Chapter 1147: Running Into Wan Wan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After he obtained Heaven Crystal and fought against Jian Ao, Happy’s strength had increased by a large degree. Right now, even if he ran into a true martial artist who was in the dao of heaven, Happy believed that he had the ability to fight against him.

Besides, he had Heaven Crystal, a sleuth of ultimate techniques, Sun Finger and Hourly Sword Technique still had a lot of room for improvement, and his strength was still in a period of time where it would increase quickly. The Amazing Log of the Seas and Mountains was indeed not important to him.

Even though the information in the countries abroad were very important to Happy, even if the book fell into Thousand-faced Human Fox’s hands, it was still the same as it being in his hands. At the very least, this person would be in his control for half a year, and Happy would definitely not be stingy when it came to treating his subordinates.

“Alright.” Happy agreed to it. “Since you like it, I don’t mind giving you the book.”

“Thank you, master!”

Thousand-faced Human Fox was delighted. He quickly wrapped his fist in his palm and thanked Happy.

“Don’t mention it,” said Happy with a fling of his sleeve. “Since you have the Amazing Log of the Seas and Mountains, when we leave the Chinese plains in the future, I will need to rely on your guidance in many things. You don’t have to be polite with me.”

“I will definitely keep my promise. Within half a year, I will risk my life for you regardless of the cost.” Thousand-faced Human Fox sword earnestly, and with a flip of his hand, the book was put away in his sleeve. It vanished without a trace.

“With the Amazing Log of the Seas and Mountains, it will be much easier to locate Dragon Gate Inn and the ruins of the palace in the desert. Master, look, should I immediately read the map and search for the place where Dragon Gate Inn’s ruins are so that we can find the treasures in the desert palace?” Thousand-faced Human Fox’s words caused Happy to feel excited. “Are you saying that even without my help, you can activate the map on your own and help me locate Dragon Gate Inn?”

“Of course.”

Thousand-faced Human Fox looked at Happy with a dumbfounded expression, as if he could not understand why Happy said those words. “I’m the best at searching for ruins and treasures. I don’t need your help.”

‘I knew it!’

Happy was delighted.

If Thousand-faced Human Fox could activate the treasure map, Happy would not need to use up his Legendary Point!

Based on the difficulty in clearing the puzzle in the Mountain Villa of Ten Thousand Beasts and the danger in it, Happy knew just how difficult it was to obtain World of Martial Arts Legendary Points. If he could keep it, it would naturally be for the best.

But..

“It’s not the time for us to activate the treasure map just yet. Before I head to West Region, I need to head to Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction. At the same time, I have to search for a person.”

Happy changed the topic of conversation.

“Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction…” When Thousand-faced Human Fox heard this, he quirked an eyebrow, but soon, he returned to normal. “I will listen to your orders, master.”

When he saw this, Happy smiled faintly. “Do you dare come with me to Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction?

“Wherever you go, I will go. I cannot break my oaths. Besides, the person who stole the faction master token of Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction is Thousand-faced Human Fox, not Ten Thousand Years’ Vengeance,” Thousand-faced Human Fox answered firmly. He looked confident, but Happy did not know whether he was confident in his skills in disguising himself, or his lightness skill.

“What if you are recognized by the faction master of Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction?”

“Even if she manages to recognize my lightness skill, the faction master will not know who I am. Besides, I am currently your follower. For your sake, she will not cause trouble to me. I believe you will not watch me be treated roughly by the people in Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction,” Thousand-faced Human Fox said confidently.

“As expected of one of the four Divine Thieves in the world of wanderers. You’re really cunning.” Happy smiled.

“Thank you for the praise, master.”

“Alright. Come with me to Yin Weed Faction first, then we’ll go to Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction.” Happy decided to first obtain one of the stone plates from Evil King.

After all, he turned all of Sword Sect into his enemy for this stone plate. If he did not reap the benefits, the loss would outweigh the gains.

“Yin Weed Faction?” Thousand-faced Human Fox gave him a surprised gaze.

“Master, are you searching for the strongest of the evil cult, Evil King?”

Happy nodded and asked, “Have you gone there before?”

“I didn’t just visit the righteous sects in the world of martial artists. I’ve also gone to the eight sects of the evil cult before. But the Bewitching Notes in Yin Weed Note are very difficult to deal with. I’ve never gone inside before. The evil cults are much more alert than those of the righteous sects. They have a lot of spies, and they have a lot of traps in the places important to them. It’s difficult to invade their sects. I don’t have a lot of knowledge regarding the evil cult.”

Happy nodded in understanding.

Sky Demon Sect was already filled with traps, to the point that there were traps in every step he took. If he took a misstep, he would end up at death’s door. Plenty of martial artists had died there. In comparison, the righteous sects were always open to visitors, and their security was definitely like night and day compared to the security measures from those in the evil cult.

“Let’s go to Yin Weed Faction.”

*****

When they nearly reached Yin Weed Faction’s sect, Wan Wan intercepted them ahead of time.

“I see, it’s you, Miss Wan Wan.”

As Happy sized up the barefooted teenager who was as alluring as Eve, he spoke calmly, “The evil cult does indeed have marvellous abilities. I’ve just reached your territory, and you discovered me. Did your mistress ask you to receive me?”

Wan Wan always stared at the strong with an incredibly resentful gaze. It was tempting and alluring, and by the looks of it, her skills had improved once more. Thousand-faced Human Fox widened his eyes by the side, and he looked as if he was completely taken by her.

