Chapter 929: Entering the Misty Illusory Manor

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Impossible! This Young Master is determined to finish these bastards off today! Otherwise, where will I place my face in the future!” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s rage rose to the sky, and he felt exceedingly aggrieved. Why is this master and disciple duo so full of troubles? This Young Master is not even related to you all; why do I have to listen to you and give way every single time? Even if I owe you a favor, you can’t expect this Young Master to throw away my free will…

If you all come and interfere with everything I do, how will I live?

“F*ck! You… is the thing you owed so simple as to be summarized with just the word ‘favor’? You’re simply devoid of gratitude and forgetting the kindness you’ve been shown! To think that my master had gone to such great efforts, not minding greatly exhausting his cultivation, risking his life to rescue you… My master only knows how to act tough, but he’s actually too kind on the inside, having the gall-bladder of a sword and the heart of a lute… towards you, he could be said to have been exceedingly sincere! To call his actions a favor tantamount to giving you a new lease on life is not overboard… But today, you’re actually determined to spoil the grand plan that we’ve set up with so much effort! You, you… do you still have a conscience? Do you still have the bearings of an expert? Look at this yourself; just how are you repaying this favor? Do you still know how to write the word ‘human’?!” Jun Mo Xie’s chest was stuffed with anger as he transferred his voice and scolded unrelentingly.

Jun Mo Xie was extremely anxious in this moment. If the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master insisted on not leaving, wouldn’t all his elaborately set up schemes have been for nothing?

How much manpower had been spent on this setup, ah? If I knew it was going to be like this, I might as well have gone to pick up some girls!

“F*ck! What nonsense are you speaking? How is this Young Master ungrateful and forgetting my favors? Think about it yourself; has this Young Master not helped you enough so far? If you continue to stain this Young Master’s character, this Young Master will kill you first! You think that I won’t dare?!” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master was clearly extremely enraged, to the point where he was about to go crazy.

“If Fourteenth Young Master is indeed that noble and upright, leaving directly now will be the greatest proof. I will naturally also not be able to stain your name.” Jun Mo Xie continued to act shamelessly.

“… It’s not impossible for this Young Master to leave. However, you need to promise this Young Master a condition. Otherwise, the death of these seven people today will be a guaranteed matter. Even if you want to call this Young Master an ingrate, it wo’t change anything.” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master stood there in a cool manner and transmitted his voice as he locked his aura on the seven Saint Emperors.

“What condition? Say it; if I can do it, I will naturally give it my full effort!” What kind of person was Young Master Jun? He would always leave some leeway for himself in his words instead of agreeing outright. If the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s condition was too difficult to fulfill, he would naturally still need to consider!

“I trust that for you to spend such great effort to infiltrate the Misty Illusory Manor, it must not be to do anything good in there. In that case, you might as well do it more thoroughly.”

The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master still maintained that look of a heroic expert on the outside, but his words sounded extremely wretched no matter how one listened to them. “Due to certain special reasons, this Young Master’s treasured weapon was lost inside the Misty Illusory Manor many years ago… Despite so much time having passed, it’s still difficult for me to find the interest to craft another one again. No matter what, nothing will be more suitable for me than the original one. If you agree to help me retrieve it, I will leave right away. It’s a very simple condition, right?”

“A personal weapon?” Jun Mo Xie hesitated and asked.

“En. Long ago, this Young Master crafted my personal weapon ‘Divine Tune’ using the Nine Nethers Yin Flames. In the last battle, this Young Master was encircled by the experts of the three Holy Lands, Misty Illusory Manor, and the Lord of Tian Fa together, resulting in me losing Divine Tune. This Young Master also ended up being trapped in the Nine Nether Pathway due to their schemes, while Divine Tune ended up in the hands of the Misty Illusory Manor’s experts.

“That is undoubtedly the greatest humiliation of this Young Master’s life!” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master gritted his teeth and said. “As long as you promise to help me retrieve it and return it to this Young Master, this Young Master will be merciful today and let these seven go.”

