The reason why he had done this was simple, Jun Mo Xie wanted to create a facade, making people think that the Zhan Family had provoked a terrifyingly ruthless opponent! And this person’s methodology was also beyond everyone’s imagination—not only was he vicious and cruel, he was capable of making one wish they were dead...
The ultimate goal of this was to make everyone cut off all suspicions of the things happening here being related to Mo Jun Ye with the Free and Natural Physique!
It may be cruel, but Jun Mo Xie felt no pity! Young Master Jun already felt like he was being very merciful to the Zhan Family by handling it this way...
As Jun Mo Xie advanced rapidly towards the place the Nine Nethers Soul Refining was held, he did not realize that there was a secret chamber in the place he passed! And the six highest members of the Zhan Family were having a meeting in there!
And this old fellow, Zhan Lun Hui, who has gone through samsara 1 for god knows how many times had managed to detect Jun Mo Xie’s aura with his own unique senses! Although it was very faint, but it was enough to highlight a problem!
Jun Mo Xie was flying at full speed when a sudden weng sound ring from above his head. Within seconds, it rang through the entire underground!
Instantly, everyone underground was on their guard!
For many years, this underground world had never had any intruders! Today, there was really an enemy who barged in! This was the biggest secret concerning the Zhan Family; how could the Zhan Family members not be flustered? If this person really managed to escape, then the biggest secret of the Zhan Family would spread throughout the entire Misty Illusory Manor overnight!
Then all the other families will be alert. Because there was no way to cover up this secret. Whatever the Zhan Family wished to do in the future would increase in its difficulty by multiple folds. They may lose everything and become enemies with the seven other families! This was not completely impossible!
One wrong move, and the entire game was over!
So this was a shocking matter to the Zhan Family! Everyone brought this matter to their greatest attention!
They absolutely must capture the intruder and kill him! Only then could their tensed up nerves relax!
Right before Jun Mo Xie, there was a flurry of motion and five men in black robes appeared rapidly, heading in all directions before gathering back here within seconds.
“Did anyone find anything?”
“No! That sneaky bastard is extremely crafty; he did not even leave a single trace. The only thing we can be sure of is that he is still here in the underground world. So we are still lucky!”
“It’s good that he hasn’t left yet. Continue the search! We must find him! He mustn’t get away!”
Then with a whoosh, these five figures flew away in separate directions at a rapid speed.
As expected, the foundations of the Zhan Family were truly thick. These five people all had the cultivation level of a Saint! The strongest presence was only slightly weaker than a Saint Emperor. This was more than enough proof of what the Zhan Family was scheming was not a small matter! Jun Mo Xie thought silently, looking in the five ways these people headed in.
Five experts like this actually lived underground like this for such a long time... Then didn’t that make whatever the Zhan Family was scheming even more appalling?
Then, another series of urgent chimes rang out. All the people searching about in the underground world of the Zhan Family instantly retreated into their own respective secret chambers with no delay!
The sounds of stone doors closing rang out consecutively! All the doors were shut in a hurry! Only leaving an empty passage outside!
“What is going on?” Jun Mo Xie was confused. Why did they completely relax like this after being so anxious just now? Why did they stop searching? What were they trying to do? Were they really going to give up?
While Jun Mo Xie was still mulling over this bizarre situation, a soft buzzing sound could be heard. From all the entrances along the passages, countess of weird, flying bugs came rushing in in a black swarm! From the looks of it, there must be a few thousands of them...
“Don’t tell me that they are using small bugs to find out my location? What effects can these little bugs have?” Jun Mo Xie was still in the Ying Yang Escape state, so he was extremely at ease and unworried. He was just confused. It looked like these little flying bugs were one of the methods the Zhan Family has for searching.
It’s a pity that you’ve met this young master. You’re destined to be disappointed! Jun Mo Xie scoffed internally and continued to search for the whereabouts of the two brothers of the Zhan Family as per his original plans. But he suddenly noticed that all those little flying bugs swarming in were indeed flying in his direction!
And with extreme precision!
“Could it be that these little bugs are really about to detect my presence?” Jun Mo Xie frowned, observing those little bugs that were flying closer and closer. The Yin Yang Escape had never failed till now; was it going to be exposed by some little bugs?
Young Master Jun was not wrong in his guess. These little bugs had no damage on their own. It was a peculiar type of insect that Zhan Lun Hui had obtained by chance in one of his reincarnations.
