Chapter 1131: The Sect Master Dies!

Boom!

A loud bang rose.

The layer of ice on Heavenly Lake suddenly shattered and exploded!

Splashes shot up and filled the air above the lake, along with white ice. Loud splashes were heard. Water was mixed with ice shards, and they scattered everywhere. This scene was like an ice waterfall from an immortal’s realm. The water and ice struck what remained of the thick ice layer on the lake, and it looked incredibly magnificent but tragic at the same time.

Silver Wolf and Bar quickly stopped moving.

Even though this happened suddenly, they still saw a black figure flying out of the ice waterfall, crashing when he landed. It seemed that he was the severely injured Sword Sect’s master, who had been fleeing for his life. A few terrifying, bloody holes had been added to his body, and blood gushed out continuously from it. He looked absolutely pathetic.

“Happy!”

Once Sword Sect’s master showed up, he shouted with a fierce expression, “I am the master of Sword Sect, and you are a mere secular disciple of Shaolin Temple. Do you insist on wanting my elders to bring all the heroes in the world to go up to Shaolin Temple to punish you?!”

‘He wants to bring all the heroes in the world to go up to Shaolin Temple to punish Happy?!’

With this charge on their heads, Silver Wolf and Bar, who were about to take action, were instantly stunned. Their actions froze.

Even though they could tell that Sword Sect’s master was already at the last of his breath and was in grave danger, three Sword Sect elites had still escaped. If they truly killed Sword Sect’s master here, it was difficult to say just what would happen. What Sword Sect’s master had just declared might come true as well.

Thud, thud, thud!

The powerful inertia brought by Sword Sect’s master’s fall when he flew out of the ice waterfall and crashed on the ice caused him to create a few holes on the ice before he finally managed to gain his footing.

Boom!

Right after he gained his footing, the ice under his feet suddenly exploded. An even more powerful impact rammed into Sword Sect’s master, causing him to cry out in shock as he was sent flying.

Whoosh!

A black shadow shot out. Happy charged out of an ice hole, chasing him closely. Under Silver Wolf and Bar’s shocked gazes, he grabbed Sword Sect’s master’s throat.

“Just try running again, I dare you!”

At that moment, Sword Sect’s master’s face was pale and completely bloodless.

He had already been heavily injured just now, and he lost quite a lot of primordial qi. While he was at the bottom of the lake, Happy had left behind a few bloody holes on his body, causing him to be further injured, and he could barely stay on his feet. Right now, he was captured by Dragon Capture, and a powerful hidden force rushed into his body. He could no longer endure his wounds. A mouthful of blood was forced out of his throat. His longsword stabbed into the ice with a loud clang, and he struggled to remain standing with great difficulty.

“Aren’t… you afraid… of the heroes of the world…?”

With great difficulty, Sword Sect’s master coughed up blood while he tried to save his own skin for the last time.

But Happy did not intend to let Sword Sect’s master waste his own breath anymore because at that moment, a series of notifications from the system rang in his ears.

“Sword Sect’s elites have already fled Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction. Soon, Sword Sect will obtain the news of Heaven Crystal’s disappearance, and it will spread through the entire world of martial artists!

“Please search for the faction master of Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction as soon as possible so that you can find Heaven Crystal’s whereabouts and clues!

“Your actions of killing a Sword Sect elite and heavily injuring Sword Sect’s master is about to spread out. You will have ten thousand points reduced from your Martial Artist Chivalry Point and ten thousand points added to your Reputation Points! You have been listed as an enemy of Sword Sect! You are now in the bounty list of Sword Sect!

“If you are killed by those in Sword Sect, you will drop more than fifty percent of your items.

“Activated Survive and Counterattacks Quest. At the same time you are hunted by Sword Sect, should you kill any Sword Sect disciples, you will be able to obtain more than fifty percent of the items they possess.

