296 Xiao Family’s Plans and Arrangements (2/2)

”That's right! Every Great Master has been summoned this time. So, if we make a move and attack a Great Master before the matter in the south is taken care of… I fear the rest of the Great Masters would attack the Silver Blizzard City in return. Therefore, we'll handle him after this situation is taken care of.” Xiao Bu Yu spoke with a dark mental-frame.

”Besides, there's that matter of the origins and abilities of that black clothed 'masked man'.” Xiao Bu Yu spoke in an even gentler manner, ”He snatched our Xiao Family's Soul Replenishing Jade despite our status. He'll understand its importance soon. Then, he'll become aware of the jade being worn by Feng Wu. So, he'll come to snatch it as well. This will happen because Feng Wu will be alone. We'll make it as convenient for him as possible.”

He smiled darkly again, ”There may be a chance of casualties if the Jade is in possession of an Elder. So, we can't risk it. However, Feng Wu will be an easy target, and he's unlikely to feel threatened. Therefore, he won't harm the boy. This Old Man has already mastered the Divine Inhibition. I can lock onto his soul's scent for 500kms. Xiang Sun will remain on stand-by at all times. Therefore, he won't be able to escape us once he has stolen the Jade. We'll find him even if he escapes to the ends of the earth! Then, we can concentrate our strength, catch-up with him, and resolve the matter in one fell swoop. We'll be able to retrieve both the Soul Replenishing Jades this manner!”

”Good idea, Second Brother!” Everyone's spirit rose when they heard the plan. However, Jun Mo Xie was stunned. [That's their plan? They've conceded so easily?]

It had to be said that this plan of Xiao Bu Yu's would've been very effective in dealing with anyone. Even Yun Bie Chen wouldn't be able to see through it. However, it was worthless in Jun Mo Xie's eyes…

This plan seemed like a 'honey-trap', but it was being used on a castrated man. This analogy sounds vulgar… but the result of the matter would justify it.

Suddenly, many elders cried in alarm, ”Second Brother, you can use the Devine Inhibition?! Have you stepped into the fourth level of the Spirit Xuan realm!”

”He he…” Xiao Bu Yu's voice clearly revealed his complacence. ”I'm ashamed that it took nearly ten years to make this breakthrough. However, this is the reason why I'm confident that I'll be able to capture that mysterious 'masked man'.”

”Congratulations on the remarkable feat, Second Brother!” Everyone spoke in unison. However, Jun Mo Xie laughed in his heart. [Confidence? You speak of confidence in front of this Young Master? How can you behave like that? Your Devine Inhibition is limited to five hundred kilometers. That's worth a fart to this Young Master.]

”Ahem… no one is to allow any information out if we're able to deal with the Jun Family successfully… understood?” Power radiated from Xiao Bu Yu's eyes as he looked around.

”That's obvious! Otherwise, the Lord of the City will blame everyone, and the consequences will be very unpleasant. Besides, the Jun Family has the Dong Fang Family behind them. So, everyone will carry out their tasks stealthily.” Everybody chuckled as they discussed this.

This made Jun Mo Xie very angry. [This Xiao Family is very malevolent! This Young Master will see who exterminates whose roots when we're all in the south.]

”Second Brother, about this matter with the Xuan Beasts… It's apparently a very unusual occurrence. Is it possible that the Kings of the Tian Fa forest have decided to meddle in this matter?[1] How can there be such a huge commotion otherwise? Every Great Masters has been summoned. Second Brother, which 'Eight Great Masters' do you reckon will answer to this summon?” This was the voice of the Ninth Elder.

”That isn't very difficult to judge. No one has seen tracks of Yun Bie Chen for many years. I'm afraid it'll be the same this time around. And then, the Great Blue Master Meng Hong Chen lives too far from the Tian Fa forest. He most probably won't be able to go even if he receives the news on time. However, the Cold Blooded Master — Lei Wu Bei — and the Solitary Eagle will go for sure. After all, they're right here in Tian Xiang City. They won't be able to turn their backs even if they wanted to. Also, the one who gave these supreme summonses — Shi Chang Xiao — is already at the Xue Hun Manner. Li Jue Tian will probably return to his Manor since this threatens his family the most. I roughly estimate that four out of the Eight Great Masters will go. As for the Silver Blizzard City… we will go and represent our lord. And perhaps, we'll be the most powerful in the terms of comprehensive strength. And as for Great Master Wen Tian — I cannot say. He may go, or he may not go. But I think the strength of this tyrannical gathering will be enough to deal with the Xuan Beast uprising even without Master Wen Tian's addition,” Xiao Bu Yu's smile exhibited great confidence.

”It's just that this Xuan Beast uprising is very strange. Some say that they are directly attacking the Xue Hun Manner. Second Brother, I don't recall the Tian Fa Forest and the Xue Hun Manner having any cause for quarrel.” The Third Elder frowned.

”There must be a reason behind the Xuan Beasts' decision to leave Tian Fa and attack the Xue Hun Manner. We'll get to know this after we've arrive there,” Xiao Bu Yu spoke faintly. The look in his eyes showed that he didn't desire to discuss it further.

Everyone was silent.

Everyone was confused about the reason behind the Xuan Beasts' uprising. However, stationed underground, Jun Mo Xie had a rough idea as to why…

The Young master Jun smiled bitterly.

[If I've guess it right… I may have a lot to do with this Xuan Beasts' uprising.]
