296 Xiao Family’s Plans and Arrangements (1/2)
Six Spirit Xuan experts, seven Sky Xuan peak experts, and two Sky Xuan mid-level experts! This was a very frightful force from the Tian Xiang City's standards!
Why did the Silver Blizzard City send so many experts? — Jun Mo Xie's butt could think of an answer to this question… This force had been assembled to deal with the Jun Family; who else could it be for? They had mobilized this force since one of the 'Eight Great Masters'— The Solitary Eagle — had taken residence with the Jun Family.
If such power was coordinated properly — it could be used to defeat the Solitary Eagle!
Jun Mo Xie carefully controlled his Yin Yang Escape and entered the building. Then, he silently hid himself in the ground.
He couldn't focus on his main target at this time since it was of paramount importance to understand the true objectives of those experts from the Silver Blizzard City. He would learn their true objectives, and then quickly devise some countermeasures to neutralize the enemy's strength.
Otherwise, the consequences of this situation would be very troublesome…
He hadn't expected that his 'moment of greed' would reward him with such important information. Jun Mo Xie sighed from his underground location, [man, my greed is very rewarding. Would I have stumbled upon this information if I hadn't followed after my greed? Didn't I just stumble upon the proverbial 'Pie in the Sky'?]
[The heavens favor the good. This Young Master's good actions substitute the heaven's justice. I punish the wicked, and so my good deeds pave a bridge to my success… Would the heavens strongly favor this Young Master if I hadn't done noble deeds? Humph? Humph…]
”What for…? Don't tell me that wretched cripple is acting up again? I think it's best to take this opportunity and destroy the very roots of this disease! Otherwise we'll have to deal with a prolonged problem!” Not much could be determined from the voice. However, it seemed to be full of resentment and defiance. Therefore, the speaker must've been Xiao Han.
”Such impudence…! We're from the upper echelons of the Silver Blizzard City. Yet, you dare to question our word? It seems that you can't distinguish between our ranks!”
A somewhat gentle voice scolded, ”Would we be in such a mess if it weren't for a 'devil' like who willfully started a fire and fanned the flames? The Silver Blizzard City's situation had been tumbled by your actions. If the Dong Fang Family hadn't acted-out, killed our members, and diverted the public anger — I'm afraid that the Supreme Alliance itself would've tried to meddle in that affair! And your willful actions would've been the root cause of that chaos! And, you're still resigned to the destruction of the Silver Blizzard City?”
”Can the insignificant Jun Family ever destroy the Silver Blizzard City? Why are you blaming me for this, Grandfather? How did start any trouble? He tried to steal my wife! He started this animosity between us! Please tell me, which man on earth could ever stand this insult?” Xiao Han asked somewhat emotionally.
[Grandfather? Xiao Han's grandfather? Isn't he the top-most individual in the Silver Blizzard City's Xiao Family?] However, he didn't know whether that person was Xiao Xing Yun or Xiao Bu Yu. The Young Master Jun held his breath and stayed calm. He remained motionless as he continued to eavesdrop. Hit-man Jun carefully listened to all sorts of voices… whether loud or faint… without any exception or negligence.
”But you've already destroyed the four important members of the Jun Family, and the backbone of their power! And Jun Wu Yi was crippled because of a 'devil' like you! What more do you want? Do you intend to show no kindness to the dogs and the chicken in their family?” The gentle voice scolded with some resentment and disappointment, ”And what of the present circumstances? The Xue Hun Manner and Shi Chang Xiao have issued a joint summon; is that trivial to you? We should be hurrying towards the south. And, now you 'little devil' are delaying us with your quarrel over a nonsensical grudge…?”
[I have to admit… this person's way of dealing with matters is impressive. At least Xiao Han can't stand up to it.]
”Now that you mentioned that matter — I've remembered another one. These two matters are somewhat related. I request Grandfather to pay heed.” Xiao Han's spirits seemed to rise, ”We received a small scroll when we were at the Imperial Palace today. There was very little content on it. It said that Jun Wu Yi would lead the army which would go south to confront the Xuan Beast uprising. Grandfather, it would be better if we…”
”Employing common soldiers to deal with the Xuan Beast uprising?” The gentle voice suddenly paused… as if in contemplation. Then it spoke again, ”Ah! Good… if this is the case… then this is truly an opportunity… perhaps…”
”Second Brother… that scroll does present us with an opportunity, but we must remember the summon! They've called all the Great Masters to arms! This means that the Solitary Eagle may go south! And in all probability… he would be accompanying Jun Wu Yi throughout the journey. The Solitary Eagle won't be easy to deal with even if we can handle Jun Wu Yi with ease. Then, the problem will continue to go around in circles. Therefore, I beseech the Second Brother to focus only on Solitary Eagle. He's the core of our problems!”
[Second Brother? It seems like it's the Xiao Family's second in hierarchy — Xiao Bu Yu!]
”You're right! That old Solitary Eagle deserves a corresponding reply since he has decided to stick his head out! How could we back away from avenging the Sixth Brother?!”
Xiao Bu Yu's gentle voice was brimming with killing intent, ”We'll wait for an ideal opportunity when we get to the south. First — the six of us and the Seven Swords — we thirteen will coordinate and kill the Solitary Eagle. Then, we can decide whether we'd need to tidy-up Jun Wu Yi or not. In any case, everything will become clear to us once we get rid of the Solitary Eagle. In fact, we can easily finish this matter — given that area's natural threat — once we've suppressed the Xuan Beasts' uprising.”
”So, the Second Brother is suggesting that we wait and deal with this matter after the Xuan Beasts' uprising is handled?” It was an old and familiar sound. Jun Mo Xie listened to it, and determined that it belonged to the Third Elder.
