Chapter 834: Arrival
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After a series of cruel extortion of confessions, Jun Mo Xie obtained the information that he currently needed. Of course, this process was naturally extremely unenjoyable for w.a.n.g Wei Ran and the rest.
Just from that petrified, I’d-rather-die-than-stay-alive look in their eyes, you could tell how terrifying an experience it was.
Neither Young Master Jun nor the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer members had the slightest guilt when using such wicked torment on these scoundrels who were originally evil and immoral. They were even quite pleased; they had disciplined four b*stards after all, making these four scoundrels incapable of doing harm anymore…
Jun Mo Xie frowned slightly, feeling extremely troubled by the news he had obtained from the four people. In their confession, they revealed that Mo Wu Dao had gotten someone to arrange for no less than two hundred missions for the Dongfang Family to a.s.sa.s.sinate. And… every single one of them was not easy to deal with!
Needless to say, there were experts from the three Holy Lands planted beside some of the targets! Amongst those over two hundred targets, at least twenty to thirty of them had experts hidden around them! This number was a relatively scary number, although it was not significant! The only problem that had led to this was merely because the three Holy Lands could not afford to deploy that many experts.
In fact, the three Holy Lands perhaps did have the capability to arrange for more experts to protect the targets of the missions, but that would make things too obvious. Only through an arrangement like this, where most of the missions were completed successfully, and only ten percent of the mission failed, would n.o.body get suspicious! Furthermore, as long as it continued like that slowly, not only would it drain all the strength of the Dongfang Family, the normal society would also not find any fault or flaw with it…
The logic was simply. As an a.s.sa.s.sin, if you failed to complete a mission and got killed, then it only went to show that you were not strong enough. It was a completely normal thing. And who would know that behind all these, was the three Holy Lands in the shadows?
So no matter what, no matter which side died first, there would be no impact to the three Holy Lands’ reputation!
As for those missions that could be accomplished, naturally they’d have to make the payment. But… the money wouldn’t be coming from the three Holy Lands. Because there would definitely be someone who’d foot the bill for them, and they’d be fighting to make payment. Those who didn’t get the opportunity to pay would even feel regretful…
Besides, so what if the Dongfang Family managed to collect all that money? What’s the use in so much money when the whole family was dead? At the end of everything, someone from the three Holy Lands would appear, pretending to insist on pursuing this matter in the name of upholding justice in the world and investigate the tragedy of the Dongfang Family and then exterminate them. Then wouldn’t that go to show that they had substance and boost their reputation? By then, the Dongfang Family would have gathered a relatively large amount of fortune, but it would all land inside the three Holy Lands’ pocket…
The methods in dealing with Sikong Family and Duanmu Family were almost the same. These two families who were even weaker didn’t even require as much work. Needless to say, they were already so oppressed to the point that they couldn’t even raise their heads…
Jun Mo Xie figured out all of these four. He couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh. This Empress of the Elusive World of Immortals, Mo Wu Dao, is truly a prodigy at overt plots! If it all goes according to his plans, not only will he get his revenge, sell his favor, and even vent his anger, he can even get a perfect ending gaining both fame and fortune…
How can the term ‘prodigy’ be enough to f*cking praise him?
Jun Mo Xie had always thought that Li You Ran was already despicable enough. And his methods were also relatively good—probably no one else in the world could surpa.s.s him. Even if Jun Mo Xie tried to compete in terms of intelligence, he may not be Li You Ran’s match. But from the looks of the current situation, there was always a sky above a sky, and a man above a man! This Empress of the Elusive World of Immortals really shouldn’t be a brother with Mo Xiao Yao—this scoundrel was literally Li You Ran’s twin, and he had to be the elder brother…
However, the thing that made Jun Mo Xie feel truly troubled was the fact that although these four men knew of Mo Wu Dao’s plot, but they did not know which targets had experts hidden around them. But this was no surprise; after all, this whole matter involved too many people, and they didn’t pay attention to it, so it was perfectly logical for them to not be aware of it. Furthermore, Mo Wu Dao wouldn’t let them know to much…
Jun Mo Xie began to feel anxious, praying nonstop in his heart that the Dongfang Family had not embarked on their mission yet. If that’s the case, if there is any loss, then it is an irreversible regret, especially the three uncles. They are the closest people to mother and I…
Jun Mo Xie stood up with a cold look on his face. “Set out at full speed to the Dongfang Family.”
“Yes Sir!” Baili Luo Yun replied before asking, “Then… what about these four men?” All four men had a beginning look in their eyes—they were all truly afraid of death.
“You still need to ask? Are you still an a.s.sa.s.sin?” Jun Mo Xie chided unsatisfactorily. With a flash of white, he had already vanished. His voice came from far away. “Make it fast. Don’t make any delays!”
