Chapter 1063: Take Action!

“Keep an eye on him!”
“The boss said that if he changes direction, we are to immediately send a messenger pigeon to report to her!”
“Huh…? Where is he?”
When a few Class One Hall members chased after Happy until they arrived near the ruins of Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters, they suddenly lost track of Happy, and they immediately became so anxious that they broke out in cold sweat. They looked around them, and one of them hastily jumped to a higher spot to look around the area.
“Don’t be anxious. I saw him turn over there just now.” One person stopped his companions when they were about to jump into higher spots blindly to chase after Happy. He pointed at a shop named “Gold Ingot”.
“A bank?”
The group of people quickly walked to the entrance, and they did indeed see Happy talk to an employee in front of the counter of the bank, and they released sighs of relief.
“Thank goodness we didn’t lose him.”
“What’s he doing at the bank?”
“Isn’t he going to Wind Assault Tower?”
“Don’t jump to conclusions. We’ll observe more before we make judgments. If he’s just there to store things, then it’s strange, because we’ve passed by multiple banks on the way, and this bank is the closest to Wind Assault Tower’s ruins.” An observant Class One Hall member reminded his companions.
“True, that.”
The group became silent.
*****
Happy had actually long since noticed the group of people following him, but he ignored them, because Beijing was currently under Class One Hall’s total control now, and it was not quite practical if he wanted to move around Beijing but not be discovered by Class One Hall. Besides, his destination this time was the ruins of Wind Assault Tower’s former headquarters, which was currently guarded tightly by Class One Hall.
“Dear customer, how may I help you?” The employee in front of the counter was very enthusiastic.
When he saw that Happy seemed as if he wanted to store something in the bank, his smile became even wider. “If you’re storing a small number of items, we’ll charge a suitable amount of management fees, and if you’re going to store too many items, you might have to pay the price of a Universe Bag.”
“I have a Universe Bag, and the items I’m storing are all in here.” Happy did not wait for him to speak. He tossed over an exquisite looking bag, as if he had been expecting it. “Take care of it.”
“You don’t have to worry, dear customer.” A high-grade Universe Bag was enough to make the employee put on an obsequious smile. He became even more subservient. “I will definitely manage your items well, and you can come and retrieve them at any moment.”
As he spoke, he put a paper strip to seal the Universe Bag in one familiar motion, and he handed the bag over into the bank through a small window.
Once he was done storing his items, Happy ignored the employee’s enthusiastic recommendations. He just turned around and walked out of the bank.
When he walked out of the door, Happy felt relaxed, as if he had completely set aside all his worries. He sucked in a deep breath and stared into the distance, where the ruins of Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters were.
*****
From the moment Wind Assault Tower’s former headquarters was reduced to ruins, this place was visited by a lot of people, and it was never desolate. The players who passed by the place every day could see that there were dozens of Class One Hall elites stationed around the ruins, and they looked as if they were wasting away their time.
There were a lot of Class One Hall members in the streets around the ruins as well, and when they entered the restaurants, they would see that all seats were occupied by the people from Class One Hall.
Whenever a Wind Assault Tower member got closer, Class One Hall would unhesitantly fix their eyes at them, and then, when the Wind Assault Tower member got out of the restaurant, a group of people would follow him or her.
When Happy walked into the street leading to the ruins, the street instantly became silent.
Thud thud!
The sound of footsteps was very faint.
Class One Hall members with wary and hostile expressions appeared one after another in the restaurants, balconies, and even the roofs on both sides of the street.
When he took a turn and entered the street that was not over 162 feet long, there were already more than two hundred people following behind him and by his sides.
All of them glared hostilely at the person who walked slowly into the ruins of Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters.
Happy ignored the Class One Hall members who appeared around him.
The people who were stationed here by Dream Clouds were all Class One Hall’s elites, but not of them were her aces, which was why he did not need to bother himself with them.
Happy walked in front alone, and soon, he appeared at the field outside Wind Assault Tower’s former headquarters.
This was the first time Happy saw the situation in Wind Assault Tower’s former headquarters after it collapsed.
When he faced the rubble and ruins of Wind Assault Tower’s former headquarters, Happy could not help but remember what happened two days ago. At that time, Wind Assault Tower was still one of the strongest force of power in the Chinese server, and they were not to be infringed upon, but now, times had changed, while the place was still around, the people who were once there were no longer around.
The dense group of black shadows who appeared from the ruins and the compact sounds of footsteps approaching him from the street behind him interrupted Happy’s thoughts. He removed himself from his sentimental thoughts.
His gaze turned cold, and Happy swept an emotionless gaze at the Class One Hall members who were clearly hostile toward him. He narrowed his eyes.
At that moment, someone walked out from the crowd across him.
He was in his thirties, and he was a swordsman with an effeminate appearance. He was in Inaction Realm, and his equipment was pretty decent. He smugly hugged his sword in front of his chest and jumped on a broken wall with a rather prominent bump. He spoke in the tone of a scoundrel who was intoxicated by his success. “You’re Happy…?”
There was no respect in his tone, only mockery and derision. “I know why you’re here, but unfortunately, this place is already in Class One Hall’s control. Unless you kill us all, it’s impossible for you to bring Wind Chimes away from this place safely.”
Happy said nothing. Under countless people’s gazes, he stopped moving.
The effeminate swordsman had not finished speaking. “Wandering Know-it-all and Wind Chimes have declared us as their enemies, and they must be prepared to fight to the bitter end with us. Go back and tell Wandering Know-it-all to have Wind Chimes delete her char and replay the game. It’s already impossible for her Nine Yin Blocked Pulses constitution to exist in the Chinese server!”
