Sword Among Us Chapter 1160

There were not many players who stayed in Dragon Gate Inn. Only around one hundred people came over. But once they noticed that it would not be easy for them to get the treasures in the desert palace, even Phantasmal Shadow and her party decided to compete in the plot-related quests in Dragon Gate Inn. All of them fought fiercely!

Since the Embroidered Uniform Guards were a huge organization. Many people joined the imperial court to fight against Cao Huaian, Qiu Moyan, and the other forces from the common people. As for Phantasmal Shadow and her party, they joined the common forces.

For the entire night, Dragon Gate Inn was filled with the shadows and lights from weapons. A group of masked people in black fought fiercely on the roof.

Quite a lot of people understood the goal in this battle in secret.

“These people are mad. It's just the first night. Cao Huaian and the First Grade Leader from the Embroidered Uniform Guards aren't even here yet, and these bastards are already fighting so fiercely…”

Wu Kuo quickly spoke to answer his friends' puzzlement. “Right now, we have the upper hand, but once the First Grade Leader from the Embroidered Uniform Guards arrive, the situation will immediately change. They don't want us to control Dragon Gate Inn so quickly.

“When the First Grade Leader leads the army over, we'll be in trouble! We have to fight harder!”

“My friends, hang on!

“Wind Assault Tower didn't bring a lot of people over. As long as we can last until day, the army from the Embroidered Uniform Guards will arrive, and this quest will be ours! Wind Assault Tower can only stand by the side and watch!”

“Hang on!

On the other side, someone from among the masked people in back kept on boosting the morale of those in the same group as he was. Judging by his voice, he seemed like Niu Dali, the sect leader of Stained Shirt Sect.

The sounds of fighting on the roof instantly became even fiercer.

Wind Assault Tower might have brought dozens of elites, but they had to face West Region elites and the other forces of power. The number of enemies they had to face was twice the number of people they had. All of them were powerful as well. Both sides fought to a stalemate on the cold roof. Neither side let up.

Even though both sides had sacrificed more than ten people, they still fought for four hours. During then, Cao Huaian and the people from Embroidered Uniform Guards returned to their rooms.

The players were also forced to immediately return to the inn. They put away their weapons and stood at a stalemate while positioning themselves at different sides of the inn.

Silver Wolf and his party returned to their seats as well. All four of them had managed to protect themselves during the fight just now. As of current, they occupied one table and did not state their stance in the matter. They just lowered their heads and drank.

“Why hasn't the sect master showed up?”

“That's right, we've been here for half a day. Logically speaking, he should have contacted us a long time ago.” Knife and the others had only been able to protect themselves during the fierce fight just now. Right now, they were not quite confident that they could last until the end and have the last laugh. At that moment, they naturally thought about the person who could break the current stalemate.

Silver Wolf smiled. “He's here since a long time ago.”

“Huh?”

With just one sentence, he attracted Knife, Bar, and Thunder's attention. Their gazes gathered on Silver Wolf's face. “Big Brother Silver Wolf, did the boss contact you?”

“Yeah.” Silver Wolf nodded. “While I was at the roof, he sent a message to me. He saw that the quests in Dragon Gate Inn had been activated while he was passing by the area, and he doesn't want to miss it, that's why he asked us to come over here.”

“What does that mean?” Thunder was stunned when he heard this. “Does it mean that he doesn't intend to show up?”

“Obviously.” Knife cast him a glance.

Silver Wolf nodded. “Happy's goal is the tunnel under the former Dragon Gate Inn, the one that leads to the desert palace. He wants the treasures from the desert palace and the item that Hu Baiwan and the other elites from the dao of heaven are vying for. That's his goal for coming here. The rewards over there are ten times and even a hundred times greater than the quest we received right now. So, tell me, will he get involved in the small quests offered by Dragon Gate Quest?”

Knife, Bar, and Thunder's gazes instantly turned intense.

They fell into silence for a while. Then, Knife spoke worriedly, “But there are already more than four elites in the dao of heaven going to the desert palace. I heard that there are also a few elites in the dao of heaven who have already made camp near the ruins. The sect master might be strong, but if he wants to stand out from among those elites in the dao of heaven and obtain the treasures in the desert palace, it will be…” Once he said this, he did not continue.

The group also had worried looks appear on their faces.

“The sect master will naturally think through the matter regarding the desert palace carefully. Since he doesn't need us to interfere with it, we just need to do what we need to do. Even if we're worried, it's useless.” Silver Wolf waved his hand and explained, “We'll act based on our original plan. With all our strength, we'll try to clear the plot-related quests in Dragon Gate Inn so that the sect master will not underestimate us.”

The other three nodded.

“My dear customer, it's already late, and you went out to take a walk?”

“It's hot, so who are you to stop me?”

The swordswoman, Qiu Moyan, had an aloof look on her face. While the employees in the inn watched with puzzled looks, she walked up the stairs. Suddenly, her pupils shrank, and she brushed shoulders with the mysterious white-clad young man who arrived during the day.

She had also seen what happened during the day in the inn, and naturally, she knew that there were certain people in the inn who were not to be offended. Among them, the one who made her the most wary was this white-robed teenager whose strength was unfathomable.

But now, it was dark, and the white-clad teenager had suddenly come out of his room. The old servant at the later stage of Myth Realm followed behind him, and their appearance caused Qiu Moyan to freeze for a moment.

Once she stopped, she immediately caused the servile old servant to glare at her with a fierce look.

Qiu Moyan said nothing. She frowned, but she did not want to make herself a powerful enemy and cause trouble to herself. She hurriedly looked away and walked back to her room.

At the moment she shut the door, Qiu Moyan saw the white-clad teenager and the old man walk out of Dragon Gate Inn one after the other.

