775 Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction

World of Martial Arts was filled with endless fortuitous encounters and variables!

Happy knew this very well. An incredibly powerful fighter might pop out at any moment, and they might even be a very powerful enemy, but they could also move past the area like shooting stars and not leave behind too much heat. 

Take, for example, Barren Murderer. 

In Happy's previous life, he was just a normal but great player with the title of a king. He only relied on his Undying King of Abyss Art to become one of the top, and in this life, he shone with an even more brilliant light. 

He had with his Undying King of Abyss Art and Heaven and Earth Great Shift!

With two ultimate techniques, his strength increased by several fold. 

The Twin Female and Male Demons' Undying Seals and Great Sky Demon Art might soon push them to stand among the top of the Chinese world of martial artists as well. 

All this caused Happy to not easily relax and become full of himself. 

Even though nearly half of the Chinese world of martial artists was in Mu Clan's hands, Happy only sensed that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier. 

In the beginning, he only entered the game purely for the sake of revenge, and he continued to use Happy as his in-game name to concoct his plan to take revenge on Class One Hall based on how events progressed in his previous life. As time passed, taking revenge was no longer as important as it was in the past. 

His heart, which could no longer accept Xu Yao, stirred a little, like a butterfly flapping its wings slightly, but this world was filled with the unknown, and it made him feel lost. 

The successor for Six Pulses Divine Sword appeared ahead of time, and there was still no sign of the successor for Northern Obscure Divine Skill. There were also a lot of top-class elites who should have already shown themselves, but they did not pop up like mushrooms after a shower, which they had done in Happy's previous life. 

Perhaps it was because the halo on his person was too bright in this life, and the burden he had to bear was too great, which was why he no longer had time to pay attention to the matters he thought were very important in his previous life. 

But Happy could understand that even if they did not rise to fame, it did not mean that they did not experience the events they did in Happy's previous life. Perhaps they simply thought that the strength they accumulated right now was still not enough. 

Even Happy himself thought that the strength he had as of current was not strong enough. 

There was something in his hands that could threaten them to a certain degree. 

And that was Heaven Crystal!

Whoosh!

A cold wind howled by his ear. 

Happy was dressed in clothes that were as white as the snow in the mountains, and his clothes fluttered loudly in the cold wind. His hero's bandana danced wildly, but none of this could stop Happy's determined footsteps. 

He did not activate Nine Yang Divine Skill, and the cold wind that blew past his body was like knives, and his face stung from the cold. 

Crunch! Crunch!

He walked step by step down the mountain path. A clear trail of footprints could be seen behind it. It slowly extended down the mountain. 

Happy also did not activate his lightness skill. 

Since he never took this path in his previous life and since this was the first time he came to Heaven Mountain and to Sword Lake, Happy found himself surrounded by incredibly beautiful and grand sights, and he really did not want to only cast a passing glance at such a beautiful scenery. 

Heaven Mountain was where a large faction known as Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction was located, but to the Chinese world of martial artists, rarely did anyone travel to this place, and there were even fewer players who were willing to train this place. Normal players will only stay for a while before they chose to delete their characters and make a new character, or they will head to other cities to learn from other masters! Hence, up until now, Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction was not famous. In fact, they did not have a lot of disciples. 

Happy did not run into anyone on his way here. 

It was a very remote and desolate place.

And Happy felt as if he was the only person in the world. 

This feeling was very intriguing to Happy, and he also managed to experience just how it felt to be alone. 

He had already walked for a long time on this road. 

While he stared at the summit that was not too far away from him, a flash of passion shone in Happy's eyes!

'I'm here! I'm finally here!'

Once he reached the summit, he will be able to see the legendary Sword Lake.

At that moment, a cold breeze blew past. 

A cold was accompanied by the sound of robes fluttering and cold shouts. 

"Stay where you are!"

"This is an important land for Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction. Who are you, and what is your purpose for being here?!"

Happy saw the view in front of him turn blurry. Then, four women with pretty faces appeared on the road ahead of him. They were all dressed in snowwhite gowns, and they had white cloaks made of pelts. They stood in front of Happy with swords in their hands, and they stared at him with chilly gazes. 

"My friends from Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction, I am Happy, disciple of the Murong Clan, and I have come here to meet your faction leader."

"The Murong Clan?"

"Happy? You're Gusu's Blue-robed Hero, who just recently rose to fame…"

"You don't seem like much, just a tidy pretty boy."

"The martial arts from those famous sects in the Chinese world of martial artists are all just for show; they just look pretty and are completely useless. I say that this boy has a reputation he cannot live up to."

These four female disciples from Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction sized up Happy without treating him like an outsider. They did not hold back with their words either. They just kept talking, and Happy felt incredibly awkward. 

However, Happy came over here to suppress the brutal sword qi in Heavenly Crystal that will injure others sadistically. He wanted to nourish the divine weapon so that he could keep it by his side in the future as a killing weapon. He could only pretend that he did not hear the rude words from the four female disciples from Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction. 

"Did you actually think that you can meet our faction leader just because you want to?"

"That's right."

"You're just a normal disciple. Go back."

"Unless you have an authenticating token, don't come here." The four girls chattered on one after another. 

Happy was stunned. 

'Authenticating token?'

"Does this count?"

He brought out the plate the master of Purple Bamboo Forest once gave him and showed it to the four girls, and Happy saw a hint of surprise that quickly rose in the four girls' eyes. 

'There's indeed a connection between the plate and the faction.

'Looks like the master of Purple Bamboo Forest is indeed from Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction, and she should be among the higher-ups. I should have no problems in meeting their faction leader now.'

"Where did you get that Sword of Heavenly Lake Order?!"

"When I was outside Gusu City, I coincidentally met someone in Purple Bamboo Forest." 

Happy mentioned how he obtained Sword of Heavenly Lake Plate, and the four girls quickly exchanged a glance, but not only did they not bring him into the faction as he expected, instead, their expressions changed, and they swung their longswords at the same time. 

"He has the plate stolen from our faction leader from two years ago!"

"Sisters, attack him together!"

"Capture him! Don't let him escape!"

'Excuse me?!'

When he heard the four girls' words and saw the cold light coming at him, Happy opened his mouth, and he was tongue-tied. 

'The plate belonging to Sword of Heavenly Lake Faction's leader?

'Stolen two years ago?

'There's no way there's such a coincidence, right?!

'Is the master of Purple Bamboo Forest a thief?'

"Don't attack me. I'll meet with your faction leader, and you can take this plate away. I'll explain things to him face to face." Happy might not mind being surrounded by four Inaction Realm martial artists, but it was not appropriate for him to attack either, so he could only dodge while he spoke. 

Since he had to meet with Sword of Heavenly Faction's leader either way, this was perfect. 

"Hmph."

When the four girls saw that the sword technique they executed after they were in formation was useless against Happy, they felt a little dejected as well, because they knew that Happy was extraordinary. They put their swords away, looked at each other, and nodded. 

"Alright, we'll have the faction personally capture him."

Happy could only laugh wanly.

'It seems like this Sword of Heavenly Lake Plate is not a good item to have. Let's hope that no troublesome quest will appear before I finish with Heavenly Crystal.'
