Otherworldly Evil Monarch

A look of contempt flashed across Bai Qi Feng’s eye. “Although letting a youth enter the Heaven Saint Palace as a guardian is an incredulous matter that is completely unheard of, this youth has the Free and Natural Physique that has never been heard of in all of history… If they are able to get this person, the Heaven Saint Palace will definitely be willing to make an exception. There is no doubt about this!”

Next door, Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu looked at each other dumbstruck.

Although this Bai Qi Feng was arrogant and egocentric, but he was not wrong in his analysis. The two of them were planning on this.

After this, the words from next door could no longer be heard. Clearly, Bai Qi Feng obediently lowered his volume knowing that there was no point in his provocation. After all, the conversation involved many secrets relating to the Misty Illusory Manor that mustn’t be known by people from the three Holy Lands. With Cao Guo Feng’s powerful barrier, Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu who were way inferior to this Saint Emperor in cultivation could no longer hear the conversation…

“What will subsequently follow will be even easier to predict. Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu may have agreed to Zhan Mu Bai on the surface, but they’d definitely report to the Heaven Saint Palace at the same time!” Bai Qi Feng chuckled. “Boss Cao, as long as the three Holy Lands send more than these people present here, or perhaps if people from the Heaven Saint Palace come, this theory is completely valid. Even if it is not a hundred percent true, it will be at least eighty percent accurate.

“The result: The experts from the Heaven Saint Palace came and kidnapped the lad. And the greatest possibility is that they sent two experts. One leaving with the boy, and the other luring us away with the second son of the Chen Family and killing him with one strike at the crucial timing to make the Misty Illusory Manor give up hopes completely… Even if the seniors from the Misty Illusory Manor come afterwards, they can easily push them away with a single sentence of ‘the boy is already dead’.”

“Makes sense! He had originally thought that the head had been smashed, so no one will be able to recognize him. If Zhan Mu Bai becomes the scapegoat of this, or even if they sacrifice Zhan Mu Bai to appease this matter, it would be worthwhile. It is all worth if as long as they get that boy. But the head of Chen Family had unexpectedly recognized the real identity of that corpse from a single birthmark. This matter definitely ruined their plans and instead gave themselves away, allowing us to conjecture the truth of the matter!” Cao Guo Feng said.

Although he said ‘conjecture the truth’, but his brows knitted even more tightly. If it really was the case, then this disciple was really out of his grasp now…

“It is not necessarily entirely impossible to snatch him back!” Bai Qi Feng could tell Cao Guo Feng’s worries. He chuckled and said, “How can our disciple be so easily snatched away by them? We may not necessarily do anything about this matter.”

“What’s the plan?” Everyone asked collectively.

“The Misty Illusory Manor has always been a single entity, unlike three Holy Lands who constantly dwell in the conflict of interests between each other. As long as we report this situation, then have the Lord of the Manor step in and mediate and request for this child to be returned to us. After that, we make another request to the Lord to accept this disciple under us… You are all aware, the Lord doesn’t care about this. As long as the person is in the Misty Illusory Manor, he wouldn’t bother whose sect is he really under, as long as it belongs to the Misty Illusory Manor. Even if the Lord wants this lad, then there is also no big deal in letting the child accept another Master. It will still be better than letting that child go to waste or turn into our opponent…”

“That is a way of going about it…” Cao Guo Feng frowned and considered the feasibility of this solution carefully.

“Only that in this way, this will definitely cause conflicting views between the Misty Illusory Manor and the three Holy Lands. But… from today onwards, the conflict between both parties is already irreconcilable. There is no harm even if we offend them again. Besides, things can be talked about more easily between them seniors. Furthermore, Boss Cao has been carrying all the matters of the Misty Illusory Manor for all these years, working hard and delivering great work. The Lord will have to give this face no matter what, or else wouldn’t it chill everyone’s heart? And needless to say, if that child really lands in the hands of the three Holy Lands, he is very likely to become a great enemy of the Misty Illusory Manor in the future!”

Cao Guo Feng’s eyes began to regain its clarity as he listened. Finally, he clapped his hands and said, “Indeed! It is true! Qi Feng’s head is truly more witty; I was so troubled earlier that I could barely eat…”

Bai Qi Feng laughed. “Boss, you were just as confused as Old Zhan, precisely because you cared too much, you couldn’t see through the complexities within… Whereas I am different, and you guys know that I’m someone who is always heartless…”

Everyone burst out in laughter, feeling much more relaxed. They had regained hope in seizing this disciple with the Free and Natural Physique back.

