“Exactly... why would our Zhan Family do something so stupid?” Zhan Wu Feng’s heart was already trembling.
“Ah, I’ve got it! So that’s how it is!” Jun Mo Xie ignored Zhan Wu Feng and thought for some time before suddenly clapping his hands loudly. “So that is why you all raised those kinds of conditions earlier, even promising to support me. If the situation became such that the Heaven Saint Palace and my side are both badly hurt, you will definitely use your best efforts to save my life! But at the same time, you will declare to the outside world that Jun Mo Xie is already dead... This way, everything will be fine, and the concerns of all sides will disappear completely. As the other seven families have the Free and Natural Physique prodigy with them, they would naturally choose to take a step back for the time being, and bide their time as they wait for an opportunity to strike back.
“And that way, all the objectives of your Zhan Family will be safely met, and you could develop in peace and accumulate your strength. With me to hold off against that prodigy with the Free and Natural Physique, everything will be within the palms of your hands!”
Jun Mo Xie smiled faintly and nodded. “That is indeed a formidable plan, with one facet linking perfectly to the next. First, you will throw out the ultimate bait of complete hegemony over the Xuan Xuan Continent, making me fall into the trap. As long as I take the first step out, everything will fall into place seamlessly! Even if I realized the whole scheme later on, it would be impossible to turn back any further, until I’m finally taken in by the Misty Illusory Manor and used by your Zhan Family!
“Naturally, all my followers, my family, and even the Xuan Beasts of Tian Fa Forest in the outside world needs to be completely dead, so that it will be easier for you to control the entire continent! Even if I saw through this point in the end, I will still need to behave obediently towards your Zhan Family since I’m relying on you!”
Jun Mo Xie laughed and clapped his hands as he sighed with heartfelt admiration. “Your Zhan Family is indeed a family of geniuses! Such an intricate scheme is truly amazing, especially the person who came up with the idea of swooping in and gobbling up two injured tigers! That person is undoubtedly a genius among geniuses! Even this Seat cannot help but be impressed with him! If I had taken just a single wrong step, there won’t be any chances of turning back.”
“Manor Lord Jun has surely gone too far in your imagination...” Zhan Wu Feng could hear the sweat on his forehead rolling off and dripping onto the ground. “If the Heaven Saint Palace uses its true force, our Zhan Family would not necessarily be able to deal with them even if we used our full strength. What more, thinking of safely rescuing Manor Lord Jun from their hands? Manor Lord Jun’s words have truly overestimated us too much. Although our Zhan Family doesn’t think of ourselves as weak, we are also not that wildly arrogant...”
“No no no... you could definitely do it.” Jun Mo Xie stretched out a finger and wagged it lightly. “Because in this scenario, you can watch the Evil Monarch Manor and the Tian Fa Forest’s forces be completely decimated, but you will definitely not simply look on as such a valuable person like me was finished. Thus, you would definitely try to save me! And to do that, your Zhan Family only needs to send out a single person, and you would be able to accomplish that perfectly. I believe that that person’s shocking strength is something that even the strongest experts of the Heaven Saint Palace would not be able to match! As long as that person takes action personally, it would not be a difficult thing to take me away.
“Lord Jun jests; our Zhan Family does not have this person whom you mentioned!” Zhan Wu Feng stubbornly hung on. At this moment, he felt that his throat was already completely dry, and his heart was beating exceptionally quickly. The Zhan Family indeed had a person like that, but that was also the greatest secret of the Zhan Family, and only the core members of the family had the qualifications to know about this secret! If Jun Mo Xie had managed to guess this through his analysis as well, that would be too terrifying!
But how would Zhan Wu Feng have known that Young Master Jun had not simply guessed the existence of this person... he had even seen that person before!
“Zhan Wu Feng... are you sure that you, as the blood brother of the family head, doesn’t know if your Zhan Family has such a person?” Jun Mo Xie said with a mysterious smile. “Should I give you a little reminder?”
“Manor Lord Jun would have to spell this out clearly for this Zhan then!” A look of complete innocence, anger, and wronged expression appeared on his Zhan Wu Feng’s face. “This Zhan completely doesn’t know what Manor Lord Jun is saying about schemes and plots! Our Zhan Family would never do something as despicable as that! This time, we came here with utmost sincerity. But Manor Lord Jun’s words are simply an insult to us!”
“To be insulted is still better than losing your lives! At this point, do you think that I’m just trying to scare you? Unfortunately for you, I truly am aware of that person’s existence, and his identity as well! Zhan Wu Feng, you’d best consider carefully; the moment I say that person’s name, none of the people who came here from your Zhan Family will have the chance to return alive! Zhan Wu Feng, think this through properly! Our next few words will decide your life and death. This is not a joke; think thoroughly and carefully.” Jun Mo Xie said with a faint smile as a sharp killing intent rose from his body.
The sweat on Zhan Wu Feng’s forehead had become the size of beans, dripping loudly onto the ground!
“Life is precious and also fair! Everyone only gets one life, with no exceptions.” Jun Mo Xie hooked his legs in a roguish manner and said in a casual manner. But although he looked relaxed, he seemed like a sharp sword, poised and ready to draw blood!
His words were light and sounded like taunting, but it was also laced with a decisive killing intent, saying: “A man can regret anything in this life, except for the decisions that led to his death!”
