“Yes!” Miao Dao and Miao Jian exchanged a glance and replied together.
“The Evil Monarch Manor’s opening ceremony is going to be held within the jungle outside Tian Nan City. With your speed, you should be able to reach there in at most five days by riding on our flying Xuan Beasts. It’ll be enough time as long as you set out before the fifth day of the sixth month. You shouldn’t turn up late, but there’s also no need to arrive early.” Miao Jing Yun instructed slowly.
“If that matter is truly verified… how should we proceed?” Miao Dao asked.
“Everything will wait until you return to the Misty Illusory Manor!” Miao Jing Yun said sternly. “Even if you really manage to verify it, you must not act rashly! The ancestor is wise and has great foresight; you must remember to not act rashly at all cost!”
“Yes!” The two replied together.
“Later, the two of you will personally go and inform the Zhan Family and make your own preparations…”
Just at this time, someone rushed in hurriedly and reported, “Manor Lord! Something weird has happened! That personal weapon belonging to the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master that had been kept in the secret chamber… has gone missing! The guards on duty had not discovered anything strange, and even the seven layered locks on the doors were completely fine. There aren’t any traces of any forced entry inside as well… but the item is missing, as if it’d just evaporated into thin air…
The messenger had a look of complete horror on his face. Even he himself would not have believed the words that’d just come out of his mouth. This matter was truly too ridiculously strange. But the truth was exactly like that!
“The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s personal weapon… is missing?” Miao Jing Yun actually didn’t fly into a rage. Instead, he sighed heavily and mumbled something to himself. After that, he raised his head and closed his eyes. A long time later, he said heavily, “Alright, you may go.”
When he opened his eyes again, his pupils that had always been filled with wisdom and confidence, were now wavering with doubt… Could it be that this world was really about to change?
This world could be said to have been peaceful for over 10,000 years now! Ever since the three Holy Lands and the Misty Illusory Manor was established, and with the addition of Tian Fa Forest as the fifth great land, there had never been any major wars!
But right now, this fine balance was going to be broken by force!
The Evil Monarch had, at such a stormy time, suddenly established his own faction! And the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s weapon which had been stowed away carefully for many years, had gone missing…
What kind of omen was all this pointing to?
Today, Mo Jun Ye had left the Misty Illusory Manor!
And today, the Evil Monarch’s invitation card had also arrived…
And on the same day, the “Divine Tune” that had been kept in the most secure area of the Misty Illusory Manor, went missing…
As he organized his thoughts, Miao Jing Yun suddenly began to laugh… truly interesting ah… Mo Jun Ye! Such far sightedness, such precise calculations… even if I want to underestimate you… it’s impossible ah…
No wonder the old ancestor viewed you so highly! But… this old man will like to see how you answer to my granddaughter in the future! How you will answer to the Miao Family…
The most difficult debt to return in this world is the debt of gratitude. This brat owed so much debt of gratitude this time; I’ll like to see how you pay it back!
Miao Jing Yun’s guess was basically not wrong. But the only thing was that he had actually wronged Jun Mo Xie… Young Master Jun had only just left the Misty Illusory Manor, and he didn’t know about the matter of the ‘Evil Monarch Manor opening ceremony’…
Unfortunately, Miao Jing Yun had already pinned the matter onto his head!
“Manor Lord, since Old Sixth is going, why is there a need for the Zhan Family to go as well?” Miao Dao said after a short hesitation. “Even if… we’re still giving this Evil Monarch too much face by attending the ceremony with such a great lineup…”
The ‘Old Sixth’ was actually of the same generation as Miao Dao and Miao Jian, whereas Miao Jing Yun was of a younger generation. Thus, Miao Jing Yun addressed him as “Sixth Uncle” while Miao Dao and Miao Jian directly called him “Old Sixth”…
“No… If my guesses are not wrong… the Zhan Family’s party will end rather bloodily…” Miao Jing Yun said with a sly smile. “Dao, Jian, don’t you think that the Zhan Family’s share of power in the Misty Illusory Manor is a little too much now?”
“Manor Lord is wise.” Miao Jian was completely convinced by him this time. The two of them had only known painstaking cultivation and did not have any deep understanding of such sinister measures. However, they could also sense the power of the Zhan Family and their obvious intentions to replace the Miao Jian at the top…
Furthermore, their small actions had become quite frequent…
From the looks of it, Miao Jing Yun had already hardened his heart this time to weaken the Zhan Family…
Compared to the calm in the Misty Illusory Manor, the three Holy Lands’s side was so angered that they nearly exploded…
According to the news they received, the Evil Monarch Jun Mo Xie was going to set up a new manor at the edge of Tian Fa Forest and formally announce their positions as a new superpower of the Xuan Xuan Continent in a few days. In practically the same instant, the three Lords of the three Holy Lands all shattered their cups and flipped over their tables!