“Sword Sect’s master is currently near death. Activated Evil King’s Acknowledgement Quest. Are you going to kill Sword Sect’s master?

“If you accept the quest and kill Sword Sect’s master, you will immediately gain Evil King’s acknowledgement. You can go to Evil King and obtain a stone plate from the divine monk of Dafo Temple. Then, you can obtain the legacy from it.

“You can choose to reject the quest and spare Sword Sect’s master, but you will not obtain Sword Sect’s forgiveness, and you will still be hunted down. Sword Sect’s master might still summon all the heroes of the world to denounce you.”

The notifications from the system rang nonstop in Happy’s ears.

Happy held Sword Sect’s master’s neck for a total of thirty seconds before he managed to register all the quests.

There were a total of three quests.

The first was the system urging him to take the series of quests related to Heaven Crystal, and he was to search for the missing Heaven Crystal’s whereabouts.

The second was the activation of the revenge quest from Sword Sect. He would enter a contest of strength against all the disciples of Sword Sect, and they would be enemies with each other. But he would not need to pay too much attention to this quest, because there were Sword Sect disciples in Lovely Land, and as of current, there should be no player who would come to challenge him for a quest from their sect.

This was what Happy believed.

What caught Happy’s attention the most was the last system notification.

He had finally activated the quest to obtain Evil King’s acknowledgement!

Crack!

He exerted force in his fingers, and the clear sound of his bones cracking rose, signalling the end of Sword Sect’s master’s consciousness. His voice came to an abrupt halt.

*****

Boom!

*****

At the instant Sword Sect’s master died, a grave system notification spread through the world like a crack of thunder.

“Sword Sect’s master has died in the hands of Shaolin Temple disciple, Happy, and he perished at Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction!

“The sect mourns for the death of their master!

“From now onwards, all the disciples of Sword Sect will not rest until Happy dies. Hunting down Happy has become the most prioritized quest for Sword Sect.

“Happy has killed Sword Sect’s master at Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction, and this has angered the Sword Sect elders who have already decided to stay out of the affairs of the world. Ye Wuxin, the former Sword Sect master, has taken up the position of Sword Sect’s master once more!”

The continuous string of system notifications caused all the players in the Chinese world of martial artists to be shocked and excited. Happy was also dumbfounded, and he had not even had the time to put down Sword Sect’s master’s corpse just yet.

‘Is there a need to act in such a flashy manner?’

He had just killed Sword Sect’s master, and that loud-mouth of a system just had to turn into a megaphone and announce his crime to the entire world of martial artists.

‘This is too much.’

Happy found himself speechless.

He was not worried about being chased down by all the disciples in Sword Sect. What he was worried about right now was that the first sect master in the Chinese world of martial artists had died in his hands, and he happened to a player. Would this bring about different changes…?

Also, the former sect master of Sword Sect would show up to take over. He wondered just how strong was Ye Wuxin, the new Sword Sect’s master.

He smiled wryly in resignation and shook his head. Happy resolutely searched through Sword Sect’s master to get loot.

As expected of Sword Sect’s master, an NPC whose death caused Happy to offend an entire sect. His loot was, at the very least, not so shabby that it caused Happy despair.

Aside from a torn Shirt in Clouds, which was a demon vessel, he had top-class demon vessel equipment suitable for swordsmen, and the sword that was fixed in the ice was also incredibly eye-catching.

It was a high-grade divine weapon!

That one top-class demon vessel and one high-grade divine weapon made Happy feel that the world was slightly fair.

However, later on, he obtained something from Sword Sect’s master’s bosom, and he found it incredibly familiar. In fact, it gave him a sense of cordiality. It surprised him, because it was a martial arts manual.

Ancestral Dragon Sword Technique.

Happy’s eyes lit up, and he quickly thought of the Three Dragons Sword Qi that he copied using Nine Yang Divine Skill in the other world. That skill should be one of the moves in this sword technique…

This was a martial art manual belonging to a powerful martial artist at the later stage of Myth Realm!

