He could not even drink in peace!

Once Happy saw the group of familiar faces, he decisively finished all his wine. He then wrapped his fist in his palm and saluted the people around him.

“Sorry about that, everyone. They’re here for me. Continue, don’t have your fun destroyed because of me! Big Brother Thunder, I’ll let you handle this. I’ll be taking my leave first.”

Once he finished speaking, he moved like a phantom, weaving in and out of the crowd, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards were not easy to deal with. They instinctively wanted to flip the tables and chase after Happy, but they soon noticed that the atmosphere was not right.

The moment Happy left, the entire first floor of the restaurant became quiet!

Six hundred or so gazes stared at them with hostility.

In fact, some people even activated their body fortification techniques and stood up. They stared at them with animosity.

It was especially so for the table where Happy had sat. There were around ten powerful presences there. With such displaye, the group of sect masters managed to prevent the guards from getting involved in a farce of knocking over the tables and breaking the walls to chase after Happy.

“Down the stairs!”

“After him!”

The Embroidered Uniform Guards were not idiots. When faced with that sort of atmosphere, they decisively chose to go back from where they came.

Thud, thud, thud…

The group came and went in a hurry.

“Heh, it’s fine. Everyone, continue drinking!”

Thunderous Battle, Little North, and the others were naturally notified a long time ago by Happy himself that he had a bounty over his head and was being chased. So in a moment, they became calm again and stood up to placate the group. “Once Happy shakes off those Embroidered Uniform Guards, he’ll naturally come back. Palace Master Absolute, Sect Master Wu, Sect Master Blood, where were we just now?”

“Hmm, even though the three great sects have retreated from Baokang, we can’t be certain that they won’t return and attack us. With their strength, if they really come back, it will be very hard for the four sects to fight against them. Besides, it’s impossible for Happy to remain in Baokang all the time. I think that we should work together with our brothers from Chivalry Sect and form an alliance between five sects!”

Absolute Nonsense did not make an offhand comment. His expression was stern, and it seemed like he had thought through the details about it.

When Wu Qing and Blood Rivers in Nine Heavens heard his suggestion, they nodded quietly.

Even though if they added another ally to join their alliance meant that their benefits in the future would be reduced, with their abilities, it was impossible for them, the three local sects, to monopolize the resources in Shennongjia. As for Mu Clan, they had not become truly strong just yet, and it was going to be a challenge for them to even defend themselves.

Absolute Nonsense had suggested drawing in Chivalry Sect because Chivalry Sect was the only one among the four great sects who did not join the attack on the three strongest local sects. It bought them quite a lot of favor from the three sect masters. Besides, Chivalry Sect had always been supported by the people with the way they did things.

“An alliance between five sects?”

Thunderous Battle was tempted when he heard it, and he looked toward one of the chiefs who had been sent over by Chivalry Sect as their representative to congratulate the establishment of Mu Clan.

The chief had an astonished expression on his face; he seemed to be surprised.

If they wanted to draw Chivalry Sect to their side, that was a good move.

As of then, the alliance of the great local sects had yet to take shape. In the immediate future, they would definitely suffer all sorts of setbacks, and the three great sects might return to take revenge as well. If Chivalry Sect joined them, the threat from the three great sects would be reduced by a lot.

And with the intimidation factor of Happy, Thunderous Battle, and Little North, Cold Moon Palace would definitely not dare to act recklessly. With that being the case, the three great local sects would not have to fear one of the three great sects.

The alliance was practically in the bag!

“We might have to wait for Chivalry Sect’s master to decide on this matter,” Thunderous Battle said with a frown. After all, the representative from Chivalry Sect was just a chief. They might be talking about the distribution of resources on the surface, but they were talking about the major matter of fighting against the three great sects in secret.

The chief from Chivalry Sect naturally understood this. He smiled and said, “This is easy. In truth, our Vice Sect Master Red Dust and Vice Sect Master Lin Xiao have set out to come here when they heard that Happy and Thunderous Battle were prepared to form a sect. I think that they will be here in less than an hour. When they arrive, you can talk about this in detail with them.”

“Oh!” Everyone’s eyes brightened, and their spirits lifted. “That’s great!”