This particular insect lived in places with dead bodies because they need the dense corpse air to survive and reproduce. And these bugs may not have significant attacking capabilities, but it had the bizarre ability of devouring the soul of the deceased. It was precisely because of this nature that they were extremely sensitive to the soul of the living.
After Zhan Lun Hui had obtained these creatures, he began to rear them and named them ‘Thousand Ghosts Devourer Insect’, for they would be a good help in tracking people despite their lack of abilities to deal significant damage.
Before today, it had been extremely effective in tracking or discovering enemies who were concealed and had never failed. Seeing how all the members of the Zhan Family had been deployed and they were still unable to find that intruder, they released these Thousand Ghosts Devourer Insect.
The effects were immediate. The moment these Thousand Ghosts Devourer Insect were released, they discovered Jun Mo Xie’s whereabouts!
Jun Mo Xie may still be in a concealed state and others were unable to see him, but these insects did not have to ‘see’ him to find him, ah. Besides, although he was hidden within the void state, the waves of his soul still existed.
Of course, this was because Jun Mo Xie had yet to truly master and utilize the true meaning of Yin Yang Escape in name and essence, where he truly vanished within the void. He was still in a semi-formless state, so it was understandable for him to be discovered by these small creatures that were highly sensitive to the soul.
But Jun Mo Xie who had yet to thoroughly understand the Ying Yang Escape art was instantly shocked! He had never imagined something this bizarre could exist! Could it be that there was really no foolproof method? These insignificant looking bugs were actually capable of seeing past his infallible Yin Yang Escape art?
Young Master Jun instantly detected an extremely evil aura the moment these insects appeared. And a revolting stench of rotting corpses filled the air!
This instantly made Jun Mo Xie associated these things with something. He couldn’t help but feel a surge of strong hatred. Because when he was observing the Zhan Family’s feng shui, that evil aura was extremely similar to what he was sensing right now!
At this moment, at about five zhang away from Jun Mo Xie, a middle aged man appeared, wearing a smile. The moment he appeared, he smiled amiably towards Jun Mo Xie, like a fat rich man. “You have impressive skills to be able to come here. Why don’t you just reveal yourself? Let us drink wine and chat a bit and become friends with each other instead? Hahaha...”
Jun Mo Xie did not respond. He was not the least bit dismayed that the Yin Yang Escape has been exposed. If he wished to escape, he could easily vanish into the earth, with no need to worry over safety. Since he still had plenty of trump cards in his hands, why would he be in a rush to leave?! It was never the Young Master Jun’s personality to give up halfway!
And it seems that only those bugs have discovered me. These people can only gauge my general location from the reaction of these insects. How much of an effect can it have?
Jun Mo Xie laughed and spoke in an unusually hoarse voice. “Little junior of the Zhan Family, did you think that you would be able to catch this old man with merely these few insects? Then... you guys are a little too naive.”
Before his sentence had ended, a cold, chilly voice spoke from behind him. “We are not interested in catching you! Because since you entered this place, you are doomed to never leave this place alive!”
Jun Mo Xie turned around to look. Through the swarm of insects, about eight zhang away from himself, a person in black stood straight like a spear. This posture reminded Jun Mo Xie of a sharp sword that had been unsheathed!
As if this person himself was an extremely sharp sword! This person emitted a chilly, cold killing aura that surged out in waves!
Jun Mo Xie discreetly released his powerful spiritual sense to scout. To his surprise, these two people were all top experts! And their strengths were way beyond the levels of Saint Emperor!
Even with his current strength, he was no match for either one of them if he was facing them directly! And now, he was caught between two!
The situation was a little unfavorable!
Jun Mo Xie continued to croak. “This sentence sure is amusing! This old man has always viewed death as returning home. Since I have come into this world, I have never thought of going back alive!”
“Babbling nonsense! Babbling such nonsense when your death is approaching. Then this old man shall let you die in a terrible way!” Then, the man in black suddenly struck! With his attack, all the Thousand Ghosts Devourer Insects suddenly parted aside, and a hundred rays of sharp sword qi came piercing through!
Jun Mo Xie scoffed coldly and dodged every one of them. Then with a turn of his right hand, a ball of unusually red hot flame shot off from it, engulfing the entire passageway!
