Sword Among Us Chapter 1085 - A Different Dafo Temple

Chapter 1085: A Different Dafo Temple

In the world three years ago, before the charm of the wedding of the century vanished, the four top-cla.s.s sects worked together and gathered a few hundred thousand people to march en ma.s.se to West Region. This act quickly caused the entire Chinese server to be shaken, and they paid attention to the event.

Even though Cla.s.s One Hall’s actions during the wedding of the century were the same as provoking Clan Master Happy, many people were still surprised by how quickly the four top-cla.s.s sects made arrangements and took action. They sucked in sharp breaths, and during that time, groups of people went forth in mighty waves from all parts of the land to gather the borders of Cla.s.s One Hall.

For the next few days, someone would continuously reveal the newest number of people the four top-cla.s.s sects had sent to the front online.

In the beginning, there were only nearly one hundred thousand people who were sent.

Then, a generally steady stream of people gathered together to fight against Cla.s.s One Hall. Mu Clan alone mobilized more than two hundred people from the branches all over the Chinese server, and they were led personally by Silver Wolf, Little North, Momo, Rampaging Dragon, Responsible Hero and the other people in charge in different regions. They stopped at Chives City, which was the closest to West Region.

Then, one hundred and fifty thousand people from Chivalry Sect came one after another.

Wind a.s.sault Tower sent one hundred thousand people, and Wind and Rain Alliance mobilized nearly one hundred thousand people as well. The people who were close to Mu Clan and had offered their a.s.sistance during the wedding of the century also sent more than two hundred thousand people. They had an army of more than eight hundred thousand people. It caused the city near West Region, which had a low population and did not have any unique characteristics over there, to become incredibly packed. The unprecedented, imposing presence they exuded caused the sects in the cities to fall silent, and they avoided them like the plague. They did not dare to get involved in the gossip between the sects or ruin the fight between these two giants. They also warned those who loved causing trouble and even kept them under close watch, worried that they would cause trouble and bring upon them the disaster of having their sect destroyed.

This operation could be considered to have the greatest number of people mobilized from various parts of the Chinese server since the start of the game.

Not only was this the largest conflict caused by players, it was also the most eye-catching one.

When the western countries saw the battle replays that were continuously posted online, many people could not believe how a few sects could gather together a number of players that was practically the number of people in a few states combined.

The black ma.s.s of people on the plains caused the people to think of war.

Even though not a single cry for murder rang in the air, the gloomy air caused the atmosphere of hostility to spread through West Region.

*****

Cla.s.s One Hall had placed guards numbering less than one hundred and fifty thousand people in a border city to the east of West Region. It was as frail as a frail wall made of paper when it faced an enemy that was five times its size and came at them with the might of a wave.

When war was about to break out, the person who started it appeared three hundred miles away from Dafo Temple.

Young Yu Yan naturally came with Happy. After all, she had just been coined the moniker of the clan lady of Mu Clan.

When the two people arrived at Dafo Temple, they stopped outside the cl.u.s.ter of Buddha statues.

Young Yu Yan was dressed in martial attire. She looked inside warily before she turned around and said, “Ever since Evil King came over from Dafo Temple, this place was very popular for a period of time. Many people tested their luck and tried to get Evil King’s legacy, but none of them succeeded. Instead, they just lost their lives.”

She stopped talking for a while before she said in the face of Happy’s confident smile. “Over the past few days, I’ve completed quite a number of key quests for you. It depends on you now.”

“Are you asking for a reward, my dear wife?”

“…I can’t be bothered with you. I’ll wait for you by the side… Ack!” Before she managed to finish speaking, Happy hugged her.

Young Yu Yan was the clan lady for Mu Clan, and over the past few months, she had been training hard in the clan prison. Happy had also given her special favor by guiding her, allowing her to improve by a large degree. Her strength could compare to Silver Wolf now. She cried out in surprise before she twisted away and got out of Happy’s hold in the opposite direction.

“Hmph.”

But Young Yu Yan did not even manage to enjoy a full second of feeling proud of herself, because her body was pulled back by a powerful suction force. Happy held her tightly in his arms. “Aren’t you being disobedient now? You won’t even let your husband hug you even a little… Someone deserves a little punishment, hmm?”

“You bully. If you’re really that strong, then don’t use Ten True Dragon Styles…” Young Yu Yan’s face was flushed red. She glared “viciously” at Happy, who was tapping her b.u.t.t, and she looked as if she wanted to fight against Happy.

“I’m not stupid enough to fight against my own wife.” Happy’s bold and upright answer and action caused Young Yu Yan to want to bite him so that she could vent his anger.

Happy finally returned to the main topic. “By the way, I forgot to tell you something. Xin, the information you gathered for me is very useful. Right now, I’ve completely isolated Cla.s.s One Hall’s headquarters in Beijing. All the resource points that originally belong to Cla.s.s One Hall, Blood Alliance, and the twelve Beijing sects have all been distributed to the sects in the cities. Right now, we finally have some confidence and capital to fight against Cla.s.s One Hall.”

“Hmph.” Young Yu Yan was still angry about the fact that Happy had just gained an advantage over her by hugging her. She turned her pretty face to the side and ignored Happy.

“Alright, my dear wife. I was wrong.

“So, my dear wife, please help me manage the information to the north of Stilled Wind City and the areas near Baokang. Without your information, I won’t be able to plan my operations to s.n.a.t.c.h those resource points and opening them to the other sects for a fee so easily. But I’m still facing one danger right now. If Evil Emperor realizes that I might pose a threat over there, he might order Wild Wolves to attack beforehand. In fact, he can mobilize more elites into the Chinese server.”

