Because if he tried to kill him forcefully, and his cover was blown by the enemy, then it would really be terrible, and everything would be doomed…
Jun Mo Xie only had one real objective on this trip, to release a single news: the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master was right here in Chrysanthemum City!
If he could successfully kill Zhan Mu Bai, it would naturally be good. The unique scars on the corpse would be made by the Nine Nether Frost Blade, which proved the authenticity of the news. Although this plan was not accomplished, but the effect was just as effective being spread from Zhan Mu Bai’s mouth, perhaps even better…
But the defense of a Saint Emperor expert really widened Jun Mo Xie’s horizons! It was really too strong!
He had gathered seventy percent of his strength in his stealth attack, and even an ordinary Saint would probably die from the blow! But it was almost useless on a Saint Emperor, even when this Saint Emperor had sustained internal injuries and was not at full strength!
The shocking difference between a Saint and a Saint Emperor was obvious.
When recalling the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s shocking prowess of killing Saint Emperor experts so effortlessly, Young Master Jun sighed. The difference between these peak experts and me is still too big…
Back in the snow mountains, he had successfully broken through to the second level of a Venerable. After the accumulation during this period of time, although he had broken through to the Hongjun Pagoda’s fifth level, but there seemed to be almost no difference in strength; it only transformed into a completely new state.
Now, he was only a third level Venerable! That Zhan Mu Bai was at the peak of a second level Saint Emperor; there were a dozen level differences between them… If he was really killed by me, then he’d really have met with a ghost…
Jun Mo Xie stood up and breathed out gently. Since Zhan Mu Bai’s side had already gotten the news, then next up, it’d be Cao Guo Feng and Hai Wu Ya’s turn.
But they had moved out of the Chen Manor and into the same inn. This greatly reduced the freedom Jun Mo Xie had…
Jun Mo Xie’s figure disappeared in the night.
No matter what, since the plan had already started to unfold, then it must be carried out till the end. Why not add more oil to the fire while everyone was agitated tonight?
Since the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master is here in Chrysanthemum City, I’d let myself down if I don’t find something for him to do.
While flying, Jun Mo Xie suddenly recalled a matter. If the people from the Chen Family managed to recognize that corpse, then didn’t that go to say that this ‘Free and Natural Physique prodigy’ I supposedly am could still be used in the future? Hehehe… this young master was just trying to think of how to fix this loophole, but Heaven is truly on my side…
Jun Mo Xie began to laugh licentiously as he pondered, as if he saw that Seven Colored Tree waving to him, and that Sacred Lotus Pond, Nine Segment Exquisite Lotus…
If any women coincidentally saw the smile Young Master Jun had right now, even an eighty year old woman would instantly run far away… They knew a look this indecent…
A slut!
In the inn, Cao Guo Feng, Bai Qi Feng, and the rest were all gathered in the room, their brows furrowed and suspicion filling their minds.
“If that person was not Zhan Mu Bai… then who could it be? Although Zhan Mu Bai was detestable in his words, but it made some sense. In this whole world, it is really difficult to have anyone capable of kidnapping someone under the protection of all of us!”
Cao Guo Feng furrowed his brows, unable to figure it out. “Hai Wu Ya is not that tall, and He Zhi Qiu is a little plump, and the other few Saint Emperors from the three Holy Lands have only reached the level of a Saint Emperor; it is impossible for them to enter the courtyard without us noticing… Who could it be?”
“Boss Cao, don’t be so quick to make an conclusion from how indignant Zhan Mu Bai looked. I still insist that this matter had something to do with Zhan Mu Bai or perhaps the whole three Holy Lands.”
Bai Qi Feng said as he stood. This person seemed as if he never sat down, no matter where he was. And this temper was extremely bad, speaking like a firecracker. It was his words in Tian Fa Forest back then that had caused the five greatest powers of Xuan Xuan to fall apart.
Those who knew him well knew that this person talked like this. He was born with a face and temper that asked for a beating. If one day, no one really got angry when he talked, it would really be weird…
“What do you mean?” Cao Guo Feng raised his brow.
“The logic is simple. The potential of a Free and Natural Physique, you know, I know, and Zhan Mu Bai knows. No matter what, he will not give up on it.”
Bai Qi Feng laughed coldly. “A Free and Natural Physique with no foundations is the greatest asset! Zhan Mu Bai was not silly, and neither are the rest. No matter which family, as long as the three Holy Lands gets this person, then it can be expected that two, three hundred years in the future, the family that has gotten the boy will be able to oppress the other two completely, and can even use this to make all three Lands into one single family!”
The other six Saint Emperors nodded in agreement at Bai Qi Feng’s words.
“If this is the case, after Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu know of this big matter… can they really be trusted to keep their promise? To snatch this person back and return him to Zhan Mu Bai? For just a few meagerly, useless things? If it were you guys, will you guys be willing?” Bai Qi Feng chuckled coldly.
