Chapter 1158 - Empress Yin Egresses (1/2)

“How lively.”

“Haha! I didn’t expect that Hu Baiwan, the richest merchant in the world and the Murong Clan would be here. Faction Master Yuyan, it seems like we were right to come on this trip. The rumors of the desert palace are probably real!”

An elegant and mighty voice filled with an intimidating, demonic strength traveled from outside. In an instant, the atmosphere in the inn, which was firmly in control of Hu Baiwan’s forces and the Murong Clan, changed.

Whoosh!

Everyone cast their gazes to the entrance.

Even Hu Baiwan and the white-clad young man were a little distracted by the sudden sound. They looked over in shock.

Right before their eyes, they saw a pair of middle-aged men and women with extraordinary grace walk through the door in great pride. Their footsteps were relaxed, and they gave off an air of arrogance that would make others feel ashamed in their presence. They moved through the crowd as if the inn was uninhabited and arrived at the center to stand among the people.

“Evil King…”

“Empress Yin!”

The people around them all let out surprised gasps.

They had just been shocked by Happy working together with the Murong Clan and felt that the fight in Dragon Gate Inn was over, but at this critical moment, these two demons who ruled over the Chinese plains appeared, and everyone in the hall was surprised.

“So, it’s the both of you…”

Hu Baiwan’s expression was incredibly dark. He had just lost a major fighter of his, and he no longer had the right to compete against Evil King in the desert palace. He had to take the initiative to greet him.

More martial artists from the Chinese plains had arrived. Now, Hu Baiwan was even more certain that he should leave this place. Even though he had been planning to go to the desert palace for a long time, things had already progressed to this stage, and he was already powerless in getting the treasures in there.

“Alright, I’ll promise you.” Hu Baiwan looked at Happy and nodded to agree to his request. Then, he turned to Osaya and gave her a profound look.

In the next moment, Happy obtained a system notification. “Before the Desert Palace Quest ends, Osaya will temporarily serve as your follower. She will try her best to fulfill your requests.”

At that moment, Happy had already stopped sizing up Evil King and Empress Yin.

He had been greatly surprised by their arrival. and when he saw them, his pupils shrank slightly.

As usual, Evil King was strong and mysterious, but Empress Yin…

Happy noticed that the qi that enveloped Empress Yin’s body had become bizarre and difficult to comprehend. Her entire body looked as if it was enveloped in a hazy, black fog. It was incredibly enchanting and enigmatic. The familiar presence of the dao of heaven had also appeared on her.

When he sensed this, Happy instantly remembered Wan Wan telling him that Empress Yin had been in isolated training when he received the second stone plate and before he left the Chinese plains.

Once he recalled this, Happy could not help but suck in a sharp breath. He began wondering about his next move.

Empress Yin had indeed gone into isolated training and entered the dao of heaven.

Right now, Evil King and Empress Yin had truly stepped into the dao of heaven.

If he had let Osaya slip from his grasp because of his desire for temporary gain and took the three martial art techniques that were also ultimate techniques, his quest might become even more difficult than before.

Evil King alone was already difficult enough to deal with. Now, with Empress Yin, who had also become One with the World, Happy would not stand a chance alone.

Fortunately, Happy had not been blinded by temporary impulse when he was faced with great temptation. He had also not overlooked the essence of the quest because of all that was offered to him.

This quest might have been offered to everyone in the Chinese plains, but Happy did not forget that he was the person who would be carrying out the quest.

He had to prioritize the quest!

If he forgot about the dangers and fortuitous chances in the desert palace because of some of the small gains during the quest, that would just be sad.

Right now, the desert palace had not been activated, and three people at the dao of heaven had already arrived. There was also the Master of Gu Poison, who was really only at the threshold of entering the dao of heaven, and more than one hundred Myth Realm elites.

When he thought of this, Happy suddenly had a clearer understanding of the difficulty of a quest held at a forbidden land, and just how much danger was contained in it.

“Let’s go!”

Once he completed the trade, Hu Baiwan unhesitatingly led his people to leave Dragon Gate Inn.

When the group passed by Evil King and Empress Yin, Hu Baiwan intentionally stopped moving and wrapped his fist in his palm. “Goodbye.”

“Oh?”

Evil King and Empress Yin had just arrived at Dragon Gate Inn, and they did not understand what was going on. But they knew about Hu Baiwan’s abilities in West Region and the Chinese plains, along with the large information network he had hidden in secret. When they saw the injured people among Hu Baiwan’s people, Evil King quirked an eyebrow and subconsciously cast a glance at the messy inn and the shattered chairs and tables all over the inn. “Brother Hu, where are you going?”

“I regret to say this, but I am not as skillful as they are. I would be ashamed to continue staying here. Evil King, Empress Yin, if you have the time to come to West Region to be my guest, I will definitely clean up my place and wait for you.”

Hu Baiwan sighed again and saluted the two Chinese elites who had an astonishing presence. He passed by Evil King and Empress Yin in a wary manner and left Dragon Gate Inn.

Evil King and Empress Yin were shocked by how pathetic Hu Baiwan looked, especially when they saw that the Master of Gu Poison was injured heavily and had to be supported when he left. They frowned even further and redirected their gazes to look over the inn. Soon, their eyes fell on the white-clad young man not too far away from them, along with the charming Osaya.

Evil King quickly understood that Hu Baiwan’s departure should be related to these two people. As for the Murong Clan elites behind them? Evil King chose to ignore them.

“Both of you look quite familiar.”
