Chapter 1088: Extremely Grand Stroke!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was a feeling that could cause one to suffocate!
There were clearly tens of zhang to even a thousand zhang of distance between them, but the crowd could still clearly feel the frigid killing intent that gripped tightly around their hearts! These people were like the evil demons that had been freshly released from h.e.l.l!
There were clearly only a few hundred people, but they moved as a single ent.i.ty; apart from the action of their feet landing, there were no other unnecessary movements at all. Just the few hundred people had managed to release an intense aura as if it was a great army of one million!
Every single one of these people was a G.o.d of slaughter!
These people were all dressed in clean snow white clothes. The only difference between them was the golden lines along their sleeves. Some of these golden lines were thick, and some were thin. Some had two lines, and some had three. The ones at the center even directly had a tiny golden sword embroidered onto their sleeves!
From the looks of it, this was a uniform designed by the Evil Monarch Manor…
They were divided into two groups, with exactly 149 people in each group! When the last person marched out of the city gate, they stepped out neatly, lining the two sides of the road and opening a path. Following that, they spoke together in perfect synchronization. “All esteemed guests are invited to come inside!”
Miao Zhan had originally been watching from afar with a calm expression, but in the instant he saw those 298 men, his eyes grew wide and his jaws dropped to the ground!
Mo Wu Dao, Xi Ruo Chen, and Huyan Ao Bo’s faces also turned exceedingly ugly!
“What’s wrong?” Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat strange, Miao Xiao Miao turned and asked Miao Dao.
“How is this possible?! The troop that came out to welcome the guests… even the ones with the lowest cultivation are at the Third level Saint level!” Miao Dao also sucked in a deep breath of cold air. His voice even shook a little as he widened his eyes in disbelief. “Among them, there are over 70 Saint Emperor experts, and over a hundred of them are peak Fourth level Saints… such a level of strength is simply… simply… unbelievable… Furthermore… these are still just the people that came out to welcome the guests… F*ck, this daddy is going crazy… how could such a thing be real!”
If it were just one Saint level expert, Miao Dao would naturally not place them in his eyes at all. Even if it was 10 or 8, it wouldn’t be too much of a big deal. But to have so many as to form them into an army… this was simply too terrifying…
“AH~” Hearing this, Miao Xiao Miao exclaimed aloud and hurriedly covered her mouth…
A total of 70 Saint Emperors and over 200 Fourth level Saints standing still like regular guards to welcome the guests… even the Misty Illusory Manor would be hard pressed to come up with such a grand formation…
“Right now, the only thing left to see is the strength of the Evil Monarch Manor’s core members…” Miao Jian sucked in a deep breath and calmed himself down forcefully.
Behind him, Mo Wu Dao and the rest also calmed themselves down.
Following that, it was Jun Wu Yi, Third Master Jun, who came out personally dressed in a light green robe, to receive the guests. With Jun Wu Yi’s status as an important member of the Evil Monarch Manor, it could already be said to be giving the crowd a lot of face!
Miao Dao and the rest exchanged a glance and nodded. “Let’s go.”
The group got up together, and walked over.
All of a sudden, a bright voice rang out. “Sikong An Ye of the Sikong Family congratulates the Evil Monarch on the grand establishment of the Evil Monarch Manor! We bring a stalk of Seven Colored Rainbow Jade Orchid and 10,000 liang of gold as an expression of our good wishes!” Following that, a stalwart man walked out from the crowd, carrying an intricate brocade box.
Jun Wu Yi hurried forward and shook the man’s hands warmly as he smiled. “Brother Sikong is too polite; it’s good as long as you turn up. There’s no need to bring anything. Men, quickly bring Brother Sikong in to rest; serve over our best tea as well!”
Sikong An Ye laughed happily and nodded, following a white robed girl in.
“Duanmu Family’s Duanmu… Chao… Chao… Chao… Chao… Fan congratulates Evil… Evil… Evil… Mo… Mo… Monarch… on his grand es… es… es… establishment…” The moment this person spoke, everyone almost spat out whatever was in their mouths. So it turned out that this was a stutterer…
However, no one dared to laugh aloud. Because, there would only be one person who would dare to stand out here and stutter like that: the Duanmu Family’s Duanmu Chao Fan!
Jun Wu Yi did not wait for him to finish speaking, and hurriedly went up to him with a broad smile. “Brother Fried Rice, you’re here as well! We’re all family; there’s no need to be so polite. You must have been tired after travelling such a long journey. Quickly go in and rest…”
Duanmu Chao Fan rolled his eyes and said, “Brother Wu Yi, I… I… I… haven’t re… reported my gi-gi-gift….”
“What’s there to report?” Jun Wu Yi pulled him in impatiently. “By the time you’ve finished reporting it, the sky would have turned dark…”
The two men were already very familiar with each other, and there were no speaking barriers between them. As Duanmu Chao Fan struggled stubbornly, he was pulled inside by someone else. After some time, one could still hear him stuttering in the distance: “I need to re-re-re-re-re-re-report…”
Following closely behind that, the crowd all sucked in a large breath of air. Because, a huge wave of meat had suddenly appeared right at the front, rippling energetically and filling everyone’s sights!
