Chapter 405: Gather in Mount Huangshan
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was only one day left before the final battle at Light Summit!
Dream Clouds, Barren Murderer, and Blood Robes continued to stay in Beijing.
“It’s about time.” The three monsters gathered together in the main meeting room of the headquarters. They cast a glance at the time, looked at each other, and nodded. They then walked to the field outside the headquarters.
While they moved, they spoke to each other quickly. “Happy’s progress has slowed down; he hasn’t reached Mount Huangshan yet. He should need a day to arrive. If we head out now, we’ll be in time to reach Mount Huangshan.”
“Very good. Mobilize our forces. We’ll head out immediately.” Dream Clouds felt relaxed, and she gave her order without hesitation.

At the same time Mu Clan worked together to fend against Class One Hall’s possible invasion into Baokang, Class One Hall was also fending against Happy’s possible invasion warily.
As a mature and large gaming guild, Class One Hall was even more cautious and careful compared to normal sects. During critical moments, they would advance gradually and carefully. They did not dare to take even a single wrong step, because they could not afford to lose. If they did, they would not just lose the reputation they accumulated, but their prestige and golden title as the strongest. Once they made a mistake, it would be enough for them to fall down from the top of the pyramid.
Even though Class One Hall’s structure placed them at the top of the game, there were still a few thorns in their side, and the very first one of them was Happy!
The moment Barren Murderer died, they gained a whole new understanding toward Happy.
His dazzling and breathtaking sword was something that even Dream Clouds did not have the courage to block. Besides, Happy attacked even more madly than anyone else. When he should attack, he would do so with the force of a thunderbolt, and he would show no mercy.
When he should be calm, he would consider matters more than anyone else. Regardless of whether it was his hand in the development of his clan, his influence toward his clan behind the scenes, his grasp of the development of the game, or his control over fortuitous events, he was much better than anyone else.
Happy had also entered Life and Death Realm much earlier than they expected!
Besides, Happy seemed to have a direct connection to the fall of Vast Martial City’s Black Willow Mountain Manor.
The disappearance of the three Moksha Realm fighters caused the three elites of Class One Hall who possessed ultimate techniques to feel oppressed and threatened by Happy again.
They were also worried that if they moved out, he would appear in Beijing.
Fortunately, Happy seemed to have the intention to avoid trouble, so both parties had some space to breathe.
*****
In less than half an hour, hundreds of Class One Hall members with great equipment and the presence of elites gathered in the field.
“Move out!”
The group tugged at their reins and flipped on their horses.
Blood Robes turned his head around and instructed a group of people standing on the stairs of the headquarters. “Evil Wolf, Monk, I’ll hand over the headquarters to you. Remember that you are not allowed to have anything happen to it. Even if you die, you must last until we return.”
Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows wrapped their fists in their palms at the same time. “Hall master, vice hall masters, do not worry. With us around, nothing will happen. Everyone, please have a safe journey.”
Dream Clouds nodded. Without any hesitation, she tugged at the reins and rushed into the streets with her horse. She was followed by Blood Robes and Barren Murderer.
Soon, all of Beijing boiled with excitement. Everyone knew at that moment that the three monsters of Class One Hall had moved out at the same time to head to Mount Huangshan.
*****
Within a single day, various heroes from all around the world of martial artists gathered in Mount Huangshan. Anyone would be able to see from the distance that the martial artists who gathered there because of the news filled the government-made roads, and the crowd was becoming denser…
When the newcomers were still so far away that they could only see the outline of Mount Huangshan, they found that the area was already crowded!
“There are so many people in the area!”
A man and a woman rode on Hoof Shadows that caused the people in the game to regard them with envy. The two wore Bamboo Hat, but onlookers could see that the man was handsome, while the woman was graceful. Their bearing and temperament were outstanding, and soon, they attracted a lot of gazes from those on the government-made road.
However, there were quite a lot of people who had Hoof Shadows on the government-made road.
Breathtaking and alluring ladies as well as graceful swordsmen arrived all the time.
Occasionally, a group of enthusiastic and arrogant martial artists could be seen tugging at their reins as they held their weapons and left with a roar and astonishing momentum.
