632 Confrontation! (1/2)
Yi Jiu Kuang sighed longly and said, ”I'm afraid both of us will be punished this time after we report this matter back. Perhaps we might even lose our current positions and get replaced by others. But this is not necessarily a bad thing; we can finally concentrate on improving our cultivation…”
Ren Ping Sheng also sighed in response. ”Old Kuang… the battle back then ended with both sides suffering heavy losses; Feng and Yu have both entered the Elusive World of Immortals, while we both entered here by chance and recuperated before joining the Illusory Manor… How many years have passed since then?”
Yi Jiu Kuang stared dazedly at the sheet of snow before him and lamented. ”How many years has it been? I've already forgotten.”
Ren Ping Sheng stood quietly beside him and watched the falling snow. With a heavy sigh, he continued. ”Actually, I really miss those days… Although our strength was weak, we were still titled as Supremes and placed above millions and millions of people. We roamed the martial world domineeringly for decades, but as our strength grew greater, we somehow felt weaker and more insignificant. Old Kuang… Do you think that the stuff they said really exists?”
Yi Jiu Kuang laughed coldly. ”Don't forget, even within the manor right now, there are still a few old monsters! This is already an incontestable truth since a long time ago!”
The two sighed and sighed as they watched the falling snow. Far away, numerous purple shadows floated through the sky. White robes fluttered, and hemp garments drifted; the people of the three Holy Lands were rushing through the snow storm…
Jun Mo Xie and Mei Xue Yan stepped on the snow-covered ground, gliding effortlessly through the thick snow. Mei Xue Yan carried Dongfang Wen Xin on her back; Jun Mo Xie actually wanted to carry his mother on his back, as per his filial duties. However, the job was forcefully snatched away by Mei Xue Yan. You want to be filial, but this daughter-in-law needs to be filial as well!
Dongfang Wen Xin, on the other hand, enjoyed the tussle of the two children over her and as she laid down on her daughter-in-law's back, she felt extremely content. With her daughter-in-law being so gentle and filial, she would definitely be a great helper to Mo Xie… From what she heard, that brat Mo Xie already had a few other wives already. This time, she would go back and take a good look at all of them. And she would be using Xue Yan as the benchmark…
Along the way, Jun Mo Xie asked curiously, ”What is this Misty Illusory Manor? How come I've never heard of it before? Xue Yan, what about the illusory mists in Tian Fa? I've gone in there before; is that the Misty Illusory Manor?”
Mei Xue Yan fell silent for a long time. Her head lowered as she sped through the snowy land. After a while, she spoke. ”There's no advantage to you knowing these things. If there's a need, I will tell you everything. But right now, our level is still not enough.”
Jun Mo Xie made a sound of acknowledgement and did not ask further. However, his heart was filled with countless questions. Mei Xue Yan had previously said numerous times, ”The previous Lord of Tian Fa and Beast King had met with some kind of accident, and had supposedly entered closed seclusion ever since. Now that I think of it, they must be inside that Misty Illusory Manor…” From her words today, they were most likely not in closed-door cultivation. Instead, they should be stuck in the illusory mists…
As for the accident… it probably refered to that secret realm?
But one had to admit that the tangible mist was truly formidable. His spiritual sense was actually unable to move within the mists; initially, he thought that it was a natural phenomenon, but as it turns out, it was actually man-made!
Jun Mo Xie was somewhat shocked at this revelation!
In this world, there were actually so many things that he did not know and could not understand…
As the small group progressed, Jun Mo Xie suddenly made a ”Yi?” sound and stopped.
Before them, atop a tree; the entire tree was as white as snow and the sky swirled with a sheet of white. A man dressed in robes the same color as the snow stood atop the tree, staring at the three coldly. His entire body seemed to have merged into the white background, and even if one strained their eyes to look, they would find his figure difficult to distinguish. The only reason they'd discovered him was because the Young Master Jun's instinct was keener than that of normal people. Otherwise, it would be hard to discover the presence of this man.
Chu Qi Hun!
He was actually waiting here for them!
”Little rascal, as expected, you were helping me on purpose just now.” Chu Qi Hun floated down onto the snowy ground. The puffy white snow did not leave a single trace of his footprints. It was as if Chu Qi Hun's body was completely weightless. Chu Qi Hun's eyes were colder than a wall of ice; a faint chilliness surged from his body as he looked at Jun Mo Xie. The sentence he spoke seemed as if he'd come to offer his gratitude, but his expression spoke completely otherwise. It was more like he had come looking for trouble.
”It doesn't count as helping you on purpose; I just don't want you to die so early.” Jun Mo Xie replied blandly as he exerted some strength in his legs and the sled shoes under his foot burst apart with a loud Pa sound. Against Chu Qi Hun, it was nothing short of seeking death if his legs were bounded with that clunky thing!
”The reason?” Chu Qi Hun was standing in the snow, but he gave one a feeling of intangibility. It was as if his body had disappeared. But at a closer glance, it materialized again. He was not wearing any disguises, but he seemed like a flower in the fog; no matter how one looked, it was hard to see his true appearance.
”Reason? … Perhaps it's because… in this world, the number of assassins that can catch my eye are too little. If the Supreme Assassin was to one day fall from the sky, then there would be a lot less things that could interest me in this world.”
Jun Mo Xie was speaking in an extremely calm and ordinary tone as well, but when he mentioned the words ”Supreme Assassin,” he placed special emphasis on the words, clearly articulating each one. An extremely heavy atmosphere instantly appeared around him as the words formed!
It was like a bright, sunny day was suddenly overcast with dark clouds!
At this time, he'd completely thrown away his carefree demeanor. Although his face was calm, his words were exceedingly serious. For this lackadaisical young master, this kind of serious attitude was an incredibly rare sight!
This rarely seen seriousness actually looked somewhat suave on his face!