This fatty… could no longer be described with the word “fat”. He could only be described with a ball of meat! A huge ball of meat!
This gigantic meatball wobbled forward slowly; with every step taken, the crowd felt as if they were sitting atop a small boat, while the rippling fats were the mighty ocean, vast and boundless…
Miao Xiao Miao’s pet.i.te little mouth opened to its extreme, and she could not close it no matter how much she tried. It wasn’t that she had never seen a fat person before. But this was really the first time she had seen such a fat fatty! How could a human be fat to such an extent?
This was simply too exaggerated!
At the same time, she also discovered an amazing phenomenon. Wherever this fatty went, the crowd would automatically open a path for him, allowing him to go first. Furthermore, all of them had looks of great respect on their faces…
Many people even squeezed to the front just to have a chance to speak a single word to this fatty. After exchanging a single word, they would hurriedly back away with looks of content and glory…
“Who is that person?” Miao Xiao Miao could not imagine how a fatty like that was actually able to hold such great prestige, having so much influence! This was simply too strange. What was so attractive about this fatty that would make one laugh until their stomachs ached until they couldn’t eat for three days?
And the most ridiculous part was that this fatty… didn’t even seem to have much strength? His cultivation should at most be around Silver Xuan. Could it be that this was a peak level expert whose cultivation was so profound that he could already retract his aura perfectly into his body? If that weren’t the case, it would be hard to fathom how this person could win so much respect from the heroes of the world.
“Miss Miao seems to be wondering how that person could receive so much respect even though his cultivation is so low? This person is the number one richest man in the world right now! He’s the owner of Tian Xiang City’s Aristocratic Hall, Tang Yuan! And also the best and closest friend of the Evil Monarch Jun Mo Xie! I guess you can say… when a man attains the Dao, even his pets ascend to heaven!” Mo Wu Dao said with a slight sneer.
“A rich man… and the closest friend of the Evil Monarch…” Miao Xiao Miao mumbled with disbelief. Isn’t it just some money? What’s so amazing about that?
“Money can enslave ghosts and even summon the G.o.ds! In a world like Xuan Xuan Continent where strength was enough to rule the world, it might not mean much for a person to have 10,000 liang of gold, or even 100,000 liang of gold. But if it were 1,000,000 liang of gold… or even an amount that far exceeds that until it’s an incalculable amount… that person would become the most powerful person in the world! Even if he doesn’t have a single shred of Xuan Qi, he would still be the most dangerous person in the world!”
Mo Wu Dao nodded. “As the saying goes, one liang of silver is also a temptation, 10,000 liang of gold is also a temptation. The more one has, the more temptation there is. For most people, it is naturally easy to remain unmoved in front of 10 silvers. But what about a truly astronomical amount? One has to know… a man without money is no man at all… to have lots of money, is also a kind of ability… an extreme level of ability!”
Miao Xiao Miao nodded in a somewhat confused manner.
At this time, the richest man under the heavens had finally managed to make his way to Third Master Jun, whilst panting heavily. Slapping his tummy, he smiled in a nauseating manner that caused Miao Xiao Miao’s face to turn green…
One had to say that the expression on that fatty’s face right now was simply too disgusting…
“Third Uncle… long time no see… hehe, Third Uncle hehehe…” The fatty wiped his sweat and said in a fawning manner.
Jun Wu Yi furrowed his brows deeply. “Oh fatty, what happened to you… didn’t Mo Xie help you lose weight not long ago? How many days has it been ah? You’ve actually… actually…”
Third Master Jun didn’t know what to say. Judging by the looks of this fatty now, he’d definitely exceeded even his highest weight record once again!
“Ah, Third Uncle… there’s no need to worry about me… this little one has already learnt to accept my weight…” Tang Yuan panted heavily as his fats wobbled freely…
“Y-you… Ai, you’ve indeed accepted your weight very well…” Third Master Jun was completely speechless. Waving a hand, he signaled for somebody to drag this fatty away. Standing in front of this fatty, a tall, strong man like Jun Wu Yi was completely blocked. This pressure… was truly impressive…
After speaking, Tang Yuan raised his head and puffed out his chest, causing all the fats on his body to shake dangerously. After that, he roared at the top of his lungs. “Tian Xiang City’s Aristocratic Hall’s Tang Yuan congratulates the Evil Monarch on the grand establishment of the Evil Monarch Manor, and offers a gift of… 100 million liang gold!”
The moment those words rang out, the entire area turned completely silent!
100 million liang gold!
This fatty didn’t bring anything else; no rare treasures or precious heavenly herbs… nothing, except money! Gold!
100 million liang gold!
This number was no longer just an astronomical sum… this was an amount of money that 99.999999 percent of people in this world would never even dare to dream about!
Just the weight of the gold was probably enough to crush a hundred thousand people to death…
Miao Xiao Miao’s body shook, and she completely could not speak a single word.
This fatty… is truly rich ah… truly too filthy rich…
