531 The Coercion of the Three Holy Lands (1/2)
”Bloodshed always has its cause and effect. But, greed is the original sin,” Jun Mo Xie said calmly, ”We won't fear anyone's provocation! I'm not saying this because I have you to keep watch. I wouldn't have feared even if I had only had myself to rely on!” Mei Xue Yan nodded when she heard this. Then, both of them walked out together.
They came to the hall where the Elusive Land of Immortals' people were seated. But, they saw that the people from Illusory Ocean of Blood and the Great Golden City had already arrived, and were waiting for them. Ning Wu Qing of the Elusive Land of Immortals had occupied the head's seat. And, the people of the Illusory Ocean of Blood and the Great Golden City were seated to his left and right, respectively. But, the head's seat opposite to them had been set aside for Jun Mo Xie. However, the experts from the Three Holy Lands didn't even get up when Young Master Jun arrived; they didn't offer him the conventional greetings either. It was evident that the Three Holy Lands had already come to a tacit understanding — they wanted to put up an initial show of their strength in front of Jun Mo Xie.
Mei Xue Yan was usually a very self-restrained individual. However, she couldn't help but frown when she saw at the situation. In fact, she was somewhat indignant. But, Jun Mo Xie was calm and composed on the contrary. He merely winked at her, and both of them took their seats without consulting anyone. Jun Mo Xie's butt had barely squatted on the chair when he raised his leg. He then crossed it over the other leg to sit cross-legged!
”The seniors have come down from their venerable adobes. It's an honor that they've arrived at the Tian Xiang City. However, I wasn't able to welcome you properly until now. This is extremely rude of me. But, I take this opportunity to thank everybody for coming here. No wonder, ha ha, everyone probably had their lunch; was it sufficient?” Jun Mo Xie cupped his hands and said the greetings.
It must be said that his words were quite pleasant to hear. But, his words still seemed perfunctory since he was sitting in the cross-legged position. There were fifteen experts present, and not even one of them was satisfied by this behavior. However, they looked at Mei Xue Yan's stunning and beautiful features, and they couldn't help but stare blankly at her. In fact, they were so amazed that they even forgot about their anger.
”You are too kind, Young Friend. And, you don't need to be formal. Young Friend, you were very thoughtful. You've arranged everything very nicely, and we are very satisfied,” Ning Wu Qing faintly smiled as he waved out with his hands in a modest manner.
Ma Jiang Ming gave a strange 'heroic' laugh. He then spoke-up in a gloomy and sorrowful voice, ”Young Master Jun, we wish to discuss something with you. This is an important matter; it relates to the future of the continent. However, I don't recognize the girl who's sitting beside Young Master Jun… Who is she?”
Every expert present in the room was under the spell of Mei Xue Yan's stunning beauty. In fact, everybody had been stunned by her dazzling beauty. Even an expert like Ning Wu Qing couldn't resist her beauty; his eyes had also flashed an expression of appreciation. However, Ma Jiang Ming's expressions made it seemed as if he hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary. In fact, it seemed as if he was slightly disgusted at the sight of Mei Xue Yan!
”Um, this is… my wife. He he he…” Jun Mo Xie had been harboring dark intentions in his heart. In fact, he had been hoping that somebody would ask this question. This Young Master was no stranger to being cheap and taking unfair advantage of others. It could be said that this had become his second nature. He was used to behaving like this. Moreover, Young Master Jun's habit of taking unfair advantage of others had nearly become his usual practice in due course. He laughed in a thought-provoking manner. He then explained in detail since he was afraid that the others might not understand clearly, ”This is my wife; she's my lady. She shares my pillow… he he…”
Mei Xue Yan's charming face turned so pale with anger that she nearly fainted. She gave him a fierce look. But, she couldn't refute at this moment. So, she had no option but to let this stupid guy feel proud of himself for a while. However, one would have to wait-and-see if he would still feel complacent about this matter fifteen minutes later…
”Oh? This girl is very graceful and charming. She looks like a painting. In fact, she looks as if a fairy has transformed into a human. Young Master Jun is very lucky. It's a perfect match made in heaven… he he…” Ning Wu Qing smiled and said.
Ning Wu Qing and Ma Jiang Ming had already received a gracious favor from Jun Mo Xie. After all, he had given them one Bone Tempering Pill each… for free! And, they knew that what they had eaten was worth at least fifty-to-sixty thousand gold coins. This was a huge favor. So, both the men were feeling slightly embarrassed to make things difficult for Jun Mo Xie.
Therefore, these two leading men were hoping to rely on their counterpart — Illusory Ocean of Blood. In fact, they were particularly relying on the Illusory Ocean of Blood's young lord — Huyan Xiao. After all, the youngster generation was bound to be better at communicating with the younger generation. [He wouldn't have to drop from his position of seniority in age while talking with a youngster like Jun Mo Xie…]
Unfortunately, they still weren't aware that an expert of the Illusory Ocean of Blood had arbitrarily gotten them involved in a personal affair between three certain influential families and a family named the Huang Family! Moreover, a conflicted had erupted thereafter. And, that's because the Illusory Ocean of Blood had attempted to snatch the pills from the Jun Family by showing-off their strength. In fact, the Illusory Ocean of Blood's best expert for this mission — Huang Tai Yang — had already lost his life in the premises of the Jun Family's residence!
It could be said that these two sides were already irreconcilable…
Ning Wu Qing and Ma Jiang Ming would've surely felt very depressed if they had known about this matter. And, that's because the Illusory Ocean of Blood was intended to represent the Three Holy Lands in these negotiations with Jun Mo Xie. Therefore, their cause never had any chances of success to begin with!
In fact, there would be no hope even if the Illusory Ocean of Blood was to beseech Jun Mo Xie during these negotiations…
”Young Master Jun? I'm the Young Lord of the Illusory Ocean of Blood — Huyan Xiao.” Hu Yan Xiao gloomily looked at Jun Mo Xie. His expressions were malicious like that of a viper as he stared Young Master Jun. An incorporeal pressure surged from his body as he spoke. This pressure then charged towards Jun Mo Xie!
Huyan Xiao's plan was very tyrannical, but effective. His Xuan cultivation had already reached the third level of the Spirit Xuan realm. Therefore, he had planned that he would use his superior strength to suppress his opponent's desire to fight before the start of the battle. And, Jun Mo Xie would obviously have to submit to Huyan Xiao's domination in these negotiations since he would've fallen into a disadvantageous position. And, wouldn't the Three Holy Lands be able to take anything they'd desire once that had happened?
”I've been looking forward to meeting you. I've genuinely been looking forward to meeting you. After all, to know a man by his reputation isn't as good as meeting him in person. And, you're indeed better in person. The Young Lord Huyan is genuinely an invincible expert. You're outstanding. This Jun Mo Xie admires you! I greatly admire you!” Jun Mo politely greeted him. He was still seated in a cross-legged position. In fact, he was still as solid as a rock. Jun Mo Xie had even smiled when he had looked at Huyan Xiao. However, Young Master Jun had looked him as if he was watching a clown perform a roadside show.
Hu Yan Xiao's mountainous momentum had struck Jun Mo Xie like a Tsunami. However, this dreadful momentum had suddenly subsided in the same manner a sea wave does when it runs into a reef. The strong and ferocious momentum hit Jun Mo Xie on his face, but he didn't even feel it.
