6"The Misty Illusory Manor has spent thousands of years patrolling the world! We've always been fair when it comes to handling matters; could it be that you do not trust me?" The man in yellow pleaded sincerely. "The purpose of Misty Illusory Manor is to restrain the acts of three Holy Lands and to monitor their behavior! Today, they will definitely accept my mediation! I can assure you this!"
7
8Jun Mo Xie couldn't help but instantly understand why there was such a strange discord between three Holy Lands and Misty Illusory Manor. No wonder! With three Holy Lands's great influence and power, how could they just accept being under someone else's supervision?
9
10But this person is a little too naive, isn't he… Answering honestly and truthfully to a question asked on a whim, not even attempting to lie…
11
12Looks like the Misty Illusory Manor was just a simple world, with no rivalry; even if there was, it would be pretty rare. Perhaps, only a pure, simple place as such would be able to produce such a naive individual like this…
13
14Jun Mo Xie was struck with the realization. If that's the case, then dealing with Misty Illusory Manor shouldn't be as difficult as he thought!
15
16"Always fair? Patrolling the world? Then how could you not be aware of the incident that befell the Jun Family ten years ago?" Jun Mo Xie looked at him cynically.
17
18"We have never intervened in small matters of the world, Jun Mo Xie. If we were to interfere in every unjust incident, we wouldn't have enough power to right everything." The man in yellow hesitated for a while before managing a response.
19
20"You have your reasons for making such a statement, and I do understand. Alright, then I'll now let you know! Whatever I'm doing is the follow-up of this 'small matter of the world' you speak of!"
21
22Jun Mo Xie continued. "Everything began because of that incident ten years ago. Since you did not intervene back then, you don't need to intervene now, and even more so, you don't have any reason to interfere! So please hurry on to mind your big matters, and have a safe trip!"
23
24The man in yellow was stunned, and he stood rooted to the ground. Since he appeared in the pugilistic world, as long as he brings up the great ambition of doing something "for the sake of the world", no one would deny him. Afterall, no one wanted to be the villain in history, to oppose humans when they couldn't become the hero of the continent.
25
26Furthermore, with his high and solid Xuan Skills, everything has always been smooth. Regardless of what sort of matter, it was always smooth-sailing. It was only when he met Jun Mo Xie that he learned of the existence of someone who didn't give a flying sh*t.
27
28"But… this is for the sake of the War for Seizing the Heavens that happens in just two years time! A war that concerns the future of mankind!" The man in yellow looked angrily at Jun Mo Xie. "How could you be so senseless toward the greater good?"
29
30"Yes, actually I'm doing this for the War for Seizing the Heavens too! I'd also like to ask, you won't be participating in the War for Seizing the Heavens, will you?"
31
32The man in yellow was taken aback, and snapped irritably. "The Misty Illusory Manor has never and will never participate in the War for Seizing the Heavens!"
33
34"That's great, that's great. You see, I'll definitely be participating in it, but my current martial arts is still too weak; it's highly likely that I'll die if I go. It's not a big deal if I were to die, everyone dies in the end. But it'll affect the overall outcome of the War for Seizing the Heavens. As such, when the world faces imminent threat, the lives of everyone will be in danger…"
35
36Jun Mo Xie mourned dramatically, sighed, and said, "Thus, Mr. Ambassador, for the safety of the continent and the sake of the world, I humbly beg of you to transfer all your martial arts to me via the Guan Ding Technique!"
37
38"I definitely won't disappoint your hopes for me! I'll destroy the grotesque outsiders! For the sake of peace and harmony for the world, I will do my part! What do you think?" Jun Mo Xie spoke with a face full of high hope and holiness, with a genuine sincerity in his attitude.
39
40The man in yellow felt like fainting, and he was almost swept along by Jun Mo Xie's words…
41
42"I do know the Guan Ding Technique, but how could I do so!" The man in yellow replied in realization. "Even if your intentions for partaking in the War for Seizing the Heavens are commendable, if I were to transfer all of my martial arts cultivation to you, wouldn't I disappear into a puff of smoke immediately?"
43
44"For the sake of the War for Seizing the Heavens! For the sake of the world! What's the harm in making this sacrifice!" Jun Mo Xie said harshly. "Since you won't be participating in the War for Seizing the Heavens anyway! Then won't all those splendid Xuan Skills you have go to waste? Won't they just be brought with you into your grave? Isn't that meaningless? Why don't you make your sacrifice right now! Then you can aid my chances of victory in the War for Seizing the Heavens! As such, I believe the entire continent would forever remember your great, selfless sacrifice today! The world would worship your valiant soul forever! You shall become the timeless hero of the world! How's that? Will you still refuse me?"
45
46"No way! No way!" The man in yellow shook his head furiously. "How could I do that! This is just fooling around! There are other measures that can be taken for the War for Seizing the Heavens, not such a method that will harm the interests of others! I've painstakingly cultivated and practiced my whole life; it did not come by easily! Definitely no! No matter how convincing and smooth-talking you are, it is impossible!"
47
48"It's really impossible?" Jun Mo Xie's expression turned serious, despairing as if his heart is broken. "You mean you are willing to become that villain in history? Are you really so senseless for the greater good? Where's your conscience?"
49
50"Definitely not possible!" Perspiration was dripping down from his nose, and he wiped it away pathetically. "I am sorry, but I really cannot be of any help."
51
52Jun Mo Xie sighed, changing his tone, he asked, "Then what is your purpose of coming here?"
53
54"I'm here to convince you few families to put everything on hold temporarily for the sake of the War for Seizing the Heavens, for the sake of the world, for the greater good! This.. This…" The man in yellow was stumped by the words he was saying.
55
56He suddenly realized, that all these reasons and great meanings, were said by this youth just a few moments ago! And he had just outrightly refused this "noble" plea…
57
58Although the other party had made an outrageous request of him, but wasn't it the same of his request to the other party? Honestly making a comparison, if he himself was unable to accept the other party's request, what sort of reason did he to request of the other party then?
59
60He let out a loud sigh and turned to Mei Xue Yan. "Venerable Mei, what are your intentions then?"
61
62"My intentions are her intentions!" Jun Mo Xie said firmly.
63
64"I'm not asking you!" The man in yellow sighed, slightly raising his arm. A cloud of eerie, milky white mist scattered, and Jun Mo Xie suddenly realized that he could no longer move.
65
66Jun Mo Xie was taken by surprise! He was currently a solid level two Venerable; to think that someone was able to restrain him in a second with such ease—what level of Xuan skill would that require? A technique of such a level easily surpassed Mei Xue Yan's World Cage, and by a few folds!
67
68Mei Xue Yan let out a soft sigh before bowing slightly. "This great Saint, it is just as Mo Xie said; his words are as good as mine. Mo Xie is able to make any decisions on my behalf! Regardless of timing or matter! I will always stand by him, even if it's a choice that concerns the War for Seizing the Heavens!"
69
70Saint!
71
72Mei Xue Yan actually addressed this man in yellow as "Great Saint!"
73
74The man in yellow laughed bitterly, obviously dejected. "If that's the case, looks like I was asking for contempt then. I shall take my leave now!" He got up and exploded into a blinding dazzle without a single noise. That light disappeared in a second, so did that yellow clad figure.
75
76Mei Xue Yan couldn't comprehend Jun Mo Xie's actions today, even finding it difficult to accept, but until the end, she still chose to support him without turning back. Especially before others, she would not throw Jun Mo Xie's face.
77
78"Hehe… Little Xue Yan… Such an obedient girl… Let older brother dote on you!"Jun Mo Xie, who had finally regained his freedom, immediately huddled over to Mei Xue Yan ingratiatingly.
79
80Actually, the restraint the man in yellow had casted upon him only had temporary effect. Jun Mo Xie just had to activate the Art of Unlocking Heaven's Fortune to remove the restrains instantly. But even then, Jun Mo Xie had broken out in a cold sweat. Because in that short moment, if the other party had wanted his life, they could've easily killed him ten times over.
81
82So Jun Mo Xie quietly decided in his heart that he had to be more cautious from now on. There were no limit to the universe; there will always be someone stronger.
83
84Then hearing Mei Xue Yan's words, he couldn't help but feel touched. After all, he wasn't very nice in his tone and words earlier. All the people had already been killed anyway, so there was no other issue… that's why he shamelessly sought comfort by being chummy.
85
86Mei Xue Yan let out a sigh of contempt, saying coldly, "Weren't you very heroic just now? Didn't you say: 'A mere woman, stand aside and wait'? Why are you bothering with this woman now? Aren't I the silly one? It's okay if I'm silly, but what if I make the clever Young Master Jun silly with me?"
87
88Jun Mo Xie chuckled and went behind her, skillfully massaging her shoulders, laughing apologetically. "Actually I didn't finish that sentence earlier; I meant to say: 'Aside from Xue Yan, all the other women, get out of the way!' but I was in a rush and missed out many words. It's true, please believe me…."
89
90"Hmph!" Mei Xue Yan turned around to avoid his massage, her face as cold as ice. "Don't bother about me!"
91
92Jun Mo Xie grinned, and suddenly his palms slid down quickly, kneading and copping a feel of her round mounds, before retracting his hands and standing still with a stoic and serious expression.
93
94Mei Xue Yan shivered, face turning completely red. Feeling her entire body going weak, she fell backward.
95
96Jun Mo Xie caught her quickly, but exclaimed, "Aiya… T-this… In a public place like this.. T-this.. it is improper for men and women to have contact… This lady, please get up quickly… I'm a proper and pure person!"
97
98His mouth might have been speaking of his purity, but his limbs were acting otherwise, completely hugging Mei Xue Yan tightly, refusing to let go.
99
100Mei Xue Yan was so embarrassed her entire face was burning red, and she struggled. "Let go of me quickly!… So many people are watching!"
101
102"Oh? That means… if not so many people are watching, I don't have to let go? No problem, I can wait till then!" Jun Mo Xie grinned, playfully blowing into her ear.
103
104Mei Xue Yan felt her entire body going weak again, her cheeks and ears bright red. "You're still not going to let go?!"
105
106"I'm not going to let go!" He blew another warm puff of air at her ear. "Do you still dare be this fierce next time? What? I'm incapable of punishing you?"
107
108"Let go first! Then we talk!" Mei Xue Yan struggled with all her might.
109
110"We talk first! Then I'll let go!" Jun Mo Xie was firm and refused to let go. The warmth of his palms passed through the garments on Mei Xue Yan's waist and seeped into it. On the way to Dongfang Family, Jun Mo Xie had completely mastered a thorough understanding of Mei Xue Yan's "weak points", and he utilized this knowledge fully at this moment, causing this Venerable Mei to be weak and breathless.
111
112Mei Xue Yan was left without a choice, so with a blush, she whispered into his ear, "I..I won't dare to anymore…" Her voice as quiet as a mosquito.
113
114"Good girl!" Jun Mo Xie laughed deviously in satisfaction, only letting her go after he had landed a hit on her buttocks.
115
116With a whoosh, Mei Xue Yan instantly distanced herself away from Jun Mo Xie before turning around, her face still red from embarrassment.
117
118She was met with the sight of all the Xuan Beasts—whom under the command of the Beast Kings—stood at attention with their backs facing them, pretending that they did not see anything. But all their ears were perked up!
119
120"Y-you you you…. You've gotten me killed!" Covering her face, Mei Xue Yan ran toward the Jun Family.
121
122Jun Mo Xie grinned and was about to follow after her when Big Bear huddled over, wearing a smile. "Brother-in-law… are you done?"
123
124"What? Am I done?" Jun Mo Xie was confused for a moment, but then understood what Big Bear was asking. Relishing in the aftertaste of the short encounter earlier, he couldn't help but rub his palms that were still tinged in a pinkish hue. "Yeah, I'm done."
125
126"Amazing!" Big Bear gave a thumbs up. "Brother-in-law, I really admire you! You're truly manly! Even Big Sister is at your mercy! All of us are completely in awe! Really!"
127
128"Of course! That's how men should be! If you can't handle your own wife, how could you be called a man!" Jun Mo Xie added gleefully. "Big Bear, let me tell you; when it comes to handling your wife, you have to be more strict! If she's disobedient.. hmph! Kicks and punches are nothing; most of the time you should use a rod to spank! Spank till they beg for mercy! That's what it means to be masculine!"
129
130"Yes, yes, yes! Brother-in-law is wise! I will definitely remember this teaching!" Big Bear replied humbly, committing this revered teaching for disciplining a wife into his memory.
131
132"Well, you can continue slowly experiencing it! I'll head over there first." Jun Mo Xie left in a hurry.
133
134Of course Jun Mo Xie was anxious after hearing what Jia Qing Yun said about Tian Xiang.
135
136But he knew that being anxious would not help the situation. So much time had already passed; if it really happened, even if he rushed over now, he would still be late. If it hadn't happened by now, then it would not happen!
137
138The only correct solution was to completely settle the affairs here as quickly as possible, then rush over. If he were to mess up now, both sides will be held up, then there will only be loss and no gain!
139
140So regardless of if something happened at Tian Xiang, and what sort of matter, it will have to wait.
141
142Jun Mo Xie firmly believed that with his Grandpa's wits, he would definitely be able to hang in there. Furthermore, there was still all the arrangements he made before he left.
143
144*If there are any mishaps, then I will make this entire world join Grandpa in his grave! What is the War for Seizing the Heavens even worth? It can't even be compared to even a single strand of hair on Grandpa's head! *
145
146*I will only care about those I choose to care about! *
147
148Jun Mo Xie gritted his teeth and made this vow in his heart.

155
156Upon arriving at the area the Jun Family had encircled, Jun Mo Xie was greeted by the sight of the remaining members of the Xiao Family being tied up, with looks of defeat and despair on their faces. Xiao Xing Yun was set aside, his entire body limp, and beside him were a few more bloodied corpses.
