Chapter 865: It Really wasn't Me…
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Jun Mo Xie was a great worry for the three Holy Lands! This old man indeed felt some shame about the manner in which I killed the boy back then, but for the three Holy Lands, I had ridden us of a future lethal threat! Although this old man had lost some reputation because of it, my conscience remains clear! If I had to choose again, this old man would still make the same choice! Compared to the prosperity of the three Holy Lands, what is the reputation of a mere old man like me worth?"
"Well said! Even a despicable act like that can be portrayed in such a noble way in your mouth. Zhan Mu Bai, from your words just now—anything that could threaten the existence of your three Holy Lands should be neutralized with any methods? No matter how despicable the method is?" Bai Qi Feng who was standing at the side asked.
"Indeed! Is there anything wrong with that? Could it be that you are capable of remaining unfazed by a lethal threat to your Misty Illusory Manor? All of us are the same; what are you so shocked about?" Zhan Mu Bai shouted with rage, his chest puffed up with self righteousness.
The moment Zhan Mu Bai's words rang out, everyone from the three Holy Lands looked at him with a kind of sincere admiration. Only a few people noticed that the look in the seven Misty Illusory Manor Saint Emperors' eyes had changed yet again. If their eyes could be said to have been concealing a murderous intent earlier, it was now blazing with a naked declaration to kill!
"Good, good, you've said it really well, Zhan Mu Bai! You've finally admitted to killing the joint disciple of us seven, right? Looks like it was our disciple who deserved to die! He's the other mortal threat of your three Holy Lands, so as long as you get rid of him, the three Holy Lands can rest peacefully from here on!" Bai Qi Feng's voice was cold and sharp, like a poisonous viper.
Zhan Mu Bai coughed violently and widened his eyes with rage and some confusion. At this time, he finally regained some clarity of the situation amd remembering the earlier sentences, he spluttered. "What did you say just now…? What removing a mortal threat? And you said I killed your disciple in front of you? This… where did those words come from? What nonsense are you spouting?!"
"At this point, you still want to deny! Didn't you confess it very clearly just now? Aren't you just afraid that my disciple would become a huge threat to your three Holy Lands in the future?" Cao Guo Feng was so enraged that he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood: "This old man saw with my own eyes and even pursued you here. Then, we all saw you holding the blood-stained shirt with our own eyes; you still want to deny? Could it be that you think you're still capable of escaping responsibility?"
"Deny? What am I denying? I killed your disciple? What?" Zhan Mu Bai shook his head vigorously. This fellow was first cursed at and then beaten up; after which a heap of confounding accusations were thrown at him, causing him to be exceedingly confused. "Your disciple? Since when did you have a disciple?"
"You're still trying to play dumb? It's that kid with the Free and Natural Physique!" Cao Guo Feng was practically jumping with fury as he hollered. From the looks of it, another fight was about to break out. When he uttered the words Free and Natural Physique, Cao Guo Feng felt as if his heart was being cut by knives. Six hundred years ah… and he'd only discovered that single disciple…
Cao Guo Feng hadn't even charged over, when Zhan Mu Bai jumped up with shock. Widening his eyes to a new impossible limit, he demanded, "What did you say, what did you say?! The Free and Natural Physique kid was killed by me? Cao Guo Feng, what nightmare came into your sleep last night? What nonsense, that kid…"
As he spoke to this point, he stopped with a start. "That kid… is dead?!"
Bai Qi Feng looked at him coldly and scoffed. "Zhan Mu Bai, keep pretending! Act with all your might! Why didn't you go and become an actor back then? With your acting skills, you would have definitely been extremely famous, with accomplishments far surpassing your measly attainments as a Saint Emperor!"
"I act your mother's head!" Zhan Mu Bai was so angry that he could hardly form his words. "How could I have possibly killed him? I can't even begin to treasure the boy enough, so how could I have the heart to kill him? Just last night, I specifically sought Brother Hai and Brother He out to discuss a plan about the matter, and I even took out two thousand year old spirit herbs, and two divine weapons and gave it to them. We discussed all the way until midnight, and only then did I manage to convince them to help me. We were just about to look for you to determine who the disciple should belong to. How did he get killed by me in the blink of an eye? What kind of ridiculous nonsense is this?!"
As he talked, Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu nodded repeatedly, their faces showing faint awkwardness. Although the two of them had agreed to help, they had also received some benefits in return. Now that Zhan Mu Bai had disclosed this information so clearly in front of everyone, they felt somewhat embarrassed.
But, they also knew that Zhan Mu Bai had done it out of desperation. He had to to bring out the best evidence in this critical moment. Although it was not a comfortable feeling to be exposed like that, there was nothing strange about it.
"With Brother Hai and Brother He as witnesses, there is naturally no need to doubt this point. But who the f*ck knows what you wretched thing went to do after your meeting with them? You think that by creating a cover with those actions, you'd be completely unfaultable? Thinking that you've created the perfect alibi, you changed into a set of sneaky black clothes and snuck into our manor, abducting the boy away. However, you were discovered by us and seeing that it was impossible to escape with him, you committed this atrocious crime! Since there's no longer any hope that he will be your disciple, you ruthlessly killed him instead to prevent him from becoming a future threat to your three Holy Lands! You thought that if you didn't admit to it, it would have nothing to do with you? Zhan Mu Bai! You dare to commit the crime, but are scared to admit to it, attempting to deny and find excuses to cover yourself. You are despicable to the extreme!"
Cao Guo Feng pointed at him with rage and with a flash, he grabbed the black shirt on the ground and held it up. "Zhan Mu Bai, the seven of us chased you all the way to this place, and when we came in, we also saw you taking off this black shirt… Do you still want to deny! This old man is truly blind, to have ever treated you as a friend…"
"Black clothes… black clothes…" Zhan Mu Bai's eyes grew rigid with shock. At long last, he realized that he'd been ruthlessly set up by another person this time! All the events from before flashed before his eyes one by one: the loud voice, him coming out, the wall collapsing, the appearance of a black shirt, and him catching it… Right after that, Cao Guo Feng and the other seven arrived…
The methods of this hidden person were truly ruthless. One thing after another, every single factor was lined up flawlessly and meticulously to the extreme, leaving him no chances to clear his name as he fell into the middle of the giant plot, forcing him to stand in opposition to the several Saint Emperors.
Zhan Mu Bai choked violently and sprand up, nearly vomiting out a mouthful of blood. "Someone threw this shirt to me; this is a scheme! Someone wants to frame me! How could I possibly do such a despicable thing!"
"Frame you!? HAHAHA…" Cao Guo Feng was so angry that he ended up laughing hysterically instead. "Zhan Mu Bai, there's no need for you to try denying any further! If you dare to do something, you should have the courage to bear responsibility for it. That's the way a man should be! Daring to do something yet being too fearful to admit it is the ways of a coward! Tonight, even if you are capable of making flowers bloom with your tongue, you should not dream about escaping. My dear disciple, hopefully your soul has not departed far away yet. Watch your master take revenge for you and make this scoundrel pay the price of your death with his blood!"
"This wasn't done by me!" Saint Emperor Zhan's body trembled intensely, and his eyes grew panicked. The grief and indignation, along with the bruises and cuts on his blood drenched face formed an extremely stark image of desperation. Yet, the injustice was impossible to wash away. As his eyes darted around, he shouted pitifully. "It really wasn't me ah…!"
Bai Qi Feng sneered coldly and looked at him in a mocking manner. "Zhan Mu Bai, regardless of what your original intention was, the fact remains that you've destroyed the hope of the seven of us. Did you think that a single 'it wasn't me' will be enough to proof your innocence? Truly too laughable! Even the entire Elusive World of Immortals' ability at distorting the truth is likely not as formidable as you? To think that you even dared to call yourself open and aboveboard, having a clear conscience! Just how did those words manage to come out of your mouth?"
"You say that I did it? Where's the proof? Where's the corpse? Just a single sentence from you all, and you want to proclaim me guilty? What's the motive? Why would I want to murder that kid?" Zhan Mu Bai roared hysterically, the veins on his temples bulging exaggeratedly.
