Chapter 924: I’ll Gift You a Successor!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“The Misty Illusory Manor may have plenty of experts and is strong, but most of them are old in age. They can’t compete with a maniacal prodigy with rapid advancement speed like Jun Mo Xie! Jun Mo Xie is barely twenty. Standing in a battle alone, he killed Zhan Mu Bai with not a single scratch on him. And he was capable of killing over twenty Holy Land experts in a single sweep after battling a Saint Emperor! What sort of power is that?! What sort of potential is that?! I can almost confirm that he will not be past thirty when he reaches the peak of this world!”

“When that time comes, even if its us, Misty Illusory Manor, what do we have to resist against Jun Mo Xie?” Cao Guo Feng sighed in grief. “It’ll still be alright if Jun Mo Xie doesn’t set his eyes on Misty Illusory Manor, but if he really does, then... the consequences are unimaginable!”

“Then Big Brother means... that we should get rid of Jun Mo Xie now? Get rid of the threat once and for all?!” Bai Qi Feng furrowed his brows and asked.

“No. That sort of thing, perhaps the three Holy Lands can do it without feeling any guilt, but the Misty Illusory Manor must not! And dares not! You must all remember: if you kill someone because you envy their speed... then there is no doubt that you have a subconscious belief in your own heart that ‘I’m incomparable to him’. This is a great taboo in cultivation! Even if we ultimately kill him, he will become an inner-demon that will live forever in the deepest parts of your heart. And from then on, you will never be able to improve for eternity!”

Cao Guo Feng’s eyes were full of worry. “If there is no Jun Mo Xie, the Misty Illusory Manor has no reason to be anxious. But now that he exists, we must absolutely find a suitable successor that has a great physique comparable to the enemy. This matter is of utmost urgency! Because we must guarantee that a thousand years later, there is still someone who is able to support the entire Misty Illusory Manor!”

Realization dawned on Bai Qi Feng. But his face turned into that of fury, and he uttered through gritted teeth: “This sort of ideal successor... we had actually found it... but it’s a pity that its all destroyed by the three Holy Lands! Those b*stards! If I could, I’d eat them alive!”

Another person piped up cautiously. “When put in this way... if one day, the Misty Illusory Manor is destroyed in the hands of Jun Mo Xie, then isn’t it all because what the three Holy Lands had done?”

“That is correct! That’s why I said... We must not let them off so easily.” Bai Qi Feng said heavily, his eyes filled with killing intent. His hand pressed on his sword as he looked south. That was the direction of the three Holy Lands!

“Now that things have come to this, there is no use in talking about all this anymore; there is no point... The real important thing is where do we go and find a successor whose physique is able to contend against Jun Mo Xie? Otherwise, the Misty Illusory Manor that has been around for ten thousands of years is really running out of time!” Cao Guo Feng let out a long sigh, frowning.

The other six people all thought it through and let out long sighs, at the ends of their wits.

Just then, they heard an eerie, maniacal laughter ringing out. And the sound was coming from not far away. Everyone exchanged looks of shock. A gleam appeared in Cao Guo Feng’s eyes as he asked, “Which expert is acting like ghosts before us? I invite you to come out and meet us.”

The faces of Bai Qi Feng and the rest darkened. From the sound of the laughter, this person’s strength was definitely not beneath any of them present, and even a little more superior! If this person was really an enemy, it’d be a terrifying one!

They all did not open their mouths to speak, completely focusing in stand-by mode, getting ready to attack at any moment.

After a long time, they heard that eerie voice speak slowly. “Weren’t you guys looking for a successor with a good physique? This old man sees that you have been searching too hard and pities all of you for being so old with age and left with not much time to live. So I specially came to gift one to you. This old man is a kind person, right?!”

This person’s voice was vague and indistinct; sometimes it was in front, sometimes it was at the back, and sometimes left and right. Yet sometimes, it seemed as if he were spinning in the air, changing positions constantly. Even the supernatural powers of the seven Saint Emperors could not clearly discern the direction this person was hiding at, what more his general location!

The moment the person had finished his sentence, the faces of the seven of them changed. This person could clearly listen to the contents of our conversation earlier, while we cannot do anything about him at all... Doesn’t this mean that this person’s strength is beyond all of us?

And this person’s voice was not friendly, so clearly he was not a friend!

Why would such a powerful enemy appear in such wilderness?

After a moment of silence, suddenly, a bloodcurdling scream ripped across the air. The voice sounded young, and the person was definitely not beyond the age of twenty. Then, this eerie voice laughed gleefully and said, “Come, come! Hahahaha... come and welcome your disciple... Free and Natural Physique... it’s really rare to find...”