157
158Jun Wu Yi, Dongfang Wen Xin, Guan Qing Han, and the rest stood aside, faces full of anguish!
159
160"What's the situation?" Jun Mo Xie walked over quickly.
161
162"The Xiao Family all know they are going to die anyway and refuse to admit who exactly killed your father!" Tears were about to fall from Dongfang Wen Xin's eyes, which had turned red.
163
164"A hundred people and no one wants to explain? They sure have backbones." Kicking up a sword with his foot, he gripped it firmly and was about to go in for the kill when he suddenly recalled something.
165
166On the way back to Tian Xiang from Tian Nan, he had used hypnosis and the Great Spirit Deterrence Technique on Xiao Bu Yu, and Xiao Bu Yu revealed who they were!
167
168Xiao Bu Yu said: "… That was in the great army base, it was so dangerous…. I remember there was Xiao Han, Xiao Liang, Xiao Zhen, Xiao Cheng, Xiao Guang…"
169
170Jun Mo Xie carefully replayed all these memories in his head. He stood still and closed his eyes, letting those unforgettable names pass through his heart slowly…
171
172Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and an intense and imposing killing aura emerged and spread out like angry waves, encompassing all hundred people in it!
173
174This was the frenzied aura of a solid two level Venerable! The number of people who could withstand it in this world could easily be counted! Even Xiao Xing Yun, who had the highest cultivation level in the Xiao Family, was powerless when met with it!
175
176They spent all their lives growing up in the snowy mountains, so they were already used to the cold, but being encompassed in Jun Mo Xie's aura… that killing intent passed right through their clothes, through their skin, into their muscles, deep into their spines, chilling their hearts completely.
177
178"Xiao Liang!" Jun Mo Xie shouted.
179
180The Xiao Family was all giddy from this shout that was hollered while their hearts were gripped by fear.
181
182"Here.. Ah… I-I'm not Xiao Liang, I really am not Xiao Liang…" A middle-aged man spoke, quickly correcting himself midway.
183
184"Yes, yes, yes, you! Someone, grab this fellow out! I want to speak with him." Jun Mo Xie said, clearly pleased. Dongfang Wen Qing flew forward and kicked this person out of the group.
185
186"Next. Who is Xiao Zhen?" Jun Mo Xie beamed at the group of people who were all bundled up. Only that the cold, sharp gleam in his eye was so chilling that it could completely change the countries in the warm south into the cold snowy mountains in an instant.
187
188Everyone continued to sit meekly on the ground, unwilling to answer.
189
190"No one is going to talk? Very united, aren't you! That's good!" Jun Mo Xie walked over to the person closest to him. He gently asked, "Are you Xiao Zhen?"
191
192That man shook his head furiously, avoiding to meet his eyes.
193
194"Raise your head and look at me!" Jun Mo Xie suddenly shouted.
195
196That middle-aged man involuntarily lifted his head, his weary eyes meeting Jun Mo Xie's. As if attracted by a magnet, he couldn't break eye contact. It was like an endless pit had appeared before him, and his heart, mind, and soul were all sucked into it.
197
198"Then who is Xiao Zhen? Can you tell me?" Jun Mo Xie coaxed gently, a captivating light gleamed from his eyes with a bewitching myriad of colours, entering the eyes of this middle-aged man.
199
200"Alright! I'll tell you!" The middle-aged man suddenly had a change in attitude, angrily cursing. "Hmph! This bunch of scums! Murdering the General in White back then! I already found these degenerate son of b*tches irritating way back! How could such a heroic figure die innocently at the hands of such crooks! I cannot accept this!"
201
202All the members of the Xiao Family were stunned, almost as if they were struck by lightning, and didn't know him at all!!
203
204"Good, very good! Well said!" Jun Mo Xie cut the ropes binding him with the tip of his sword.
205
206The middle-aged man got off the ground angrily, continuing furiously. "Especially Xiao Zhen, that f*cking bastard! He is the biggest sore in my eye! A pile of turd! Completely useless but still have the cheek to flirt around? I just feel like vomiting! I want to spit in his face each time I see him!"
207
208The Xiao Family was completely speechless. They looked at him as if he were an alien.
209
210"Yes, I can completely understand how you feel! Now will you please point out, who is Xiao Zhen?" Jun Mo Xie said tenderly.
211
212"Me!" The middle-aged man pointed at his nose, and declared accusingly, angrily and scornfully. "I am Xiao Zhen! That bastard son of a bitch!"
213
214Jun Mo Xie was speechless, and his eyes almost popped out of his sockets. He staggered, almost landing onto the snowy ground!
215
216Goddamnit, I'm too damn lucky? What sort of sorcery is this?
217
218He wanted to watch them bite each other like dogs for entertainment, orchestrating some ultimate betrayal right before they die, but who knew he was so goddamn lucky, to get the right guy with a probability of only one percent!
219
220With this kind of luck I should really go buy the lottery!
221
222"I, Xiao Zhen, is a real bastard! My heart must be blinded by lard to commit something that wicked! I really should be cut into pieces! Implicate my entire clan, die without any descendants; even if I had descendants, let the males become gigolos and the females prostitutes for every single generation forever! This despicable Xiao Zhen should also be banished into the eighteen levels of hell and never be reborned! Even if I'm reborned I must be born as a lowly, lustful breeding pig!"
223
224Xiao Zhen was insulting and scolding himself under the instructions of Jun Mo Xie. Everyone's brows were twitching out of control; no one had ever been able to scold and insult so endlessly the way he does….
225
226And the person he was scolding was himself…
227
228This was just… everyone was completely speechless!
229
230Even Jun Mo Xie, who was the mastermind that started it all, was about to vomit blood… What is this!
231
232"Stop! Stop!" Jun Mo Xie immediately halted the scolding.
233
234"Since you are so righteous, why don't you point out the remaining few who joined you? They've committed such a wicked act, by pointing them out, you are doing the act of heavens! Punishing your own family in the name of righteousness! Naturally your family and the world would sing of your praise! This is a noble cause, and you'll leave your name in history!"
235
236Xiao Zhen actually had a look of pride on his face after hearing these words, as if he really could do something great for the people and was accepting people's praises. He turned around feeling pleased with himself, and looked at his own family clan, an extremely odd expression like that of a cat teasing its prey appearing on his face.
237
238Looking at Xiao Zhen's gaze, a look of despair broke across the faces of everyone in the Xiao Family. Some even looked longingly at the snowy grounds, feeling jealous of those comrades who had been crushed to death; at the very least, they wouldn't have to suffer like this.
239
240The situation was too peculiar. Could Jun Mo Xie really be a demon? To toy with the lives of people, to force family members to turn against each other!
241
242"Jun Mo Xie! You're despicable! To use demonic magic to make Xiao Zhen lose his mind! Make him lose himself and kill his own family! Y-you, you are truly vicious!" Xiao Xing Yun hollered, his face turning purple, looking as though he was going to throw up blood.
243
244After the nine elders had returned to Blizzard Silver City, naturally Xiao Xing Yun would learn of how his brother was made to perform striptease under Jun Mo Xie's hypnosis. He was always wary of it, but seeing how Jun Mo Xie used the same skill again, he couldn't help but feel infuriated and fearful.
245
246"Xiao Xing Yun, if you don't shut your trap, I'll make you do a striptease for everyone to appreciate, just like Xiao Bu Yu!" Jun Mo Xie spat without even turning back.
247
248Xiao Xing Yun might have been extremely infuriated, but upon hearing this, he bit his lips and lowered his head indignantly.
249
250He did dare not take this risk because he knew that Jun Mo Xie was capable of making it happen! He did not fear death, but if he were to die without any dignity in such a humiliating manner, it would be horrifying!
251
252On the other side, Xiao Zhen had already began pointing out the culprits!
253
254"Xiao Cheng! Do you think I can't recognise you just because you hid your face? Even if you turned into ashes, I'll be able to recognise your ass that is worse than a beast's!" Xiao Zhen said coldly, pointing to a skinnier middle-aged man.
255
256That person shivered, raising his head, he gritted his teeth and spat, "Xiao Zhen! You ungrateful, betraying bastard! You have no conscience! Aiding the enemy against your own kin! You.. You will never die peacefully!" He was already pulled out of the crowd by Dongfang Wen Jian as he finished his sentence.
257
258"Hmph! What does that ungrateful bastard Xiao Zhen have to do with me! I'm a good person who is punishing my own kin in the name of righteousness!" Xiao Zhen defended gleefully, pointing at another person. "That's Xiao Guang! What are you hiding for! Where can you hide!"
259
260"This is Xiao Zhong."
261
262"That crippled one there is Xiao Dong!"
263
264…
265
266With Xiao Zhen's identification, a total of nine people had been called out and arranged in a neat row at the front.
267
268"There are still three more, but those three bastards are sure unlucky, because they were crushed to death by rocks earlier when the mountain collapsed. The mastermind was Xiao Han, but because of the previous incident, he was left thoroughly crippled and was kept in the secret chamber, so he is not present here." Xiao Zhen turned around, looking extremely pleased with his own noble act.
269
270The other Xiao Family members cursed in their hearts. How were they unlucky? Clearly they were too lucky! To die in such a swift and clean manner. All those who had been identified were definitely going to be tormented…
271
272"Is it just the few of you? Did we miss anyone?" Jun Mo Xie frowned.

279
280"There were two seniors who supervised the operation: Xiao Zhuo and Xiao You—the two there. But they didn't do anything as the ten of us were enough; they only tagged along just in case, but everything had proceeded smoothly, so they weren't put into use." Xiao Zhen pointed at the two old men who had turned deathly pale and shivering. They had just let out a sigh of relief, thinking that they were safe!
281
282"Very good! I want to know how it all happened… especially… my father. How did he die?! He… whose hand did he die in!" Jun Mo Xie felt a wave of fury that stemmed from the grievance in his heart as he looked upon the bunch of people before him.
283
284Ever since he integrated into this world and blended into this family, he completely accepted that he was Jun Mo Xie; every time he remembered the names—Jun Wu Hui, Jun Wu Meng, Jun Mo You, Jun Mo Chou—and thought of his closest kins that he had never met, his heart ached with a pain that was indescribable.
285
286Yes, a sharp pain!
287
288A legendary general, a heroic man of his time, to die tragically in the hands of mere crooks! Wronged for ten whole years, only to get an explanation right now!
289
290He protected hundreds and thousands of Tian Xiang civilians. After he met with harm, the people were distraught and angered, but almost no one sought revenge for him!
291
292He was no longer around, and his family clan had begun to decline, becoming weaker by the day and turning into the target of all the enemies. While everyone was adding insult to injury, no one stood to speak up for their justice!
293
294When the Dongfang family tried to seek revenge, almost the entire pugilistic world just watched from the sides. They just wanted to see if karma was real! Everyone knew the indignation of the Jun Family, but they all chose to just look on from the sides!
295
296When the Dongfang Family's influence was greatly reduced, and they were forced out of the pugilistic world and forced to make an oath that was impossible to break, still no one chose to stand up for them!
297
298What was the "morality and justice" in the pugilistic world was all about?!
299
300Jun Mo Xie felt his heart turn cold.
301
302When Jun Wu Hui was around, Tian Xiang was at peace with his protection, and everyone took it for granted. But after he was gone and those people experienced the taste of being invaded, humiliated, then would they speak gratefully: "Who would dare behave like this if the General in White was still around!"
303
304Every time he recall such things, Jun Mo Xie felt resentful, felt livid!
305
306Even beasts knew how to repay kindness, but humans, ironically, did not!
307
308Pathetic, truly pathetic.
309
310Regardless of whether heroes created history, or history created heroes, only when the heroes left the world did people remember their good! Was death the only thing that would make people remember the heroes who had given everything for them? And merely remember them!
311
312Jun Mo Xie had often questioned his heart: his father, Jun Wu Hui, sacrificed his life to protect so many people, but was it truly worth it? What rights did those ingrates have to be protected? The soldiers were bleeding and risking their lives on the frontlines to protect dignity and peace, but the people were still drinking away, fooling around, gambling away! Those who were corrupted continued in their acts, and those who were unfaithful continued to be unfaithful!
313
314They continued to chase fame and status, still leading their buffudled existence.
315
316Even the commoners, leading their regular lives happily—who would think of those soldiers who were miles away, fighting stained in blood, struggling in despair? Even when the last drop of blood was shed from their body, their eyes were looking at the home they could never return to!
317
318Home—the place those soldiers dreamed of daily, the motivation for them to keep on battling—and also the place that abandoned them as they were fighting with their lives!
319
320Looking at the eleven members of the Xiao Family before him, Jun Mo Xie's eyes were filled with rage, a fury, that could not be quelled!
321
322After he made that statement, the Xiao Family people lowered their heads, even Xiao Zhen was in deep thought, trying with much difficulty to recall the scenario back then.
323
324It wasn't certain whether too much time had passed, making the incident hard to recall, or they had simply never taken a 'small matter' like killing the General in White to heart. No one answered.
325
326"Say it!" Jun Mo Xie thundered.
327
328"That year…" Xiao Zhen frowned, clearly trying very hard to recall. "… I recall that we had informed Great Elder and followed Xiao Han down the mountains. We traveled for almost a month before we finally reached Tian Guan Lin… There, the two large troops were battling and security was very tight. Looking at the tents that occupied such a vast land, we all felt powerless. How easy could it be to kill the General with all these troops? We were all Sky Xuan, and the two seniors were only at their peak of Sky Xuan; even if a Spirit Xuan had come along, it might still have been impossible. But Xiao Han claimed that he had already made preparations, and there was no risk to take…
329
330"That night, Xiao Han had left first, and we had no idea what he went to do—only after a day and a night did he return with a group of men in black following him. In the hand of one man in black was a Golden Arrow Token! That was the token that allowed one to enter in and out of Tian Xiang military base without any obstruction, on the same level of an imperial decree! That person said it was a fake, but at that moment, all of us felt it—it was clearly the real thing. If that was a fake, with the strict control of the General in White, how could we infiltrate the base?! If it was a fake, then we wouldn't even dare to take the risk…
331
332"Then this man in black took out many clothes for us to change into and pose as his followers, bringing us into the military camp. The entire process was so smooth that it was unbelievable! As long as that Golden Arrow Token flashed, there was no obstruction at all! No one ran any checks, and we made our way straight to the Commander's tent! This left us baffled, for even if that Golden Arrow Token was the real thing, it was too effective! It was only after that did we learn that the person clad in black had made multiple trips here two months prior with the Golden Arrow Token. To the troops of Tian Xiang, both the token and person were familiar faces, so they had no suspicion. Or else, how would this group of twenty pass through the military base!
