  Ever since Sky Demon Branch was destroyed and a branch from Blood Alliance was crushed, Happy destroyed Five Venoms' former headquarters as well, and now, Happy had set flame to three places belonging to Class One Hall and Blood Alliance.

  There was no reason for Class One Hall and Blood Alliance to continue remaining silent.

  [Happy, don't you think you were a little too violent this time?]

  This time, even Wandering Know-it-all could not keep quiet. Once the matter ended, he sent a messenger pigeon over.

  [Did I?]

  Happy smiled. He refused to believe that Wandering Know-it-all did not know why he chose this spot as his breakthrough point.

  [Thank goodness you chose Five Venoms this time. Last time, you had a reason for attacking Class One Hall and Blood Alliance. You could say that it was for your friends and that you were seeking justice for them. Reason was behind your actions, and while Class One Hall and Blood Alliance was humiliated, they could come out of this accident with grace. Besides, you didn't continue attacking them afterwards, and they can only admit to their loss and endure the shame. This time, you also did good by choosing Five Venoms.] Wandering Know-it-all lamented in his letter.

  Five Venoms had always been an affiliate that Dream Clouds did not admit was under her.

  In fact, there were plenty of times where Dream Clouds publicly announced that she had nothing to do with Five Venoms to avoid suspicion.

  [You improved very quickly at Ghost's Domain. I thought that you would only take action after you reached Inaction Realm. I didn't expect that your patience is shorter than what I expected.] Wandering Know-it-all tactfully showed his disdain.

  [When I reach Inaction Realm, I'll still need to practice Inaction Realm martial arts, and that takes even more time. I don't want to let Dream Clouds and Blood Robes have so much time enjoying their lives.]

  Once he sent this letter, Happy's tone changed in his next letter.

  [This time, when I went to Five Venoms, I noticed something interesting. I ran into two people in Five Venoms' headquarters.]

  Wandering Know-it-all reacted very quickly.

  [Wild Wolves!]

  Happy answered, [Correct. Even though they wore human skin masks at that time, their presences were extraordinary, and they gave me the feeling that they're even more dangerous than Proud over All Life. In fact, their presence was similar to Flame Wolf.]

  [They could threaten you, they're close to Proud over All Life, but won't fight against you with Five Venoms. They're definitely Wild Wolves, no doubt about it. It's unfortunate that there is a clear weakness to my divination, and I can't figure out any news regarding those with the Killer Star effect, or else, I will definitely be able to locate them, dig them out, and cut down one of Wild Wolves' claws!] Wandering Know-it-all lamented.

  [It's fine. At the very least, we know about them now. In fact, we can be certain just who is providing help to Wild Wolves. Five Venoms is now missing from among the people who can provide them help, and it's already impossible for them to continue hiding in the Chinese server smoothly.]

  Happy's words reminded Wandering Know-it-all now. He quickly sent a letter over.

  [You're right! If they continue lurking in the Chinese server, they will definitely need a fixed place for them to hide, and they need someone to provide secret keepers for them to kill everyday! Right now, they must either leave the Chinese server or search for other hiding places.]

  [It's impossible for Wild Wolves to look for someone else to work with them either within such a short period of time,] Happy answered with a smile.

  [That's right.]

  [No matter what, Class One Hall has a lot of people, making the relationship between the members complicated, and it's the same case for Blood Alliance. Since Five Venoms could help them hide for so long, Wild Wolves can only continue seeking help from Five Venoms.]

  Wandering Know-it-all guessed that those Wild Wolves might be hiding in the other branches for Five Venoms, and his speed as he wrote his letters became much faster. [We must find them and kill them!]

  [Unfortunately, when I heard you reminding me to go into isolation to train until I reach Inaction Realm, I found that what you said is very logical,] Happy suddenly said.

  Wandering Know-it-all went silent for some time before he replied in a resigned tone, [Alright, you voluntarily attacked Five Venoms just now, and this time, since I'm the one who wants to attack Five Venoms, it's only normal for you to get something from me. How do you want me to help you?]

  [It's easy. I have a few friends who are having a hard time in the game right now. I hope that you can help me out and contact them from time to time as well as take care of them. You know that with the current situation, it's not suitable for me to help anyone.] Happy thought about this for a moment before he replied.

  Wandering Know-it-all said, [No problem. There are a few Five Venoms branches near Yangzhou. I'll send their address to you. Go to the place where Proud over All Life is currently headed.]

  Wandering Know-it-all then reminded him. [But you must be careful. Even though Dream Clouds won't admit that Five Venoms is under her, once you attack them continuously, she won't stand by and do nothing. She will provide help in the dark, and you might even end up stimulating Wild Wolves so much that they counterattack. I won't be able to help you in this regard.]

  [Wild Wolves' goal is Wind Chimes, and even if I die once or twice, it's twice. Besides, I still have a needle that is causing me a lot of grief stuck in me right now. If I can really die once, it'll also be a form of release.]

  [Alright! You'll have to be careful. If anything happens, you can attack me at any time!]

  Once they ended their conversation, Happy obtained the related information about Proud over All Life.

