Chapter 1212: Flame Wolf Wakes Up

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As Peach Blossom and Immortal stared at the man-made sandstorm and the blurry situation ahead of them, the two women felt as if they were about to suffer a mental breakdown.

Behind them were hundreds of people from everywhere. For some reason, they had suddenly rushed out of the Guanlin Temple a moment, completely fearless of death. They gathered around Flame Wolf, who still had Tiger Soul in his hands, and they caused Flame Town to descend into chaos. Flame Wolf started a massacre.

Right now, before they managed to subjugate the people in the town, Happy suddenly did this.

Happy had attacked repeatedly and destroyed more than half of the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique. A number of Wild Wolves had died mysteriously in the sandstorm, and they could not even see what was inside clearly. The ones remaining fled the sandstorm while injured, and the matrix crumbled.

The inside and outside of the town descended into chaos within a short period of time, and the situation went out of their control.

Peach Blossom and Immortal’s expressions changed repeatedly.

Originally, the borders of the Chinese plains was their blessed place. As long as they left this area, they would be free. As long as they left Flame Town, they could then declare complete ownership over Tiger Soul, and they would be the final victors of the former Dragon Gate Inn quest.

But they did not expect that Happy would use the environment in the desert to easily break the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique formed by eighty-one elite Wild Wolves.

At that moment, a messenger pigeon descended from the sky.

Peach Blossom’s eyes lit up. Then, they quickly turned dimmed.

Even though she hoped that she could receive her leader’s guidance while she was lost, when she thought about how closely her leader had been keeping watch over this situation on the other side and when she saw the mess over here, her expression instantly turned incredibly complicated. It was the same for Immortal.

Boom!

Several sword qis shot out of the dancing sandstorm, and it coincidentally brushed past the two women. These two women were shocked, and they quickly shot into the town.

On their way there, Immortal asked her anxiously, “Hurry up and read what the leader said in the letter!”

Peach Blossom acted immediately. While she moved, she avoided the sentient sword glare that chased after them from the sandstorm. Meanwhile, she opened the letter.

After casting it a glance, her expression turned very dark.

Immortal had been paying attention to Peach Blossom. When she noticed the change in her expression, unease flashed in her eyes, but she pushed it down. “What’s in the letter?”

“The leader asked us to retreat.”

Peach Blossom looked up with a pale face and said something that caused Immortal to be dumbfounded. It also caused the Wild Wolves in the area to be taken off guard.

Retreat?

To obtain Tiger Soul, Wild Wolves had specifically mobilized two hundred elites from Asia, and they rushed over to the desert day and night for several days. They set up the people in the Chinese plains, destroyed all the people from Wind Assault Tower, killed Dongfang Bubai, severely wounded the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance, sacrificed more than one hundred people, and finally got to where they were…

And they were supposed to give up?!

Quite a number of people felt gloomy. They stared at the sandstorm that continuously pushed toward the town, and their gazes were grave. They were also filled with loathing.

“Did the leader say anything else?”

The one who could not accept this order the most was Immortal. Her chest heaved, and her face was livid. She gritted her teeth as she hissed the question.

This time, when they came to the Chinese plains, they brought together thirteen groups of elites who knew how to form the Forbidden Daiya Technique. The crowd had been in high-spirits and were very smug when they heavily injured the alliance master and killed Dongfang Bubai. They had been very satisfied with themselves. In fact, they had once thought about getting into the Chinese plains to kill Happy and wash away the humiliation they suffered in his hands.

But right when they entered the borders of the desert, Happy had destroyed the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique by himself and his sword. If anyone else were in their place, they would find it hard to accept this great disparity in strength as well.

Peach Blossom cast her a glance in understanding, and her tone was filled with bitterness.

“The leader said that while the Great Forbidden Daiya Technique is strong, it’s not stable. It only has power, so it can’t be used against Happy. He wants us to retreat immediately, and we can only give up on Tiger Soul!”

Peach Blossom said the last phrase firmly.

