Chapter 879: Extermination!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

All the people from Holy Lands were yelling threats, that they absolutely had to make those scums from the Misty Illusory Manor pay the price. They'd rather die than swallow this insult! Compared to this conflict that came out of nowhere, news of the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master that Zhan Mu Bai had released was not attracting as much attention. Everyone's focus was on the conflict between the Misty Illusory Manor and the Holy Lands!

And there were some Saints who were of the more agitated type, wanting to look for those seven people from the Misty Illusory Manor for trouble immediately, feeling indignant at this injustice! So what if you're the Misty Illusory Manor? How can you bully others like this!!

Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu may not have been in a disadvantageous position during the battle earlier, but they were still feeling a little gloomy. After all, the weapons that had accompanied them for half of their lives were gone like this. And Zhan Mu Bai, on the other hand, was completely fueled with rage. These three Saint Emperors immediately gathered their men and prepared to set off!

Since the higher levels of the Holy Lands have already been informed of this matter, what happened in the future will be decided by them! But right now, the Misty Illusory Manor is blatantly stepping over us, even using tricks to take out weapons away. This is literally the same as taking a dump on our heads! Does this old man really care so much about his life?!

So the army set off for battle!

But two mysterious people suddenly appeared and forcefully stopped this operation, since it was a matter of life and death. Otherwise, Chrysanthemum City would really be defeated chrysanthemums on the ground… This bunch of people was completely capable of bursting all the chrysanthemums of Chrysanthemum City! And send this Chrysanthemum City flying into the sky in one piece…

And when those two mysterious people went to look for an explanation from the Misty Illusory Manor, they realized that the Misty Illusory Manor's Cao Guo Feng and gang had already vanished silently… They had retreated out of Chrysanthemum City immediately!

Even before getting the news that the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master was in Chrysanthemum City!

They even abandoned the main duty they had on this trip!

Following their departure, there was no way that this misunderstanding between the Holy Lands and the Misty Illusory Manor could be resolved anytime soon… And it was very likely to lead to some not-so-good unforeseen circumstances…

And the only person who knew of the truth of the matter, Qiao Ying, was battling Jun Mo Xie in the wilderness! By the time she returned, it would already be too late… And, if Jun Mo Xie did not return with her, even if she was willing to explain everything, not many people would believe it…

Chrysanthemum City temporarily became the three Holy Lands' territory!

This alliance of two great forces that had lasted for ten thousand years had thoroughly crumbled from the looks of it!

And one more thing that ticked off the three Holy Lands was the Chen Family's attitude… It was more and more obviously indifferent…

Chen Qing Tian's second son died tragically, and he was horribly berated by Zhan Mu Bai. Under Chen Chen's influence, he began to see that the three Holy Lands only treated his family clan as a supply station, or rather, a cash cow… and an extremely lowly one!

As someone who always found pride in serving the Holy Lands, this left Chen Qing Tian's heart cold and disappointed. And there was another incident that caused Chen Qing Tian to feel anguished: not a single person from the three Holy Lands turned up for his son's funeral!

Who could endure such a thing…?

How did my son die? Isn't it all because of you guys?! He died such a horrible death, left without a complete body! Now that he is dead, none of you even turned up to the funeral, and none of you offered your condolences!

Even if you sent a Spirit Xuan… It would have sufficed as giving face.

If this matter had happened in the past, Chen Qing Tian would be understanding about it. The people who came from the three Holy Lands this time, even the weakest ones were Saint-leveled experts! What sort of existence were they! What could my son be even counted as….? They wouldn't even be bothered!

If a Saint was needed for the funeral of the death of a mere youth, then it would really be an exaggeration! Even if the three Holy Lands had really sent someone, the Chen Family would even be fearful of receiving such grand treatment and find it hard to relax!

But the same thing, when placed in this current situation… The meaning was extremely different!

Not only did no one come to the funeral, not a single person offered this pitiful father a single condolence for having to send his son off!

Chen Qing Tian was thoroughly disheartened! Even feeling a little at a loss, as if there was nothing else to live for anymore. He felt like the sacrifices he had made all these years were simply a gigantic joke, a joke that was not funny at all!

When the head of the family was in this sort of mood, how good could the rest of the Chen Family's attitude get? Naturally, they'd move along with an indifferent attitude…

Hence, as the Chen Family was busy with the funeral, naturally, they had not properly hosted the experts from the three Holy Lands… And it had also made their mood worse, but they could do nothing about it. They could only wait for the assassins from the Dongfang Family to come quickly and resolve this matter so everyone could go back.

This world is becoming more foreign… it has really changed.

This night, Chen Qing Tian and his eldest son, Chen Chen, were meeting secretly in the study room…

A family head of his own generation, having to secretly arrange for a conversation with his own son… Chen Qing Tian was really a little pitiful as a family head…

"Chen'er, the Chen Family is done for already." Chen Qing Tian's first sentence had left Chen Chen astonished! He raised his head and saw his father's heavy look.

"So, you must leave this place! Chen'er, you are the only hope of the Chen Family… Hurry up and leave this whirlpool! As long as you are still around, the Chen Family will still have hope in making a comeback again!" Chen Qing Tian said dishearteningly, a heavy look in his eyes.

"Father, although the Chen Family is in a difficult position now, and there is a difference between us and the rest of the super families, but… we shouldn't have gotten to a stage of being annihilated?" Chen Chen failed to understand.

"It is already over! From the moment our ancestor Chen Chong died, the Chen Family announced it's death! For many years, we've been safe under the protection of our ancestor. But ultimately, we are still a lot weaker than the Zhan Family in the city next door. We are only subordinates of the Holy Lands. We may seem powerful, but we are worthless the moment the Holy Lands give up on us!

"And now that our ancestor has passed, the Chen Family has become a bait to lure the Dongfang Family. Chen'er, a bait… Haha, you should know what it means… Regardless of if the fish takes the bait or not, the bait is just for display. If the fish takes the bait, then the bait will be the first to be swallowed…

"I had always hoped that this was an opportunity the three Holy Lands had given us, even if it meant sacrificing me as the bait, but the Chen Family would be regarded by the Holy Lands… But only now did I realize I was wrong! The Holy Lands will never put a mere family like us in their eyes! Even if all of us sacrificed ourselves, even if a hundred of such families did, as long as it achieves their goal, that's all they care about. As to these families… they are destined to be sacrificed!"

Chen Qing Tian's face was grey as he said softly. Chen Qing Tian looked at his father, stunned, a surge of emotions rising in his heart!

"But if I leave… wouldn't that make the Holy Lands suspect you even more?" Chen Chen frowned and asked worriedly.

"Suspect me… So what?" Chen Qing Tian chuckled and said despondently. "From the beginning, I was a dead man! If you stay behind, I am still a dead man, and you will also be throwing your life! If you don't stay, I will still be dead. Is there any difference?"

Chen Qing Tian stood up and turned around. "Go, bring along the woman you love! Tell her, from now on, she is the daughter-in-law of Chen Qing Tian! The mistress of the Chen Family!"

With his back still turned, he took out a box and tossed it over. Chen Chen caught it. "This is the token of faith of the Chen Family! There is your mother's jade hairpin inside; it is a gift for the daughter-in-law… My disapproval of you two caused that child to suffer… Tell her not to hate me…"

He waved his hand. "Go and live in secrecy. From now on, if you could rebuild the Chen Family, unless there is a Saint Emperor level expert in the family, don't step foot into the pugilistic world forever!"

"Father! I…"

"If you don't go, then I'll kill you personally, then kill myself!" Chen Qing Tian looked up at the sky, his backview trembling, but his voice firm and resolute!

Tears poured from Chen Chen's eyes, knowing that his father had made up his mind and wouldn't change it. He choked on his tears, knelt to the floor and slowly kowtowed to his father, before leaving while remaining in a bowed position.

Chen Qing Tian stood silently. When Chen Chen was at the door, he slowly said, "Rather be a family of farmers, than be a subservient family!"

Chen Chen's body jerked as he nodded heavily. He forced himself to restrain the sounds of his crying that were about to come out, quickly leaving and disappearing in the night.

Chen Qing Tian stood as straight as a spear, a heartened smile slowly appearing on his face. As long as Chen Chen was able to walk out and leave this whirlpool, then no matter how he survived in the future, the Chen Family would ultimately have a descendant that remained!

He silently sat in the study room, still and motionless.

At dawn, the housekeeper knocked on the door gently and entered. "Master, the ancestral hall has been broken into. The ancestral tablets have all disappeared…"

Chen Qing Tian jolted, tears threatening to spill from his eyes. He waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, you can go."

The housekeeper looked at him and left, feeling full of confusion. Why is the Master so odd today? How big of a matter it is, for the ancestral tablets to be stolen, but he seemed completely unmoved by it. He shook his head, unable to figure it out, and left.

In the study room, Chen Qing Tian slowly exhaled and mumbled, "I can finally rest assured…"

The second morning, the people from the Holy Lands learned that the first Young Master of the Chen Family, Chen Chen, had suddenly gone missing…

After Zhan Mu Bai knew of this matter, he instantly sent people to call for Chen Qing Tian. And he personally met Chen Qing Tian, giving him a lot of face!

Zhan Mu Bai was a Saint Emperor, to lower himself to speak to him personally, Chen Qing Tian should feel excited and grateful to receive such treatment!

So Zhan Mu Bai got straight to the point and asked, "Where did that first son of yours go?"

"This bastard!" Chen Qing Tian sighed. "He had fallen in love with a maid in our family earlier and wanted to marry her as his wife. How could I agree? So he has been being difficult with me during this period of time. But I had never imagined that this bastard would elope with the maid at a time like this… It really is a disgrace to the family, I will absolutely catch him back and punish him!"

"Eloped?" Zhan Mu Bai scoffed. "Chen Qing Tian, do the ancestral tablets need to be brought along in an elopement from the Chen Family? You couldn't elope earlier, or later, but just had to do it at a time like this? Chen Qing Tian, do you think that this seat is very easily to fool?"

