827 On the Verge of Death? Let Me Take A Look! (2/2)
Other people may not know, but how could they not? Mei Xue Yan… she was the only living descendant of the bloodline Tian Fa's Ancestor Saint Emperor Mei had left behind! The only royal blood in the entire Tian Fa Forest! The greatest secret of Tian Fa Forest!
Of all the beasts in Tian Fa, no matter how high their cultivation reached, even if they attained the realm of Saint Emperor, they could only be addressed as 'Beast King'. Only the descendants of the bloodline of Saint Emperor Mei had the rights to be called 'Lord of Tian Fa'!
If Mei Xue Yan had really died back then, then all nine of them could not imagine how it would all unfold! If that ancestor suddenly came of the secret chamber of Tian Fa in a fit of anger… Calling it a calamity would be an understatement of what would follow…
After a long while, they finally calmed down. They asked Jun Mo Xie. ”Little Jun, you are Xue Yan's husband; do you have any plans?”
Jun Mo Xie had already knew, this Saint Emperor Lu, Chasing Wind Deer, and these eight senior Beast Kings: the current Crane Saint King Hazy Crane, Lion Saint King Breaking Stone, Monkey Saint King Brave Monkey, Snake Saint King Innocuous Snake, Panther Saint King Unusual Bun, Tiger Saint King Reckless Tiger, Bear Saint King Thunder Bear, and Wolf Saint King Wind Wolf.
These nine people were the big shots whose reputations shook the whole of Xuan Xuan!
”My plans can be discussed at a later time. But what is most important right now is what plans do the nine of you seniors have?” Jun Mo Xie paused for a while without giving an answer. Instead, he returned it with a question. And although it was not spelt out in the open, everyone understood that Jun Mo Xie was asking these nine seniors what position they considered themselves to be in.
There was no second sun in the sky. There was no second Emperor in a country!
Even for Xuan Beasts!
There was no doubt that the return of these nine people would greatly help Tian Fa. But along with it was a division of the higher powers. There was a major issue in even having two Kings in most species!
In the past few hundred years, Tian Fa had developed an extremely strict management system. The newly appointed Beast King would have the irrefutable, supreme authority of their own species! But now that the senior Beast Kings came out of seclusion, this was a significant blow to the power system!
This issue of position must be resolved immediately!
Otherwise, it would lead to a long-lasting disaster of internal crisis!
To fight the enemies outside, you had to first resolve all internal conflicts. Jun Mo Xie was about to embark on his revenge. Of course, he did not wish to discover internal conflicts in his own camp! So the first thing he had to do was resolve this potential crisis!
”Asking us on what plans we have? The few of us old guys have all suffered great injuries; we will not be around for long. Even if we wish to lead the Beasts again, we are lacking in the strength to do so!”
Deer Chasing Wind laughed bitterly and said, ”The nine of us already discussed this earlier. We will spend the rest of our lives aiding our own species. But! If there is any battle, it must be the nine of us old men to go out there first. We may no longer be as strong as we were, but we are still capable of taking down an enemy of the same level as us. After that, none of the Beast Kings are allowed to recklessly go onto the field. This is the only request we have.”
The other eight Saint King nodded their heads.
Jun Mo Xie, Long Crane, and the other Beast Kings were greatly relieved when they heard this.
With Deer Chasing Wind as representative, purposely saying all these, it was the equivalent of an official handing over of powers between the Beast Kings.
”Mo Xie and the Beast King are completely touched by the loyalty of all the seniors here. But there is one matter that baffles me, and I'd like to seek senior's help in understanding it.” Jun Mo Xie frowned before continuing. ”Senior Lu, back when the nine of you entered the Mist, the lowest cultivation level was that of a Saint King! But in these three hundred over years, the legacy of Xuan Beasts have only reached the level of a Spirit Xuan. The only exception is Xue Yan, who was a Venerable at most, this… what is the reason behind this? It couldn't be that Long Crane, Big Bear and the rest did not work hard enough, right?”
An extremely angered look appeared upon Deer Chasing Wind's face once again. ”Isn't it all part of the ploy of those bastards! Since ancient times, it was Tian Fa's tradition to only pass the real secret techniques to the newly appointed Beast King when they were handing the baton over. It had always been by word of mouth. But that time, we barely had time to impart it and got tricked into entering the Mist… Big Bear, Long Crane, and the rest naturally would not have inherited the techniques that they should have as Beast Kings. How could they become strong? Little Mei was able to reach Venerable level only because she was a natural talent! It's a pity… that she was reverted back to her original form… Why were we so silly back then! To believe in the fancy words of those bastards!”
”I see!” Jun Mo Xie and Long Crane came to realization. No wonder this generation of Tian Fa Beast Kings were so weak. The root of the problem laid here!
”Luckily, you popped out at the crucial timing… Otherwise, if they plundered the entire Tian Fa when we weren't around… Then Tian Fa Forest will really be done for good… How could we face all the ancestors of Tian Fa before us in the nether world…” Deer Chasing Wind said. He seemed even more pleased with Jun Mo Xie.
”You all have suffered…. great injuries and will not be around for long? Is it alright if I take a look?” Jun Mo Xie asked hesitantly.
”There's no harm in letting you take a look, but… this is something that cannot be cured. We have long looked past life and death. But if we can choose not to die, who wouldn't? Furthermore, now that Tian Fa has so many worries, if this bunch of old guys who served as the final barrier are gone, it's difficult with just these few juniors…”
Deer Chasing Wind looked at Long Crane and the other Beast Kings with guilt and worry. Stretching his arm out without bearing much hope, he said, ”The past three hundred and seventy five years, the seal has been eating away at us incessantly. Coupled with the impacts from that lunatic Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, our internal organs are on the verge of collapsing, and our energy is completely exhausted. It's hard for us to last long… and even mentally, we are on the verge of breaking down any moment… Other than waiting for death, what hope can the current us have….Hm? Ah!”
Saint Emperor Lu's tone got more and more sorrowful as he spoke, but towards the end, he seemed to be on the verge of crying. But he suddenly exclaimed! He looked at Jun Mo Xie in complete disbelief, his entire body trembling…
