‘That brat!’
‘He sure hid himself well!’
When they heard Happy’s familiar voice, Young Lonely Black, Young Lonely White, and Young Lonely Seven gritted their teeth and cursed in their hearts.
*****
When it came to lying in wait, none of the people from the seven great system-allocated sects who entered the royal mausoleum, regardless of whether it was Soaring Tiger Sect, Hidden Soul Guild, or the beautiful mistresses from Emei Sect, could match up to Happy.
His blue robes were very inconspicuous when he mixed into the sects whose members were dressed in various clothes. He had also wiped his face with the blood from the battles just then and ruined his handsome face for no reason. It made him no different from a Beggar’s Sect disciple. However, he had not taken any action since the start. He wore an Iron Ring, and anyone in the group had much better equipment than him.
Happy did not want to meet up with the people from Beautiful Robes Faction just then.
One of the reasons was Xu Yao. He had yet to make the decision on whether he should appear before them with his real face and give her the chance to openly approach him. The other reason was because of the Soaring Tiger Sect members who were gathered outside the royal mausoleum.
The hundreds of Soaring Tiger Sect members made him smell a scheme from the quest given to the seven great system-allocated sects. It was why he had not appeared and just chose to watch from the sidelines.
The people from Soaring Tiger Sect had suffered great losses. Beggar’s Sect and Hidden Soul Guild were the same too. But that had nothing to do with him, so he just happily watched as it happened. Only when Ghost Face Wall was broken and Beautiful Robes Faction was threatened was he unable to help himself and give them a reminder.
At that time, since the situation was too chaotic and dangerous, even the Three Lonely Wolves had not managed to identify his voice. Thus, he continued to lay low!
When Happy entered the tunnel with the people from the other five sects, he naturally experienced a rather horrifying encounter while in the crowd.
He saw twenty or so ninjas work together with the Shadow Martial Artists who moved with great agility and possessed astonishing damage. They made the disciples from the five sects who wanted to steal all the treasure chests that served as burial goods in the royal mausoleum suffer devastating losses.
Happy moved like fish in the water in the crowd. He had Golden Bell Cocoon and also Phantasm Body Movement Skill, so he was completely free from danger!
However, he still managed to catch a flash of black which followed behind the ninjas with a keen eye!
The Shadow Ninja!
They were Life and Death Realm mini Bosses who were skilled in ninja arts and whose abilities were above Shadow Martial Artists in the royal mausoleum.
When Happy saw the people from the five sects swiftly defeated and retreating quickly, He, who had planned to run inside alone and steal all the treasure chests inside, thought about the threat that would come from the Shadow Martial Artists working together with the Shadow Ninja. He grew worried about the safety of his Beautiful Robes Faction coursemates, which was why he was forced to retreat.
Once he returned to the main hall in the royal mausoleum, Happy hid himself among the players who circulated their qi and treated their wounds while looking at the shadow quietly.
However, it was very difficult to notice the Shadow Ninja with a naked eye.
Happy did not want to stir up too many people’s attention either in such a situation. Only when he saw that two groups of people from Beggar’s Sect die under the Shadow Ninja’s hands, he finally let out a word of warning.
However, his warning seemed to be a little unnecessary at that moment.
When the first group of people died in a baffling manner, many people had already put up their guard and paid attention over there. Once the Shadow Ninja showed her face for the second time, she was immediately discovered.
Yet even so, when they were targeted by the Shadow Ninja, who posed a great threat to them, the Beggar’s Sect members felt their hearts chill. They quickly retreated at full speed and did not even bother about the ninjas they surrounded. They just fled for their lives.
But that was not surprising at all. There had been only around thirty Beggar’s Sect members alive in the main hall of the royal mausoleum. When six of them died in one breath, the remaining twenty-seven people would probably not even be able to trap the ninjas. If they could not do that, then how could they have the ability to fight against the Shadow Ninja as well?
However, the Shadow Ninja quickly turned into a faint layer of black shadows once she killed a group of people. She quickly vanished from the disorderly and chaotic battlefield and disappeared from the people’s sights.
A few Beggar’s Sect disciples retreated close to the Shadow Ninja by sheer coincidence.
The black katana swiftly sliced across their bodies through the air!
Thud!
Three people’s corpses fell on the ground.
The strange ninja art, ruthless attacks, and astonishing sword technique caused everyone in the main hall of the royal mausoleum to feel endangered.
It was especially so for Beggar’s Sect!
They were the first group of people to be targeted, and those who died next might still be their people.
“Our comrades from Beautiful Robes Faction, please help us!”
The disciples from Beggar’s Sect charged to the people from Beautiful Robes Sect. As of then, the only one who could extend a helping hand to them was Beautiful Robes Faction.
“Damn it!”
However, it was the first time they had ran into such a strange opponent, and Beautiful Robes Faction did not have much experience and confidence in dealing with it. Yet when they saw the people from Beggar’s Sect head over, they could not get angry, because the people from the other sects were fully occupied.
“Let me.”
Butt Shaker moved to the front of the group. When One Circle was busy fighting against a Shadow Warrior, he was the only one whose defense was slightly higher. However, he was not very confident when faced with an enemy he could not see.
The Three Lonely Wolves paid no mind to Shadow Ninja getting closer to them. They were completely calm as they swept their gazes through the hall in search of Happy. In their minds, as long as Happy was around, the people from Beautiful Robes Faction would not be in danger.
At that moment, the black katana quietly appeared behind another Beggar’s Sect disciple!
Thud!
Butt Shaker had been waiting for it. He bent his knees slightly, and his gaze focused. He shot up like a cannonball and used his body to crash into the strange black sword glare.
But Butt Shaker had clearly underestimated the attack from the Life and Death Shadow Ninja.
Even though his high-tier body fortification technique had a rather high realm, in the face of a high-tier sword technique learned above Mystical Realm, it was clearly not enough! At the moment he crashed against the Shadow Ninja’s body, the latter reacted very quickly, and she shifted her attention from the Beggar’s Sect disciples to Bum. Then, a breathtaking black light sliced through the air.
“Urk!”
The black katana cut through Butt Shaker’s body fortification, and when it sliced upward, a bloody stream instantly shot out of Butt Shaker’s shoulder. Then, he was sent far away with a cleanly executed kick.
The Shadow Ninja sheathed her sword and once again became invisible!
However, a few people noticed the faint shadow she cast on the ground when she moved like the wind to quickly catch up to Bum.
“Careful!”
“Bum! She’s behind you!”
Various warnings were shouted out, and a few figures swiftly shot out from Beautiful Robes Faction. NotaRascal, Rampaging Dragon, Puffy God, Tea Words, Phoenix Dances, Glutinous Rice, and Little Jade left the group at first notice. They activated their qi realms and body fortifications, and all sorts of light from their weapons went charging toward the invisible Shadow Ninja through the air.
Even though the Shadow Ninja had extraordinary ninja arts, it was still just a camouflage. Compared to Dead She-wolf’s complete invisibility, it was inferior. She had to face an offense that came charging at her from all directions, and because of it, several bloody streams of light rose into the air. The Shadow Ninja’s curvaceous body appeared while she staggered back. She cast a vicious glance at the people from Beautiful Robes Faction while shooting backwards. The moment she vanished, a ball of smoke exploded at the spot where she stood.
With the coverage provided by the ball of smoke, the Shadow Ninja vanished once again from the people’s sight.
“Careful!”
The people from Beautiful Robes Faction increased their guard!
They quickly retreated together and pressed their backs together while looking around them attentively. They even held their breaths and did not dare to miss even the slightest changes and flow of air around them.
