Zhan Lun Hui looked at Zhan Wu Yun coldly. “Right now, you only see the Free and Natural Physique prodigy becoming the guardian of the Misty Illusory Manor after he grows. That naturally makes him the guardian of the Zhan Family’s future. But did it ever occur to you that after what had happened yesterday, that Free and Natural Physique prodigy may have already noticed the Zhan Family’s hostility? If it were you, would you allow yourself to be controlled by an enemy that is weaker than you for the sake of the bigger picture?”
“I won’t!” Cold sweat rained from Zhan Wu Yun’s forehead.
“Then is there is still a need to be hesitant? If that Free and Natural Physique really develops into an invincible existence as the legends have it, it shall be the moment the Zhan Family is completely doomed for!”
Zhan Lun Hui scoffed. “Although this is just a guess, or even a mere ‘possibility’, we cannot take the risk! The ten thousand years of the Zhan Family’s establishments cannot be placed upon a chance! We must destroy every single ‘possibility’ that sprouts!”
Zhan Lun Hui paused for a while before continuing. “Especially the matter you mentioned: of him breaking through on the spot. This confirmed that this person is the real Free and Natural Physique! There is no need to doubt this anymore! Precisely because of this, we must get rid of him! And fast!”
Jun Mo Xie had never imagined that his little show in the afternoon became the reason why Zhan Lun Hui absolutely must destroy him!
The reason why he had chosen to put on a show of breaking through before everyone was naturally not purely for the sake of showing off.
First, he already had the quota for entering the Spiritual Herbal Gardens. So Jun Mo Xie must continue to increase his bargaining chips. Showing off his ‘ incomparable gift’ was a build up for him after he entered the Spiritual Herbal Gardens.
As to the second reason, it was also to tell Miao Jing Yun, as well as all the patriarchs of the eight influential families, to stop their designs on him. Someone that the Manor Lord of Misty Illusory Manor had personally affirmed… all of you better stop your little tricks… Give me a more flexible space and don’t hinder me…
From the expressions of the patriarchs when they left, it was clear that these two objectives were accomplished perfectly.
As to the third reason, it was to strike water right and left. I may be a prodigy and also have a shocking advancement speed that no one else can compare to, but right now, I only have the strength of a Golden Xuan… The future path is still long, so… you guys better think about how to get my favors…
This was also a very important point and very beneficial for him to operate within the Misty Illusory Manor. It fact, it even helped to pave the way for the moment he leaves…
It can be said that Jun Mo Xie’s objectives were all accomplished perfectly…
But things were always unexpected. Young Master Jun had never imagined that in the ambitious eyes of the Zhan Family, his showing off of his gift, his biggest selling point, turned out to be the reason why he must die…
But who was it that would die… this remained to be seen.
Because Mo Jun Ye with the Free and Natural Physique was only a disguise. Young Master Jun’s current strength was relatively terrifying!
“Xiao Xiao, since last time… you never appeared before anyone. I believe you’re a stranger to Misty Illusory Manor today. So I intend to hand the mission of killing the Free and Natural Physique to you.” A hint of maliciousness appeared on Zhan Lun Hui’s youthful face.
“If Cao Guo Feng tries to interrupt, there’s no harm getting rid of him as well!” Zhan Lun Hui ordered.
“Alright, I will do my best.” A solemn look appeared on Zhan Xiao Xiao’s smiling buddha-like face.
Deploying a Saint Venerable to kill a Golden Xuan!
If anyone heard of this, they might lose all their teeth from laughing so hard!
But Zhan Xiao Xiao knew that his mission was definitely not easy!
Because that was still ultimately the owner of the Free and Natural Physique! The future of a Free and Natural Physique was not something that even a Saint Venerable could match. With the high regard the Misty Illusory Manor placed on the Free and Natural Physique, aside from the seven Saint Emperors, there were definitely other experts secretly protecting him!
It was not completely impossible for him to fail or even not make it back from this mission…
So Zhan Xiao Xiao did not take it carelessly. He mustn’t and he didn’t dare to!
“Since we’ve decided to get rid of him, then we must do it immediately! The most effective method is making a decision quickly! All those… a worthy match is hard to find… trying to nurture him into a future opponent is just an act of stupidity and digging your own graves!” Zhan Lun Hui snorted coldly, the corner of his lips twitching as he seemed to recall something.
Then he tilted his head back and pondered for a long while. “Tian Ji, has there been anything unusual with the feng shui positions?”
Zhan Tian Ji instantly replied with a serious expression. “There is nothing unusual! The feng shui from the Miao Family is still slowly flowing towards here as usual. I believe that it will completely blend into our family’s soon. When that time comes, even if a feng shui Master notices it, they cannot do anything about it!”
