Sword Among Us chapter 621 - protect the golden bell | English Novels Online

“Alright, we’ll do as you say, Tower Master Shadow. You’ll have one-third of the loot.”

Happy cast Momo a glance. He faced Phantasmal Shadow’s delicate and extremely beautiful face with a pleasant expression. He admired her beauty for a while before he schooled his expression and explained, “Honestly, we have a disadvantage in numbers in this.

“Tower Master Shadow’s suggestion is fair, considering we can get two-thirds of it. It’s fine, Momo, since it’d be very difficult for us to kill those elders one by one with just the two of us. Even if I can kill an Inaction Realm martial artist within a short period of time, I can only fight against two or three of them at the same time. You’ll only be able to handle one, so the remaining two will create a lot of trouble for us.”

Even though he said those words with the clear intention to placate Momo, he also revealed his thoughts and underlying meaning behind his words, telling the people from Wind Assault Tower that they were not to think that they were suffering a loss in this situation. With their strength, all they could do was provide one-third of power.

Momo snorted and turned her head away. She seemed to not be able to accept this decision at all.

But that was not surprising at all.

If Silver Wolf or Little North were around, would the people from Wind Assault Tower even be able to get any loot from them?

The people from Wind Assault Tower sucked in sharp breaths on the spot!

Phantasmal Shadow frowned and stared at Happy’s relaxed face. She was very shocked.

Even she had trouble believing that Happy could kill an Inaction Realm elite within a short amount of time! But Happy did not seem to have any reason to lie to them. Besides, if it was not true, the truth would soon come to light.

If what he said were truly the case, Wind Assault Tower would even owe Mu Clan a favor.

Wu Kuo and the others looked at each other at a loss, and there was a slightly awkward expression on their faces.

The atmosphere between the seven became rather tricky.

It also became much harder to breathe among them.

“If you can kill an Inaction Realm martial artist fast, then I am willing to help you stall for time. Pretend that I didn’t mention the sharing of loot just now.” Phantasmal Shadow’s voice was no longer as flat as before, and there was a slight bit of spite against Momo when she said it.

“Alright!” When Momo heard those words, she quickly agreed to it.

“Momo!” For the first time, Happy used a stern tone in front of others. Then, he wrapped his fist in his palm and saluted Phantasmal Shadow as well as her party.

“It was by pure coincidence that we extended a helping hand to you just now in the tunnel,” he said in a reasonable voice. “That matter is different from this, and we can’t mix them together. If Mu Clan ever needs your help, I hope that you can also extend a helping hand.

“As for now, it’s very simple. We’re forming a party to carry out a quest together, so it’s only natural that we act based on the rules of the world of martial artists and distribute loot accordingly.”

He stopped talking for a moment and turned to Momo. “Don’t say those words again.”

“‘kay.”

Momo pouted. Even if she were stupid, she could already understand that Happy wanted to form a relationship with Wind Assault Tower. At the very least, he wanted them to maintain a friendly relationship.

“Please don’t be insulted by what I said just now.”

When the others saw the great change in Momo’s attitude after she was scolded, they gasped.

It had to be known that very few people in normal sects would scold a top-class elite for something so trivial. The top-class players were all very arrogant, and they could not suffer even the slightest bit of grievance. Every single sect treated them like kings and queens. On top of that, Momo was even a woman, and they usually loved maintaining their dignity in front of others.

But Momo had not turned against Happy. Instead, she willingly took the initiative to apologize. Even Phantasmal Shadow was shocked, and she quickly nodded. “Momo, you must be joking. It’s true that I shouldn’t have asked for a portion of the loot.”

“I already agreed to give you one-third of the loot, and I will keep to my promise. Alright, let’s not talk anymore. We shouldn’t delay matters. Prepare to take action!”

Happy’s words quickly made the people come out of the state of exchanging pleasantries to swiftly enter the preparation stage for war.

“Phantasmal Shadow, take your people and guard the golden bell. I believe that you will have no problem with it. Remember, do not let anyone get close to the golden bell, at least before I kill all the evil cult disciples at the training ground and those evil cult elders appear! This is very important!”

When he reached the last part of his words, Happy could not help but give a stern reminder. He knew very clearly just how many evil cult disciples would charge to the golden bell regardless of all costs at that time.

“Don’t worry. With me around, no one will sound the golden bell.”

Phantasmal Shadow nodded gently. She knew just how important the golden bell was for the evil cult. She also knew that Happy did not just bench her with the task he gave her.

“Move out!”

With that order, Phantasmal Shadow and the others instantly charged toward the centermost palace while moving along the edge of the training ground.

*****

When an unfamiliar presence rose outside the training ground, the sounds of intense fighting finally became slightly scattered.

The group of evil cult disciples eventually stopped sparring against each other under the uneasy presence. They stared at the man and woman at the edge of the training ground with surprise and bewilderment.

“You don’t seem like you’re part of Sky Demon Sect.”

“Who are you?!”

The two evil cult disciples standing in front of the others seemed to have a rather high status. They moved forward together and shouted at Happy and Momo. Clearly, they noticed something wrong about them.

Momo said nothing and ignored the evil cult disciples. Once she obtained Happy’s approval, she slowly lowered her fourth-echelon Nation Protecting Divine Sword, tapped it against the ground, and moved like lightning!

Whoosh!

Under the evil cult disciples’ wary gazes, she became one with her sword, turned into one astonishing white arc, and cut into the crowd!

“How dare you come into Sky Demon Sect?! You’re asking for death!”

“Kill them!”

The evil cult disciples roared in anger. They grabbed their weapons and went up to Momo.

However, they had clearly underestimated her, who had Wind God Technique with her. Her dazzling sword glares were like sharp wind howls. The violent gusts swept through the fallen leaves, and dozens of evil cult disciples screamed in pain and flew outward!

“Hostile forces! Quick! Sound the alarm! Notify the elders in isolation to come here quickly!”

When the evil cult disciples outside the crowd saw Momo’s astonishing momentum and sword skills, quite a number of them realized that the situation was bad. They quickly called out to sound the bell.

“Look! There’s someone at the golden bell!”

“Damn it!” The evil cult disciples rushed to the golden bell in a swarm. “Hurry up! Everyone, go up! No matter what, we have to sound the bell!”

A group of people stayed behind at the training ground to continue fighting against Momo. The remaining ones rushed to the golden bell from a few directions.

Happy moved about at a relaxed pace. He went into the training ground calmly, and wherever he went, those who tried to get close to him and intercept him did not even know what happened before they felt intense pain shoot up their bodies. Once they coughed up blood, they fell back and landed on the ground!

With his robes fluttering, Happy walked past the center of the training ground in a composed manner.

He did not look at Phantasmal Shadow and the others fighting against the evil cult disciples, and neither did he pay attention to Momo’s situation. He just walked to the entrance of the leftmost palace in a relaxed manner.

The entrance to the palace was shut tightly!

Happy walked up the stairs and arrived in front of the door. He placed his hands on the door, and with one push…

Creak!

When a loud, dull sound rang, the door opened slowly. The palace was very quiet. There was a golden Buddha whose name he did not know in front of him, and an emasculated old man sat properly on a cushion. He opened his eyes, which shone with an intimidating light, and fixed them on Happy.
