Chapter 620: Destroying Things One by One
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In truth, from the moment Phantasmal Shadow met Happy, she felt a sense of pressure from this humble, extremely powerful, and quiet Mu Clan’s mastermind, which was something she rarely experienced .
She had only ever felt it before One Emperor and Dream Clouds .
But the pressure she felt from them was slightly different .
She admired and envied One Emperor purely because of his strength, but when it came to Dream Clouds, which she acknowledged and who impressed her with her power and methods, she also regarded her with slight disdain!
But when it came to Happy, as her understanding toward him increased, Phantasmal Shadow kept feeling that he was continuously perfecting himself and getting stronger .
In the beginning, he killed other players and wandered about the game like a rash hothead, but later on, he secured his position as the top-ranked player on Famous People Rank, and this fame gave him the name of a great hero . After that, Mu Clan appeared, and he was gradually enveloped by a grand ambition, which reminded Phantasmal Shadow of herself .
Then, when he fought against Class One Hall with his strength and wits, the charm and calmness of a mature man appeared around this young man who was slightly younger than her . But now…
He was growing at a speed so unimaginable that she could not get it out of her mind!
Even though she was still confident that she could rise to power, the difficulty of reaching Happy, who had used his own strength to slowly gain people’s acknowledgement and fight his way to his current spot, was so high that she could no longer describe her emotions toward him as simple admiration .
It was especially so when she met Happy this time .
With Nine Yang Divine Skill, he was like an unfathomable sea, making her sigh with a myriad of emotions while a faint hint of respect took root in her .
It was the first time she had that sort of feeling since she came to the game .
Hence, she had the urge to display her strengths while she journeyed with him .
She did not want Happy to treat her like a normal person . The desire of having Happy admire her filled her mind .

During their way there, Phantasmal Shadow carefully observed the situation around her . She focused and analyzed all the hidden information around her with all her power .
She quickly figured out many things from the arrangement from the three palaces and halls in Sky Demon Sect as well as the sparring session between the multiple evil cult disciples in the training ground .
“This might be the real Sky Demon Sect . No, this is certainly the real Sky Demon Secret Cave!”
While Phantasmal Shadow observed the area around her, she quickly analyzed the situation in an orderly fashion .
“The clothes of the Sky Demon Sect disciples are differentiated into six colors: purple, white, blue, black, gold, and green .
“Only those with a high status can enter and stay in the palaces . Three palaces and three halls… If my guess is correct, Sky Demon Sect has at least six elites who are elders guarding this place .
“This means that we will need to face more than one hundred Moksha Realm elites and six Inaction Realm martial artists!”
The people from Wind Assault Tower sucked in sharp breaths, and they looked toward Happy and Momo .
Their expressions were very calm . They did not seem to be surprised by the difficulty of Sky Demon Secret Cave . However, they were still shocked by how certain Phantasmal Shadow sounded and how she could decipher so much information within such a short time .
There had been three Inaction Realm martial artists in the place that contained Song Yuanqiao, so it was not that surprising for there to be six Inaction Realm martial artists guarding Sky Demon Secret Cave . It was, in fact, very natural for there to be such a number .
Phantasmal Shadow’s clear and solemn voice continued to ring in Happy and the others’ ears .
“There is a golden bell on top of the palace right in front of the others . I wonder if you noticed it . ” Phantasmal Shadow’s eyes shone, and she said with a solemn tone, “That golden bell definitely isn’t a bell that will ring to call people for their meals . I saw this when I was in Amazing Items Tower .
“It’s a golden bell whose bell tolls can spread through a very high distance, and it can even penetrate secret chambers! The large sects only use it when they run into emergencies, and they will usually place it at a high place to serve as a warning .

“I’ll say this boldly . I believe that the evil cult elders are conducting isolated training in secret chambers while the evil cult disciples spar against each other every day . Even if we slaughter our way over, those elders will not be alerted . But if someone takes the initiative to ring the bell, we will have to face the attacks from at least six Inaction Realm martial artists . ”
Wu Kuo and the others treated Phantasmal Shadow like a god and trusted her fully, but they looked at Happy nervously . “There’s only seven of us here, so it’s completely impossible for us to fight against six Inaction Realm martial artists at the same time…”
“We can’t win this fight!”
“That might not necessarily be true . ”
Phantasmal Shadow quickly spoke up to interrupt Wu Kuo and the others . “If we can guard that golden bell, perhaps we can buy time to destroy those elders one by one . ”
“Destroy them one by one?” A cold look appeared on Momo’s face . “You want us to kill more than one hundred Moksha Realm evil cult disciples in this valley before we kill six Inaction Realm martial artists one by one? Are you saying that they will give us the chance?”
“I observed the situation just now . The distance between the three palaces and halls is rather great . There is no one outside the palace either, because all the evil cult disciples are at the training ground . There’s only one golden bell as well . I’ll say that we have the chance!”
Phantasmal Shadow did not seem to have prepared a second veil . She displayed her matchless beauty generously before the others, and she had her face turned to Happy . There was a resolution and firmness in her eyes that did not suit her face .
“If you think so, you can lead your party to guard the golden bell . Momo and I will handle the evil cult disciples at the training ground . ”
“Alright!”
When Phantasmal Shadow faced Happy’s noncommittally calm gaze, she agreed without hesitation . Then, she added . “If someone attacks the golden bell, will Wind Assault Tower have the right to get a part of Sky Demon Secret Cave’s treasures?”
“Heh…” Happy smiled and nodded before he said, “Sure… but that will depend on how much you want . ”
His words made Wu Kuo and the others delighted, but Phantasmal Shadow clearly did not expect that Happy would answer this way .
She had thought that Happy would be skeptical of her judgment or regard it in disdain and she would have to rely on the situation to take a gamble later on to obtain more leverage when it came to the distribution of resources .
But based on Happy’s tone, it seemed like he was very certain that the golden bell would be hit .
Phantasmal Shadow then fell into contemplation .
She subconsciously lowered the allotment she originally set in her heart by a large degree and said, “How about one-third of it?”
The people from Wind Assault Tower did not speak .
But Momo was displeased!
Just like how Wu Kuo and the others regarded Phantasmal Shadow highly, Momo trusted in Happy’s judgment . She noticed that Happy had been staring at the golden bell for a long time, and she naturally knew just how important it was . However, she scoffed at Phantasmal Shadow’s request .
“Hmph, you seem to have forgotten that if we didn’t attack, you wouldn’t have been able to escape from the Fire Qilin . Once you’re out of danger, you forget who helped you, huh? You’re immediately demanding us to give you one-third of the resources in Sky Demon Secret Cave? Happy, let’s not work with these people . I can guard the golden bell myself!”
When she reached the later half of her rant, she did not even look at Phantasmal Shadow and her people’s reaction .
The faces of Wu Kuo and the others grew red, but they were caught in a situation where it was difficult for them to say anything .
Phantasmal Shadow felt incredibly aggrieved . Logically speaking, even though the four’s strength could not compare to that of Mu Clan, they were only asking for one-third of the loot, so she made this offer while thinking about how Mu Clan had helped them . But when Momo mentioned the earlier encounter, she did feel a little horrible .

But is simply knowing all there is to life? Can he strive for more? Should he? (Writer's Note:) I'm a pretty new writer, so expect delays, errors, inconsistent logic, plot holes the size of a small 4-wheeled vehicle, and a distinct lack of snark. At least from the MC. Also, yes, the cover is an image I made in paint. I have...NO artistic skills. It is a placeholder. Also, I came up with this idea in the shower after a nine-hour RRL binge. SO BEAR WITH ME.