As Zhan Mu Bai's tone got harsher, an imposing aura suddenly came down. His voice had turned icy cold. "Chen Qing Tian, you better give me an honest explanation! Perhaps I can still let you keep your life! Otherwise, it is not difficult for me to turn the whole Chen Family into ashes! Speak! What schemes do you have? What are you trying to achieve? What sort of devious intentions do you have on the Holy Lands? I'm telling you that you are courting death!"

Saint Emperor Zhan's tone was full of killing intent, with no concealment at all! He had been meeting with unfortunate situations during this period of time, be it with the Misty Illusory Manor or the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, these were all slaps landing on his face, one after another. But he had nowhere to vent this anger! And this caused his emotions to be a little out of control.

And… when he was beaten up and trashed, this goddamn Chen Qing Tian was just there, watching a Saint Emperor get humiliated! This was the greatest reason why Zhan Mu Bai felt displeased everytime he saw Chen Qing Tian!

So every time he spoke with Chen Qing Tian, his tone was hoping that this bastard would just die soon!

It is the greatest sin to see me being embarrassed!

So Zhan Mu Bai had long developed a desire to kill, but Chen Qing Tian had always been respectful with the Holy Lands, and after all, he was his own disciple's descendant. If there was no suitable reason, Zhan Mu Bai would find it embarrassing to do it.

But the Chen Family's gradual indifference in their attitude to the Holy Lands had given Zhan Mu Bai the most suitable reason! Following Chen Chen's running away, Zhan Mu Bai used this opportunity. No matter what, I must kill all the people of Chen Family who witnessed that matter!

Chen Qing Tian couldn't help but feel shocked hearing these few threatening sentences. After which, a surge of anger rose!

Chen Chen's departure was entirely out of Chen Qing Tian's arrangements. This was a fact. But Chen Qing Tian had never thought of what he wanted to do to the three Holy Lands! First, he didn't dare. Second, he did not feel the need to go to that extent of enmity! Chen Chen leaving home was just a precautionary decision.

But he had never imagined that Zhan Mu Bai was going to pin such a heavy crime on his head without even asking!

"Ancestor, what do you mean by this? The Chen Family has always been loyal, and our ancestor is your disciple! How could we have any intentions of rebellion? This is a huge wrong accusation!" Chen Qing Tian argued loudly.

"Whether wronged or not, you know it yourself!" The killing intent on Zhan Mu Bai's sinister face got heavier and heavier…

The last thing Chen Qing Tian knew was that a palm suddenly became bigger and bigger in his face… then he didn't know anything afterwards…

———————————

When Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu heard the news, the entire Chen Family had been exterminated! Completely and thoroughly!

The other two Saint Emperors were a little embarrassed to remark on Zhan Mu Bai's ruthlessness. They only sighed. "Since they're killed… then they're killed already." There were no other reactions.

After all, it was just a mere worldly family. Even if they were annihilated, it was no big deal. A subservient family like this, the three Holy Lands had so many that they could barely count. They can easily nurture countless more in a couple of years! It really was no big deal…

The only one who felt enraged was the guardian, Qiao Ying!

Qiao Ying learnt of his matter the moment she returned! And she went looking for Zhan Mu Bai, full of anger.

"Why did you kill them?" Qiao Ying was so infuriated her face was pale.

"Senior Qiao, please appease your anger. This matter is due to my carelessness. Since we arrived in Chrysanthemum City, there has been a series of weird happenings, and the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master's sudden appearance put me on my guard."

"After my investigation, I found out that for unknown reasons, this Chen Manor was the hiding place of the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master! There is a basement in Chen Qing Tian's study room. It is full of the cold aura of the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, and there are marks made by Nine Nether Frost Blades!"

He paused for a while before continuing. "Then I found out that in the food today, the Chen Family added large amounts of 'Immortals Fall'! This is the number one poison to cause one to lose all their skills! It is ultimately vicious! Even a Saint Emperor will be unable to use any Xuan Qi after consuming it! They clearly were thinking of getting rid of us all at one go! Such a vicious way of doing things is truly unacceptable! If they are not killed, how could everyone be appeased?!"

Zhan Mu Bai's expression changed from anger to an apologetic one. "Just that in a moment of fury, I had taken actions, completely forgetting about seeking Senior Qiao's opinion. I seek your forgiveness. Sigh… They were the descendants of my disciple, after all… Now that something like that happened, I am at fault for not being stricter…"

The Chen Family was already all dead, so how could it be proved that Zhan Mu Bai was babbling nonsense? What he said was the truth now, because no one could refute him…

Qiao Ying did not understand the truth. Although she thought Zhan Mu Bai made sense, but she still felt that it was too much. "If that's the case, you can stop at killing Chen Qing Tian! Why did you kill so many innocent people as well?! Is it the way the Holy Lands work, harming the innocent, blatantly massacring?!"

Zhan Mu Bai admitted to his mistake and looked guilty…

"Zhan Mu Bai, you better not be lying to me about this matter today! Otherwise, even if you are a Saint Emperor, I will uphold justice for Chen Family! Now that things are like this, make proper arrangements for their funerals." Qiao Ying turned around and left angrily.

Zhan Mu Bai looked at her back view, a glint of fury flashing across his eye, which was quickly concealed.

Qiao Ying's position was not one he could touch! The Holy Lands would have no hesitation in sacrificing ten Zhan Mu Bais in exchange for Qiao Ying! So Zhan Mu Bai could not do anything about Qiao Ying. And furthermore, her strength surpassed his greatly…

.....

When the Chen Family had undergone extermination, Jun Mo Xie was dripping in cold sweat in the Hongjun Pagoda.

After the battle with Qiao Ying, he ducked into the Hongjun Pagoda. Seeing that he came in in such a pathetic looking form, Mei Xue Yan couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

"I met a crazy woman today!" Young Master Jun panted. "A young lady, probably twenty years of age. She actually claimed that she had lived for a thousand years… Hahaha… Did she think that she was also an old demoness?"

Young Master Jun did not realize that Mei Xue Yan's face instantly darkened as she said coldly. "A young lady who was twenty years old? Old demoness?"

"Yeah… But it might be true, this girl's Xuan skills was really terrifying…" Young Master Jun did not know that his death was near, still recalling the battle earlier. If not for the fact that he had one last move, he probably would have died this time. Even the Yin Yang Escape couldn't help him escape!

"Are you mocking me?" Jun Mo Xie only felt a pain in his ear, which was grabbed by Mei Xue Yan and twisted ruthlessly.

A dangerous glint was in Mei Xue Yan's eyes as she said emotionlessly. "Also an old demoness? You've met many old demonesses who looked youthful, haven't you? Young Master Jun, the 'also' you mentioned… what do you mean?"

Jun Mo Xie jolted, belatedly realizing that he had offended one of Mei Xue Yan's taboos. He quickly laughed cordially and said, "No, no, what I meant to say is that… She was lying. How can there be such a youthful old demoness in the world? Um… Actually I'm saying that… I… Um… I…" No matter how much Jun Mo Xie tried to explain himself, Mei Xue Yan got angrier and angrier…

"I really wasn't talking about you…" Jun Mo Xie said, feeling the urge to cry. "There's none of that meaning…"

"So you finally admitted that deep down inside your heart, I am also an old demoness!" Mei Xue Yan yelled, twisting with even greater strength. Young Master Jun only felt as if his ear was about to fall off. He shouted, "I do not… No no no… How could my Xue Yan be compared to someone else? Xue Yan is so beautiful and youthful and pretty… like the bright, flawless moon in the highest of heavens, like the spring winds that turned into rain, like…"

Praise and compliments poured out of Jun Mo Xie's mouth ceaselessly…

But the more he said, the more painful it was for his ears. Mei Xue Yan was clearly angry this time, and he was so anxious that his forehead was sweating profusely… No matter how powerful the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune was, it was not to the extent where it allowed the ears to grow even longer…

Or maybe there would be such skills when he attained higher levels in his cultivation of the art, but he was still far from it right now…

After exhausting all his saliva to explain himself, Mei Xue Yan finally let go of his abused ear. She was not completely appeased yet, sitting down aside crossly.

Jun Mo Xie rubbed his nose and sat down beside her in a thick-skinned manner. Taking two sniffs of the air, he said, "Xue Yan's body is really fragrant. Just smelling this scent can ease my troubled heart hehehe…" He said with a salivating expression.

"Cut the bulls*it. Hurry up and talk about what you encountered!" Mei Xue Yan said stiffly.

"Yes! This husband shall follow your orders!" Jun Mo Xie replied quickly.

"Irritating! Whose husband are you!" Mei Xue Yan protested coquettishly, her face turning red.

Jun Mo Xie finally heaved a sigh of relief internally. The storm is finally going to be over, oh my god…

Young Master Jun felt like what he said earlier was not insinuating anything, but how did it suddenly turn into offending her? Looks like this woman really has no reason for throwing a temper…

After calming down, he began to tell of his encounter, not missing a single bit of it. When he was talking about Qiao Ying, Jun Mo Xie had even chuckled, feeling that that girl was really too naive…

"You said that the girl is called Qiao Ying?" Mei Xue Yan suddenly stopped him and widened her eyes.

Chapter 880: Young Master Jun's Family Law

"Yeah, that girl who claimed to be a thousand year old demoness, Qiao Ying, apparently also said she had some other nickname called the All Seeing Rakshesha. What's wrong? Don't tell me what she said was true." Jun Mo Xie said, confused.

"Looks like you really went overboard this time! Even she was deployed this time!" Mei Xue Yan inhaled deeply, a serious look—which had never appeared before—was on her face. "From what you are telling me, I can tell that this girl is really the legendary All Seeing Rakshesha, Qiao Ying! Impressive… Xuan Qi that surpasses Saint Emperors by leaps, the Inescapable Net…"

"Could she really be someone from a thousand years ago? Is an old… um, old senior?" Jun Mo Xie widened his eyes, suddenly feeling a cramp in his stomach. That gorgeous beauty that he had teased in such unbridled manner… was really a… who lived for a thousand over years…

Oh my God!

