Chapter 934: People from the Blood Alliance

Wanshou Villa.
The second courtyard.
The hunters turned around warily and quickly realized that over twenty players had broken in from outside, causing the team leader and his men to break into sweat.
You see, once the number of people in a courtyard reached fifty, destructive traps would activate. Fortunately, they were still a few short.
Relieved, they then noticed the strange attire and aura of these aggressive martial artists, and their hearts sank again.
The witch woman stepped back quietly and whispered, “Damn it, they’re from the Blood Alliance.”
“I see them…”
The hunter leader’s forehead glistened with sweat. After glancing at the chests of the martial artists approaching cautiously, he understood immediately.
Earlier, “Headhunter” had mentioned in a letter that someone was constantly searching for Happy’s location—these must be them.
The Blood Alliance.
Though they weren’t fully aware of the relationship between Happy and Bloodclothes, they hadn’t expected the enemy to show up so quickly just the next day.
“Don’t panic. Wait and see what happens.”
After giving this low-volume instruction, the hunter leader and his men huddled together.
Wanshou Villa was quite famous, with many traps. Clearly, these intruders brought experts familiar with such traps. They quickly crossed the stream and arrived in front of the group.
These were all experts from the Blood Alliance’s White Tiger Hall, armed with swords and knives. They quickly surrounded the hunters, scanning them with hostile eyes.
“So it’s the experts from the Blood Alliance. I’m Yu Long, the leader of the hunter family… These are my brothers and sisters.”
“Stop talking nonsense!”
The twins impatiently interrupted Yu Long’s speech. “Say!! Who is Happy!!”
Yu Long’s expression darkened instantly…
The expressions of the people behind him were equally grim.
In the world of martial arts, everyone had a strong sense of pride. Just because the Blood Alliance was powerful didn’t give them the right to act arrogantly and condescendingly.
“Very well.”
A similar coldness and ruthlessness flashed in the twins’ eyes.
With a harsh scraping sound, a monstrous serrated sword appeared in their hands!
The people behind them also drew their weapons, and instantly, tension filled the air…
Although the hunters were nervous, they were mostly angry.
At this moment, the teamwork they had cultivated over time came into play.

Two Cross-Training Bodyguards stepped forward, while the trap setters behind them spread out like fans, adopting strange postures.
“Stop!”
It was the expert in traps from the Blood Alliance who first ordered a halt, his face grim as he realized he had overlooked the dozen or so trap setters behind the two Cross-Training Bodyguards…
This was clearly a team that frequented the Myriad Beasts Villa!
Although trap setters weren’t particularly strong in combat, they were hard to deal with, possessing extreme burst power—a fact he, as another trap setter, knew well.
In terms of martial skills, they might be defeated quickly in a fight, but trap setters themselves were death traps…
A static death trap might not be terrifying, but a moving one was extremely dangerous.
The Hunter Family had fourteen trap setters, and in such an environment filled with traps and dangers, even the most skilled warrior would find it hard to escape unscathed…
This was also why the Hunter Family, though obscure, dared to establish themselves in high-level cultivation areas!
The lineup was obvious at a glance!
The trap setters whispered in the twins’ ears for a moment, after which the twins snorted coldly.
They glanced decisively at the dozen or so people in front of them…
As expected, there were two Cross-Training Bodyguards, a Hunter Family patriarch, a witch woman, and the rest were all trap setters—all bearing the Hunter Family’s emblem, with no outsiders.
“Since you say so, then forget it.”
The people behind them breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, seeing so many trap setters ready to unleash their hidden weapons, they still felt uneasy despite their numerical advantage.
In the past…
they had seen trap setters equip themselves with all sorts of vicious hidden weapons and traps.
Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles; Goddess’s Bone-rotting Powder—those were considered mild!
Thunderbolt Fire Bombs; Three Laughs Carefree Powder—these could pose a great threat within a fifty-meter radius.
To be honest, they were worried these trap setters might have those weapons on them.
Especially with a Miao woman who could cast curses nearby…
“These poor wretches.”
“Still not leaving?”
The twins utterly dismissed the Hunter Family group, turning back and ordering, “Guys, hurry up and find a good spot to ambush them. Don’t let that kid get away.”
“This time, to help the Blood-Clothed Alliance leader eliminate his former rival, we’ve spent quite a bit of our own money. If he gets away, all that money will be wasted.”