Happy quickly noticed that Silver Wolf and Bar were staring at the martial art manual with burning gazes.

And he was nearly unable to suppress the urge to toss the martial art manual into Silver Wolf’s hands!

But when he thought about it, perhaps that would cause Silver Wolf to feel conflicted. If Happy gave him the manual, he would be getting a reward out of the blue, and would be valued out of the blue as well. What would Silver Wolf think?

Happy did not want Silver Wolf to start relying on him for everything from now onward or have a rift form between them because of this.

Fairness!

Based on Silver Wolf’s personality, his greatest wish in joining Lovely Land was perhaps to hope that Happy could treat everyone fairly and give everyone a chance so that Silver Wolf himself could have a chance to stand out in Lovely Land.

Hence, Happy placed all the items into his bag without hesitation. “Looks like I can add a few other rewards during the competition in the sect half a month later.”

“…”

Silver Wolf and Bar could hear this clearly as they stood behind Happy. Excitement shone in their eyes at the same time.

Happy had already caused multiple great players in Song House to go absolutely mad when he offered Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy. Now, he had another sect master’s martial art manual, and it was almost just as attractive as the legacy!

Happy’s words might seem unintentional, but Silver Wolf knew that Happy was stating his stance to them—this was a form of his support to the outstanding new members in Lovely Land.

His act of offering Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy might have just been a gesture and a show to strengthen Lovely Land and to increase his own image.

They were worried that Happy was only using Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy to increase his status in the hearts of the players in the Chinese world of martial artists.

But now, it seemed like he had truly placed the development of Lovely Land at the top spot in his heart.

Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy might be a trick to get the people to join Lovely Land, but if Happy added a sect master’s legacy to the mix, it meant that Happy was giving them more hope.

Besides, even if Happy was still putting up a show, they would be willing to watch him continue putting up his show. In fact, they hoped that Happy would continue putting up the show.

They were willing to see Lovely Land develop in such a manner.

“Sect master, now that Sword Sect’s master is dead, it will definitely cause quite a lot of trouble.” Silver Wolf cast a glance at Happy’s calm attitude even after he killed a sect master, and he quickly recovered from his shock. “What should we do now? Should we continue searching for Heaven Crystal?”

“…We don’t need to be in a hurry.” When Happy heard this, he got up slowly and turned around to stare at Silver Wolf. “Is this your first time fighting against someone at Myth Realm?”

“It’s the first time I fought against someone at the middle stage of Myth Realm.” Silver Wolf was stunned for a moment before he answered honestly.

“How does it feel?”

“Our training method in the past was too conservative.” Silver Wolf voiced their feelings.

“But you still have a hard time fighting against them. As of current, it’s still too early for you to train with those at the middle stage of Myth Realm, since you’re just at Moksha Realm. Your skills and strength are pretty good. You can go to Ghost’s Domain and try training against Demonic Venomous Larvae.”

“Sect master, are you saying that we should stop searching for Heaven Crystal?” Silver Wolf’s eyes sparkled for a moment.

Bar moved a little.

He quickly noticed that Silver Wolf’s words were a little inappropriate.

After all, Happy had only activated the quest for Heaven Crystal after he brought them here. Logically speaking, Silver Wolf should not show any delusions regarding Heaven Crystal.

What surprised Bar was that Happy was not angry because of it.

“Demonic Venomous Larvae is a critical key behind how I managed to reach Inaction Realm swiftly from Moksha Realm. Only my friends from Hunter Clan know about this. Once you reach Inaction Realm, you can look for elites who are below the later stage of Myth Realm without fear. As for the quests related to Heaven Crystal, Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction is very dangerous. You can’t help me, so you should leave.”

“…”

In his surprise, Silver Wolf stared at Happy turning around elegantly, and he sucked in a deep breath. “Understood, sect master.”