What sort of world is this? It's too insane?!

"All Seeing Rakshesha, Qiao Ying… I really didn't imagine that even she would make an appearance in the flesh in this world…"

Mei Xue Yan stood up and took a few steps. "Mo Xie, you and I know that the people from the three Holy Lands are sordid and contemptible inside despite claiming to be dignified, and the way they do things are even more despicable. But there is an exception to everything, and this senior Qiao Ying is of a completely different kind compared to the rest of the three Holy Lands. All your obscene language can be used on those scums, but you must not be rude to Senior Qiao anymore. Be it inside your heart or verbally. Senior Qiao Ying may be a female, but her heart is extremely kind, and she is upright and honest in her actions and will never be willing to make things difficult for others.

"Especially repeatedly making great contributions during the War for Seizing the Heavens, killing experts from the strange races, she can be said to be a legend! And on the three Holy Lands' side, because she is really too pure and untainted by the filth of worldly affairs, they were fearful that she would be taken advantage of when wandering in the pugilistic world so they never allowed her to make an appearance. This time, I wonder why would they allow her to come forth personally?"

She frowned, deep in thoughts. "With how important the three Holy Lands view Qiao Ying, there will definitely be other peak experts protecting her and her sudden appearance in this place! Otherwise, the Heaven Saint Palace would definitely not let her come out to explore!"

Mei Xue Yan turned around and looked at Jun Mo Xie. A determined look was on her face. "Mo Xie, I believe that the situation is extremely bad for you this time! Qiao Ying may be powerful, and that All-seeing Eye is also the greatest counter to your amazing escape technique, but she is not scary in terms of her personality. She will not even have the thought of killing you… But that expert protecting her will definitely not be an easy person to deal with. Their strength will definitely be above that of a Saint Emperor's. This time, I must go out and fight alongside with you!"

"No! There is no room for negotiation on this!" Jun Mo Xie rejected. "With that negligible cultivation of yours, you are not even enough to stuff the gap between their teeth. What can you do out there? Fight alongside with me? I'm afraid that you may not be of help, but I'm sure that you'll slow me down!"

Young Master Jun was extremely afraid of the idea of Mei Xue Yan partaking in battles. He made up his mind that he'd rather temporarily hurt her than allow her to take the risk. Even spewing all sorts of hurtful remarks!

"But it is very different now." How could Mei Xue Yan not understand what Young Master Jun was thinking. Hearing such ill remarks, she did not feel angry; instead, she laughed in a pleased manner. "Since I began practicing the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune, the… blood passed down within my species has unexpectedly been awakened. Now, I have mastered three types of secret skills known by my species. And I believe I am reaching the bottleneck of breaking through for the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune. And that Yin Yang Escape art that you taught me; I am able to use it now, even though I may not be able to use it to defeat the enemy, but there are no issues in protecting myself. There is absolutely no problem in going out this time…"

She blinked playfully and her eyes turned into crescents as she grinned. "You worry that I'll slow you down? I should be worrying whether you would weigh me down!"

"Um…" Jun Mo Xie was surprised, only responding after a while. "Me, weighing you down? This little girl is really boasting shamelessly! Come, let this young master try weighing you down!"

Mei Xue Yan scoffed and said, "Looks like you really haven't been taught a lesson for too long. This lady realizes that you're getting more and more arrogant! World Cage!"

Jun Mo Xie laughed loudly. "You current strength is far from mine. World Cage already.. Hm?!" He was only halfway through his sentence when he suddenly realized his entire body was really paralyzed. He couldn't even speak. So he just stood there flabbergasted, his mouth left hanging open. It was really the taste of imprisonment that he hadn't had in a while.

Mei Xue Yan sent a flying kick into Jun Mo Xie's plump buttocks. His face was still full of astonishment. Young Master Jun was instantly sent flying in the air and was left turning midair. Mei Xue Yan snorted coldly and said, "This is one of the special skills of the snow-ferret clan!"

Then she kicked again, kicking Young Master Jun who had not landed upwards once again, before continuing to speak. "We are able to activate three times the strength of any position. Aside from this, we can easily control the power of heaven and earth, and allow it to be transformed into any form! The World Cage may not be able to deal with you under normal circumstances, but this upgraded World Cage of mine can be adjusted anytime, and depending on the opponent, it can be a perfect counter. I believe it is even better to use than Qiao Ying's Inescapable Net…"

"Do you understand now? Young Master Jun, who is afraid that I will slow you down!" She gave five, six kicks before she finished saying her words. Then, she sent one last kick at Jun Mo Xie's belly. Young Master Jun was sent flying backwards.

Puu!

He landed on the ground, triggering off a weird wave in the whirlpool of Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi. But that peculiar strength that had imprisoned him was also gone without a trace. Young Master Jun quickly rubbed his aching body as he stood back up with a pained expression. "This is a sneak attack! Blatantly using sneaky ways, I was not even in the correct posture yet…"

Mei Xue Yan snorted and said, "Who asked you to look down on me and say that I will slow you down…" She had yet to finish her sentence, but only saw that whole mirage of Young Master Jun rubbing his bum suddenly vanish. She immediately noticed that something was wrong and was just about to start running away when a pair of powerful and strong hands already snaked around her tightly!

Then, a couple of places on her body went numb and she could not move anymore. Then, Jun Mo Xie appeared before her with a grin, lifting her chin with his finger. "Babe, weren't you pretty capable just now? Come, smile one for this Young Master!" He said in a frivolous tone.

Mei Xue Yan was embarrassed and angry. "Let me go quickly! You lecher!"

Jun Mo Xie scoffed and said, "Calling me a lecher? You actually dared to ambush me! You really deserve to be hit! In terms of teaching skills, I am still half a master of yours. Sneak attacking your master is a crime of being unfilial! You should be hit on your bum three times! In terms of principles, a woman should have the three rules and five virtues 1 . A husband guides his wife, but you dare to beat your own husband and attack your honored husband's honored bottom! A crime on top of your crimes! You should be hit on your butt seven times!"

Then, he exerted his strength and flipped Mei Xue Yan's body around, causing her to lay across his knees. He laughed loudly and lifted his right hand which landed on that supple bottom with a pa . He only felt like everywhere his hands landed was extremely soft and smooth, and a feeling of thirst appeared in his heart… He almost got a nosebleed…

Mei Xue Yan let out a soft cry, her face instantly turning red. She gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't let me go… I'll…"

"So what will you do? As the saying goes, regulate the family, rule the state, then pacify the country! If I am not strict on the family laws, how can I pacify the world in the future? This beating must be given!" Young Master Jun scoffed, saying in a firm and righteous manner.

This jerk had just hit once and was already addicted. Putting on a stern image like Justice Bao 2 , but deep inside, he just wanted to take advantage of Mei Xue Yan. Although his expression was decent, that lustful look in his eyes that was like a hungry wolf that betrayed him.

Mei Xue Yan bit her bottom lip, secretly reprimanding herself. She knew that this guy would not be honest, but why was she still so careless? She grit her teeth and chose to not speak, laying across his legs. But she realized that the palm did not descend, but instead, a pair of weird hands had began gently fondling with her sensitive spot…

"You- You… What are you doing?!" The great beauty Mei was really panicking now.

"I am carrying out the family law!" Jun Mo Xie scoffed. But this guy was getting a little excited. The feeling on the hand is really too good… Holy sh*t, and this is how it feels through the clothes. If they're removed, and that last little bit of barrier is thrown away, how amazing would that feel? I'm really looking forward now…

Just as he thought, his mind began to wander. God knew what sort of image he was imagining in his head, but his pair of hands were getting more and more dishonest, gradually filling with the tendency to want to make his fantasies into a reality…

"Let me go… Green Hunter is still here…" Mei Xue Yan cried bashfully.

Jun Mo Xie finally snapped back to his senses, still dwelling in his fantasies, he had forgotten to continue carrying out the 'family law', giggling in a daze as he released Mei Xue Yan's acupuncture points…

Mei Xue Yan leap up, her face completely red. Even her fair, pinkish neck was red. She tried to tidy herself and rolled her eyes at Young Master Jun. She turned away, biting her lips and refusing to speak.

Jun Mo Xie was reminded by her sentence, looking over to Snake King Green Hunter, who was in under the tree. "Speaking of Green Hunter, it also reminded me of something that may allow Green Hunter to regain consciousness soon… I'm not sure if the two magical items you mentioned before, the Seven Color Holy Fruit and Nine segment Exquisite Lotus, will have any effect on her?"

Mei Xue Yan thought carefully. Her face was still flushed, but she was already focused on this question. After all, with many years of sisterhood, her friendship with Snake King was not ordinary. "Perhaps it may have some use… But it is not known yet, and those two items are both magical items of the mortal world. Even if they will not have any direct effect, but at the very least, it will not have any adverse effects. But Mo Xie, will there be any effects to Green Hunter's injuries… in staying like that in her human form? Most Xuan Beasts will return to their original form when they suffer severe injuries. Retaking their original form is one of the ways Xuan Beasts protect themselves. Some injuries may definitely spell death in the human form, but when returned to the original form, it may turn out to not be fatal. And this is also the greatest difference between humans and Xuan Beasts…"

Chapter 881: Golden Jade Fluid!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"I do understand what situation you are speaking of, but that peculiar situation has a prerequisite, which is that the injured must be in a conscious state of mind… but Green Hunter's mind is at its limit, swaying and on the verge of disseminating. The amount of energy used by her is lesser in the human form. But if she returns to her original form, I'm afraid that the nutrients the body has to offer is not enough for her body to use… and if it goes on to use up the last bit of life force…" Jun Mo Xie said softly.

"Hm, in other words, could it be that even you… can't do anything about it?" Mei Xue Yan asked worriedly.

"My cultivation is still too shallow and I really do not have any good solution, but… there definitely will be one!"