“You’ve currently distributed all your resource points to the other sects to forcibly get capital. If Evil Emperor still doesn’t see you as a threat, then something is wrong.” Young Yu Yan finally puffed up her cheeks and spoke.

Once she finished speaking, she glared at him in slight annoyance. “I’ll help you organize the information, but you’ll have to be careful over there. All that you have right now isn’t firmly in your hands right now. You might also have spies from Cla.s.s One Hall and Wild Wolves in your group. It’s best if you’re the one in control of your finances. As long as you have that firmly in your grasp, you will have the chance and strength to fight against Evil Emperor.”

Her grave words caused Happy to pay attention to her. What she said was true. Dream Clouds was the best at being ruthless.

“Don’t worry about it. Lovely Land has just been built, and there are plenty of problems within it. We haven’t distributed our jobs clearly yet either. Those sects only recognize me, and I have been receiving all the money alone. Besides, I have a few personal battle replays which are at the top ten in the pay-to-view battle replay system. They’re not worried about me, so there isn’t a problem in terms of finances.”

“Once you have a firm grasp of finances, you have to start with development, or else, it’ll just be a stash of worthless metal. Did you ever think about bringing over the management system we have over here to that world?”

Happy shook his head and rejected Young Yu Yan’s suggestion. “It’s still not the time yet. The core of the sect isn’t stabilized yet, and you also mentioned spies. I can’t take the risk. Besides, Dream Clouds is the progenitor of this system. If I suggest the system, she will immediately find a lot of flaws in it. I can’t do that. I have to set up another system. Even if it’s temporary, I can’t use the system Dream Clouds created.”

“The situation over there is complicated. I can’t help you without personally seeing it.” Young Yu Yan stated in slight regret.

“Don’t worry. You’ve already helped me a lot. I will discuss the system with Ji Feng slowly.” Happy became serious once more.

While he comforted Xu Xin, he knew that he actually held the initiative, and he also had an advantage no one had!

Right now, not only did he have someone in this world who helped him strategize, he also had a large group in charge of helping him continuously gather information in time. This power alone was already a much greater safeguard compared to one hundred resource points.

*****

Young Yu Yan stood gracefully beyond the Buddha statues outside Dafo Temple and watched Happy walk into the formation with her eyes sparkling as brightly as water in a lake when the sun shone on it. When he vanished, she jumped on a broken wall nearby.

Thud! Thud!

“A… mi… ta… bha…”

Happy walked slowly among the Buddha statues, and the voice of Buddha chanted continuously in his ears.

As Happy ventured deeper into the group of statues, the Buddha statues beside him looked as if they had come alive. The pure voices of Buddha continued pouring into his ears.

This was rather similar compared to the first time Happy entered the midst of the Buddha statues, but it was clear that there were some differences.

Happy frowned slightly.

The Buddha voices around him were not aggressive, but as Happy ventured deeper, the sounds also became louder.

What made him puzzled was that even if the voices became louder, it did not make him annoyed. Instead, he felt calm, as if he was detached from the world.

His mind quickly became calm and quiet.

Happy entered the state of Moon in Well naturally. His heart was as still as water, and his Nine Yang Divine Skill was activated automatically. Along with his spiritual senses, which was refined and improved after he mastered Tendon Changing Cla.s.sic, he could see all movements within a circular area of 625 feet, and there was no way he would miss anything.

Everything came to his senses in a very profound manner.

The layered Buddha sounds spread out in Happy’s heart like ripples. It was as if an amazing power was baptizing his spirit.

‘How could this be?’

Happy quickly noticed the change in him. When his mind became empty, the system actually told him that he gained a valuable Willpower point.

Happy sucked in a deep breath. He could not believe his own ears and eyes.

But soon, Happy had his question answered.

Perhaps this large number of Buddha statues always had the ability to increase a person’s Willpower, but the player would need to reach a certain realm before he could get that Willpower point. For example, having his heart be as still as water.

Perhaps it was precisely because of the effect of the Buddha statues in Dafo Temple that Evil King chose to come here to suppress the evil in him.

However, who would have thought that Evil King would discover the secret left behind by the ancient divine monk because of it and locate the four One with the World Realm ultimate techniques the divine monk left behind?

As he thought about this, Happy’s thoughts became complicated.

His mind wandered, and he reached the center of the Buddha statues in an absent-minded state. He arrived behind a middle-aged man sitting with a straight back and who gave off an elegant presence.

Even though he was only showing his back to Happy, at the moment Happy looked up and stared at him, he sensed a qi wave that Happy could not block rise from him.

It was as if a towering mountain had suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was terrifying as well as shocking.

Happy sucked in a sharp breath before he quickly regained his composure. “Are you Senior Evil King?’

When wandering martial artists met, they should always be courteous before they resorted to force. This was a principle Happy had always kept. He wrapped his fist in his palm, and he acted in a neither arrogant nor humble fas.h.i.+on.

After Happy finished speaking, Evil King moved and slowly turned around. “Gusu’s Blue-robed Hero.”

His expression was calm, causing the people who saw him to be unable to believe that this elegant and gentle middle-aged man was the leader of the evil cult to whom countless righteous martial artists wanted to kill so that they could be at peace. “Did you come here to look for me?”

Happy said, “That’s right. The legacy left behind by Dafo Temple’s divine monk should not land in the hands of those in the evil cult. This valuable item will not have its worth recognized if that’s the case. I came here on behalf of Kind Boathouse to ask you to leave.”

“Oh? Did Kind Boathouse also send someone here?” Evil King seemed to have remembered something sad, and faint sadness flashed in his eyes. “I wonder, who came?”

His voice traveled forth like waves. In an instant, the sacred voices from Buddha from among the statues seemed to have been suppressed. Evil King’s face was also enveloped by a brutal presence.