Jun Mo Xie gasped internally with realization. No wonder, ah! He’d seen this Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master fight a few times, but even when he was in that extremely precarious situation at Tian Fa Forest, he hadn’t used any weapons to fight. So it turned out to be like this…

To even lose his personal weapon… no wonder this fellow was so angry!

“Fine! Isn’t it just a weapon? I’ll just bring it out for you!” Jun Mo Xie promised as he thought to himself. My target this time is the Seven Colored Holy Fruit! In terms of value, it is undoubtedly much more precious than your Divine Tune.

Since he was already going to steal the most precious thing, would he be afraid of going after the less valuable stuff?

Young Master Jun was quite determined in his heart, but he still felt a little gloomy.

To the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, the three Holy Lands and Tian Fa were merely targets that he wished to subdue. The Misty Illusory Manor was actually his greatest foe! But to Jun Mo Xie, the feeling that the Misty Illusory Manor gave him was that they were too much stronger than the three Holy Lands!

Up till now, the Misty Illusory Manor had only sent out seven Saint Emperors. And the friendship between the seven of them had even been enough to move Jun Mo Xie. That was what he would consider as true friendship.

Among the seven of them, Cao Guo Feng was the undisputed leader. As for the second placed Bai Qi Feng, his character was brash and extreme, often doing things without considering the consequences, resulting in him creating many unnecessary problems for their group.

Regardless of whether it was the issue of him pouring leftover food onto He Zhi Qiu’s bed, or the conflict with Zhan Mu Bai in Chrysanthemum City, or this most recent incident of him leading the entire team into a death trap as a result of his erroneous scouting…

All of those were matters that were exceedingly hard for normal people to accept! Furthermore, any of those matters, if the results had been even more serious, would have definitely resulted in a different scene today; the people standing here would definitely not have been the entire complete group like this!

However, the other six never said half a word of complaint or blamed him.

When there were no troubles, they would tease and bicker with each other, hanging out jovially. When trouble appeared, all of them would come together as one to face the challenge and resolve it. It didn’t matter how the trouble began, or who caused it. All they needed was a single sentence, and their brother’s trouble would be their trouble.

None of them had ever told each other such a thing; instead, they’d proved it with their actions!

That was the most commendable and praiseworthy aspect!

Even Jun Mo Xie felt a trace of warmth when he observed these guys. At such times, he would often be reminded of Tang Yuan. If there was a day where he proved a trouble greater than what he could handle, he was sure that Tang Yuan would definitely step out without consideration for whether or not he could handle the trouble as well! Even if he would lose all the fatty oil on his body, he would definitely support him with all his abilities!

The unscrupulous and underhanded fatty in the eyes of the world was exactly this kind of person!

And this same disgraceful fatty was his friend. The only friend he had in this life; the only true friend whom he acknowledged!

Jun Mo Xie treasured such a friendship very dearly. At the same time, he was also quite reluctant to harm others who also treated their friends so genuinely.

Moreover, there was also the care that Cao Guo Feng had showered him with, even going as far as to sacrifice his own lifeforce to selflessly heal his injuries, extending his life. This was a huge favor!

Although he hadn’t truly been injured and the whole thing was actually just an elaborate scam, although Cao Guo Feng had gone that far because of his love for talent, and his concern for the Misty Illusory Manor, not knowing his true identity…

This sincerity had been shown to him, and he could also clearly feel it for himself!

Although he had only received this care and protection because he’d deceived them, Jun Mo Xie had no wish to hurt Cao Guo Feng. It was not entirely because he wanted to give a plum in return for a peach, returning a favor with a favor. But simply because of the true sincerity he’d seen, Jun Mo Xie was unwilling to allow Cao Guo Feng to suffer a huge loss in his lifeforce!

Therefore, he had not hesitated to revolve the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune, replenishing Cao Guo Feng’s lifeforce, even strengthening it and increasing his longevity as a result.

And when the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master appeared this time brimming with killing intent, Jun Mo Xie had quickly stopped him. Simply because he wouldn’t allow these people to be killed like that in front of him!

It was not entirely because of the Seven Colored Holy Fruit, which was at the tip of his fingers! It was more for his own conscience!