They had even began to discuss the details, like how to avoid the three Holy Lands and report this matter back to the Lord of the Manor as quickly as possible. Their volumes naturally began to turn softer and softer.

These were all the real secrets; if they were overheard by outsiders, it’d really ruined everything. Although the two Saint Emperors next door had gathered their strongest skills, utilizing the senses of their bodies to the fullest, almost to the point that their ears were about to stand up, they still couldn’t hear a single thing. They sighed.

The seven Saint Emperors were discussing together, but Bai Qi Feng had something else on his mind. Although he did not talk about it, but he really felt extremely indignant inside. This rare, good disciple is gone just like this; although I’d vented much anger by giving that Zhan Mu Bai a good trashing, but from the looks of the current situation, Zhan Mu Bai is actually also a victim. Those two real culprits Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu actually dared to keep tabs on us, and we cannot do anything about it… What is this? This is too insufferable!

How can this anger be vented if we don’t show them some color?! If we really swallowed this grievance, then wouldn’t that let them think that the people from the Misty Illusory Manor are great pushovers?

Even though Boss Cao is full of rage, but he still thinks of the greater picture and is unwilling to completely fall out and blow this matter up… If this continues, how can this anger be vented?… With a twinkle in his eye, Bai Qi Feng secretly came up with a plan. Didn’t they claim to have accepted Zhan Mu Bai’s bribes? This Saint Emperor shall let them waste their efforts!

Just at this moment, Young Master Jun had secretly arrived, landing silently in the inn. He did not directly land on the roof, but instead, came to a halt when he was a bit away from the roof.

These were Saint Emperors. Although he was in the concealed form of the Yin Yang Escape, if he landed directly on the roof, he would probably be discovered if it had caused the slightest anomaly in the movement of the air. With how uptight those few Saint Emperors were, they’d notice any slightest movement. If he really got caught by them, it’d be horrible.

It was better to avoid any possible accidents. Better to be safe than sorry!

After putting on his guard, Jun Mo Xie released his spiritual sense without hesitation, tossing it all out!

Young Master Jun allowed his spiritual sense to shoot into the sky, before spreading out midair, silently covering the entire inn. The countless spiritual sense had formed a gigantic net that encompassed the entire inn, leaving nothing out.

This was the unique technique of Jun Mo Xie. In fact, only the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune was capable of creating such a powerful and undetectable spiritual sense. Even Saint Emperors were incapable of noticing it.

The spiritual sense giant net silently locked down. Jun Mo Xie instantly locked onto two rooms. He couldn’t help but feel surprised. Could all that Saint Emperors possibly be actually sharing their beds?

He secretly investigated, only to realize that the people from Misty Illusory Manor were having a meeting, and the people from Holy Lands were eavesdropping next door. Young Master Jun almost fainted seeing how sneakily these two strong powers in this world were behaving.

These families had seemingly cooperated for hundreds of years and were finally made to a complete state of distrust by a few tricks by Jun Mo Xie.

This made Jun Mo Xie recall a famous saying: There is no such thing as loyalty, one is only loyal because the bargaining chips for betrayal was not enough! When faced with absolute conflict of interests, even the deepest friendship of hundred years will crumble!

Of course, a big portion of the reason was also attributed to the long-term superficial agreements, although their hearts would think otherwise. Although the matter today also had a great deal in this, but ultimately, the mutual restraining fear of the Holy Lands and Misty Illusory Manor was the real reason that led to this split.

Jun Mo Xie silently floated into one of the rooms. As long as he remained in the supernatural form of the Yin Yang Escape, as long as he didn’t do anything too drastic, no one would be able to notice him! Not even Saint Emperors!

The seven Saint Emperors from the Misty Illusory Manor were gathered in one of the rooms, having their meeting while Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu from Holy Land were in the room next door, on the right, eavesdropping. In other words, on the left, were the rooms of the remaining members of Misty Illusory Manor were residing in. Jun Mo Xie counted—six. On the right, only one room was empty.

Aside from these nine rooms, all the people residing in the other rooms were unrelated to the matter, quickly determined with a quick sweep of the spiritual sense.

The room Jun Mo Xie had entered was the room of He Zhi Qiu of the Supreme Golden City.

