Chapter 241: The Concerns of Yipin Hall

“Lord Ao! Speaking such things so soon… Isn’t it too early??”
Happy, who should have been at his weakest, suddenly shook off his injuries. His hoarse voice turned cold as he raised his head; the paleness on his face had faded somewhat, and a terrifying aura surged from him with even greater intensity.
“…”
Ao Cangsheng’s triumphant steps halted abruptly. He stopped, staring at Happy in disbelief, then glanced at his disciples, whose faces also showed utter astonishment.
The disciples panicked. They looked down at the Heart-Devouring Silver Snake resting in their palms, then back at Happy, only to witness a scene that made them gasp.
“It seems the Heart-Devouring Silver Snake doesn’t want to drink blood from my heart… It’s a bit off target.”
As he spoke, Happy removed his hand from his chest in front of them. There was a deep red wound slightly away from his heart. The bleeding had stopped thanks to the effects of the Yulu Pills, and the wound had healed significantly.
Ao Cangsheng’s face turned ashen; the young man from the Five Poisons Sect, holding the Heart-Devouring Silver Snake, also appeared extremely embarrassed and at a loss.
The group of Five Poisons Sect disciples behind them fell back from a state of euphoria into the harsh reality once again. Seeing Happy draw out the Silver Wolf Break Emperor Sword once more, their expressions grew even darker—they could sense the growing chill surrounding Happy!
“Heart-Devouring Silver Snake, you won’t stay.”
In a flash, Happy disappeared from his spot. When he reappeared, he was already beside the young man…
The young man screamed and quickly tried to retrieve the resting Heart-Devouring Silver Snake. But Happy, knowing how dangerous it was, wouldn’t let the Five Poisons Sect keep it. If not for his timely use of the Dragon Form to avoid the fatal strike, he might have died already.
A flash of sword light!
“Ah!!”
With a scream, the young man’s arm was severed from his body and flew into the air. Both the snake and his hand lost control. Another flash of light, and the Heart-Devouring Silver Snake was cut in two mid-air, falling lifelessly to the ground under the young man’s distorted, pale gaze.
“I’ll kill you!”
“Bastard!”
“Compensate me for my snake!!!”
Ignoring his severed arm, the young man rushed to the snake’s corpse, his face twisted in hysterical rage, his cries evoking pity in many.

“The Heart-Eating Silver Snake,” like ordinary poisons, must have been acquired from the outside world. But like ordinary poisonous insects, it can also be killed, so it needs to be carefully separated and protected! It makes sense—such an elite venomous snake, even beyond what Ao Cangsheng possesses, was likely obtained by the young man through great effort. Now that it’s in Happy’s hands, its strength must be greatly diminished!

Even after killing the Heart-Eating Silver Snake, Happy sighed slightly, staring at its lifeless body. He thought that if it were still alive, its value would be no less than that of a low-grade magic weapon. It’s a pity it fell into the hands of the Five Poisons Sect.

But…

When the ambush was successful, the opponent was extremely arrogant and triumphant. Seeing the young man, who had lost an arm and was frantically clutching the silver snake’s body, Happy didn’t bother looking further. Nor did he pay attention to Ao Cangsheng, whose face was pale with fear, and continued walking toward the foundation stones of the sect’s main hall.

“Stop!”

Ao Cangsheng’s roar came from behind. Immediately afterward, a gust of wind hit him!

Happy simply shifted slightly just before the wind hit him. The sharp edge of his Silver Wolf Breaker Sword soared into the air. With a scream and a muffled thud, sudden silence fell over the Five Poisons Sect’s main hall—as Ao Cangsheng’s arm fell to the ground.

Happy ignored this completely. Looking down at Ao Cangsheng, who was kneeling on the ground clutching his arm, he spoke coldly:

“I’m sparing your life only so you can witness with your own eyes the destruction of the sect you created. That’s the only reason. So… don’t force me to kill you!”

These words caused a stir among the crowd.

“What an arrogant guy!” someone commented. “But he has the right to be arrogant…”

“It seems no one can stop the destruction of the Five Poisons Sect.”

“Not necessarily.”

“The people from the Falling Feather Sect have arrived too. Situ Falling Feather is over there. I heard he also has a grudge against Happy. If he gets involved, Happy might not be able to get away unscathed.”

“Oh?”

The chatter in the crowd and the curious gazes from all directions made Situ Falling Feather nervous. He lowered his voice and said to the two distinguished men beside him, “What should we do now, leaders? If we wait any longer, Ao Cangsheng will be finished, and the Five Poisons Sect will perish too.” After all, they were brothers in the same guild, and he had a good relationship with them personally. He certainly didn’t want to see Ao Cangsheng fall into such a desperate situation, even to the point of deleting his account and starting over.

The two men beside him were high-ranking members of the guild. With just their word, even a hundred Happys here wouldn’t be able to destroy the Five Poisons Sect!

But…
One of them spoke with a grave expression:
“Ao Cangsheng won’t perish, but… the Five Poisons Sect is done for.” His gaze carried a sinister undertone, yet his demeanor exuded an air of superiority. His decisive tone made it clear he had no intention of helping the Five Poisons Sect survive this crisis.
“…”
Si Tu Luoyu was shocked and asked cautiously,
“Do even the two leaders think that Happy can’t be dealt with?”
“Nonsense.”
The man with the sinister gaze glared at him irritably: “How many in the entire martial world can truly compete with us? Happy might just be one of them, but he’s not beyond handling. At most, he’s just an opponent. We may not be able to kill him, but it’s impossible for him to defeat either of us.”
“Then why…”
Si Tu Luoyu still refused to give up any hope of saving Ao Cangsheng.
As soon as he finished speaking, the gentle-looking young man who had remained silent sighed softly: “Si Tu… I know you have a good relationship with Cangsheng, but you must understand—it’s not that we refuse to help, but that we can’t!”
“Huang Sha is right. With our combined strength, each of us might not be able to kill Happy, but we can definitely hold him back. Then, naturally, Happy will back down. But you need to understand our main purpose for coming to Wuhu! If we show up openly, given the friendship between the Heroic Gate and Happy, will they just stand by and do nothing?”
“…”
Si Tu Luoyu was smart enough to grasp it immediately.
Happy had rushed into the Five Poisons Sect alone, determined to avenge “The Universal Remedy.” It was already an unfair fight for him to face the entire sect alone. If they interfered as well, the people of the Heroic Gate would surely step in, possibly triggering an early outbreak of war in Fox Cave!
And that wasn’t even the worst scenario…
If the First-Class Hall stepped forward to support the Five Poisons Sect, there was a high chance it would push Happy directly into the Heroic Gate’s path, giving them a huge advantage.
To be honest, this was the last thing the First-Class Hall wanted to happen.