Although the members of the Hunter Family were angry and unwilling, they didn’t want to create too deep enmity with the Blood Alliance. Seeing that the other side had stopped, they headed toward the first building.
“They saw the traps outside the house… They must know Happy is inside. What should we do?” the Gu Woman asked anxiously.
Yu Long’s expression had already been grim after crossing the stream. Hearing this, he turned to take a look and indeed saw the Blood Alliance members quickly surrounding the house.
“It’s a shame we can’t get distracted once inside. Otherwise, I’d send a message to Happy right away to show these fools what happens.”
“Happy should be fine, right?” The group stopped.
Yu Long shook his head with a complicated expression: “Can’t say for sure.”
“Although Happy is strong enough to take on two lions alone, it seems the Blood Alliance is well-prepared this time—none of them are amateurs. The two leaders are even the famous ‘Sawtooth Brothers’ from the north.”
“Then Happy is in danger.”
“Damn it! I didn’t expect the Blood Alliance to be such despicable people.”
“That’s right. I heard Happy spent a year and a half in the hospital before waking up. They’re rushing to cause trouble so quickly—Xueyi is really too petty.”
“It might not be Xueyi’s doing, but… although we can’t help Happy against the Blood Alliance, we can take the chance to record everything here and post it on the official website…”
The Gu Woman winked cunningly.
Yu Long’s eyes lit up upon hearing this: “Good idea!”
“The Blood Alliance is already hated by many upright people in the martial world. If we push them further into the spotlight, we’ll see how they handle it.”
“Surely someone will step in to help when they see injustice.”
“Ha, let’s do it!”
The Hunter Family members discussed leaving quickly.
…
“This kid is really cooperative—he actually entered the house in Wanshou Villa. He’ll definitely be in poor condition when he comes out. Everyone, spread out and surround this place.”
“Heh, whether he can gain Xueyi the Leader’s favor and get promoted to the headquarters depends on this!”
The group quickly dispersed and surrounded the doors and windows.
Everyone remained tense, watching the building from ten meters away without moving.
…
They waited for half an hour!
“Damn it! It’s been almost an hour and a half since we got this coordinate. This kid hasn’t moved at all. Could it be a fake message…?”
“Nonsense! If the ‘Headhunters’ dare to deceive even our Blood Alliance, they’re not thinking straight! Relax— they wouldn’t ruin their rules and reputation over such a trivial matter.”
The twin brothers spoke up: “Maybe there’s something good inside! This kid is really lucky!”

“Hey, luck won’t help—once you come out, you’ll die!”
Soothed by the Saw Brothers, the group continued to wait patiently.
Another half an hour passed…
…an hour.
It was getting dark!
Still no sign of movement inside.
“Damn it!!”
“Send messengers! Have our own brothers consult Master Zhou Yi to find out what’s going on. I refuse to believe this nonsense. It’s not like hiding a lover in a golden house—there’s no need to stay in there for hours!!”
Whoosh…
Messengers flew back and forth.
A few minutes later, the group was utterly frustrated.
Their morale took a devastating hit.
According to the information from their own brothers, the hunter indeed hadn’t given false information—Happy was still at the original location, motionless.
“Damn, if I stay here any longer, I’m gonna get hemorrhoids…”
“Hold on. It’s been so long—this kid has to eat too. I can’t believe he can stay in there all day as a sick person.”
The Saw Brothers sharpened their knives by rubbing them on a nearby rock…
Boom!!!
“Stop!”
The trap master couldn’t warn them in time and watched in horror as a black glow suddenly appeared on the rock, piercing into one of the twin brothers’ thighs.
A scream.
The victim gasped in pain, staring at the black spot on his wound, sweating profusely: “Damn, it’s poisonous! Get the antidote! Get the Gold Absorbing Stone!”
The trap master frowned deeply:
“There are countless traps in the Myriad Beasts Villa. Don’t move around recklessly.”
“We’ve been waiting for two hours. I’ve totally forgotten… That bastard! When he comes out, I’m gonna make him understand what true pain is… Ah, it’s reached the thigh root! Antidote! Quick! Apply it to me!” The group watched the sweating Saw Brothers in dismay, while becoming more tense about their surroundings…
“It seems the traps have been refreshed.”
“Everyone, don’t move around unless necessary.”
“Don’t touch anything if you don’t want to die.”
The trap master kept issuing warnings.
…
Over several hours…
Happy had already practiced the “Meridians Strengthening Art” for over ten full cycles, with his speed gradually increasing.
During this time, he finally broke through the third level slowly, reaching level 23.78;
His foundation strength increased by an astonishing 17 points.
Now his foundation strength was 285 points.
His progress was terrifying.
In addition, his comprehension, arm strength, and movement skills also increased by 2 points per level.
His internal energy, which Happy cared about the most, finally reached 638 points… Just one step away from entering the Liberation Realm!

Yet to Kaixin’s disappointment, after reaching the third level of the Easy Muscle Meridian, the protective layer around the muscles and bones gradually became clearer, and the damage from silkworm silk became minimal—requiring ten minutes just to cause a slight fluctuation. Such a slow progress could no longer satisfy Kaixin. “I need to find a different place to practice.” Opening his eyes, Kaixin glanced around the room through the silkworm silk, and a strange, ethereal feeling arose—everything in the room seemed to become clearer.