"The truth has already been laid bare; is there anyone with eyes that is still not clear about it? As for the motive, you yourself admitted it just now. What a powerful motive that was, and you still want me to repeat it again for you? As for the evidence, it's that black shirt right there! And the body?" Bai Qi Feng snorted coldly and said, "Old Sixth, go and bring the corpse here; Saint Emperor Zhan wants to look at his own work! Brothers, the rest of you get ready, we are fighting for vengeance this time; it's not a sparring session. On my command, we will act together, and tear this shameless Zhan Mu Bai into pieces! Whoever dares to obstruct us will be an enemy of the Misty Illusory Manor and will form a death grudge with the seven of us!"
A white shadow flashed out and in a short time, returned with a body. This corpse did not have a head, and it looked extremely pitiful. It was only dressed in undergarments, and one could at most discern that it was the body of a youth. Whether it was from the muscle structure or the current state of growth, this person was definitely not beyond 20 years old!
"Pu!" With a loud sound, the body was thrown onto the floor. Glaring icily, Bai Qi Feng pointed at the corpse on the ground. "Now that the human testimony and material evidence is all here, what does the open and aboveboard Saint Emperor Zhan still have to say?"
Zhan Mu Bai's body shook, and he looked with disbelief at the unrecognizable body on the ground. He swayed lightly on the spot, completely speechless.
"Do it!" Bai Qi Feng waved his hand, and six shadows flashed through the sky, their ultimate techniques all prepared in their hands!
All of a sudden—
"Yang'er?? AHHH!!! Yang'er, my Yang'er…" The Chen Family's Chen Qing Tian, who had been standing at the side and watching the show quietly, suddenly screamed aloud as he saw the corpse. Completely disregarding the numerous super experts present, he rushed out in a crazed manner.
Anxiously picking up the body, he examined it carefully. Suddenly, with a wasound, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he collapsed to the ground…
When he picked up the body, the left knee of the youth was slightly exposed, revealing a glaring black birthmark! Earlier, only half of it was exposed when the body was lying on the ground. Now that it was picked up, the entire thing was fully revealed.
This person, was the Chen Family's second son, Chen Yang!
This sudden change in the situation caused everyone in the crowd to instantly turn silent as dumb wooden chickens. Everyone's movements stopped.
Jun Mo Xie who was hiding in the sky had an ugly expression on his face. F*ck! They were at the most crucial point, and this f*cking corpse was suddenly recognized?! So it's true that the Heavens never acts in accordance to man's will… At that time, I was only focusing on selecting a youth with the correct age and figure and didn't pay attention to other things. Godd*mn…
A long time later, Chen Qing Tian finally woke up, and he howled aloud with grief. After a round of examination by the Chen Family, and the personal confirmation by the Chen Family Madam, and tens of Chen Family servant girls, it was unanimously determined that this corpse did not belong to Saint Emperor Cao's Free and Natural Physique disciple, but the Chen Family's second son, Chen Yang.
There were at least 50, 60 maidservants who came forward to identify this body. From the looks of it, this Chen Second Young Master had enjoyed plenty of comfort in his life…
Chapter 866: Fatal Misunderstanding!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When they were identifying the body, some of these girls concealed traces of glee which they did not dare to reveal.
It turned out that when Jun Mo Xie went out that night, he was in a hurry. How could there be a youth of similar size as him among the guards? As he roamed around, he heard the desperate cries of a young girl coming from a room. Looking over, he saw a despicable youth of similar size as him, forcing a maidservant, all the way looking at her lecherously. Jun Mo Xie did not have the time to find out the entire sequence of events, and he directly smacked the youth unconscious with a single slap, rescuing the girl. After that, he directly brought the unfortunate fellow back…
Even Jun Mo Xie had not expected that he'd actually done a good deed by choosing this youth, ridding this lecherous demon from the Chen Family and sending him on his way.
With how the situation turned around, everyone including Cao Guo Feng and Zhan Mu Bai were both stupefied!
If this corpse belonged to the Chen Family's Second Young Master, then… where did the Free and Natural Physique genius disappear to?
Seizing the opportunity to talk, Zhan Mu Bai quickly recounted his entire story again, especially emphasizing on one fact. If it was really done by me, why would I be grabbing onto a black shirt without letting go? With my, Zhan Mu Bai's ability, not to mention a single black shirt, even if it was a hundred, or a thousand, I would have destroyed all the evidence in an instant long ago!
Apart from the Chen Family, which of these Saint Emperors would care that the Chen Family's Second Young Master was dead? Everyone was considering a new matter right now. Where did that genius with the Free and Natural Physique disappear to? That was the main point!
If the whole thing was a plot, wouldn't this fight between Cao Guo Feng and Zhan Mu Bai be completely pointless?
Cao Guo Feng's cultivation was high, and he was still largely fine. But Zhan Mu Bai was in a terrible state. His clothes were torn and tattered, and his face was swollen, with cuts all over his body. His face had been properly disfigured, and a patch of his beard had even been torn away. His eyes had turned into the like of a panda, and his lips were as fat as sausages. Two of his teeth was missing, and he looked even worse than a pig's head. Not to mention, there were numerous internal injuries of varying severities in his body!
Even to an ordinary person, this degree of humiliation was unbearable, let alone a Saint Emperor?
Cao Guo Feng and Bai Qi Feng looked at each other awkwardly, not knowing what to say in that instant!
Who would have thought these eight Saint Emperors, all peak level experts of the world, would actually be played so ruthlessly by someone?
But at the same time, they heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts. As long as that genius was still alive, everything was fine. It didn't matter who was holding him now; they would definitely find him one day!
Zhan Mu Bai was panting raggedly, and it looked as if fire was about to spew out of his eyes as he looked at Cao Guo Feng and the rest. Growling hatefully, he exclaimed, "Cao Guo Feng! You son of a b*tch… This daddy… This daddy is unable to share the same sky as you!"
At last, his injustice was washed clean. Finally, Saint Emperor Zhan could stand up with pride! Although the words sounded strange and airy because of his missing teeth, he still managed to sound righteous and indignant. A moment ago, he felt so miserable that he even wanted to die. He was beaten up and abused like a sandbag… all in public!
And those curses earlier had probably been heard by the entire Chrysanthemum City!
How should one talk about this matter? Had I just been beaten up for nothing? There should at least be an explanation?
Zhan Mu Bai suddenly started crying; tears poured from his eyes like rain. For the very first time of his life ever since he became an adult, he cried! Only in very special circumstances would he cry… And that very special circumstance was if he felt extremely wronged and aggrieved, and when that aggrievement was cleared, well…
Right now, Saint Emperor Zhan sobbed and blubbered inconsolably like a baby.I was so wronged… I was so mistreated…
As he cried, Zhan Mu Bai suddenly thought of a very important matter. If the corpse before them was already verified to be a fake, then… where did the real person go?
His eyes swiveled rapidly. The more he thought about it, the more it seemed probable and correct. The black shirt had just been flung over, and Cao Guo Feng and the rest arrived in the next second. F*ck, even a plan to catch adultery in the act did not have such precise timing… At this kind of time, who else would want to set me up? Apart from Cao Guo Feng, this competitor, who else could it be?
"F*ck!" Zhan Mu Bai slammed his fist against the ground, and his anger rose as tall as a mountain as he roared: "Cao Guo Feng! To think that you actually had the face to call me despicable! YOU are the most despicable snake among us all! For the sake of gaining a disciple with the Free and Natural Physique, you actually went this far!"
Since he knew that he'd made a mistake, Cao Guo Feng already felt exceedingly embarrassed. The anger in his belly had already disappeared, and there was only guilt left in his heart. Especially when he saw that his old friend Zhan Mu Bai whom he'd known for several hundred years was beaten up to such a state, he felt even more ashamed in his heart. Wishing he could just sink into the ground and disappear, he opened and closed his mouth repeatedly like a fish, unable to say anything.
At this point, he decided that the only thing he could do was to try to make things up to this old friend. He must groom this old friend's descendant properly. Even if it wasn't his ideal successor, it didn't matter anymore!
Hearing Zhan Mu Bai yell at him now, he couldn't help but to shake his head with a bitter smile. Mumbling weakly, he said, "Brother Zhan? Where did those words come from? I know that you're not very happy in your heart, I'll make it up to you alright? Just bring that great grandson of yours to me later, I promise to groom him well…
Zhan Mu Bai leapt up with rage, taking two steps forward and arriving rapidly before Cao Guo Feng's face. With a swift stretch of his hand, he grabbed the latter's collar and pulled him forward. "You sneaky thief crying "stop thief!" Do you dare to say that all this wasn't set up by you? Pui ! I must have been blind to have treated you as a friend for several hundred years! Now that your plot has been exposed, did you think that a simple apology and compensation was going to be enough to end the matter? You want to accept this daddy's great grandson as a disciple? You must be dreaming! Would this daddy still dare to leave my great grandson in your hands? And let you 'groom' him into a shameless and despicable ruffian like you?!"
