Chapter 267  : Could He Be from Wudang Sect?

A strange atmosphere spread through the main hall of the royal mausoleum after the battle!

Everyone had to admit that the drop rate in the royal mausoleum was incredibly high!

Even though the mortality rate when they went through the first level was shocking and Emei Sect as well as Beautiful Robes Faction did not know whether the Knife-throwing Ninjas dropped any good stuff, they had already obtained four equipment pieces from the four Shadow Warriors. The twenty-four normal ninjas also dropped one Tachi, which showed that the drop rate in the royal mausoleum was much higher than in the areas outside.

Also, there seemed to be a burial item placed in each of the small halls in the royal mausoleum. They were, at the very least, masterpieces or items that cost thousands of gold. There were more than twenty of the small halls, and based on the map, they could smell gold all over the place.

Hence, even though it was dangerous and there were three sects who had lost nearly all of their competitive power, they still did not want to give up on the resources in the royal mausoleum.

As for those with great abilities, their reluctance to leave was even greater.

Regardless of whether it was Shaolin Temple, Emei Sect, or Beautiful Robes Faction, they were filled with confidence, because there were only three sects that had not suffered from any damage at that moment.

Wudang Sect had suffered the least damage, and they believed that if they kept their guard up, they should be able to make some accomplishments and receive some rewards.

“Everyone! You should have rested enough. Please allow me to overstep our boundaries. Now, the Shadow Ninja should be guarding the tunnel, and I believe...”

Ouyang Qing stopped circulating his qi. He pushed against his knees and rose before he wrapped his fist in his palm in a familiar motion to invite the people, as if he wanted to mobilize the forces again.

He had just received a grade three masterpiece—Bamboo Hat—and was filled with boundless enthusiasm. That equipment looked like thee one used by wandering martial artists to conceal their faces. Right then, he looked like a swordsman and was very eye-catching.

Happy did not say anything. He cast him a few glances before he looked away.

As of then, in terms of headgear, the best in the market should be the item on top of Ouyang Qing’s head!

The royal mausoleum was the region that provided a quest with the highest difficulty that players could go to. The Bamboo Hat was an amazing item that could sell for more than one million. Of course, if Happy was smart enough, he would know that attacking Ouyang Qing now was not a good idea. Because after a while, more quest regions would be developed, and the price of the Bamboo Hat would plummet. Even though it could still be sold for the price of a masterpiece, that would not be comparable to how much it was worth at that moment.

“Brother Ouyang, the Shadow Ninja should be a Life and Death Realm Boss. She kills resolutely and is as cunning as a fox. She’s very difficult to deal with. I’d say that it’d be best if you leave first. Hidden Soul Guild will have to stay here and discuss the matter for a while.”

Hidden Soul Guild’s boss had lost an arm and looked very dejected. His imposing mannerisms had dropped by a large margin. When he heard Ouyang Qing’s words, he immediately spoke and stated that Hidden Soul Guild would not join the lineup that would push forward.

Soon, Beggar’s Sect and Soaring Tiger Sect also said that they would temporarily stay in the main hall.

Ouyang Qing frowned slightly.

Emei Sect, Shaolin Temple, and Beautiful Robes Faction wore solemn expressions.

The three sects that had showed the greatest enthusiasm previously seemed to have been completely dazed by the attack. They were traumatized to a certain degree by the dangers in the royal mausoleum, or else, they would absolutely not give up on the position in the vanguard.

They were worried about the Shadow Ninja, who might be in the tunnel, and also the unknown dangers that lurked further in the royal mausoleum!

The suffering had caused them to gain some degree of wisdom.

“If that’s the case, I won’t force you...”

Ouyang Qing cast them a slightly disappointed glance. He did not continue trying to persuade them. The dreariness of the three great sects could be seen by all.

If that were the case, only Shaolin Temple, Wudang Sect, Emei Sect, and Beautiful Robes Sect were left!

Happy did not say anything. He continued to sit among the people who circulated their qi to treat their injuries. Aside from casting a glance at the tunnel from time to time, he also kept an eye on Soaring Tiger Sect’s actions, as well as the situation in Beautiful Robes Faction.

At that moment, it was close to Emei Sect in the royal mausoleum.

At the same time, Shaolin Temple’s thirteen staff-using monks and Wudang Sect’s members showed that they walked down the path of righteousness through their actions. If they moved together with the three sects, Beautiful Robes Faction would only need to worry about the ninjas in the royal mausoleum.

When he thought of this, Happy’s eyes sparkled for a while. Finally, he stood up from the corner. He shifted like a flash of lightning and appeared thirty-two feet away. His robes fluttered, and he appeared in front of the tunnel as if he was taking a stroll.

His actions instantly attracted quite a lot of people’s attention!

The extraordinary lightness skill made him the center of attention.

However, there were still many people who did not know which group this mysterious blue-robed young man followed into the royal mausoleum. No one saw him talk to anyone since the beginning.

While the others were puzzled, the mysterious blue-robed young turned his back to them and said, “I’ll move ahead first. Please be careful. If anything happens, do notify me.”

His voice echoed in the main hall.

The people from the seven sects swiftly looked around at the others!

But they only looked at each other at a loss!

Hidden Soul Guild’s boss had a confused look, so it was only natural that the blue-robed young man did not belong to them.

The people from Soaring Tiger Sect carefully sized up everyone’s reaction.

Shaolin Temple and Emei Sect were directly eliminated from the range of possibilities. Wudang Sect’s Ouyang Qing went ahead to look at the three other sects before he finally shifted his gaze to Beautiful Robes Faction’s Phoenix Dances. But he only saw her look around a bit with curiosity.

Ouyang Qing could not help but be stunned. Who had the boy been talking to?

Those people concealed themselves too well! They were all Academy-award winning actors!

The people who received such praise were the Three Lonely Wolves hidden in the middle of Beautiful Robes Sect. They had lowered their heads and rolled their eyes while they cursed in their hearts.

‘The brat actually left the group and appeared in front of everyone! Thank goodness he still has some semblance of reason. At the very least, he didn’t completely ignore us. When he left, he still greeted us. But speaking of which, his abilities are getting more and more unfathomable!’

The moment the Shinobi had appeared and ambushed him, they honestly thought that Happy would die.

Of course, the Three Lonely Wolves were not the only ones who noticed that something was off. Little Jade was rather conscious of the blue-robed young man’s back. She had been paying a lot of attention to Happy’s battle replays, which was why when he talked with his back turned towards them, she managed to link it to the person in the replays!

‘It’s him!’

Little Jade had been lacking in interest in the quest, but her eyes lit up with a dazzling light at that moment.

‘He still came!’

“Heh, I wonder who he is and which sect he belongs to...”

While Ouyang Qing opened his mouth to speak, the afterimage Happy left behind disappeared. He moved like a phantom, and with a few jumps, he appeared dozens of feet into the depths of the tunnel. When Ouyang Qing finished speaking, Happy had long since disappeared.

‘Urk!’

Ouyang Qing felt incredibly awkward. He had been practicing Cloud-ascending Ladder for a while, and a hint of shock and admiration appeared in his eyes toward the high-tier lightness skill Happy displayed. ‘How fast! I think I’ll only be able to catch up to him with Grandmaster Realm Cloud-ascending Ladder.’

He turned his head around and looked at the people in the main hall.

No one made a sound.

The masters of the other six sects shook their heads to show that they did not know him.

Ouyang Qing swept his gaze across the area, and in the end, he pointed at himself and said while not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “None of you know him? Did you actually think that he belongs to Wudang Sect?”