At the same time, their enraged howls rang out from different places, piercing through the heavens… These big characters that had always behaved loftily and looked down upon the world suddenly felt as if they’d been slapped harsly across their faces!
Too despicable!
Too arrogant!
But right now was the most crucial period right before the War for Seizing the Heavens, and they couldn’t afford to start an internal fight. If there was anything that Jun Mo Xie was unhappy with, the latter could easily create troubles for them during the War for Seizing the Heavens… So although the three Holy Lands were all incredibly vexed, they could only act in contrast to their feelings, and go forth to congratulate the Evil Monarch on the establishment of his new faction!
Not only must they go, they have to arrive with great gifts, borne by people of status in their respective Holy Lands, to show their sincerity!
Despite clearly knowing that there was a disgusting fly in their food, they still had to pretend that they didn’t see it and eat the food with satisfied smiles as if it was the most delicious food in the world…
To force others to such a level, wasn’t that infuriating others to the point where they would vomit blood?
Not to mention the lofty experts of the three Holy Lands who had already been used to pushing the ordinary people of the three Holy Lands around!
But no matter what, with the War for Seizing the Heavens hanging as a sharp knife over their heads, they could only compromise as much as possible! No matter how unwilling they were in their hearts…
The various countries of the world, all the large families of the pugilistic world, all received the invitation letter from the Evil Monarch’s faction. Even the powers in the remote Grasslands of the North also received an invitation!
The number of powers that were invited this time could be said to have encompassed the entire world! And every occupation!
Although the content of each invitation letter was the same, they were divided into five different types: Golden Yellow Invitation Letters, White Jade Invitation Letters, Platinum Invitation Letters, Red Copper Invitation Letters, and Black Iron Invitation Letters!
A total of five different colors!
For an invitation letter from the Evil Monarch, it’s likely that no one who received it would dare to not attend!
This was a fellow who even dared to challenge the three Holy Lands and still came out ahead! Who would be willing to offend such a person? Receiving an invitation letter and not turning up? Wasn’t that the same as saying they were sick of living? Not only must they go, they had to go even if they sold off all their property and bankrupted the family!
Thus, the Golden Yellow Invitation Letters which was the highest tier had become a mark of status in the pugilistic world! It was a form of glory to hold one of those!
Right now, anyone who possessed even a Platinum Invitation Letter would be deemed to be people with some status. As long as a person took one out in public, they would instantly draw many envious gazes!
As for White Jade Invitation Letters… that was an idol level thing. While it was not very rare, there were only very few people who had those.
As for the Red Copper Invitation Letters… they were things that only legendary characters could have…
The invitation letter sent out by the Evil Monarch had practically split the various powers of the world into five segments! It was easy to understand, and very orderly as well!
As the Evil Monarch’s invitation was sent out, the wealthiest man in Xuan Xuan, Tang Yuan, and the “God of Wealth” of this world, immediately released a world shaking level announcement to support the Evil Monarch’s Manor. And he directly used actions to demonstrate his firm support: Anyone who’d received the Evil Monarch’s invitation would have all of their travel expenses including food and lodging taken care of by the Aristocratic Hall! And the time limit will last until they left Tian Nan!
This news truly shocked the entire world!
If all the invitation letters were counted together and the colors added up together, it would at least be in the tens of thousands! All those who received the invitation letters were all at least heroes and rulers of an area, or even kings of an entire country!
If each person brought along ten guards and servants with them, how many people would there be? It wouldn’t be much even if the counting began from the hundred thousand mark!
Assuming that each person spent 10 silvers everyday on average, the expenses of a single day would still amount to millions of silvers! And this entire event would last at least 20 days!
Calculating like that, this owner of the Aristocratic Hall would, at the most conservative estimate, need to spend over 300 million silvers! This was an astronomical price no matter who it was!
And Tang Yuan, this God of Wealth, truly did not let down his reputation as the richest man in the world. He did not even furrow his brows at the mention of this terrifying figure, and simply moved his lips and agreed. It was as simple as though he had just let out a fart…
The fatty only felt a relaxed feeling and did not feel the slightest bit of worry!
Right now, gold and silver had become nothing but a bunch of meaningless numbers to Tang Yuan!
The Aristocratic Hall was still the same Aristocratic Hall and did not have anything different. That was because fatty had become lazy… He wasn’t willing to run around everywhere like before. Thus, he’d only expanded the original Aristocratic Hall by 10 times! The amount of space it took was not that big, only slightly smaller than the Tian Xiang Imperial Palace..
The only thing was, the Aristocratic Hall still had an underground space which was not inferior to even the Zhan Family’s underground space.
Right now, one could say that even if a common copper coin landed in Tang Yuan’s hands, he could resell it for a ridiculous price of 10,000 gold if he so wished!
Because the God of Wealth said: that is the value of this coin!
Then, that would be its value!
It would have value even if it was worthless!
If you insisted that it had no value, that meant that you could not see the uniqueness of this coin…
