566 That Was Very Worrisome! (1/2)
Big Bear and Earth Cracker slowly lifted their heads to look at Mei Xue Yan. Then, the Bear King stammered, ”Big Sister, shall we leave right away?”
”Just get lost right this moment!” Mei Xue Yan screamed at them.
The two Beast Kings trembled out of fear. They then rushed to leave that place with a 'whoosh'. In fact, the two tall and sturdy figures had vanished into the snow in the blink of an eye. They were nowhere to be seen… Their current movements had been even quicker than the ones they had displayed during the battle with the Three Holy Lands!
Mei Xue Yan wasn't feeling very good inside her heart, but she knew that this was the best opportunity for them to leave.
The people from the Three Holy Lands were still not too far from the peripheries of Tian Xiang City at this time. Mei Xue Yan had calculated the enemy's moves in her mind… [They will believe that the Bear King and Tiger King have obtained the aid of that mysterious man from the Jun Family. So, these two Beast Kings should be living here without any apprehensions. This means that these two shouldn't start on their journey back without tending to their wounds first. Therefore, the enemy won't plan on an interception until a few days have passed.]
[However, these two Beast Kings are very quick. So, the two of them would've travelled thousands of miles by the time those people arrive to make an interception. But, the matter would've been done and dusted by then…]
Therefore, Mei Xue Yan had taken this decision without delay. The two Beast Kings had sustained some injuries, but she had still ordered them to start off at their full speeds without any delay. And, that's because this moment was the safest for their departure even if they were injured. In fact, the present moment was much safer than the dangers they would have to confront after a few days had passed…
Mei Xue Yan stood motionless in the snowy breeze after the two Beast Kings left. She was gently stroking the pillar as her gaze remained obsessively fixed at Jun Mo Xie's courtyard. Then, she suddenly smiled as a remark made by Jun Mo Xie surfaced in her mind… [What happened to him? This anxiety is killing me…]
Snake King stood quietly at her side. There was a complex expression in her eyes.
A long while passed like this. Then, Mei Xue Yan let out a soft sigh, and asked, ”Did you find where Jun Mo Xie is?”
Snake King looked at her and replied, ”Jun Family's people are continuously on the lookout for him. Big Sister, please don't worry. He's nowhere to be seen at the moment, but he has such a tyrannical master by his side. Nothing bad will happen to him.”
Mei Xue Yan sighed and powerlessly closed her eyes. [I'm afraid that this guy… I'm afraid that he's pretending to be his own master… But… But, I think that I shouldn't tell anyone about this…] Mei Xue Yan's heart had become impatient and anxious. But, there was nothing that she could do…
She stood motionlessly for a long time. Then, something suddenly stirred-up inside her, and blood spurted out her mouth!
…
The extremely powerful energy from the Hong Jun Pagoda had exploded once Jun Mo Xie was no longer able to contain it. The experts from the Three Holy Lands were on the run at that time. However, they suddenly stopped when they heard the sound of that explosion. They then looked back, and witnessed this vigorous and imposing storm. And, they couldn't prevent themselves from sweating profusely. However, their hearts were brimming with happiness. They felt lucky to have moved out in time.
[That was very fierce!]
”Brother Zi, we ran into a great danger this time. In fact, I'm afraid that if Brother Zi hadn't taken such a prompt decision…” Xiao Wei Cheng rushed to his side; he was wearing the three-pearled crown of the Great Golden City. He whispered to Zi Jing Hong whilst trying to recover from the shock as they rushed along.
”That was very worrisome!” Zi Jing Hong also wiped off his cold sweat. Then, he turned his head around, and looked back. He then spoke-up while gnashing his teeth in anger, ”Ning Wu Qing and Ma Jiang Ming are such bastards! They had said that nothing would stop us from being victorious and glorious as long as we can deal with Venerable Mei! And then, we ran into a fiery demon who killed our people and broke our weapons. And, we eventually had to retreat in defeat… This has tarnished us like nothing else could've. It feels like we've been deceived!”
This 'Third-in-rank Zi' was feeling extremely indignant at the moment. He felt as if the fact that he had to bow his head in front of that mysterious man had scarred to his prestige to the extreme.
”That man possessed such a monstrous strength… All ninety of us would've died there if you hadn't brought up the Battle for Seizing the Heavens. There's no need to mention much… just think about that black flame for a moment! It left nothing of Half-bodied… And, think about what happened when Ning Wu Qing stepped up… If that old freak had waved his hand and thrown those flames into our crowd… Brother Xiao… then… then…” Zi Jing Hong smacked his lips, and shook his head.
”That's right! We could have stayed there because that black fire was beyond our capabilities. It would've burned us to pieces in a short while in case it was launched in full swing. But, it had disappeared without a trace when he had waved his hand to stop it. We couldn't even make out where and how it disappeared… Brother Zi, it was a horrifying magical skill!” Xiao Wei Cheng was still trembling with fear. But, he didn't know that Jun Mo Xie also wanted to so that. However, the issue was that Jun Mo Xie wasn't capable of doing something like that at that moment. Using the fire against one or two people was still possible for him. But, Jun Mo Xie's trick would've been rendered powerless if had tried to use it against so many people…
Xiao Wei Cheng continued, ”That mysterious old man's black flame was extremely appalling. But Brother Zi, did you notice what happened when he re-appeared after setting Half-bodied on fire? Your little brother felt as if he had secretly gone underground, and had re-appeared after drilling out from there. This could explain his mysterious skill. But, there was no hole at the spot where he drilled out of… Moreover, there was no fluctuation in his energy… That's how he was disappearing and re-appearing at-will like… He's matchless in many ways, and he can also go underground…”
”Yes ah! That old freak has lived for thousands of years… So, how could he be ordinary?” Zi Jing Hong seemed to be reassuring him, ”After all, he has practiced cultivation for thousands of years!” What he had implied was… [What's the point of comparing ourselves with an old freak who has been cultivating for thousands of years? So, what's the point of being anxious about it?]