“But I still feel that something is amiss.” Zhan Lun Hui squinted his eyes. “Or perhaps because things have been progressing too smoothly, making me feel uneasy. Right now, I’m extremely suspicious that… my master… is still at… that period of time… ai, if it’s still there…”
Then Zhan Lun Hui’s temper suddenly flared and he dismissed everyone. “All of you, go! Do what you should do!” Then he turned around, facing the black wall, only giving everyone else his back view.
Although he had never said anything, but his first half of the sentence shook the hearts of all the five people present!
Zhan Lun Hui’s master!
Miao Qing Cheng!
That person… where was he at? Why was there such a question? Could it be…
Miao Qing Cheng!
The founding ancestor of the Miao Family!
The first Lord of the Misty Illusory Manor!
The only disciple of the Nine Nether First Young Master!
The Nine Nether First Young Master first created Misty Illusory Manor, but Miao Qing Cheng single-handedly brought it to heights to its grandeur and scale today! The entire Misty Illusory Manor was filled with traces of Miao Qing Cheng!
After Miao Qing Cheng developed the Misty Illusory Manor, he took in a total of eight disciples!
Which were the ancestors of the eight great families!
Zhan Lun Hui was the oldest disciple amongst the eight! The ancestor of the entire Zhan Family! No wonder the Zhan Family was so respectful towards him…
Miao Qing Cheng had already became a meaningful legend in Misty Illusory Manor, only second to the legend of the Nine Nether First Young Master. Could it be… he is still alive?
Everyone exchanged looks, feeling that this thought they had was absurd! They nodded their heads in response and were about to leave…
All of a sudden—
Zhan Lun Hui suddenly stood up. Two green glows shot from his pale skin. “There is an intruder in the Zhan Manor! Go and investigate now!”
“Someone has barged in? How could it be possible?” Zhan Wu Yun was stunned. This was something that no one dared to believe.
Since the Zhan Family developed its ambitious goal of becoming Lord, the basement under the Zhan Manor was a place for secret activities. Aside from the purest blood related descendants of the Zhan Family, no one else was allowed in there! This secret had been kept thoroughly!
None of the other families even knew that there was another underground world of the Zhan Family! Even within the Zhan Family, less than twenty people knew of this underground place!
Such a secretive place; how could there be any outsiders barging in?
“This is the energy of a soul! The smell of humans! My senses are never wrong! There is an intruder! Hurry up and go! Check thoroughly!” Zhan Lun Hui said ruthlessly.
Using the heaven-defying concealing abilities of the Yin Yang Escape, Jun Mo Xie rushed right into the Zhan Manor brazenly, casually grabbing a couple of people along the way and using the Great Spirit Deterrence technique with hypnosis to find out where the two brothers of the Zhan Family were.
Although there were many people in the Zhan Family, there were a limited number of them who were allowed to partake in the discussions of the higher ups in the family. So those who knew of the location of the two brothers were even less.
After consecutively interrogating over ten people, Jun Mo Xie finally found out from a ‘higher-up’ that these two unlucky brothers had been arranged to go through the ‘Nine Nethers Soul Refining’ somewhere… As to where, even fewer people knew of the exact location; they only knew it was somewhere underground…
Young Master Jun was highly skilled and bold, and he had the miraculous Yin Yang Escape, plus the great fanfare he had came in with. There was no way he was going to return empty handed. So he continued to charge his way in at shocking speed. Within seconds, he was already underground and inside the secret underground world of the Zhan Family!
This underground world was an absolute secret to anyone in this world! Even if it was the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master who had arrived here, he may find it difficult to move as he pleased. But to Young Master Jun who had the perverse abilities of the Power of Earth and Yin Yang Escape, it was as easy as going for a stroll in his own backyard!
The Zhan Family was extremely stringent in handling this matter. All the servants in charge of household matters in the underground world were forbidden from stepping out for their entire lives! Those who defied would be killed! Some of these people were born and grew up here and had never seen sunlight!
So all of them looked like zombies. They were all deathly pale, with no color in their faces. Jun Mo Xie thought he went into a world of white people and was shocked. F*cking hell, these people are whiter than my teeth! Even those real foreigners are not this white; they are really terrifyingly white ah…
It was more simple this time. He managed to find out the location for the Nine Nethers Soul Refining after catching two people and using the Great Spirit Deterrence technique. As expected, ‘the locals’ were more familiar with the place, ah. And this time, Young Master Jun did not use any hypnosis afterward because there was no need to conceal anything!
All those servants from the Zhan Family that he used the Great Spirit Deterrence technique on all laid there like a vegetable. Their life and souls were already shattered and beyond repair!