His spittle sprayed all over Cao Guo Feng's face, and the latter wiped it away with his sleeves as he lowered his tone dangerously. "What nonsense are you speaking about? Take note of your decorum… an esteemed Saint Emperor, not even caring about your face… I'm sincerely trying to make things up to you. You yourself said that your great grandson's life is in danger, but now you're saying…"
"Decorum? Face?!" Zhan Mu Bai coughed out a bit of blood in his rage. "My decorum had already been dumped into the toilet because of you! My face had already been torn off and used as toilet paper by you, Cao Guo Feng! Now that your sh*tty plot was revealed, you want to bring up the matter of my great grandson again to threaten this daddy? Let me tell you, even if this daddy is left without any descendants; even if this daddy's family line was ended, I don't need your help! Cao Guo Feng! Quickly bring out my disciple, and we'll have nothing to do with each other in the future! Otherwise, only one out of the two of us will leave here alive today!"
Cao Guo Feng blinked blankly for a moment as he stammered. "Wh… what disciple? What are you talking about?"
Zhan Mu Bai's eyes widened and he hollered. "MY FREE AND NATURAL PHYSIQUE DISCIPLE! Cao Guo Feng, you're truly ruthless! You knew that I would fight with you for the disciple, so you decided to take the initiative, stealing the beams and pillars and replacing them with rotten timbers. First, you killed the Chen Family's Second Young Master, smashing his head with a slap, then you maligned me and charged me with the crime. After that, you all came together to accuse me and attract all the attention, while hiding the child away in the chaos. Tell me, am I right?"
Cao Guo Feng stared at him with disbelief and tied tongue. Who would have thought that this fellow's brain was actually so quick and imaginative, actually managing to take a completely baseless thought and make it sound so logical and reasonable, turning around to accuse him instead!
"Bastard! What bullsh*t are you spouting!" Cao Guo Feng was angered. "We've known each other for so many years; am I that kind of person?"
"F*ck off with your dogsh*t so many years! Right before this, hasn't this daddy also 'known you for so many years'? Was this daddy also 'that kind of person'? Didn't you still thoroughly humiliate me?!"
Zhan Mu Bai's eyes were red as he stared steadily at him. "Cao Guo Feng ah, Cao Guo Feng. Previously, I was still feeling curious… that Free and Natural Physique kid was staying with you guys last night, and with seven great Saint Emperors around him, he was actually captured and killed by someone. In this world, is there anyone with such great skills? Hahaha… I'm such an idiot…"
He laughed miserably as he turned his head to the sky. "In this world, those who could catch a living person under the close protection of seven Saint Emperors and escape… perhaps other than the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, there's probably nobody else! To think that I hadn't discovered such an obvious flaw just now… I actually failed to notice that this was just an excellent show directed and acted out by our talented Saint Emperor Cao Guo Feng! What a peerless genius of the theater! To think that you had the cheek to mock me and call me a great actor just now. I have to say, the acting skills of your Misty Illusory Manor is even more impressive! Cao Guo Feng, if at this point, I still failed to see through your motive, this old man would have lived my life in vain!"
When Zhan Mu Bai said those words out, all the experts of the three Holy Lands gasped and collectively issued an "ohh" sound. This explanation was highly possible!
As Zhan Mu Bai had said, who in this world could kidnap a living person right under the nose of seven Saint Emperors? That was simply an impossible matter!
It was an irrefutable fact!
Not mentioning seven Saint Emperors; even if it was only one, as long as the Saint Emperor went all out and protected the person with all his strength while disregarding his own life, unless he died, the person he was protecting would definitely be safe and sound!
This was the strength of a Saint Emperor level expert! And the kid had been guarded by seven great Saint Emperors! Something that even the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master couldn't do was likely also impossible for any other person in this world!
"A bunch of nonsense! This is unfounded deceit! You're turning black into white! Preposterous!" Cao Guo Feng was so enraged that his entire body shook. Even the hair on his head, and his beard were trembling. Right now, he could finally understand how Zhan Mu Bai had felt a moment ago.
It was already embarrassing enough to lose his disciple. But now, that pot of sh*t had also been poured over his head…
Zhan Mu Bai's analysis was rational, and his inference was logical. Furthermore, he stood on the side of reason. People soon began to side with him and began to offer him advice. However, their words of persuasion all seemed to hold more meaning within them. While casting strange looks at Cao Guo Feng, Hai Wu Ya sidled up to Zhan Mu Bai and advised, "Brother Zhan, for this matter, it's better if we give the matter further thought and discuss it later. Brother Cai has always been an upright person. When we think things through for a few days, it wouldn't be too late to sit down and talk again…"
He Zhi Qiu also nodded and added, "Brother Zhan, this matter should not be rushed, we should take it slowly and talk about it at length…"
Their words all hinted at the same thing. Everyone's opinion were the same as Zhan Mu Bai: at this moment, it was clear that the genius disciple had definitely been hidden away by Cao Guo Feng. In fact, it was quite likely part of a grand scheme by the seven Saint Emperors of the Misty Illusory Manor to palm off a substitute for the real thing, while attempting to get away scot free by deceiving the entire world!
Chapter 867: Fake Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master…
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Misty Illusory Manor's objective was to monopolize secretly! This Cao Guo Feng, he was actually thinking of making a talent that had been exposed into an invisible man for the Misty Illusory Manor to secretly nurture into their secret weapon? Then suddenly make it known to the world?
How could there be something this easy?!
But things had already gone to this state; no matter how Cao Guo Feng tried to hide, he would still need to bring him back to the Misty Illusory Manor. As long as you keep trailing after him, it'll be revealed someday…
And one more thing: You, Zhan Mu Bai, is already severely injured. You are not their match, you'll only be humiliating yourself by forcefully battling them.
Bai Qi Feng stepped out and said coldly. "Saint Emperor Zhan, we were wrong for being mistaken, but you also cannot accuse us just because you felt unfair after suffering this disadvantage. When it happened, the few of us were together for the whole night. We can be witnesses to each other's alibis! We, the people from Misty Illusory Manor, are really incapable of that sort of despicable act!"
"Witness? What use is there in you guys bearing witnesses!" Zhan Mu Bai was utterly crazy. "Aren't you guys all the same? The seven of you are the shared master of that prodigy, haha, the seven of you come from the same place! You're all acting in collusion, and you still want to be witness for each other?! Don't forget, I was listening when you guys made the discussion to share the disciple! Bai Qi Feng, do you f*cking think that we are all idiots? You said you cannot believe the words I said. Then now let me return you the same sentence: If you were in my position, will you believe the evidence you speak of? You are truly shameless!"
Cao Guo Feng and Bai Qi Feng were instantly enraged. Cao Guo Feng was still feeling guilty for wronging his old friend, but right now it was all gone, and only endless anger remained in his heart! He uttered coldly. "Whether you believe it or not, that is your problem. The truth of the matter is just like this; we didn't do it, that is all! Zhan Mu Bai, Saint Emperor Zhan, I am indeed sorry about the matter today. But truth will prevail someday! You do whatever you want, but we brothers shall take our leave!"
"Take your leave?! Cao Guo Feng, you make it sound so easy. You have given me such a great humiliation, but now that I've seen through your tricks, you are planning to just leave like that?! How can it be so simple?"
Zhan Mu Bai said angrily. "You can leave if you want, but leave your head behind! Or leave the disciple behind! Pick one out of the two. Cao Guo Feng, you decide!"
"I'll leave you with a f*ck!" Bai Qi Feng spat on the ground disdainfully. "Zhan Mu Bai, are you still not aware of what your position is? A mere piece of trash like you actually is thinking of making Brother Cao leave his head behind? Keep f*cking dreaming! Were those few hits earlier not enough for you? Are you still looking for a beating?!"
Both parties at this point had already thoroughly fallen out, so Zhan Mu Bai's tone was extremely ruthless, leaving no room for amendments, and Bai Qi Feng's words were even more harsh! Every single sentences tore away at Zhan Mu Bai's scars!
Cao Guo Feng let out a long sigh and turned around. "Stop wasting your breath, let's go!" He led the way to leave.
