Chapter 1190 - Determined to Leave

“Who are you?!”

Even though the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance and the mysterious white-clad teenager showed extraordinary strength and there were also a few people in the dao of heaven whose presences were not any weaker than him, Tsao Suiyan was an important official in the court. He was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and his authority stretched to all of the Chinese plains. Naturally, he would not be afraid of these people. He swept his gaze over them, and he continued talking as if he was someone who could look down on the entire world.

“And who are you?”

In truth, when Happy and Thousand-faced Human Fox broke out of the collapsed pyramid and saw the huge group of Embroidered Uniform Guards outside, they were puzzled. The desert had always been deserted, but suddenly, so many people had gathered here, so anyone with a brain would find it strange. Right now, when an effeminate-looking person asked this question of them, one of the barbarians blurted that question with an impatient look.

This time, Tsao Suiyan did not act recklessly.

He could naturally tell that the group of barbarians were pretty strong. They were not people who could be easily killed with shattered shards.

“How preposterous!”

But Tsao Suiyan did not need to take action. One 1000-Embroidered Uniform Guard commander scowled and stood forward to rebuke him.

“My lord is an official of the imperial court and the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Hurry up and come forward to greet him!”

The Embroidered Uniform Guards were usually great judges of character, but this time, he could not be blamed for acting so arrogantly in front of these people in the dao of heaven. It was all because his commander was behind him, and there were also thousands of Embroidered Uniform Elite Guards behind him. They could mow down all resistances, and it was only natural that he would not be afraid of anyone.

Besides, the people in front of him were all covered in blood. Among the men and women of all ages, aside from the white-clad teenager, practically none of them had parts of their bodies that remained uninjured. The ones with extraordinary presences also suffered from a lot of grave injuries, so it was only natural that they did not appear to be intimidating.

“Embroidered Uniform Guards?”

Evil King and Empress Yin scoffed.

The old zither player and Ye Gucheng only opened their eyes to cast a glance at the commander, but they said nothing.

Thousand-faced Human Fox supported Osaya and did not dare say a thing. He kept his head lowered. After all, he was the only one in the area who was quite reluctant to speak to government officials.

Just when the 1000-Embroidered Uniform Guard commander showed off his power and prestige, Happy cast a glance at the haughty person by the side. His gaze moved past the Embroidered Uniform Guards to land on the group of players behind him. Then, he instantly came to an understanding.

He was originally curious as to why there would coincidentally be so many powerful people who gathered outside the desert palace, but now, when he saw Silver Wolf, Phantasmal Shadow, and the others, there was no way he would not know that they had crashed into the plot.

‘Now… the situation seems to have become even more troublesome…’

Happy did not bother with the conflict between the barbarians and the Embroidered Uniform Guards. His attention was still on the alliance master, who was levitating in the air.

Tiger Soul, which had been sealed in the desert palace, reappeared in the world, and it was brought out by the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance. This would definitely cause a major upheaval in the power layout in the world of wanderers. He did not know how the quests in the future would develop.

“Hahahaha!”

While he thought about this, suddenly, the alliance master’s wild laughter rose in the air.

“I see, so it’s the people from the imperial court. I have Tiger Soul in my hands today, and I’m in a good mood. I’ll use all of you dogs of the imperial court as an offering to heaven.”

His words traveled clearly into everyone’s ears, and his killing intent was very obvious.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards stopped talking. They stared at the mysterious elite in the air.

The people in the dao of heaven also frowned and looked into the sky.

Right now, everyone knew very clearly that with Tiger Soul, not only would the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance become the greatest variable in the world of martial arts, he could also decide whether they could live or die. After all, after they left the desert palace, no one could stop the alliance master anymore.

“How brave of you.”

Tsao Suiyan was the only person in the dao of heaven who remained at the peak of his condition and strength aside from the alliance master in the desert. When he heard his arrogant words, he instantly flew into a rage.