If Lin Xiao and Red Dust personally came over to congratulate them, it served to show just how highly Chivalry Sect regarded Happy. There was a high chance that they could facilitate the alliance between the five sects!

The restaurant instantly became even livelier.

*****

When Happy ran out of Baokang while being chased by a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards, his mood was not great. There was a grand mob behind him.

Perhaps it was because everyone found it refreshing to see Happy being chased by Embroidered Uniform Guards that quite a number of players who had been watching the situation around Shennong Restaurant followed Happy out of the town.

By the end, a long dragon made of humans ran out of Baokang in a grand and magnificent manner.

Happy did not know whether he wanted to laugh or cry.

He was forced to summon Hoof Shadow and go hide in the depths of Shennongjia.

“Happy, stop!”

When he was barely more than thirty feet away from Baokang after he summoned his horse, a purplish-red horse came charging at him.

If it were anyone else, Happy would have absolutely ignored them, but the incomplete silver mask on the person’s face was incredibly dazzling under the sun. Happy felt that it was very sudden, and he was so shocked that he was left dumbfounded!

‘Silver Wolf?! Why is he here?!’

“Whoa…” Happy tugged at his reins and slowed down. He watched Silver Wolf approach him swiftly with a puzzled look on his face.

Silver Wolf was originally not certain of Happy’s identity, but when he saw the Hoof Shadow, he instantly cheered up. However, he also noticed the group of Embroidered Uniform Guards and hundreds of players who chased after him. He frowned and turned his horse around so that he could ride alongside Happy.

“I am Silver Wolf.” Perhaps it was because Happy appeared to be amiable and approachable, or perhaps it was because he saw Happy’s battle replay, but the lines on Silver Wolf’s face became slightly gentler. While riding alongside Happy, he even took the initiative to wrap his fist in his palm to greet Happy. “I would like to take up some of your time.”

“Pray tell.”

Happy was a little curious and puzzled about Silver Wolf, who had come uninvited. When he heard his words, he wrapped his fist in his palm and returned the greeting without putting on any airs.

“I want to fight against you.”

“Urk.” Even though he expected it since a long time ago, when Silver Wolf mentioned it on his own, Happy could not help but be stunned.

“Sir, if you came from far away to challenge me, you must have your reasons.” When he saw the determined look on Silver Wolf’s face, Happy did not immediately reject him. “I can agree to it, but while I would have immediately engaged in a fight against you during normal times, right now, you see what’s going on. I have Embroidered Uniform Guards chasing after me, so I won’t be free for a time being.”

When he heard Happy’s answer, a smile that was rarely seen on Silver Wolf appeared on his cold and callous face. “That’ll be easy. I can help you kill them.”

“If I could kill them, I would have done so a long time ago.” Happy smiled bitterly. “Brother Silver Wolf, if you’re not in a hurry, why don’t we increase our speed and shake them off? Then, we can find a quiet place to fight.”

Silver Wolf stared at Happy for a moment, then said, “Alright! You’re even more forthright compared to Lu Mingyue!”

“Lu Mingyue?” Happy was stunned.

“Two hours ago, I met him in a small town to the north. My target at that time was him. I wanted to fight against him, but we couldn’t decide on the victor. He was the one who told me where you were,” Silver Wolf answered.

“Are you saying that your original target wasn’t me?” Happy did not know whether he wanted to laugh or cry. He suddenly felt that he had been indulging a little too much in his own wishful thinking.

Silver Wolf did not notice Happy’s reaction. While he commanded his steed to follow Hoof Shadow, he said, “The Reincarnation of the Killing Star Effect on you hasn’t disappeared yet, which is why I gave up on trying to locate you a long time ago. I didn’t expect that you’re here, but when I learned about it, I came over to meet you. I didn’t expect that you would be used to challenges though. By the looks of it, you didn’t rely on only your luck to firmly stay at the top spot on the Famous People Rank!”

“… Hehe, thanks for the praise.”

It was the first time the duo met formally, and each of them harbored different goals in their hearts while they conversed cordially. Together, they quickly left Baokang and entered Shennongjia.