Bai Qi Feng took a few steps backwards, his eyes never leaving those of the three Holy Lands's. Looking at Zhan Mu Bai, he laughed mockingly and wagged his finger, slowly saying, "Zhan Mu Bai, one should always do what is within their means. Keeping us here? You are still not worthy of it!" Then he turned around and followed Cao Guo Feng. The remaining five Saint Emperors also had a disdainful look on their faces, looking at Zhan Mu Bai indifferently and coldy before leaving.
Zhan Mu Bai was so angered by Bai Qi Feng's words that his eyes almost turned black, and he could barely catch his breath. Only after a while did he managed to soothe his breathing. He coughed violently before cursing loudly like he was crazy. All the female relatives of the seven Saint Emperors from Misty Illusory Manor were instantly in bad luck.
The onlookers were full of amazement, feeling as if they had seen or rather, heard a whole new world!
Everyone present had heard of people hurling abuses, and they probably had experienced the worst possible kind of it… but who would have heard a Saint Emperor hurling abuses before? It was something completely unheard of!
Chen Qing Tian watched the people from Misty Illusory Manor leave, fury and rage burning in his eyes. In this mind, he naturally believed Zhan Mu Bai's judgement. These few Saint Emperors from Misty Illusory Manor had killed his own son, using him as a substitute for the lad so as to hide the truth.
But due to the overwhelming prowess of Cao Guo Feng and the rest earlier, he did not dare to say anything. Seeing that they had left, he then walked forward full of anger and fell onto his knees before Zhan Mu Bai. His tears falling before he had even spoken. "Saint Emperor Zhan, my own son who was innocent has died so tragically in the hands of the Misty Illusory Manor; you must seek justice for me…"
Zhan Mu Bai was currently feeling ashamed and resentful, furious and losing his logic. Upon hearing this, he sent Chen Qing Tian flying with a kick. He shouted, "F*ck off! If I seek justice for you, then who shall seek justice for me?! Get lost! Don't bother me! If you dare to make any noise and piss me off, today I'll annihilate the entire Chen Family!"
Chen Qing Tian flew up in the air. He was already so feeling frustrated and full of grievances that he felt like he was about to die. You guys came here, ate using my money, stayed at my place, took what is mine, used what is mine, entertained yourselves with mine, and ordered my entire family around like servants, scolding us the moment something doesn't go your way. Today, my son has been killed and I'm begging you to return me a justice, but to think that you'd actually treat me like this…
Does this make sense? Where is the fairness?
His sight darkened, the place where he was kicked was immensely painful, as if his internal organs were about to shatter. He spat a mouthful of blood… and landed, rolling for a while before turning unconscious…
A 'small fry' like him fainting was just simply a tiny matter; even if he really died, what could possibly be done? People from the three Holy Lands saw that the drama was over and began to leave. Zhan Mu Bai stormed into his room angrily, sitting cross-legged to treat his wounds. But the more he thought about it the angrier he got. His head felt as if it was on the verge of exploding. He just couldn't bring himself to focus and calm down, even until afternoon. He angrily drank a few mouths of water and hurled the pot away.
The people from Misty Illusory Manor moved out of the Chen Manor in the morning, moving to an inn in the City. Of course, Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu from the three Holy Lands had kept them company for the entire journey. These two people had accepted Zhan Mu Bai's bribes, so naturally they would follow and keep an eye on the Misty Illusory Manor.
Cao Guo Feng and the rest were so upset that they felt like killing themselves. No matter what, they were in the wrong for the matter today, but they were also embarrassed to thoroughly offend those two people further. So they could only suck it up and treat the both of them as if they were invisible…
Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu settled down into the inn together with them shamelessly.
Although the three Holy Lands were competitive amongst themselves on the surface, but experts who are at the level of Saint Emperors were clear of the fact that the three Holy Lands were one family. Gaining glory together, facing destruction together. Cao Guo Feng and Bai Qi Feng had insulting Zhan Mu Bai from Elusive World of Immortals right in their faces; it was the same as insulting the Illusory Blood Sea and Supreme Golden City!
How could the two of them not be angry? Both of them had made up their minds that even if it was not for Zhan Mu Bai, they must find that prodigal youth with the Free and Natural Physique. And when that time came, if Cao Guo Feng and the rest still refused to admit to their deed, they were willing to trouble their ancestors for the sake of snatching this talent back!
This was no longer a simply an issue of who the prodigy with the Free and Natural Physique belonged to, but a matter that concerned the reputation of three Holy Lands!
Wasn't the way the Misty Illusory Manor did things a little too arrogant? Literally toying with a Saint Emperor from the three Holy Lands like they were fools! Was there something so simple?
Right now, all of them had firmly believed that this matter was all plotted by Cao Guo Feng to monopolize that prodigy! When we find that person, let's see what you, Cao Guo Feng, have to say?
You can insult the three Holy Lands until we are unable to retort, but we can also drive you till you commit suicide! As long as the evidence is present and presented to the world, even if you are a Saint Emperor, you, Cao Guo Feng, must give a reasonable compensation and answer!
And when that time comes, this answer shall be your life!
Nightfall came. Zhan Mu Bai had finally calmed down, exercising his arts to treat his wounds. Although his external wounds look horrid, they were all superficial wounds. With the shocking recovery ability of Saint level experts, it could all be treated within a day. But rather, those few solid blows from Cao Guo Feng had really caused internal injuries, which would require thorough treatment for a few days!
In a single day, Chen Family's attitude had also obviously turned indifferent. But Zhan Mu Bai did not put it to heart. In his eyes, a small wordly family like this was really not worth a mention. If one day he was really upset, it didn't take much for him to wipe them out.
It was late at night and Zhan Mu Bai wrapped up, feeling the internal injuries in his body. He sighed hatefully again. This Cao Guo Feng really didn't hold any punches…
Just at this moment, the sound of wind came from outside the window, turning to an eerie and creepy atmosphere. Zhan Mu Bai raised his brow and coldly asked, "Which expert has arrived? I invite you in to speak!"
With a low chuckle, a black figure entered the room with a whoosh . The doors and window remained closed, but this person had somehow managed to enter the room, calmly taking two steps before Zhan Mu Bai.
This person was tall and dressed in black, eerie black mist rising from his body, making him pitch-black. It was as if he were a mere illusionary shadow, so surreal. Although this person was wearing black, with nothing covering his face, Zhan Mu Bai felt like his face was blurry. He had used all his eye power to look but he just couldn't get a clear look of his face…
This person was like an malicious spirit that had entered the human world in the night.
"The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master!? It's you! It was you?!" Zhan Mu Bai was taken aback, a chill running down his spine.
"To be able to quickly recognize this seat, good eyesight!" This person's tone had an extremely cold and chilling vibe. Although he was talking, his mouth seemed to have not moved at all. He looked at Zhan Mu Bai, his eyes turning completely white before completely black, then finally turning into the eyes of a normal person.
Secretly, this 'Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master' was about to die from laughter. What Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master was this? It was just Young Master Jun playing the devil again.
And this time, it was the beginning of the big battle between him and three Holy Lands. The most important person in this, was the one he was pretending to be, the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master!
Zhan Mu Bai broke out in cold sweat.
This lunatic… Why did he not look for anyone else, but sought me alone?
Chapter 868: Why is it…
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although Zhan Mu Bai was aware of the severe injuries the Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master had sustained, and he may not really have the capabilities to actually kill him, but this person's name and reputation still caused him to feel fearful. Especially now that he had sustained internal injuries, it may not be severe, but his strength had been reduced!
"Saint Emperor Zhan, was it?" The Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master's tone was full of disdain and arrogance, as if he were giving Zhan Mu Bai a lot of face by speaking to him.
Zhan Mu Bai initially only had eighty percent confidence in acknowledging that this person was the Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master. But the moment he had opened his mouth to speak, this eighty percent instantly became hundred percent! He was absolutely sure!
Aside from that lunatic, no one else in this world would speak in this sort of tone! Especially to a Saint Emperor!
Zhan Mu Bai's emotions also instantly calmed down. Knowing that the situation was already beyond bad, Zhan Mu Bai had calmed down instead. He slowly stood up and smiled. "I was unaware that senior would arrive; forgive me for not receiving you properly. I just fought with someone today and sustained some injuries, so I do not look proper. I've embarrassed myself before senior."
The Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master had made a reputation way before him, so it made perfect sense for him to address him as senior.
