Sword Among Us

Elder Lin had always treated poison as something worthy of respect, and his skills with it were astonishing. Ever since he obtained Golden Thread Snake King, he relied on it to swiftly rise in ranks, and he had obtained a place for himself in the evil cult.

But his personal strength was not that great. Without Golden Thread Snake King as his killing weapon, his poison arts, which were completely countered by Happy’s Nine Yang Divine Skill, and with his emotions in utter chaos, he was easily subdued and had his acupressure points blocked.

“Brat! Give me back my Golden Thread Snake King!”

Elder Lin might have been in a horrible situation, but he did not care about himself, which showed just how great was the Golden Thread Snake King in his heart.

Happy could completely understand why he acted that way.

Golden Thread Snake Kings were legendary creatures in the world, and most people could only dream about meeting them! If a person obtained one, it would be the same as obtaining a peerless divine weapon. There were a few players who acted as if they had gone mad once they lost their Golden Thread Snake Kings in Happy’s previous life. They would go into Sprout Fortress Forest in hopes of finding another one from the forest that was filled with venomous creatures.

When Happy saw how worked up and crazed Elder Lin became, he realized that it would be almost impossible for him to get the information about Song Yuanqiao and the others from him, which was why he decided to give up and tap Elder Lin’s forehead.

Bang!

The corpse fell on the ground. Quite a number of poisonous creatures instantly surged out of Elder Lin’s robes and immediately covered his corpse. Happy scowled when he saw that. He threw out some realgar, and the venomous creatures retreated from Elder Lin’s body. Happy then positioned his left hand into a claw and grabbed the Universe Bag from Elder Lin’s waist.

If the poisonous creatures on the ground were seen by those who played with poison, they would naturally be incredibly happy about it, but Happy held no love for the poisonous insects, scorpions, snakes, and centipedes. Even if he knew that they were sold at a rather good price in the market, he would ignore them. He just cast a glance at Elder Lin’s Universe Bag, turned around, and left.

A system notification arrived.

“Ding!

“Killed Elder Lin, an elite of the evil cult. Battle Danger Assessment: Class A+.

“Increased level of Joined Finger by one. Current level: Lvl 80.17.”

Happy had managed to kill another Inaction Realm martial artist, and he finally understood why most people could never hope to catch up to One Emperor in his previous life when it came to speed in training. He was someone who always sought after NPC elites, so there was no way that he would need to worry about his qi not reaching its target.

Elder Lin contributed quite a number of venomous creatures to Happy, and they were supreme grade items that the poison users loved quite a lot in the market, such as Hermaphrodite Flying Centipede, Red Tailed Scorpion, and others.

What caught Happy’s attention though was a poisonous palm technique called Five Poison Divine Palm that could only be learned in Moksha Realm and the fourth Sky Demon Order!

Happy quickly wrote a letter to Thunderous Battle and gave him a few instructions. [Big Brother Thunder, help me find out where Song Yuanqiao is, and have someone help me buy Sky Demon Orders.]

Thunderous Battle answered very quickly. [Sky Demon Order? Why? Do you want to go to Sky Demon Order now? This thing is currently selling like hot cakes. I heard that there is a group of people who have been buying Sky Demon Orders recently, but this item doesn’t drop often. Only one evil cult disciple from Sky Demon Order out of a thousand drops it, and it’s considered pretty good if those who look for it get one per day. The item is ridiculously expensive, yet we don’t know what use is there for it.]

‘There’s already someone buying Sky Demon Orders?’

Happy was taken aback.

The evil cult had only appeared recently, and there was already someone who discovered the use for Sky Demon Orders? Happy remembered that someone had only managed to discover its use after a long time since the orders had appeared!

If a change like that had truly happened, it seemed that Happy had not been paying much attention to the game recently. He had missed a lot of information.

[What’s the current selling price?] Happy quickly asked.

[One million taels of silver!] Thunderous Battle answered.

Happy thought about it for a moment before he quickly sent a letter in reply. [It’s not much. Increase the price and buy it in bulk for two million taels of silver! Buy as many as you can!]

When Thunderous Battle heard Happy’s decision to buy Sky Demon Orders in such a flashy manner, he instantly became interested. [Do you have inside information? Can you leak it to me?]

Happy knew that Thunderous Battle would not be able to wait from his curiosity, so he smiled and quietly fished out the four Sky Demon Orders, which reflected a dazzling light when put next to each other. They quickly merged into one, and new information appeared on them.

[Gathered four Sky Demon Orders. Filled in the information for the mechanism leading to the hall of Sky Demon Sect ruins. You can now activate Recondite Steel Gate and enter Sky Demon Secret Cave!]

The information vanished in a flash.

The four Sky Demon Orders split up quickly and returned to four normal orders.

[It’s a secret quest for Sky Demon Sect, and it’s about the same as the royal mausoleum. The Sky Demon Orders can be considered as a means to get into the place. Only those who gathered four of them can enter.]

Happy stopped writing for a moment and thought for a moment before he quickly added, [Since someone seems to have been paying attention to the information in these Sky Demon Orders, we can’t delay matters. Help me contact Silver Wolf, Momo, Little North, and Wind Chimes. Have them hurry to Sky Demon Sect. They’ll be clearing Sky Demon Secret Cave with me!]

Thunderous Battle gloomily noticed that Happy did not include him in his list of names. [What about me? And why did you add Wind Chimes? She still isn’t considered part of Mu Clan.]

[You need to continue serving as a garrison in Mu Clan. We’ll be enough in handling this small matter,] Happy replied in a joking manner. [As for Wind Chimes, if we run into too many evil cult disciples in Sky Demon Secret Cave, she’s the best in wiping large numbers of enemies.]

That was no joke. Happy had a deep understanding of Sky Demon Secret Cave, and he knew that activating Sky Demon Secret Cave could be a lucky matter, but also a death sentence if the players who entered did not have enough strength.

There would be countless evil cult disciples who would descend from the sky and all sorts of ingenious death traps along the way. It was a place that could send an entire sect’s worth of people to their deaths.

Wind Chimes could not be missing from an operation inside there.

Thunderous Battle knew that Happy always made his plans after much contemplation, so there had to be a reason why he did not include him in his plans. He immediately agreed to it and quickly had the four people contact Happy.

Once Happy spoke to them, he sent a messenger pigeon to All-powerful Medicinal Stone.

[Miss me?]

Happy smiled and replied, [I heard that you had ran to West Region lately. Can’t I ask after you? So? Are the people there so rich that the successor of Marvelous-handed Sect forgot to return?]

West Region could be considered as part of Mu Clan. Even though their fights against the other countries at the borders never ended and war frequently erupted there, there was a group of elites from Beautiful Robes Hall serving as garrison there, and their equipment as well as strength was above those of the small countries they fought.

In such a place, All-powerful Medicinal Stone was naturally not in danger.

[Heh heh, it’s pretty good. During the past few days, I suddenly realized that stealing from our own people is not as satisfying as stealing from foreigners. Heh, a few days ago, I stole fourth-echelon Recondite Steel Gloves from a Thai. The brat made a ruckus outside the city in his mother tongue while looking for me, but he doesn’t know that I can put on a disguise, so I walk in front of him every day, and he doesn’t even know! Ahahahaha!!!]

[Dude, you’re getting worse.]

[So, is there anything good that you chose to find me right now?]

[Sky Demon Sect isn’t too far away from you. If you have time, do you mind coming over? I’m going to do a quest there, and I need someone who is rather good with mechanisms and traps.]