333
334Jun Mo Xie slowly clenched his fists. He could totally guess that it was Xiao Han who had conspired with these people before turning to the snowy mountains for somemorebackup. Which also goes to say that those men in black were members of the Blood Sword Hall, which meant that those imperial troops he killed earlier had already planned to kill his father beforehand! Even if Xiao Han did not make a move, they would still have done it! It was just that there was a higher chances of success to have Xiao Han and the rest do it, with no fear of pursuit from the Jun Family!
335
336To have plotted for such a long time! To use his frequent visits to make the troops lower their guard!
337
338Jun Mo Xie also knew where the magically effective Golden Arrow Token came from!
339
340Because only one person in the world could hand out a token like that: The Emperor of Tian Xiang, Yang Huai Yu!
341
342Only a token that he had handed out personally would not raise any suspicion from the Tian Xiang army!
343
344To the point that no one dared to reveal the whereabouts of that Golden Arrow Token afterward!
345
346But the tragedy was all hidden in this Golden Arrow Token!
347
348"… when we entered the commander's tent, there were many people discussing how to counter the enemies. Jun Wu Hui was still clad in his armour, donned in white, sitting on the commander's seat. On his right was Jun Wu Meng. Below were fifteen other generals sitting on two sides. When we entered, the first to notice us was Jun Wu Meng.
349
350"That time, Jun Wu Meng said, 'Old Meng, why did you change a group of people this time? You sure have quite a lot of underlings.' "
351
352"Many other generals who were present started laughing, clearly familiar with this man in black. But Jun Wu Hui was very calm; he kept observing us, but did not say a word. After a while, he said, 'Since the imperial envoy is here, let's stop here for today. You also go; I have something important to talk to the imperial envoy about.' That last line was directed at Jun Wu Meng. Though he had not mentioned any names, it seemed as if Jun Wu Hui had already noticed that we came with ill-intents. Because while he sounded calm and peaceful in his tone, his face had changed a little… thinking back, perhaps he was hoping that we did not recognise Jun Wu Meng and let him leave like that… but we had came to target the two of them; how could we not recognise Jun Wu Meng? Even if we couldn't recognise him, that Meng fella sure could've!"
353
354"Then all the other generals headed out, but Jun Wu Meng remained behind, looking at his elder brother wordlessly. He ignored us, but his expression to change to that of grief and anger. After everyone had left, Jun Wu Meng turned around and stared at us, saying 'You're from the Xiao Family'?
355
356"This was when we realized that Jun Wu Hui had noticed something was amiss the moment we had entered. But against us, the regular generals stood no chance, so it would be useless if we were to engage in battle. And those generals held important roles in the military; if they met mishap, all the millions of Tian Xiang soldiers would become without a leader, so he chased all of them out.
357
358"Plus we had already infiltrated the commander's tent; it was useless even if he intended to trap us within and battle. Furthermore, we had the Golden Arrow Token; if he tried to activate the troops, that would be the same as trying to start a rebellion! They stood no chance of survival now that they were surrounded by so many experts, so why would he implicate the other soldiers? So he could only request to protect the lives of those under him first. Only Jun Wu Meng noticed Jun Wu Hui's face and the sentence did not mention his name and realized that something was amiss, so he also refused to leave…"
359
360Xiao Zhen had only finished that sentence when a cracking of knuckles could be heard. It was Jun Wu Yi clenching his fists, tears welling up in his eyes.
361
362Dongfang Wen Xin felt herself swaying, but she still forced herself to stand upright. She bit her lips so they started to bleed.
363
364Jun Mo Xie's expression did not change. If I had entered the wrong body and became Jun Wu Hui in that moment, what would I do?

371
372Obviously, there was no way to win them in a fight. Since the enemy was already in his tent, there was nowhere else to run. If he panicked at that moment, perhaps none of his comrades in the tent would have been able to escape…
373
374If Jun Mo Xie was in that situation, he had a few options. One, he would hint in his words for those outside to surround, attack, and die with the enemy. But in that scenario, he would still die first. Two, he would still find a way to escape first, knowing clearly that it would be impossible. But the difference in strength was still too great; it would be pointless, and he would still die…
375
376If it were him, he would still put up a fight till his death! Despite knowing that there would be no chance of leaving alive, he would still take a shot at it! This was his personality!
377
378Jun Wu Hui was clearly different from him in terms of his personality.
379
380No matter what, the Jun Wu Hui at that point in time definitely had no chance of surviving.
381
382But even knowing the hopeless situation he was in, the General in White's first thought was not of himself, but of the safety of his comrades! So his first decision was to chase all these comrades out! Out of this doomed place! Leaving himself alone to battle against Death! He used his own connectedness to exchange for the safety of the comrades under him!
383
384Perhaps the only regret he had was that his second brother was not able to leave.
385
386"Xiao Han stood out, gritting his teeth. He spat: 'Jun Wu Hui, do you recognise me?' Jun Wu Hui smiled and replied, 'I believe you are Master Xiao Han of the Xiao Family in Blizzard Silver City? Though we have never met, but I can guess that it is you.' Then he stood up, still smiling and continued. 'You're here to kill me, right? Did you think that by killing me, my third brother would be tormented for the rest of his life? Xiao Han, you thought so, didn't you?'…"
387
388Xiao Zhen continued, clearly impressed by Jun Wu Hui in his tone. "Then Xiao Han said, 'You are a talent of this world; if I had a choice, I would not wish to kill you too. But who made you the brother Jun Wu Yi held in such high respect? There are two people in this world who can completely destroy Jun Wu Yi with their deaths! One is Han Yan Yao, but I cannot kill her. The other person is you! And I happen to have the ability to do so, so why would I not? So please, Great General Jun, please don't blame me; if you wish to blame someone, you can only blame that good third brother of yours!'
389
390"Jun Wu Hui said, 'Why would I blame Jun Wu Yi? He is honest and true to his feelings; where is the wrong in that? The one who is wrong is you! Even if you have killed every single one of us, my third brother will not break down! That is my third brother—a man down to his very bones! No matter what sort of situation he meets, he will face them bravely! He will never break down! I watched him grow up, and his indomitable personality is what I admire most about him! Xiao Han, I'm afraid you have miscalculated.' "
391
392Jun Wu Yi could no longer hold it in. Voice raspy, he cried out "big brother…." and tears streamed down his face.
393
394"Xiao Han had replied, 'Whether he breaks down or not, I will know once you are dead. A pity you are destined not to be able to see it.' Jun Wu Hui smiled and said, 'If that's the case, there's no harm for you to wait and see.' After that, he sighed and said, 'So many experts! Looks like you definitely have to kill me…' We had enough fighting prowess at this point, and the seniors had the cultivation level of a peak Sky Xuan. Most of us in the twelve had reached the beginning stage of a Sky Xuan, while the remaining experts were all peak Earth Xuan level…
395
396"Jun Wu Hui looked at the colors of our Xuan Qi, and smiling, he said, 'We brothers have always been prepared to die since the day we stepped onto the battleground, but what we expected was to die on the frontlines, not in our own commander's tent. But we Jun brothers will never die in the hands of other people.' Xiao Han said, 'Jun Wu Hui, you are a legend that I admire, so I can make an exception and give you some time to write one last letter to your family members. The Xiao Family won't be bothered by the revenge of a mere worldly family.'
397
398"Jun Wu Hui laughed upon hearing this, 'Of course Blizzard Silver City won't be bothered by the Jun Family, but by giving me a chance to leave a letter, were you planning to use my suicide note to land a blow on my third brother and family? But did you know, I, Jun Wu Hui have always admired and cared for my third brother; as long as I am alive, I will not let anyone use my name to hurt him. Even if I am dead, I will not let myself be used. So thank you for your generosity, but I do not need it.'
399
400"Xiao Han laughed coldly and said, 'Do you still believe that you are that General in White who commands millions of troops even until now? Not only will you die, but I'll even make that precious third brother of yours wish for death!' Jun Wu Hui replied calmly, 'That's your problem. But the men of the Jun Family will never ever give in. The Jun Family ancestral teaching: 'Having balls does not make you a man! It is the incomparably indomitable spirit which does!' I have always thought it was a little crude to be said out loud, but today, I want to say it loudly: 'F*ck it'!' He started smiling pleasantly after saying this!
401
402"After saying this, he turned around to look at his second brother, Jun Wu Meng, and smiling, he said, 'Wu Meng, looks like we really have to go this time. We brothers have spent all our lives fighting at the borders, and we barely get a couple of days to reunite in a year; to think that we will be leaving together at the end…' "
403
404"Jun Wu Meng laughed loudly and said, 'Brother, when we've reached Hell, I will still stand before you and be your shield without change. Just as our ancestors said: 'F*ck it!' Father has Sister-in-law and Third Brother to take care of him, I rest assured! I shall take my leave first!' After saying that, Jun Wu Meng sat on the chair, drew his sword, and cut his throat. Even when he died, there was not a slightest look of regret on his face.
405
406"Jun Wu Hui chuckled and said to us, 'Please wait for a while; it won't take too long. I want to help my brother tidy himself up first. This boy is always in a mess, being able to command thousands of troop with ease but still unable to groom himself… always giving me a headache…' Then he carefully tidied Jun Wu Hui's body, tying up his belt, making him sit upright, and then gently wiped Jun Wu Meng's face. He had done all this very quickly, as if he had done it countless of times before…
407
408"Then he turned around, and standing before the seat of the commander, he said, 'My second brother has already went in for the battle on my behalf, so I should join him soon. Going in too deep in battle all alone is not a good thing.' After that, he made four weird gestures with his hands and his expression was also quite odd. Then, he drew his sword and stabbed it right through his heart, dying immediately."
409
410Aside from an uncontrollable sobbing, the surroundings were completely silent.
411
412"What weird gesture did he make!" Dongfang Wen Xin asked quickly, her face streaked by tears, but there was no concealment of her hope.
413
414Xiao Zhen looked at her oddly and mimicked the gesture Jun Wu Hui did before he died. "Like this, Jun Wu Hui clenched his left fist and hammered his heart lightly three times, then kept it there. His right hand held the sword, piercing through his left hand and into his heart, nailing it in place! But before he died, his expression was that of utmost gentleness."
415
416"Wu Hui…" Dongfang Wen Xin staggered as she cried out bitterly, "Even to the end, you were still thinking of the four of us…" She trembled all over, completely overwhelmed by distraught, fainting all over a sudden. Guan Qing Han, who was prepared by her side, caught her quickly.
417
418Everyone understood instantly.
419
420So that's how it is…
421
422Jun Wu Hui did not mention his wife and children even at his end because he feared that Xiao Han and the rest would be reminded to go after them to eradicate them completely! But those four gestures embodied all the lingering attachments this General in White had!
423
424Left hand clenched into a fist and hammering lightly on his heart: Wen Xin, Mo You, Mo Chou!
425
426Be it Wen Xin, Mo You, or Mo Chou, they were all in his heart. So he only lightly hammered his heart thrice to represent three people: Wen Xin, Mo You, Mo Chou! He still hoped that his wife and children would remain untroubled!
427
428The sword was Mo Xie!
429
430Piercing that sword through his fist and heart, nailing it down, was the greatest dying wish of the General in White: To nail all the love and emotions he had toward his wife and three sons into his heart and bring it along with him!
431
432He did not say it, but this peerless hero wordlessly dedicated the last bit of time in his life to his wife and sons!
433
434Everyone was speechless, and they glared angrily at all the members of the Xiao Family. The main culprits! They single handedly created this tragedy!
435
436They must die!
437
438Jun Wu Yi felt his heart hurt as if it were being crushed. He could only feel that his heart was going to burst; he gasped for air, but it was useless—all the pain, agony and anguish had filled his entire chest entirely. There was no room left for anything else. The tears in his eyes fell uncontrollably and he trembled all over.
439
440Never belittle a man who cried; everyone has to endure sadness at some point in one's life.
441
442In the blurriness from his tears, Jun Wu Yi felt like his big brother was standing right before him, that powerful and determined voice echoing: Why would I blame Jun Wu Yi? He is honest and true to his feelings; where is the wrong in that? The one who is wrong is you! Even if you have killed every single one of us, my third brother will not break down! That is my third brother—a man down to his very bones!
443
444I, Jun Wu Hui have always admired and cared for my third brother. As long as I am alive, I will not let anyone use my name to hurt him; even if I am dead, I will not let myself be used.
445
446"Big Brother…. It's all my fault… I've caused you harm!" Jun Wu Yi shouted to the heavens, his mind going out of control. A mouthful of blood came out his throat, and he collapsed onto the ground.
447
448Even as he landed on the floor, the guilt in his heart still kept multiplying as he cried out loudly. In this moment, he felt clearly that even if he died instantly, it wouldn't be sufficient to repay his Big Brother's efforts toward him.
449
450"Father has Sister-in-law and Third Brother to take care of him; I rest assured!" This was the last sentence his second brother said before he died. Jun Wu Yi hammered his fists into the snow, his throat so tight he couldn't say a single word.
451
452In that haziness, it seemed as if Big Brother Jun Wu Hui and Second Brother Jun Wu Meng stood before him, clad in their familiar armours, looking at him with great concern. Jun Wu Hui was distraught, reaching his hands out to thin air, he hollered, "Big Brother… Second Brother… Take me with you… I have sinned! I am guilty! I should die! I am the cause of all this! I am the main culprit of it all!