Furthermore, the Nine Nether Fourteen Youth Master was not only known for his extraordinary prowess; he was even more known for his ruthlessness and lack of hesitation in killing. If he had truly came for his life, he would have already taken action without saying anything already.
Since he had not struck yet, then he definitely was not here to kill me. As long as I don't intentionally provoke this fearsome person, I should be able to avoid a battle. Then, there is no need to be too anxious, putting myself down for no reason.
Besides… it has been less than a month since this fellow sustained all those heavy injuries; he shouldn't have made such rapid recovery. Even if I am still not his match, there should be no problem holding him off for awhile until backup arrives.
With this train of thought, Zhan Mu Bai decided. As long as my life is guaranteed, then everything is open to discussion!
Zhan Mu Bai had already made up his mind, so he instantly regained the graceful manner of Saint Emperors. At least, he was not as frightened as earlier. But anyone who was more wise would be able to see through his attempt at putting up a strong front. Yet this was actually understandable. When meeting with a fearsome person of his generation all alone, out of all the people in this world, how many could really not feel fear? Even Young Master Jun may have felt nervous back then!
"En, Little Zhan, if not because you were injured today, this Young Master wouldn't have come." This Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master said condescendingly.
"Oh? What does senior mean by this?" Zhan Mu Bai was perturbed hearing this. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master's way of addressing him. Little Zhan? This Little Zhan me is already seven hundred years old… There were rumours in the three Holy Lands that 'this young master' was the Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master's catchphrase. And this fearsome person of his generation was at least eight hundred years old in age… being called Little Zhan by him seems appropriate.
"Hehehe… Zhan Mu Bai, that day back in Tian Fa Forest, the attack from your sword pierced through my heart and lungs, almost sending this young master to eternal damnation. It was so mighty of you." The Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master cackled weirdly, his tone full of malice.
This sentence was definitely incapable of being said by anyone unless they were there to experience it personally!
Zhan Mu Bai laughed indifferently and replied, "Senior, what are you talking about? Let's not even talk about back then; even right now, we are still enemies. Naturally I must be unscrupulous! I only resent that my Xuan skills were inadequate, not enough to kill you with a single sword! I am full of regret in my dreams for letting that great opportunity slip!"
The Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master scoffed and said, "You sure are gutsy. You dare to be sarcastic in your words even when facing this young master? Are you really not afraid of death?"
Zhan Mu Bai laughed loudly and replied, "I believe that anyone who is human would fear death, but if senior had really intended to kill me, be it my words of sarcasm or fear of death, could they really stop Senior from attacking?"
The Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master paused before cackling weirdly, the black mist surrounding him rose and swirled about. "Well said. Good Zhan Mu Bai, just on this state of mind and poise of yours, you are still worthy of being a supreme Saint Emperor!"
He paused for a moment. "But how do you know that I am not here to kill you? Or rather, did you really think that I am incapable of killing you?"
Zhan Mu Bai jerked upon hearing this. The Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master who was just in front of him suddenly vanished, and a sharp swooshing sound came from behind him, as if a sharp blade was cutting through the air!
Zhan Mu Bai was shocked, instantly dodging it. He felt like a piece of paper, landing roughly onto the ground. But he still felt a sharp pain in his back; clearly he was stabbed by some sort of weapon. But under his dodging with all his might, it turned out to be a superficial wound. As expected of the instincts of a Saint Emperor expert.
Zhan Mu Bai secretly praised his luck, but he did not dare to take his chances. With a powerful turn of his body, in the turn of an eye, he had already alternated eight types of techniques, and changed his form over ten times, trying to escape with all his might!
But after that sudden attack, the Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master clearly had no intentions to continue attacking. Zhan Mu Bai was confused. Since both parties had already began to act, why did this fearsome person stopped attacking? He finally snapped back to his senses, and looking at the lunatic before him, he suppressed that loud shout for help he had prepared. After all, the moment he called for help, it would definitely enrage this lunatic. Let's see what he wants first before making the decision.
That Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master was holding an unusually narrow peculiar weapon and seemed to be scratching his left hand with it. He did not even look at Zhan Mu Bai.
Nine Nether Frost Blade!
Loud laughter rang out. Without raising his head, Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master said in a seemingly delighted tone. "Back then, you had a part in my severe injuries which have yet to recover even till today. I was frustrated, so I thought I'd come and get rid of you today to resolve this enmity. But I see that you are still relatively straightforward and upright in your conduct. This young master seems to be taking advantage of your injuries. Forget it, this young master always has many enemies. If I kill you like this today, you will definitely not accept it. I shall let you live for a few more days. That just now was merely to tell you, that if this young master really wishes to take your life, you won't have much time left!"
The swirling mist surrounding the Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master thickened again, turning denser and denser, to the point the human figure was barely visible. Then with a whoosh , it completely vanished, along with the body of the Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master.
All the doors and windows were still closed. There was only Zhan Mu Bai left inside the room. Nothing inside the room had been shifted; there was not a single trace of someone else entering. From start to end, it was as if he had been dreaming.
What a terrifying nightmare. Had Zhan Mu Bai died just now, it would have been the perfect 'locked-room murder' mystery!
Zhan Mu Bai stood in a daze, still in shock. He slowly moved his body that was almost completely stiff, sitting down on the chair with great difficulty. He stared in shock for a while, before breaking out in cold sweat!
That was close…
Since the Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master had suddenly appeared, Zhan Mu Bai may have appeared calm, but his mind was already in a frenzy. He could barely force himself to keep calm. Back when him and the other twenty Saint Emperors joined forces to ambush the Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master who had just broken out of the seal and retained nearly a thirty percent of his full strength, some of them died and the rest were injured…
But now the other party had only come after himself, could it still be good for him?
When faced with someone as fearsome as him, Zhan Mu Bai did not even dare to call for help loudly even though he had put on a strong front, all in fear of triggering the other party. Zhan Mu Bai forced himself to look past life and death and attempted to converse calmly. But even so, when the enemy had attacked, Zhan Mu Bai was terrified!
The response he made in that moment was purely instinct, a defensive instinct he had cultivated as a habit!
But I didn't die earlier not because I was strong enough in my countering, it was merely because the enemy did not intend to kill me… But here was the weird thing: That person only said a few sentences, stabbed me lightly, and left.
Why?
Why did he not kill me? Since he had no intentions to kill me, then why did he come? Then the things he just said, were they all bullsh*t? What is the meaning behind this?
Some time had passed since that person left. He'd probably be long gone with his level of agility. But Zhan Mu Bai's aftershock started to hit him in waves… His face turned pale as he sat on the chair in a daze. His entire body trembling, there was only one thought in his mind: Why?
After a long time, the cold sweat finally stopped coming out of Zhan Mu Bai's body. He regained his senses and shouted, "Men! Come, Men!"
He totally did not realise that his voice was hoarse when he made this cry!
—————————-
The fake Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master activated the Yin Yang Escape and exited Zhan Mu Bai's room, quickly disappearing in the air. In a blink of an eye, he had already left the Chen Manor.
Young Master June chose a quieter corner to land, before revealing himself. He couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, also screaming internally: Why?
How could Jun Mo Xie not wish to kill Zhan Mu Bai? If he could, for an enmity this great, he wished that Zhan Mu Bai would not live for another second! But the problem was: he was still the fake Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master, and not the real Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master!
Not that he was unwilling to kill, but he was incapable of it!
He couldn't kill him!
With his current strength, he still couldn't kill Zhan Mu Bai. Even when Zhan Mu Bai had internal injuries and was not at his full strength!
Although Zhan Mu Bai was scared out of his wits by the sudden arrival of the Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master, he was still a Saint Emperor and still had the instinctive reaction of a Saint Emperor! And because of this, Zhan Mu Bai who was suddenly attacked instantly gathered this Xuan Qi in his body and used it as defence. Jun Mo Xie used seventy percent of his strength and the Nine Nether Frost Blade, but was still incapable of breaking his Xuan Qi defense!
He could only leave a small cut wound on him!
A small wound like this; even if you made a thousand of them, did not have much effect on a Saint Emperor!
So Jun Mo Xie instantly made the decision to retreat immediately!
His objective hds already been met anyway. Killing Zhan Mu Bai or not, the ending would be the same. As long as Zhan Mu Bai viewed him as the Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master, his goal had been beautifully accomplished.
Chapter 869: Continue Stirring Trouble
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
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!
