Chapter 1224: 1224
“Old man, are you going to just keep watching?!”
Right after Happy said those words, the airborne sect master of Zither Sect put on a kindly smile and shook his head . He flung his sleeve, and the invisible power of the dao of heaven that filled the valley as well as the mental pressure instantly disappeared without a trace .
The sect master was someone in the dao of heaven . Naturally, he had long since noticed Happy’s arrival .
He had remained calm and pretended to be a normal old man because Happy brought two unfamiliar ladies with him .
One of them had a low qi realm, and while the other one also had a low qi realm, her physical constitution was very unique…
What surprised him even more were the hands that wandered about the zither strings . The sect master managed to sense Wind Chimes bringing out the charm of a zither from her playing .
The sect master chose to remain calm when he noticed this . For the time being, he ignored Happy’s arrival and carefully sized up the girl with Nine Yin Blocked Pulses .
When Wind Chimes used her Nine Golden Needle Transformative Acupressure Technique to stimulate the potential in her life and forcefully increased her qi realm so that she could break the lock placed on her by him, someone in the dao of heaven, he was slightly shocked .
As expected of Nine Yin Blocked Pulses…
Even though the period of time she could increase her qi realm was not long, she had indeed managed to instantaneously bring out power that could suppress someone in the dao of heaven . In fact, her strength was equivalent to those in the dao of heaven, and this was already very impressive .
Even Happy, who was someone with astonishing talent, felt troubled by her . Naturally, the sect master found himself even happier the more he looked at her .
As he waved his hand, the power that filled the air instantly vanished without a trace .
Once she lost the pressure placed on her by the power of the dao of heaven, Wind Chimes felt her pressure lessen . Her strength slowly flowed out of her, and gradually, she regained some form of clarity in the mind in her berserk state .
When she opened her eyes, she saw something that caused her to be incredibly dumbfounded .
She had been attacking Happy .
What happened?
Wind Chimes was first stunned before she became incredibly regretful . The girl’s hot-tempered then flared up .
Clang!
The zither sounds were still excited . The near one hundred sound blades forcibly changed their direction in the air . They gave up on targeting Happy, and they traveled to the sect master in an endless stream .
The sect master’s expression remained the same .
But when the sound blades were about to get close to him, he attacked swiftly .
He moved his hand from his elbow .
Under Happy’s shocked and dumbfounded gaze, several silver threads were positioned horizontally over the sect master’s chest, and he used his other hand to pluck them swiftly .
Once he was done with the series of actions, the majestic sound blades crashed right front of him .
The sect master used his three remaining strings to pluck several zither strings on his sleeve . He used his body as the zither and the strings as zither string . He had become one with the zither!
He pushed down on them lightly .
The extraordinary zither forces that were once seen in the desert palace appeared once more .

The sounds were sonorous, giving off the feeling that they were so sturdy that they could not be destroyed . At the same time, zither forces that were extremely slick appeared in front of the sect master . All of them had a diameter spanning several feet long .
Buzz!
Countless snow-white blades with astonishing momentums cut into the sonorous zither forces which were several inches thick .
Something even more astonishing happened .
When the countless astonishing snow-white sound blades landed on the zither forces, they did not release any earth-shattering sounds . In fact, not a single qi flow spilled out when they crashed . The sound blades gathered together to form a sound river . Like mud falling into a river, they blended into the qi forces .
Not only was Wind Chimes shocked by this scene, even Happy was deeply impressed by how easily the sect master had neutralized the powerful attacks .
He knew it . Every martial art in the world of martial arts could counteract each other .
Wind Chimes’ Sky Demon Zither Technique came from Six-fingered Demonic Zither, and it could counter most martial arts as well as a lot of ultimate techniques, but before the sect master of Zither Sect, no matter what she did, it was completely useless .
She was completely countered .
Wind Chimes’ Sky Demon Zither Technique was completely countered by the sect master .
When Wind Chimes saw how easily and calmly the sect master neutralized her attacks, she was unable to continue with her attack, because her mind was already very weak .
“Cough!”
A mouthful of blood landed on the ground near her .
Splashes of blood could be seen on the grass, and it looked terrifying .
Whoosh!
In a flash, Happy appeared behind Wind Chimes .
He pressed one hand on Wind Chimes’ pack, and a mighty wave of qi was sent into her body gently to restore some of Wind Chimes’ strength .