453
454"Let me die! Let me die! Heavens! Are you blind?! Why did you not bring this main culprit along! I beg you, Heavens! Open your eyes! Let me die! I only beg of you to let my Big Brother and Second Brother to be revived…" Jun Wu Yi shouted, blood spraying out of his mouth and scattering all over the floor.
455
456The merciless cold winds continued to blow, and everyone was chilled to their bones. The skies were already dark and heavy snow began to fall.
457
458Dongfang Wen Qing sighed and hit Jun Wu Yi on the back of his neck, knocking him out, before signalling for someone to come and take care of him. Dongfang Wen Qing knew that if Jun Wu Yi continued like this, perhaps the bodies of the Jun Family would join those who were buried under the snow.
459
460Jun Mo Xie felt a cold sensation on his cheeks. Raising his hand to touch his skin, his fingers met with tears he did not realize were falling.
461
462"We were about to leave when Jun Wu Hui's eight bodyguards suddenly came in. Turned out they noticed something was odd, so they came in to check! When the battle began, they didn't last long. But it was enough to alert the guards outside. We fought our way out; while there were many troops, there were no experts amongst them. Plus we had the Golden Arrow Token, so we had some sort of control over the army. Furthermore, that man in black had planted many spies in the base, so those outside didn't know what happened inside. Everything was in a mess, so we managed to escape easily…" Xiao Zhen finished the entire story.
463
464"Continue to speak! My Third Uncle Jun Wu Yi, my older brother, Jun Mo You, my second brother Jun Mo You! How did you do it! Continue to spill it! I want every single detail!"
465
466"We…" Xiao Zhen continued to describe all the scary scenarios of how they did it, and finally, Dongfang Wen Dao couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Kill all these scums! Why are we keeping them alive! To allow them to continue to do harm upon others? Kill all of them!"
467
468"Kill? Of course we will kill them." Jun Mo Xie said coldly. "But we must wait for Mother and Third Uncle to wake up and everyone else to arrive before we get our revenge and let the world know! If we are to kill them right now, it's too unfair to too many people!"
469
470"Who else is coming?" Dongfang Wen Dao asked in confusion. Just as he finished asking, he understood.
471
472From the direction of Blizzard Silver City, a group of people clad in white were rushing over. In the strong blizzard winds, they were walking slowly, almost as if they were shackled by heavy weights. The person in front, though looking weak and feeble, was Han Yan Yao!
473
474Behind her was an old man with white hair and bread, a middle-aged scribe, and a man with a bulky built. Behind that was Lady Han Zhan Meng and the people of the Han Family of the Blizzard Silver City!
475
476Looking at the middle-aged scribe, Dongfang Wen Qing's eyes narrowed. "Yun Bie Chen!"
477

481
482
483
484Jun Mo Xie was startled and looked over quickly. Yun Bie Chen was one of the three witnesses alongside with Han Feng Xue and Li Jue Tian, who made the Dongfang Family take oath!
485
486To think that he would reappear at a crucial time like this when the Jun Family was taking revenge!
487
488Mei Xue Yan also looked over quickly. The object of her focus was not Yun Bie Chen, but the bulky man beside him! That person jumped and and raised his head, and meeting Mei Xue Yan's cold gaze, his large body began to shiver and tremble, panic and guilt evident in his eyes.
489
490Amongst the Xuan Beasts, the Pengs suddenly released a loud cry, stirring the clouds in the sky. But before this cry could reach its climax, Mei Xue Yan was enraged. Narrowing her eyes, her imposing aura rushed over and subdued all the Pengs mercilessly.
491
492With a boom, none of the Pengs dared to make a single noise. They were completely oppressed by this powerful, kingly aura to the point they trembled on the ground with their wings spread out and pressed into the snow, as if they were having spasms.
493
494"What are you shouting for? Since the day he left Tian Fa, he is no longer your King! And will never be!" Mei Xue Yan said coldly, facing the Pengs. "Today, he is just a complete traitor! Even if we have the same enemy and our paths cross, we will be enemies! What are you cheering for!"
495
496"Big Boss… You…." That bearded bulky man cried, running over, but he froze before all the Xuan Beasts, because he no longer existed in those eyes of his past comrades.
497
498Mei Xue Yan continued to look into the far away distance, as if she didn't notice there was someone before her; Long Crane had a odd expression, lowering his head; Big Big Bear turned his face away; Earth Cracker, Monkey King, and the rest all turned away after spitting with a Pui.
499
500All these simple-minded Beast Kings only knew that their Second Brother, the Peng King, had left the Tian Fa Forest, leaving the responsibilities he should have carried and betraying their ancestral teachings. That made him the ultimate traitor! He was no longer their brother!
501
502Furthermore, becoming a mount of a human as a Beast King of Tian Fa! A humiliation to the entirety of Tian Fa!
503
504After listening to Mei Xue Yan's words, all the beasts no longer had that excitement and joy from earlier, and their eyes filled with rage. Especially the few Peng Kings who had finally cultivated a form, looking at the King of all Pengs of the past before them, they only felt resentment, disdain, and some melancholy.
505
506"Tian Fa will forever be Tian Fa! Tian Fa's high ranked Xuan Beasts can befriend humans and even become good brothers, but never will become a servant of humans! If a friend is in trouble, you can render your help in the name of brotherhood! But after it is over, you are still a Xuan Beast of Tian Fa! This rule applies even if you are a Beast King! What we of Tian Fa have always pursued is to be of equal standing to humans! Not become their slaves and be beneath them! It was we who had contributed the most to the War for Seizing the Heavens! To prove that Xuan Beasts are not weaker than humans! That we are even stronger than them!"
507
508This was a saying left behind by one of the ancestors of Tian Fa from god knows how long ago. But this saying had become a golden rule for the Xuan Beasts that had always been suffering from discrimination. It was etched deeply in the hearts of every generation of Xuan Beasts.
509
510So for millions of years, from past till present, Tian Fa Xuan Beasts becoming a mount for humans was extremely rare. Or you could even say that there were none! But until Mei Xue Yan's generation, an outlier appeared! Tian Fa's Peng King blatantly broke this distinct taboo!
511
512Not only did this Peng King leave Tian Fa on his own, he became the mount of the human—greatest master Yun Bie Chen!
513
514So Mei Xue Yan definitely could not accept this! Such a great humiliating affair to happen in the time she was ruling Tian Fa! And when she went into closed-door practice after being hurt, Tian Fa was under the temporary charge of the Peng King! But he tossed that responsibility down and went to become a mount for a human!
515
516None of the beasts of Tian Fa could accept that when Mei Xue Yan was healing behind closed-doors, the Peng King left Tian Fa. The entire Tian Fa Forest entered its weakest, dimmest period since getting its reputation. Many high leveled Xuan Beasts met accidents during this period and they even lost some Beast Kings!
517
518Tian Fa almost only had a mere reputation left!
519
520This was something that no Tian Fa Xuan Beasts could understand or forgive!
521
522No matter the reason!
523
524The Peng King stood trembling before this iron-wall of Xuan Beasts, facing those comrades who had gone through life and death together; he clearly felt a great distinction, a discrimination that was indescribable. Those were brothers who were as close as his own kins, but they looked scornfully at him like they were shooting daggers. Even those nine level peak flying Xuan Beasts who had yet to cultivate a form had their feathers ruffled, glaring at him with animosity!
525
526He knew clearly that that was their battle mode!
527
528Looking at the sight before him, he knew clearly that he could longer return to this group!
529
530He could never return! Never!
531
532Peng King's face was gray, and stumbling backward, his burly body looked helpless and withered like leaves in the wind.
533
534The people from Blizzard Silver City finally came closer.
535
536The first person was Han Yan Yao, carrying four altars in her arms.
537
538Since she left the sword peak, she worked day and night to make these four altars and worshipped them. No matter if the Jun Family had won or lost today's battle, she vowed to carry these four altars with her!
539
540If Jun Family had unfortunately lost, she would hug these four altars and die with Jun Wu Yi.
541
542If the Jun Family emerged victorious, then she would offer the Xiao Family's blood to these four altars!
543
544To pay tribute to those unyielding brave souls!
545
546There were only two outcomes, but she made both into a single one!
547
548"Father! Mother!" Han Yan Meng shouted cheerfully, running over into Xue Shuang Qing's hug. Xue Shuang Qing hugged her youngest daughter, who she hasn't seen in a long time, crying tears of happiness!
549
550"Good girl, my Meng'er… My precious baby, I finally see you…" Xue Shuang Qing hugged her daughter, carefully scrutinizing her face, trying to see if her daughter had suffered during the time she spent wandering outside.
551
552For the sake of this missing daughter, Xue Shuang Qing had her heart broken, longing for her return for the past few months. Now that her daughter finally returned safely, naturally she needed to take a good look and pamper her thoroughly!
553
554But unexpectedly, this youngest daughter did not lose any weight nor turn tan, but seemed to have put on some weight! There was a healthy, rosy shade on the cheeks on her fair face, and in a turn of an eye, there was even a tinge of bashfulness that had never existed…
555
556Bashfulness? Xue Shuang Qing was surprised!
557
558Just at this moment, Han Yan Meng whispered into her mother's ear. "Mother… Look, that fellow is Jun Mo Xie… Heheh… I've been staying in his home the past few months… This guy is really annoying; he is the nephew of Jun Wu Yi, so he should be calling me Aunt, but he cheated me into making a bet with him, calling me his mistress… S-so annoying…"
559
560Xue Shuang Qing looked at her daughter whining. While she might have been uttering words of unhappiness, her eyes were clearly delighted and even a little embarrassed. Her happiness that brimmed from her heart couldn't be concealed. Xue Shuang Qing couldn't help sigh helplessly…
561
562The Jun Family…. are they really an endless pit?…. Do I really have to allow both my daughters into it? And this fellow is Jun Wu Yi's nephew…
563
564On the other hand, Dongfang Wen Xin and Jun Wu Yi were saved by Jun Mo Xie using his spirit energy, but they still couldn't help but cry. Jun Wu Yi's face was cold again, but those two streaks of tears on his face showed no sign of stopping.
565
566Han Yan Yao slowly walked over carrying the altars, sorrow on her face. Her long hair flew in the blowing winds. Her lips trembled, wanting to say something, but she couldn't mutter a word. She stood watching Dongfang Wen Xin who was suffering in her anguish, then fell onto her knees.
567
568"Sister-in-law!… I have let you down… I have let all of you down…. I am the one who should've died! Why am I still alive… I've implicated those who are innocent, causing those who shouldn't have died to die. I'm the main cause of all this evil but I'm still living freely in this world… I… I'm the one who should die…"
569
570Dongfang Wen Xin sighed, and suppressing her whimpers, she wiped her tears away and said, "Younger sister… get up quickly… how can this be your fault? Were you not a victim as well? You have suffered… all these years…."
571
572Dongfang Wen Xin's voice was trembling, and just as she had finished her sentence, both of them hugged each other tightly and started to wail loudly.
573
574After a long while, under the coaxing of others, did they finally let go of each other. Han Yan Yao was pulled up by Dongfang Wen Xin, they stood both side by side. Jun Wu Yi's eyes had never left Han Yan Yao since her arrival, and at this instance, their eyes finally met.
575
576It was such a brief contact, but they quickly looked elsewhere! Tears welled up in their eyes. It was in that brief contact that they felt each other's sorrow and suffering, and that unexplainable, heavy sense of guilt!
577
578At that instance, both their hearts began to ache like it was going to burst and tear!
579
580Ten whole years of separation, ten whole years of bone-cutting yearning. Ten entire years were enough to chance the seas, and what less of people? This couple that was deeply in love finally met again after thousands of dangerous encounters and torment. They finally reached this moment where they were reunited! But they didn't even dare to look each other in the eye…

586
587
588Because the other party had so much sorrow, they couldn't bear to look! And they were more fearful that if they took another glance, had their gazes met again, it would intertwine quickly, tightly, and never be separated again…
589
590Jun Wu Yi walked forward, but did his best to not look at Han Yan Yao. But Han Yan Yao's eyes were glued to his face, unblinking, crystal-like tears slowly welling up in her eyes.
591
592Jun Wu Yi reached out his shaky hands, retrieving the four altars into his hands. His entire body trembled as if he were experiencing a spasm, and hugging the altars, he suddenly pressed them onto his face.
593
594"Big Brother, Second Brother, my two nephews, the bloody vengeance of the Jun Family… today… we finally get our revenge…" He choked out, and rubbing his face against those altars, he felt like he had returned to back when he was just a child, that warm, cozy feeling of being carried in the arms of his brothers.
595
596Suddenly, the snowy ground began to move silently, and an offering table emerged.
597
598It was Jun Mo Xie utilizing his Xuan skills, using the power of earth to create an offering table. He placed all the four altars neatly on it.
599
600"Let all those from the Xiao Family kneel here! Worshiping honorable spirits, kowtow nine times!" Jun Mo Xie commanded harshly.
601
602In an instant, all those in the Dongfang Family set out, each person grabbing a Xiao Family member by their heads, harshly pressing their heads down and making them kowtow!
603
604Some people struggled angrily, but were slapped harshly, their teeth and blood flying out, and were still pressed down. Every single one of them kowtowed at least nine times.
605
606"Xiao Xing Yun, you are the eldest Elder of the Xiao Family, and the first person of the family. You have committed heinous acts, committed wicked crimes, and killed heroes. Your sins are unforgivable! You need to know that the entire Xiao Family is ruined due to you, and they will all die without descendants because of you and perish from the world! Today, I will let you watch all the descendants of the Xiao Family die before your eyes—every single one of them—never to make a comeback forever!"
607
608Jun Mo Xie glared at him, and raising his hand, he commanded, "Behead every single member of the Xiao Family at the altar table! Leave the bastard Xiao Xing Yun last! I want to drown him using the blood of his family!"