Zhan Wu Feng’s body started to tremble lightly. Every word that Jun Mo Xie said was smashing onto his heart like a heavy hammer, forcing him step by step onto the path that determined life and death!
Apart from the core members of the Zhan Family, not even the people within the Misty Illusory Manor knew about Zhan Lun Hui’s existence. Jun Mo Xie was located all the way in the Tian Nan mainland, so how would he know about that? He must be trying to trick me! If not, why would he need to keep holding the suspense like this? As long as I dare to make this gamble and prove the sincerity of the Zhan Family, we would be able to control Jun Mo Xie, the Evil Monarch Manor, and Tian Fa Forest!
The Zhan Family would be able to last for endless generations to come!
And I, Zhan Wu Feng, would be the greatest hero of the Zhan Family!
But if Jun Mo Xie truly spoke out Zhan Lun Hui’s name, then what awaited him was only the word: Death!
This choice looked simple on the surface, but it was actually exceeding difficult!
Because the stakes in this gamble was his own life!
Judging by the killing intent in Jun Mo Xie’s eyes, he was sure that this Evil Monarch definitely dared to kill him!
This was a person who dared to challenge the entire three Holy Lands all by himself! For a Saint Venerable, why would he not dare to kill a mere him? No matter how powerful the Zhan Family is, they were no match for the influence of the three Holy Lands combined! As for their strength, it was far from being comparable!
As the pressure Jun Mo Xie mounted, the two Saint Emperors behind him also gripped their swords nervously. Their palms were already slippery with sweat.
Jun Mo Xie’s aura was already enough to cause them to not dare to move a single hair!
But Zhan Wu Yun who was standing in front of them didn’t seem to have felt it! Because it was already sufficient for him to feel the fear inside his heart! If the two behind him was as nervous as him, they would be even more paralyzed!
“Seniors of the Zhan Family, have you finished your considerations?” Jun Mo Xie looked warmly at him:.”I’m actually a rather impatient person, especially when I’m dealing with people who are trying to scheme against me.”
“We’ve finished considering! May Manor Lord Jun please spell out for us just who the shocking expert is that could contend even against the experts of the Heaven Saint Palace and pop in to take a person away with ease.
Zhan Wu Feng sucked in a deep breath of air as his gaze turned heated. “If Manor Lord Jun is unable to name the person, that means that all the conjectures earlier were baseless, and it proves the sincerity of our Zhan Family to cooperate with you, and our arrangement shall stand effective!”
“Among the juniors of the Zhan Family, there’s a very outstanding youth. I’m naturally not referring to Zhan Qing Feng or Zhan Yu Shu ,those youngsters, so Senior doesn’t need to deny it too anxiously!” Jun Mo Xie’s eyes turned cold and emotionless as he continued. “According to the legends, the Nine Nether First Young Master once had four personal disciples, and the youngest of which is called Miao Qing Cheng, the founder of the Misty Illusory Manor...
“And Miao Qing Cheng also accepted eight personal disciples in the Misty Illusory Manor, who are now the ancestors of the eight great families of the Misty Illusory Manor! Among them, there was one with the surname Zhan... I don’t have much interest in the previous name of this person, but I know that this person is a true monster to still be alive after so much time... Brother Zhan, do you know who I’m talking about?”
Zhan Wu Feng’s entire body suddenly became as cold as ice!
“I heard that that old bastard has an extremely perverted nature; in order to escape the tribulations of death, he would choose a descendant with good potential every few hundred or thousands of years and occupy that descendant’s body so that he could continue living. Such an old bastard, I truly wonder what your Zhan Family is protecting him for.” Jun Mo Xie laughed coldly and continued. “But what left the deepest impression on me is that this person is not only not embarrassed to be taking the lives of his own descendants, he even takes pride in it. Thinking that even the wheels of samsara cannot do anything to him, he actually gave himself a new name, calling himself ‘Zhan Lun Hui’ 1 .
“Kekeke, this person truly does not know the meaning of death! Reincarnation is the Dao of the heavens, and he’s just a soul that barely managed to survive its tribulation. To think that he had the face to say he’s battling against reincarnation? How preposterous!” Jun Mo Xie’s eyes were already filled with killing intent.
“Senior Zhan Wu Feng, I’ve already finished with my words. And you... can also go on your way now.” Jun Mo Xie shook his legs and sneered. “Go ahead and tread the path that your old ancestor declared to be able to contend with: reincarnation!”
“You! That is impossible! How did you know?” Zhan Wu Feng screamed with fear and desperation.
The moment he heard the three words Zhan Lun Hui, he knew that he was finished!
Because the other party was absolutely right!
Even the things that he had been privy to was inferior to the things that Jun Mo Xie had reduced himself from just a single sentence. T his should be the true plan that Zhan Lun Hui had laid out!
“It doesn’t matter how I found out, but the most important thing is... I’m not the only one who knows now.” Jun Mo Xie chuckled. “Three Seniors, have you heard everything clearly?”
“We have! Right now, we also understand this matter perfectly as well! This is all thanks to Manor Lord Jun!” As those words rang out, Miao Zhan, Miao Dao, and Miao Jian suddenly materialized outside the room. At the same time, three pairs of eyes filled with killing intent turned onto the three from the Zhan Family, piercing coldly onto their backs!
