Chapter 986 - Rising to Power from the Ruins
Chapter 986: Rising to Power from the Ruins
Boom!
As a loud sound that shook the heaven and earth rose, Sky Demon Branch, which had stood outside the ruins of Sky Demon Sect for years and was famously known as Class One Hall’s second greatest branch, had the walls surrounding its yard completely collapse. The buildings crumbled, and its former glory was instantly destroyed. In its place now was a gloomy atmosphere that surrounded a broken and old building.
There were more than one thousand Class One Hall members who survived the disaster, and their faces were pale. Their eyes were mixed with bafflement and dejectedness, and they could not wrap their minds around this even after a long time had passed.
Even though they had already come to a realization that none of the people there could protect Sky Demon Branch the moment they got out of it, when Sky Demon Branch truly collapsed, had all its glory vanish like smoke, and all Sky Demon Branch members were demoted to normal Class One Hall members, everyone in the area, include the Class One Hall Sky Demon Branch members in the city and who were on the way back to the branch, sank into a short period of absent-mindedness.
‘It’s gone… Sky Demon Branch is gone!’
Sky Demon Branch stood as one of the greatest treasure troves for Class One Hall when it stood in the Chinese server. It was the pride and joy of more than ten thousand Sky Demon Branch members, and yet, it was destroyed by Happy alone.
Many of the people who logged in only after they heard the news could not accept this news.
The Class One Hall members who died in battle looked dispirited.
All the Class One Hall members who received the system notification at the same time had extremely exaggerated looks of disbelief and skepticism on their faces.
And the Class One Hall members who stood outside the ruins of Sky Demon Branch with numb looks on their faces. Their faces were pale and full of helplessness. After all, at some point of time in the past, they had thought that no one could possibly shake or threaten Class One Hall’s pride and dignity.
This time, Happy used his strength to make Class One Hall wake up to the truth.
Class One Hall was not the only who realized this problem.
Even the factions of power who watched the battle outside Sky Demon Branch were shocked when they personally witnessed the destruction of Sky Demon Branch and the sight of corpses lying all over the ground.
Countless gazes were gathered on the lone figure who stood at the center of the ruins—Happy!
Right now, Sky Demon Branch had been reduced to ruins, and nothing could stop the people from looking inside.
Happy was exposed to the people’s sights clearly.
He stood at the top of the stairs, and he was surrounded by gray tiles, debris, and countless Class One Hall members’ corpses which were packed close to each other.
Even though he looked frail, his longsword, which was held diagonally while pointing downward at the ground, possessed a matchless, awe-inspiring might that intimidated all the people around the area.
Then, right in front of everyone’s eyes, Happy then put away all the resources which Sky Demon Branch had gathered over the years from the storage in the ruins of the branch into his Universe Bag.
A large amount of ores, a great number of medicinal herbs, huge quantities of medicinal pills, a few ten thousand weapons and equipment, refined demon vessels, Fire Qilin Blood, Fire Qilin Scales, various martial art manuals, an assortment of quest items and crafting materials, billions of taels of silver, and some miscellaneous items in which no one could name.
Right before countless people’s faces, Happy filled up his Universe Bag without holding back! He took all the resources from Sky Demon Branch’s storage!
Among them included loads of equipment that thousands of players dropped after they died in Sky Demon Branch.
“That guy is definitely going to be rich!”
Quite a number of martial artists in the group noticed that the gazes of the former Sky Demon Branch members could practically kill Happy a thousand times if looks could kill. The onlookers’ gazes on Happy were instantly filled with a lot more envy and astonishment.
“Is there a need to even say that?”
As time passed, the martial artists outside broke free of the shock from watching Sky Demon Branch’s collapse. The discussions among them also increased in number.
“I heard that Sky Demon Branch’s master brought a group of elites and a suicide squad to seize their resources, but in the end, they sacrificed nearly two thousand people, but still did not manage to retrieve the resources. The branch master and vice branch masters all died inside.”
“Sky Demon Branch has always been one of the very important branches producing resources for Class One Hall. This time, they didn’t manage to seize the resources, and those items inside could bring up a middle-sized sect with a rather good foundation of strength!”
“It’s not just a middle-sized sect!”
“Sky Demon Branch is definitely the most important branch of all branches! Those Fire Qilin Scales and Fire Qilin Blood alone already contains the best refinement abilities and recovery abilities in the game.”
“This time, Class One Hall suffered a really great loss!”
“All the Fire Qilin Blood is in Happy’s hands. Next time, when he uses these items when he fights against Class One Hall in the future, Class One Hall will really be in trouble.”
A lot of people began delighting in Class One Hall’s misery.
Even if someone used the simplest equation to calculate how much misfortune would suffer based on how much Fire Qilin Blood ended up in Happy’s hands, they could easily get their answers.
This time, Sky Demon Branch sacrificed thousands of lives, but they did not manage to do anything Happy in the end.
If they really wanted to kill Happy, the price they had to pay was something that even a large sect would not be able to withstand.
Right now, with a large amount of Fire Qilin Blood in his hands, Happy could constantly remain at the peak of his condition in front of his enemies. But could Class One Hall bring out that many resources to help their own recover?
*****
Once Happy received all the resources in Sky Demon Branch, he did not immediately leave the ruins. Instead, he surveyed the Class One Hall members who had retreated even further away before he started checking the vast assortment of items in his Universe Bag.