The Class One Hall members had smug looks appear on their faces.
Indeed, Wind Chimes was very famous, but right now, the entire Chinese server was under Class One Hall’s control, and no one can stop them from killing Wind Chimes!
That included Happy.
It was impossible for Happy to protect Wind Chimes in a protected zone in the city as well!
When he heard the words from Class One Hall’s effeminate swordsman, Happy finally reacted. He raised his chin slightly and revealed a pair of cold eyes before countless Class One Hall members!
At that moment, many Class One Hall members felt terror in their hearts, as if their blood had been frozen by a bone-chilling chill. They could sense a killing intent charging at them, and it affected even the deepest part of their souls.
One Emperor was rushing over from 328 feet away, and he was suddenly stunned. He instinctively looked in the direction of Wind Assault Tower’s former headquarters.
Wu Kuo followed closely behind him, and he quickly noticed that there was something off about One Emperor’s action and expression.
“What’s wrong?”
“There’s a very powerful sword will ahead!” One Emperor scowled and answered with his voice projected to Wu Kuo and the others behind him, “It’s from Wind Assault Tower’s former headquarters… I’m afraid that Happy has already attacked Class One Hall.”
“What?! In the city?!”
Wu Kuo and the people behind him could not stop themselves. They cried out in surprise at the same time, and their faces were filled with disbelief. “After the headquarters is destroyed, that place has turned into a protected zone that forbids any fights, and it’s protected by the imperial court! Could it be that Happy doesn’t know this?!”
The group of people might have come here on orders, but they did not know the details. When they heard that Happy might have attacked someone in a protected zone in the city, they felt their skin crawl, and cold sweat broke out on their skin.
One Emperor did not say anything else. His expression became even more stern. He tapped against the stone steps of a shop nearby and jumped to the roof like a phantom.
He rushed forward at full speed, and while he was above, he could instantly see all that was happening at the ruins of Wind Assault Tower’s former headquarters.
What he saw caused One Emperor’s pupils to shrink swiftly. He saw that the field outside Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters was filled with people, and there might be more than three thousand people over there!
There were even more players who gathered on the streets nearby to watch!
Happy’s sword will surged upward from the area with the densest group of people.
“Thank goodness. He hasn’t attacked yet.” Wu Kuo followed him, and clearly, he had already noticed what was happening in front. He sighed in relief behind One Emperor, as if he had been released from a huge burden.
But Wu Kuo’s voice faded away, One Emperor suddenly furrowed his eyebrows tightly. He noticed that Happy’s sword will was starting to contain substantial killing intent, and he instinctively cried out in surprise. “This is bad!”
The group was stunned silent, but before they could react to the situation, Happy suddenly rushed into the ruins from beyond Wind Assault Tower’s former headquarters like a sharp sword that had been unsheathed.
Boom!
Under Wu Kuo and the other’s dumbfounded and stunned gazes, Happy seemed to have swiftly released a dazzling ball of flames. Blood red light bloomed violently from among the Class One Hall members.
One Emperor swiftly came to a stop when he was about to reach the roof that was at the border leading to the field outside Wind Assault Tower’s former headquarters.
Wu Kuo and the rest also stopped one after another. They stared at the crazed situation in front of the ruins, unable to believe their eyes. Their faces turned pale.
“It’s over.”
“Happy has definitely been provoked by Class One Hall’s words, and he couldn’t control himself.”
“This is bad!”
Aside from One Emperor, the group of elites from Wind Assault Tower looked panicked, and regretful, and they appeared as if they would never forget this scene.
“Damn it, we’re still too late!”
Under the group’s pale and soulless gazes, the players who were watching released surprised shouts. Their voices were like an explosion.
“What’s going on?!”
“Why is Happy attacking in a protected zone in the city?!”
“This is bad!”
“Is he mad?! This is Beijing! Western Depot, Eastern Depot, Embroidered Uniform Guards, and Six Doors will all chase him to the ends of the earth!”
Many people looked as if they absolutely could not understand why he did this.
As for Class One Hall, when Happy’s sudden and swift ambush instantly killed the effeminate swordsman as well as the group of members behind him, the people around him quickly reacted to the situation, and the group released explosive cheers that sounded like tidal waves, along with even more urgent shouts.
“Awesome!”
“Happy killed someone in Beijing’s protected area!”
“You did great!”
“Hurry up and tell this news to the hall master!”
“Brothers and sisters, you must hold Happy back! The elites from the imperial court will soon arrive! Everyone, attack him together and hold him back! Don’t let him run!”
“Haha! Let’s see what he’ll do later! He might be good, but his head isn’t very bright, huh? This time, we’ll make him drop all his items, and we can even make him sit in jail for a month!”
“Make sure to block the entrances—”
“Don’t be worried about dying, brothers and sisters! This time, we did something great! As long as we can hold him back for a while, when the Beijing elites arrive, he’ll die!”
Such shouts and reminders rose and fell.
Strange, delighted flushes could be seen on the Class One Hall members’ faces. They activated their qi realms and their body fortifications, drew their weapons, and set up defense lines. They were so excited that they could not control themselves.
The area outside Wind Assault Tower’s headquarters instantly became a boiling sea.
Thousands of Class One Hall members threw themselves into encircling and attacking Happy.
The people watching the fight stomped on the ground and found the situation truly regretful. They gnashed their teeth in exasperation, and at the same time, they also longed for Happy to make the best of his mistake and kill more Class One Hall members.
But to Wind Assault Tower, Happy’s offense was the same as him giving them the signal that he was making the situation worse.
Only One Emperor watched by the side quietly at the moment Happy attacked. His gaze was profound, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
