“I’m begging you, Happy, as long as you can protect my members and help them break out safely, I’ll sell you my life!”
Ji Feng said his last phrase incredibly quickly, and he sounded incredibly agitated and full of anguish. In fact, Happy could sense that those emotions came from the bottom of his heart.
When he heard the last sentence, Happy could not help but have his expression change. He stopped moving for a moment.
“Me too!”
“I’ll sell you my life too!”
Ji Feng was not the only one who chased after Happy. A group of people who originally belonged under Ji Feng heard their sect master’s shouts and pleas, and they became excited. They shouted the same things, and similar shouts rose and fell. They quickly spread through the entire plains.
