1193 Its Over? No! (2/2)

The three Saint Venerables and two Saint Emperors who'd luckily avoided being frozen by the Xuan Ice and burned to ashes were all standing dumbly by the side, as thought their souls had already fled from their bodies. From start to end, they had never moved at all!

Gu Han's face was extremely complicated as he led everyone and walked over.

Jun Mo Xie stood up slowly, his face as white as a sheet of paper. His five viscera and six bowels ached as if they'd been torn apart, and his head felt as if it was being stabbed by countless tiny little knives. All his meridians felt as if they were about to collapse completely. His bones seemed to be on fire.

But Jun Mo Xie's face was still as calm and emotionless as before. His back was straight, and he looked refined as a painting.

”Senior Gu, you don't look too good, ah. The grand battle is before us; we should have a good rest first. Senior Gu's strength could be said to be the top in Xuan Xuan, and it would be a great detriment to our continent's side if you cannot participate due to sickness.” Jun Mo Xie said with a faint smile.

Doesn't look too good? He had watched 42 of his brothers being killed in front of him, and he could not stop the tragedy at all. How would Gu Han's expression be good right now?

And what dogsh*t 'top in Xuan Xuan' was that? If he was truly the 'top in Xuan Xuan', would this brat dare to be so arrogant? As for resting… where would he have the mood to rest right now? Not to mention that he wasn't sick; even if he was sick, he must still endure! Even if he had to die, he must only do so in the decisive war against the strange races!

Truthfully, the respect that Jun Mo Xie held towards Gu Han was indeed from his heart. From that sunken look on his face and that bloodied lip from clenching his teeth too hard, it was easy to see. How would Gu Han not feel anything about those brothers of his? He'd known them for hundreds of years as well! He cared about them, and he cared very deeply about them!

However, for the sake of the big picture, Gu Han still chose to watch helplessly by the side!

This was not cowardice. It was a rare and difficult courage!

The pain and struggle in Gu Han's heart was definitely not inferior to Xia Chang Tian! In fact, it might be even more fervent!

At least, Xia Chang Tian still had an outlet to vent his feelings, saying whatever he wanted to say and do what he wanted to do. But Gu Han could only bury everything into his heart and force a smile onto his face!

Ultimately, it was his brothers who'd done wrong first, so they needed to bear responsibility! Against Jun Mo Xie's power, for the sake of the continent, for the sake of the people, Gu Han could only close his eyes and do nothing!

Jun Mo Xie had already decided long ago that if Gu Han and the three Holy Lands truly stepped out to obstruct him and protect their own people, he would immediately take his troops and return to Tian Fa Forest without turning back!

What kind of joke would that be? Could it be that this daddy is mission bound to protect the continent? If I can't even protect my brothers, how will I talk about protecting the whole world? Bullsh*t! 'The good of the world? Even more bullsh*t!

Is this Young Master so bored as to use the lives of my brothers to crack jokes? Tian Fa has already given too much to this continent!

Still, Gu Han had not disappointed Jun Mo Xie again!

”Manor Lord Jun! It's excessive! Too excessive! Your methods were too excessive!” Gu Han seemed to have aged a hundred years in a mere instant. His wrinkles, the white hair on his head, suddenly grew much more pronounced. His previous graceful and elegant look had disappeared and he seemed like a completely different person.

”Excessive? Was it truly too excessive?” Jun Mo Xie smiled in a strange way. ”No! It is still not sufficient!” He pointed at the remaining five people: ”Aren't those people still not dead?! The murderers had been brought to justice, but hadn't those accomplices still not given me an account yet?”

”Manor Lord Jun, could it be that you will only be happy once you've killed them all??” Gu Han's beard flew up in rage as he stared at Jun Mo Xie. ”Jun Mo Xie, can't you spare just a bit of thought for the upcoming grand battle? And save us a little more strength!”

Those words already bordered on pleading!

Hearing that, the rage in Jun Mo Xie's heart rose again. Now you know how to think about the upcoming grand battle? Then why didn't that Xia Chang Tian think about this earlier? If he'd lent his assistance, would the Eagle Tribe suffer such heavy losses? Would the eight Saint Venerable Seniors all perish? Would Eagle King have had to sacrifice himself?

But…

Jun Mo Xie stared silently back at Gu Han, none of them speaking.

Gu Han's eyes were filled with pain, and a trace of imploration.

Jun Mo Xie's heart moved, and he finally sighed lightly. ”Since the main culprits have already died, I don't have the interest to tangle around with small characters right now. I'll let them off temporarily. But after the grand battle, these five must still give me an account! Such selfish and black hearted behaviours cannot be condoned no matter what!”

Saying that, he turned around swiftly and snorted. ”I will not kill them for now! But if they are still alive after the battle, there are two choices. First, come before the graves of my brothers and take their own lives as atonement. Second, come before the graves of my brothers and kowtow to apologize! Of course, they can choose to escape into the deep mountains, and gamble on whether or not they will be able to escape my pursuit!”