Jun Mo Xie said solemnly. "What I can do currently is to use Primal Chaos Purple Qi to help her sustain her life and ensure her life force doesn't diminish. As long as her life force doesn't go out, there will be a chance to turn it around sooner or later. I believe that there will definitely be a way… when I'm at the sixth or seventh level of the Hongjun Pagoda! You also have been practicing in Hongjun Pagoda for so long; don't you have enough confidence in this treasure?"

Jun Mo Xie had complete faith in the Hongjun Pagoda. The pills refined in the ninth level of the Hongjun Pagoda could even turn a mortal into an immortal instantly! Works of immortals reviving the dead was a simple feat. Although Green Hunter's injures were not light, but it may not even be an issue in the eyes of immortals?

"En, I believe in you, but your circumstances are so dangerous now. How are you planning to face it?"

Jun Mo Xie floated over to Green Hunter, pressing his palm against her back and transfusing Primal Chaos Purple Qi into her again to prolong her life, frowning as he pondered. After a long while, he finally said, "As to this bunch of experts from the Holy Lands… I only have one word: Kill!"

"Kill? But you are only a third level Venerable. There are thirty, forty enemies, and those who are the weakest amongst them are second, third level Venerables! And there are also many Saints, and there are three Saint Emperors providing support. If my guess is not wrong, Heaven Saint Palace would have deployed three guardians and above to accompany Qiao Ying! How are you going to kill? With that strength, even if they stand there completely still for you to kill, you may not be able to kill them at all! This is a fact, an undeniable fact!"

"Our strength is more than enough for dealing with normal circumstances, but compared to our current enemies, we are really too weak! Although you have successfully stirred up a storm, you don't have the capabilities to deal with its consequences. From the way I see it… I think we must take some measures to lie low for now." Mei Xue Yan said worriedly.

"Lie low?" Jun Mo Xie laughed bitterly, rubbing his nose. "Big sis, you already said it yourself, I was the one who stirred up this storm. Today, the storm clouds has all gathered, but I, the instigator, wants to lay low? Isn't that a little disheartening?"

"I still have the same question. Do you have enough strength to handle the consequences? Since your strength is insufficient, what else do you want to do? What else can you do?" Mei Xue Yan rolled her eyes at him.

"Indeed, I can't win them head on.But we can assassinate!" Jun Mo Xie gave a quirky grin. "If we are talking about assassinating, I have complete confidence in crushing those who are lower than Saint Emperor! As to experts who are Saint Emperors and above… We may not be able to assassinate them, but it doesn't mean that there is no one who can subdue them!"

"There may still be some significance in what you said if we were in the past, but right now… In this world, the three Holy Lands have been eradicating those who are at odds with them for ten thousands of years, all those forces who originally were worthy enough of being on par with them were all annihilated completely long ago. They don't even have enemies now, what other power or force is there in the world that can subdue them?"

This sentence that was said unintentionally also gave Mei Xue Yan a shock herself. Because this sentence was said with great seriousness, but it had also encompassed a terrifying fact: the three Holy Lands do not have any enemies!

All their enemies had been completely exterminated, annihilated, and destroyed over the passage of time, leaving not a single descendant…

Ten thousand years! For the entire duration of ten thousand years, constantly all those who defied or were at odds with them… Mei Xue Yan suddenly felt so shocked by her own sentence that she was covered with goosebumps, all her hair was standing! When put this way, wasn't Tian Fa Forest the last force that could go against them?

Which was also their last target for annihilation?

"There is no absolute in the world, only what cannot be imagined. There is nothing that is impossible, as long as we put our hearts to search… there will be existences that are powerful enough. For example… the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master?" Jun Mo Xie said.

"I knew it, since you were planning all this in the dark, you must have something you could rely on. But Mo Xie, I must warn you: even if the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master also fights the three Holy Lands, that is only out of his own intentions. Because we do not have the rights to go against the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master! We even lack the authority to speak to him as equals!"

A heavy look came over Mei Xue Yan's face. "Don't tell me that you only intend to just push the wave and add to the billows, watching from the sidelines in this storm? If that is truly the case, I will support you, but with your personality, will you be willing to?"

Jun Mo Xie was stunned. Mei Xue Yan's sentence had struck his sore spot.

All along, he was already used to fighting enemies weaker than him. But with his improvement in his cultivation, his opponents had become stronger and stronger! This caused him to completely lose the rights to face them on directly, having no other choice but to use whatever sort of possible means to deal with them.

Be it putting on airs, using bluffs and tricks, pretending to be powerful or framing others and shifting the blame…

All these methods were effective and had great results, but since he started out, how many times did he face a battle head on?

If you wished to survive in this disordered world where strength determines everything, and wish to be feared by others, all these must be built on a basic foundation: Strength! Bloody battle! Establish your might!

Shocking the world with one battle!

The best solution in eradicating all future worries was only by establishing your absolute power. Otherwise, how could the opponent be convinced being defeated in such an obscure manner? Naturally, they'd keep coming to look for trouble repeatedly!

This time, we can make sure the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master is there by chance, but what about next time? The next next time? Is it going to continue like this?

"You are right! We mustn't watch from the sides in this situation this time!" Jun Mo Xie said slowly, enunciating each and every word.

"Since you have decided to battle, then a battle it shall be! I believe that as long as we gather all the strength of Tian Fa, no matter what, there will be a chance to fight!" Mei Xue Yan said.

"No!" Jun Mo Xie shook his head slowly.

"No? Do you still have any other ideas?" Mei Xue Yan was stunned. "The only possible solution we have right now is to gather all the seniors of Tian Fa and face them straight on! No matter what the outcome is, we must make the three Holy Lands pay the terrible price! Only when we beat them until it hurts! Then, they'll realize that there is no good end for those who mess with us. Otherwise, we might not even get past this stage of Chrysanthemum City alone!"

Mei Xue Yan paused. "Even the two of us, although we are not weak, we are still no match for Saint Emperors. Unless… we are able to improve our strength exponentially overnight! But that sort of thing has never been heard of in all of history."

"Who said there isn't? Unheard of since ancient times until now doesn't mean that I don't have it! I just said, there are only things that cannot be imagined in the world, but there is absolutely nothing that is impossible!" Jun Mo Xie said indifferently.

His eyes slowly landed on that giant Heaven Earth Spirit Vein, and a glint of madness appeared in his eyes.

"You have?!" Mei Xue Yan had not imagined that she would get an unexpected, absurd answer!

"We really do have a way to greatly improve our strength. But there are always risks for gains, and there is a great risk in this method! And it is a little wasteful." Jun Mo Xie slowly said, as he caressed the Heaven Earth Spirit Vein beneath him. "Inside this thing, it is actually hollow. The reason a Heaven Earth Spirit Vein is formed is because in a unique enclosed space full of Spiritual Qi, Hollow Blue Rock Milk was formed first."

He smiled and continued to speak. "The Hollow Blue Rock Milk is an extremely magical medicine. If anyone is lucky enough to find it and consume it, it is capable of reviving the person from the dead and vastly increase their strength. If no one discovers it over a long time, this Hollow Blue Rock Milk will accumulate and over time, its outer layers will begin to solidify. It is the initial layers of Hollow Blue Rock Milk that were pushed out first! And after ten thousand years of accumulation of these precipitate, it will form the Heaven Earth Holy Milk!"

"Heaven Earth Holy Milk?" Mei Xue Yan was stunned. She had heard of Hollow Blue Rock Milk, but never of Heaven Earth Holy Milk. Because Hollow Blue Rock Milk alone was already a magical treasure that was almost impossible to find in the world. One drop, just a single drop of it was enough to revive the dead! A drop was enough to break through any bottlenecks of Xuan cultivators and improve their strength by hundreds of years!

But she had never thought that above the Hollow Blue Rock Milk, there was still a Heaven Earth Holy Milk!

Shocking! Truly shocking!

But the shock had yet to end!

Jun Mo Xie continued to go on. "After a long period of time, the formation of Heaven Earth Holy Milk was like the same as a large scale formation for gathering Spiritual Qi. It no longer absorbed Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi from being in contact with the ground, but instead, automatically gathered and attracted all the Spiritual Qi over. As the Spiritual Qi gathered more and more, the amount of Heaven Earth Holy Milk formed would also increase. And the outer layers would harden at its peak. So it would only grow in volume, but not harden any further. And this increase in volume starts from the inside. In other words, it will purge out those inadequate impurities, and those impurities will form into this thing before our eyes!"

Jun Mo Xie slapped on this giant Heaven Earth Spirit Vein, as he exclaimed.

"And when this outer layer gets to about three zhang in length, the Heaven Earth Spirit Vein in its beginning stage is already formed! And the magical thing about this item is that no matter where it is placed, it will become the ideal place for cultivation for any cultivator! A Heaven Earth Spirit Vein that is three zhang is enough to turn an entire mountain into the best place for practicing!

"And following the growth of the Heaven Earth Spirit Vein, the quality of the Heaven Earth Holy Milk inside will also increase. The longer it lasts, the higher its quality. If it reaches a certain age, it'll transform into an even rarer 'Golden Jade Fluid'. According to legends, the Heaven Earth Spirit Veins that are able to produce 'Golden Jade Fluid' are at least ten zhangs in length!"

A bitter smile flashed across Jun Mo Xie's face, using his palm to hit the Spirit Vein underneath him. He said to Mei Xue Yan, "And this Heaven Earth Spirit Vein underneath us is almost fifty zhang long! Do you know what it means?…"

"What?" Mei Xue Yan's sudden shock had interrupted Jun Mo Xie. She jumped and flailed her arms about, very unmatching to her fairy-like appearance, screaming at Jun Mo Xie. "This giant rock that I have always been sleeping on is the Heaven Earth Spirit Vein? And there is the magical 'Golden Jade Fluid' inside it… A Heaven Earth Spirit Vein?"

Mei Xue Yan widened her eyes and held her breath as she looked at Jun Mo Xie, waiting for his reply.

