A normal player might think that he had triggered some sort of plot-related quest because he killed too many people, but Happy knew that this was definitely not something so simple and so good.
This stupid eunuch was not an idiot.
Right now, things had progressed to this manner, and the best forces from the imperial court had practically all been sent out. What could a eunuch's guarantee do? If his words really worked, it would mean that the power of the emperor and the imperial court was nothing.
If Happy really surrendered, he would be a true idiot!
Happy ignored the fair eunuch's temptations and redirected his gaze to look around.
At that moment, the people from Class One Hall were already slaughtered to the point that they were trembling in their boots. They had come with more than four thousand people, and now, their numbers had been reduced to no more than five hundred. Two of their aces had died, and the rest had fled. Only a few Class One Hall members could be seen within a circular area of the ruins for Wind Assault Tower's former headquarters.
Most of them had retreated into the streets.
Right now, Happy was the only surrounded by the four Myth Realm martial artists sent by the imperial court.
"You talk too much!"
As Happy said those rude words, the fair eunuch felt as if his dignity had been trampled on. He glared, and a shrill shout rang through the area.
"Brat, I'm showing you respect, and yet you give me none! Do not blame me for being ruthless!"
His last word became the signal for the four Myth Realm elites to attack at the same time. Elder Smoke and Vermillion Bird had been acc.u.mulating a lot of frustration in them, and with angry shouts, they attacked together.
When One Emperor saw that Happy was instantly trapped and encircled by four Myth Realm martial artists, he could not help but had a nervous look appear on his face at that moment, even though his expression had not changed since the beginning.
Although he always wanted to know just how strong Happy was, he was still nervous for Happy, because he knew that he himself did not have the power to fight back two martial artists at the later stage of Myth Realm. Besides, there was still a Golden Saber Constable and an elite Embroidered Uniform Guard around Happy as well.
"Look, Happy just broke out of the encirclement!"
Just when everyone thought that Happy would be in a predicament and might have a difficult time smoothly dealing with the situation, the situation suddenly took a huge turn. The four Myth Realm martial artists were actually forced back with just one move by Happy, and he took advantage of the situation to break out of the encirclement safely after withstanding two blows. He rushed into the depths of Wind Assault Tower's former headquarters.
One Emperor, Wu Kuo, and the others were incredibly excited, even though they said nothing!
The people from Class One Hall thought that the bastard would finally die, but they did not expect that even with a lineup consisting of four Myth Realm martial artists, they were still unable to completely surround and trap Happy.
"Darn it!"

"Run!"
Now, no one shouted while rushing over to be cannon fodder anymore. When they saw Happy rushing toward them, they started running madly while they were still 328 feet away.
Even if Happy changed his direction, they still thought that Happy wanted to use his old trick and lure them over so that he could kill them quickly. They did not turn their heads around, and they were incredibly determined as they fled.
Everyone thought that Happy intended to break out of the encirclement, but Wu Kuo seemed to have remembered something at that moment, and his eyes lit up. Then, he sent a private message to One Emperor with an incredibly uncertain tone.
"With the direction Happy is going to, he seems to be going to the spot where Wind Chimes logged off."
One Emperor's reaction was incredibly intense. He turned his head around and stared at Wu Kuo. "Are you sure?"
"I am. At that time, I was the one who arranged for the spot for her to log off. I already knew that we can't protect the headquarters by then—" Before he finished speaking, Wu Kuo saw One Emperor quickly release a messenger pigeon. Then, One Emperor turned around with a solemn expression to say to the people behind him.
"I already know what Happy intends to do. Come with me!"
"Huh?!"
Wu Kuo and the group were first stunned, but when they saw One Emperor rushing into the ruins of their former headquarters unthinkingly, they no longer hesitated and followed closely behind him.
One Emperor and his group's actions were all monitored by another group of Class One Hall elites.
When they took action, someone immediately jumped down from the roof and entered the balcony at the first floor of a restaurant.
Sitting at the window next to the balcony in the restaurant were Dream Clouds and Evil Emperor.
They drank tea quietly by the window.
When she heard the sound of someone moving beside her, Dream Clouds looked to the side a little. "They did something?"
The scout spoke quickly, "Yes. But Happy is currently being chased by four Myth Realm elites. He might not be able to personally receive Wind Chimes. One Emperor brought a group of people into the ruins. I don't know whether they are prepared to help Happy break out of the encirclement or are prepared to receive Wind Chimes."
Once he finished speaking, the spy left under Dream Clouds' instructions.
Dream Clouds and Evil Emperor were the only ones left in the private room once more.
This time, Evil Emperor was the first to speak. He looked up and said, "Happy's defense is really outstanding. Those four Myth Realm martial artists might be a threat to him, but it's very difficult for them to kill him."