“It has just been a few days since we met, but you have already recovered . It is a joyous thing . ”
“Thank you . Young Master Happy, you came to my house, but I have not been hospitable to you . Haha!’” The sect master might be talking to Happy, but his eyes would occasionally drift to Wind Chimes . The admiration in his eyes could not be hidden .
“I saw your impressive might during our trip to the desert . Coincidentally, I have a friend who also practices the zither . That’s why I wanted to recommend her to you . I hoped that she could learn something from you, but I didn’t expect that she would be completely helpless in front of you . She was just like a baby . ”
“Young Swordsman, you praise me too much . ”
After Happy finished speaking, the sect master’s expression instantly turned from relaxed to serious . “I entered the dao of heaven through the zither, and I have been practicing the zither for more than fifty years . The girl is still young, but she is strong . I am in awe that she already has such a foundation . I feel as if I have lived my past decades in vain . ”
When he heard the sect master’s praise for Wind Chimes, Happy finally had his heart relax .
“Girl, your achievements in the way of the zither are already outstanding . If it were not because I have been researching the zither, I might not be able to withstand your attack . ”
Those words were directed to Wind Chimes .
A red flush appeared on Wind Chimes’ pale face, but no one knew whether it was because she was feeling excited or embarrassed . After all, she had just used a secret technique she had just received a while ago . Even so, she was still far away from being able to touch someone in the dao of heaven .

“Hahahaha! Come, sit . ”
The sect master dispersed the zither forces and returned to looking like a normal old man .
“Zither Sect might seem simple and crude, but our nourishing tea is quite famous in the world of wanderers . Please, come in…”
As the sect master beckoned them over, Happy summoned Thousand-faced Human Fox and Xu Yao over . Xu Yao supported the weakened Wind Chimes, and they walked into the grass lodge .
The inside of the grass lodge was very simple, but it was clean .
There were a few cushions placed around a table .
On the table was an exquisite and small furnace . White smoke came out of it, and there was a faint fragrance from it . Anyone who took a breath of the air would find that it was filled an incense that made them relaxed and at ease .
There was a tea set on the table .
The group walked to the table .
The sect master did not continue to go through the formalities . He just chose a cushion and sat on it while he leisurely started brewing tea .
How many people would be able to drink tea brewed by someone in the dao of heaven?
Wind Chimes and Xu Yao did not even dare to breathe loudly, worried that the sounds of their breathing would interfere with the sect master’s smooth movements .
Happy was the only player in the grass lodge who remained calm .
The sect master had yet to repay his great debt he owed to him during their trip to the desert . Right now, he still had the sect master’s token with him, so it was only normal that the sect master would treat him politely . Besides, Happy had long since become desensitized to the people in the dao of heaven .
Ever since he personally killed the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance, he now wore Heavenly Demon Armor, was armed with Heaven Crystal and Tiger Soul, had Tendon Changing Classic and Marrow Cleansing Classic strengthen his body, and was practicing the Supreme Technique of the World, the way he viewed the world had become different, and he also looked at it from a different height .
To the others, the sect master of Zither Sect was someone in the dao of heaven to whom they could only look up to, but in Happy’s eyes, he was just a normal person in the dao of heaven, and he was even weaker than the alliance master .
The first cup of tea was pretty good .
The fragrance of tea traveled slowly out of the cup, and the steam looked like fog .
Happy went straight to pick it up, and he took a sip of it with dignity . He drank the cup in three different sips .
A wave of heat flowed to his limbs . Then, it turned into scorching qi that rushed straight to his Dantian region .
Happy was shocked, and his expression changed .
The system notification arrived .
“Ding!
“You drank the sect master’s nourishing tea, your qi has increased by 100 points . ”
Happy looked shocked, and his actions froze .
Then, Happy sucked in a sharp breath, and his gaze instantly turned scorching . He stared at the sect master .
“This is good tea!”
