“It’s you!”

When Situ Luoyu and Solitary Perpetual Joy turned around, they saw a party of four rushing forward. Their hearts trembled violently when they saw Happy, who had a faint smile while at the front of his party. Disbelief showed up on the leaders’ faces.

The members of Fallen Feathers Sect and Perpetual Joy Sect were also dumbfounded by the sight of the party of four suddenly appearing behind them. They watched Happy’s party run toward them while feeling at a loss. Then, they looked at their leaders from the corners of their eyes. They did not know whether they should go up against them.

“What a coincidence, we meet again, sect leaders.” Happy stopped thirty-two feet away from the two people and spoke in a calm voice. He smiled at Situ Luoyu and Solitary Perpetual Joy, who still had not registered what had happened.

“Hah. It’s indeed a coincidence.”

Situ Luoyu forced a hint of a smile on his face, but even he found it a little stiff.

It was even more so for Solitary Perpetual Joy. He hadn’t had much affection for Happy to begin with, so when he saw that Happy’s party had avoided their hunt and appeared in the second level of Fox Cave against his expectations, there was just no way he could remain calm!

Uncontrollably, a sentence tumbled out of his mouth. “How did you get in?”

Happy redirected his gaze to Solitary Perpetual Joy’s face and smiled faintly. “Hehe. The second level of Fox Cave is not a forbidden ground. It’s only natural that we can enter. Brother Perpetual Joy, your words are quite interesting.”

“We’re just a little curious. We didn’t see you when we entered the second level of Fox Cave. We were actually puzzled and worried by it.”

When Situ Luoyu saw that the atmosphere had become a little stiff, he quickly smiled and walked up to mediate the situation. He did not wish for his action of searching for Happy to be exposed.

“Then thank you for worrying about me. By the way, I heard that something happened between you and Chivalry Sect. May I know exactly what?”

When Happy saw that there were around twenty or so people beside the two leaders, he could already guess that they had carried out their plot and something had happened to Chivalry Sect.

“This is something that only concerns us. Please do not be worried about it. I do not wish for you to butt in.” Solitary Perpetual Joy’s expression was steely, and his tone held hostility.

The atmosphere became tense again.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone swiftly exchanged an indifferent gaze with Little North. Then, he took two steps forward without batting an eyelid. He looked at Solitary Perpetual Joy as if evaluating him.

“How funny. I wonder what you’re worried about, Sect Master Perpetual Joy. Red Dust and I are strangers with each other, so that sentence of yours really puzzles me. Could it be that there is another story behind the grudge between Perpetual Joy Sect and Chivalry Sect? Sect Master Perpetual Joy, are we worried that I will find the matter to be unjust?”

His words held no wariness of the leader of Perpetual Joy Sect. It was especially evident in his last question. There was mockery implied in his words, causing the people from Perpetual Joy Sect to show great hostility. The cave filled with the noise of weapons being drawn!

“Very well…” Solitary Perpetual Joy’s face was livid with rage as he stared at Happy, and his gaze freezing cold. “There hasn’t been a single person who dared to speak with that tone to me before. You’re the first with the guts to do so!”

A wild and arrogant aura surged out from his body as he spoke. It became stronger and stronger: Gate Realm… Blessed Realm… Then, it reached Mystical Realm, the qi realm after Blessed Realm! The wild and rampaging aura and his sharp gaze created a presence that of someone superior. His chilling intention to kill became incredibly clear.

“Brother Perpetual Joy, don’t be angry. Happy, you’re being too brusque. How could you talk like that?”

Situ Luoyu continued to try and mediate the situation like a good person, but unfortunately for him, Happy knew just what sort of character he was. Happy did not even look at Situ Luoyu. He just smiled faintly in the face of the aura of a Mystical Realm player coming at him.

“You should experience firsts in everything. In the future, you will soon find the second and the third who will talk to you like that. You just need to get used to it!”