Once she finished speaking, Peach Blossom cast Immortal a deep look before she looked around.

“AH!”

“ACK!”

Two more of their companions’ corpses were thrown out of the roaring sandstorm.

“Everyone, this is an order to all of you! The leader has ordered us to give up on Flame Wolf and retreat from the Chinese plains immediately!” Her voice was like thunder as it echoed above Flame Town. All the Wild Wolves in Flame Town froze when they heard Peach Blossom’s voice, and they had disbelief appear on their faces.

Then, once Peach Blossom repeated Evil Emperor’s orders again, the people stopped whatever they were originally doing reluctantly and gave up on attacking the enemies in front of them. They left the battlefield one after another and left Flame Town as well.

Silver Wolf and his party originally faced a lot of pressure in Flame Town. They had to rely solely on the Four Matchless Sword Formation to fight against the elite Wild Wolves and stall for time.

Of course, the Chinese players who had been stirred up to fight also contributed a lot. They died multiple times, but they would immediately come out of the Guanlin Temple and throw themselves into the fight again. No matter how their strengths were like, they just stuck themselves to the Wild Wolves like glue, and they managed to get rid of some of the pressure Silver Wolf and his party faced.

These people might not be able to fight against Wild Wolves, but with Flame Wolf and Tiger Soul to serve as human slaughter machines, the Wild Wolves were unable to control the situation at all. Once someone came out to throw chaos into the situation, they would definitely fall into a disorderly mess. Then, their mission became more dangerous, and their people also died unnecessary deaths.

However, as more players died, the main pressure still gathered once more on Silver Wolf and his party.

In fact, the party of four were even prepared to die at any moment and were going to use Illusion Life and Death Pills to get out of the Guanlin Temple.

But fortunately, before their side crumbled completely, the Wild Wolves were the ones who were the first to be unable to continue fighting. They gave the order to retreat.

“You’re leaving?”

“Bastards! If you have the guts, don’t run!”

Right after the Wild Wolves moved, the people who had been suppressed for a long time had their spirits lift. Even if their bodies were incredibly weak, they were very vigorous as they cursed at them.

The Wild Wolves always carried out their orders immediately after they received it. Naturally, they would not stop moving just because of the curses behind them. They did not stop. Instead, they quickly retreated from the battlefield.

The people in Flame Town became even more excited. Many of the people who ran out of the Guanlin Temple even chased after them out of Flame Town. They were so lively and smug that they looked as if they had managed to scare the Wild Wolves away.

But soon, a group of people quickly surrounded Silver Wolf and his party.

“Hey!”

“Big Brother Silver Wolf, what you said just now still holds true, right?”

“That’s right, you mentioned that as long as we helped you, you’ll introduce us into Lovely Land…”

The group surrounded Silver Wolf very enthusiastically, as if they were afraid that he would go back on his promise.

Silver Wolf did not know whether he should laugh or cry.

Flame Wolf and Tiger Soul were still out there, but these people did not even care about Tiger Soul. Or rather, was Lovely Land’s charm even greater than Tiger Soul?

Naturally, that was not the case.

But this time, the Wild Wolves were too ruthless and vicious. They brought more than two hundred elites in here and instantly controlled Flame Town. They had even managed to defeat Dongfang Bubai and the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance. This lineup had brought a sort of despair to the people in Flame Town.

What caused them greater despair was the ability in Tiger Soul to control its wielder’s mind.

Flame Wolf was a top-class player, but he was controlled by Tiger Soul, and he lost his mind. Many people were now incredibly wary of the saber. Even if they did manage to get Tiger Soul, it was pointless. They could not use it as they would usually do other weapons, and they would even end up as puppets. This caused everyone to have their interest in Tiger Soul to completely disappear.

Instead, after Happy’s identity was revealed, they also learned that he went into the desert alone and entered the desert palace with the eight people in the dao of heaven. He had fought against the alliance master alone, and when they compared his legendary encounter to the unprecedented number of people the Wild Wolves sent into the Chinese plains this time, they found that Happy’s experience was even more dazzling. It caused the people in Flame Town to gain a deeper understanding toward the mysteriousness and strength of Lovely Land’s sect master.

