599 The Worst Plan

Happy, Silver Wolf, Little North, Momo, Wind Chimes, and All-powerful Medicinal Stone, who arrived late, stood quietly at the entrance of Sky Demon Sect while they waited for the people from Snow Eagle Group to exit the place.

Happy then took the initiative to look at the person who seemed like the spokesperson and say, "I represent Mu Clan in this and would like to thank you for your understanding and supporting Mu Clan in our quest this time."

The group master of Snow Eagle Group was a very normal man. His bearing could not even compare to that of Snow Wolf and the others, but his courteous smile made the others unable to dislike him.

The man swept his gaze over Silver Wolf, Little North, and the others' faces before his eyes quickly returned to Happy's Bamboo Hat. He smiled, not daring to be inattentive.

"Brother, you're too courteous. We're just a local group, and we can enter Sky Demon Sect at any moment we want. But Mu Clan came from far away, and if we continued to occupy it, it would be unreasonable."

He stopped talking for a moment and laughed. "Alright, I won't waste your precious time anymore. My friends, let's go. As for you, have a pleasant time inside."

Even though the group was still a little puzzled, there was Silver Wolf and three other elites around. It was enough to prove Happy's status, and they left readily.

Snow Eagle Group quickly left Sky Demon Sect under Happy and the others' gazes.

Towering Palace was gone by then. Even if Snow Eagle Group left a bit later, not only would it not affect their morale, the people in the area could sense the contrast between the two when the group master talked to Mu Clan's Happy without any hostility.

Happy and his party did not stay for long at the entrance of Sky Demon Sect!

They looked around the area before they turned around and entered Sky Demon Sect.

They did not deliver any threats, but the scattered elites at the entrance stood outside in a daze for a long time. No one followed them inside.

*****

The inside of Sky Demon Sect was made up of dark and quiet tunnels illuminated by torches. They allowed to see some corpses and skeletons of Sky Demon Sect disciples and apostles on the way.

Broken items covered in dust and spider webs were everywhere in the tunnels. From that, it was not hard to deduce that Sky Demon Sect had been in a ragged state before they were even destroyed by the other sects.

Happy might have entered Sky Demon Sect for the first time in this life, but he had come to it multiple times in his previous life, and he was very familiar with the place. He traveled at his fastest speed while quickly giving orders.

"Silver Wolf, you're in charge of opening the path. Wind Chimes, help kill the Sky Demon Sect disciples and apostles on the way. We can't linger around too long. There will definitely be others who will enter Sky Demon Sect, and we cannot allow too many people to learn about our quest. That's why, we have to use the shortest amount of time possible to enter the front hall."

"Alright!"

The five people might not understand why Happy cared so much about their trip to Sky Demon Sect, but the few operations he had launched since he entered the game had never been without purpose. He definitely had his reasons this time as well.

The five did not dare to be careless. They ran at full speed behind him.

Evil cult disciples soon charged out of the shadows in the corners, but they were all struck down by sound attacks that went rushing at them before they could even get close. They were mercilessly pinned to the ground.

"You don't need to kill them. Leave some alive. They can help us buy time," Happy quickly ordered.

Wind Chimes nodded. She then used demonic sounds to only trap the NPCs, and the group moved past them without stopping. They quickly vanished from the sights of the evil cult disciples.

"Wind Chimes, replenish your qi. You must constantly make sure that you're at the peak of your condition and full of qi."

"Got it."

"Everyone, do the same. We must make sure we're in the best condition!" Happy's tone was grave while he switched to his fourth-echelon Golden Armor Set.

All-powerful Medicinal Stone followed the group closely. Based on Happy's actions and how he did not mince his words, he gradually gained a notion that the quest they were about to do was not something common.

Even when they were at the royal mausoleum, Happy had never been that serious. Before they even entered the front hall, he was already fully geared and ready for battle.

It was also the first time Little North and Silver Wolf saw Happy so serious.

They did not dare to be careless and quickly switched to their best gear as well. Even Momo and Wind Chimes switched to the gear that they seldom used.

One of them was a famous set that focused on flexibility and increasing movement speed, while the other was Colorful Phoenix Dress, which was a grade one equipment that tailors could make. At fourth echelon, its defense was far ahead of current grade one masterpieces.

Even though it did not provide any additional stats, with Wind Chimes' abilities, she only needed high defense…

The tunnel in Sky Demon Sect was very long, and they needed to make a few turns to reach the front hall. The way was filled with traps, and it took more than ten minutes to pass through everything.

While going through there, Little North was finally unable to hold himself back and asked Happy, who ran at the front, "Boss, just what sort of secret is contained in Sky Demon Sect? Why are you so cautious?"

"That's right. Silver Wolf and I've already come here a few times, and there doesn't seem to be anything special about the place." Wind Chimes had quite a few great questions in her heart.

Silver Wolf, Momo, and All-powerful Medicinal Stone also looked at Happy with attentive expressions.

'In my previous life, once you activated Sky Demon Secret Cave, there would be many vicious fights…'

Of course, Happy could not answer in this fashion.

When he saw everyone's interest, he thought about it for a bit while rushing forward at a great speed. When he organized his words, he spoke without turning his head around.

"I don't know the specifics either, but the evil cult stood up for Sky Demon Sect in this martial arts tournament, so many Inaction Realm martial artists appeared to fight us. Even Shi Zhixuan and Zhu Yuyan, who are in Myth Realm, showed up.

"If we activate Sky Demon Secret Cave, we might run into some of the bosses from the evil cult, so we must be extremely careful!"

"Myth Realm?"

Little North hissed when he heard that, and his expression became incredibly unpleasant.

Even though he could fight against Inaction Realm martial artists, there was only a fifty percent chance that he could win. If he ran into the slightly stronger ones, he still had to turn tail and run.

That was why when he heard that they might run into Myth Realm elites during their trip to Sky Demon Sect, Little North's face went slightly pale!

Momo, All-powerful Medicinal Stone, and Wind Chimes instantly became nervous.

They were initially full of confidence, but now, they became much more serious and cautious!

When Happy noticed the changes in everyone's expressions, he quickly explained himself. "Of course, the main goal of the quest is to save Song Yuanqiao. We won't be going up against Myth Realm elites. If we really run into them, I'll serve as rear guard while you all leave."

When he said that, Little North immediately made a ruckus because of how restless he was. "What?! No! I'll be the rear guard!"

"With your body, Shi Zhixuan will kill you with just one palm strike. Your zombies puppets would also all die…" Happy shook his head in resignation. "At that time, not only would you not be able to buy enough time for us, you would just die.

"Don't worry. It's fine even if I'm the rearguard. We have Illusion Life and Death Pills now, so even if we die, it's nothing. Besides, it's not certain whether we'll really run into Myth Realm elites. Once we save Song Yuanqiao, we can explore the general situation of Sky Demon Secret Cave."

Happy's words finally made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

A few minutes later, the six reached the front hall safely, but they noticed, to their surprise, that the people who arrived there ahead of them… were very familiar.