"They can't even do it when they're working together?" Dream Clouds. It was not that she did not believe in Evil Emperor's assessment toward Happy, but it was because there were currently very few people in the game who could handle fighting against more than two Myth Realm martial artists in one go. Happy's situation, where his actions alone had caused four Myth Realm martial artists to target him, was frightening even when they heard about it.
"Happy's defense is only of secondary importance. If it's just his defense alone, we could just ignore him." When he said this, Evil Emperor stopped talking for a moment before he continued, but he has an incredibly profound move. He has an ultimate technique that can allow him to instantly execute three attacks equal to the full-powered strikes from martial artists at the middle stage of Myth Realm. Even I am wary of that attack. Even though he can't use it repeatedly, the cooldown time for that skill is not long, and he will not have a problem to break out of the encirclement to leave Beijing."
"That's why you believe that he might not be in a hurry to leave Beijing right now?" Dream Clouds' frown deepened.
"Indeed." Evil Emperor nodded. "If he manages to save Wind Chimes, Wandering Know-it-all would be able to recover his strength a little. One Emperor's strength is not compromised, and only Wind Assault Tower would be completely ruined. Two out of the three in the Iron Triangle Alliance will be left, and with Happy along, they will still pose as a problem we cannot ignore."
Dream Clouds said nothing. Naturally, she knew what sort of trouble Evil Emperor was referring to.
Once Wind Chimes was rescued, Happy would be even closer to Wandering Know-it-all, and he might work together with One Emperor to bring a lot of trouble to Class One Hall. In fact, they might cut away a huge piece of the Chinese server that was about to fall complete in her hands.
"No matter what, Wind Chimes must die today!" Dream Clouds stared at Evil Emperor resolutely.
Evil Emperor spread his arms. "If Beijing only sends one
Myth Realm martial artist after me, he can't do anything to me.
"I can help you in this. Treat it as my gift to you before I leave."
"That will already be enough. Leave the rest to Xie Lingyun and Luo Jing. They're already waiting nearby for their orders." Her last sentence actually contained the hidden meaning of urging Evil Emperor to take action.
Evil Emperor did not say anything. He just picked up his teacup and moved it over his nostrils before he put it down. Then, he vanished without a sound from his seat.
Once Evil Emperor left, Dream Clouds' expression became calm once more. Her lips moved, and soon, a group of people silently went to the streets from the first floor of the restaurant.
*****
Wind Chimes was incredibly anxious as she waited offline this day. She sat in her living room and stared at her computer. On it was the first person view linked to one of her friends, and she was currently watching the situation inside Wind Assault Tower's former headquarters. A transducer VR helmet was placed on the couch, and in her other hand was a phone.
"It's here!"
At the moment she sensed the vibration from the phone, Wind Chimes felt her entire being coming alive. Without another word, she quickly turned off her computer, wore the helmet, and laid on the couch to reenter the game.
When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Happy fighting fiercely against four Myth Realm martial artists.
He was not doing it easily, and he did not even have the time to greet her.
Around her were One Emperor, Wu Kuo, and Wind Assault Tower's aces.
"Welcome back."
"Follow us!" As Happy growled, Wind Chimes said nothing else. She quickly brought out her Demonic Zither from her Universe Bag, and while she was protected by the group, started heading to the street.
One Emperor did not make a wrong guess, Happy intended to use the four Myth Realm martial artists as free bodyguards and protect Wind Chimes on her way back.
Chapter 1067 - Evil Emperor is Set Up
"Wind Chimes!"
"Hurry up and tell the hall master! Demonic Zither Wind Chimes has logged in!"
"Brothers and sisters, get ready to attack!"
Right when Wind Chimes entered the sights of the large number of people in the street, she quickly attracted great attention from Class One Hall. They descended into an uproar, and the crowd moved, and the groups of people who had been stationed in the place quickly occupied the streets and the roofs on both sides of the street.
The people from Class One Hall used a lineup of more than one thousand people to seal off Wind Chimes and her party's path ahead from the distance.
Creak! Creak! Creak!
Bows were drawn fully, and they contained very real and very great killing intent. The protected zone instantly turned into an area that was as dangerous as a dragon's den, and they looked as if they would immediately attack the moment Wind Chimes entered their attack range.
But when Wind Chimes and her party entered their attack range, they did not dare to readily fire, and there was no other reason behind it.
Happy led four Myth Realm martial artists and charged straight in front of the others. These five people kept intersecting with each other, and they fought fiercely, imperceptibly providing quite the decent protection for Wind Chimes and her party. It would be a major matter if any of them accidentally attacked the four martial artists from the four great law enforcement groups.
It was already bad enough if they offended them on any other day. But this matter today happened in Beijing, and they were in the emperor's territory. Anyone who prevented a law enforcer or attacked them would be doubly guilty!
