Chapter 1145 - First Follower! (1/2)

Thousand-faced Human Fox reached a spot that was nearby when the Sword Sect elites surrounded the cave. He used Turtle Breathing and hid himself in the shadows of a bush while he remained still. He saw the entire process of Jian Ao being suppressed.

Even though he appeared calm, Thousand-faced Human Fox’s heart was raging nonstop like a sea during a storm. He could not calm down even after a long time had passed.

The former Sword Sect’s master, Jian Ao, was one of the best martial artists in the world of martial artists, and he was also an elite walking down the dao of heaven. If it came to one-to-one fights, he might not even lose to Evil King.

In the beginning, Thousand-faced Human Fox was worried that he would vent his anger on him once he dealt with Happy, but when he saw the scene before his eyes, Thousand-faced Human Fox no longer knew how to express the shock in his heart.

Sword Sect had used dozens of elites to form a formation, but they could not stop Happy in his footsteps, and neither were they able to stop Happy’s powerful momentum when he suppressed Jian Ao.

Happy was just a young, normal, but talented Shaolin Temple disciple who was at Inaction Realm.

Right now, Thousand-faced Human Fox had already forgotten that he had actually come here to send a private message to Happy to offer him to work together to break out of the encirclement.

Judging by what he saw, there was already no need for them to break out of the encirclement.

Sword Sect’s sword formation was not that much sturdier than a piece of tofu before Happy. There was not even a need to mention Jian Ao, he was forced to retreat since the beginning of the fight. If no Sword Sect elites had cast aside their lives to save him, Jian Ao would have already been severely injured and killed. Forget about continuing with the fight, even his confidence in staying had been buried. He fled without a trace, leaving behind dozens of Sword Sect elites’s corpses and a group of sect members fleeing helter-skelter.

Once Jian Ao left in a pathetic fashion, the Sword Sect elites left the island one after another like birds and wild beasts fleeing. The forest returned to silence once more.

Thousand-faced Human Fox laid on the ground without moving.

At that moment, he knew that the most dangerous moment had already passed. All he had to wait for now was Happy leaving with Heaven Crystal after he obtained complete victory.

What he did not expect was that faint and slow footsteps would travel into his ears, and the sound was getting closer.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Even though he was using Turtle Breathing, Thousand-faced Human Fox could still feel his heartbeat racing. He became increasingly nervous.

“How long are you going to lay there?”

The footsteps stopped for half a minute before Happy’s derisive voice rose in his ears.

Thousand-faced Human Fox’s heart shuddered, but he did not stand up immediately.

“Do you want me to bring you out myself?” Right when he said those words, a faint sword will swept toward the spot where Thousand-faced Human Fox hid.

“Don’t!”

Thousand-faced Human Fox shot out of the bush like a rabbit.

Happy had been paying attention to Thousand-faced Human Fox all this while. Right when he moved, Happy immediately shot forward to block him and shut down his escape path.

Thousand-faced Human Fox cried out, “Sect Master Happy, we’ve never formed any grudges between us, and we never caused any resentment between each other recently.”

The strength Happy displayed just now had shocked him. Besides, he currently did not have any bargaining chip that he could use to bargain with Happy. There was no way he would dare to talk to Happy as he previously did.

“When you left Sword of Heavenly Lake Factio, did you steal an important item from the faction?”

Thousand-faced Human Fox’s eyes lit up. Then, in a very cunning manner, he looked away.

Happy could immediately tell that he was thinking about bargaining again, and he did not give him the chance to build his confidence. He stared into his eyes and said indifferently, “You don’t have to feel troubled. I have Heaven Crystal with me, and even if I don’t have the treasure from Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction, it doesn’t matter to me.”

As he spoke, he swung Heaven Crystal while it was still exuding that bone-chilling cold.

“Don’t! It’s this one!”

Thousand-faced Human Fox’s lips twitched. He stared at the sharp tip of the sword and was nearly scared out of his wits. Then, as if he was performing magic, an item that Happy was familiar with appeared on his palm.

The faction master plate for Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction?

Happy narrowed his eyes. He cast Thousand-faced Human Fox a glance in surprise.

He was naturally familiar with this item. In the past, the faction master gave him the item when he was in Gusu City, but it was a fake.

But because of that quest, Happy obtained the real token for Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction, which was the faction master plate. With his photographic memory, he could naturally tell whether the item Thousand-faced Human Fox held was real.

But what caused Happy to be puzzled was that the faction master plate was an item Qing Xue kept by her side. How did Thousand-faced Human Fox obtain it?

Immediately, Happy’s view of Thousand-faced Human Fox’s abilities increased exponentially.

However, Thousand-faced Human Fox did not know this. He was currently feeling very uneasy, worried that Happy would break his promise and kill him after he obtained the item. He stared at Happy with a terrified look while he curried favor with him.

“While I was serving as a spy in Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction, I saw the faction master take this plate out when she was alone. Since the material used for this item is very unique, I thought that it was definitely something good, so I stole it. If you like it, you can take it, Sect Master Happy.”

Happy did not hold back and took it. He sensed the warmth and the familiar touch from the faction master plate. He cast Thousand-faced Human Fox an indifferent glance.

“Is that all?”

But when Thousand-faced Human Fox heard his cool tone, his mind interpreted the words, and they were not as calm as they were meant to be. He thought that Happy was not pleased, and he was terrified. He quickly answered, “That’s all. Even if I lie to others, I wouldn’t dare lie to you, Sect Master Happy…”

‘Ha, he sure is skilled in brown nosing.’

While Happy giggled in his heart, he refused to show mercy to Thousand-faced Human Fox and said, “Oh? Didn’t you say that you were Chu Liuxiang before this?”
