  “Bastard!”

  “If it weren’t because of his geographical advantage, I would have gone over and torn him to shreds!”

  “Damn him! How dare he kill my brother! Just you wait, I don’t believe that you won’t come over here!”

  The people only regained their courage once they retreated through the chains. When they calmed down, they turned around and cursed up a storm at Punishment Mount while standing on the opposite the cliff. None of them were willing to leave just like that.

  But all of them knew in their hearts that the power and lethality contained in the slash back then surpassed what they could withstand. Even if there was no natural chasm between them, they could not hope to stand up against the mysterious person in blue robes.

  What caused them to stay, however, was the brocade box!

  In just a dozen minutes, the storyline quest would come to an end, and the final ownership of the treasure of the brocade box would be decided. They wanted to know just what sort of treasure was contained in it.

  Besides, all of them had hostile thoughts in their minds.

  The event had yet to end, so who knew if some miracle would happen.

  Their guess was not wrong.

  A miracle did indeed happen. A group of people that numbered to around thirty charged down the mountain. They were elites that had the emblem of three drops of blood on their chests, were fully geared, and had extraordinary presences, which soon filled the Iron Chain Bridge.

  “Class One Hall!”

  The people who had remained on the cliff quickly recognized the newcomers. They sucked in sharp breaths and paid special attention to the woman who was escorted in the middle. She had a curvaceous body, but a silver veil hid her face, and she also had a head accessory inlaid with gold in her hair.

  Everyone waiting at the cliff became even more excited.

  “It’s the leader of Class One Hall!”

  “She seems very beautiful!”

  Right when they finished speaking, dozens of fierce gazes shot toward them at the speed of lightning! When they saw the warning looks from the people from Class One Hall, the crowd hunched their shoulders and stopped talking. They left the area around the Iron Chain Bridge.

  “Hall master.”

  Once the newcomers set up a proper defense around Iron Chain Bridge, Netherworld shot into their midst like a phantom. He wrapped his fist in his palm and greeted the woman with the golden head accessory.

  Even though the mountain wind blew at them, revealing the figure of the hall master of Class One Hall, Netherworld did not dare to stare at her for too long. His gaze was trained on the ground, and he looked very respectful.

  The hall master of Class One Hall did not seem to have heard him. She arrived in front of the Iron Chain Bridge, but did not look at the five iron chains in front of her. She stared at Punishment Mount from the distance. Her robes fluttered, and her silver veil stuck to her face. She looked like an immortal who had descended to the mortal world.

  Netherworld did not dare to be negligent. He told her everything that had happened in a low whisper before he shut up and stood still behind her. He did not dare say anything else.

  The members of Class One Hall in the area did not say a single word from the start to the end of his narration. Just like Netherworld, they stood by the side with respect on their faces.

  From this alone, it was not difficult to tell just how high was the position of the hall master of Class One Hall in their hearts. Her leading skills and prestige were obvious.

  She watched Punishment Mount for a while before her voice came from under the silver veil. “How great are the chances of us taking that brocade box?”

  Her words were clearly aimed at Netherworld, who was behind her.

  He answered without any hesitation. “One hundred percent!”

  The expressions of the people around him did not change. All of them believed that it was only natural.

  Class One Hall was one of the most influential gaming guilds in China. They had entered World of Martial Arts in a timely manner, and their reaction had been swift, which was how they had managed to take the lead among the other gaming guilds of the same level. As of then, they had ten people who had reached Grandmaster Realm with their high-tier martial arts!

  There were three such people gathered at the cliff.

  The other people who had not reached Grandmaster Realm would still be considered top-class players in the game. Many sects would seek after them, and they might even be in charge of some sects themselves.

  If Class One Hall could not get rid of a nameless Blessed Realm player with such strength at their disposal, then no one would believe them if they told it.

  “Alright.” The hall master of Class One Hall turned around in a lackadaisical manner and stared at Netherworld. “If that’s the case, I’ll let you handle this matter. Seize the brocade box from Punishment Mount in these last few minutes. If you manage it, the position of sect master of the third sect we’ll build in Jiangnan will be yours.”

  “I understand!”

  When Netherworld heard her words, he was delighted, and his spirits lifted.

  By then, Class One Hall had more than ten sects set in the various regions in China. Each of the sect masters and vice sect masters could retrieve the best martial art manuals, weapons, equipment, and various medicinal pills from the guild resource pool. As long as anyone reached such a rank, their progress would increase by leaps and bounds.

  Once the hall master of Class One Hall finished speaking, she did not say anything else. She left them, and her pretty figure soon disappeared from the summit like a wisp of smoke.

  “This bridge is a little dangerous. How should we cross it?”

  Once the hall master left, everyone relaxed. They were no longer as stern as before. While joking around, they gathered together and began to discuss what they would do.

  “Congratulations, Netherworld! You’ve been here for a while, you take command,” someone suggested.

  Netherworld did not reject the offer. He nodded and immediately told them his plan.

  They had no time to waste and divided their tasks without hesitation.

  Two fully geared sect members brought out green snake tendons from their Universe Bags. They curled them around their bodies again and again, and when they tugged them, they refused to budge. They looked incredibly firm and sturdy.

  “Let me!”

  When they arrived in front of Iron Chain Bridge, one of two people brought out one of the snake tendons and threw it out with a loud whoosh. The snake tendon circled around all five iron chains a few times, forming a few firm loops before tying all of them together.

  The person’s movements were very nimble. He quickly tied the five iron chains into a bundle, and the amplitude of oscillations became much smaller.

  But that was not all.

  When he stepped on the Iron Chain Bridge, he wrapped another segment of the chains. They became even sturdier, and soon, they looked like a simple man-made bridge.

  The man’s actions excited the players who watched from the distance.

  “Amazing!”

  “As expected of an internal member of a seasoned guild. They actually managed to think of such a method!”

  The people clicked their tongues in the distance.

  Once the iron chains were bound together, even normal players who had not reached any qi realm would be able to safely cross while holding onto the chains for support. It was no wonder then that the hall master of Class One Hall had handed someone else the task of seizing the tribute from Punishment Mount. As long as they got rid of the disadvantage imposed on them by the iron chains, it would not matter how strong the person on Punishment Mount was. He would not be able to do anything against so many Blessed Realm players.

  Half of the task to secure the iron chains was soon finished.

  At that moment, Netherworld was full of confidence in taking down Punishment Mount and continued to give orders.

  “Have four people guard this place over here. The others, follow me! Remember, once we pass the area with the white fog, four archers should protect us with arrows. The others, seize the time to get on the cliff as quickly as possible! Remember this, don’t let him get close to the cliff. We cannot let our efforts go to waste.”

  The series of arrangements made it sound as if they were about to take down a game boss. Their organization was flawless!

  The other sect members did not voice any opinions. They left behind four people to guard Iron Chain Bridge and walked onto the bridge like fish in water. They headed to the other mountain at a rather swift pace.

  At that moment, no matter how strong the mountain wind between the two mountains was, it could not affect the members of Class One Hall, who had their hands on the iron chains and walked on steady ground.

  Happy had been watching Class One Hall’s actions from the other cliff. For the first time, he scowled, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

  ‘Class One Hall…… they are indeed remarkable!’

  If anyone else had seen it, they might not be able to sit still anymore and would start making preparations to leave.

  But Punishment Mount was a lone mountain. Unless Happy jumped off the cliff to commit suicide, he had nowhere to go!

  Happy took in a deep breath. He did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly brought out lancet knives from his Universe Bag and spread them on the ground before himself. They were all close to each other.