“Sect Master Happy, is that your friend?”

Wan Wan did not answer Happy’s question immediately. Instead, she took her time in observing Thousand-faced Human Fox, who was currently disguised as a normal and young martial artist. He followed Happy, and even though he was a follower, Wan Wan did not dare underestimate the people beside Happy.

No matter what, Thousand-faced Human Fox was a martial artist at the later stage of Myth Realm and could open his own sect. Aside from being a little sleazy, he also had the presence of an elite, albeit it was faint on him.

“He is my follower. If you have something to say, you can go on ahead and say it.”

“Sect Master Happy, you are indeed the most outstanding of the young heroes. Even your follower is an unfathomable elite. I found that I’m beginning to admire you even more now.”

“Do you want to be my follower as well?”

“I am weak. Even if I want to, you will definitely not take a fancy of my abilities, so I shall not have such wild hopes…” Wan Wan had teased Xu Zhiling in the past because he was not very strong, but she admired him in terms of his temperament, but when she did not dare to act recklessly when it came to Happy, because he could face her mistress head on and was even a powerful martial artist Evil King regarded highly. She could hold her ground when it came to Happy!

She quickly diverted the topic.

“My mistress and Evil King know that you’re outside the sect, and they had me come to deliver their message. Also, they wanted me to give you something.”

As she spoke, Wan Wan brought out a stone plate as white as jade. It appeared on her palm like magic.

At the moment the white stone plate appeared, Happy’s attention was instantly fixed on it. Even Thousand-faced Human Fox, who was staring at Wan Wan with an indecent gaze by the side, had his eyes focus on the stone. Then, he completely forgot about the beauty. Shock filled his face, and he mumbled, “This is… a Caturapramāṇāḥ Stone…”

“Young Master Happy, your follower is indeed extraordinary. Evil King only managed to recognize this after researching it for a long time, and your follower managed to identify it with just one sentence. Might I know your name so that I might admire you?”

“What is the message your mistress wanted me to receive?”

Happy’s gaze remained on the stone plate, but his tone was incredibly indifferent.

Wan Wan was shocked.

“These are my mistress and Evil King’s words. Evil King said that you are the strongest in the evil cult, because you honored your promise in killing Sword Sect’s master and obtaining his head. Naturally, he will not break his promise. He had me bring the stone plate to you as part of his promise.”

As she spoke, she flicked her wrist gently, and the stone plate shot towards Happy.

Thud.

Happy’s expression did not change. He easily caught the stone plate.

The system notification rang clearly in his mind.

“Ding!

“Completed quest. You obtained your quest reward as Evil King kept his promise. It is one of the four stone plates of the divine monk…”

While Thousand-faced Human Fox stared at the stone plate with great longing, Happy cast it a faint glance and put the stone plate into his bag. He cast his gaze on Wan Wan once more.

“Miss Wan Wan, did Evil King send you out to deliver the item because he is not willing to see me and wants me to leave after taking it?”

If those words came from someone else’s mouth, Thousand-faced Human Fox and Wan Wan would definitely laugh until they fell on their knees. But when it came from Happy’s mouth, he made it sound as if that was the case.

Wan Wan turned her body slightly to the side.

“Sect Master Happy, you speak too strongly. My mistress has gained some epiphanies after she returned from Song House, and when you came, she is coincidentally in isolated training. Evil King is serving as her Dharma protector and cannot leave, which is why he cannot receive. That’s also why he had me come and meet you so that he would not be a poor host. He also said that when you drop by next time, he will definitely welcome you with open arms.” Her final sentence was her tactfully sending Happy off.

When Happy heard this, he frowned a little, and warning bells rang in his heart.

Zhu Yuyan was in isolated training, and Evil King was serving as her Dharma Protector.

By the looks of it, Yin Weed Faction was about to have a martial artist at the dao of heaven guarding it. Next time, if he wanted to come to Yin Weed Faction to train, he would have to think about it carefully.

He could fight on par against one martial artist at the dao of heaven, but no force of power in the world of wanderers could fight on par with two elites at the dao of heaven.

Happy immediately got rid of his idea of staying in the place. He said loudly, “If that’s the case, please deliver my message as well. I hope that Empress Yin will be able to achieve a breakthrough soon. Goodbye.”

“I will definitely deliver your words, Young Master Happy.”

Wan Wan gave him light curtsy.

Happy did not linger in the face. He led Thousand-faced Human Fox away.

When they were several miles away from Yin Weed Faction’s nest, Happy suddenly turned around and stared at Thousand-faced Human Fox.

“Ten Thousand Years.”

“Your orders, master?”

“You’ve wandered in the lands for a long time, you should know what sort of method those from the evil cult use to find us.” Happy was still bothered by how he was discovered ahead of time.

Even though Wan Wan’s arrival could not form a threat to him, Happy was still worried that Hu Baiwan would use the same method to intercept him when he went to West Region to search for the ruins of Dragon Gate Inn.

The richest man in the world was incredibly mysterious, and he never had a lot of talented people by his side. Since he dared to set up the Chinese world of martial artists, it meant that the foundation of his strength might be as great as the evil cult.

Thousand-faced Human Fox thought about this for a few seconds before he answered, “The evil cult has a lot of methods. Normal people will find it difficult to discover their sentries and hidden sentries. I don’t know how I should start talking about this to you either. But usually, when I run into this sort of situation, I will use some disguises and medicine that will erase my scent to vanish.”