Jun Moxie could take by force and deceive, or even completely ignore the so-called morals of the world. But there was one thing that he would not move from: regardless of repaying enmities or favors, he must have a clear conscience! No matter what he did, he must be accountable to his own conscience!

As long as his conscience was clear, even if he was committing murder and arson, his heart would be at peace!

As for him going against the three Holy Lands and his irreconcilable relationship with them, everything had started because the latter was the one who initiated hostility against him, wanting to kill him and his family. So Jun Mo Xie would not feel burdened in the slightest when slaughtering them. Even if the three Holy Lands were really filled with noble heroes, Jun Mo Xie would still kill without feeling any guilt.

But it was a completely different case for the Misty Illusory Manor.

The Misty Illusory Manor was a place that was still quite unknown to him. Their people had never directly threatened or harmed his interests. Furthermore, this time, it was clearly him who was looking to them for trouble first… there was an idiom that went ‘An ordinary person has no wrongs, but a wealthy person sins by causing another’s greed’. And right now, the Misty Illusory Manor had the Seven Colored Holy Fruit that could retain a person’s youth!

Jun Mo Xie also happened to be in urgent need of that item.

To Jun Mo Xie, that was sufficient reason for him. But to the Misty Illusory Manor, it was a completely unprovoked disaster!

If he asked for it properly, the Misty Illusory Manor would definitely not give it up willingly…

And that was where the conflict would lie.

If the Misty Illusory Manor doesn’t react too fiercely after the matter… in the future, after I successfully cultivate some Seven Colored Holy Fruit in the Hongjun Pagoda, I can return it to them—double the amount I took. Whether they accept this solution or not, I don’t have any other options right now. As for the Heaven Saint Palace… I guess I’ll handle it the same way too… Jun Mo Xie smiled bitterly and thought to himself.

You guys treated me sincerely, so I saved your lives. Although you may not know what I did, I still feel at ease and happy in my heart!

There were some matters that even he knew were not very right or were too selfish… However, if he had to be like those old fellows in the Heaven Saint Palace, watching their wives die in front of them and turn into a pile of dried bones, while they continued living on for a thousand years or several thousand years…

Jun Mo Xie definitely could not do that!

On this matter, Jun Mo Xie was completely willing to behave selfishly!

If he couldn’t even take care of his own family, what use was there in talking about the common people? Such a thought might be somewhat biased, but it wasn’t completely unreasonable.

Hearing Jun Mo Xie promise him, the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master snorted coldly. “Brat, you’ve promised this Young Master; you’d best not forget! Otherwise, even if your master is protecting you, this Young Master will still kill you!”

Jun Mo Xie returned a snort of his own as he replied arrogantly. “Even if this daddy really forgets… what can you do?”

Cao Guo Feng and the rest thought that they were doomed, and their faces were filled with hopelessness and despair. Against a fully recovered Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master… unless all the Saint Emperors of the Misty Illusory Manor along with some of the old Seniors attacked together, it was impossible to suppress him!

But right now, there were only the seven of them. Their difference in their abilities were too far apart. The group of them together probably did not even have the qualifications to force the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master to cough out a mouthful of blood.

The seven great Saint Emperors were all wallowing in an atmosphere of absolute despair, only to see the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master simply standing still there with a dumb look on his face after declaring that he would kill them.

F*ck, if you want to kill or slash, go ahead; will it kill you to be more straightforward? What’s the meaning of leaving us here to dry? Are you waiting to play a game of cat and mouse? The few Saint Emperors cursed in their hearts.

Lunatic!

While their hearts were fluttering with unease, they saw the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master suddenly furrowing his brows, looking at a mountain in the distance. All of a sudden, he cursed aloud. “F*cking thing, what’s going on this time? How did it get out again?!”

After saying that, he leapt off and dashed away into the distance with a xiu sound, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye!

He actually did not even leave a single word behin, and had rushed off so hurriedly.

Just what was going on?

The seven Saint Emperors were completely befuddled as they looked dumbly at each other. That fellow came here screaming about killing and murdering. In the end, he’d just patted his butt and left without a word?