“I don’t really need that much equipment. I can just put them in the commission shop and sell them… I have quite a lot of medicinal pills and martial art manuals as well. I can just sell them all. I have a lot of Sky Demon Orders… I can sell them for a huge profit as well!”
Happy’s business sense was actually pretty good.
As of current, the price for Fire Qilin Scales was not low. Forget about the fact that he had just got himself a whole bunch of Fire Qilin Scales, now that Sky Demon Branch collapsed, the spot for the force of power controlling Sky Demon Secret Cave was now empty and available. The forces of power would definitely not miss this rare chance to control it!
But there were not many Sky Demon Orders circulating around the market either.
While Happy thought about this, he moved his gaze to the items he cared about the most.
Those were vessels containing fresh blood.
“…One hundred and thirty-eight drops of Fire Qilin Blood. I’ll give each person from Hunter Clan one drop, and I’ll be more frugal for the remaining Fire Qilin Blood.”
Happy then thought in his head, ‘This time, after destroying Sky Demon Branch, I can be considered to have dealt a huge blow to Dream Clouds and Class One Hall. Dream Clouds might not let things slide like this.
‘Blood Alliance and the elites from Class One Hall should be working together soon…’
As of current, Blood Alliance and Class One Hall had great foundations of strength, and Happy was certain that Dream Clouds would not just watch Sky Demon Branch being destroyed just like that as well as let someone leave behind such a huge scar on Class One Hall’s body.
If Happy really did that, then soon, the second and third Happy would soon appear.
However, Happy did not intend to stop after destroying just Sky Demon Branch.
This time, the other main instigator for attacking Hunter Clan was Blood Alliance, and Happy did not wish for his former best friend to be completely free from worry.
“Blood Robes… it’s your turn now.”
*****
When he left Sky Demon Branch, not a single Class One Hall member stopped Happy. The other factions of power also sensibly gave way, allowing Happy to ride on his horse and leave into the distance. He then vanished once more from the people’s sights!
This time, Happy did not immediately upload his fight against Class One Hall to the pay-to-view battle replay system.
In fact, no related information could be found on the free forum.
Aside from all sorts of battle replays witnessing the destruction of Sky Demon Branch from the distance and how Sky Demon Branch was filled with corpses, the Class One Hall members seemed to have all come to some sort of unanimous agreement that they would not upload this battle replay online.
It caused no one to be able to see the details of how Happy destroyed Sky Demon Branch.
Many people could understand why they did not upload the battle replay.
After all, this time, the victim was Class One Hall, and the sight of the accident was Sky Demon Branch, which Class One Hall had always been paying attention to and had been valuing greatly.
But now, the branch was destroyed single-handedly by Happy, and there was no way they could not be angry about it.
It was only natural that such a humiliating fight did not get out to the public.
However, even if they tried to hide it, the shocking news of Sky Demon Branch’s destruction still spread out everywhere on the official website’s forum.
In fact, rumors of Happy’s act in setting up rules had leaked from someone’s mouth.
Once this rumor came out, it swiftly caused the official website to burst into an uproar once more.
Some people said that Happy was conceited.
Some people said that Happy acted on impulse and the code of brotherhood.
There were also some people who mentioned that this time, Class One Hall had dug their own graves. They used illegal suppression methods to attack Happy’s friends, and they had stomped on the limits of Happy’s tolerance.
The destruction of Sky Demon Branch might just be the first segment of his revenge.
*****
“That guy actually managed to do it… Wave-like Subtle Steps?
“Just how many secrets does he have?”
The destruction of Sky Demon Branch brought a huge shock to Class One Hall and Blood Alliance, but it also shocked Tower Master Phantasmal Shadow as well.
Phantasmal Shadow had originally been prepared for the worst, but when she received news that Sky Demon Branch was destroyed and that Happy took away all its resources, she quickly saw that Happy’s wealth had shot up to the top ten on the Rick Rank. Because of it, she also sank into a short period of shock.
He had actually managed to kill thousands of Class One Hall members when it was still bright outside, destroyed Sky Demon Branch’s foundation, and snatched a large batch of resources for himself!
Phantasmal Shadow felt that Happy was getting stronger. She suddenly felt that the hand she kept in the dark in preparation for her to interfere with Happy’s fight against Class One Hall and Blood Alliance did not seem to have any room for maneuver.
He left her control. Happy’s swift development and growth had clearly surpassed her expectations and exceeded the level in which she could control and rein him in.
At that moment, after receiving multiple shocks and surprises, even she could not help but feel lost.
In the beginning, when he fought against Blood Alliance, he proved that his strength was still around. When he fought against Class One Hall elites, he proved that his strength was still at the peak of his condition. When he slaughtered hundreds of Blood Alliance elites, he revealed that he had Tendon Changing Classic and Ten True Dragon Styles. When he fought against Wild Wolves in Gusu City, he worked together with Wandering Know-it-all, and there was no longer any doubt of his status as a top-class elite in the world. Right now, he also revealed that he had Wave-like Subtle Steps. He destroyed Sky Demon Branch and killed thousands of Class One Hall members. The aggressive might he displayed was already enough to make all the giants in the Chinese server to cast sidelong glances at him.
In fact, he already gained the right to stand as equals with them.
Right now, Phantasmal Shadow did not know and could not guess Happy’s next move anymore.