"Yes! This thing before our eyes is a piece of perfectly complete Heaven Earth Spirit Vein! And it is the type that has passed the age required for producing 'Golden Jade Fluid'. The thing inside this, I believe just a drop alone… can make a normal person who has never cultivated Xuan Qi to shoot all the way up to a Spirit Xuan… and this is already a safe estimate!"

Jun Mo Xie replied Mei Xue Yan his voice full of confidence. He rolled his eyes. "Why did you think your cultivation could improve so quickly? From a little ferret to a first level Venerable within two short months? I believe that there is no such crazy skill out there that can be this insane. The Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune is, of course, one of the reason. All the Spiritual Qi in this place is also another. But the greatest reason is because I placed you on this thing right from the beginning. Allowing it to constantly cleanse your meridians, so every time you sleep, your physique will also improve due to it! Especially when you are practicing on this, it saves you so much work, but the promises that result are in multiple folds!"

Mei Xue Yan's body swayed, she moaned and supported her head with one hand…

"Or else why did you think I didn't give you any beddings? Am I such an inconsiderate person?" Jun Mo Xie continued to grumble, rolling his eyes. "Now you have achieved great results in your practice, the first thing you did is to bully me, kicking me there, and so many times…"

Young Master Jun felt like his luck was really poor. When he was practicing he didn't have something like this, causing him be lower than this girl…

But he had just finished talking when he realized Mei Xue Yan had moaned slightly and with a roll of her eyes, her body fell weakly and she passed out…

This surprise was too big, so big that even Mei Xue Yan couldn't endure it!

"You're kidding me… Why are her psychological support capabilities so weak?" Jun Mo Xie said in astonishment.

Young Master Jun had clearly belittled the shocking news he had just delivered. In fact, only someone like him who owned numerous treasures wouldn't find this a big deal. Anyone would faint learning of something like this. Even if it was an immortal who had come down to the mortal realm, heard of, and witnessed this thing, he would definitely faint…

Because this was really not something ordinary people would see!

A magical treasure that was rarely seen and heard about in Heaven and Earth!

Chapter 882: Resolution

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mei Xue Yan finally slowly woke up after some time. The first thing she did was to lock her eyes on the Heaven Earth Spirit Vein before carefully stroking the huge "rock" with her jade-like hand as if it would shatter with even a bit more force…

"Don't worry. Even if you give it your full blow, there won't even be a single crack." Jun Mo Xie reminded her as he saw her hilarious action.

"Shush!" Mei Xue Yang glared at him before indulging back into her own immense joy. Her beautiful eyes curled like a crescent as she asked dreamingly, "Mo Xie, how long does it take for a Heaven Earth Spirit Vein of this size to form?"

"How long? Lemme see… the formation of a Hollow Blue Rock Milk takes tens of thousands of years. For all of it to transform into Heaven Earth Holy Milk, it would be another hundreds of thousands of years. As for the formation of Spirit Veins and the production of the Golden Jade Fluid… it will take at least another million years. For this Spirit Vein… it should be around six million years old."

"Six million years?" She was astonished.

Six million years! Unbelievably long!

"It might even be longer. I simply estimated and there can be an error of hundreds of thousands of years," Jun Mo Xie explained.

"Does this mean that… even the dust scraped off the stone can act as holy medicine?" Mei Xue Yan asked hurriedly.

Jun Mo Xie nodded."Yes. It's a medicine with a side effect that a normal human cannot withstand. Even the dust will be an equivalent to top quality Hollow Blue Rock Milk."

"My goodness… Wahaha…" At this moment, Mei Xue Yan's usual demureness was nowhere to be found. She leaped and cheered before suddenly grabbing Jun Mo Xie by his collar. All Jun Mo Xie could feel afterwards was a session of fanatic shaking which ended with a solid punch onto his abdomen that sent him flying backwards while he was still baffled. However, this wasn't the end as Mei Xue Yan continued to treat him with fists and kicks.

Jun Mo Xie really had some difficulties shielding himself from all the fists… when he guarded his head, he would be kicked on his buttock…

He couldn't help regretting slightly. What on Earth is this? How could I have known that such a demure girl would become so violent when she was excited? If it isn't for the fact that I'm stronger than her, I'm sure I can't handle a girl like this…

It's reasonable to vent out anger by hitting something. But beating others due to sheer happiness is simply strange!

Jun Mo Xie had no choice but to shield his handsome face and his groin area and sacrifice everywhere else. Needless to say, one for facing others and the other for facing his wives…

Finally, her elated emotions wore off as she gradually stopped hitting. She was a bit embarrassed as she saw Jun Mo Xie's awkward posture. "Erm… Mo Xie… are you alright?"

Jun Mo Xie held back the desire to cry out loud from the aches all over him as he removed his hand, revealing a pig-like, swollen face which twitched as he said with a sobbing tone, "What do you think?"

"Well, since you can still speak properly, I think you are." There was still a trace of excitement in her voice. "Hurry up and tell me more about this Golden Jade Fluid… I'm sure it has an amazing effect…"

"No! What if you hit me again…"

"I promise not to!"

"I don't believe you…"

"What do you want me to do so that you will believe me?"

"You can sleep with me tonight?"

"You… you pervert!"

It was then another session of beating. Afterwards, pig head Jun was finally a gentleman.

It took awhile for them to calm down from these sessions of high intensity exercise.

Mei Xue Yan asked him softly, "Mo Xie, are you going to open it so that we can drink the Golden Jade Fluid to increase our power to cope with the bad situation we're facing now?"

"Yes, that's was on my mind. But I have some concerns." Jun Mo Xie rubbed his face and the swollen parts magically healed beneath his palm.

"What's your concern? Wastage?" Mei Xue Yan knew that wasting such precious medicine would be very sinful.

"No, it's not about that. This is meant to be consumed, so what if there is a bit of waste? I'm just uncertain about the side effects. I don't know if we can withstand it.

"Furthermore, it's the only thing that can be consumed without refining and still produce the full effect. But this also means that there's no way to neutralize it so that its less invasive. If we can't withstand its effects, our souls will be shattered! There would be no remedy!"

"If we can withstand it, will it greatly increase our power?" Mei Xue Yan asked curiously.

"As long as we can absorb all the medicine properly, we will go all the way to the top! We will be able to reach the level of a Saint Emperor or even higher!

"The stronger the consumer, the better the effects of the medicine! We practice the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune, which is one of the best techniques out there, so I dare to think about this method. If its others who only practics Xuan Qi, I speculate that even a Saint Emperors can't withstand its effects!"

"That's very invasive!" Mei Xue Yan's eyes widened in amazement.

Seeing that she was getting excited again, Jun Mo Xie couldn't help shiver. He inconspicuously moved away from her a bit before continuing, "The biggest problem now is that we only need one droplet each for us, but there are so much of it here, so how are we going to keep the rest? If we just leave it here, it will soon evaporate and disappear. That will be a huge waste!"

"Can we contain it with jade bottles?" Mei Xue Yan suggested.

"No. Even if the bottle is made of Spirit Jade, all the fluid will evaporate in around an hour…"

"In that case… maybe we should just leave it here and come back when we have a way to preserve it." Although Mei Xue Yan was desperate to increase her power, she still could not reckon the idea of wasting all this medicine just for two drops of it.

"Actually, there might be a way. It's just that I'm not a hundred percent sure." Jun Mo Xie was considering using the Flame of Primal Chaos to seal the opening immediately after cutting open the Spirit Vein.

However, what he was not certain about was that the power of the Flame of Primal Chaos seemed to be too aggressive. What if he destroyed all the fluid instantaneously instead? Also, the fact that the Flame of Primal Chaos would be able to seal the opening was just a speculation in the first place.

However, the situation they were facing now did not allow them to turn back!

So finally, Jun Mo Xie decided to give it a try. If they left this place without increasing their power, it would even be a bigger waste!

Jun Mo Xie laid out his palm and a dazzling longsword popped out from thin air onto his hand.

The Blood of Yellow Flame!

It was now a very special sword that couldn't even be obtained in the heavens.

Jun Mo Xie built the foundation of the sword with gold transmuted from ordinary metal. He then used the Essence of Metal to refine it. Next, the sword devoured thousands of kilograms of gold. Finally, it absorbed hundreds of Nine Nether Frost Blades!

It could be said that the best materials from Earth, Xuan Xuan and Nine Nether, were used to produce this sword!

Despite its small appearance, it weighed up to 250 kilograms. No ordinary man could lift it up! It gained spiritual senses and absorbed the blood of Jun Mo Xie, therefore, it only weighed like an ordinary sword to him. If someone else tried to lift it, even if he were as strong as Big Bear, he would not succeed…

"Xue Yan, give me some space!" With sword in hand, Jun Mo Xie made the decision. There would be no turning back!

Chapter 883: Experiment…

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

So what if we are destroying something precious, so what if it might all go to waste? If we can't even get past this danger we are about to face, then how can we talk about the future!

Mei Xue Yan moved aside as instructed. She had just moved away when she saw a stroke of chilling lightning come down. The moment the body of the Blood of Yellow Flame came in contact with the other layer of the Heaven Earth Spirit Vein, it was like a hot knife slicing through a piece of frozen butter!

Whoosh, the outermost chunk of the Spirit Vein, about the length of a palm, silently broke off and fell with a puu . This was the outermost portion, so even if it was cut in such a clumsy and rough manner, it would not affect or harm the Golden Jade Fluid on the inside.

So Jun Mo Xie had no reservations!

Jun Mo Xie activated the Power of Water, condensing the Spiritual Qi in the air of the Hongjun Pagoda right above his head instantly, converging into an azure stream of water that descended downwards.

At the same time, Jun Mo Xie skillfully made a small hole on the side that had been cut with the Blood of Yellow Flame. All the condensed Spiritual Qi filled perfectly right up to its brim.

Although the portion of the length that was cut was about the length of a palm, its horizontal breadth was almost three zhang long. And that small hole was a few meters deep, which was enough for Jun Mo Xie to experiment.

