298 Femme Fatale? (1/2)
However, who was Li Jue Tian? He was second-only to the most powerful Great Master, Yun Bie Chen. So, wouldn't it be a problem in the future if he handed-over his son under these circumstances? It wasn't that no one from either side came forward to negotiate, but every effort at negotiation was short-lived, and failed miserably. So, each side started to attack in an increasingly vicious manner. Soon, the Xue Hun Manor was completely exhausted, and was about to be wiped-out by the Xuan Beasts; It seemed that they'd become their meal, and later… their excrement.
Therefore, Li Jue Tian and Shi Chang Xiao had no choice but to issue a joint statement, and summoned all Xuan experts in the world to their aid.
And, that's how Jun Mo Xie and the others got to know about the prevailing situation.
This matter had already turned into a big problem…
Everyone was confused as to why such a thing was happening? They wondered as to what could have provoked those two King Xuan Beast.
[They've taken-up arms against the Xue Hun Manor… but why? I don't understand…]
This question not only made everyone gloomy, but also made them feel victimized. Li Jue Tian and the others from the Xue Hun Manor were very confused and angry. [Whom did we provoke? Why has such a heavenly calamity befallen us? Who is behind all this? This is very strange!]
Li Jue Tian had asked Long Crane and Big Bear several times, ”Why? We've lived in peace for so many years. What's more, we've even had business dealings between us. So, why are you suddenly attacking us? Even if we have to fight… can you at least tell me the reason for it?”
Li Jue Tian's question wasn't unreasonable. In fact, it was a very fair question. Shouldn't there be a good reason for the two large forces to go to war?
However, the two King Xuan Beast were unable to answer him every time; [wouldn't it be wrong to tell him that we lost a bet to someone, and your Xue Hun Manor is an eyesore to that person. So, we've had to come here to break your son's legs… nothing more…?]
[Wouldn't we lose a lot of face because of this?]
[It would seem that we've reduced to the status of 'hired thugs'… carrying out the orders of another person.] Being interrogated like that made Big Bear lose his temper; [aren't you the Second Great Master? And, you dare interrogate us like that? Do you know who we are?]
Li Jue Tian didn't inquire further after Big Bear said those words. But, the attacks from both parties became even more ferocious. In fact, if the Xuan Beasts were to retreat at this point… Li Jue Tian would follow them, and raid the Tian Fa forest.
Everyone was annoyed…
Then, Big Bear came up with a classic line and spoke, ”Why not? You're not pleasing to my eyes. I've been watching your Xue Hun Manor for a long time, and I think it needs a spanking! You had bullied the two of us that day, right? Now, we've come with so many beasts in order to bully you; how about it? Fuc*ing old bastard! You were more than 80 at the time, and yet you played with young women to make them beget you a son! Even if you aren't ashamed of this — I, your neighbor — feels extremely embarrassed! So, I've decided to teach you a lesson!”
The hundred-year-old second-strongest Great Master almost vomited blood. After that, the ferocity of the battle between the two sides increased further since the Great Master was extremely outraged to hear those words.
At that point, the two sides reached a point where there was no room for negotiation…
Therefore, innumerable people and Xuan beasts amassed to fight at the risk of their lives. This led to the formation of a huge mountain of corpses, and a sea of blood. But, they didn't understand the reason for this hatred; neither were they aware of the truth behind these events…
Even the architect of this mishap — the Jun Family's Young Master, Jun Mo Xie — was confused and stunned.
[I had only instructed you to wreak havoc, right? But, now I see that you've instigated a world-war!]
[I can't be blamed for this battle! I didn't intend this to happen; I'm innocent!]
Li Jue Tian devoted half-his-life to set-up the Xue Hun Manor. But it was on the verge of destruction. However, if he got to know that the 'real' reason for his predicament was his desire to get a young concubine for his treasured son — it wouldn't be surprising if he turned red with anger and died.
What's a femme fatale? No man could guess this term's meaning under these circumstances. But the corpses of the countless Xuan Beasts, and the blood the innumerable Xuan experts searched for this truth in the heavens above, and eventually came to know about the truth of the matter…
Since time immemorial, there had been legends of beautiful women who had caused problems between countries. However, no woman had ever caused a problem between the human martial world, and the beasts…
Guan Qing Han, this young lady from the Jun Family was unprecedented. She could leave any other woman in the dust!
If a list were to be drawn up regarding this — the Jun Family's young lady, Guan Qing Han would surely be adjudged the number-one 'beauty' in the universe! It was only natural for such beauties to cause a ruckus in successive generations. And, these beauties had one thing in common… they were innocent.
And, she was the most innocent of all!
Guan Qing Han was unaware of this entire matter from the start. She was thousands of kilometers from this place of sorrow and tragedy. So, how would she know that a mountain of corpses was being formed because of her?
