Chapter 1156 - Sacred Lady of Holy Fire Sect

Chapter 1156: Sacred Lady of Holy Fire Sect

The atmosphere in Dragon Gate Inn instantly changed. The people caused different degrees of ruckus.

But after Hu Baiwan revealed his identity, Jin Xiangyu, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and the other bystanders stopped talking, as if they had simultaneously lost their voices.

And when the uniquely elegant Sacred Lady of West Region, Osaya and the infamous King of Gu Poison, also known as the Master of Gu Poison, stood beside Hu Baiwan, the Murong Clan, who had come in a dominant manner, seemed to have descended into a rather dangerous situation. When the richest merchant in the world demonstrated all his strength, he actually managed to suppress the Murong Clan’s morale, and they once possessed the strength of an entire dynasty!

At that moment, Gusu’s Blue-robed Hero (which was really Happy) became the buffer for the two clashing forces.

Now, all those with good sense could tell that the Murong Clan did not know this mysterious young man who claimed that he came from Gusu City. He should not be from the Murong Clan, and he did not have any relations with the Murong Clan at all.

But the white-clad young man was willing to offend an elite at the dao of heaven and also offend Hu Baiwan to save the third lady of the Murong Clan. This instantly puzzled many people, and they were filled with questions.

“Sir, you seem to share some sort of relationship with the Murong Clan. Could it be that you think of me as insignificant?”

The Master of Gu Poison suffered a loss in Happy’s hands. He endured the anger in his heart and temporarily stopped attacking. He glared at Happy viciously and voiced the displeasure in his heart.

Happy had his original face changed by Thousand-faced Human Fox, but that was not all, even his voice had changed slightly. He did not need to worry about anyone seeing through his disguise at all. But now, there were plenty of people who knew him in the room, and Happy was still very careful and level-headed about it. He did not dare to reveal anything.

But fortunately, in the world three years ago, Happy had the elegance and composure of the eldest senior brother of the Murong Clan. It was a confidence and imposing air that was completely different from him when he was a Shaolin Disciple. After he destroyed Class One Hall, Mu Clan became unprecedentedly powerful, and right now, it was a giant that dominated over the Chinese plains.

Changing to another demeanor was not difficult for Happy.

When he faced the Master of Gu Poison’s angry and accusatory gaze, Happy did not respond to him. Instead, he slowly and calmly turned his head around to look at another person.

“Osaya.”

Osaya said nothing. She stood at a spot that was not too far away from Happy. Between them was Thousand-faced Human Fox, who was also in a disguise. She could sense that this follower who was at the later stage of Myth Realm had been staring at her ever since Happy took action, and he never let down his guard.

Osaya looked at Happy with a complicated gaze. “In all honesty, you don’t have to join this mess. Could you stop fighting for my sake?”

“Stop? That’s impossible. Osaya, ah, no, I should call you the Sacred Lady of Holy Fire Order, that should be more accurate,” Happy spoke calmly. With an observant eye, he saw the fleeting surprise in Osaya’s eyes when she heard the title.

“You know me?” Osaya asked quickly. She did not bother to hide the shock in her heart anymore and let it show on her face. “The Holy Fire Order disciples seldom show themselves, even in West Region. I have never revealed my status as part of Holy Fire Order to the world either. How did you know me?” To her, this extraordinarily elegant and strong white-clad young man had become even more mysterious and inscrutable.

After Hu Baiwan heard the interpretation from the people beside him, a frown gradually appeared on his face. He stared at the white-clad young man, and his gaze turned even graver.

Of course, Happy would not offer an explanation to them.

Thousand-faced Human Fox was actually the one who revealed Osaya’s status to him. The Amazing Log of the Seas and Mountains had recorded a lot of ways to recognize the hidden emblems for many of the mysterious sects in the world.

Coincidentally, Holy Fire Order was listed as the most mysterious and powerful sect in West Region, and Thousand-faced Human Fox was able to recognize it in just one glance.

It was precisely because of his understanding of the principles of Holy Fire Order that Thousand-faced Human Fox was not wary of Osaya, because Holy Fire Order could not reveal their status readily while they wandered about the land, and neither could they readily use the martial arts from the sect.

However, once Osaya decided to work together with Hu Baiwan, Thousand-faced Human Fox could no longer be lax in his guard, because the Sacred Lady was only allowed to leave the sect and wander about the land if she was walking down the dao of heaven.

“I want to explore the desert palace and obtain some treasures from the place as well. Unfortunately, I am alone, and I only have an old servant accompanying me. I might want to fight against you, but my strength is not enough to stand against both of you. So, I can only help the Murong Clan to fight against the richest merchant in the world.”

Happy paused for a while before he officially responded to Osaya. “As for you, Sacred Lady Osaya, if you insist on working together with Hu Baiwan to fight against us, then I believe there is no need for us to say anything else to each other.”

“Hmph!” The barbarian let out a derisive snort and mocked him. “Do you think that you can fight against my master by working together with an aristocratic family which has already fallen into decline?”

Dozens of red-clad Lamas took a step forward at the same time. They worked with the two elites who were in the dao of heaven to suppress the qi waves in the hall, and they created an incredibly oppressive effect.

All the people in Dragon Gate Inn could sense a monstrous qi wave and pressure sweeping towards them and enveloping them. They frowned.

The Murong Clan members were the first to be affected. Their sleeves fluttered loudly, and they formed a circle formation, becoming like a rock that refused to move in the face of a violent gust.

In the face of such an unprecedented pressure, Happy was the only person who remained calm.

The people in the inn might feel as if great trouble was around the corner when they sensed the pressure released by dozens of Myth Realm elites and the Master of Gu Poison, but when Happy stood in the middle of the hall, his sleeves barely moved. His expression remained calm, and he twirled the sword in his hands.