“Of course not!” Other than Cao Guo Feng, who was still considering, the other five shook their heads simultaneously.
“Since you guys wouldn’t be willing, then how can we assume that Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu will be willing? Is Zhan Mu Bai their father?! So what if the built doesn’t match, is it that difficult for us to change our forms? It is just that we respect our statuses and are unwilling to do that and view such act with disdain!” Zhan Mu Bai laughed, his voice getting a bit loud.
“Softer!” Cao Guo Feng instantly stopped him.
He could tell that this sworn brother of his was already extremely angered by Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu’s constant supervision. He was trying to look for trouble to teach those two a lesson as well.
Cao Guo Feng had already set up a barrier. As long as one didn’t use too much strength speaking in here, those outside would not be able to hear anything. Even if the person outside was a Saint Emperor. But Bai Qi Feng had intentionally raised his volume and used his Xuan Qi when delivering his last sentence.
If those two happened to be paying attention to the movement here, they would definitely hear this sentence. To two supreme Saint Emperors who did not allow anyone to sully their dignity, this sentence was enough to instantly trigger a battle—a battle to the death!
And that was how it was. Right next door, He Zhi Qiu angrily scoffed and was about to go on a rampage following Bai Qi Feng’s sentence. Although Hai Wu Ya was also full of anger, he held He Zhi Qiu back.
“On what basis?! That bunch of people from Misty Illusory Manor are really too much. They know that we are listening, but they insult us like this. That sentence was clearly meant to challenge us. Forget it if you don’t want to join me, but why are you making me join you in being a coward?!” He Zhi Qiu spat angrily in a soft voice.
“Old He! Always think of the greater picture! Misty Illusory Manor can not care about it, because they have a whole lot of alternatives they can retreat on. If anything, they can just hide into the Misty Illusory Manor, and even Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master wouldn’t be able to enter. But can we? The situation is not in our favor; we must endure this no matter what. An innocent person will prove to be innocent!” Hai Wu Ya’s eyes were dark, and although his words spoke of the greater good, a cruel smirk hug on the corner of his lips.
“Hmph! There will be a day I make these old bastards pay the price!” He Zhi Qiu exhaled harshly and sat down again…
———————————————————-
“Brother Bai, since they are also unwilling to let go, then why did they still agree to help then?” One of the Saint Emperors who was a little short and petite asked in confusion.
“They probably wanted to reap the benefits. If they had outrightly rejected that Old Zhan’s request, and even brought up the idea of also fighting for the rights to that child, then they would end up on opposite sides, making it even more difficult to go against us. Instead, by fake promising to help, they can stabilize Old Zhan and make it easier to do work.”
Bai Qi Feng’s volume was still very loud. “This sort of low-level scheming, who can’t see past it? Even a five year old child can tell using his butt. Old Zhan was probably too blinded with his desire to notice it. To think that those two pieces of trash thought that they had set up a flawless and perfect plot, what a joke! This Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu have really shown me what is a real fool!”
The breathing of the two people next door began to get heavy, their entire body trembling with rage! Gritting their teeth so tightly it looked like they were about to shatter them…
“There is no meaning in continuing to guess blindly. What we need to discuss now is… who was it that took the child, not where Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu stand! Bai Qi Feng, you are stressing on the wrong thing. You must know that now is not the time for you to be willful. Perhaps the stance of Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu is a little dubious, but with either of their capabilities, it is hard for them to move so freely before all of us. I believe that the person that night was not any of these two people.”
Cao Guo Feng scoffed and stopped him. If he allowed Bai Qi Feng to continue speaking in such an unbridled manner, probably the whole of Chrysanthemum City would be up in the skies tonight…
“Those two scoundrels indeed do not have that capability, but they may not necessarily have nothing to do with it. Although we only have a few people here on our side, but it may not be in the case of the three Holy Lands’ side!”
Bai Qi Feng said, “Until now, even when dealing with the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master in Tian Fa Forest, three Holy Lands have only sent three second level Saint Emperors each. Not a single third or fourth level Saint Emperor was deployed. Although the forces they sent this time are not small, but it may not necessarily mean that they have no intention for the Misty Illusory Manor to put in more effort in this matter. The greatest possibility is that they were even hoping that the experts from Misty Illusory Manor can perish with the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master so that they can reap all the benefits. And this matter was avoided by Boss Cao’s farsightedness by making appropriate arrangements beforehand. Otherwise, the three Holy Lands would definitely watch from the sidelines, then take all the advantage!”
Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu next door looked at each other: they were not wrong on this.
“So I still believe that these two people agreed to help Zhan Mu Bai, but not with so simple intentions. The three Holy Lands will definitely want this unworldly prodigy, but because of the balance between then, not a single family can have it. Someone like this will definitely enter the Heaven Saint Palace and become the supernatural existence at the top of the three Holy Lands, the greatest asset and protector of the three Holy Lands!