Chapter 870: I'll Let You F*cking Experience the Cool Autumn!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A look of contempt flashed across Bai Qi Feng's eye. "Although letting a youth enter the Heaven Saint Palace as a guardian is an incredulous matter that is completely unheard of, this youth has the Free and Natural Physique that has never been heard of in all of history… If they are able to get this person, the Heaven Saint Palace will definitely be willing to make an exception. There is no doubt about this!"
Next door, Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu looked at each other dumbstruck.
Although this Bai Qi Feng was arrogant and egocentric, but he was not wrong in his analysis. The two of them were planning on this.
After this, the words from next door could no longer be heard. Clearly, Bai Qi Feng obediently lowered his volume knowing that there was no point in his provocation. After all, the conversation involved many secrets relating to the Misty Illusory Manor that mustn't be known by people from the three Holy Lands. With Cao Guo Feng's powerful barrier, Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu who were way inferior to this Saint Emperor in cultivation could no longer hear the conversation…
"What will subsequently follow will be even easier to predict. Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu may have agreed to Zhan Mu Bai on the surface, but they'd definitely report to the Heaven Saint Palace at the same time!" Bai Qi Feng chuckled. "Boss Cao, as long as the three Holy Lands send more than these people present here, or perhaps if people from the Heaven Saint Palace come, this theory is completely valid. Even if it is not a hundred percent true, it will be at least eighty percent accurate.
"The result: The experts from the Heaven Saint Palace came and kidnapped the lad. And the greatest possibility is that they sent two experts. One leaving with the boy, and the other luring us away with the second son of the Chen Family and killing him with one strike at the crucial timing to make the Misty Illusory Manor give up hopes completely… Even if the seniors from the Misty Illusory Manor come afterwards, they can easily push them away with a single sentence of 'the boy is already dead'."
"Makes sense! He had originally thought that the head had been smashed, so no one will be able to recognize him. If Zhan Mu Bai becomes the scapegoat of this, or even if they sacrifice Zhan Mu Bai to appease this matter, it would be worthwhile. It is all worth if as long as they get that boy. But the head of Chen Family had unexpectedly recognized the real identity of that corpse from a single birthmark. This matter definitely ruined their plans and instead gave themselves away, allowing us to conjecture the truth of the matter!" Cao Guo Feng said.
Although he said 'conjecture the truth', but his brows knitted even more tightly. If it really was the case, then this disciple was really out of his grasp now…
"It is not necessarily entirely impossible to snatch him back!" Bai Qi Feng could tell Cao Guo Feng's worries. He chuckled and said, "How can our disciple be so easily snatched away by them? We may not necessarily do anything about this matter."
"What's the plan?" Everyone asked collectively.
"The Misty Illusory Manor has always been a single entity, unlike three Holy Lands who constantly dwell in the conflict of interests between each other. As long as we report this situation, then have the Lord of the Manor step in and mediate and request for this child to be returned to us. After that, we make another request to the Lord to accept this disciple under us… You are all aware, the Lord doesn't care about this. As long as the person is in the Misty Illusory Manor, he wouldn't bother whose sect is he really under, as long as it belongs to the Misty Illusory Manor. Even if the Lord wants this lad, then there is also no big deal in letting the child accept another Master. It will still be better than letting that child go to waste or turn into our opponent…"
"That is a way of going about it…" Cao Guo Feng frowned and considered the feasibility of this solution carefully.
"Only that in this way, this will definitely cause conflicting views between the Misty Illusory Manor and the three Holy Lands. But… from today onwards, the conflict between both parties is already irreconcilable. There is no harm even if we offend them again. Besides, things can be talked about more easily between them seniors. Furthermore, Boss Cao has been carrying all the matters of the Misty Illusory Manor for all these years, working hard and delivering great work. The Lord will have to give this face no matter what, or else wouldn't it chill everyone's heart? And needless to say, if that child really lands in the hands of the three Holy Lands, he is very likely to become a great enemy of the Misty Illusory Manor in the future!"
Cao Guo Feng's eyes began to regain its clarity as he listened. Finally, he clapped his hands and said, "Indeed! It is true! Qi Feng's head is truly more witty; I was so troubled earlier that I could barely eat…"
Bai Qi Feng laughed. "Boss, you were just as confused as Old Zhan, precisely because you cared too much, you couldn't see through the complexities within… Whereas I am different, and you guys know that I'm someone who is always heartless…"
Everyone burst out in laughter, feeling much more relaxed. They had regained hope in seizing this disciple with the Free and Natural Physique back.
They had even began to discuss the details, like how to avoid the three Holy Lands and report this matter back to the Lord of the Manor as quickly as possible. Their volumes naturally began to turn softer and softer.
These were all the real secrets; if they were overheard by outsiders, it'd really ruined everything. Although the two Saint Emperors next door had gathered their strongest skills, utilizing the senses of their bodies to the fullest, almost to the point that their ears were about to stand up, they still couldn't hear a single thing. They sighed.
The seven Saint Emperors were discussing together, but Bai Qi Feng had something else on his mind. Although he did not talk about it, but he really felt extremely indignant inside. This rare, good disciple is gone just like this; although I'd vented much anger by giving that Zhan Mu Bai a good trashing, but from the looks of the current situation, Zhan Mu Bai is actually also a victim. Those two real culprits Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu actually dared to keep tabs on us, and we cannot do anything about it… What is this? This is too insufferable!
How can this anger be vented if we don't show them some color?! If we really swallowed this grievance, then wouldn't that let them think that the people from the Misty Illusory Manor are great pushovers?
Even though Boss Cao is full of rage, but he still thinks of the greater picture and is unwilling to completely fall out and blow this matter up… If this continues, how can this anger be vented?… With a twinkle in his eye, Bai Qi Feng secretly came up with a plan. Didn't they claim to have accepted Zhan Mu Bai's bribes? This Saint Emperor shall let them waste their efforts!
Just at this moment, Young Master Jun had secretly arrived, landing silently in the inn. He did not directly land on the roof, but instead, came to a halt when he was a bit away from the roof.
These were Saint Emperors. Although he was in the concealed form of the Yin Yang Escape, if he landed directly on the roof, he would probably be discovered if it had caused the slightest anomaly in the movement of the air. With how uptight those few Saint Emperors were, they'd notice any slightest movement. If he really got caught by them, it'd be horrible.
It was better to avoid any possible accidents. Better to be safe than sorry!
After putting on his guard, Jun Mo Xie released his spiritual sense without hesitation, tossing it all out!
Young Master Jun allowed his spiritual sense to shoot into the sky, before spreading out midair, silently covering the entire inn. The countless spiritual sense had formed a gigantic net that encompassed the entire inn, leaving nothing out.
This was the unique technique of Jun Mo Xie. In fact, only the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune was capable of creating such a powerful and undetectable spiritual sense. Even Saint Emperors were incapable of noticing it.
The spiritual sense giant net silently locked down. Jun Mo Xie instantly locked onto two rooms. He couldn't help but feel surprised. Could all that Saint Emperors possibly be actually sharing their beds?
He secretly investigated, only to realize that the people from Misty Illusory Manor were having a meeting, and the people from Holy Lands were eavesdropping next door. Young Master Jun almost fainted seeing how sneakily these two strong powers in this world were behaving.
These families had seemingly cooperated for hundreds of years and were finally made to a complete state of distrust by a few tricks by Jun Mo Xie.
This made Jun Mo Xie recall a famous saying: There is no such thing as loyalty, one is only loyal because the bargaining chips for betrayal was not enough! When faced with absolute conflict of interests, even the deepest friendship of hundred years will crumble!
Of course, a big portion of the reason was also attributed to the long-term superficial agreements, although their hearts would think otherwise. Although the matter today also had a great deal in this, but ultimately, the mutual restraining fear of the Holy Lands and Misty Illusory Manor was the real reason that led to this split.
Jun Mo Xie silently floated into one of the rooms. As long as he remained in the supernatural form of the Yin Yang Escape, as long as he didn't do anything too drastic, no one would be able to notice him! Not even Saint Emperors!
The seven Saint Emperors from the Misty Illusory Manor were gathered in one of the rooms, having their meeting while Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu from Holy Land were in the room next door, on the right, eavesdropping. In other words, on the left, were the rooms of the remaining members of Misty Illusory Manor were residing in. Jun Mo Xie counted—six. On the right, only one room was empty.
Aside from these nine rooms, all the people residing in the other rooms were unrelated to the matter, quickly determined with a quick sweep of the spiritual sense.
The room Jun Mo Xie had entered was the room of He Zhi Qiu of the Supreme Golden City.
