Chapter 696: Goryeo, Bright Sword Sect Members

“I have some matters I want to discuss with Xu Zhiling today, and I do not want anyone to disturb us.”

It was a voice that allowed no disagreements, and it reached the ears of the people at the riverbank in an incredible stable and loud manner from the river.

Quite a few players were angered by the arrogance in the speaker’s voice, and cold expressions appeared on their faces.

‘Talk with Xu Zhiling? Doesn’t that mean it’s related to Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse?’

Most of the people ignored the speaker, but there were two rather eye-catching groups who froze. Shock shone in their eyes while they stared at the river. Even though they had already boarded their boats, they did not ask the boatman to start rowing.

“It’s him!”

Musical Note and Clear Music would never forget that voice. It was indifferent and clear, and its owner had nearly destroyed all that Towering Palace had built over a year with just a simple decision while he was in Yangzhou City.

If Clear Music had not taken the initiative to abdicate and give up the resource points from ten cities as well a batch of resources to gain a cease fire between the two forces of power, Towering Palace might have already lost the title of a top-class sect.

If someone was to name a sect that was the most cautious about Mu Clan and did not want to enter into any conflict with them, it would definitely be Towering Palace.

Hence, when Musical Note heard Happy’s voice, she raised her hand without another word, and all her people immediately stopped moving.

At that moment, Happy was legitimately the strongest player in the game.

Mu Clan was also continuously spreading its influence and increasing its strength so that they could have the title of strongest player sect in World of Martial Arts in their grasp. No player sect in the game could hear their warning as nothing.

Clear Music’s eyes shone for a while before she said in slight resignation, “Let’s go back.”

The elders behind her looked at each other at a loss, but no one refuted her.

The people from Class One Hall also gave the order to stop moving.

Even though no one knew who led Class One Hall’s group, the people still saw that once they heard Happy’s warning, the person walking in front of the group came to a swift halt. He stopped moving for a while before he cast a glance at Towering Palace. Then, the whole group turned around and left the boat.

The two top-class sects were the group’s that had the highest chance to obtain something in the quest, so many observant people paid attention to them.

This was especially so for the people from groups that were rather powerful or were from sect alliances!

When they noticed that the groups from the two factions of power left their boats, they were all shocked.

They thought about the warning from the river depth, and many of them instantly broke out in cold sweat.

The one name that could intimidate Towering Palace and Class One Hall was at the tips of their tongues.

At that moment, as if they were suffering from the domino effect, many people stopped moving, and quite a number of boats that had set sail stopped not too far away from the riverbank and watched the progression of events quietly.

The remaining dozen or so boats carried evil cultists and the people from various factions as well as martial artists that rushed to the pleasure boat at the center.

But they were not the first batch to visit the pleasure boat…

*****

Once they entered a certain portion of the plot, the players who appeared as substitutes of the characters in the plot were not betrayed by the system. It would not reveal their true identities to anyone regardless of who they fought.

Once Happy accepted Xu Zhiling’s quest, he became Xu Zhiling who guarded the boat.

In less than ten minutes, through the Nine Yang Divine Skill he spread out, he sensed a few people underwater who seemed to be pretty good quietly approaching the pleasure boat.

They were dressed in black wetsuits, and they had practically become one with the water.

Based on the lines of their bodies, they were three men and one woman.

The quartet divided their tasks very clearly. The three men scouted the path ahead while the woman remained behind them.

Once they quietly approached the boat, they used a body movement that resembled a gecko moving on a wall. They stuck themselves on the boat and did not make a single sound when they climbed up. They were incredibly careful.

Aside from sailors and maidservants, there were around ten Twin Dragons Sect disciples on the pleasure boat. They were all in Moksha Realm, and they stood on the boat as scouts. It was completely impossible for any outsider to get on the boat without alerting anyone.

“Who is it?!”

When one of the men got on the boat, the dripping of water finally alerted a Twin Dragons Sect member. He shouted, and all the people on the pleasure boat moved.

Whoosh!

When the swimmers saw that they were exposed, three figures shot onto the deck and drew bright longswords. They decided to openly attack the Twin Dragons Sect member and fight against them.

Happy got up and was ready to move to the deck when he suddenly stopped and turned to the other side of the boat.

The four were a little interesting.

The three men attracted the guards’ attention on the deck, while the woman swam to the other side where Shi Qingxuan’s bedroom was, and judging by the looks of it, she was pretty good.

Was her goal Shi Qingxuan?

Happy did not intend to let anyone bother Shi Qingxuan. He tapped against the ground and turned into a ghost-like black shadow that drift out the window. Then, he jumped to a high spot on the pleasure boat.

When he looked down, the black shadow that acted like a gecko immediately became wary. The woman attached herself to the side of the boat, and even her breathing as well as presence vanished.

“Huh?”

When Happy noticed the change in her presence, a hint of surprise flashed past his eyes, and he gasped softly. “Nine Great Abyss Arts?”

When he said those words, the black shadow who hid on the side of the boat shuddered slightly.

Whoosh!

The woman gave up on keeping herself hidden, grabbed the side of the boat, and turned in the air with her curvaceous and charming body. She rose dozens of feet before she landed in front of Happy with one knee against the floor.

Happy frowned and asked softly, “Who are you, how did you learn of Fu Juncuo’s Nine Great Abyss Arts?”

“I am Snow Spirit, and I come from Goryeo’s Bright Sword Sect. Sir, are you Young Swordsman Xu Zhiling?”

“Goryeo’s Bright Sword Sect?”

Happy’s thought processes instantly came alive.

Some of the memories from his previous came surging forward like a tidal wave.

Goryeo had produced quite a few extraordinary elites, and all of them came under the tutelage of Bright Sword Sect’s Fu Cailin. One of them, a woman by the name of Snow Spirit, was pretty good. She seemed to have completed a quest in the Chinese server and received a few lessons from Fu Juncao in sword techniques.

Could it be her?

Happy said nothing.

At the same time he recalled all the information about her, he also remembered some of the methods she employed while she was out carrying quests in the Chinese server, and his expression instantly turned darker, but since he had a human skin mask, not a single bit of his emotion could be detected.

Snow Spirit might have looked like an elegant and gentle woman, but she was basically Goryeo’s Dream Clouds. She brought more than ten of her subordinates into the Chinese server, and for the sake of her quest, she continuously sacrificed them while she remained hidden at the back, just like what she did right now. She only appeared in an imposing manner when she was certain that she could kill all of her enemies.

There were a few elites in the Chinese server who were set up and assassinated by her.

If Happy had focused on the people on the deck, he might have already allowed Snow Spirit to complete her quest and leave without a sound.