609
610"Hold it!" Yun Bie Chen shouted, turning to Jun Mo Xie he said. "Young Third Master Jun, while the Xiao Family and Jun Family have a feud, now that Xiao Family is completely incapable of anything with no power to put up any resistance, you can just kill them swiftly. Why must you use such a cruel method of taking their lives!"
611
612"Yun Bie Chen, hahaha, I have been searching for you for a long time!" Jun Mo Xie chuckled. "The head of the mysterious Eight Great Masters, Yun Bie Chen, hahaha. You came out of the mountain on behalf of the Xiao Family to witness the Dongfang Family make that oath. Now, the oath has been broken—did you witness it as well?"
613
614Yun Bie Chen took a deep breath and said, "Yes, the collapse of the snow-covered sword peak and the driving out of all Xuan Beasts from Tian Fa! I have witnessed it! Naturally the Dongfang Family can return, but if they are to continue killing brazenly-"
615
616"Since the oath is broken, you still have objections? Do you have the right to speak here?" Jun Mo Xie looked at him coldly, cutting him off.
617
618"It is not that I have objections, but I only hope that the Jun Family can be merciful; I am not trying to stop the Jun Family from getting revenge—I only hope that you can let them die swiftly!" Yun Bie Chen sighed and continued. "Everyone has parents, why do you-"
619
620"If you have no intentions to stop the Jun Family getting their revenge then all is good! Yun Bie Chen, when you witnessed the failure of Jun Family getting their revenge back then and forced the Dongfang Family to make that impossible oath, don't think you can sit yourself out of this! You will also have to answer to us and give us a reason! So what right do you have to play the good guy in front of me!"
621
622Jun Mo Xie laughed sinisterly. "The only thing you can do now is to be a witness! Witness the Jun Family getting their revenge successfully! Witness it from beginning to end!"
623
624Pausing a while, he added in a low voice, "Spend your whole life playing the good person and you will be bullied, humiliated, and trampled upon for your entire life! If you cannot return a tooth for a tooth, everyone will try to sit on your heads! Only by using the most vicious, most cruel methods will make people remember you in fear! I want the world to know that this person is not to be messed with! If you have offended him—even if you are dead—you will still need to pay a great price!"
625
626Jun Mo Xie laughed. "No wonder so many people in this world are willing to be ruffians! Be the bad guys! Because there is a great advantage here: if you are evil enough, no one dares to offend you! Yun Bie Chen, don't you think that follows logic?"
627
628Yun Bie Chen raised his brows and pondered for a long time before letting out a sigh.
629
630"In this world, if a good person makes a mistake, everyone will criticize him—even those who are not involved will try to get involved. Why? Because everyone knows, that that person is a good person; even if you scold him and hit him, he will not do anything. He won't fight back because if he fights back, then he is no longer a good person and will be subjected to everyone's condemnation and revilement! On the other hand, even if a bad person commits the gravest act, everyone will only look on, but will not intervene. Because they are waiting for justice to punish him! If someone tries to do it, there will be a 'good hearted person' reminding them: this person is a baddie, he dares to commit all sorts of offense! You cannot afford to offend him because if you do, your family will be implicated! He is capable of doing so! In any case, there's the judiciary; why would you bother with this?! And as such, this person who wanted to intervene will be dissuaded thanks to the words of that 'good-hearted person'. And just like this, as long as the judiciary doesn't arrive, or this baddie can escape from the eyes of justice, then he can lead a more carefree life than anyone else!"
631
632Jun Mo Xie said all this in a sarcastic manner, then laughed loudly, "So I don't want to be a good person! And I won't be so extravagant to use kindness to treat resentment! I will use blood to repay blood! I'd rather have everyone in the world fear me than to have them respect me! This is me, Jun Mo Xie!"
633
634Finishing this line, he shouted, "Start the execution! Offering tribute to the brave spirits! Whoever who tries to make another remark, kill them instantly! I don't care who it is! Just kill them!"
635
636On his command, blood flew everywhere.
637
638Beheaded heads were placed on the offering table.
639
640This was definitely a gruesome scene, but to the Jun Family and the Dongfang Family, it was a pleasing view!
641
642They were finally getting revenge!
643
644After Xiao Xing Yun was drowned in the blood, all members of the Jun Family kneeled onto the ground and kowtowed thrice to the altars of Jun Wu Hui and the rest.
645
646Heavy snow flew and the wind howled across the skies.
647
648Dongfang Wen Xin and Jun Wu Yi knelt. Their eyes were fixated on the four altars, and they did not move for a long time.
649
650"Wu Hui… My husband. Marrying you, I had no regrets in my life, you know? Although we were ill-fated and could only be husband and wife for ten years, but those ten years are eternal to me! It was the most precious, happy ten years in my entire life! Sixteen years and eight months… Wu Hui… I hope you can be more patient; once I have finished arranging for Mo Xie and watch him establish his own family, I will join you… Be husband and wife again in our next life!"
651
652Dongfang Wen Xin looked at Jun Wu Hui's altar dazedly, speaking in her heart. "That day, to console me, he told me perhaps he could revive you all, and I pretended to have believed him, but I know that that is impossible… A person dying is the same as a flame going out; how could he be revived? Even if Mo Xie is has brilliant and magical abilities to revive you, but so many comrades had gone with you; how could you bear to leave them behind? If you had really revived, you would not accept it…
653
654"But the failure of a mother I am had to let Mo Xie believe that I believed him! That day when I regained consciousness, I knew, if I had left like that… our child.. he… he will break down… Mo Xie… our son… he has suffered… Under that selfish, untamable exterior hides a fragile heart… Even Mo You and Mo Chou were under our care and protection until they were sixteen… Only Mo Xie… He was only six years old when he lost his father, mother… his father passing on and his mother going into a deep sleep… We really owe our children too much… I have to see Mo Xie establish his family, see his offsprings grow up before I can rest assured to go and join you below… because I must take good care of our last son…"
655
656"Mo You, Mo Chou, mother misses the both of you too… I really do… Mo Chou has been cheeky from young; Mo You, you have to take good care of your brother and stop him from getting into trouble. Be filial to your father and uncle, and every year, spring, summer, autumn, winter, Mother will make new clothes for you, cook your favorite dishes and send them over to you… If you miss Mother, do come into my dreams and reunite with me there… let Mother have a good look at you both… Mother really wishes to see you guys being playful again… Both of you will always be my sons in my heart, those two butt-naked brats… If there is a next life, I will still want to be your mother and make up to you all that you have lost in this life…"
657
658Dongfang Wen Xin continued kneeling quietly, speaking quietly in her heart with her departed husband and sons.
659
660Heavy snow descended on her body, accumulating into a thin layer of white, but she did not move an inch, allowing that pensive grief to pass through the gates of hell, conveying all her longing and emotions to her husband and sons who were sleeping eternally.
661
662Jun Wu Yi knelt straight, like a statue, and beside him was Han Yan Yao. Even though this knot had been undone, he still did not know how to face it.
663
664Looking at his widowed sister-in-law and the altars of two generations of Jun Family, his heart felt like it was being ripped apart mercilessly… What should I do? What exactly should I do?! Heavens! Please tell me; what should I do?!
665
666Han Yan Yao, who was kneeling beside him, was currently experiencing the same emotion!
667
668The two of them were at a loss for what to do.

675
676After a long time, Dongfang Wen Xin got up slowly. Wiping away the tears on her face, she said smiling, "Everyone, get up. I thank everyone on behalf of my husband, second uncle, and sons; it's cold and chilly, so be careful not to catch a cold! Wu Yi, lead everyone to get up. We've come to achieve two things; our revenge has been completed, so now it is time to see to your wedding with Sister-in-law! You can go and inform Master Han; bring Yan Yao back to hold that much delayed wedding ceremony at the Jun Family! From now on, both of you must love and care for each other, taking care of your children and growing old together! This is what Father-in-law and I, as well as Wu Hui, Wu Meng would hope to see!"
677
678Jun Wu Yi jumped, raising his head quickly. "Sister-in-law! I…"
679
680"This is my order and I represent the Jun Family right now, which also represents your Big Brother! Do you have any objections? Do you dare to disobey?"
681
682Dongfang Wen Xin did not give him the chance to speak, continuing. "Your Big Brother's greatest wish in his life was to watch you grow up into a splendid hero, establish your own family, and be happy! Did you wish to not let his soul rest in peace even in Heaven?"
683
684Jun Wu Yi was stunned. He remained stunned for a while, before harshly kowtowing to the floor. He whimpered, "Big Brother…" and suddenly started crying sorrowfully on the floor again.
685
686Han Yan Yao crawled forward on her knees and hugged Dongfang Wen Xin's legs, crying loudly, "Sister-in-law…. Thank you… Thank you…. I'm unworthy…"
687
688Dongfang Wen Xin smiled tenderly and helped her up, wiping her tears away gently, as she chided, "Silly girl, since you already call me Sister-in-law, why do you still need to thank me? Furthermore, it was your Big Brother's greatest wish to let the two of you be happy together. Which part of you is unworthy? As long as you don't mind this ignorant third brother of mine…"
689
690Han Yan Yao continued to shed tears and was unable to speak from all her emotions so she kept nodding her head. Accepting Dongfang Wen Xin's hug, she began to cry loudly.
691
692…
693
694At this moment, Jun Mo Xie was already standing in front of Han Zhan Meng. And beside Master Han was the previous Lord of Blizzard Silver City, Han Feng Xue, as well as Xue Shang Qing and Yun Bie Chen!
695
696Mei Xue Yan drifted over and stood behind Jun Mo Xie.
697
698"The Han Family is not completely free from the responsibility of the Xiao Family's evil-doings! The matter with the Dongfang Family was completed with the aid of the three great masters, which was extremely unfair! So, as I had mentioned previously, for the sake of Third Uncle and Third Aunt, we are unwilling to become enemies with Blizzard Silver City. But I still demand an elucidation. I wonder if Master Han has carefully considered how he will answer to us? If you could return us this justice?"
699
700Jun Mo Xie said straightforwardly.
701
702"Blizzard Silver City… Haha… What Blizzard Silver City is there now?" Han Feng Xue's face was full of sorrow and dispirit, looking at the rubbles of what was left of Blizzard Silver City. He zoned out for a while before turning back to look at Jun Mo Xie. "Since Han Zhan Meng returned that day, he conveyed Third Young Master Jun's request to me. I thought for very long, and the Han Family does indeed owe the Jun Family justice, so naturally we have to give you an answer!"
703
704Han Feng Xue's white beard flew in the wind, but his voice was heavy. "Blizzard Silver City has been passed on for generations, but in this generation, Zhan Meng has no sons and only two daughters, so it can be said that we have no descendants. But Blizzard Silver City cannot perish like this! So I've decided, after Yan Yao and Jun Wu Yi got married, their offspring shall be the ones to continue Blizzard Silver City! That way, Blizzard Silver City has someone to inherit it and we will also be answering to the Jun Family! Will you be satisfied with this arrangement?"
705
706Han Feng Xue had a tragic expression as he said this.
707
708No matter how powerful the Jun Family was or how tyrannical they were, Blizzard Silver City will always have "Han" as their surname! This was a fact that no one could snatch away by force! No matter how pathetic the city was now, it was still be their own family establishment!
709
710But by allowing Jun Wu Yi's son to inherit it, it meant that they were acceding to Blizzard Silver becoming part of the Jun Family instead! That means the entire Blizzard Silver City was handed over to the Jun Family on a silver platter!
711
712Such a grand and heavy way to provide an answer was beyond Jun Mo Xie's expectations!
713
714Jun Mo Xie had not expected anything like this, and the matter involves Jun Wu Yi; as a junior, no matter how powerful, he could not make the decision impulsively. So he quickly went to discuss with Dongfang Wen Xin and the rest.
715
716Upon hearing this, Dongfang Wen Xin quickly exchanged a couple of opinions with Jun Wu Yi before making a final decision.
717
718"Old Master Han is so righteous; the Jun Family is extremely grateful and honoured. I had discussed with Third Brother earlier and we've decided to accept your well wishes! After Wu Yi and Yan Yao are married, if they have one son, he shall take on "Jun" as his surname and inherit Blizzard Silver City! But if there are two sons, the second son shall take "Han" as his surname and inherit Blizzard Silver City! I wonder what Old Master Han thinks of this arrangement?"
719
720Dongfang Wen Xin smiled and said.
721
722Han Feng Xue opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Dongfang Wen Xin with joy. "Is it for real?!"
723
724He was a hero of his time, but his greatest regret not having any male grandson who could inherit Blizzard Silver City. In the heart of this old man, as precious as his granddaughter was, she would eventually have to be married off and become part of someone else's family.
725
726Even handing the inheritance of Blizzard Silver City to the Jun Family was an act of indignance. But this ensured the future of Blizzard Silver City; after all, after Han Yan Yao married Jun Wu Yi, half of the blood in their child would still be of the Han Family.
727
728He couldn't help but feel elated upon hearing this suggestion of Dongfang Wen Xin. With his Xuan cultivation, he shouldn't be so agitated. Yet hearing the good news of having a descendant was enough to make him lose his composure.
729
730The older a person gets, the more descendants he hoped to have!
731
732This might be an illness that all the old people in the world have…
733
734"Of course it is true! We are already related by marriage, and either way it is Wu Yi and Yan Yao's child. Does the surname 'Jun' or 'Han' even matter? How big a difference could it make?" Dongfang Wen Xin said, wearing a smile.
735
736Dongfang Wen Xin was being too generous in the way she had said this. Unless you married into your wife's family, the child always followed the father's surname. There was no logic of following the mother's surname, regardless of how powerful and influential the mother's family background was.
737
738Making a decision was giving the Han Family a lot of face! Besides, it was to make Han Yan Yao feel slightly better… and this would help to further resolve the grudge between the two families.
