369 The Killing Blow! The Aftermath! (2/2)

And, the thought of this had left everyone somewhat panic-stricken.

[What would we do if the Jun Family retaliates?]

Then, everyone simultaneously came up with the same idea… [We must be friendly with the Jun Family! We will inform our Family of this matter the moment we get back. Then, we'll quickly draw up a charter, and rush to the Tian Xiang City. We shall then strive to win a favorable impression from the Jun Family…]

[Please don't retaliate against us… we won't dare to provoke the kind of strength you possess!]

Naturally, there were many who had thicker skin. These people had already rushed to gain Jun Wu Yi's friendship. They had pondered for a moment, and had then rushed towards the Third Master Jun. They were presently circled around him like flies trying to make a huge swarm.

Every kind of speech was spoken in attempts to fawn in order to win his favor. The succession of these words was rather unbroken. And, every kind of praise and words of fawn were spoken as they bootlicked. These words irrigated Jun Wu Yi's ears like the water from a massive river, and irritated him to no end. Jun Wu Yi was a straightforward man. So, he felt a headache as he listened to all of this. It was a struggle for him. However, he had no choice but to be very careful in dealing with these people.

It had to be said that this astonishing news would cause a huge and widespread shock once it had spread out in the days to come. The Jun Family's position and safety was quite assured thereafter. In fact, it had to be said that even the thunders couldn't shake it anymore!

No one would dare to provoke the anger of that exceedingly strong and terrifying man. Therefore, no one would mess with the Jun Family. And, there would be no exceptions to this!

The people from the Xiao Family of the Silver Blizzard City were obviously the most terrified ones present on the scene. Xiao Bu Yu's face seemed like it had been drowned in water. Well, the pressure on his face left him to feel as such. [Will the Silver Blizzard City's strength be enough to bear that mysterious man's revenge? I genuinely can't say…]

The mysterious man had spoken, ”Someone is responsible for every grievance. And, there is a debtor for every debt”. Those words had carried a hint of warning and hatred in them. How could Xiao Bu Yu not catch this fact with the decades of experience he possessed? That mysterious man wanted Jun Wu Yi to seek justice for himself… And, everyone present had been able to understand this rather clearly…

However, the main issue was still the same. What could the Xiao Family do if Jun Wu Yi decided to seek revenge? ”Someone is responsible for every grievance. And, there is a debtor for every debt”. This statement would apply to us if we're not careful while getting rid of Jun Wu Yi. That mysterious man would be moved to personally act if we…]

[However, wouldn't facing Jun Wu Yi's hatred be akin to coaxing a darling baby? We could support the baby with our hands, but the baby might just put our hand into his mouth and chew on it. Wouldn't we need to be very careful?]

[What the hell is this?!]

Xiao Han turned and looked at Jun Wu Yi. He suddenly felt great pressure in his chest. He felt like he was dying. It was an unbearable pain. This man was his mortal enemy. He loathed him to the extreme. This man was someone he had even dreamt of killing! This man had merely been a plaything to him. But, how did this man suddenly become so impressive at this time?

[I may wish to deal with him, but the Family will be bound to reconsider my matter! The Family wouldn't wish to offend that person… even if the Lord of the City's doesn't issue a strict order!]

[So, what should I do? Yao… is mine! Mine!]

There was a hint of hysteria in Xiao Han's eyes. His body suddenly came to the verge of collapse. He let out a cry as he spat a mouthful of blood. And then, he stood up obstinately. He stared at Jun Wu Yi without blinking, and his expression became increasingly cold and crazy.

[Jun Wu Yi! It doesn't matter who's backing you! I wish to kill you! And, I will kill you!]

A scream resounded in the air as Long Crane let go of Li Teng Yun's shattered body. The boy then fell down with a cry of shock. He had dropped from a height of hundreds of meters!

There was an explosive sound as people below scrambled to get out of the way. They effectively left a vast area vacant on the ground.

A thousand people would've rushed forward to catch Li Teng Yun if he had been dropped some time ago. However, he had turned into a 'hot potato' at this time. Who would dare to help him? Who would agree to do it?

