When Jade Fox Palace and Blood River Sect’s battle came to an end, Happy received news that Righteous Sect was the one whose battle had ended the fastest, because when they were attacked, their sect master, Wu Qing, coincidentally finished his quest and returned to the headquarters. Towering Palace, who was in charge of it, was slightly inferior to Class One Hall in terms of battle power. And with Righteous Sect’s master fighting and defending it, Towering Palace withdrew resolutely.

Hence, the three fierce battles launched against the local sects ended in a manner that was against everyone’s expectations. Class One Hall was ambushed during the final moment, Cold Moon Palace’s master Lu Mingyue was defeated with one attack, and Wu Qing’s unexpected appearance protected his sect. All three local powers ended up surviving the ordeal.

However, they paid a huge and painful price for it.

There was no need to even mention Jade Fox Palace. Class One Hall had suppressed them through their mighty combat prowess, and they advanced until they reached the foundation. Their sect was almost destroyed, and they had more than eight hundred people who had died.

This meant that one-tenth of Jade Fox Palace members were going to be in a “pseudo healthy state” for a month. Fortunately, only a few elites had died in the battle. With time, they would recover pretty soon.

But Blood River Sect was the most tragic.

Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens had died twice within a short period of time. His status dropped to a normal second-rate player, and the sect also lost quite a number of their elites. Nearly one hundred of them and more than seven hundred normal sect members had died when faced with Cold Moon Palace. Since they did not have as many members as Jade Fox Palace serving as their foundation, their strength plummeted, and they fell off the seat of the third greatest sect in Baokang.

Blood River Sect was in a perilous situation.

If they did not act carefully, the resource points they controlled would be snatched by other sects!

Righteous Sect was the only one who suffered a rather small loss.

But the invasion of the three great sects gave the sects scattered in Baokang a warning. They all saw how they had stomped on the three great local sects’ tails.

The painful lesson did not leave the three great local sects in pain. Instead, they filled up with hysterical anger, which was contrary to how people would usually behave.

On that day, the number of people from the three local sects who logged in shot up!

More than twenty thousand members from the three local sects took control of the four town gates in Baokang County Town. They closely monitored the members of Class One Hall, Towering Palace, and Cold Moon Palace who went to and fro the city.

If there was anyone insensible enough to go out of the town, they would say nothing, but just pick up their weapons as a group and kill that person!

The members from the three sects also appeared in various resource points in the depths of Shennongjia, patrolling the areas in a mighty manner.

Even though Class One Hall, Towering Palace, and Cold Moon Palace had great individual strength, they could not handle such a great number of people. The three local sects had mobilized nearly ten thousand men to kill their people in a frenzy.

The people from the three great sects could only flee!

In less than two hours, the losses Class One Hall, Towering Palace, and Cold Moon Palace suffered rose swiftly! Almost all the players who went out of town were killed, and when they died, they returned to Baokang County Town’s Guanlin Temple.

The three great sects might gnash their teeth in exasperation toward it, but they nnot could respond to the three local sects’ actions nor counterattack. After all, if their plan worked, they were prepared to handle the other local sects’ crazed revenge. However, they did not expect that such an unexpected and shocking change would happen to their plan and they would lose in such a miserable manner.

Once the three people in charge met each other, they found that neither of them had expected that Jade Fox Palace, Righteous Sect, and Blood River Sect’s revenge would come so soon and arrive so fiercely. It was so fast that they did not have time to make any preparations for retreat.

*****

One hour later, the forces from the three great sects quietly appeared at the town gate to the north.

With the protection of Lu Mingyue, Evil Wolf, Monk with Thick Eyebrows, and various top-class elites, more than two thousand people broke through the lockdown formed by the three local sects. They jumped up their horses and left in a cloud of dust.

When the three sect masters received news of it, theys did not send anyone to chase after them. They only watched the people leave until they were thirty-one miles away, then turned away.

Absolute Nonsense and the others knew that the three great sects were forced to break through. If they did not want to be trapped in Baokang for all time, breaking out was the only thing they could do!

Even though they could not settle the blood debt once the three great sects left and could not continue with their revenge, it still meant that the three great sects had been completely defeated, and they had completely retreated from the stage of competing for Baokang and Shennongjia’s resources.

*****

In a small town that was thirty-one miles away from Baokang were people from Class One Hall, Towering Palace, and Cold Moon Palace. They finally slowed down there and chose to rest for a while.

“Palace Master Lu, you’re the only one who has fought against Happy face to face. What level do you think he has reached?”

The person who spoke was the one in charge of Towering Palace’s people. He was the only one who had not met Happy face to face before, and at that moment, he no longer chewed on a green foxtail. When he spoke, his expression was solemn and stern. The failure in the operation forced him to reevaluate his strength, along with the disparity in strength between Towering Palace compared to the other great sects.

Lu Mingyue sat by a table alone.

When he heard the question, he snorted softly. “If it weren’t for the fact that I had spent too much qi earlier, there’s no way Happy would have been able to gain the upper hand against me. But there’s no need to doubt that Happy has an ultimate technique. It’ll be very difficult to defeat him!”

“An ultimate technique?!”

Everyone’s hearts froze. They were incredibly shocked.

“Whose legacy did he inherit?”

Monk with Thick Eyebrows and Evil Wolf were stunned for a moment before looking over with interest.

“I don’t know the details about that.”

Lu Mingyue closed his eyes with an arrogant look on his face. He appeared to not want to think deeply about the question.

The young man from Towering Palace remembered something at that moment. “One of Towering Palace’s Dharma protectors, Shangguan Lian, mentioned something like that to us before. He said that Happy might be practicing an ultimate technique.”

When he finished speaking, the people around him turned their faces toward him, including Lu Mingyue. His expression was attentive.

“Oh?”

“Even though it’s just a guess, the possibility is very high. Remember the battle at Mount Song of Shaolin Temple? Happy was also there back then.”

“Of course we remember that.”

A hind of anger appeared on Evil Wolf and Monk with Thick Eyebrows’ faces.

The first failure Class One Hall had suffered was at Mount Song. They were embarrassed by Happy, but they never found the chance to take revenge.

The young man shook his head. “I’m not talking about that time he was at Punishment Mount. I’m talking about the time before he went to Punishment Mount. Happy once stayed a very long time in a broken temple. Do you remember that there was a master in that broken temple? There was also a very powerful and eminent Buddhist monk who guarded that place.”

The group’s eyes lit up. They understood what he said.

“Are you saying?”

“That’s right. The eminent Buddhist monk’s qi realm was definitely not below Moksha Realm. His Lion’s Roar could kill hundreds with just one shout. With that sort of power, perhaps even Nine-tailed Fox wouldn’t be able to win against him.

“At that time, Dharma Protector Shangguan thought that there was something really strange about the eminent Buddhist monk’s disappearance. Then, he pondered over it, and he came to the conclusion that with such a powerful elite serving as garrison, there had to be a very powerful hidden quest inside…”

“Are you saying that Happy received the legacy of an eminent monk in the broken temple?”

“That’s right!” The young man nodded seriously with a stern face.

“Dharma Protector Shangguan once said that Happy did not use that skill to force him to retreat when he fought against him. This means that even without that ultimate technique, his abilities are still very terrifying.”

The group nodded.

At that moment, a tall and built man with a straight back and an incomplete silver mask covering half of his face suddenly walked out from the crowd who had been watching them from a distance. He arrived in front of the group with steady footsteps, and he said one sentence that no one expected, “Fight against me, Lu Mingyue!”