“You’re fighting against the imperial court! I’ll kill you and nine generations of your family!”

Before his voice faded away, a substantial spirit pressure charged at him.

Tsao Suiyan’s gaze turned cold.

A saber glare that was several feet wide descended from the sky.

“Shatter!”

Since he was being targeted, Tsao Suiyan finally realized just how terrifying this endless power was. His expression changed. He did not dare to be careless, and he brought out a dozen sabers before he crushed them in his hands.

CRACK!

Those steel sabers were destroyed at the same time. They were reduced to hundreds of fragments. The sound of air being torn fiercely rose, and with an astonishing presence, they charged at the tiger-shaped saber glare.

When they saw Tsao Suiyan looking down on the alliance master, Happy, Evil King, Ye Gucheng, and the others shook their heads.

Just as they expected, hundreds of steel fragments fell back toward Tsao Suiyan at an even faster speed. Then, with none of its power reduced, the tiger-shaped saber glare went charging fiercely at Tsao Suiyan.

Whoosh!

Tsao Suiyan was shocked. By reflex, he left his steed.

Boom!

The Akhal-teke horse, which was worth ten thousand taels of gold, did not even have the chance to neigh. It was drowned out straight away by the tiger-shaped saber glare. Its flesh and blood was immediately devoured. In the end, it was flung away like a shriveled up horse.

Dozens among the group of Embroidered Uniform Guards behind it were also killed!

“How dare you!”

He suffered a major loss immediately into the fight. Even if Tsao Suiyan was an incredibly shrewd person, he was absolutely enraged. His expression turned dark. He grabbed a sword from a 1000-Embroidered Uniform Guard commander beside him and charged at the alliance master after becoming one with the sword.

“You’re just an ant.”

Tsao Suiyan had clearly underestimated the alliance master’s strength. He also underestimated just how horrific Tiger Soul was in the alliance master’s hands.

He had just flown halfway to the alliance master when the alliance master flicked his wrist. A tiger’s roar rang through the desert.

“Roar!”

A tiger-shaped saber glare instantly appeared in front of Tsao Suiyan.

Tsao Suiyan was the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the strongest fighter the imperial court had toward outside forces. He was not someone easy to deal with. Suddenly, dozens of black shadows appeared in the air, and all of them avoided the attack from the alliance master.

‘Huh?’

While he remained in the air, the alliance master saw that his attack had missed. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. Then, his lips curled into a disdainful sneer.

Tsao Suiyan’s act of rushing to the air with his sword was actually very ingenious.

He split into several people and avoided the slash from Tiger Soul before he had all the shadows fuse together again. He was one with his sword, and with an aggressive presence, he arrived in front of the alliance master.

The alliance master did not panic. When Tsao Suiyan arrived in front of him with his sword, he snorted coldly.

A sound wave that was infused with a thick wave of qi and spirit power spread in the air, and visible ripples appeared.

Tsao Suiyan’s slash cut into the ripple. His longsword was bent, as if it was stuck in an indestructible steel wall and could not move forward again.

Tsao Suiyan widened his eyes in a dumbfounded manner, and he was just in time to see the alliance master put on a cruel smile that allowed him to regard everything indifferently.

Bang!

The people underneath could not even see what the alliance master had done. Tsao Suiyan shuddered a little in the air, and he shot to the quicksand underneath like a cannonball.

“The quest at the forbidden land actually asked us to steal Tiger Soul from the alliance master…?”

“They actually released such a fearsome person?”

Phantasmal Shadow, Silver Wolf, and the others had their expressions change.

When the alliance master spoke about turning them all into blood offerings, they received a notification from the system asking them whether they wanted to receive the quest to surround the alliance master and steal Tiger Soul.

The alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance and Tiger Soul!

Right now, a few other people in the dao of heaven were dragged into this. Even if they knew that the rewards for the quest in the forbidden land was incredibly amazing, the people still felt helpless.