739
740Han Feng Xue was pleasantly surprised. "Not bad! Not bad!" he said, rubbing his hands, clearly a little too excited. He coaxed, "Yao'er, today you get what you have always wished for; you have to work hard and hurry up to give me a few great-grandsons! Hahahaha!"
741
742Everyone burst into laughter and Han Yan Yao turned red instantly. She lowered her head in embarrassment. In front of so many people… How could this grandfather not have some sense of privacy when he speaks… She stomped her feet into the snow and refused to raise her head again…
743
744Just as she was feeling angry and embarrassed, she felt a hesitant, but big, warm hand holding on hers.
745
746Han Yan Yao snuck a glance at Jun Wu Yi, who was trying to hold his composure standing beside her. She secretly intertwined her trembling fingers with his, holding tightly, never letting go…
747
748Jun Wu Yi jumped, a familiar, yet foreign warmth that had never existed in ten whole years rushing in and filling up his heart.
749
750Seeing that everything had finally come to an end, Jun Mo Xie wanted to rush back to Tian Xiang. Just as he was about to speak, his entire body shook!
751
752Jun Mo Xie felt a wave of giddiness. The Hongjun Pagoda, which had gone to sleep, suddenly began to turn again with a om sound at an incredible speed! It seemed to be looking forward to something…
753
754There was another strong attractive force that pulled his body toward Han Feng Xue; if Jun Mo Xie tried to go the other way, he would instantly be hit by a massive headache!
755
756What was happening? Hongjun Pagoda was forcefully tugging his body over there, leaving no room for negotiation! A self-initiated act like this by the Hongjun Pagoda had never happened before!
757
758The fck! Didn't you overeat? Why would you come out to cause trouble now? This is a crucial time! Time is of essence here!*
759
760Brother Hong, I have something urgent that I need to see to back at Tian Xiang; the situation there is very critical! Can't you just sleep peacefully? Why must you pull me along like this! Jun Mo Xie pleaded in his heart.
761
762But that Hongjun Pagoda didn't seem bothered and continued to tug him over stubbornly.
763
764Goddamnit! Didn't you overeat? Just be good and digest it! Eat, drink and sleep; isn't that the best? Why must you restrict me? The situation at Tian Xiang is extremely urgent and critical! If I am a step too late, people will die! Jun Mo Xie was angered already.
765
766Hongjun Pagoda turned even more rapidly, and that odd attraction force became stronger and stronger! Jun Mo Xie resisted it, standing rooted to the ground so he could go back to Tian Xiang immediately! But the more he resisted, the stronger the force, to the point he started to turn pale!
767
768Jun Mo Xie sighed in resignation and walked closer to Han Feng Xue. Since we need to go near, then let's go as near as possible. So Jun Mo Xie got so near that he and Han Feng Xue were standing almost cheek to cheek.
769
770Hongjun Pagoda became even more excited, and an emotion of urgent desire was reflected in Jun Mo Xie's heart.
771
772It was the same feeling the Soul Replenishing Jade gave off! And! An unknown, powerful energy! Jun Mo Xie could distinctly feel it! Since this aura was a little weak from Han Feng Xue, it could be felt that it was not one that he was naturally equipped with. Such a unique aura was the result of staying in a place full of Soul Replenishing Jade for a long time!
773

775
776Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Feng Ling Tian Xia
777
778
779
780The place where Han Feng Xue had stayed in for a long time seemed to have a lot of something that seemed like the Soul Replenishing Jade. And it was much bigger and more than that few pieces of Soul Replenishing Jade the Xiao Family had combined together.
781
782After wiping out the entire Xiao Family, Jun Mo Xie had already secretly retrieved the Soul Replenishing Jade from Xiao Xing Yun's possesion.
783
784At this moment, not only was the Hongjun Pagoda reacting, but even the Soul Replenishing Jade in Jun Mo Xie's possession began to turn warm for no reason.
785
786Han Feng Xue stumbled back in shock, looking at this young fellow who appeared in his face suddenly in surprise. Upon seeing a greedy, somewhat lecherous look upon the lad's face, he frowned and said warily, "What do you want?"
787
788Doesn't this fellow already have a few soulmates? Why is he looking at this me like this? I may not look exactly old, but I'm a solid elderly from head to toe! What are his intentions?!
789
790"I did not have any intentions; I was merely admiring the superb cultivation that Old Master Han has." Jun Mo Xie smiled. Suffering the Hongjun Pagoda's blow of waves in his head, using all his power to prevent himself from losing self-control.
791
792He was very surprised; what sort of magical object would make a heavenly treasure like the Hongjun Pagoda so thirsty with desire? This was too peculiar! Was there some other mysterious secret in this big snowy mountains?
793
794Suddenly, a memory from the day he infiltrated the underground of Blizzard Silver City flashed across his mind. The area where he had encountered resistance when he tried to pass through it… could it be there? Jun Mo Xie unconsciously started to grin evilly, stroking his chin.
795
796"What's there to admire? You are at a higher cultivation level than me currently! Are you praising me or insulting me?" Han Feng Xue was even more wary now. Does this fellow know how to talk? Does anyone even praise others the way you do? The more he looked, the more he felt like this fellow was harboring some sort of ill intent!
797
798"Did Blizzard Silver City disappear? Isn't it still there? Haha, isn't it easy to just rebuild it!" Jun Mo Xie laughed, rubbing his chin.
799
800Han Feng Xue pretended that he did not heard a single thing, taking it as if this fellow had just released a fart! Even if it's a fart, you could still hear the sound and smell its scent! But this guy's words are just pure sarcasm!
801
802It had taken four generations to develop to the scale Blizzard Silver City was at! How could rebuilding it be something easy? This fellow actually said it would be easy?!
803
804Perhaps it's more easy for you to choke on your own sarcasm!
805
806Han Feng Xue was extremely displeased. If not for the sake that they had just improved relationships with the Jun Family, making it inconvenient to take actions, he really wanted to discipline this person on the spot!
807
808Umm… Although it looks like I can't win him… But this fellow looks like he perhaps might not dare to fight back?!
809
810"Actually, an incident like Blizzard Silver City collapsing is truly the will of the Heavens! Just as the saying goes, 'The Heavens are watching the acts of men'. An incident of such a massive magnitude—if the Heavens are toying with us, which human being can do so?" Jun Mo Xie made another remark that had caused the Old Master Han's face to turn even darker.
811
812The old man was fuming, and lowering his voice, he said, "Heaven's will? What bullsh*t! Although I do not know what sort of method you used to cause the Sword Peak to collapse, if the Sword Peak had not collapsed, would the entire Blizzard Silver City be implicated and turned into a ruined city?! Obviously you were the main culprit behind all this, but you dare to talk to me about Heaven's will? What Heaven's toying? Acting innocent like this, perhaps I should pay a visit to the Jun Family and demand an explanation from your grandpa!"
813
814Didn't you drive us crazy when you demanded an explanation from the Han Family? Now that we are all in-laws, I'll go and find your grandpa! I may not be able to discipline you, but there must be someone else who can!
815
816"Do simmer down Old Master Han; I had no ill-intentions. Listen me out, you'll understand." Jun Mo Xie put on an expression of peddler and said enticingly, "Look, the entire Blizzard Silver City has always been under both the Han and Xiao Family. But the Xiao Family heartlessly rebelled; although they have been wiped out, Blizzard Silver City is filled with their remnants. Probably Heaven was annoyed, so he simply unleashed an earthquake, allowing the Blizzard Silver City which was full of the heinous aura of the Xiao Family to collapse! Which is a good thing, for new things cannot come if the old ones don't go! When I put it this way, you'll definitely understand right?"
817
818Han Feng Xue let out a heavy sigh of contempt and looked away while crossing his arms, completely pretending that Jun Mo Xie was just air and does not exist. Otherwise, Han Feng Xue was sure that he would be driven to his death by this youth!
819
820Understand? What the fck did I understand! What sort of bullsht is this! What filled with the heinous aura of the Xiao Family? Does Blizzard Silver City only have the aura of the Xiao Family? It definitely wasn't lacking in the aura of the Han Family! Going by your logic, now that the the entire Xiao Family has perished and everyone of them are dead, aren't you just cursing the entire Han Family to perish as well?!
821
822I'm a magnanimous person; I can't be bothered to be angry with you! As expected, your mouth is incapable of saying anything decent….
823
824On the other hand, Xue Shuang Qing, Dongfang Wen Xin, and Jun Wu Yi had come to an agreement. The more Xue Shuang Qing looked at Jun Wu Yi, the more pleased and satisfied she felt. But her stare had managed to make this blood general turn entirely red in the face from embarrassment.
825
826The more the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more interested she became. Now that all the matters had been resolved, Xue Shuang Qing's mood returned to a pleasant state. Who cares if the Blizzard Silver City is gone; it's not like it can't be rebuilt… The most important thing is: The Xiao Family no longer exists! That is the most delightful matter! So of course it is time to consider about her daughter's happiness…
827
828Xue Shuang Qing secretly nudged Han Zhan Meng's arm and whispered, "No wonder Yao'er fancied him; this Jun Wu Yi is really so much better than that Xiao Han. Be it in terms of appearance or character, manners and demeanor, he is much better than Xiao Han by many folds! And his Xuan skills are not ordinary, but I am unable to determine its depths. Truly a rare find between heaven and earth…"
829
830Han Zhan Meng nodded silently; from the look in his eyes, it was clear that he was very satisfied—he had finally rounded up one of his biggest worries. There were no longer any obstacle in his eldest daughter's marriage and she could finally get what she wanted. Even the traitorous Xiao Family had been eradicated, although Blizzard Silver City had collapsed along with the Xiao Family… but all in all, it was still a good thing!
831
832At least they did not have to worry about the past, and this son-in-law looked very reliable…
833
834"This… Lady Jun…" Although Xue Shuang Qing was an elder to Dongfang Wen Xin in terms of seniority, but Jun Wu Yi and Han Yan Yao had yet to wed, so she was a little embarrassed to address her directly as sister-in-law. What more was that they were not far apart in terms of their age, and her youngest daughter seemed to be interested in her son… This.. this was too complicated to be put into words.
835
836So Xue Shuang Qing didn't know what form of address should she use and only felt as if her brain was tied up into a knot. After racking her brains for a long time, she decided to address her as "Lady Jun"…
837
838"What can I do for Lady Han?" Dongfang Wen Xin also felt the same conflict over what to address Xue Shuang Qing as, so she followed the same way Xue Shuang Qing had addressed her.
839
840"I.. have a matter…" Xue Shuang Qing looked at her youngest daughter and let out a sigh of resignation, before continuing. "There's a matter that I'm afraid I need Lady Jun to help make a decision."
841
842Looking at her expression, Dongfang Wen Xin more or less could guess what it was about. "Do speak, Lady Han."
843
844Xue Shuang Qing first sighed before speaking. "Actually these are just small matters regarding the children, but they've really given me an headache all these years due to the poor decision made by us parents—Yao'er had suffered for ten whole years. I have also finally became more clear-minded, and I feel like I should leave the happiness of my daughters to themselves. As parents, we are really powerless; as long as they feel blissful, that is greater than anything…. Better than worrying ceaselessly day and night but remaining unable to do anything about it, we might as well let go and let it be done according to their wishes…"
845
846"Yes, one will never understand the woe of being a parent until they've become one themselves… These children have really cost us much effort…"
847
848Dongfang Wen Xin nodded in agreement, letting out a deep sigh before continuing with much satisfaction. "Luckily our Mo Xie has always been an honest boy; he was very obedient and well-behaved from young, always obeying what he was told, saving me a lot of worry…"
849
850Suddenly Jun Wu Yi who has beside let out a pfft. He turned away quickly with an odd expression, as if he had suffered an internal injury from suppressing himself.
851
852What? Honest? Well-behaved? Obedient? Save you from worrying? It's not that these words cannot be said, but… how could such beautiful words be used to describe a brat like Jun Mo Xie? If you had known what sort of nonsense your son has been doing all these years, I can promise that your face will turn green from anger! I really must pity all the parents in the world; for the sake of praising their own child, they are not afraid to say anything! Even a gentle and gracious woman like sister-in-law knows how to talk blindly now; this is really not easy…
853
854"Isn't that the case! As long as the children are obedient, it'll be much easier for us parents. I'm really envious of you, to have such a capable son who is so obedient…" Xue Shuang Qing was lying when she had made this sentence. Side-eyeing Jun Mo Xie, who behaved as if he was the top of the world and carried an air of a ruffian and villainy… no matter how she looked, she couldn't see where the "honest, obedient, well-behaved" son Dongfang Wen Xin spoke of was…
855
856It seems more like this fellow carries an air of untamable from head to toe… whatever, which mother wouldn't pick better things to say when praising her son…
857
858"Um, today, Yao'er finally got her wish and has found a reliable partner for the rest of her life. The two of us have finally put down a big big worry of ours…" Xue Shuang Qing continued haltingly. "But this youngest daughter of mine gives me a greater headache…
859
860"Meng'er is sharp and intelligent, well-behaved, adored by everyone, and beautiful like a fairy. Why would she give you an headache?" Dongfang Wen Xin pretended to look surprised. Hmph, my son is now a precious treasure. If your daughter wants a share of it, you'll have to be the one to come over to ask. Either way, I won't be the one to initiate it! Dongfang Wen Xin was extremely firm.

865
866
867
868We already have three at home; if you're not proactive enough, it's your loss… We're not in a rush!
869
870"When children grow up, they will always look for someone they fancy. Lady Jun, that son of yours…" Xue Shuang Qing coughed awkwardly. "Has also given you trouble in this area, hasn't he? Also when they grow up, they'll have to marry…."