A white figure seemed to be tossed in the air with great force. It spun twice in the air, blood spurting out from his mouth and across the air. Then, it landed heavily on the ground with a pa , blood and flesh flying about.

“This old man is going off now, hahaha...” This eerie voice seemed to be coming from underground now, vanishing completely without a trace.

“Go!” Bai Qi Feng yelled and ran over first.

“Qi Feng! Be careful; it may be a trap!” Cao Guo Feng warned. He flew into the air with his sword, cautiously observing the surroundings. In this position, no matter what was happening nearby, he would be able to immediately render aid to his comrades and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy from the top!”

This was the mutual understanding that the seven of them had developed after undergoing battles together for a long time. Nothing needed to be said; when faced with an enemy, they would naturally get into the best formation, each occupying the best and most advantageous position that would be able to provide the best protection for their comrades!

Cao Guo Feng was full of alert in the air when he suddenly heard Bai Qi Feng yelling anxiously. “Big Brother! Hurry over and see! Its... It’s really that child with the Free and Natural Physique! Come over quickly!”

Cao Guo Feng who was hovering mid air jolted and landed where Bai Qi Feng was with a whoosh. He was instantly enraged at the sight!

On the ground laid a person.

That person was already covered in blood; aside from terrible wounds, he was completely unconscious. He only had the strength to breathe out and not inhale any air...

Looked like this person was dealt a heavy hit by the person speaking earlier and tossed from a high place. It was already not easy for him to still hold onto his breath...

Cao Guo Feng walked over and checked his pulse. He couldn’t help but curse again. The meridians of this youth before them were almost completely destroyed! He was practically a cripple!

This youth had a handsome face; both his brows were furrowed in agony, and both his eyes were tightly shut... But it was none other than the prodigy with the Free and Natural Physique!

To think that he was kidnapped away when he was in Chrysanthemum City but delivered back again only now. But in such a pathetic, dying state. Cao Guo Feng only felt an heartache. His hand that had always been steady was trembling a little. He forced himself to control his emotions and shut his eyes as he asked, “Can he still be saved?”

With Cao Guo Feng’s prowess and judgment, asking this sentence was enough to show the amount of concern he had for this youth with the Free and Natural Physique.

Bai Qi Feng sighed and replied, “I’m afraid it’ll be difficult...”

Actually, not only was Cao Guo Feng upset, even Bai Qi Feng was not necessarily feeling any better!

Cao Guo Feng’s entire body jerked as his back gave way. As if in this moment, he had suddenly aged numerous years...

“But it is not completely impossible... just... just that we must see if... it’s worth it...” Bai Qi Feng said hesitantly.

“What way? ” Cao Guo Feng turned around sharply, looking at Bai Qi Feng with a fervent look in his eyes.

“The seven of us take turns to use our Xuan Qi to protect his pulse. Then, we hurry all the way back to the Misty Illusory Manor! If he can sustain till we get back to the Misty Illusory Manor, there may be a chance with powerful effects of the Seven Colored Holy Fruit... But if he can’t last till then, then there is nothing we can do... But from the looks of his current situation, thinking of lasting until then... it’s difficult! Really difficult!” Bai Qi Feng said.

“No matter what, this is the last hope we have now! Let’s do it this way! We head straight back to the Misty Illusory Manor! The prodigal physique of this lad directly concerns the future of the Misty Illusory Manor, and failure is not an option! Let me be the first to sustain his life...” Cao Guo Feng said decisively.

Cao Guo Feng stretched his arms out, and Xuan Qi rushed out. With a grunt, a formless bed that was completely made from condensed Xuan Qi appeared suddenly!

He grabbed at the air with his right hand. The body of the youth on the ground silently floated up and onto this Xuan Qi bed. There was not a single movement on his body, as if he had fallen comfortably into the clouds.

Dense Xuan Qi emitted from Cao Guo Feng’s palms as he went over the body. Everywhere the palms went, the wounds on the youth’s body began to dry up and scab. The bleeding wound just now instantly got better!

“The Return of Spring Skill! Big Brother, you’re insane!” Bai Qi Feng was shocked. “Are you sick of living?”

The Return of Spring Skill was a special skill for treating injuries. The user used his own life force to transform into the power for healing, allowing the injured party’s injuries to get better! Even the most severe of injuries would get better when this skill was used!

But in Misty Illusory Manor, this secret skill was a tabooed skill!
