Because the other party had so much sorrow, they couldn’t bear to look! And they were more fearful that if they took another glance, had their gazes met again, it would intertwine quickly, tightly, and never be separated again…
Jun Wu Yi walked forward, but did his best to not look at Han Yan Yao. But Han Yan Yao’s eyes were glued to his face, unblinking, crystal-like tears slowly welling up in her eyes.
Jun Wu Yi reached out his shaky hands, retrieving the four altars into his hands. His entire body trembled as if he were experiencing a spasm, and hugging the altars, he suddenly pressed them onto his face.
“Big Brother, Second Brother, my two nephews, the bloody vengeance of the Jun Family… today… we finally get our revenge…” He choked out, and rubbing his face against those altars, he felt like he had returned to back when he was just a child, that warm, cozy feeling of being carried in the arms of his brothers.
Suddenly, the snowy ground began to move silently, and an offering table emerged.
It was Jun Mo Xie utilizing his Xuan skills, using the power of earth to create an offering table. He placed all the four altars neatly on it.
“Let all those from the Xiao Family kneel here! Worshiping honorable spirits, kowtow nine times!” Jun Mo Xie commanded harshly.
In an instant, all those in the Dongfang Family set out, each person grabbing a Xiao Family member by their heads, harshly pressing their heads down and making them kowtow!
Some people struggled angrily, but were slapped harshly, their teeth and blood flying out, and were still pressed down. Every single one of them kowtowed at least nine times.
“Xiao Xing Yun, you are the eldest Elder of the Xiao Family, and the first person of the family. You have committed heinous acts, committed wicked crimes, and killed heroes. Your sins are unforgivable! You need to know that the entire Xiao Family is ruined due to you, and they will all die without descendants because of you and perish from the world! Today, I will let you watch all the descendants of the Xiao Family die before your eyes—every single one of them—never to make a comeback forever!”
Jun Mo Xie glared at him, and raising his hand, he commanded, “Behead every single member of the Xiao Family at the altar table! Leave the bastard Xiao Xing Yun last! I want to drown him using the blood of his family!”
“Hold it!” Yun Bie Chen shouted, turning to Jun Mo Xie he said. “Young Third Master Jun, while the Xiao Family and Jun Family have a feud, now that Xiao Family is completely incapable of anything with no power to put up any resistance, you can just kill them swiftly. Why must you use such a cruel method of taking their lives!”
“Yun Bie Chen, hahaha, I have been searching for you for a long time!” Jun Mo Xie chuckled. “The head of the mysterious Eight Great Masters, Yun Bie Chen, hahaha. You came out of the mountain on behalf of the Xiao Family to witness the Dongfang Family make that oath. Now, the oath has been broken—did you witness it as well?”
Yun Bie Chen took a deep breath and said, “Yes, the collapse of the snow-covered sword peak and the driving out of all Xuan Beasts from Tian Fa! I have witnessed it! Naturally the Dongfang Family can return, but if they are to continue killing brazenly-”
“Since the oath is broken, you still have objections? Do you have the right to speak here?” Jun Mo Xie looked at him coldly, cutting him off.
“It is not that I have objections, but I only hope that the Jun Family can be merciful; I am not trying to stop the Jun Family from getting revenge—I only hope that you can let them die swiftly!” Yun Bie Chen sighed and continued. “Everyone has parents, why do you-”
“If you have no intentions to stop the Jun Family getting their revenge then all is good! Yun Bie Chen, when you witnessed the failure of Jun Family getting their revenge back then and forced the Dongfang Family to make that impossible oath, don’t think you can sit yourself out of this! You will also have to answer to us and give us a reason! So what right do you have to play the good guy in front of me!”
Jun Mo Xie laughed sinisterly. “The only thing you can do now is to be a witness! Witness the Jun Family getting their revenge successfully! Witness it from beginning to end!”
Pausing a while, he added in a low voice, “Spend your whole life playing the good person and you will be bullied, humiliated, and trampled upon for your entire life! If you cannot return a tooth for a tooth, everyone will try to sit on your heads! Only by using the most vicious, most cruel methods will make people remember you in fear! I want the world to know that this person is not to be messed with! If you have offended him—even if you are dead—you will still need to pay a great price!”
Jun Mo Xie laughed. “No wonder so many people in this world are willing to be ruffians! Be the bad guys! Because there is a great advantage here: if you are evil enough, no one dares to offend you! Yun Bie Chen, don’t you think that follows logic?”
Yun Bie Chen raised his brows and pondered for a long time before letting out a sigh.