871
872"This son of mine has always saved me from worrying from he was young; even now, he still does. Especially when it comes to affairs concerning marriage, he would handle them on his own… I am more worried that it might be getting too much… The one beside Mo Xie, Tian Fa's Venerable Mei, is my first daughter-in-law; this one beside me, Qing Han, is also my daughter-in-law, they've already consummated… We still have Dugu Family's daughter, Dugu Xiao Yi back at home. Haha, this son of mine; he is not too shabby in terms of his looks and he is extremely honest. He don't know how to not be too showy, so he couldn't help but attract the attention of ladies. These three girls are the official wives that I am aware of, but I'm not too sure if he has anymore. I've already reprimanded him numerous times on this matter. Always makes my chest hurt from anger…"
873
874Dongfang Wen Xin may sound as if she were begrudging, but an extremely proud expression sat upon her face. Anyone could tell that this mother was showing off. Who couldn't tell from her honored tone…
875
876Of course a mother would feel proud that her son was so charismatic! Or not was she supposed to look forward to no one to asking about her son?
877
878On the side, Jun Wu Yi has clearly reached the borders of breaking down anytime. Sister-in-law is too amazing; although what you said is not too far from the truth, but considering what sort of reputation Mo Xie had back in Tian Xiang… this… has gone too far off…
879
880Xue Shuang Qing felt the corner of her mouth twitch. Are you lamenting about your son? Why does it sound like you are so proud of it? Taking a look at Mei Xue Yan and Qing Han, they both don't seem lesser than my daughter in anyway… and there is one more at home… and the possibility that there may be more than these three?!
881
882What should she do? There were already three! And their statuses were not low—just take Venerable Mei, for example. She alone was someone Blizzard Silver City could not touch! Did she really have to marry her daughter to become his concubine? That was not acceptable!
883
884Just as Xue Shang Qing was deep in her thoughts, Dongfang Wen Xin continued, "So with so many daughter-in-laws, it's really troubling because it's a matter concerning who is the official first wife. Everyone comes from reputable families and they also hold high statuses. Especially Mei Yan, who is an overlord of a generation… Regardless, there's no logic for making anyone of them the mistress…."
885
886"Yes, yes, that's very true." Xue Shuang Qing agreed immediately.
887
888"I've been so vexed that some hair has turned grey. But I finally thought of a solution."
889
890Dongfang Wen Xin lowered her voice mysteriously, "That is, to not make any difference in terms of their status or position. Everyone shall all be sisters in terms of their age.. Isn't that great? Like this, the distinction is already made and everyone becomes closer, so everything else becomes easier to settle. There would be no problem even if there are more wives. Furthermore, I'm not trying to praise myself here, but I am not like one of those cynical mother-in-laws; I will always find a way to please them, right? As parents, it's really tiring for us, even if the least worrisome child has something that makes you worry. But what would that little beast Mo Xie even know of the woes of being a mother…"
891
892Dongfang Wen Xin had lowered her voice, so Xue Shuang Qing also followed suit and hushed her voice. It seemed like if this was the case, then it shouldn't really matter… Furthermore the Jun Family was now a super-family, and clearly Yan Meng had deep rooted feelings for Jun Mo Xie. Why would she become the villain here? Besides, if it ended up like Han Yao Yao, it would just be a dead loss!
893
894Coughing to clear her throat, she spoke, "This.. Lady Jun, what do you think of my younger daughter?" Xue Shuang Qing finally went straight to the point after going in circles. "Is she worthy of your son?"
895
896"Um? This… Naturally I do adore Meng'er, but… If Yao'er is to marry Wu Yi, Wu Yi is Mo Xie's blood uncle… the seniority will be all messed up…" Dongfang Wen Xin pretended to be shocked…
897
898"What problem can seniority pose? The pugilistic world is full of messed up seniorities….." Xue Shuang Qing laughed nervously.
899
900"If that's the case, then you can leave this matter to me. We have to let them have their wishes! Ai, I'm really too soft-hearted… I cannot bear to see the children suffer…" Dongfang Wen Xin was confident. They're already calling each other "little wife", "mistress" already; how could she have misunderstood?
901
902Furthermore, the more daughter-in-laws, the more grandchildren! It would be best of each of them could give birth to ten or more… Taking a sideway glance at Han Yan Meng, Dongfang Wen Xin thought that the girl seemed to have a body that was likely to conceive a son…
903
904"That'll be ideal!" Xue Shuang Qing was elated.
905
906"You can rest assured when Meng'er comes to my place. Haha, in-law, I'm pretty good at taking care of children." Dongfang Wen Xin said warmly, directly addressing Xue Shuang Qing as 'in-law' already…
907
908Jun Wu Yi completely broke down. Sister-in-law, you daresay you are good at taking care of children?
909
910Xue Shuang Qing, on the other hand, nodded her head continuously, replying more passionately and addressing the other party as 'in-law' as well.
911
912I marry the older sister, my nephew marries the younger sister… so do I call Mo Xie brother-in-law? Or should he call me brother-in-law? We will both have to address Xue Shuang Qing as mother-in-law…. but if we have children…
913
914Third Master Jun felt like his brain was not enough to process all of this. He should just faint…
915
916Dongfang Wen Xin was already plotting in her head; if she wanted to accomplish this matter, there shouldn't be any issue with Jun Mo Xie and Dugu Xiao Yi as well. She was still clueless about everything and can be easily pacified with a few pieces of sweets…. The most important matter to settle was Guan Qing Han and Mei Xue Yan. Those two girls were very obedient toward this mother-in-law and had a pretty good relationship with Little Meng'er. And there's also Jun Wu Yi and Han Yan Yao; it shouldn't be too big of a problem….
917
918Hehe… Dongfang Wen Xin relaxed after sorting out these matters in her heart, even fantasizing about how to get a few more grandsons…
919
920Thus, with no one else's knowledge, these two mothers had made such a big decision! And it was a big decision that concerned the happiness of both parties!
921
922Someone clearly was still out of the loop, completely unaware that the little wife he had made for himself from a prank had now become reality…
923
924Jun Mo Xie was currently talking to Han Feng Xue in a extremely friendly manner, clearly trying to get chummy much like the stickiness of a chewing gum. This left Han Feng Xue at a loss as to what to do. This fellow was demanding justice a moment ago, but in a blink of an eye, he went through a complete change in attitude?
925
926Could this fellow really have some sort of ill-intentions, or…. that sort of preference..? Even if he was like that, there were so many muscular men around… it makes no sense to come for an old man like me even though I'm still young at heart, handsome, and gracious…..
927
928But little did he know, the Jun Mo Xie, who was harbouring ill-intentions, was even more frustrated! You think I wanted this? Who would want to act chummy and talk nonsense with an old man like you! I'm in a hurry to return to Tian Xiang, but… that thing in my head doesn't allow me to!
929
930So the young and the old continued their stiff conversation. Jun Mo Xie kept trying to look for conversations, and Han Feng Xue tried his best to counter, but he was truly at a loss as to what to do.
931
932Mei Xue Yan was facing two other people: Yun Bie Chen and Peng King.
933
934Although Yun Bie Chen had used some underhanded methods in that incident back then, it was a fact that both of them were a good match in personality. Yun Bie Chen roamed the world at his own pace, and the Peng King had a personality with no attachments. Otherwise, the Peng King wouldn't have been tricked so easily, and even remain so obedient after knowing that he was tricked…
935
936Those two had very indifferent characters, aloof and detached about the world, and were heading toward a lifestyle of a hermit not shackled by anything.
937
938As such, they instantly matched and became partners, roaming the world…
939
940With regards to their reappearance, Mei Xue Yan only said one thing. "The Peng King betraying Tian Fa was unforgivable! I have no intentions to do anything to you both, but the ancestral decree of Tian Fa cannot be violated! Whether you are a hero or a coward shall be determined in the War for Seizing the Heavens! The two of you can do whatever you want, become hermits or make a comeback! But the only condition is that the Peng King can use his martial skills and strength, but he is never to utilize that Kingly aura that belongs to Xuan Beasts!"
941
942If this condition was broken, he would be killed without mercy, even if he was miles away!
943
944Mei Xue Yan may have sounded merciless, and even emphasized on the words 'War for Seizing the Heavens'. But did she wished to be so heartless? If the Peng King could really aid in the War for Seizing the Heavens… she would give him another chance.
945
946These were Mei Xue Yan's intentions; although she had not clearly stated it, but she knew the Peng King understood what she had meant.
947
948Yun Bie Chen and the Peng King both let out a long sigh and agreed on this condition. Then the two slowly made their way off. The Peng King wanted to go and bid farewell to the Xuan Beasts before leaving, but he felt intense animosity when he was approaching them. So he turned his head and left in resignation.
949
950Mei Xue Yan turned around after she had resolved this matter, only to see Jun Mo Xie playing ruffian with Han Feng Xue, who was wearing a helpless expression. She couldn't help but feel angry and amused by the sight. Walking over, she said, "Mo Xie, things here have been resolved; she should rush back to Tian Xiang now, the situation there…"
951
952Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes. Lady, did you think I don't wish to go back? I want to go back more than anyone else! But the problem right now… I really can't leave! Looks like if the Hongjun Pagoda in my head doesn't get the secret from Han Feng Xue's body, I'm destined to find difficulty in stepping even an inch away…

957
958
959
960As unwilling as Jun Mo Xie was feeling on the inside, his mouth spoke otherwise. "Blizzard Silver City has suffered so many great loss because of me—as the perpetrator, how could I just leave like this? No matter what, I should try to help a little…"
961
962Han Feng Xue, who was near a hundred years in age, was on the verge of suffering an internal injury from the shamelessness of Jun Mo Xie. He quickly shook his hand and refused. "No need. There is no loss too major. Our people can do the tidying ourselves easily…" But his heart was bleeding. The entire Blizzard Silver City is destroyed; we've lost almost ninety percent of all our valuables, and rebuilding will require another large sum of money which we don't know where to get from….
963
964Although he was sabotaging himself by refusing, as long as Jun Mo Xie could go away as quickly as possible, it would all be worth it …
965
966Jun Mo Xie rolled his eyes, then whispered into Mei Xue Yan's ear. Although he didn't clearly state what was happening, it was enough for Mei Xue Yan to understand that something peculiar prevented him from leaving…
967
968Mei Xue Yan frowned. "Since Mo Xie wishes to aid in the rebuilding of Blizzard Silver City, how about I bring the troops back first? After all, we cannot afford to have any delays on that side!"
969
970Jun Mo Xie considered for a while, but he couldn't make a decision. There were nine Saints over there! Even though Mei Xue Yan was a fourth level Venerable, she might not be able to make a big difference even if she headed back. Using Xuan Beasts to launch a brutal battle would only result in a huge loss even if they won! This was not a good decision, but the longer they remained here, the greater the danger Tian Xiang would be in! What should he do?
971
972"It's a good idea if you guys return first!" Jun Mo Xie gritted his teeth, eyes turning a little red. "Xue Yan, you must be extremely careful going back; if anything already happened to Tian Xiang, bring the army back to Tian Fa Forest immediately. Don't take any actions on your own! Do not seek revenge! Wait for me to return first before we decide anything! You only need to send the Crane King over to inform me. If nothing has happened, that would be the best. Just pretend to comply and drag as much time as you can! If they are too demanding, then tell them that my master has set a date to meet them for a battle to determine victory and defeat next month! We have to hold them back no matter what! Remember, you must wait for me to go back! Before that, do not act on your own!"
973
974Mei Xue Yan agreed seriously. "Don't worry, we will not hastily go against nine Saints before our own Saints from Tian Fa are out. Even Beast Kings stand no chance against a Saint. I am clear of the advantages and disadvantages."
975
976After saying this, Mei Xue Yan whistled. All the Xuan Beast got into formation neatly. Jun Wu Yi, Dongfang San Jian, Sikong An Ye, and the rest also got ready to head back.
977
978Han Yan Yao knelt before her mother to bid her goodbye. They embraced each other—it was another inevitable separation.
979
980But this time, no matter what, Han Yan Yao was to follow back to Tian Xiang.
981
982What was unexpected was under the intentions of her mother, Han Yan Meng was to follow Dongfang Wen Xin and her sister back to Tian Xiang.
983
984Although Xue Shuang Qing couldn't bear to part with her daughter, she loved her daughter dearly, so she had to make such a decision. Blizzard Silver City was currently in ruins and required rebuilding; Han Yan Meng will only suffer were she to stay behind. Even lodging would be difficult; what more other necessities? She might as well go back to Tian Xiang—no matter what she'd live more comfortably there. Furthermore, there was no more grudge between the two families; even if she missed her daughter, she could go and visit anytime.
985
986Also, by leaving the younger daughter there, she could also improve her relationship with her future son-in-law. This had no disadvantages to Blizzard Silver City…
987
988Dongfang Wen Xin knew the intentions behind Xue Shuang Qing's actions. Bidding farewell, she got aboard the back of a flying Xuan Beast with Guan Qing Han and the rest. Mei Xue Yan whistled loudly. In the heavy snow, thousands of Xuan Beast took flight together, flying back to Tian Xiang.
989
990Only two people were left: Jun Mo Xie and Condor King!
991
992Jun Mo Xie kept Condor King behind because of his speed. His flying speed was even faster than the Crane King's! After resolving the matter here, it would save a lot of time getting back.
993
994"Why are you not leaving? What are your intentions?" Han Feng Xue glared angrily. He was on the verge of going berserk… Everyone has left, but this annoying fellow stayed behind! This is absolutely insufferable!
995
996Why not leave everyone behind and let this person go on his own! Why is it that everyone leaves but he remains behind? Why must he stick so awfully close to me?! What kind of person is this!
997
998Jun Mo Xie was just as equally frustrated. You think I'm willing to stay behind and act chummy with your old ass? There's nowhere to look for pretty girls in this freezing place! And I only have a dark looking Condor King as company….
999
1000Hongjun Pagoda, Hongjun Pagoda, you really make me uncomfortable this time! Such a crucial time… you… You've really tossed me into the fire!