Mei Xue Yan watched him with her eyes wide open, but she saw Jun Mo Xie lifting his hand with burning resolution and ordering, "Flame of Primal Chaos! Appear!"

Then, on Jun Mo Xie's finger tip, a pitch black flame appeared with a pa , dancing gently and silently.

Jun Mo Xie inhaled a deep breath, then exerted his strength. The Flame of Primal Chaos instantly got bigger and burnt brilliantly. Then Jun Mo Xie placed this black-colored flame into that cut surface at lightning speed.

The side of the spirit vein that was cut instantly melted, turning into a layer of shiny fluid that slowly flowed downwards, slowly gluing up the entire tiny opening…

Jun Mo Xie heaved a sigh of relief, as he extinguished the Flame of Primal Chaos from his fingers. He stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead.

How could Jun Mo Xie not be nervous?

If the experiment this time succeeded, then the Golden Jade Fluid would practically become a treasure that he could help himself to as and when he wished. No matter when he wished to use it, he only needed to stick a needle into this sealed opening and allow a couple of drips to flow out. Then, he would seal it back up in the same manner and everything will be good!

But if this experiment failed ultimately, then… this plan for upgrading their strength this time would have to be put on hold temporarily for the better!

Looking at that broken piece of Spirit Vein that was already 'sealed up', Jun Mo Xie took in another deep breath and the shining flash of sword light came cutting down again!

The sword descended!

Newly formed Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi condensed into sparkling fluid, flowing out of the two pieces that were just broken, drip by drip, then instantly transforming into misty Spiritual Qi that dissipated into the air…

"It worked!" Jun Mo Xie panted, his eyes gleaming.

"It worked?" Mei Xue Yan did not dare to believe it. "Did it really work? Are you sure? This is something unusual; if there are any errors…"

"There are no 'if's anymore!" Jun Mo Xie exclaimed happily, interrupting her. "The reason why I did not use regular water, but wasted my energy to convert Spiritual Qi into water all for the sake of preventing this 'if'! Even if the Golden Jade Fluid is a fluid formed from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, it is a lot more concentrated than the average Spiritual fluids and has an even more amazing change within it… But no matter how it changes, its original state will not change! In other words, it'll ultimately still be a fluid!"

An usually fervently glow emitted from Jun Mo Xie's eyes as he looked at the giant Heaven Earth Spirit Vein. "The experiment today is extremely meaningful and significant! This experiment has shown that the Jun Family shall begin to rise from now on and will not fall—forever!" Jun Mo Xie said slowly.

"The Spiritual Qi in the Hongjun Pagoda is thousand times more concentrated than the outside! The Heaven Earth Spirit Vein will develop even faster in here! And the Golden Jade Fluid within will only grow more and more. It is more than enough to last the descendants of the Jun Family for ages to come! As long as they bring their cultivation level to a suitable level, then borrow the effects of the Golden Jade Fluid, they will be able to rapidly advance to a Saint Emperor or even higher…"

"Indeed, as long as you remain here, the Jun Family will continue to be glorious forever." Mei Xue Yan had a hazy look in her eye, but she raised a sharp question. "But, are you really able to? Aside from you, who else in the Jun Family is capable to use this sword of yours to open the Heaven Earth Spirit Vein and is capable of using the Flame of Primal Chaos to mend the opening? Even if there is someone like this, are they able have this Hongjun Pagoda?!"

Jun Mo Xie was stunned. "You're right… I was too excited and had forgotten this important point, but I… will do my best to remain here, until the day I have no other choice but to leave!" He mumbled after a long while.

Mei Xue Yan's words were essentially talking about the fate of mankind. In her heart, even the most powerful legend would not be able to escape death. She had merely raised this fact in an obscure manner.

But what Jun Mo Xie was thinking of was a completely different matter.

In his previous life, he had never believed that there were immortals, or ghosts, or demons, or immortality and longevity; but in this life, especially after obtaining the Hongjun Pagoda, he believed it! The reality was right before his eyes, how could he not believe in it?!

If my strength reaches a level where this world can no longer accommodate me, then I definitely will have to leave! The Nine Nether First Young Master left this place since he was probably sick of it, but also because his own strength was too overwhelming!

Maybe, all those legends about people suddenly rising up to heavens in the day were perhaps real existences! Who knows!

From the two broken pieces of the Spirit Vein, Jun Mo Xie picked up one of them and cut a piece closest to its center out of it, about the size of a palm. He handed it to Mei Xue Yan. "You keep this piece. If there comes a day where I am not by your side and you are injured, just scrap some powder with a small knife, mix it with water and drink it. This piece is already showing some characteristics of Soft Jade; it is a quality good that is similar to the Heaven Earth Holy Milk."

Mei Xue Yan responded and carefully carried that piece of jade in her arms.

Jun Mo Xie was amused by how careful she was being and couldn't help but chuckle. "There's also no need to do that careful; this is just a temporary stop-gap measure. There may not be a time where you and I have to be separated. Even if we are not together for a couple of days, you may not sustain injuries anyway."

"There is no absolute in this world… There will always be someone who will be injured. Surviving in this world, especially for high level experts like us, has gone beyond the restrictions of the legal systems. It has always been survival of the fittest… Passing through everyday between life and death, there's no logic in not getting injured." Mei Xue Yan lightly sighed, her mood a little down. She forced a smile and said, "The laws of humankind and Xuan Beasts, the both of us have already gone past them now…"

"Indeed, that is how the world is!" Jun Mo Xie said. "Humans… are really a weird kind of species! Before humans came into the world, everyone had to obey the rules of the jungle—natural selection, survival of the fittest. The strong fed on the weak. Although it was cruel, but it was also the fairest. But after the appearance of humans, they started to fight for power. For what? It was all for the sake of unification, for their desires. Laws came about under this premise… The appearance of laws was originally for the sake of letting everyone be equal, and also for the country to be easily managed… But after laws were implemented, the ones who were restricted are still those at the bottom, the weak and powerless… and equality is only obtained between the weak, and merely the weak…"

He let out a deep sigh and continued. "… ironically, it is after obtaining a certain power or position that the rules will no longer abide by the basic laws, but return back to that ancient law of the jungle. The strong survives, the weak perishes… Take the fight between the Jun Family and Li Family in Tian Xiang Country, for example. Or the fights between the various families in the capital. The laws of the country… are it really effective? The most crucial thing is still which of these family is more powerful and influential, that's all…"

"As to the dispute between the strong like the Holy Lands and Tian Fa, it is the case of the strong devouring the weak! In other words, humans, regardless of strength or power, when they achieved a certain level and position, would undergo a complete change and turn into wild beasts! Which makes me curious; then all the blood that was sacrificed in the scramble for power to become civilized, or implement so-called peaceful laws… in the end, what was it all for? What meaning is there to it? Is it all for the sake of returning back to the law of the jungle at the end?"

Mei Xue Yan laughed. "I didn't expect you to have so many feelings on this matter."

"Feelings? Not necessarily. But I really do have my thoughts and confusion. But it's a pity, it seems no one can give me the answer to my questions!" Jun Mo Xie laughed bitterly. "Thinking of all these matters, the world is really f*cked up! The ones that really need fairness and equality are unable to get it. But those that have it will ultimately abandon all of it. Don't you think its funny?"

"It's not funny! Not funny at all!" Mei Xue Yan chuckled and said. "Actually there is never fairness in the world. In the past, a wise person once said, 'The prince will be punished by the same law that governs the people if they were to commit an offense'. But one thing was not made clear in this sentence. And that is that laws are determined by people! Be it the person who created this law or the person who is carrying it out. They all enjoy a certain extent of privilege! And these are the rules! And this rule is the same as the Beast King privilege in the Tian Fa Forest."

Mei Xue Yan chuckled charmingly. "The strong devouring the weak happens practically everyday in Tian Fa Forest. And us, the Kings, will never interfere or ask about it. We just let it happen. But there is only one rule: There cannot be any battles between species! We don't care about anything else. But if there is a conflict between the Beast Kings, the battle between the species will just take place if they want, even if it is against the law… The law still has effect, but we look at who was the one breaking it! Naturally, the Kings of Tian Fa Forest can be unrestrained by the laws they decided."

"Actually, mankind is just another group of Xuan Beasts, a even bigger Tian Fa Forest, that's all! Just that the privilege Xuan Beast Kings enjoy are acknowledged by all the Xuan Beasts. If you are not stronger, then you have nothing to say! And every Xuan Beast, as long as they work hard, will be able to reach this position. So all of them have hope. But humans… these privileges are not disclosed nor admitted… or rather, they are also don't admit to their own privilege so they can continue playing the role of the law-abiding citizen, but that is just hypocritical and shameless…"

Chapter 884: Risky Advancement!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Hahaha… Well said! Humans are indeed another bunch of Xuan Beasts! In fact, they're not even comparable to Xuan Beasts. They are not even as sincere nor loyal like Xuan Beasts. They're just a bunch of wild beasts who are well developed in their brains but harbor despicable thoughts!" Jun Mo Xie laughed heartily. "Law? Hmph! Laws will be broken! One day, I will create a law that belongs to Jun Mo Xie in this world! I want to be that person who creates and determines the laws, never the vermin that is restricted by the restrains of the laws!"

"If it is really up to you to determine the laws of this world, then I really can't imagine how absurd this world would turn into!" Mei Xue Yan laughed bitterly. "Let's not talk about those faraway dreams that we are nowhere near to. Let's focus on getting through this ordeal before us first."

"You are being unreasonable by saying that! Some things must be made thoroughly clear beforehand." Jun Mo Xie chuckled and plopped down on his bum. With a grin in his eyes, he said, "As long as we are able to successfully pull through the advancement this time, when we show ourselves again in the world with our suddenly increased powers, we will absolutely be facing the direct fighting with the three Holy Lands! This time, it is a relatively big and decisive battle! After this battle, no matter how it ends, the three Holy Lands will absolutely stop sending people to find trouble for us before the War for Seizing the Heavens is over!"

