212 Moon Pavilion, Display of Strength

"Lin Xiao, what a man!"

The people from the two sects hurried over to the entrance of Immortal Fox Village when they heard the news. They stood there for a long time and watched more than one hundred Chivalry Sect members with powerful presences escort Happy and his party away. Situ Luoyu and Solitary Perpetual Joy could only watch and sigh. In the end, they did not order their men to fight.

One Happy alone was already unstoppable. With Chivalry Sect helping him, he would be like a tiger equipped with a pair of wings. If they went up looking for trouble again, they would basically be asking for their own death.

Besides, right then, they were more concerned about the fact that Chivalry Sect had resolutely quit the alliance both of them had led and organized after being surrounded and attacked by the two great sects. They also revealed the secret behind why the sects decided to work together. The hidden enemies of the two sects in Immortal Fox Village were all the players who did not belong to any sect! From then on, it would be very difficult for them to move any further into Fox Cave or even be able to move around at ease in Immortal Fox Village.

Also, once Chivalry Sect decided to work together with Happy and explore Fox Cave together, Perpetual Joy Sect and Fallen Feathers Sect would be able to do nothing against Chivalry Sect, because their abilities had been compromised.

This was something Situ Luoyu and Solitary Perpetual Joy understood very clearly. If they continued staying in Fox Cave, the only thing that awaited them would be an even more devastating end.

Fallen Feathers Sect might have Class One Hall's support, but Perpetual Joy Sect could not afford to throw away so many of their resources.

"Brother Situ, I've made my decision." Once Chivalry Sect's group vanished from sight, Solitary Perpetual Joy sighed dejectedly and said in an incredibly solemn tone, "Today, we've become enemies with Chivalry Sect, and they will definitely not let this slide. I'm embarrassed to stay around Fox Cave any longer. Winners are the ones in the right, and losers are the ones in the wrong, I have no regrets. I'll take my leave now."

"Brother Perpetual Joy!" When Situ Luoyu heard this, he was shocked. "You… We've developed Fox Cave for a month, and you're giving up just like that? Isn't it too much of a waste?"

"It's still better than being dragged down into the mud by Happy. Besides, nearly half of my good fighters are injured. If I continue fighting like that, the advantage Perpetual Joy Sect has gathered in the early stages will all go down the drain. I can't afford to suffer such a loss. I'm sorry."

Once he finished speaking, he led his one hundred men away from Immortal Fox Village with a mighty momentum. No matter how Situ Luoyu called out to him, Solitary Perpetual Joy never turned his head around.

Situ Luoyu could not do anything more. His heart instantly became colder with fear and disappointment.

If he worked together with Perpetual Joy Sect, he was still confident in being able to fight for a while against Chivalry Sect and competing for the resources in Fox Cave, but once Solitary Perpetual Joy left with his people, it was impossible. Fallen Feathers Sect's abilities were always weaker than those of Chivalry Sect, and they did not have the power to fight head on after the fight in Fox Cave.

Besides, they were the ones who had instigated the mess. Chivalry Sect was livid right then, and they would definitely not let it pass. Fallen Feathers Sect had no other option except to leave Fox Cave as well.

*****

While Situ Luoyu was conflicted and hesitant on what he should do, Happy and his party arrived in Wuhu City with Chivalry Sect's escort. It was a beautiful city located beside a mountain and rivers.

The most famous restaurant in Wuhu County was Moon Pavilion. It was built along Wuhu's beautiful scenery and had the advantage of being built in an environment with particularly favorable natural conditions. Wuhu's good food and tasty wine also turned the restaurant into a popular place which many martial artists frequented.

Happy had saved Red Dust halfway through their operation, and in Lin Xiao's words, they would remember this debt of kindness. If Chivalry Sect did not show their hospitality as the hosts, how would they ever be able to show their face in the game and mingle around others in the future?

The second level of Moon Pavilion instantly became much livelier.

"Brother Happy, Brother Medicinal Stone, Brother Thunder, Brother Little North, it's all thanks to all of you helping us today that my brother Red Dust was saved, and you even helped vent our anger! Since you had such high opinion of Chivalry Sect and were kind enough to come and join the banquet, I, Lin Xiao, will not waste my breath! Today, I will lead all of my brothers and propose a toast to you! I will drink first as a sign of respect!"