”Bang!”

Li Teng Yun's body fell to the ground, and a large pool of watery blood splashed around. His body had been turned into a pile of flesh. Every bone from his body was sent flying. Even his fingers hadn't remained attached to his arms.

That miserable scene made everyone's heart jump and beat loudly.

Venerable Mei waved her sleeves, and turned around to leave. She roared, ”You people must remember today's terms! We shall say farewell at this point, but I'm sure that we'll meet again!”

She hadn't specifically mentioned the name of any person. But, Lei Bao Yu and Bu Kuang Feng understood that she had referred to the two of them. So, they respectfully replied, ”Don't worry, Respected Senior! The words of a man of character carry a lot of weight! So, it's important that we adhere to the terms since we've been defeated. We won't go back on our word!”

Venerable Mei chuckled and sneered, ”Who will dare to go back on their word?” Those words had been laced with threats.

Lai Bao Yu and his companion looked at each other, and forced a smile.

Venerable Mei shifted her gaze as she turned around. However, she couldn't even detect Jun Mo Xie's shadow at the place he had earlier stood. [It seems that the brat slipped away like a rat after I removed the strength of the World Cage…]

She thought about this for a moment. Then, she suddenly turned around and walked towards Jun Wu Yi. Everyone who had flocked around him saw her fluttering black robes as she made her way. So, they scatter to the distance… as if they had seen a devilish curse approach.

Jun Wu Yi finally relaxed and breathed out. He felt his entire body sweating profusely. He hadn't been fazed in the face of a mountain of blades… or woods of corpses… or even oceans of blood. But, facing a torrent of flattery had made it difficult for him to breathe.

Those people couldn't even look him in the eye for a short of period of time. But, dealing with them had unexpectedly left him to feel even more tired than he would after an arduous battle.

Jun Wu Yi cupped his fist and smiled as Venerable Mei came over, ”Venerable Mei has come over. How have I been so fortunate with your presence?”

”Your nephew's moves are quite wonderful. He's quite a talent.” Venerable Mei didn't beat around the bush. She spoke in a very straightforward manner, ”This senior would like to take-him-on as a disciple. What do you say, Commander Jun?”

Jun Wu Yi was prepared since he had guessed their purpose. However, he still couldn't help his mind going blank when he heard those words. He became extremely happy for a moment. But, he suddenly recalled Jun Mo Xie's bewildering temperament the next moment. He nevertheless smiled and replied, ”Venerable Mei, it's a great fortune for that brat that you look upon him. This Jun doesn't have any opinion on this. However, my Jun Family is very open-minded, and Mo Xie had mostly been self-disciplined. So, he's very opinionated. But, my Jun Family will have no problems in case Venerable Mei truly wishes to take him in… if Mo Xie agrees to it.”

”Self-disciplined…” Venerable Mei was stunned. She seemingly couldn't comprehend those words. It seemed from her tone that she had heard something 'outlandish'. But, she came to herself soon enough, and replied from behind her clenched teeth while she smiled on the surface, ”Not bad, not bad… very good… Ah! Self-disciplined… very good…”

However, she was cursing inside. [That despicable and shameless brat can be considered, ”Self-disciplined?” Where's this coming from?!]

”I have my own means if that's the case.” Venerable Mei was full of disdain. [This commander can look me in the eye and talk nonsense… he's your nephew! How can you boast and overhype him?]

”But, do you not know where your nephew is?” Venerable Mei asked solemnly. She was literally on the verge of raining curses. However, she stood in the face of a legend of the recent past — the genuinely unwavering Blood General. Therefore, she suppressed her anger. She would've been raining curses at this time under usual circumstances…

”Mo Xie… uh?” Jun Wu Yi was about to say something. But then, he thought and replied, ”Wasn't Mo Xie at your side a moment ago?”