"If we ultimately win this battle, or even completely crush them, the three Holy Lands will no longer have any certainty in the War for Seizing the Heavens. And even when compared to the strange races in terms of their own strength, they will fall into a greater disadvantageous position due to the great decrease in their forces!" Mei Xue Yan said worriedly. "This battle… if we win, will be dangerous for the War for Seizing the Heavens! If we lose, we will fall into eternal damnation… This is extremely contradicting!"

"Contradicting? Is there really any contradiction that cannot be resolved? Not necessarily!" Jun Mo Xie laid on the ground, hugging the back of his head leisurely. "Things are different from the past now. Now, all of the Beast Kings of Tian Fa are almost reaching the level of Venerable in their strength. And the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer that I painstakingly nurtured, although slightly weaker, but are more or less similar in strength. After this battle, as long as you bring the piece of the Spirit Vein I gave you back to Tian Fa Forest, then use its powder to mix with spring water for all of them to drink, it will definitely allow all of them to leap in their strength again. And I believe, even though the leap this time won't be as great to let all of them advance to Saints, but it will definitely be significant. At the very least, it gives them the strength and right to partake in the War for Seizing the Heavens!"

Jun Mo Xie smiled. "If we lose this battle, then we probably won't make it out alive; then, we can forget about everything else. But if we ultimately win this battle, and the three Holy Lands are crippled due to us, then we will naturally not refuse the duty of the War for Seizing the Heavens that concerns the future of Xuan Xuan Continent! Even if we have to force our way breaking through, I will also create a batch of experts to thoroughly annihilate the strange races! So that Xuan Xuan Continent will never have any f*cked up matters like the War for Seizing the Heavens! And I will not allow anyone else to use this glorious mission as an excuse to do all those despicable, shameless things!"

"Besides, there is more than one way to advance our strength! I do have ways!" Jun Mo Xie snorted.

"You intend to directly annihilate the entire strange races?!" Mei Xue Yan asked, her eyes sparkling.

"Of course. That sort of trash; if it can be completely annihilated, why are we keeping them around? Do you have any objections?" Jun Mo Xie said bewildered.

"How could I have objections! If those bastardly strange races can really be exterminated for good, then it'll definitely be for the best! Since you have such confidence, determination, and great ambitions, then let's play a fierce one with the three Holy Lands this time!" Mei Xue Yan said excitedly.

Jun Mo Xie knew that Mei Xue Yan was ultimately most concerned about the War for Seizing the Heavens. This topic was not only a major thing to Mei Xue Yan; it was a deep-rooted one that would definitely not be changed in a short time.

So before this huge battle, Young Master Jun wanted to leave Mei Xue Yan feeling extremely reassured about the future. Anyway, I already have this sort of power right now; I'm not exactly talking big. And I detested those filthy strange races the most, perhaps even more than the people from the three Holy Lands, so even if they're really completely annihilated, it doesn't matter…

"Xue Yan, are you ready?" Jun Mo Xie lifted up the Blood of Yellow Flame. A cold gleam was already radiating from the tip of the sword.

"I'm ready!" Mei Xue Yan nodded her head heavily.

"When my sword descends, you must immediately collect the Golden Jade Fluid that leaves immediately; there must be no delays in between! The moment I bring my sword down, I will activate the Flame of Primal Chaos at the same time to heal up the opening! If there are any delays in between, it will result in large amount of Golden Jade Fluid going to waste. I believe you understand the importance of the Golden Jade Fluid… so there must be no mistakes!" Jun Mo Xie slowly lifted his sword. The divine sword above his head was already spitting out white sword light that was a dozen zhang!

"Don't worry!" Mei Xue Yan stared at the main body of the Spirit Vein without blinking, completely focused! A dense swirl of Spiritual Qi was brewing in both of her palms; after a few rounds of tossing and turning under the pressure of her skills, two small jade bottles were formed!

Making a jade bottle from Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi! Just to collect the Golden Jade Fluid!

"Right now!" Jun Mo Xie hollered, moving swiftly!

Jun Mo Xie utilized all the strength of his body, channeling it all onto the body of the sword.

The sword descended!

At the smooth opening that was cut, drops of tiny, purple, sparkling fluid began to flow out. The entire Hongjun Pagoda was instantly filled with an indescribable fragrance. The two of them felt completely at ease and comfortable just from smelling it.

At the instant the Golden Jade Fluid was about to drip out, Mei Xue Yan had already zoomed past like a bolt of lightning. "It's done!"

She had barely finished her words when a wall of pitch-black flame covered up that tiny opening of the main body of the Spirit Vein.

Under the silent burning process, the opening on the Heaven Earth Spirit Vein which was originally extremely hard melted quickly and flowed down, sealing up that opening which was about the size of a thumb perfectly!

Jun Mo Xie chuckled satisfactorily. His sword instantly returned back into its sheath and vanished without a trace.

The Spiritual Qi inside the Hongjun Pagoda had instantly become denser and thicker! Their coordination earlier was already impeccable, but there was still a few drops of Golden Jade Fluid that dripped onto the ground, instantly turning into immense Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi that filled up the Hongjun Pagoda!

And this time, the two bottles made out of pure Spiritual Qi in Mei Xue Yan's palms were already showing signs of melting. As if the two drops of Golden Jade Fluid inside were alive, the purple radiance got more and more brilliant. That bottle was clearly no longer able to withstand the pressure being released from within!

"No time for delays or hesitation! Use it instantly! Steady your heart to breakthrough the bottleneck!" Jun Mo Xie said resolutely. He took one of the bottles and swallowed the entire thing, including the bottle, into his stomach with no hesitation! And Mei Xue Yan did the same thing!

The moment the bottle made from Spiritual Qi entered the stomach, the outer layer of Spiritual Qi quickly dissipated and the Golden Jade Fluid within also begin to take effect! Hong ! Jun Mo Xie only left like an immense surge of energy came exploding from his dantian like a tsunami, rushing through every single cell in his body! He tried to stop it mentally, but it had no effect at all!

Sh*t!

Although he had already overestimated the effectiveness of that Spirit Energy, but from the looks of it now, he had still misjudged it. An essence of Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi that had been condensed after millions of years—its effectiveness was shocking as expected. It was really to massive!

Jun Mo Xie yelled, "Come! Let's join our palms, left advancing, right retreating, circulating the Xuan Qi as it grows and multiplies without end. Yin and yang complement each other, forming ourselves into Heaven and Earth!"

He came flying over to before Mei Xue Yan as he spoke, sitting down cross-legged. Mei Xue Yan felt like she was being tormented from the immense strength of the Golden Jade Fluid, as if her body was on the verge of exploding, gradually losing her senses, but she more or less understood Jun Mo Xie's meaning. Using her last bit of control, she compelled herself to stretch her palms forward to meet with Jun Mo Xie's, the both of them activating their Xuan Qi at the same time…

The Spirit Energies that came from the same source instantly merged as one, turning the body of these two people into a giant circle, looping back and forth repeatedly. This meant that aside from the internal circulation within their bodies, there were two additional paths available for the flow. Exiting from Jun Mo Xie's left palm and entering Mei Xue Yan's right, and the same time, the Spirit Energy inside Mei Xue Yan exited from her left palm entered Jun Mo Xie's right!

Hong ! A loud explosion came out from both their dantian, as if it was exploding in their hearts, in their minds! The two drops of Golden Jade Fluid were finally taking full effect! Exploding simultaneously within their bodies!

The unimaginable, massive Spirit Energy rushed out of their dantian in an unbridled manner like a tsunami, like a mountain flash flood. Their bodies were practically at their limits at the same time, brimming with Spirit Energy on the verge of bursting out of their bodies!

And this was only the beginning!

But this mere beginning had already driven both of them unconscious!

Only their four palms were still joined together, the Spirit Energy in their bodies rushing into their meridians like a gushing river, filling up all of their bodies, then transferring into the other party's body through their linked palms, triggering off a more intense spirit energy storm, growing stronger with each repeated circulation…

The two of them had already lost their awareness, merely circulating the boundless spirit energy in their bodies out of reflex, but this sort of subconscious circulation only caused the spirit energy storm to become more and more violent…

The skin of their bodies were already showing signs of splitting open due to the massive spirit energy, and bumps formed under their almost translucent skin. Their veins were also gradually popping up, turning from green to blood red in color The tendons of their muscles were also popping up on the surface of the skin… Tiny, visible patterned veins begin to slowly appear on the surface of their skin….

Chapter 885: The Prologue Begins!

This sign clearly showed that the effects of that drip of Golden Jade Fluid was not what these two people could bear, or even greatly beyond the limits of their endurance!

The current situation was undoubtedly extremely dangerous, and as long as any one of them was unable to bear this violent surge of spirit energy, they would bring the other person down along with them, exploding into smithereens at the same time! And right now, the two of them formed a circle loop for the energy with their palms, and the violent spirit energy was still circulating rapidly. They were also unable to separate anymore…

This was a moment of crisis that hangs by a thread!

Gradually, surrounding the two of their bodies protecting them…

As if, with a tad of unwillingness…

This was Jun Mo Xie's cleverness.

He had long predicted that if the two of them really were unable to endure it and exploded to death, at that final moment, the Hongjun Pagoda would definitely protect its owner, but it would only protect himself and wouldn't be bothered with Mei Xue Yan's life or death!

So the moment he noticed that something might go wrong, he joined his body with Mei Xue Yan's into a double cultivation, combining the spirit energy of them both into a single entity!

In this way, if the Hongjun Pagoda wants to save him, then it would also have to save Mei Xue Yan!

If it doesn't save me… hehe, does it dare?

So Young Master Jun had brazenly set this advancement operation into motion entirely because he had a strong backing like Hongjun Pagoda!