Attacking these influential and reputable martial artists in Beijing under everyone's eyes was the same as walking to their own deaths. While apprehending Happy was important to him, if they could not take him down even after a long time, these four martial artists might actually split up and kill off the people who provoked them.
With the protection provided by the four Myth Realm martial artists, One Emperor, Wu Kuo, and the rest of the party protected Wind Chimes and smoothly arrived near the entrance of the street.
At that moment, Happy, who had been quietly fighting against the four Myth Realm martial artists, shouted loudly, "My martial artist friends, I'm about to use this path! If you're not from Class One Hall, please go into the nearby restaurants and shops for the time being, in case my attacks accidentally harm you! After all, weapons have no eyes! After three seconds, if you still remain on the street, then you will have to take care of yourself!"
Many people had realized since the beginning that Happy might want to break out of the encirclement through this place, and they had long since moved to the nearby roofs.
Right now, the ones remaining on the street quickly moved into the shops and restaurants. A handful of people had even activated their lightness skill to jump dozens of feet away. Then, they started watching from a distance.
Immediately, only the hostile Class One Hall's members were left on the entire street, and it seemed as if it had become much emptier!
"Let's go!"
After three seconds, Happy used one Full Winds in Long Skies to push the four Myth Realm martial artists away, and he rushed at the forefront as if he was flying. He moved as quickly as lightning as he faced the murderous defense line set up by Class One Hall.
He went straight to charge at the formation without saying anything else!
"Don't fire!"
The people in the lead saw Happy rushing over murderously, and they instantly panicked. Even though someone was alert enough to shout a warning loudly, some people were still intimidated by the almost substantial murderous aura from Happy. Under the powerful pressure, they became careless, and they released their arrows.
'Oh no!'
When these people released their arrows, the people around them thought that they had received their signal, and they fired at the same time.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the beginning, there were only a few arrows, but soon, they turned into an arrow.
Even though the group's target was Happy, since he activated Wave-like Subtle Steps along with Petite Dragon, he easily avoided being targeted. And now, most of the arrows that filled the air were directed at the four Myth Realm martial artists chasing after Happy.
"How preposterous!" A shrill, enraged shout shook the crowd.
The fair eunuch was the Second Grade Leader of Eastern Depot. He had a high status, and he was a prideful person. Right now, he was working with three great martial artists, but he could take down a nameless wandering martial artist, and his heart was already filled with anger. He could not accept this. Right now, when he saw the arrow shower that filled the air coming at them from the crowd, his rage completely exploded from him like a volcano.
"All you martial artists who habor evil intents… What do you think Beijing is? It's the capital! How could you commit crimes in the city and offend high-ranking officials from the imperial court?! Do you even respect the imperial court and His Majesty?!"
His reply was a second wave of arrows and the Class One Hall members shouting viciously, because they decided to act recklessly after they made the mistake.
"Darn it all!"
"We've already committed a crime! We might as well just kill the stupid eunuch!"
When he heard the group referring to him as "stupid eunuch", the fair eunuch flew into a rage. He grabbed the air with both hands, and his Sunflower Aura moved in reverse and charged out. The arrows that filled the air instantly moved to the side.
"Traitors to the country, all of you!"
He immediately gave up on chasing Happy momentarily and chased his goal by charging at Class One Hall.
The other three Myth Realm martial artists might not have reacted in such an extreme fashion, but they used their actions to tell the people around them how displeased they were.
When they moved past a few Class One Hall members, the endl
ess smoke from the opium pipe lit them on fire on the spot, and the heat was so great that they screamed in pain.
Vermillion Bird pierced through a few Class One Hall members' throats.
The only person who did not attack was the martial artist from Western Depot. It seemed like he knew that these people's target was not him. Hence, aside from crushing the arrows that came shooting at him from the sky and flinging them away, his eyes were fixed on Happy while he ran ahead of them, and he followed him closely.
Happy was not gentle at all when he attacked.
After all, he had already killed thousands of people in the capital, and he had committed a heinous crime. If he died in battle, he would have to sit in jail for one month, and that was why Happy charged into the densest group of people since the beginning.
Class One Hall's defense line was instantly torn by Happy.
Wherever he went, the people would be thrown off their feet.
Once the formation was destroyed, One Emperor, Wu Kuo, and the rest of the party protected Wind Chimes and easily blocked the scattered arrows coming at them from the sides.
Wind Chimes might be the chief target for protection, but she did not remain idle with her hands while she was in the party.
She held the zither with one hand, and with the other, she quickly created multiple sound blades, knocking away most of the arrows in the air.
The group quickly advanced 328 feet forward from the center of the street.
Suddenly, Happy, who had been moving ahead of the group, stopped moving.
Right now, there were only three people remaining behind him.
The fair eunuch, the hot-tempered Second Grade Leader of Eastern Depot had taken the initiative to chase after the Class One Hall members who challenged his might.