“Of course, no one will be able to fend against two elites in the dao of heaven. However, unskilled as I am, while I cannot guarantee that I will be able to defeat the two elites in the dao of heaven, I can assure you that aside from Osaya and the Master of Gu Poison, no one else will be able to leave this place alive.”

As he spoke, Happy ignored the Master of Gu Poison’s contemptuous gaze. He cast a cold glance at Hu Baiwan, who was protected by multiple red-clad Lamas. “That includes you.”

Hu Baiwan ignored the white-clad teenager’s threat. He only moved his lips to form two words spoken in an indifferent tone. “How conceited!”

He might be wary of Happy if he was only protected by the Master of Gu Poison, but now, he had two elites in the dao of heaven protecting him, and he also had dozens of Myth Realm elites by his side. If he was scared by a mere greenhorn, then he would no longer be Hu Baiwan!

“Then, should we try?” Happy smiled coldly.

In truth, just now, he had already received a system notification asking him whether he wanted to help the Murong Clan or to help Hu Baiwan.

Now, he made his choice unhesitatingly.

“Elders!”

Murong Xun, the current leader of the Murong Clan, did not disappoint Happy. At the moment Happy shot up and disappeared from where he stood, Murong Xun resolutely sent a signal to the three elders beside him.

“Kill them!”

The three elites at the peak of Myth Realm knew that it would be difficult for them to fight against the Master of Gu Poison. Without another word, they worked together to fight against Osaya.

At the same time, Murong Xun led his forces and fought against a group of red-clad Lamas.

All of Dragon Gate Inn instantly turned into a huge, chaotic battlefield.

Boom!

A Murong Clan member had just arrived in front of several red-clad Lamas, and he was immediately sent back with a few kicks and punches. The players around him avoided him, worried that they would be hurt because of this top-class fight.

“Get lost!”

The Murong Clan did not have an advantage in terms of numbers, but Murong Xun and his elites were all at the middle stage or later stage of Myth Realm. They gathered together and blocked the charge by the red-clad Lamas, even though they only barely managed to do so.

However...

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A dazzling light shot forth.

A figure charged into the battlefield suddenly.

“Murong Clan Leader, I have come to help you based on my master’s orders!” Right before everyone’s eyes, the old man who was at the later stage of Myth Realm and had been following the white-clad young man around shot into the battlefield like a phantom. Two red-clad Lamas were injured immediately, and with pained screams, they were sent tumbling out of the battlefield.

The Murong Clan’s morale was boosted.

“Thank you!” Murong Xun was delighted. He seized the chance to fight at full strength.

“You’re welcome!”

Thousand-faced Human Fox’s lightness skill was exceptional. He moved a few times in the crowd, and he could always force red-clad Lamas to retreat with pained grunts. Soon, the stalemate between both sides was slowly broken.

The red-clad Lamas had their kasayas torn because of the force from the attacks.

For a moment, the Murong Clan gradually gained a small advantage because of Thousand-faced Human Fox joining the fight.

The situation had become incredibly chaotic. Murong Xun and his group drew closer to Hu Baiwan step by step. The Master of Gu Poison snorted coldly and was prepared to do something.

But at that moment...

Whoosh!

A faint sound rose by his ear.

The Master of Gu Poison was shocked. He quickly saw the afterimage Happy left behind when he vanished from the spot, and his heart let out a loud thump.

“No!”

Through their brief exchange of blows just now, he naturally knew just how terrifying the white-clad swordsman was. He was definitely above the peak of Myth Realm.

If this man drew close to his employer, Hu Baiwan, the effects would be dreadful!

The Master of Gu Poison immediately got rid of the thought of fighting against the Murong Clan members. He moved.

Bang!

A white figure and a golden figure crashed violently in the air.

Hu Baiwan sat down quietly in the side hall while he was protected by his fighting men. But when he saw the Master of Gu Poison and the white-clad young man showing up when they crashed into each other, he could not help but have his eyelids twitch.

At the same time, Phantasmal Shadow, Silver Wolf, Niu Dali, the others who had originally gone to the sides of the inn to watch the fight, now hid themselves into the side hall. They gave up the hall for the Murong Clan and Hu Baiwan.

The group’s gazes were trained on the white-clad young man.

They had also received a notification from the system.

What they received was a notification telling them that there was a disparity of strength between both sides, and it asked them whether they were willing to help the Murong Clan. Since the system was asking them whether they were willing to go up against two elites in the dao of heaven, and they did not dare to receive the quest rashly.

But when they saw the white-clad young man fighting head-on against the Master of Gu Poison, all of them could not help but suck in a sharp breath.

In the air, the golden figure trembled violently, as if he was injured by a martial art the white-clad young man used. The Master of Gu Poison delivered a few gusts of wind with his palms. There was shock on his face. The wind howled shrilly, and it practically suppressed the sound waves from the countless Myth Realm elites fighting against each other.

The white-clad teenager had an indescribably elegant air when he swung his longsword and moved around in his white robe. He moved in between the palm-generated gusts of wind and arrived in front of the Master of Gu Poison with no trouble whatsoever.

Bang!

The onlookers did not know what had happened when they clashed against each other. All they saw was that the Master of Gu Poison had suddenly several fierce-looking Gu insects in front of him, but even so, he did not manage to block the sword glare that arrived in front of him like a bolt of lightning.

Bang!

Just like a cannonball being fired back, the Master of Gu Poison flew over the group of red-clad Lamas and crashed into the right side hall in a very pathetic manner. He threw chaos into the exquisite alcohol and great food placed in front of Hu Baiwan.
