685 All the Way to the North! (1/2)
Old Master Jun stood silently for a long time, not moving. A bitter smile hung on his face. But the moment he thought about his grandson Jun Mo Xie, his face turned a shade warmer. He thought about the words his grandson had said to him before he left again.
”Grandpa, our Jun Family is about to set off to attack the Silver City with all our strength. The moment we leave, our Jun Family base will be left completely defenseless! However, the world knows that my master is residing in the Jun Family residence. There aren't many who would dare to try anything funny. The only ones who would really dare to make a move would be the forces of the three Holy Lands. Of this point, you need to prepare yourself mentally.
”However, grandpa need not be too overly worried. Even if the three Holy Lands really make a move, they will definitely have some reservation in their hearts and would not dare to be too brazen. Thus, they will most likely employ all kinds of tactics to test our Jun Family's reaction. Grandpa, with your rich experience, it shouldn't be much of a problem to deal with them. If they don't come, then so be it. But if they really showed up, you need to act domineering! The more overbearing we show ourselves to be, the better!
”No matter what, we must not show any weakness to the enemy. Before Xue Yan and I die, and more importantly, before my master shows himself, even if all the forces of the three Holy Lands are standing in front of you, they will not dare touch a single hair on your head! But the moment you show any weakness, they will instead think that we do not actually have the strength to stand up to them. At that point, they will not have any more reservations. I think that grandpa should know this point very well too. What appears to be strong might be weak, and what appears to be weak might be strong in reality; the more arrogant we are, the better. In any case, you can handle everything as you deem appropriate! I trust that grandpa will be able to settle them! As long as the Jun Family holds on until our return, everything will pass!”
These were the words that Jun Mo Xie had said to Grandpa Jun after listening to Mei Xue Yan's words.
At the same time, the terrifyingly huge number of Xuan Beasts suddenly appearing in Tian Xiang City had caused a great deal of anxiety in the royal chambers of the imperial palace! Although the Xuan Beasts had only landed for a moment and then left immediately, the commotion that would arise from it would take several months to calm!
Everyone clearly knew now that Jun Mo Xie's relationship with the number one Beast king of Tian Fa, Venerable Mei, was not just some empty rumors! They were actually real!
To go against the Jun Family was now no different from going against the entire Tian Fa Forest's strength!
Who would dare to provoke such a terrifying power? Even the three Holy Lands needed to first consider long and hard before doing anything!
The Emperor could be said to have suffered his fill this time. Firstly, Jun Mo Xie had directly created a huge commotion and humiliated his most able helper right before his door steps for 10 days before executing the latter. Yet, he as the Emperor did not even dare make a single noise! This was already enough to infuriate anyone to death!
Who would have thought that after that, Jun Mo Xie would continue to humiliate him, burying his Empress with Ye Gu Han.
This was simply putting a huge stain on his name, one that could never be washed away even after he was buried in the ground! This was the equivalence of putting a striking green hat on his head, one that could never be taken off! This green hat was so bright that even his ancestors would be shamed by him!
The two consecutive rounds of humiliation nearly caused this Tian Xiang Emperor to breakdown!
The thing was that Jun Mo Xie had not even mentioned half a word about him while he was doing these things. Although everyone knew that Jun Mo Xie was humiliating the Tian Xiang Emperor, he had not done anything that was in direct confrontation to him…
In any case, even if he did, nobody would have dared to say anything. Did they think too cheaply of their lives and grew tired of living? The Jun Family Young Master would kill someone if they so much as looked at him the wrong way. No, not just kill: he would peel off the skins of those who offended him! If a hundred people came, he would flay a hundred. Who would be so bored as to seek their own death?
All these caused the Emperor to feel as if his heart was being fried in a pot of boiling oil… Yet, he couldn't say a single word. He couldn't possibly stand out and say: Jun Mo Xie, your actions are directed at me! Wouldn't that be the same as pouring a bucket of sh*t over his own head and insulting his own reputation?
If he didn't say anything, although the entire world would know that this was the reality, he could still pretend that those were nothing but lies and rumours spread by his enemies. But the moment he responded, it would be proving that it was true. There would be no more room to twist the opinions of the world!
The entire world was watching an Emperor of a country, eating coptis root mutely; it was extremely bitter, but this Emperor could not even make a sound…
These few days, he had been brooding endlessly and was considering sending some experts out to secretly dig out that hateful Grave of the Affectionate Couple. When Jun Mo Xie returned, the grain would have already turned into cooked rice. At that time, there wouldn't be anything he could do about it. But who would have thought that before Jun Mo Xie did anything, an even fiercer power would appear! That was a power that dared to oppose even the three Holy Lands—Tian Fa Forest!
Dear Heavens ah, great Earth ah, how are people supposed to live like that?!
This discovery caused the incredibly vexed Emperor to cancel his arrangements yet again. If it was only a matter of offending the Young Master Jun, he believed that with the Old Master Jun around, the old man would definitely not sit back and watch his grandson kill the Emperor. Even if they were unhappy, the Tian Xiang Kingdom still belonged to those surnamed Yang. But if they infuriated the Tian Fa Forest… that would no longer be an issue involving the Tian Xiang royal family… even the entire Tian Xiang Kingdom would be wiped out.
Just like that, the esteemed Emperor could only stamp his feet endlessly with rage. Yet he was unable to do even a single thing! He was angered to the point where he nearly vomited blood every single day. However, he was unable to vent even a single bit of that anger…
There wasn't even a single place for him to vent his anger…
