Chapter 831: Ambush? Surveillance?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
So the three Holy Lands want to mess with the three major families on good terms with me? Then I shall attach myself to the families affiliated with the three Holy Lands until they are all crippled!
Let’s see who can outplay the other, and who will be done for first!
You, Mo Wu Dao, want me, Jun Mo Xie, to know that I cannot afford to be offend some people in this world. Well I, Jun Mo Xie, also want you to know that there are some prices that I cannot bear, but the three Holy Lands… may also be incapable of bearing them too!
It’s nothing more than simply ma.s.sacring! In this world where I am afraid of everything, the only thing I’m unafraid of is killing people!
Jun Mo Xie squinted his eyes as he watched the eight troops disappear from sight, the corner of his lips slowly curling into a cruel smirk. He mumbled, “The three Holy Lands… Mo Wu Dao! I didn’t intend to face of against you so soon, but you guys… really have pushed me too far!
“And Zhan Mu Bai! An Saint Emperor expert, huh?… Hehe, is it really that impressive? If this young master doesn’t toy with you till you are destroyed, then he wouldn’t be Jun Xie! Just you wait!” Jun Mo Xie recalled that final line the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master left before he escaped: just you guys wait!
That chilling single sentence was like an unusual curse! Even Jun Mo Xie s.h.i.+vered, though he was not involved…
This sort of sentence was usually left behind by ruffians who had lost a fight, but it was completely different when it came out of the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s mouth! At least, after his one sentence, the expressions of twenty experts who were Saint Kings and above turned serious.
“Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, I can only pray and hope that you’ll recover your strength earlier. You are an important, necessary part of my plans…”
Jun Mo Xie smirked evilly as he chuckled. “Chu Qi Hun had become my scapegoat so many times before; there is no meaning in letting him continue being one. Furthermore, his level is still slightly weak, and it seems like he can no longer be used… however, these Nine Nether Cold Blades in my hands are completely capable of creating a genuine scapegoat Saint Emperor… Hehe…”
Leng Ao, who had been following beside him, couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver at that weird smile on Jun Mo Xie’s face. This sort of smile… was really too sinister and perverted…
Travelling swiftly the whole way! Like a sharp, black sword, all 63 men quickly vanished into the radiance of spring in the continent…
It was currently the end of spring and the start of summer. There were beautiful flowers everywhere!
Young Master Jun could be said to have been extremely pleased and delighted the whole journey…
This time, Jun Mo Xie did not use flight type Xuan Beasts because in the eyes of the three Holy Lands, the Xuan Beasts of Tian Fa were already the personal possessions of Jun Mo Xie! If a large group of flight-type Xuan Beasts were flying in the sky, then it would be equivalent to setting a target for the three Holy Lands, telling them that Jun Mo Xie had come out of Tian Fa…
That way, wouldn’t all of them become live targets…
In a blink of an eye, four days had pa.s.sed…
Just as Jun Mo Xie’s group was hurrying in the dark, unusually terrible murders were happening at the same time!
From different directions, dozens of families who had pledged their allegiance to the three Holy Lands were all wiped out! Some of them were even crucial points of contact between the three Holy Lands…
From different places, the thick color of blood began to fill the air …
Slowly, almost the entire continent noticed the blood-colored atmosphere and everyone was shocked!
After another eight days, Jun Mo Xie and the rest had already entered that forest where the Dongfang Family used to hide in in the past! Just that currently, the Dongfang Family had already turned back to their old residence before they went into hiding. That old location deep in the forest had now become the warehouse of the Dongfang Family.
After crossing this forest, opposite it, was the current location of the Dongfang Family!
Seeing that their destination was already close, everyone was relatively fast, hastening their pace. Jun Mo Xie, who was right in front, suddenly noticed that there were unusual aura movements coming vaguely from the front. He gazed in that direction and noticed that there was small smoke rising nearby…
Young Master Jun immediately halted silently. Then he gestured to those behind him. Leng Ao and the rest had sharp senses as well, and although they couldn’t compete with Jun Mo Xie’s sharp sight, they had also noticed that something was off. Upon seeing Jun Mo Xie’s signal, they all got into action, completely concealing themselves in the blink of an eye…
Jun Mo Xie released his spiritual sense with extreme caution, extending it all the way over to check it out. Four human figures appeared, barbecuing food around a bonfire, everyone of them appearing to be extremely relaxed, as if the place they were at was absolutely safe…
Circling around these four people through his spirit sense, Jun Mo Xie immediately concluded that these four people all had the strength of a Spirit Xuan and above! Although this sort of strength was undoubtedly not much of a threat in his eyes, but in terms of the regular world where a Spirit Xuan was a relatively invincible existence, the combined strength of these four people would be enough to destroy any of the ‘super’ families!