”Ah, I had gone to face my opponents a while back. But, your nephew wasn't there by the time I returned.” Venerable Mei's spoke in a manner that concealed the redness of her face, and the fact that she was panting, ”Your nephew and I had a very joyous conversation…”

Lei Bao Yu and Bu Kuang Feng had arranged for everyone's withdrawal whilst these two people were engaged in a conversation. In fact, everyone had seen Venerable Mei and Jun Wu Yi engage in a 'joyous' conversation. And, everyone else had remained silent out of fear. The Jun Family had added more glory to its name as a result.

No one dared to disturb these two individuals, and they left the place in silence. In fact, more than half the hilltop had been emptied in a very short period of time.

The Xuan Beasts had also retreated into the Tian Fa forest. Only a few Beast Kings had stayed behind to watch over Venerable Mei. They seemed very concerned.

The sounds faded away, and a sense of serenity spread over the wooded valley once again. Lei Bao Yu smiled lightly, and spoke-up while cupping his fist, ”Venerable Mei and all the Beast Kings… we're all noble and far-reaching beings. So, I'm sure that we'll meet again. We two brothers have to return to the palace in order to submit our report. So, we must say farewell at this time.”

Venerable Mei nodded slightly. She was about to speak when a majestic body suddenly came rushing from behind her. It then shouted loudly, ”The provosts of the Elusive World of Immortals are truly awesome! They are leaving before they can eat my punch!”

The sound of the rustling of a celestial wind was heard at the same time. This was followed by a thunderous noise. In fact, it seemed as if a cloud had fallen to the ground. Then, a sharp voice was heard. This voice seemed so angered that it seemed as if it would murder anyone who didn't clear away from it's path, ”This one also thinks that the provosts of the Elusive World of Immortals are extremely ferocious!”

It was the Bear King, Big Bear. And, the Crane King, Long Crane!

Everyone was aware that the two Beast Kings didn't wish to obstruct or kill the two former Great Masters. They merely desired to create a dispute for the next time. This would set-up the platform to compare their Xuan strengths at the designated time, and see how much they differed by…

Who could say how the strengths of the Tian Fa's Lord's underlings would fare against the Elusive World of Immortals'?

Lei Bao Yu found their words unfathomable words. In fact, Lei Bao Yu and Bu Kuang Feng had harbored the same idea. But, how would these beasts get another opportunity once these two had left?

Then, a screech was heard. After that, a graceful and delicate figure started to spin. The Snake King had moved into action!

Lei Bao Yu and Bu Kuang Feng smiled as they looked-on. They had seemingly not even seen those two's moves. The purple-gold swords at their hips didn't even seem to move. But, something dazzling suddenly flash around them, and the sky was instantly filled with a brilliant downpour of starry objects. It appeared like a heavy rainstorm. And then, a bewildering and whimpering echo arose as another storm picked up. It turned everything into a spectacular mess as it flew through the coarse rocks.

The attacks of the three Beast Kings were sharp, but it became difficult for their attacks to make quick progress in this storm.

These two were world-shaking swordsmen — the Rainstorm and Hurricane Masters. They were the Greatest Masters of their generation. Their Xuan cultivations were extremely high, and their co-ordination was flawless. In fact, it nearly doubled their individual might!

A clear sound echoed as Long Crane rose up, and laughed, ”You deserve the titles of the Rainstorm and Hurricane Master. You are indeed very admirable!”

A clear whistle was heard as Bu Kuang Feng replied, ”Tian Fa also deserves its formidable reputation! We'll meet after three years! Farewell!”

They were already a kilometer away when they had said their farewells.

These five individuals had exchanged a blow. And, they had retreated after that. It seemed that the five people — the two men and the three Beast Kings — were on an equal-footing at the first glance. But, the three Beast Kings had well-realized that the advantage lay in the hands of their counterparts.

[The Elusive World of Immortals is very difficult to deal with!]

The three Beast Kings must've been startled by this. But, Venerable Mei had foreseen the conclusion to that confrontation. Therefore, she had paid no heed to it. She merely frowned and took a step as she strolled forward. Her heart was immersed in an entirely different train of thought… [Jun Mo Xie… where has that little bastard escaped to…? I've even used my Spiritual Sense. So, why can't I find him? What's the reason for all this?]