With just one cup of tea, he managed to get an increase of one hundred qi points . It was already comparable to the Large Reversion Pill from Shaolin Temple, which also happened to be their prized treasure . If he could drink a few more cups…
While Happy had his thoughts run wild and wanted to drink all the nourishing tea, the sect master seemed to have noticed his young friend’s excitement . He smiled and said, “Zither Sect’s nourishing tea can recover and nourish qi, and it can also heal the spirit . After I prepared it using a secret recipe, it can also increase a person’s qi, but that will also depend on whether the person’s qi realm is stable . ”
He stopped talking for a while before he pushed the three other cups of tea in the tea tray to Thousand-faced Human Fox, Wind Chimes, and Xu Yao . He said, “But you can’t drink too much of the nourishing tea . It will also only increase your qi during the first time you drink it . If you continue drinking it, the effects will be low . It would be better if you just trained diligently . ”
His words instantly got rid of Happy’s thoughts of drinking more of it .
At that moment, Thousand-faced Human Fox, Wind Chimes, and Xu Yao picked up their teacups and enjoyed the tea .
Happy noticed the trio’s shocked expressions . He put his cup down and started waiting quietly .
“Ah!”
“This is good tea!”
“This is good tea! Thank you for the gift, Sect Master!”
The first two gasps of surprise came from Xu Yao and Wind Chimes . When the girls drank their tea, they received system notifications telling them that their qi increased . They were incredibly shocked, and they could not hide the delight in their eyes .
Wind Chimes not only had all her injuries healed, her qi had also increased by one hundred points .
Xu Yao’s qi realm moved from the middle stage of Moksha Realm to the later stage of Moksha Realm . If she trained a little longer, she could enter Inaction Realm, so she had truly obtained a great leap .
But in comparison, Thousand-faced Human Fox’s blessing was the greatest .
Thousand-faced Human Fox had obtained an increase of 120 qi points . His face flushed red, and the spark in his eyes grew brighter . The amazing effects of the nourishing tea had pushed him to the peak of Myth Realm! In excitement, he thanked the sect master .
The sect master stroked his beard and smiled .
“If you have anyone you need to thank, you should thank your master . If it weren’t for your master, it would be impossible for me to give you this blessing . But we can only produce so much nourishing tea in a year, and I can only serve you one pot . This pot of nourishing tea can only be distributed to six cups . Young Swordsman Happy, I will have to let you take care of the rest . ”
The remaining two cups worth of tea remained in the small jade pot . He pushed it in front of Happy .
Happy nodded .
“Thank you for the great gift . ”
“Young Swordsman Happy, you did something great for my sect while we were in the desert . I’m ashamed to only show you such simple hospitality . ” Even if the sect master said these things, Happy and his group did not think that he had just treated them with the normal way of how a host would usually treat his guests . The value of the tea had even surpassed that of Fire Qilin Blood, and he even said that he could only produce one pot .
After they were done with the tea ceremony, they went to talk business .

War, Honor and Vengeance
In a world where there is no right or wrong, justice and injustice, good or evil, it is the world where only the strong persists while the weak slaves. A world filled with lies, treachery and betrayal. There is no two way. Only one way. One way to either Hell or Heavens. Some call it Destiny, some call it Providence, others call it The God’s Will. But I call it Fate. My arch-nemesis. Something so invisible, out-of-reach and strong, that no matter how much you fight, there seems no end. But tell me, will you succumb to your fate, as others rise on it. Tell me, will you let your family, your children, your wives be slaughtered and slaved on this so-called Fate. No. War. In a world where lives are nothing more than livestock, either you rise up and rule in passion or go down in flames. Will you stay mum and accept this so-called Fate and be slaughtered by your enemies, or will you rise up. Wealth, fame, fortune, desires are not ever-lasting. Only War is eternal. Vengeance. In a world where with no rights and wrong, the weak would be preyed upon while the strong will wreak havoc. But, will you accept your fate of being weak…. No. You rise up and exact revenge for all the wrongs done to you. You rise for Vengeance. Honor. Honor… something which runs deep within our blood, but yet forgotten in dust. Something, so intangible, so frail, yet so over-powering. Villains justify it as useless, Lords deem it as unnecessary and Kings mock it as worthless, but yet, it flows ever so deeply within. Deeply… like our thirst of wealth and power. Without this so-called useless, worthless and unnecessary piece of intangible force, we, as Knights are nothing but mere foot soldiers. So, rise up! Rise Up! RISE UP, my Knights. For War! For Vengeance! For Honor!!!! ………………………………………………………… The release rates are going to be a bit sloppy with my college entrance exams upcoming, so please don’t be angry, my avid readers.