“That’s strange.

“Wu Kuo, I remember that you mentioned that there were seven people in the dao of heaven who appeared at the ruins of Dragon Gate Inn, but the alliance master should not be among them. The seventh should be Martial Paragon Bi Xuan…”

“I find it strange too.” When he heard Phantasmal Shadow’s question, Wu Kuo scratched the back of his head. “What’s going on with these people in the dao of heaven? They’re all injured. Could it be that they fought over Tiger Soul in the desert palace?”

When Wu Kuo said this, the others near him voiced their puzzlement.

“Look at those injured elites in the dao of heaven…”

“Strange…? Aside from the alliance master, the other people in the dao of heaven seemed to have formed an alliance, and they’re all fighting against the alliance master.”

When they heard this, the group reached a common and terrifying consensus.

The alliance master was too horrifically strong!

There were also some in the group who did not pay full attention to the people in the dao of heaven.

After that astonishing slash appeared, Silver Wolf’s eyes were fixed on the white-clad teenager, whose qi realm was not that high, but still followed the group nonetheless.

Even if he stood among the people in the dao of heaven, the white-clad teenager still appeared to be the cleanest in the group. He did not suffer from a lot of injuries.

Also, what puzzled Silver Wolf was that even though this disciple from an aristocratic family had a low qi realm, he stood right in front of the crowd. Many of the people in the dao of heaven had subconsciously treated him as their leader.

‘Just who is that boy?’

Once he landed on the ground, Happy knew that the situation had become even more complicated.

They lost the space limitations in the desert palace. Now, it was practically impossible for them to snatch Tiger Soul from the alliance master’s hands!

With Tiger Soul in hand, the alliance master could massacre large groups if he wanted to launch an offensive, and if he wanted to retreat, no one could stop him. Trying to steal Tiger Soul from him was basically a march to death.

If the old zither player and Osaya were still at the peak of their conditions, they might be able to fight against the alliance master, but now…

“I didn’t expect that we aren’t able to get the most important item in the desert palace in the end… Ten Thousand Years, let’s go!” Once he came up with the conclusion of the situation, Happy resolutely came up with the decision to leave the place.

Forget about the fact that the alliance master was currently someone they could not hope to fight against right now. The ancient demon vessel, Tiger Soul, was in perfect condition as well, and it was not something the players should have…

The old zither player said, “Young Swordsman Happy, you’re right. Since we’ve left the desert palace, our cooperation has come to an end. I must leave with my disciples while there is still a chance… If there is a chance in the future, you can use the plate of the sect leader to order my disciples as you wish.”

“That’s…”

Happy was shocked.

Even though he knew that the old zither player would definitely reward him, he was still a little shocked when he learned that the old zither player had decided to give him the valuable sect leader’s plate.

At this moment, Evil King and Empress Yin also walked over.

“Young Swordsman Happy, it’s all thanks to you that our disciples have been able to leave the desert palace safely this time. We will remember this debt we owe to you. From now onwards, the members of Flowers Faction and Yin Weed Faction will never be your enemy.”

Happy nodded his head slightly in acknowledgement to that, but he groaned in his heart. ‘By not being my enemy for life, do you mean that I won’t be able to take the initiative to cause trouble to Flowers Faction and Yin Weed Faction in the future?’

Was this a reward or a punishment?

Happy found himself rather speechless toward this.

However, right now, he had Heaven Crystal in his hands, and the disciples of the evil cult were no longer anything to him. He did not need to be too bothered by this fact.

Ye Gucheng and Dongfang Bubai seemed to still not intend to leave this place, so they did not come over.

“How dare you stand as an enemy against the imperial court?! I don’t care who you are, die!” Tsao Suiyan’s enraged shout spread through the quicksand. “All Embroidered Uniform Guards, hear me! Your target is the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance! Show no mercy!”

Right after he finished speaking…

A shower of arrows were fired simultaneously!