Right after he finished saying those bold words…

Boom!

More than one hundred powerful martial artists with extraordinary clothing and presence lifted their wine bowls and rose from their seats in a uniform manner! All of them finished the good wine in their bowls in the direction of Happy's party, who were seated by the table at the center.

They did not hesitate, and their actions were swift and clean!

The scattered walk-in guests sitting by dozens of tables around them were shocked by the scene. Once the group lifted the empty bowls in their hands up high, someone took the lead and cheered.

"Awesome!"

"You sure are a hearty lot!"

"Chivalry Sect, you guys are men!"

"Happy! It's Happy! The person at the top of Famous People Rank!"

"No wonder they have such a grand display of strength!"

Cheers such as those rose and fell. It could be seen that Chivalry Sect's reputation in Wuhu was rather good.

Lin Xiao had a bold smile on his face. He wrapped his fist in his palm and saluted the people around him. It was only when he did this that the voices around him fell quiet, and he redirected his gaze on Happy and his party. "What good alcohol tolerance! Please sit!"

"You're too polite!"

Happy and his party wrapped their fists in their palms politely and saluted the people around them.

"Everyone, please sit."

Their appropriate actions made the smile on Lin Xiao's face become brighter. For some unknown reason, the more he looked at the four, the more fond he became of them. Each of them were very bold and friendly. They did not have the pride of a victor after their victory, and even he would find it bad if he did not pull this sort of people into Chivalry Sect.

Once they drank a few bowls of wine, the atmosphere instantly turned warm and friendly.

Once everyone drank three pots of wine, their words were no longer as formal as before. All of them adopted a casual tone when they spoke.

Lin Xiao finally said the words he had held in his heart for a long time.

"Brother Happy, I believe that you know that Chivalry Sect's aim is to be a sect that will not attack unless we are attacked. We walk down the path of chivalry, and we build our reputation based on justice. We are strict with obeying our rules, and we are more popular than the other organizations in the game, which is why we've formed the structure we have now. This time, Fallen Feathers Sect and Perpetual Joy Sect set us up, and I will definitely report this to our sect master. We will chase these two sects out of Immortal Fox Village, but I hope that you and your party will help us, Brother Happy."

When Thunderous Battle, All-powerful Medicinal Stone, and Little North heard this while sitting next to Happy, they were tempted by the idea. They slowed down whatever they were doing and looked at Happy to gauge his reaction!

Red Dust, who had been smiling all the while and just let Lin Xiao organize the banquet, was quite confident about his invitation. He could sense that Happy and his party had a good impression of Chivalry Sect.

'It's here, as I expected.' Happy smiled in his heart and put down his chopsticks.

"Situ Luoyu and Solitary Perpetual Joy both perished at the same time, and more than sixty elites in the two sects' lineup died. With Chivalry Sect's current strength, it is no longer difficult for you to deal with them. And after this fight, Perpetual Joy Sect and Fallen Feathers Sect will not dare to continue organizing any operations in Fox Cave and Immortal Fox Village. Chivalry Sect can be in control of most of the resources in Fox Cave. We won't need to join you for your quest."

Even though Happy changed the topic's direction, he had also tactfully rejected Lin Xiao's invitation in a very indirect manner.

Lin Xiao and Red Dust were both smart people, and they were slightly disappointed.

"Brother Happy, are you going to give up on the resources in Fox Cave? You must know that—"

"I'm not giving them up. It's just that I don't have the habit of staying in one place for long. World of Martial Arts is big, and there are plenty of amazing things in it. I want to go around and look."

Happy made a white lie before he cast a glance at Thunderous Battle and Little North.

"But I don't have much time left. I have a group of friends who have already built a sect. They've asked me to join them a long time ago, so I don't have a lot of time to remain free. Naturally, I need to make the best use of what I have left and wander around."

He said those words in an attempt to provide further explanation. He was also doing this to begin preparing Little North and Thunderous Battle to accept his invitation in the future.

"Oh." Lin Xiao instantly became much more at ease. "I was wondering about this. Brother Happy, you're really powerful, so how could you not be in any sect? Since you've already made your decision a long time ago, we won't force you. Come, I'll propose a toast to celebrate Brother Happy climbing to the top of the Famous People Rank."

"Cheers!"

Countless people stood up at the first floor of the restaurant, and their actions brought about a thunderous rumble.
