Chapter 593: 593
Chapter 593: Cunning Elder Chen
When Happy returned to Beggar’s Sun’s Phoenix Sun Branch in Phoenix Sun City, he discovered that the place had clearly been cleaned up . There were a few Beggar’s Sect disciples serving as scouts at the entrance, and they observed the crowd on the streets warily .
Happy had wanted to go up and ask a few questions, but when he saw that they looked as if they were about to face a great enemy, a thought flashed in his mind, and he quietly went to the back of the yard where he flipped over the wall quietly .
He retracted his aura, and with the increased spiritual senses given to him by Nine Yang Divine Skill, he could clearly sense the changes around him . He avoided the sight of the Beggar’s Sect disciples with low qi realms without leaving any traces behind and approached the hall without alerting anyone .
The moment he got close, he could vaguely hear two people talking in the hall . One of their voices was very familiar, and it, naturally, belonged to Chen Youliang, whom Happy had been looking for .
“…I didn’t expect that the boy’s skills would have improved to this extent . After all, the Three Monsters of Phoenix Sun are people who are rather ruthless and troublesome in this area . I didn’t expect that they wouldn’t be able to kill him even when they attacked together . Instead, he killed two of them, and he even broke the third’s arm . ”
“Elder Chen… what should we do now?”
“How should I know?” There were hints of anger in Chen Youliang’s voice . “I was thinking about killing three birds with one stone and using the evil cult’s power to get rid of Happy and retrieve Dragon Saber from his hands, but not only did Shi Feixuan come out to completely ruin our plans, but that Physician Wang… Have you gotten rid of him?”
“You don’t have to worry about that . ” The unfamiliar voice seemed to be displeased that Chen Youliang had failed in his plan . It said with a hint of displeasure, “As for you, have you managed to send Song Yuanqiao and the others away?”
“Of course! Two of the Three Monsters of Phoenix Sun died, and one of them is injured . Yang Xuyan is currently being chased by Shi Feixuan, so if we don’t bring them some people, we won’t be able to explain things to the evil cult…”
There was an incredibly solemn tone to Chen Youliang’s voice . “Right now, they should have already been handed over to the evil cult . I heard that they will be sending them to Sky Demon Sect, so we can not be considered to have failed completely this time . ”

“Alright . ” The unfamiliar voice sounded much more relaxed after hearing that . “With Song Yuanqiao and the people from Wudang Sect as well as Ming Cult serving as hostages, Ming Cult and Wudang Sect will hesitate to take action . When the holy order attacks, with these two factions gone, Wang Chongyang alone will not be able to fight against Evil King and Zhu Yuyan . ”
When Happy heard all that outside the door, his expression turned extremely unpleasant!
He finally understood why the quest had not ended . With one swift motion, he opened the letter Huang Rong sent him, and when he thought about it carefully, he quickly saw the clues in it that showed that it was indeed a fake .
No matter what, Huang Rong was a girl . Her words should be dainty, but the ones in the letter were very sloppily written and wild . The strokes were powerful, which made it clear that they were written by a man .
He was tricked by that bastard Chen Youliang!
Happy thought things through at a rather remote corner . Many of the questions he had had been answered by the conversation he had eavesdropped on .
‘That damn Chen Youliang… He lured me here using Guo Jing’s name, since he was thinking about more than just restricting Wudang Sect’s and Ming Cult’s hands . He wanted to kill two birds with one stone and capture me as well as get Dragon Saber from my hands .
‘This guy never gave up on his desire for Dragon Saber!’
Happy’s emotions instantly sank .
When he thought about how Chen Youliang was in cahoots with the people from the evil cult and had sent Song Yuanqiao along with the others to Sky Demon Sect, he became so anxious that he felt as if he was being burned .
The quest had progressed like that because he had made such a huge blunder!
If the injured group really fell into the hands of the people from the evil cult, it would be very difficult for Happy to save them .
But he did not know the route which the evil cult would take to send Song Yuanqiao and the others to their base .
While thinking about that, Happy suppressed the urge to rush inside, expose Chen Youliang, and kill him . He retracted his aura even more and continued listening to the conversation .
The unfamiliar voice asked, “What should we do about Happy? You won’t be able to keep this a secret forever . The letter you wrote in Huang Rong’s name won’t deceive him for long, and soon, people from Wudang Sect and Ming Cult will find their way here . ”