Baili Luo Yun quickly gave a response and ordered. “Kill all of them! Hurry up and catch up with Young Master! Don’t make any delays!” He said it so indifferently, as if he were giving instructions for a small matter like he was killing chicken or pigs, as if he had not just decided the fate of four people…
The four of them paled and were about to curse and swear, but ten long swords had already pierced right through their bodies!
———————
When Jun Mo Xie had arrived, the Dongfang Family was extremely calm and peaceful.
After he had announced his name, he saw third master, Dongfang Wen Dao coming out to bring him in personally. He had a chiding expression on his face. “Mo Xie, why did you really come? You brat, why are you so foolish? The target of the three Holy Lands has always only been you. Wouldn’t your appearance give them the chance to seek revenge? If anything happens to you, what are we uncles supposed to do? We are still secondary, what about your grandmother and your mother? How would you want them to accept it?”
Although his words were full of chiding, but Jun Mo Xie felt warm and snuggly inside from hearing it, forcefully suppressing that sudden wave of kins.h.i.+p in his heart. Jun Mo Xie smiled and said, “Rest a.s.sured, Uncle, since I dared to come out, naturally it is because I am absolutely certain. Otherwise… is your nephew that sort of reckless person who would act when he is unprepared?”
“Absolutely certain?” Dongfang Wen Dao scoffed. “When I was your age, I was absolutely certain of jumping to the skies to pluck the moon! Just a little bit more and I’d reach it! But could I really reach it? You young rascal who is still wet behind the ears, talking big like this, how many difficult times have you gone through? How many treacherous people have you met? Do you know the difference between being certain and arrogant?”
“Um…” Jun Mo Xie conceded defeat! This third uncle of his was too straightforward, but feeling certain that he could pluck the moon at Mo Xie’s age… this certainty was indeed a little too big…
But Jun Mo Xie was clear that Dongfang Wen Dao was simply full of concern. Although Dongfang Wen Dao was aware that Jun Mo Xie currently had outstanding skills that had way surpa.s.sed this uncle, but the crisis this time could not be compared to the one last time!
In Blizzard Silver City, although the three Holy Lands had a powerful force, but it was still within the margins of what they could fight against. But right now, the three Holy Lands had deployed their stronger experts; how many of people in the regular society could be their match?
In the eyes of the Dongfang Family, no matter how fast Jun Mo Xie growed, and how outstanding his strength was, how could he be a match for the three Holy Lands who were giving their all?
Right now, Baili Luo Yun and the rest who were a bit slower reached the doors of the manor. Dongfang Wen Dao sighed with resignation. “Since you’re here, then just play for two days, then the three of us shall personally escort you back to Tian Fa. Sigh, young people really don’t know what are consequences… Hm?”
He suddenly widened his eyes at the last sentence. Eyeing the sixty men behind Jun Mo Xie in shock, he took a sharp breath of air. Swallowing his saliva, he asked, “You… where did you get this many experts from? Why do they all look so familiar? It’s you guys? You… how did you all advance this rapidly?”
Naturally Dongfang Wen Dao could tell that these sixty burly men were not inferior to him in terms of strength. And… these people were not Xuan Beasts, but rather people he knew!
This was nothing surprising; Dongfang Wen Dao had met these members of the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer units before. They had received the guidance of the three brothers… but that time, they all only had the strength of Earth Xuan and Sky Xuan, which had already left the three brothers astonished. But in merely a few months, they had leapt to this sort of realm, and were all almost comparable to himself. How could this be; this is too miraculous…
Dongfang Wen Dao felt as though he was still reading…
“This is a lot? I don’t think it’s a lot.” Jun Mo Xie looked at him in shock. “I already split the troop into nine groups to rush to rescue the others… there’s only sixty men here; why do you still find it a lot?”
“Furthermore, the rate this bunch of guys are advancing at is not that impressive… It’s too slow! Even I find it a little unbearable… how could you say that it is fast? Uncle, who uses sarcasm like this!” Young Master Jun asked in surprise.
“What? Split into nine groups? In other words, there are at least eight other troops with this sort of strength?… This sort of advancement is still too slow?…” Dongfang Wen Dao was completely at a loss for words. What is this nephew talking about? Levelling up by seven to eight levels within just a few months… is too slow?! And say that I’m being sarcastic? Who is this brat? Is he giving people a chance to survive?
Dongfang Wen Dao rubbed his temples, his body swaying a little, shaking his head as if he were trying to snap out of this dreams. “Follow me,” he said.
Then he turned around and brought Jun Mo Xie in. Baili Luo Yun and the rest also followed behind, entering the place.
