Chapter 596: The Fight for Sky Demon Orders

Song Yuanqiao was sent to Sky Demon Sect in chains.

Happy was certain that he had been secretly moved to Sky Demon Secret Cave instead of the Sky Demon Sect ruins that countless martial artists frequent and bother day after day.

Since Happy had accidentally gathered four Sky Demon Orders together, he could set his plan for the trip to Sky Demon Sect into motion.

He knew that even though with his current power and the number of people he was thinking of bringing, entering Sky Demon Secret Cave would be very dangerous, he did not worry. As long as they did not enter the deepest parts, they could handle the situation with Silver Wolf and the others’ strength.

He really did not want the other factions of power getting there ahead of him.

Learning about the secret of Sky Demon Secret Cave was not just a small achievement. If one of the most precious grade one medicinal pills from there circulated in the market, even if it did not change the situation in the world of martial artists in China, it might change the situation of one faction at the least!

That was why Happy decided to buy Sky Demon Orders at twice the market price once he learned that there was someone buying them. He did not want to miss any chance in increasing Mu Clan’s strength.

Even though Mu Clan was currently so large that countless sects in the game could only feel powerless before them and their resources, equipment, logistics, elites from War Hall, and the supreme number of top-class elites, who could guarantee that their journey would be as smooth as it was now? If they did not continue progressing forward, they would fall. They could not just relax and sit on their throne!

Once Happy contacted Silver Wolf, Wind Chimes, Little North, Momo, and All-powerful Medicinal Stone, he began traveling to Sky Demon Sect. He trusted that Thunderous Battle would locate Song Yuanqiao in due time.

Song Yuanqiao and his group seemed to be moving along the coast. Even though Hoof Shadows were fast, the horse could not reduce the gap of half a day travel because the speed of the ship was the same as that of the Hoof Shadow.

Hence, Happy took a ship, but he did not dare to neglect practicing Nine Yang Divine Skill. He thought about his experiences while fighting against Inaction Realm martial artists and continuously simulated fights against various opponents he ran into in his previous life. While he thought about the clashes of different ultimate techniques, he gained quite a lot.

During that period of time, Happy received some news.

Once Thunderous Battle increased the buying price for Sky Demon Orders, it seemed like quite a number of competitors suddenly jumped out, and everyone began to pay attention to Sky Demon Orders. They increased the price and secretly began to compete against Mu Clan.

But no matter what, Thunderous Battle was a man with ample resources in his hands. When it came to prices, he was not afraid of anyone. In one go, he increased his bidding price to an insane five million taels of silver and forcibly suppressed the competitors who had come out of nowhere.

It allowed him to get dozens of Sky Demon Orders, but Thunderous Battle felt gloomy, because he felt like he had been scammed…

Once he sent the Sky Demon Orders to Happy, he grumbled about how he wanted to figure out who were the people that jacked up the price and caused him to lose more than one hundred million taels of silver.

When Happy learned of that, he only smiled and said nothing.

Since someone wanted to buy dozens of Sky Demon Orders, it meant that they had activated Sky Demon Secret Cave, but they did not gain any benefits from it, and some of their people even died. That was why they jacked up the price when Mu Clan decided to buy Sky Demon Orders and sold all their accumulated Sky Demon Orders in one go.

Even though they managed to get quite a large sum because of it, it was just an unexpected but delightful surprise for Happy’s team.

Sky Demon Secret Cave could only be activated once per day during a certain period of time, but in his previous life, there would only be someone who would manage to get four Sky Demon Orders once every four to five days.

Yet Thunderous Battle had bought more than forty of them in one go. He might have used up a lot of money, but in Happy’s eyes, they earned big in this deal.

He did not say it though. He only ordered Thunderous Battle to continue buying them while he switched to light gear and disguised himself to enter the ruins of Sky Demon Sect.

*****

Ever since Sky Demon Sect was stormed by various sects more than thirty years ago, it vanished from the world of martial artists. However, there were always traces of activities from some of the remnants of the sect.

The people who were active at the ruins of Sky Demon Sect were the apostles and disciples of Sky Demon Sect.

Just as the name suggested, Sky Demon Sect disciples were already part of Sky Demon Sect and could be considered inner sect disciples. The apostles were normal martial artists who adopted Sky Demon Sect’s doctrines after it was destroyed, and they were at Life and Death Realm.

Most of those who lingered outside the ruins of Sky Demon Sect were Sky Demon Sect apostles, and whenever someone approached the area, they would attack without mercy!

But since they carried some money on them, there were many good players who liked training there. After all, they could get money as well as improve their skills.

While Happy walked there, he noticed that most of the spawning spots for Sky Demon Sect apostles were already occupied by parties or people who appeared to be quite good.

Happy was not interested in those mobs. He went straight into Sky Demon Sect!

When he arrived at the entrance, he saw around ten men and women dressed in strange clothes guarding the place. They held various weapons and guarded the entrance with hostile expressions as they swept their gazes across every player who approached the area to warn them not to approach.

Those people seemed to be rather famous in the area. Quite a number of players who approached Sky Demon Sect stopped moving forward and backed down when they saw that one of the men had a Nation Protecting Divine Sword and a blue hero’s bandana around his head. They turned around and left in resentment.

There was a man with a Refined Crimson Snake as thick as a toddler’s arm wrapped around his arm in the team by the entrance, and he started a conversation from extreme boredom.

“What’s going on with the boss? Why did you bring us all here to Sky Demon Sect and lock down the entrance? I don’t even know what’s going on inside. We nearly offended a few powerful people just now…”

One of the girls beside the man cast a disgusted look at the slippery and red thing on his arm. “How would I know? I say, can’t you get it further away from me? Don’t you know that I hate that sort of thing? If you continue flaunting it in front of me, I’m going to cut off your—”

The man said nothing.

A few people beside them smiled and averted their gazes, but one of them suddenly took over the conversation.

“It might be because of the price war for Sky Demon Orders that started just yesterday.”

The person stopped speaking for a moment, and when he saw that everyone’s gazes were trained on him, he was slightly stunned. “What? Haven’t you heard of it?”

“Duh. I’ve heard of Sky Demon Orders, but we don’t usually come over here. Why else would the boss leave us outside? Hurry up and tell us what’s going on.”

“Mu Clan’s Master Thunderous Battle suddenly began buying Sky Demon Orders at the price of two million yesterday, but some great players seemed to have come out and stopped him by engaging him in a price war.

“In the end, Thunderous Battle increased the price to five million in one go, and he didn’t reject anyone who offered him Sky Demon Orders. Boss must have been shocked by this, so he wants to know what’s going on inside.”

“It has to do with Mu Clan?”

“That’s right. Thunderous Battle had never paid any attention to Sky Demon Orders, but he suddenly increased their price, which is a little surprising. Many people are making guesses that Mu Clan might have learned some sort of secret or received a hidden quest. They would not aimlessly buy Sky Demon Orders at such a high price… There should be some sort of major operation from them soon.”

The man with Nation Protecting Divine Sword suddenly frowned and asked, “Isn’t it inappropriate for us to join in this mess when Mu Clan is about to take action?”

That one sentence caused the people in the party to suck in sharp breaths and suddenly think of a certain scenario.

‘He’s right!’

Since Mu Clan could buy Sky Demon Orders in such big bulks, didn’t it mean that they were prepared for their operation in Sky Demon Sect?

As they talked to each other, they suddenly heard a commotion from outside the door…