  Ever since the headquarters at Yangzhou was destroyed, Proud over All Life quickly brought his group to move to a branch in Zhenjiang, which was nearby. Hence, the location was not far away from where Happy currently was.

  *****

  Half an hour later…

  "This guy has gone mad!"

  Dream Clouds flew into a rage in her headquarters in Beijing, and she was exasperated. The core Class One Hall members in the meeting also had solemn expressions on their faces.

  Soon after Five Venoms' former headquarters in Yangzhou was destroyed, while the thousands of members were migrating to Zhenjiang, they were ambushed by Happy, and they lost more than one thousand people. Then, the branch in Zhenjiang was also attacked, and hundreds of people over there died. The Five Venoms members left Zhenjiang overnight and split up to head to the few branches nearby.

  As of current, Five Venoms had already lost two branches, more than three thousand Five Venoms disciples, and countless resources!

  Five Venoms suffered a huge blow to their foundation!

  But Happy did not seem to want to stop. Once he destroyed their branch in Zhenjiang, he did not stay. He left the city and vanished once more.

  But at that moment, almost all Five Venoms members felt insecure. The branch masters in the branches retrieved all their resources from their storage and were prepared to abandon their branches at any moment to run.

  Five Venoms was now in a precarious state.

  Whoosh!

  Dream Clouds stood up resolutely after she threw a tantrum, and she gave her orders coldly. "Immediately mobilize the people in Dark Alliance and have them head south to help Five Venoms. Do everything it takes to destroy Happy's momentum!

  "And at the same time, contact the people from Blood Alliance. It's not convenient for Class One Hall to show up, but we can still have Blood Alliance attack. Have them immediately send their elites over! I don't want to hear news of a third branch from Five Venoms being destroyed!

  "Go! Now!"

  The group received their orders and left.

  Dream Clouds watched coldly as the group of higher ups swiftly left. Her eyes burned with fire that would not fade away no matter how much time passed.
r />   In truth, she had been expecting this day to arrive.

  But what truly caused her to be vexed and uneasy was not the fact that the branches of Five Venoms were continuously destroyed, but the timing for Happy's attacks. It just had to coincide with the time Five Venoms was in charge of hiding Wild Wolves, and if the branches from Five Venoms were continuously destroyed, it will be hard for them to smoothly hide those Wild Wolves' tracks.

  Happy was not only doing this for revenge. He might have guessed the relationship between Five Venoms and Wild Wolves, which was why he just kept chasing them down.

  Dream Clouds was worried that once the matter of Wild Wolves working together with Five Venoms was revealed, she will no longer have a place to stand in the Chinese server, no matter how big it was!

  At this very moment, Five Venoms' survival was related to Class One Hall's survival! There was no way Dream Clouds could not fly into anger!

  Dream Clouds gnashed her teeth. "Happy… you forced my hand."

  *****

  "Boss Happy!"

  "Boss Happy!"

  Happy quirked his eyebrows when someone suddenly called out to him, and he looked at the two riders who chased after him.

  Those two were the people he ran into outside Five Venoms' former headquarters in Yangzhou. Happy remembered that they had used a sinister item called Bone-corroding Powder and destroyed the Five Venoms members' high-class venomous insects in an autosadistic manner. They had angered the group of Five Venoms members so much that they had been prepared to go to Guanlin Temple to kill them a few more times.

  It was only at that moment that Happy had the chance to carefully size up the duo.

  The two could be considered rather young. While their faces were quite pale, their eyes were very lively.

  It was precisely because Happy remembered the method they used against Five Venoms regardless of the cost they had to bear that he stopped.

  "May I help you?"

  "Boss Happy, we came here to thank you!"

  When the duo caught up to him, they stared at him in great excitement.

  Happy smiled. "By the looks of it, you have quite the grudge with Five Venoms."

  "Of course!"

  "We'll never reconcile!"

  "Those bastards from Five Venoms killed us four times over the past two months just because we criticized them once. They killed us two times during the first month, then left us alone before killing us again in the second month. They've already made up their minds to not let us have a good time playing the game, and they won't give us the chance to continue improving in the game. They also said that they wanted us to suffer a fate worse than death. I really want to kill them all a few times."

  Happy quietly listened to one of them finish narrating their experience before saying, "You can go back now and train. Very soon, Five Venoms won't exist anymore in the Chinese server!"

  Once he said those words, he was prepared to leave.

  At that moment, the words they said next caused him to stop moving.

  "Boss Happy, do you have another goal in causing trouble to Five Venoms this time? For example… searching for someone?"

  Chapter 995 - Ten Thousand Poison Matrix

  "Boss Happy, do you have another goal in causing trouble to Five Venoms this time? For example… searching for someone?"

  They were originally two insignificant nobodies, but because of that question, Happy's views about them instantly changed, and he turned around slowly to meet with two pairs of sparkling eyes filled with uncertainty and excitement. He said without batting an eyelid, "What do you know?"

  "Over the past two months, we have actually been thinking that we don't want to continue playing the game anymore, but since we don't want Five Venoms to have a good time, we decided to cause trouble to Five Venoms before we leave. We've been taking turns monitoring the headquarters in Yangzhou everyday, and we've collected a lot of information, and we discovered certain strange things."