And this position they were at right now was already not too far from where the Dongfang Family was staying!
This couldn’t help but make Jun Mo Xie think a lot more. Four great experts barbecuing birds to eat for no reason? At a place like this, where it is thousands of lis away from the nearest towns, in all directions!
These four people appearing here was a little too…
If it was only one person, it could still be explained if it was a secluded person who wandered about, but this place had four top experts gathered here. It could not be explained by mere coincidence!
If they weren’t people sent here by the three Holy Lands, then who else would send them?
The reason why they had gathered here was most likely to keep an eye on the Dongfang Family’s movements, so they could report the latest and most accurate news back to the three Holy Lands!
The Dongfang Family, who had returned to the pugilistic world, naturally was not weaker than by other families. Their strength was powerful enough to hold others in disdain. But when judged in terms of higher standards, they only had a few true peak level experts. The three Dong Fang brothers had indeed attained the levels of Spirit Xuans and above when they had used the pills back then, but that was it. This made it hard for them to catch the eye of the strong. The only person from the Dongfang Family that had managed to catch Young Master Jun’s attention was only Old Madam Dongfang. Jun Mo Xie had felt back then that he didn’t truly see what the Old Lady’s strength was…
In the battle back then, she permanently caused Xiao Xing Yun, Bu Yu to get stuck at the fourth level of a Spirit Xuan for their entire lives with her strength alone while barely sustaining any injuries herself. Old Madam Dongfang would also be a Spirit Xuan at the very least, and at least level six or seven. Her strength should be on par with Solitary Falcon back then, or perhaps even higher! Probably around s.h.i.+ Chang Xiao’s level!
Based on this theory, after going through ten years of c.u.mulative solid foundations, after using the Vitality Linkage Pill, Vitality Congregation Pill, and Heaven Vitality Pill, she would at the very least be at the realm of a level twelve Spirit Xuan! It wasn’t entirely impossible for her to even reach the first level of a Venerable!
But right now, Old Madam Dongfang must control the overall situation, not daring to have the slightest neglect. She probably didn’t even have the time to sort out internal matters of the household. While the three Dongfang brothers handled one side. The entire Dongfang Family was kept busy. With four such Spirit Xuan and above experts here, although they may not be able to wipe the Dongfang Family out just like that, but no single movement of the Dongfang Family would be able to escape from their eyes!
If there were any sudden changes, they’d probably instantly release the news and allow people outside to make arrangements accordingly to the Dongfang Family’s actions…
Jun Mo Xie instantly figured all of this out.
A chilling glint appeared in Young Master Jun’s eye. He lightly gestured again, making an odd signal, drawing a circle with both his pointer fingers. The meaning behind this hand signal was: I want them captured alive!
Baili Luo Yun behind him immediately waved his hand, and a row of over sixty people immediately spread out and moved towards that place.
Clearly, these four people had no awareness of this; in fact, since the moment they arrived here, they had not met any threat, so over time, they started to become careless. Besides, the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer were experts at concealing themselves, so even if they were focused and wary, it still may not be of much use…
One of the long bearded men flipped his wild goose that was golden brown. It exuded a salivating aroma. “… The mission this time—although it sounds serious, but it in reality, it is extremely easy. The Dongfang Family is merely a worldly family with a false reputation! We walked in and out blatantly and not a single person noticed us! What a joke!”
“Old w.a.n.g, only one word in your speech makes sense!” Another person sneered. “Only the ‘worldly’ part makes sense! How could you forget that under the control of the three Holy Lands, Spirit Xuans are already the strongest in the worldly powers of the entire continent! Were you expecting a few Venerables or Saints to pop out from this Dongfang Family?”
Another person spoke. “But we mustn’t speak too soon; no doubt it is impossible for a Saint to appear, but it may not be the case for a Venerable. A few days ago, when I was on duty and infiltrated the Dongfang Family, I saw the master of the Dongfang Family, Old Madam Dongfang. That Old Madam is really not that simple; from my observations, I daresay that this Old Madam Dongfang is not weaker than us in terms of strength. Perhaps, she may be above us. Truly unpredictable…”
“So what? No matter how strong she is, she wouldn’t personally take on a mission right? And what we need is information on those who take on missions. With all the people we have ambus.h.i.+ng around the targets, dealing with the strongest would be the same as dealing with Spirit Xuans around the same level as the three Dongfang brothers. It’s definitely more than enough!”
That ‘Old w.a.n.g’ scoffed, continuously flipping the goose that was almost cooked with his left hand. His right hand reached out to grab a pinch of salt as he slowly sprinkled it over the bird. He chuckled. “Actually, this extermination of an entire family business is not that different from roasting a bird; everything just needs to be done step by step. First, pluck all the feathers, then the guts, skewer it with a branch, start the fire, put it on the rack, then repeatedly add various seasoning…”