Many people noticed this in the inn, but no one dared to stop them.

Almost at the moment the white-clad teenager walked out of Dragon Gate Inn, one door at the first floor was flung open. Osaya flew out and chased after them like a shadow. She went out of the door.

Bang!

Once those three people left, another door at the first floor was opened.

Hundreds of gazes downstairs moved from the entrance to the first floor again.

Evil King's gaze was cold when he walked out, and the elegant and enchanting Empress Yin walked out as well. They swept their gazes over the hall from above, and whoever saw their eyes found their hearts trembling. They looked away to avoid their gazes.

“Hmph.”

The group in the hall did not even have any will to fight against these two elites at the dao of heaven. Once these two people left the inn, the door was shut once more. The tense atmosphere in the hall disappeared, and plenty of people felt a burden disappear from their chests.

They knew that Evil King, Empress Yin, and the white-clad teenager all had the same goal. They were all headed to the ruins of the former Dragon Gate Inn.

“Tower master.”

Wu Kuo and the others looked at Phantasmal Shadow once they looked away.

“What should we do?”

Phantasmal Shadow's expression was complicated and grave. Her eyes sparkled for a moment before she said, “Bring two of our people over to check. Right now, it's not the time for the desert palace to be activated just yet. Be careful. If something seems off, come back immediately. Do not get into a conflict with the elites from the dao of heaven.”

Even though they knew that the quest was difficult, there was just no reason for them to give up on it when such a rare opportunity was presented to them.

“Got it.”

Wu Kuo chose two people he was quite close with and got up. But he was immediately called back.

“Wait.” Phantasmal Shadow sent him a private message. “Go out from Jin Xiangyu's window. Be careful. Don't let anyone notice you.”

“Got it.”

Wu Kuo and the other three went up the stairs quietly.

After they left Dragon Gate Inn, Happy, Thousand-faced Human Fox, and Osaya quickly noticed the great temperature difference in the world outside and in the inn.

Even though the inn had been rather cold, when they circulated their qi, they could get rid of it.

But once they got out, the three of them immediately noticed just how great the temperature in the desert dropped. Even though they circulated their qi fully, they could still feel a chill seep into their bodies. They could feel a chill even in their bones.

Fortunately, Happy had already mastered Tendon Changing Classic. There was a periosteum inside and outside his body. Heat and cold could not affect him. When he circulated his qi cultivation technique, the chill instantly disappeared.

Osaya was an elite at the dao of heaven, she could remain unaffected by this, but her gaze turned incredibly cold and mysterious under the moonlight from the desert.

Though Thousand-faced Human Fox did not have any amazing body fortification and was not as strong as an elite in the dao of heaven, as one of the four Divine Thieves in the Chinese plains, he could do things that other people could not, and he had lived through many perilous situations before. He looked completely composed as well and was completely unaffected by the cold in the world outside.

Osaya saw all this, and a strange light shone in her eyes.

The group moved through the rampaging wind and sand like a sharp blade. Soon, a group of tents and yurts appeared in front of them. Quite a lot of bonfires were lit as well. People could be seen moving around the area.

“Stay where you are!”

Before the group got closer, someone across them had already shouted at them warily, “Silver Dragon Lama of West Region resides in this place. All those who are unrelated, leave!”

“He's just a nobody in West Region, and he's chased to the perimeter, but he still sounds so arrogant.” Thousand-faced Human Fox snorted derisively. He shot out like an arrow fired from a bow.

Happy did not stop him.

A brief scuffle rose ahead of them. The guards in charge of night shift were dealt with with just a few blows from Thousand-faced Human Fox.

“Who are you?!”

A low growl that sounded like a lion's roar rose from a tent. Soon, a silver saber glare shot out from within to head to Thousand-faced Human Fox, who stood near a bonfire.

'An elite at the peak of Myth Realm?'

Happy was stunned.

With his spirit sense, Happy could see the person's qi realm and face. Happy could tell that this person was slightly stronger than Thousand-faced Human Fox, but the thief's had outstanding lightness skills. When he faced those at the peak of Myth Realm, he could protect himself, which was why Happy was not worried. He calmly arrived at the camp with Osaya.

“Who are you?!”

After exchanging dozens of blows with Thousand-faced Human Fox, Silver Dragon Lama quickly realized that he was rather tough. Besides, two more people with inscrutable strength arrived. His expression changed, and he drew out of the battlefield.

“You don't have to bother about who my master is. You just need to know that you can't offend him!”

Thousand-faced Human Fox put his sword away and stood with a proud look on his face. His words nearly caused Silver Dragon Lama to fly off into a rage.

But no matter what, this man was a person who dominated over one region in West Gion. Even so, when he came to the former ruins of Dragon Gate Inn, he suffered multiple setbacks. He was forced to the perimeter because of a few elites at the dao of heaven and some sect masters from the Chinese plains. Because of it, he held great resentment in his heart, and he was incredibly displeased. He did not expect that he would be mocked by an old man at the later stage of Myth Realm either.

“Ten Thousand Years, stop wasting your breath with him. Focus on the main task.”

Happy and Osaya rushed into the camp from the darkness beyond it, and when they entered the brightly lit camp, Happy did not even look at the built Silver Dragon Lama. He walked right past the man and headed further into the camp.

“You're asking for death!”

He was underestimated once again. This time, he was underestimated by a youngster whose qi realm did not seem high. Silver Dragon Lama's killing intent instantly rose, and it started swelling madly and uncontrollably.

Boom!

His wide sleeves started dancing. Two terrifying pressures suddenly rose in the air, and black holes that were even more dazzling than the night flew out from his sleeves.

Whoosh!

A terrifying silver light shot out from the black holes that came from his sleeves. They arrived near the teenager at lightning speed.