“There are plenty of disciples from the six system-allocated sects who will surround and attack Light Summit. There are also plenty of heroes from the game who have come here. This will be an unprecedentedly grand sight. I suspect that we should not head to places with a lot of people later.
“We should be able to find places with few people in front.” Momo turned her head around, and through the white veil obscuring her face, she saw the curve of Happy’s lips under the Bamboo Hat. It puzzled her. “Are you thinking that we shouldn’t head up ahead?”
“Of course not.” Happy smiled and raised his chin to gesture at the vague outline of Mount Huangshan that was covered in the clouds. “If we head forward, we will arrive at the gathering place of the masters from the six great system-allocated sects,” he said firmly. “No outsider is allowed to get close to them. We should go there. There aren’t many people over there.”
“If we are not allowed to get close to the places where the six sects are gathered, what’s the point of us coming over?”
Momo was stunned, but she did not suspect Happy’s words. She put away her Hoof Shadow and activated her lightness skill to rush after Happy. At that moment, moving with their feet would be faster than moving on four legs.
The distance between people on the government-made road was small, which was why quite a number of people heard Happy’s words.
When they saw the man and woman with the outstanding presence head into the crowd with an astonishing speed, they were instantly interested and quickly followed them.
But soon, they realized that the distance between them was constantly widening.
In almost no time, they lost sight of the pair.
But that only made those people even more certain of what they thought. They felt that the man and woman should know something. After all, the gathering place of the six great system-allocated sects was not a secret. Once the players became certain of their direction, they did not give up and continued moving forward.
*****
There was a large, empty, and flat area at the foot of Mount Huangshan.
It was the entrance to Mount Huangshan. If one headed forward any further, they would arrive at the defense line set up by the headquarters of Ming Cult. The six great system-allocated sects had set up camp at that place.
If one looked forward, they would find more than two thousand disciples in different uniforms in the area. The distribution of their camps was very clear because of the way they stood. A group of monks, nuns, Taoists, and swordsmen who seemed to have outstanding statuses stood in a circle at the center of the region. They seemed to be discussing something.
The disciples of the six great system-allocated sects also drew a defense line beyond the empty area. They stood as a wall at the periphery with a group of martial artists who talked incessantly with each other.
Those martial artists were great talents who had come from all over the place. They served as mobs in the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. In truth, they had decent abilities. The veins at their temples could be seen, and the weakest among them was also at Life and Death Realm.
“Stay where you are.” When Happy dragged Momo over to the place he had chosen, he was immediately blocked by a person with a sword. “Boy, don’t be reckless. The area ahead is the place where the teachers of the six great system-allocated sects rest. The six great teachers have already given orders that we will attack Light Summit after four hours. Now, you will all wait at the foot of the mountain.”
The people beside the speaker did not seem to have seen anything. They continued to speak to each other while indifferent to the situation, but at the same time, they watched with cool detachment.
Happy did not stop moving. He bypassed the person and continued heading forward.
The speaker was frustrated. He positioned his longsword horizontally, and with agile movements, he moved in front of Happy.
“Hey, brat, are you deaf?!”
Momo was alarmed. She quickly tugged Happy’s sleeve from behind him. After all, they faced NPCs belonging to the righteous sects.
Happy ignored Momo’s tiny action. He lifted his sword without drawing it out from his sheath and easily parried thelongsword.
“Ack!”
The speaker grew even more frustrated after that. He spun his longsword and instinctively sent a layer of sword light over.
Dragon Capture!
The man’s weapon instantly appeared in Happy’s hands. He drew his Noble Sword and placed it across the speaker’s neck. When he spoke, his tone was cold, “Friend, you are not a disciple of the six sects, and neither am I a disciple of the six sects. I don’t seem to recall having to listen to you—”
“Amitabha! Swordsman, please show mercy.” Before Happy could finish speaking, the crowd suddenly parted. A Shaolin disciple walked over with a smile and with his hands pressed together. “The abbot from my humble sect wishes to invite you forward so that he can talk to you!”
Under the dumbfounded and shocked gazes of the group of players and Momo, who were all behind him, Happy resolutely put his sword back into its sheath. He wrapped his fist in his palm without arrogance or humility and said, “Please lead the way.”
He then led Momo into the camp of the six great system-allocated sects with the Shaolin disciple.
