Chapter 140: Class One Hall Interferes
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The monks who broke their Buddhist vows from Shaolin Temple had more than just incredibly great fist and staff techniques. Their body fortification techniques, which they had trained by repeatedly striking their bodies, were also famous in the world of martial artists!
Compared to the Mystical Realm bandit leader Happy had killed earlier, the old monk was definitely stronger. Not only was his offensive abilities stronger, his body fortification technique even surpassed those of the Stone Giant in the ancient tomb, making him even harder to deal with.
It was precisely because of that reason that once Happy restored himself to his top form, he decided to treat the monk as the target for training his Flowering Knights’ Song to the tenth realm. A Mystical Realm NPC would give him a lot more experience points compared to the Stone Giants in Blessed Realm!
While Happy methodically fought against the monk who had broken his Buddhist vows, a group of people appeared three hundred and thirty feet away, at the cliff on the other end of the Iron Chain Bridge.
Li Heng, the vice sect master of Heaven Descendants Sect, finally received reinforcements from his sect after he had continuously sent out messenger pigeons during the past hour. The leader of the group was the sect master of Heaven Descendants Sect himself. He was in the later stage of Blessed Realm, and he had one high-tier martial art at the tenth realm.
The sect master was a man with a gentle, feminine, and fair face. His sword’s silvery-white sheath was very eye-catching, and it was covered in jewels.
At that moment, the man stood at the very front of the group and swept his gaze over the five thick and crude iron chains before him. His gaze traveled along them before eventually landing at the summit three hundred and thirty feet away. A light crease appeared between his eyebrows.
“Li Heng, are you certain you saw him come here with your own eyes?” He sounded a little skeptical.
Resignation appeared on the faces of Li Heng and his people.
It was no longer the first time they had heard their sect members’ doubts. When even their sect master asked them the same thing, they felt very gloomy.
Immediately, Li Heng told them everything about how they had followed Happy and seen him reach the bridge with their own eyes. Yet the sect master and the Heaven Descendants Sect’s members around him still had scowls on their faces.
In truth, it was not that they did not trust Li Heng.
It was just that they found it difficult to believe that someone would take such a huge risk to walk to the other mountain using such crude and dangerous iron chains. After all, there was vicious wind blowing at them and fog limiting the vision of anyone who would want to pass to the other side. With such conditions, who would be able to reach the isolated mountain around three hundred and thirty feet away?.
If the map did not show them that there was indeed a red dot moving continuously on the mountain across them, they would have thought that either Li Heng was lying, or the person who snatched the brocade box had played another trick to deceive all of them.
But even if he didn’t, how were they supposed to cross over?
That was the biggest and most serious question the group from Heaven Descendants Sect faced.
Were they supposed to step on the jagged and continuously swaying iron chains that were suspended thousands of feet in the air and walk around three hundred and thirty feet on them? The area ahead was even full of fog!
They were not professional acrobats!
Everyone was silent for a moment before someone was finally unable to hold themselves back from volunteering.
“I’ll go!” A young man walked out from the group and said spitefully, “If he could cross, then we can definitely cross the chains too!”
“This isn’t a joke!” Li Heng reminded him with a frown.
The young sect member sucked in a deep breath. “It’s fine. No matter what, my lightness skill is still pretty good. It’s just around three hundred and thirty feet. It shouldn’t be too hard to cross...”
Once he finished speaking, he jumped on the iron chain and landed sixteen feet away from the cliff.
The iron chain swayed!
The moment he gained his footing, he felt his body sway to the left and right along with the giant chains. He could not control his balance. While screaming in fear, he instinctively groped about in the air to grab onto something. With his arms flailing, he looked to be in an incredibly dangerous situation.
The people on the cliff wiped off cold sweat for their companion!
When they saw him swaying nonstop, one person suggested loudly, “Don’t wait anymore! Use your fastest speed and fly over!”
“That’s right!” another immediately chimed in.
The young sect member’s face was already very pale and unsightly. When he heard the advice, he came to a realization and gritted his teeth. He made certain his next landing spot a dozen feet ahead of him, tapped on the chain, jumped into the air, and went to shift to that point.
But right when he jumped up, the mountain gust that had not been strong suddenly became a little stronger.
His light body was blown to the side a little while he was in the air!
“No!”
The young sect member’s face turned stark pale, and he panicked. He was instantly like a punctured ball that was blown a few feet to the side by the wind.
The people on the cliff saw him being blown a few feet away from the iron chains like a kite. Once he left them, he screamed and plunged down into the abyss.
Before he could achieve his goals, he died!
When the members of Heaven Descendants Sect saw their companion blown down to his death, all of them held their breaths. They looked at each other at a loss, and their hearts filled with fear that chilled them to the bone!
Quite a number of female sect members sucked in sharp breaths. They could not help but take a few steps back, afraid that they would be the next to be blown into the deep abyss.
“That was a close call...” The sect master of Heaven Descendants Sect exchanged a terrified look with Li Heng.
In truth, they had wanted to use their lightness skills and fly over the bridge themselves, but based on what they saw, they had clearly underestimated the Iron Chain Bridge that even birds would find difficult to traverse.
The mountain gusts were much more troublesome than they thought before. If they had been slightly more rash, they might have ended up like their companion—they would have been crushed to pieces!
Just when the two were troubled by the complicated feelings brought by vexation and relief that they had escaped from a disaster through sheer luck, a shrill laughter rose from behind them.
The expressions of Heaven Descendants Sect’s members changed, and they turned their heads around.
“Who is it?!”
Before Li Heng could finish speaking, an arrogant and wild voice reached their ears.
“Me!”
The sounds of fluttering sleeves rose swiftly. Then, a person landed right in front of the people from Heaven Descendants Sect.
They sized him up. HE was tall and well-built. His face was filled with unswerving determination, but there was a wild and evil look in his eyes. He had his arms wrapped around his chest, and there was a mocking smile on his face. He had a pair of black metallic claws on his hands, and the ten sharp claws shone with a savage light.
Even though he faced a group of Blessed Realm players from Heaven Descendants Sect, he did not show the slightest bit of fear. Instead, he had the air of supremacy that made it seem as if he stood above them, and it angered the members of Heaven Descendants Sect!
“You’re from Class One Hall?”
The sect master of Heaven Descendants Sect had a keen eye. At first glance, he saw part of the emblem that was revealed on the person’s chest. He frowned and revealed the man’s status in his solemn words.
The moment he spoke, the expression of the Heaven Descendants Sect’s members changed.
Class One Hall was the name of a player group who had made a name for themselves for years in the world of VR games. It was said that they had used all their money to extract themselves from many popular VR games so that all of them could join World of Martial Arts, and they had already created more than three sects. All of them were already famous in the game.
It was no wonder then that the members of Heaven Descendants Sect lost their voices once they learned of the man’s identity.
It was said that the five hundred or so top-class members of Class One Hall had all reached Blessed Realm half a month ago. More than 70% of them knew high-tier martial arts! They were not people small sects could hope to stand up against!
The gaze of the sect master of Heaven Descendants Sect was complicated. He stared into the eyes of the person who had come over and sucked in a deep breath. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “If Class One Hall has come here, does that mean that the owner of the brocade box at Shaolin Temple has finally been decided?”