He Zhi Qiu was quite a person with the character of an elegant scholar. He often sighed: Life is a dream, how many cool autumns have we experienced? Melancholic and wistful, a poetic, depressed personality. Before he had gained his repute as a Saint Emperor, he was known as 'Spirit Xuan of Autumn Colors', then a 'Venerable of Autumn Colors'. But when he became a Saint Emperor, it became 'Saint Emperor who knows Autumn'.
When the golden leaves fluttered in the wind, the world was full of autumn!
Autumn Wind Sword, Autumn Wind Palm, Autumn Wind Leg, the Art of Autumn Wind!
The universe quaked under the autumn wind leg, supernatural beings worried when autumn wind palms came out. The art of autumn wind destroyed the universe, autumn arrived in the world with the whistle of the autumn wind sword!
The entire world grieved with one move, was He Zhi Qiu's signature skill! He had comprehended the skill of the Power of Heaven and Earth: 'Ten Thousand Li Sorrowful Autumn'!
Jun Mo Xie had just entered the room and instantly knew whose room it was. Because as long as it was a room He Zhi Qiu had resided in, there would automatically be a sense of dread and sorrow that will be left behind! As long as someone entered this room, they'd instantly be in low spirits and feel that life was meaningless.
If this person changed a room everyday, then all the inns in the world would need to close down. Which traveller in the world would be willing to stay in this room full of sorrow and grief? What sort of person was this? He was truly a bizarre person!
Go big or go home! Jun Mo Xie casually swiped a relatively long and narrow luggage that He Zhi Qiu had put at the headboard into the Hongjun Pagoda.
There had to be some value to the luggage of a Saint Emperor no matter what. Young Master Jun felt that he was only earning and not making any losses.Although we don't care for these small things with our statuses…
But no matter what, we'll decide after we have gotten a cheap advantage! If there is a ready-made advantage and I don't take it, aren't I an idiot already?!
But it had seemed to be too coincidental. In the instant Jun Mo Xie managed to succeed in his plans, there was a small creaking sound. Jun Mo Xie couldn't help but feel startled. Aren't these two discussing next door? Don't they need to discuss after eavesdropping? I thought I was careful enough, but could I really have still been discovered?! So he concealed his aura and hid into the corner, remaining as still as a rock.
The window opened silently. Jun Mo Xie was amused. This Saint Emperor who knows Autumn is really unconventional, to come in from the window even when entering his own room, truly a bizarre person…
Just as he thought of this, he saw a figure flash across and another person appear noiselessly in the room.
Jun Mo Xie almost cried from surprise. This person was silent and sneaky, behaving like a thief, with a tall and lanky built. It was Misty Illusory Manor's Saint Emperor, Bai Qi Feng!
Bai Qi Feng had a vengeful personality! Although he given Zhan Mu Bai a good beating by a stroke of luck today, and he had barely vented in anger. Then, he was kept on surveillance by two Saint Emperors… Although the two may not necessarily be there monitor them. But Bai Qi Feng interpreted it as they were, especially when Saint Emperor Bai firmly believed that the awkward situation today was orchestrated by these two scoundrels!
So this Saint Emperor Bai wanted to show them some color!
Before the meeting was over, Bai Qi Feng found an excuse and sneaked out. Knowing that He Zhi Qiu and Hai Wu Ya were eavesdropping next door, Bai Qi Feng would naturally go to the place with no one else present. His goal was the thing that Young Master Jun had just swiped into the Hongjun Pagoda: He Zhi Qiu's luggage!
The room was not that big, he had already looked through the room thoroughly with one glance, but he couldn't find what he was looking for. Saint Emperor Bai felt frustrated, mumbling to himself. Goddamnit, don't tell me he even needs to bring his luggage when going next door to eavesdrop? This He Zhi Qiu is too careful? Or maybe he didn't bring his luggage over and left it in the Chen Manor?
Saint Emperor Bai snorted and silently exited after mumbling a couple of sentences.
Jun Mo Xie had just heaved a sigh of relief and was about to start moving, but a flash of figure appeared again. Bai Qi Feng had returned. His face full of glee, holding a huge plate of leftovers in his hand. There were chicken heads, fish bones ,and vegetables. He pulled the covers and poured it all inside. Gleefully, he uttered, "I'll let you f*cking experience the cool autumn!"
Chapter 871: Too Exhilarating, Too Satisfying…
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jun Mo Xie was flabbergasted. This… is… the conduct of a f*cking Saint Emperor? This is more like a ruffian's behavior?
Bai Qi Feng was not willing to give up just like that and began to search around. Jun Mo Xie silently cackled evilly. I was just wondering how I could stir up a conflict from nothing, but you came just at the right time!
He silently shot a swirl of wind from his right hand, which hit the bronze mirror in the room with a crisp bang. Although he did not put a lot of strength in this, but the sound created was extremely clear.
Bai Qi Feng was bending over and checking around under the bed, surprised by the sudden noise. He quickly got up and wanted to escape from the window without taking a glance.
At this timing, a creepy voice came from behind him. "Thinking of leaving after pouring a plate of rubbish? Bai Qi Feng, is this all you are capable of? Don't tell me this is what people from the Misty Illusory Manor are capable of?"
Bai Qi Feng was enraged, turning about sharply and hollering. "I f*cking poured it and that's it… Hm?" He only realized that there was no one behind him, he instantly broke out in cold sweat that seeped through his clothing. He instantly wanted to turn and escape, but it was too late.
With a bang, Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu entered at the same time, one from the door and one from the window. They were just next door, wholeheartedly checking on the situation on the other room, but they were astonished to hear sound from the other side, instantly hurrying over, stopping Bai Qi Feng who was about to escape from the window right in his tracks!
The three people exchanged looked, but had no idea what to do! They were all stunned. Bai Qi Feng was shocked and embarrassed, and Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu were in complete disbelief!
Saint Emperor… being a thief?
An odd, sour odor instantly filled the room. He Zhi Qiu's face was dark and expressionless. But he walked over slowly and pulled the covers of his bed. Instantly, all the water and leftover food was exposed, a complete chicken head rolled off the bed and landed beside Bai Qi Feng's feet, facing the sky.
Next, He Zhi Qiu's eyes darted and his face changed again. The luggage he had placed at his headboard had disappeared!
Turning around, he looked at Bai Qi Feng and laughed coldly. "Good! Good, good, good! What a good Saint Emperor Bai, truly open and forthright! The Misty Illusory Manor is truly full of talents! Not only do they bring leftovers in their visit in the middle of the night, to even have such a great interest in my luggage to keep it on my behalf… Hahaha, Bai Qi Feng, that's great of you, I should thank you!"
Bai Qi Feng's face turned red and was tongue-tied. His right hand was still holding onto the plate of the leftover food. He had forgotten to put it down. Right now, he had not figured out that there was obviously no one else in the room, but why did the bronze mirror on the wall suddenly ring out? And who was it that was speaking just now?
He was feeling gloomy so he thought of pulling a practical joke to vent this anger, but he did not have many ill-intentions. But with the current situation, everything was a mess…
The ruckus here was not small. Cao Guo Feng and the rest instantly concluded their meeting and got over here. Seeing such a situation, they were all stunned!
With Bai Qi Feng's unparalleled strength, he was actually caught red-handed when doing this kind of small mischief? What… What was going on?
And in this instant, Jun Mo Xie slipped away. But of course, he had no intentions of instantly wrapping things up. He went over to Hai Wu Ya's room and swiped Hai Wu Ya's luggage into the Hongjun Pagoda with a whoosh. Then he silently returned to watch the commotion excitedly.
He wouldn't find it too much gaining free advantages like this a day; now there was a huge show like this, it was wonderful! The performers were all Saint Emperors; if he didn't carefully enjoy the show, it'd be a waste…
This culprit, the real thief, had really gone unnoticed. That Saint Emperor Bai had become the scapegoat for everything! Young Master Jun truly had improved greatly in making others his scapegoat!
It was truly this case.
The Saint Emperor Bai was already completely anxious…
"Saint Emperor Cao, can the Misty Illusory Manor give me an explanation for this matter tonight?" He Zhi Qiu said slowly, his face completely dark.
"Um… Cough, Cough… Qi Feng, what is going on? What exactly are you doing?" Cao Guo Feng said in a dignified manner.
"What else, it is just as you see! Everything is right before your eyes, what else is needed to be said? These two from the Holy Lands weren't pleased with us, so was I supposed to just endure and accept it?"