Or else… why would Jun Mo Xie dare to rashly use the Golden Jade Fluid which could cause even an immortal to explode and die? He wasn't that sick of living…

Naturally, he mustn't tell Mei Xue Yan the complete truth, otherwise this girl would definitely not let him take the risk. And she also doesn't really know how certain I am…

Let's complete the advancement first… Let it be done and cannot be changed first… Then see how it goes…

Time seemed to creep past slowly. It had already been seven whole days since the Chen Family was completely annihilated.

The Chrysanthemum City was extremely peaceful, maintaining its bustling sight as before. And it was not like no one had noticed that the once powerful Chrysanthemum City was completely gone without a trace, but definitely no one imagined that the talk of Chrysanthemum City, the Chen Family, had already completely perished with great hatred…

The manor of the Chen Family had already been taken into possession by Zhan Mu Bai and the rest, living unusually calm and peaceful. These people had spent hundreds of years killing and massacring. Killing a couple of people for the sake of the three Holy Lands meant that it was for the sake of the future of humans, for the future of Xuan Xuan Continent, and everything was in the name of justice! It was open and candid!

So what if we killed some people? And what's more, a subservient family like a lowly servant? If they're killed, then they're killed!

And they were already used to staying in the place of the victim after killing them. So if there was anything they found displeasing, it was probably the fact that there were no servants at their disposal, so they had to do everything on their own. But to experts like them who had 'retreated from the secular world', the lavishness of the human world was nothing to be attached to!!

Of course, not everyone was so at ease with themselves. One person was tormented during this entire period, and this was Qiao Ying!

This powerful, highly-skilled All Seeing Rakshesha had lost tremendous weight during these seven days!

The other people could remain self-righteous and have no qualms, eating, drinking and sleeping, with no feelings of uneasiness. But Qiao Ying couldn't…

The great beauty Qiao had the All Seeing Eye and effect of the All Seeing Eye this time was even more clearer this time. And the news it brought back was one hundred percent negative.

Qiao Ying only needed to open her eyes to see the ghosts of the Chen Family, wailing, criticizing, and crying tears of blood… Every night, there were countless of spirits weaving around, angrily condemning the people from the Holy Lands.

Especially the room of Zhan Mu Bai; inside and outside, it was packed with people.

But their enemy was too powerful; as humans, they had no way to put up any form of resistance. Now that they were ghosts, there was still nothing they could do. The powerful Xuan Qi of Saint level experts were the bane of spirits' existence. As long as they went near, they would be in danger of having their souls scattered anytime.

Other people couldn't see it, but it didn't mean that Qiao Ying couldn't! And not only could she see it, she could hear it too! But she had no suitable measures to take. If she were a cruel person, she only needed to allow her powerful Xuan Qi from her body to explode out and allow these ghosts to be thoroughly destroyed. But how could the kindhearted her do that? Besides, Zhan Mu Bai was in the wrong for this whole matter! So she could only watch those countless ghosts float about and cry in anguish…

Actually, if Qiao Ying shut off her All Seeing Eye, she wouldn't have to see anything. But… after seeing and listening to everything once, who could resist it? Even if they felt bitterly disappointed the more they watched, there was the irresistible urge to continue looking…

And during this period of time, through observing these wronged souls one sidedly, Qiao Ying thoroughly understood the true reason the Chen Family was annihilated. This left her furious at what Zhan Mu Bai had done!

The people involved in the Chen Family who were evil were only a few dozen people; even if you want to kill them all to serve as a warning, that has nothing to do with the regular servants… But Zhan Mu Bai had viciously eradicated every single one of them…

So during this period of time, Qiao Ying had brought up the idea of punishing Zhan Mu Bai numerous times! A life for killing lives, using it as a warning to the rest of the three Holy Lands that they must not be this blatant and unrighteous when doing things. But the two guardians who had came along with her opposed it.

Zhan Mu Bai was a Saint Emperor of the three Holy Lands and was a great contributor in strength to protect the Xuan Xuan Continent in the War for Seizing the Heavens. If he had to pay with his life for killing a few people from the secular world… then was there any logic in this world? This proposal was a little ridiculous!

In a fit of anger, Qiao Ying moved out of the Chen Family into a inn alone.

During this period of time, every day passed by extremely slowly for the people from the three Holy Lands. Where have all the assassins from Dongfang Family and those mysterious experts gone? Why is there no news of them?

Even if you come out to create a commotion and not let us catch you, just letting us know that you all still exist works too…

They are anxious, but Dongfang Wen Qing and the rest who were hiding were even more anxious. They had already stayed in that hidden place for over ten days. Aside from showing his face for the first couple of days, there had been completely no news from him in the past seven days. As if he had disappeared from the surface of the earth…

And the last order Young Master Jun had left was a single word: Wait!

"Wait! Wait, wait, wait, when do we have to wait until?! This little b*stard! What sort of trick is this; when he returns, let's see if I'll beat his ass!"

Dongfang First Master sounded extremely agitated and seem furious, but he completely understood the current situation and did not dare to act recklessly. Because if it were him alone, he could act recklessly and sacrifice his own life and it wouldn't be a problem. But if he implicated so many people to throw their life away, especially when there were so many lives here that were not from the Dongfang Family… This was the greatest worry of the Dongfang First Master, so even if it is frustrating, he had no other choice but to continue waiting…

With the passing of time, news continued to come in. The confirmed targets from before had all been successfully killed, aside from this place.

The assassins from the Dongfang Family had long returned back to their own missions assigned by the Dongfang Family. As to the few assassins from Jun Mo Xie's Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer, they had all begun to infiltrated Chrysanthemum City.

Dongfang Wen Qing even knew that these people were definitely already here in Chrysanthemum City. But he had no general idea of where they were located. But Dongfang First Master found this matter fascinating. Although Chrysanthemum City was not his own territory, but the reports were still coming in and out smoothly. All these people were coming in from all directions, but they all vanished without a trace, like a droplet of water blending into the waters in the ocean and he was only left completely baffled… How was this achieved?

Chrysanthemum City may not be small, but it isn't exactly big… All those people from the three Holy Lands have all that spiritual sense and all, so how come they couldn't even catch one? Looks like the people under this nephew of mine are quite capable!

Speaking of Mo Xie, that lad, what has this brat been up to these few days? I'm really going to be driven to my death from the wait!

Not only was the Dongfang First Master impatient, there was one more person who was feeling a little impatient: the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master.

This great lunatic had been waiting everyday. My injuries have already recovered to the level when I broke out of the seal in Tian Fa, and I'm definitely capable of putting up many fights already, but why is there no more news from that 'Old Master'?

You should continue creating a ruckus! You finally destroyed the alliance between the two of them, but why did you disappear at such an extremely crucial time? What are you afraid of? Don't you have me behind you?

This really gives headaches. I wanted to borrow this great opportunity that this lad provided to teach the three Holy Lands a good lesson, but from the looks of it now… Sigh…

Yet another two days passed…

The Saint Emperors from the three Holy Lands were also unable to bear it anymore.

It was late at night, and the whole Chrysanthemum City was silent. The oil lamp in the study room of the Chen Family which belonged to Chen Qing Tian was still lit…

Hai Wu Ya was holding onto his cup of hot tea. He frowned and said, "Are we being fools? Could it be that all those people weren't here in the first place, all the things were just false alarms, and they had already gone elsewhere already? And one more important thing; those people's objective for this operation is that Chen Qing Tian, who is already dead. Will they just stop and retreat like this?"

"No way, they definitely wouldn't." Zhan Mu Bai said. "Since they already created such a big commotion and came in so blatantly, they definitely won't retreat without achieving anything. Those people who are hiding in the shadows harbored evil intentions, and their real targets were never the Chen Family. It has always been us, from start to end! Now that we are already here, how could they retreat?" Recent matters had caused this Saint Emperor who looked benevolent and carefree to change, his peaceful looking appearance containing a trace of evilness.

"Brother Zhan is right! We have already been strictly guarding the four gates during this period of time; there are Saints keeping watch every day. Although there are a few suspicious people who came in, but they definitely did not exit!" He Zhi Qiu said with a heavy look on his face. "So they are definitely within the City currently! It's just that we don't know where they've holed up. We don't need to do anything but wait silently, until they are no longer to endure it. They'll jump out on their own! We should just focus on reserving our strength and biding our time."

He laughed arrogantly. "With our current strength, we don't even need to do anything! No matter what tricks they pull, it wouldn't have any effect! And there will be no accidents; we only need to wait for the battle to arrive. When this battle is over, then we will need to wait patiently for the War for Seizing the Heavens. That also needs us to wait quietly… It's better to wait now, since at least we still have something to do. It's much better than holing up in the mountain waiting for time to pass."

Zhan Mu Bai and Hai Wu Ya laughed simultaneously.

At this time, suddenly, a sharp pitiful cry ripped through the night sky!

This extremely pitiful cry was like a lightning that cut through the silence of the night, causing everyone to feel their hair stand on end! That sort of despair in the cry, in so much pain that they wished they were dead, sent shivers down people's spines!

Everyone's back felt cold… What happened?

And although this cry was the last sound the person made before he died, the person who had let out such a terrible cry was clearly an expert! And a top expert! Because the whole of Chrysanthemum City could hear it clearly!

Someone who had such immense power had to be at a Saint level!

But the moment a cry like this was made, whoever or whatever that made the noise definitely had no chance of surviving!

Zhan Mu Bai and the other Saint Emperors instantly stood up and exchanged looks, a serious look on their faces.

"That is Xia Dong Ting's voice!" Hai Wu Ya said with confidence, his face muscles convulsing as his pupils dilated and a cold gleam shot from them. The fury in his heart had clearly reached its limit!

Xia Dong Ting was a Saint expert belonging to the Illusory Blood Sea. He was a superb Xuan cultivator, but right now, he let out this sort of dreadful cry!

"Let's go! Hurry!" Zhan Mu Bai was instantly filled with rage, disappearing from the study room with a whoosh. Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu also followed after and vanished simultaneously…

The flame remained still and unmoving in the study room. These three people had left at such a fast speed, but the flame had not moved even the slightest…

The prologue to an inhuman bloodbath began with this blood curdling screech!