1001
1002"Senior, I say, shouldn't we go and take a look to see how much of Blizzard Silver City is destroyed? If there is anything we can still use." Jun Mo Xie suggested eagerly.
1003
1004Han Feng Xue flew away angrily, feeling that if he looked at this fellow for another moment, he would be driven him nuts…
1005
1006Xue Shuang Qing was entertaining Jun Mo Xie extremely intimately, walking along slowly. Her behavior made Han Zhan Meng a little jealous, feeling unhappy with his wife. When this fellow met me that day he was almost shouting at me, but you're treating him so well right now… If other people were unaware, seeing how gentle and considerate you are of him, they might mistake him for your son…
1007
1008Han Zhan Meng was unaware that his wife was working on building a good relationship with her future son-in-law… The more she looked at him, the more pleased she felt. She felt even more pleased with Jun Mo Xie than her other son-in-law, Jun Wu Yi!
1009
1010A handsome appearance aside, in the millions of years of the Xuan Xuan Continent, countless of prodigies have appeared, but was there one who was able to accomplish as many groundbreaking achievements as my son-in-law? At the mere age of eighteen? No wonder his mother was so proud!
1011
1012How could anyone pass on a son-in-law as excellent as this!
1013
1014So the more Xue Shuang Qing looked, the more she admired him—even that heretical aura around him was accepted by her as a cool and stylish personality….
1015
1016Young Master Jun was also having a headache, not sure of how to address this gorgeous madam, who was the mother-in-law of his third uncle. What should he address her as? Grandmother-in-law?
1017
1018But this issue was resolved by Xue Shuang Qing. "Mo Xie, your mother and I are now extremely close friends. You can just address me as 'Aunt'; we are all part of the pugilistic world, why bother so much?"
1019
1020This sentence left Jun Mo Xie dumbfounded.
1021
1022What? Even if we are part of the pugilistic world, should it be so… reckless? If I address you as such, then doesn't that mean I should go back and address my third uncle as third brother? Or like brother-in-law? Then… can I still keep my ass?…
1023
1024Thus the two continued to chat as they made their way to Blizzard Silver City.
1025
1026Tian Xiang City.
1027
1028Li You Ran had began his operation on the second day after Jun Mo Xie left with the rest.
1029
1030With three Saints as his aid, Li You Ran felt mighty and powerful. But at the same time, he was a little frightened.
1031
1032He did not ever think that Jun Mo Xie, the person he had always viewed as his rival, would be this powerful!
1033
1034To require three Holy Lands to send experts of a Saint cultivation!
1035
1036And to send nine!
1037
1038In this world, where a Venerable was powerful to stand at the top of the food chain, what was the concept behind sending out nine Saints? Facing such a line up, Li You Ran could only feel terrified!
1039
1040He couldn't even estimate how powerful those forces were! He only knew that any Saint could effortlessly destroy the entire Tian Xiang City.
1041
1042This was an unimaginable level of power—and nine were sent out just to deal with a single Jun Mo Xie, a mere Jun Family! With such capabilities, they were still wary and careful instead of simply wiping out the entire Jun Family! What did this mean? What did it suggest? Even at the mention of that mysterious master of Jun Mo Xie, all nine of them had a grave expression upon their faces!
1043
1044Li You Ran could vaguely tell!
1045
1046These nine Saints had no confidence in winning that mysterious master of Jun Mo Xie's!
1047
1048Then what stage was Jun Mo Xie at now? What stage was his master at?
1049
1050Li You Ran no longer dared to think about these matters because thinking about them was enough to make his blood run cold. Someone like that,was his opponent in the past? He was fortunate enough to still be alive….
1051
1052All three Saints had given the same suggestion at the same time. Test the waters first! See what stage that person is at first before deciding! And since that person is staying at the Jun Family's, then there will definitely be some sort of clue, no matter how good he is at hiding!
1053
1054So the most important place right now was the Jun Family's residence!
1055
1056So Li You Ran had absolutely no time to return home. He had gone over to Second Prince's to establish a base, then rushed off to make arrangements with the people from three Holy Lands. Then on the second morning he returned to Tian Xiang, he brought the three Saints along and headed over to the Jun Family Residence.
1057
1058He euphemistically called it a visit!
1059
1060And Li You Ran had a pretty good excuse: Princess Ling Meng!
1061
1062Princess Ling Meng was the Emperor's daughter and also once Li You Ran's dream lover. Now that she is resting in the Jun Residence, then it's not too much for me to pay a visit, isn't it?
1063
1064This reason was completely logical!
1065
1066So Li You Ran made his way over.
1067
1068The three Saints were rather cooperative as well, dressing up as people from his family and following behind him. Although Li You Ran looked lighthearted on the surface, he was extremely anxious on the inside.
1069
1070For the past few days, during their discussions on the journey, as well as meeting the nine Saints last night, Li You Ran developed a hunch: Jun Mo Xie's master was extremely powerful! So powerful that perhaps nobody was capable of fighting against him!
1071
1072A feeling like this made him terrified!

1080Despite having three Saints as his bodyguards, Li You Ran still felt oddly unsafe.
1081
1082It was really illogical!
1083
1084In a place like Tian Xiang, having a peak Earth Xuan as a bodyguard was enough to let anyone do whatever they wanted to without fear. To have a Sky Xuan bodyguard would be a dream come true!
1085
1086But the situation now was different. He had three powerful people who were a million times more powerful than a Sky Xuan beside him; there really shouldn't be anything that could threaten him in this world. But, Li You Ran oddly didn't feel a single ounce of the sense of security he should have held…
1087
1088Upon arrival at the doorstep of the Jun Residence, Li You Ran was taken aback!
1089
1090The doors of the Jun Residence were wide open with only two relaxed guards watching the entrance—none of that tight security in the past. They didn't even seemed bothered by their arrival. Li You Ran handed over the visiting card, the guard took it and ran off to pass the message, returning shortly to invite them in. "Old Master invites Young Master Li in."
1091
1092He only invited them in and didn't even send someone to bring them in! He didn't even send a housekeeper out!
1093
1094Li You Ran was surprised; it seemed like the Jun Family was not too friendly towards him.
1095
1096Li You Ran thought that the Jun Family was trying to trick the enemy into thinking otherwise with their sudden lax in security. By pretending to be weak, it would trick clever enemies into noticing the dangers that awaited, but in reality, they were truly powerless and weak!
1097
1098Creating an illusionary pretense of being weak to conceal their actual weakness in reality! An extreme move of putting yourself in a powerless position that was ready to be obliterated to make the enemy suspicious and suspect that you already set up a trap and feared nothing!
1099
1100This was a strategy to counter smart enemies!
1101
1102It was the best strategy to employ in order to confuse the enemy when you were really powerless and weak!
1103
1104The stratagem of the empty city!
1105
1106You are really lacking in defence, and a stronger enemy decides to arrive at this timing. If you put up a strong front, it'll instead trigger the enemy's desire to battle! And destruction may occur when the two forces clashes!
1107
1108However, if you put up a weak front like this, it'll cause the enemy to become wary and suspicious, unable to decide on what course of action to take!
1109
1110When Li You Ran arrived, he could guess that the sudden relaxation in the defences of the Jun Residence was part of Jun Zhan Tian's intentional stratagem! He did not comment on it openly, but secretly felt pleased with himself. Jun Zhan Tian, you may have spent all your life fighting battles, and you are clearly well versed and skilled with your strategies, but I'm no herbivore! Didn't I see through your strategy easily? Looks like your silly illusory tricks have no effect in face of our capable forces!
1111
1112But Jun Zhan Tian did not send anyone out to usher them in, revealing a stronger animosity. It clearly told them: We do not welcome you!
1113
1114This made Li You Ran a little doubtful. Could it be… they were really unafraid? We are definitely powerful, but what about them? Do they perhaps have stronger forces?
1115
1116Just at this moment, the three Saints behind him lifted their heads and took a sniff in the air. All their expressions changed at the same time!
1117
1118"To think that there is Spiritual Qi of such a pure form! It's a surprise to have a place like this in the world; the Spiritual Qi here at the Jun Residence is so rich! Even three Holy Lands, which boast the most Spiritual Qi cannot be compared to this!" One of them whispered. The other two nodded slightly, and their faces darkened more.
1119
1120A situation like this was likely due to some unrivalled master cultivating his Xuan skills in the Jun Family Residence. Everyday, he would absorb all of the Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi in the surroundings, so all the Spiritual Qi from other places would start to gather here instead! Over a period of time, a Xuan Qi field would have developed!
1121
1122Even if that person no longer intentionally trained, the Spiritual Qi could still gather around here!
1123
1124Over a long and continuous period, a thick and pure Spiritual Qi field developed and it would always hover around and encompass around the Jun Residence!
1125
1126The three Saints were all experts in this field; how could they not be aware of something like this? If there was an unrivalled master awaiting in the Jun Residence, such a phenomenon would not be a surprise.
1127
1128But the thing that really scared them was the purity of the Spiritual Qi in the air—it was so thick it didn't dissipate! This was an unimaginable situation because as long as someone stopped their training, even if a Spiritual Qi field vortex existed and lingered around, it should not reach such a level of purity and richness! Had it been the case where that person was training when they had arrived, it would have made sense. But there were no fluctuations from someone practicing, so everything happening right now made no sense!
1129
1130When these three people stepped into the Qi field, they instantly felt extremely refreshed! Even at the Supreme Golden City, at the place all the Saints trained together, there was no such accumulation of Spiritual Qi of this scale or richness!
1131
1132And this place was in the mortal realm!
1133
1134In other words, the rate this unrivalled master released Spiritual Qi was beyond the rate of all the Saints in Supreme Golden City taking in Spiritual Qi combined! And by multiple folds!
1135
1136A fact like this shook them to their very core! Even though they had yet to meet this master, they all felt a little timid already. To think that there was someone like this in the mortal realm! We clearly are not his match in a one-on-one battle. Even if the three of us joined forces, we still may not stand a chance! This person is too fearsome!
1137
1138All four of them pretended that they were unaffected by anything despite hesitating in their hearts as they stepped foot into the Jun Residence. They were heading to the main hall when all three Saints stopped at the same time…
1139
1140From inside of the house, the crisp voice of a young girl could be heard. "Snowy, don't run about! If you run off again, I'll really hit you! You lazy fellow, to think you already put on so much weight… I can't even carry you anymore! So infuriating! If you continue to grow fat like this, I'm going to abandon you! I don't want you anymore!…. Don't run! I'm so tired… You're so fat, but why are you so good at running? Stop…."
1141
1142Following that clear shout, a white animal ran over with a whoosh. It was the size of a lion cub, and its chubby body was covered in snowy white long fur. It's eyes as pretty as rubies, and it was extremely adorable. It rolled playfully on the ground before running off again.
1143
1144Following it, a young girl came chasing from the inner house, panting heavily. "Snowy… if you keep running I will—Hm? Li You Ran? Why did Snowy become Li You Ran? Could it be the legend of turning into human after it grows up? Snowy has such an ability?"
1145
1146It was a beautiful young girl, and although there was still some baby fat on her face, it wasn't hard to tell that she would definitely become an alluring great beauty in a few year's time!
1147
1148Her eyes were as clear as water, like the untainted spring waters of the mountains; she had fair skin like a porcelain doll, a sharp nose, a small cherry mouth, and dark and silky hair that was carelessly tied up, adding on to the energy and cheekiness of a young teenage girl.
1149
1150Although she was wearing thick clothes in this harsh winter, her emerald clothing fitted perfectly on her body, not making her look plump or reducing her body. Like a blooming gardenia in the morning after a spring rain, only one look was enough to make someone feel extremely refreshed and sincerely adore her.
1151
1152What an adorable little girl!
1153
1154"To think that it's Miss Dugu. It's been a while since we last met." Li You Ran smiled and bowed slightly. "You've become even more beautiful in these days that we haven't met."
1155
1156"Pei! Li You Ran, who would want to meet you? You hypocrite, can you wipe that hypocritical smile off your face? Do you know, the more I look at it, the more disgusted I get! Look at you, smiling like a woman, not even showing your teeth; where is your manliness? Let's not even use our Mo Xie to compare—any other man out there is more virile than you! Aiyaya, Li You Ran, you've always behaved like neither a male nor female! Do you know my teeth hurts just looking at you?"
1157
1158This girl was Dugu Xiao Yi, and with a chain of insults like this, Li You Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even the three Saints were taken aback!
1159
1160All three Saints couldn't help but raise a brow; they weren't expecting this. What a beautiful, cute, bubbly, and adorable lady! But why is she so aggressive when she opens her mouth to speak? She is completely unafraid—is the world so wild nowadays? Back in our days, the ladies were so shy and reserved, to think that now it's the other way around…
1161
1162"How can Miss Dugu say such things; we are old friends after all… Degrading me like this, how should I feel about it…" Li You Ran touched his nose awkwardly, but he did it in such a natural manner that no one could tell he was at a loss.
1163
1164"Pui! Li You Ran, Aiyayaya… You really want to disgust me to death! Who is old friends with you? Who am I? Are you worthy! I have no time to waste with you; I need to go chase Snowy. Snowy, Snowy! Don't run… Hm? Li You Ran, why did you change to these three followers?"
1165
1166Dugu Xiao Yi was about to walk away calling out to Snowy, but she looked at the three Saints standing behind Li You Ran, looking at them as if she had discovered something new. With a face full of contempt, she pouted her lips and squinted. "Look at the three people you picked, tsktsk… Why are they so ugly? They all look hideous and stupid. You may be lesser than me by a few folds, but you are still the young master of a worldly family. You should pick a few servants that look decent enough to be brought out! I really judge your taste… Someone like the three of them, haha, in our Jun Family, no matter how capable, just on their appearance alone, they would be naturally meant to clean the toilets!"
1167
1168After thoroughly insulting them, Dugu Xiao Yi left to chase after Snowy.
1169
1170    Women in the past were expected to smile without revealing their teeth to exhibit their femininity