A lunatic as expected! That fellow truly cannot be judged with common logic. But regardless, the results was good. At least, the threat on their lives had been dispelled temporarily. That alone was stronger than anything…

“Everyone, let’s hurry up and leave. That lunatic has clearly been distracted personally by something. We must hurry and escape into the Misty Illusory Manor before he comes back! Otherwise, our lives will really be forfeited here!” Cao Guo Feng was the first to regain his senses as he cried out. Grabbing Jun Mo Xie off the ground, he dashed off like a bolt of lightning.

The others also quickly woke up and followed after him. Bai Qi Feng remained behind until everyone had passed, placing himself at the rear.

This was the coordination that they’d built over the years. In dangerous situations, the boss would charge out first, opening the path at the front. The second strongest would be in the rear, securing their retreat. Such an arrangement naturally had its logic. If there were any obstructions at the front, it would naturally be the best to have their strongest fighter Cao Guo Feng break through that obstacle for the rest. If even he could not charge through the obstacle, then it was even more hopeless for the rest of them.

With Bai Qi Feng in the rear, even if the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master chased after them, he could still delay the latter for a bit if he risked his life and went all out, allowing them the chance to escape into the Misty Illusory Manor.

Jun Mo Xie also felt that such an arrangement was rather admirable.

A normal group would usually have the boss in the middle, surrounded by all the others as meatshields while they enjoyed the safety and benefits without doing anything. A group like this with a leader who was willing to risk himself to protect his brothers was extremely rare…

Amidst the swirling snow and winds which covered the sights of man, there was a small tavern. If Jun Mo Xie could open his eyes and took a look, he would definitely recognize this place. This was the tavern that he’d stopped at when he was bringing his mother back. It was here where he first came into contact with the Supreme Assassin Chu Qi Hun!

The group of seven did not pause for even a moment as they directly rushed past the tavern. After another few li of travelling, they arrived at a snow covered mountain pass. Cao Guo Feng raised his hand and waved, and the snow on the ground flew up. A strange pattern was revealed on the sheer cliff of the mountain.

The crowd exchanged a glance, and they all let loose a sigh of relief.

Cao Guo Feng and Bai Qi Feng placed their palms against each other, bellowing heavily. At the same time, they revolved their full strength and two bouts of pure Xuan Qi instantly burst out. A puff of white mist floated out of their palms, twisting and turning in the air before forming into a ferocious dragon. With a shu sound, it burrowed into the strange pattern on the cliff.

As the dragon disappeared into the strange pattern, the ground suddenly rumbled as a huge door appeared!

If the door had appeared because of a mechanism, it wouldn’t be very surprising. However, the door had not appeared from the mountain. Instead, it seemed to exist in a separate space. Jun Mo Xie had been observing everything through his spiritual sense from the start, and he was truly quite startled by this phenomenon.

From the looks of it, the person who first created this Misty Illusory Manor was truly a great genius!

Jun Mo Xie could clearly tell that the Xuan ability Qi flow that Cao Guo Feng and Bai Qi Feng had jointly created was definitely not regular Xuan Qi. At the very least, it was different from the battling kind. It appeared to be a different unique ability…

Perhaps, it was a unique energy that was needed to gain entry into the Misty Illusory Manor…

As he mused to himself, he felt his body being lifted up. After that, a light jolt, and he felt as if he’d arrived in a spatial void. After a long time, he finally felt Cao Guo Feng, who was carrying him, landing back onto the ground…

The Misty Illusory Manor… I’ve finally arrived at this place of legends!

Right now, there were still five months and 10 days until the War for Seizing the Heavens!

Jun Mo Xie calculated as he closed his eyes. On his side, he already had 11 Saint Emperor level experts. Mei Xue Yan, Solitary Eagle, Feng Juan Yun, and the eight Tian Fa old Saint Emperors… if he counted himself, that would be 12.

But those eight Tian Fa Seniors had been in power in Tian Fa Forest for too long; it wouldn’t be an easy matter to control them. However, he did not have any intentions of commanding them. The current situation was already sufficient.

