Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Evil Emperor’s fight against Happy was over in an instant, and the victor was decided just as quickly. This news not only caused the Chinese server to be shocked and be in a ruckus, more than one hundred countries in the country were also incredibly surprised.
What caused the people to be in even greater disbelief that when Evil Emperor died, he was actually being hunted by the Chinese imperial court.
Once he died, right after he reappeared in Guanlin Temple, he was locked up in chains and sent to the prison in the ministry of punishment, and his sentence lasted for one week.
Evil Emperor had to be locked up for seven days!
The repeated news caused all of World of Martial Arts to experience endless amounts of shock.
The people who originally thought that the situation in the Chinese server was basically set in stone and that the resistances could no longer cause much of a splash were rendered speechless by this news.
The players from other countries started talking about this matter on the official website, and they began speculating about whether Happy or Evil Emperor was stronger.
For a period of time, word that Happy had already replaced Evil Emperor as the strongest in the world spread out continuously.
The Chinese server burst into a ruckus!
The world, too, burst into commotion.
On this day, many people were shocked repeatedly.
The first was Dream Clouds.
She had originally been prepared to seize the chance of Wind Assault Tower launching their final struggle to crush Phantasmal Shadow’s confidence completely. She did not expect that Evil Emperor would make such a huge mistake and die in Happy’s hands.
If it were not for the fact that she had stationed people to keep an eye at Guanlin Temple and the people from Wild Wolves had quickly verified this information, Dream Clouds would think that a traitor had appeared among her people and had decided to crack a joke at her at such an important moment.
When she learned that Evil Emperor had really died, Dream Clouds nearly killed the NPCs soldiers on the city gate. She stared ahead with a dark gaze while she quickly gave her orders to have all the people from the twelve Beijing sects, Blood Alliance, Assassin Hall, as well as Class One Hall retreat into Beijing.
Once she thought about how Evil Emperor’s death could possibly lead to One Emperor, Phantasmal Shadow, and the other forces of power as well as Chinese heroes fighting back, Dream Clouds even retrieved all the resources in her headquarters. She gave a strict order.
“None of you are to leave Beijing without orders for the next seven days!”
The second person who was shocked was naturally Phantasmal Shadow.
After she learned that Evil Emperor was killed by Happy and Dream Clouds retreated at full force, she repeatedly looked for Wandering Know-it-all, One Emperor, and Happy to verify the truth of the statement before she stopped, ordered her subordinates to retrieve all the people who died and were sent back to Beijing, and more than one hundred thousand people marched in plain sight on the government-made road in a mighty wave before they went south on the river.
The third was the manager of the pay-to-view battle replay system on the official website.
Shortly after Evil Emperor died, the manager quickly logged into the game personally and sent a messenger pigeon to Happy in the game. He said that the battle replay was already created, and they would split the profit by half. Once Happy gave the okay, he would advertise it widely on the homepage. He was openly trying to get wealth by scamming Happy.
[I want eighty percent of the profit. If you agree to it, I’ll sign the contract. I’m really busy right now.]
Happy’s reply to the manager of the pay-to-view battle replay system was very simple and straightforward. Once he sent the news, he no longer paid any attention to it. Instead, he watched One Emperor ride over from the distance.
One Emperor had a rare smile on his usually callous and indifferent face. “You did great.”
Happy smiled. “Same to you. Has Phantasmal Shadow still decided to break out of the encirclement and bring her forces down south?”
One Emperor sighed in resignation. “I know that you want to fight and turn the tides, but our strength won’t allow us to do that. You know it. Even though the number of people we have to force our way out is nearly two hundred thousand some time after you killed Evil Emperor, there are more than sixty percent of them who are not at the peak of their condition. With just a few ten thousand, forget about turning back and fighting against Beijing, it’ll already be pretty good if Class One Hall doesn’t end up gobbling us up whole.”
When he said this, One Emperor cast a glance at the ten thousand or so people who filled up the plains behind Happy densely. He also saw Ji Feng standing beside Happy. He said with a myriad of emotions in his heart. “Looks like you’re prepared to hold a huge campaign.”
“Since Phantasmal Shadow has decided to develop her sect in the south, we can’t not have forces in the north…”
One Emperor was puzzled and stunned when he heard this. “Are you saying…?”
“I’m staying.”
Happy knew that One Emperor was shocked because of his decision. He said with a calm voice, “In seven days, Phantasmal Shadow can use her great foundation of strength to seize a territory in the south, but if no one holds Dream Clouds back in the north, she can send her two hundred or so aces in Beijing down south at any moment, and Phantasmal Shadow won’t be able to last for long. That’s why I’ve decided to stay and do my best in this.”
Once he said that, not only did One Emperor put on a solemn and respectful gaze when he stared at Happy, even the people behind him were shocked. They did not expect that Happy would dare to make such a risky move.
“Evil Emperor will only be locked up for seven days.” One Emperor reminded Happy with a solemn voice. “There are very limited things we can do here in seven days.”
“I know. But as long as I can hold back Class One Hall’s forces and make them be unable to leave Beijing, Phantasmal Shadow can do many things in the south.” Happy’s tone was as calm as usual. “If I stay near Beijing, not only can I hold back the Class One Hall forces in Beijing, I can also make the people near Beijing wary. My plan is simple. We will each lead a team and launch guerilla attacks at them. We’ll make Class One Hall not dare to readily move north or south during the week. Now, it just depends on whether you dare stay here.”
“If you’re not afraid of it when you’re hunted by the imperial court, why should I?” One Emperor smiled and nodded. “I’m on board.”
“Since we’re staying, we’ll make them sink into utter chaos!” Happy smiled and raised his hand.
One Emperor quickly came to an understanding.
Slap!
Right before countless people’s faces, the two shook hands and sealed the deal.