  "That's right! We think that you might be interested in these things, Boss Happy."

  The duo's mysterious words finally stirred up Happy's interest successfully. "Go on."

  One of them looked around hesitantly.

  The other one immediately urged him to speak, "What are you afraid of? Five Venoms is already in bad shape, and there's no reason for us to be afraid when we can help Boss Happy completely destroy Five Venoms."

  Once he received this person's encouragement, that person seemed to have come to some sort of decision. He gritted his teeth and said, "Over the past month, Five Venoms would always send a certain group of players focusing only on their occupations, and they will always come to the headquarters at the same time every day."

  "Players focusing on their occupations?" Happy furrowed his eyebrows a little, and he quickly sensed that there was something unusual about this.

  "They don't ever come out after they go in, do they?"

  The duo seemed as if they did not expect that Happy would detect the critical point that they were about to say so soon. The excitement on their faces grew, and they nodded vigorously. "Yes!"

  "It's precisely because we found it strange that we paid attention to it later on. A lot of people would always appear at Guanlin Temple for some inexplicable reason, and all of them wear Bamboo Hats. Once these people come out, they will also head to the resource points outside the city."

  "Is there anything else?"

  "Yeah. When we came back to Yangzhou City from Guanlin Temple, we saw two women walk out of their headquarters from Yangzhou right when you killed Proud over All Life. They're not from Five Venoms, but we've seen them come out of Five Venoms a few times. They will also stay for a long time while they are there."

  "Did you ever follow them?" Happy put on a solemn expression.

  The two women they mentioned were clearly the two Wild Wolves beside Proud over All Life.

  When he linked all of this together, he could understand why there would be a large group of players focusing on the occupations in the game going into the headquarters of Five Venoms and coming out of Guanlin Temple every day.

  If he could obtain more information from these two and understand the women's goal and mission for staying in Chinese territory, it would be great.

  Right when he finished speaking, the two people across him shook their heads awkwardly. "Every time they come out, they will immediately vanish, and we are never able to follow them."

  Happy said nothing about that, but he did not find it strange.

  These two were international mercenaries, and their abilities in anti-tracking were definitely very strong. Naturally, it was impossible for two amateurs in World of Martial Arts to track them down.

  Even though he was disappointed, these two still gave him pretty good trails and helped him a decent train of thought.

  Players who focused on occupations in the game.

  Since Five Venoms provided Wild Wolves protection and the conditions for them to hide themselves through these players, then wherever these Wild Wolves moved, these players might also have to move with them. It was clearly not practical for them to switch to another large group of people, and if they did this, it would be very easy for there to be a leak.

  A thought appeared in his mind.

  Happy quickly realized that this was a good way to locate those Wild Wolves and force them to expose themselves!

  Happy looked up and smiled at the duo. "You mentioned that you won't reconcile with Five Venoms, right? I have a task here, and I wonder if you're interested in it. If you do it well, I'll give you each a Fire Qilin Blood."

  The duo's eyes lit up, and they spoke together.

  "Boss Happy, just tell us what you need, we'll do whatever it takes to attack Five Venoms. It doesn't matter even if we don't receive any rewards! The key is that we want to kill more Five Venoms members!"

  "Do you know those players who often go into the former headquarters in Yangzhou?"

  "Erm…" The duo hesitated for a whil
e before they answered, "We don't know them, but we can ask around. We'll know who they are once we ask a few people about them."

  "Alright, help me investigate where they're going."

  "I might have destroyed the headquarters in Yangzhou, but logically speaking, this group of players should not leave their resource points. Think of a way for me to check the location of the Five Venoms players who left Yangzhou City. If they're not around the area anymore, check where they're headed. You can also tell me their names, and I'll investigate."

  "Okay!" The duo turned around and were prepared to leave.

  At that moment, Happy suddenly called out to the duo. "By the way, I forgot to ask you for your names."

  "I'm Iron Otter!"

  "I-I'm Little Bear-shaped Biscuits!"

  "Alright, your names are all very special. Go. Write to me when you have news, and you might have the chance to completely destroy Five Venoms."

  "Boss Happy, don't worry. We'll definitely finish your task with flying colors!"

  "We're leaving now!"

  Once Iron Otter and Little Bear left, Happy quickly sent this information to Wandering Know-it-all and asked him to spare a little of his attention on this issue before he left for the port nearby. He was prepared to use the rivers to head to Nanking, which was the location of the next Five Venoms branch.

  *****

  It was not quite peaceful while he was on his way there.

  His boat was sunk when he passed by spots with common reeds by the banks, and while he was on his way to Nanking, he was attacked furiously by eight waves of people. These people came from all sorts of places.

  There were evil elites from Blood Alliance, all sorts of venomous insects from Five Venoms, assassins without emblems identifying their allegiances, and some players who shot arrows at him without daring to show their faces.

  However, these people did not end up with no success.

  At the very least, Happy's boat was now at the bottom of the river, and Happy was forced to travel on the road.

  When he reached Nanking, it was already one and a half hours later.