Chen Youliang’s tone changed . “Hmph! Happy, that brat… When we were at Spirit Snake Island, I already thought that he was a very troublesome and cunning fellow . I didn’t expect that he would be even more powerful than before . He refuses to be persuaded and doesn’t yield to force either . He shows no mercy for the evil cult, but he doesn’t show any respect for Six Doors either… I can do nothing about him . ”
“Why don’t you send a messenger pigeon and ask him to come back, then use poison…” The unfamiliar man’s voice became slightly softer .
Chen Youliang snorted coldly . “It’s useless . I heard from Song Yuanqiao that Happy obtained Wudang Sect’s Nine Yang Skill from Zhang Sanfeng and began practicing Nine Yang Divine Skill, which means he’s now resistant to all poison . If we try to poison him, we will only alarm him and reveal ourselves . ”
He stopped talking for a moment, and when he opened his mouth again, his tone became cold . “Right now, we can only give up on this place and Dragon Saber by using disguises and fake names . ”
“Using disguises and fake names? Beggar’s Sect disciples are everywhere in the world, so where are you going to hide?”
“I am acquainted with a Golden Saber Constable in Six Doors . Besides, my skills in disguise will make it easy for me to gain a steady footing in Six Doors . Later on, when the Beggar’s Sect disciples see me, they will avoid me,” Chen Youliang said spitefully . Then, he continued, “The Golden Saber Constable is about to arrive . Elder Lin, do you want to meet him with me?”
“Forget it . I have no affection for government officials . I’ll take my leave here . ”
The sound of footsteps rose . Then, the door was pushed open .
At that moment, Happy suddenly heard hissing sounds . They sounded very similar to the noise made by venomous snakes .
“Who is it?!” Elder Lin suddenly shouted when he opened the door .
Elder Lin seemed to have noticed an unfamiliar presence nearby, and he quickly shot over in that direction .
That was bad!
Happy immediately realized what was happening . Elder Lin probably had some poisonous creature which was very sensitive, and when he opened the door, it immediately sensed a strange presence .
The Beggar’s Sect disciples in the area were also alerted, and they ran over to Chen Youliang .
At the same time, the sounds of hooves thundering could be heard outside the yard .
Happy quickly realized that the Golden Saber Constable and his group had returned . There were a few shouts, and the people from Six Doors jumped into the yard and rushed over without another word .
The system quickly sent Happy a notification .
“Ding!
“You ran into the secret meeting between Chen Youliang and Elder Lin of the evil cult . Both of them want to kill you to keep their secret, so you cannot delay the matters . Immediately break out of the encirclement so that you can save Song Yuanqiao and the others . ”
Elder Lin of the evil cult clearly had extraordinary skills with poison . Before he even reached Happy, a foul stench already came crashing into his face . Once the man shot over, a light that looked like a golden thread came charging toward Happy at lightning speed .
At the same time, the Golden Saber Constable dashed over with each of his steps crossing a distance of more than thirty feet . He had changed into a new cloak, and it was fluttering loudly in the wind . Straightaway, he saw Happy dressed in handwoven clothes and a Bamboo Hat hiding his face next to the wall .
Chen Youliang rushed over to look, and his expression changed drastically .
“Brother Gold, Elder Lin, don’t let him escape!”
Even an idiot would know that the stranger had already heard their conversation, so Chen Youliang’s killing intent burst into flames .
Things had already progressed to a dangerous point, and Happy knew that he could not fight his way out with brute force . One of the enemies was an Inaction Realm martial artist with astonishing skills in poison, which made him very difficult to deal with, while another was a Golden Saber Constable, and there was also Chen Youliang, who was very skilled in scheming . There was also a group of Beggar’s Sect elites and a group of Silver Saber Constables .
Even Happy could not fight against all those people by himself .
He did not wait for them to form an encirclement . With a tap against the ground, he jumped to the wall .
The moment he landed, he pushed his palms soundlessly against the wall of the yard .
Bang!
The entire wall collapsed . Countless shattered stones shot out and covered the entire area . While the crowd below had to deal with it, Happy jumped a few times and quickly joined the people on the streets and disappeared .

A Prose of Years
For decades, spiritualist Evert Kallstrom and his team have joined in humanity’s millennia-long fight against the beasts. Wielding their weapons and their ki, they fought and killed these great threats to civilization. And yet, despite their efforts, humanity was losing traction in the war. In the last fifty years alone, more cities had been overrun than in all of known history. While most thought the great beasts natural, a few knew the terrible truth. They were the product of a dark lord, who desired neither fame nor wealth nor power. Instead, his sole purpose was the genocide of humanity. While their peers dithered, a small faction of the strongest mankind had to offer—including Evert Kallstrom and his team—set out towards the Deadlands to find and confront this dark lord. After weeks of travel, twenty-one spiritualists found themselves approaching an ancient fortress wherein rested a being known only as the Eastern Guardian. All they found was death. But death has other plans for Evert. Evert bolts awake in his 16 year old body near his hometown, decades in the past. He is confused, poor and weak. But with grit, sweat, and years of experience, he won't let the future repeat itself. That level of strength won't be enough by itself (it wasn’t last time) and victory is hardly assured (he’ll need to reach farther and higher than he ever did), but Evert refuses to squander a second chance. [Other tags: First Person POV, Hard Magic, Faulty Memory] Volume 1 is complete and has been fully released. My current intention is not to write any sequel volumes. That said, I have also released appendices (SPOILERS) that cover the worldbuilding and future story-that-never-was. Comments suggesting fixes for grammar, misspellings, etc. appreciated. Note: If you came here from Candlelit Lives, these stories have nothing in common.