“In this world, if a good person makes a mistake, everyone will criticize him—even those who are not involved will try to get involved. Why? Because everyone knows, that that person is a good person; even if you scold him and hit him, he will not do anything. He won’t fight back because if he fights back, then he is no longer a good person and will be subjected to everyone’s condemnation and revilement! On the other hand, even if a bad person commits the gravest act, everyone will only look on, but will not intervene. Because they are waiting for justice to punish him! If someone tries to do it, there will be a ‘good hearted person’ reminding them: this person is a baddie, he dares to commit all sorts of offense! You cannot afford to offend him because if you do, your family will be implicated! He is capable of doing so! In any case, there’s the judiciary; why would you bother with this?! And as such, this person who wanted to intervene will be dissuaded thanks to the words of that ‘good-hearted person’. And just like this, as long as the judiciary doesn’t arrive, or this baddie can escape from the eyes of justice, then he can lead a more carefree life than anyone else!”
Jun Mo Xie said all this in a sarcastic manner, then laughed loudly, “So I don’t want to be a good person! And I won’t be so extravagant to use kindness to treat resentment! I will use blood to repay blood! I’d rather have everyone in the world fear me than to have them respect me! This is me, Jun Mo Xie!”
Finishing this line, he shouted, “Start the execution! Offering tribute to the brave spirits! Whoever who tries to make another remark, kill them instantly! I don’t care who it is! Just kill them!”
On his command, blood flew everywhere.
Beheaded heads were placed on the offering table.
This was definitely a gruesome scene, but to the Jun Family and the Dongfang Family, it was a pleasing view!
They were finally getting revenge!
After Xiao Xing Yun was drowned in the blood, all members of the Jun Family kneeled onto the ground and kowtowed thrice to the altars of Jun Wu Hui and the rest.
Heavy snow flew and the wind howled across the skies.
Dongfang Wen Xin and Jun Wu Yi knelt. Their eyes were fixated on the four altars, and they did not move for a long time.
“Wu Hui… My husband. Marrying you, I had no regrets in my life, you know? Although we were ill-fated and could only be husband and wife for ten years, but those ten years are eternal to me! It was the most precious, happy ten years in my entire life! Sixteen years and eight months… Wu Hui… I hope you can be more patient; once I have finished arranging for Mo Xie and watch him establish his own family, I will join you… Be husband and wife again in our next life!”
Dongfang Wen Xin looked at Jun Wu Hui’s altar dazedly, speaking in her heart. “That day, to console me, he told me perhaps he could revive you all, and I pretended to have believed him, but I know that that is impossible… A person dying is the same as a flame going out; how could he be revived? Even if Mo Xie is has brilliant and magical abilities to revive you, but so many comrades had gone with you; how could you bear to leave them behind? If you had really revived, you would not accept it…
“But the failure of a mother I am had to let Mo Xie believe that I believed him! That day when I regained consciousness, I knew, if I had left like that… our child.. he… he will break down… Mo Xie… our son… he has suffered… Under that selfish, untamable exterior hides a fragile heart… Even Mo You and Mo Chou were under our care and protection until they were sixteen… Only Mo Xie… He was only six years old when he lost his father, mother… his father passing on and his mother going into a deep sleep… We really owe our children too much… I have to see Mo Xie establish his family, see his offsprings grow up before I can rest assured to go and join you below… because I must take good care of our last son…”
“Mo You, Mo Chou, mother misses the both of you too… I really do… Mo Chou has been cheeky from young; Mo You, you have to take good care of your brother and stop him from getting into trouble. Be filial to your father and uncle, and every year, spring, summer, autumn, winter, Mother will make new clothes for you, cook your favorite dishes and send them over to you… If you miss Mother, do come into my dreams and reunite with me there… let Mother have a good look at you both… Mother really wishes to see you guys being playful again… Both of you will always be my sons in my heart, those two butt-naked brats… If there is a next life, I will still want to be your mother and make up to you all that you have lost in this life…”
Dongfang Wen Xin continued kneeling quietly, speaking quietly in her heart with her departed husband and sons.
Heavy snow descended on her body, accumulating into a thin layer of white, but she did not move an inch, allowing that pensive grief to pass through the gates of hell, conveying all her longing and emotions to her husband and sons who were sleeping eternally.
Jun Wu Yi knelt straight, like a statue, and beside him was Han Yan Yao. Even though this knot had been undone, he still did not know how to face it.
Looking at his widowed sister-in-law and the altars of two generations of Jun Family, his heart felt like it was being ripped apart mercilessly… What should I do? What exactly should I do?! Heavens! Please tell me; what should I do?!
Han Yan Yao, who was kneeling beside him, was currently experiencing the same emotion!
The two of them were at a loss for what to do.