Now that things have already come to this point, Bai Qi Feng stiffened up and said, "Either way, it is just like this, you guys saw it. I did it, so what?"
Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu's face darkened simultaneously.
"Bai Qi Feng, we are all old with age and not some shitty brat. What we do, we need to be responsible for it! As a Saint Emperor, a powerful existence in the world, to do such a ridiculous thing and not feel the least ashamed? To be this rude and unreasonable?" He Zhi Qiu said.
"Ashamed? Rude and unreasonable? Haha, He Zhi Qiu, let me ask you, the two of you work together to spy on us, and even eavesdrop on our conversation, were you ashamed?" Bai Qi Feng scoffed and continued. "When dealing with an honest man, I will naturally use honest and upright methods, but as to dealing with scums like the two of you… Haha, it doesn't need to be said, does it?"
Hai Wu Ya snorted coldly. "Bai Qi Feng, you better make things clear!"
Bai Qi Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "So what if I make things clear? So what if I don't? I must make things clear just because you want me to? Who do you think you are?"
He Zhi Qiu placed his hands behind his back and said coldly. "We did not think who we are and do not think of ourselves as some amazing big-shot. But we are not capable of doing something this despicable. And will not pour a plate of leftovers under someone's blankets! Don't you think, Bai Qi Feng, Saint Emperor Bai?
Bai Qi Feng's face turned purple and he shouted, "He Zhi Qiu! Cut the bullshit! I am really irritated from the sight of you a long time ago! Come at me!"
He Zhi Qiu laughed condescendingly and said, "Saint Emperor Bai, if you wish to fight, sure. But shouldn't you return me my weapon first? Is this how the Misty Illusory Manor fights? Hiding the opponent's weapons first?"
"Weapon? What weapon? Who took your weapon?" Bai Qi Feng jolted, feeling that something was off.
"You really… are shameless…" He Zhi Qiu laughed disdainfully. "So this is how Misty Illusory Manor does things? Forget it, Bai Qi Feng, this old man shall take on your 'Grotesque Peak Thrusting into the Sky, Ten Thousand Rugged Ravine' barehanded!" With a whoosh and a swing of his hand, the bottom of his robes swayed and curled in the air before tucking into his belt.
"Wait!" Bai Qi Feng shouted in a thunderous voice. "I have the courage to accept the consequences of my action. I indeed poured all the leftovers in your bed. But I did not any bullshit weapon of yours! This needs to be made clear!"
He Zhi Qiu was so angry he laughed, his eyes full of coldness. "Great, you didn't take it. Just because you say you didn't take it, so you didn't take it? There was no one else in the room; my luggage was just at the headboard, and there was only Saint Emperor Bai alone in this place. Then my luggage and the weapon in it sprouted legs and ran off. This is what you mean right? Saint Emperor Bai, are you satisfied with my assumption?"
"I, Bai Qi Feng, am someone who dares to do something and owns up to it! He Zhi Qiu, don't you accuse people here! You put the item in Hai Wu Ya's room and turned around to frame me! You are despicable!" Bai Qi Feng's beard trembled, full of grief and indignation. Feeling like he was about to vomit a few mouthful of blood.
"Oh? In that case, follow me!" He Zhi Qiu walked past, all of them entered Hai Wu Ya's room.
He Zhi Qiu's hands were still behind his back. "Do you see clearly? Saint Emperor Bai, there is only Brother Hai's luggage in this room and none of mine. What do you have to say about this?"
Suddenly, Hai Wu Ya cried in shock. "Where is my luggage? Why did my luggage… also disappear!" Hai Wu Ya turned around and looked at all the people from Misty Illusory Manor. "Saint Emperor Cao, must be good to have so many people. Sending out one or two people out to do things like this sneakily. But… does Saint Emperor Cao not feel that is it very despicable to do this? Misty Illusory Manor, truly worthy of the 'Misty' in their name!
Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu's faces were completely black! It was not only their weapons in their luggage, but also the token of thanks from Zhan Mu Bai they had just accepted… Now things had not been accomplished, and the gifts were also gone…
This is too insulting, isn't it?
The two of them were infuriated beyond words…
Cao Guo Feng hollered angrily. "Hai Wu Ya, are the two of you done? Bai Qi Feng only wanted to pull a practical joke earlier; everyone has a friendship of hundreds of years, so what harm is there! But the two of you are so unforgiving and dragged the whole Misty Illusory Manor along in it!"
He glared angrily. "Today, Zhan Mu Bai of the Elusive World of Immortals accused us, and then the Illusory Blood Sea and Supreme Golden City are behaving so unreasonably. Did you guys think that the Misty Illusory Manor is really such an easy pushover? There is a limit to everything! If there are too many matters, it only tires everyone out and it is too late for regrets!"
Hai Wu Ya laughed coldly. "I am not too sure about anything else, but I only know that when Bai Qi Feng entered, our belongings went missing coincidentally. And you people from the Misty Illusory Manor did not lose a single thing. Is merely knowing these facts not enough?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Guo Feng suddenly got startled and ordered, "Go and check on our luggage." The last Saint Emperor in the group replied and left.
Hai Wu Ya laughed jubilantly at the sky and said, "Cao Guo Feng, you are really a good actor. You didn't even forget about acting when when things are at this point! Could it be that your luggage will also vanish? The place that nine Saint Emperors reside in were broken into, and all their belongings were stolen! What bizarre news!"
Cao Guo Feng bit on his lip and did not say anything. After a while, that person returned and shook his head at Cao Guo Feng. Everyone understood what it meant. The Misty Illusory Manor did not lose any of their belongings!
Cao Guo Feng's face darkened. In his heart, the two luggages must have been taken by Bai Qi Feng. But Bai Qi Feng was his own brother, and now when things were in such great tension with the three Holy Lands, how could he punish his own brother in front of the enemy?"
But not only Cao Guo Feng understood it, even He Zhi Qiu and Hai Wu Ya too.
These two Saint Emperors were so angry their hair was standing. You guys were obviously the ones who took it, but now you still pretend to check, then after checking, you dared to say, 'you didn't lose anything'. Aren't you just making a fool out of us?
"Brother Hai, Brother He, I'm afraid there must be some misunderstanding in this matter. No matter how willfully Qi Feng acts, he will not pocket your weapons. Or… can you two think again? Maybe you were afraid that it was not safe and left your luggage back in the Chen Manor?" Cao Guo Feng felt something was amiss the more he thought about it.
Since they had arrived here, the things that had been happening were a little too much, one following after the other. And every single one of them were incomprehensible, truly beyond their expectations. All in all, all these Saint Emperors gathered here have been affected greatly! As if there was an invisible hand controlling all of this.
He Zhi Qiu and Hai Wu Ya exchanged glances and laughed coldly. The two of them did not bother with Cao Guo Feng's words. There was only anger and the desire to battle in their eyes!
"Safe? What safer place can there be in this world aside from by our side! Must we put our weapons far away from us? The Misty Illusory Manor had already done things to this state, and you still want to talk to us about some misunderstanding? Cao Guo Feng, I thought that you were upright and have clear judgement. But right now, the things you are speaking of is worse than a fart! A fart at least can get some response!" Hai Wu Ya shook his head.
"There is no point in talking, only a battle! If we fight in a bustling city like this, we may implicate the innocent. Saint Emperor Cao, please!" A sorrowful and melancholic look like the cool autumn appeared on He Zhi Qiu's face before he flew out!
"A fight it is! Could I possible be afraid of you guys?" Bai Qi Feng hollered and followed suit, as quick as lightning. This night, this Saint Emperor Bai's indignance and heavy shame was about to make him explode. If he couldn't vent it out soon, he may really sustain a internal injury from suppressing it.
Too embarrassing!
A Saint Emperor of his generation, lowering his status to do something shameful like thieving, and being caught red-handed! Bai Qi Feng felt infuriated thinking about it! This clearly was a trap! And a trap that was set specifically targeting at my temper! Throwing all the responsibility of all these shit onto my head! Forcing me to go on the path of grievances! Am I really so easy to bully?
Seeing that these two people had left angrily, Hai Wu Ya scoffed coldly and followed. Cao Guo Feng let out a long sigh and signaled for all the rest of them to follow.
In the emptiness of the sky, Young Master Jun was holding his mouth, laughing so hard that his body was convulsing, almost losing his breath. Too exhilarating! Too satisfying!