Happy spoke in a calm tone, like he was talking earnestly with an old friend, which stunned everyone. When they understood the teasing and mocking implications in his words, Solitary Perpetual Joy’s face turned purple, and he finally exploded.

“Damn you, you bastard!”

He spread his palms and went to strike Happy.

A cold glare flashed in Happy’s eyes, but he could tell that Solitary Perpetual Joy was just trying to test him. He stood his ground, and a golden light surged out from his body.

He activated Golden Bell Cocoon!

Happy might not have moved, but Little North did not manage to hold himself back.

When he saw how arrogant and wild Solitary Perpetual Joy was, he, who had been waiting for action, finally moved from his spot like a flash and appeared beside Solitary Perpetual Joy.

An extremely fierce-looking black claw struck Solitary Perpetual Joy’s body!

“Huh?”

The silver-gray light around Solitary Perpetual Joy’s body trembled violently when he was struck by Little North. He could not help but take half a step backwards. His palm strike became much weaker, and when it reached Happy, it was destroyed by Golden Bell Cocoon.

Solitary Perpetual Joy was not a person who would allow others to look down on him!

When he was caught off guard and forced to take half a step backwards by Little North, his expression instantly turned even more sour.

“You’re just asking for death!”

With a roar, the people from Perpetual Joy Sect activated their qi realms together. Light of various colors that symbolized high-tier martial arts at a high realm spread out. Everyone then went to attack Happy and his party, who had been disrespectful to their leader.

The aura of a group of extremely powerful martial artists was definitely not something a chaotic battle could hope to compare to.

“Careful!”

Happy had not expected that Little North’s attacks would cause Perpetual Joy Sect to attack them in a group. He focused and took a step forward to grab Little North’s shoulder and pull him back.

When Little North was yanked back, the golden light around Happy shone brightly, receiving the strikes from the elites of Perpetual Joy Sect. Happy was as sturdy as a mountain, and his gaze was like a blade. He went up against them head-on without fear.

Boom!

All sorts of fierce and sharp glares cut down on the golden light that symbolized Golden Bell Cocoon’s defenses. Even with it activated at its strongest, Happy could not remain still under such a fierce onslaught. His body trembled violently, and he took three consecutive steps back before he could stand in a stable manner. However, the fierce rebound crashed into the people from Perpetual Joy Sect so violently that the space between their fingers went numb, and their attacks instantly came to a stop.

When the people saw Happy surviving their attacks and his body fortification technique not shattering even once, they were unable to help themselves and sucked in a sharp breath. They could not believe their own eyes!

What a powerful and tough body fortification technique!

“Hmph!”

Happy quickly quelled the blood that had been surging in his body because of the attacks that came from around a dozen top-tier players. He did not give them the chance to calm down from their shock. With a cold snort, he moved in a flash to stand in front of one of the people from Perpetual Joy Sect.

He would treat others based on how they treated him!

He might be someone with a good temperament, but he was not someone who would swallow insults and humiliation when others brazenly tried to bully him. When he attacked, he immediately executed Dragon Capture to control his enemy.

“Careful!”

“Get lost!”

The people in the area were all Perpetual Joy Sect elites. When they saw Happy seize one of their own right in front of them, they snapped out of their daze and roared together before they attacked with the intention to block Happy’s offense.

“Hmph!”

Once he withstood the uncomfortable feeling of his blood tumbling in his body after he was attacked by multiple powerful players with strong attacks, Happy felt anger boil in him, and it was one that he could not put into words! His anger burned even brighter when he saw Solitary Perpetual Joy and Situ Luoyu perceive themselves as high-and-mighty by relying on the power of their sects. It gave him the urge to tear them apart piece by piece!

When he attacked, he used his strongest killing move straight away!

Dragon Capture!

He seized the person closest to him! While he moved back as quickly as the wind, he used Stormy Shadowless Kick to attack the back of a Perpetual Joy Sect elite who had temporarily lost his ability to fight back. He struck with the force of a storm, each of his kicks producing a sound as loud as thunder!