After consuming the Spirit Stone Immortal Milk, Big Bear, Long Crane, and the other Beast Kings could also rush for the Saint Emperor realm. When he returned, he could make the next level of pills to help them improve again, and everyone’s abilities would grow even more impressive… the strength of the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer troops would also need to be raised further…

All the preparations needed to be completed before the War for Seizing the Heavens! After that would be the actual War for Seizing the Heavens. When that was done, he would directly kill his way past the Pillar of Heavens Mountains without pause, slaughtering those disgusting strange races and removing the source of all trouble!

Right now, that was the plan…

There was only one precondition left: his operations in the Misty Illusory Manor must go successfully. Furthermore, the entire process had to be completed as soon as possible! That way, he would be able to make it in time to prepare for for the other things. In other words, the Seven Colored Holy Fruit and the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s Divine Tune… needed to be obtained within two months time. After that, he must leave and return to Tian Fa without delay!

The time was truly tight to a scary extent!

As he calculated, Jun Mo Xie could not help but to sigh lightly in his heart… Every second and minute from now on must count for something!

Cao Guo Feng and the others rushed forward with Jun Mo Xie in the middle. Through his spiritual sense, he could tell that they were rushing toward a huge hall.

On both sides of the road, there were numerous rows of private residences. Green trees could be seen everywhere, and there was a su, and clouds in the sky… the cries of people hawking their wares could be heard from all sides. To think that there was even a market…

Jun Mo Xie could not help but to exclaim in his heart. My goodness!

The things in the Misty Illusory Manor were actually no different from the outside world.

Just as Young Master Jun was filled with wonder and shock, Cao Guo Feng had already brought him and charged into the great hall.

“Palace Lord! Please look at this child… you must save him! This child has the Free and Natural Physique of the legends! The one in a million Free and Natural Physique!” Cao Guo Feng’s words had just rang out, and the noisy great hall instantly fell into silence!

Then with a frenzied whooshing sound, a crowd rushed over as they examined the ‘unconscious’ Jun Mo Xie as if they were looking at a rare treasure.

Free and Natural Physique!

Just there four words were already enough to cause everyone here to lose their calm!

That was a legendary physique that only the Nine Nether First Young Master had! Speaking harshly, even a stalk of ginseng that had gained spirituality and transformed into a human would not have as great a potential as the Free and Natural Physique!

A hand was placed against Jun Mo Xie’s wrist as a gentle energy coursed through his body. After revolving a few rounds around his veins, Jun Mo Xie clearly felt the wisp of Qi shake for a moment. From the looks of it, the shock that the person had received was not small.

Cao Guo Feng exclaimed with worry. “Palace Lord… y-you… please be gentler! This child is too weak right now; he cannot cannot the Xuan Qi impact!”

Hearing this, Jun Mo Xie naturally complemented like the good actor he was. Coughing lightly, his body trembled as a line of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth…

Following that, the gentle energy instantly exited from his body. A pair of eyes scanned his body excitedly as a voice rang out. “Indeed! The meridians areas empty as bamboo, and his body is like jade even without reaching Spirit Xuan. His dantian is also as clear as a lake! This.. is indeed the Free and Natural Physique of the legends! My god… quick quick quick, bring the Seven Colored Holy Fruit over quickly…”

As soon as those words rang out, the sound of a person running off could be heard.

The person who was speaking surrounded Jun Mo Xie and walked around him a few times, rubbing his hands excitedly. Jun Mo Xie could clearly hear the irritating sound of old skin rubbing together as the voice grew ever more agitated. “Free and Natural Physique… it’s really the Free and Natural Physique! The ancestors are protecting us; our Misty Illusory Manor is finally going to rise again! This old man is definitely going to take this talented child in as a personal disciple to groom! If the child is not taught properly and led astray by an inept teacher, wouldn’t it be a great pity?”

Hearing this, Bai Qi Feng and the rest stared at each other speechlessly, while Cao Guo Feng’s mouth and eyes hung wide open in a dumb manner…