Many people started discussing among themselves while they were in the Guanlin Temple. Happy was the only player when he entered the desert palace. Did he manage to get any treasures when he came out of the desert palace?

Could those treasures be the same as Heavenly Saber Song Que’s legacy? Was he going to put the treasures from the desert palace into Lovely Land’s sect storage as well?

Many people had their imaginations run wild.

Hence, when Silver Wolf and his party started calling the people in the Gualin Temple to action, a lot of people did not even ask for rewards. They just wanted Silver Wolf to serve as their recommendation and help them join Lovely Land!

They believed that since Silver Wolf and his party were Happy’s only helpers in the desert this time, their words must carry a certain degree of weight in front of Happy. They should have quite a lot of authority as well in Lovely Land.

If they did not fight for their opportunities right now, when they were ever going to start?

This time, Silver Wolf was really caught in his own trap.

The Wild Wolves retreated, and immediately after that, he was surrounded tightly by a group of enthusiastic players.

He could only watch as Flame Wolf chased after the Wild Wolves.

If he did not see Happy jumping over from outside the town and started chasing after Flame Wolf without stopping, Silver Wolf might find himself completely speechless right now.

The Wild Wolves were really resolute when it came to them coming and leaving a place.

They left behind one person who was unfortunate enough to be targeted by Flame Wolf. The others split up to run into the Chinese plains or into the depths of the desert.

Happy calmly waited for the unlucky Wild Wolf to be killed by a single stroke from Flame Wolf. Then, he continued waiting in a relaxed fashion as Flame Wolf turned his head around.

“Roar!”

Tiger Soul’s brutal killing intent was still as strong as ever.

When he noticed Flame Wolf’s gaze locking down on him, Happy felt as if he was targeted by a fierce beast. A tiger’s roar rose faintly in his ears, and he frowned a little.

Thud!

He quickly stood still.

Happy’s mood instantly became as calm as water once more. True qi surrounded his entire body faintly, and his spirit sense discreetly went to envelope Flame Wolf.

Flame Wolf had already lost his mind, but at the moment he faced Happy, he seemed to have sensed a presence that caused him to feel that Happy was danger, and he felt uneasy. He did not react swiftly, just like he did when he hunted down normal players.

Under Happy’s slightly surprised gaze, Flame Wolf slowed down. He bared his teeth and let out an uneasy and impatient growl. Tiger Soul suddenly had its bloody red hue turn dimmer, and its savage presence also faded away by quite the large margin.

Flame Wolf’s gaze suddenly became a little clearer at that moment as well.

“Hmm?”

Since Happy’s spirit sense was powerful, he instantly sensed the change in Flame Wolf’s body. His gaze changed a little.

Could it be that Flame Wolf had regained his mind after killing for half a day?

Right when this far-fetched thought appeared in Happy’s mind, Flame Wolf actually managed to regain control of his body. The bloodthirsty brutality was completely gone from his eyes, and his savage expression slowly faded away to reveal a dumbfounded and surprised look.

“What’s going on?”

Flame Wolf appeared to be taken aback.

He lowered his head and sized up his hand with a curious look. He also sensed the endless waves of power given to him by the heavy Tiger Soul. He did not manage to snap out of his shock.

While he was controlled by Tiger Soul, Flame Wolf had actually never lost his consciousness. He just could not speak and could not do anything. But he could see everything in front of him clearly, including how he had been hunting down his own comrades.

In the beginning, he was delighted, then, he was terrified. Gradually, that terror turned into apathy, and in the end, when he ran into Happy, he felt resigned, and despair filled his heart.

But at the moment his despair reached its peak, Flame Wolf noticed something that puzzled him to no end.

He had actually managed to regain his control. He moved his fingers a little. Then, the system notification rose in his mind.