He Zhi Qiu was quite a person with the character of an elegant scholar. He often sighed: Life is a dream, how many cool autumns have we experienced? Melancholic and wistful, a poetic, depressed personality. Before he had gained his repute as a Saint Emperor, he was known as ‘Spirit Xuan of Autumn Colors’, then a ‘Venerable of Autumn Colors’. But when he became a Saint Emperor, it became ‘Saint Emperor who knows Autumn’.

When the golden leaves fluttered in the wind, the world was full of autumn!

Autumn Wind Sword, Autumn Wind Palm, Autumn Wind Leg, the Art of Autumn Wind!

The universe quaked under the autumn wind leg, supernatural beings worried when autumn wind palms came out. The art of autumn wind destroyed the universe, autumn arrived in the world with the whistle of the autumn wind sword!

The entire world grieved with one move, was He Zhi Qiu’s signature skill! He had comprehended the skill of the Power of Heaven and Earth: ‘Ten Thousand Li Sorrowful Autumn’!

Jun Mo Xie had just entered the room and instantly knew whose room it was. Because as long as it was a room He Zhi Qiu had resided in, there would automatically be a sense of dread and sorrow that will be left behind! As long as someone entered this room, they’d instantly be in low spirits and feel that life was meaningless.

If this person changed a room everyday, then all the inns in the world would need to close down. Which traveller in the world would be willing to stay in this room full of sorrow and grief? What sort of person was this? He was truly a bizarre person!

Go big or go home! Jun Mo Xie casually swiped a relatively long and narrow luggage that He Zhi Qiu had put at the headboard into the Hongjun Pagoda.

There had to be some value to the luggage of a Saint Emperor no matter what. Young Master Jun felt that he was only earning and not making any losses.Although we don’t care for these small things with our statuses…

But no matter what, we’ll decide after we have gotten a cheap advantage! If there is a ready-made advantage and I don’t take it, aren’t I an idiot already?!

But it had seemed to be too coincidental. In the instant Jun Mo Xie managed to succeed in his plans, there was a small creaking sound. Jun Mo Xie couldn’t help but feel startled. Aren’t these two discussing next door? Don’t they need to discuss after eavesdropping? I thought I was careful enough, but could I really have still been discovered?! So he concealed his aura and hid into the corner, remaining as still as a rock.

The window opened silently. Jun Mo Xie was amused. This Saint Emperor who knows Autumn is really unconventional, to come in from the window even when entering his own room, truly a bizarre person…

Just as he thought of this, he saw a figure flash across and another person appear noiselessly in the room.

Jun Mo Xie almost cried from surprise. This person was silent and sneaky, behaving like a thief, with a tall and lanky built. It was Misty Illusory Manor’s Saint Emperor, Bai Qi Feng!

Bai Qi Feng had a vengeful personality! Although he given Zhan Mu Bai a good beating by a stroke of luck today, and he had barely vented in anger. Then, he was kept on surveillance by two Saint Emperors… Although the two may not necessarily be there monitor them. But Bai Qi Feng interpreted it as they were, especially when Saint Emperor Bai firmly believed that the awkward situation today was orchestrated by these two scoundrels!

So this Saint Emperor Bai wanted to show them some color!

Before the meeting was over, Bai Qi Feng found an excuse and sneaked out. Knowing that He Zhi Qiu and Hai Wu Ya were eavesdropping next door, Bai Qi Feng would naturally go to the place with no one else present. His goal was the thing that Young Master Jun had just swiped into the Hongjun Pagoda: He Zhi Qiu’s luggage!

The room was not that big, he had already looked through the room thoroughly with one glance, but he couldn’t find what he was looking for. Saint Emperor Bai felt frustrated, mumbling to himself. Goddamnit, don’t tell me he even needs to bring his luggage when going next door to eavesdrop? This He Zhi Qiu is too careful? Or maybe he didn’t bring his luggage over and left it in the Chen Manor?

Saint Emperor Bai snorted and silently exited after mumbling a couple of sentences.

Jun Mo Xie had just heaved a sigh of relief and was about to start moving, but a flash of figure appeared again. Bai Qi Feng had returned. His face full of glee, holding a huge plate of leftovers in his hand. There were chicken heads, fish bones ,and vegetables. He pulled the covers and poured it all inside. Gleefully, he uttered, “I’ll let you f*cking experience the cool autumn!”
