World of Martial Arts was shocked!

*****

[Happy died in the royal mausoleum in a strange manner!]

[It seems like an unknown and mysterious boss appeared in the royal mausoleum, and Happy was alone in there at that time, so he died!]

[Is the halo of the most famous player finally going to fade away?]

All sorts of threads reporting Happy’s death filled up the most eye-catching parts of the forum. The view count and replies to each thread were also incredibly high.

The battle replay of Happy walking out of Guanlin Temple was also placed at the top-most position by the official developers. In just one afternoon, its view count surpassed one hundred million.

While people talked about Happy’s death, they shared all sorts of guesses regarding his future.

After all, the time he spent on the Famous People Rank was the longest. He had practically become the staple of it! His strength was also obvious to all. Even the most powerful players on the Dragon Rank and Phoenix Rank were suppressed by the fame of Happy’s strength.

It was especially so when Happy had rushed to the royal mausoleum to kill Ninja King by himself!

They all guessed that Happy’s strength and equipment had reached a new height that most players could not hope to compare to. Perhaps the only people who could fight against him were the handful of people who stood at the top of the pyramid, such as Zhou Yu, One Emperor, and successors of ultimate techniques such as Lu Mingyue.

There were simply too many questions regarding his death.

If he could even kill Ninja King, then Happy’s survivability was not of normal standards anymore, especially once he gained the even stronger Golden Armor Set. It should be said that when he cleared the royal mausoleum, he should face no dangers whatsoever!

But he had died in the royal mausoleum…

Many people could not figure out what had happened.

If Happy had not obtained Golden Armor Set, they might think that he had accidentally run into Old Swordsman and was killed by him, but it was clear that while Old Swordsman was stronger than Ninja King, it would still be difficult for him to hurt Happy, unless Happy was actually stupid enough to provoke Ninja King and Old Swordsman at the same time.

But even amateurs would not do something as stupid as that, much less Happy.

For a period of time, the forum on the official website was filled with discussions!

The puzzlement in the players’ hearts increased day by day.

*****

Happy’s death had also triggered quite a large number of sects and clans in the game.

On the second day the news was confirmed, a group of people from Class One Hall appeared outside Beautiful Robes Faction’s sphere of influence. Nearly one thousand men headed to Beautiful Robes Faction’s headquarters in a mighty wave, and an alarmed atmosphere spread a dozen large cities.

The Beautiful Robes Faction members in the branches quickly went back to the headquarters, and nearly ten thousand people logged in to defend the headquarters.

Boom!

A large battle was about to start. There were signs of a storm everywhere.

*****

At the same time, Class One Hall’s men could also be found near Shennongjia.

However, it was the sphere of influence belonging to the alliance of the five sects. The dozens of people from Class One Hall found themselves surrounded by hundreds of people after they entered and swiftly killed. The attackers did not hesitate at all.

*****

“So shameless. Class One Hall truly knows how to strike when we’re down. Happy just ran into an accident, and they immediately came to Beautiful Robes Faction’s territory. Damn them, if it weren’t for us having more than one thousand people not being able to fight in this battle, I’d definitely go out to deal with them!”

Butt Shaker was so angry that he stomped his feet in the headquarters.

“Bum, you need to remain calm when the situation is dangerous. Class One Hall brought out all its forces from the nearby three branches. If more than one thousand people exit the city, Beautiful Robes Faction will definitely be doomed. At that time, we won’t even be able to protect our headquarters!” Phoenix Dances reminded the people with a grave expression. “This time, no one is to exit the city at will. We will only care about defending the headquarters.”

Tea Words, Glutinous Rice, the Three Lonely Wolves, and the others said nothing. They just stood with grave expressions on their faces.

Class One Hall had come with an aggressive presence. Before they even got close, Beautiful Robes Faction could already sense their foundation swaying, which was a horrible feeling. In truth, they were not confident that they could stop Class One Hall this time.

Right then, their only method was to cordon off the entire city and think of every conceivable way to drag down and weaken Class One Hall’s strength.

Quite a number of people cast their gazes on the man with the incomplete silver mask in the crowd.

It was the great player who had just joined Beautiful Robes Faction—Silver Wolf.

Everyone knew that he was Happy’s friend and in charge of protecting them.

“Silver Wolf, what do you think of our defense this time?” Phoenix Dances asked.

Silver Wolf had a dark expression, and there was even a hint of solemnity that could be seen occasionally on his face. “You’re in great danger! If they have too many people, I won’t be able to bring out my full strength. That’s why you must withstand the first wave for me to see the battlefield clearly. I’ll try to find a way to slowly save the situation.”

One Circle gritted his teeth and responded, “Got it! No matter what, we’ll last through the first wave.”

Tea Words nodded his head as well. “When we were attacked by Class One Hall the first time, we already predicted that we will definitely fight against them again. At that time, we trained up a group of people who specialize in high-tier bow techniques and hidden weapons.”

With Mu Clan’s large amount of resources supporting them in secret, Beautiful Robes Faction had managed to buy many martial art manuals, and among them were Shadowless Knife manuals provided by Happy. Right then, they could make use of them a little.

“By the way, Wolves, what’s the situation with Happy right now?”

Phoenix Dances turned to look at Qi Ci, Chen Fan, and Bai Lang. “I sent him a messenger pigeon, but he didn’t answer me. When I called him, he ignored me as well.”

Without batting an eyelid, Xu Yao had an attentive face in the crowd.

The three men cast each other a glance, sighed, then said, “We don’t know the details either, but it shouldn’t be as bad as you think, because when we checked on him just now, we talked and laughed together, so it can’t be that he’s too affected.”

“Talked and laughed?” Phoenix Dances exchanged a glance with the others. “He can laugh when something so major happened?”

The group felt that the matter was even graver than they initially thought.

With his abilities reduced, Happy’s intimidation factor vanished, and Beautiful Robes Faction immediately felt Class One Hall’s threat. The enemy soldiers were outside the city, and any other person in charge of a sect would not be able to calm down, yet the wolves said that Happy chatted with them happily instead of panicking? Who would believe them?

Phoenix Dances suddenly increased the volume of her voice. “Everyone, even though Happy is the strongest in Beautiful Robes Faction and our spiritual leader, we cannot live under his shadow forever! We must become strong on our own!

“Right now, Happy is in trouble, and it’ll be difficult for him to recover within a short period of time. He’ll definitely not be able to help us, but the weapons in our hands, armor on our bodies, and many of the things in Beautiful Robes Faction have Happy’s mark on them. It contains his contribution to the faction and his blood, sweat, and tears. My brothers and sisters, let us use our actions to tell Happy and Class One Hall that if they want to trample on Beautiful Robes Faction, they must pay a terrible price!”

“That’s right!”

“We’ll fight to the death!”

“We’ll let Happy rest! We’ll fight against Class One Hall ourselves!”

“We’ll make those bastards from Class One Hall die in this place!”

All sorts of hysterical shouts gathered in the air above Beautiful Robes Faction’s headquarter and charged into the sky.
