924 Ill Gift You a Successor! (1/2)
”The Misty Illusory Manor may have plenty of experts and is strong, but most of them are old in age. They can't compete with a maniacal prodigy with rapid advancement speed like Jun Mo Xie! Jun Mo Xie is barely twenty. Standing in a battle alone, he killed Zhan Mu Bai with not a single scratch on him. And he was capable of killing over twenty Holy Land experts in a single sweep after battling a Saint Emperor! What sort of power is that?! What sort of potential is that?! I can almost confirm that he will not be past thirty when he reaches the peak of this world!”
”When that time comes, even if its us, Misty Illusory Manor, what do we have to resist against Jun Mo Xie?” Cao Guo Feng sighed in grief. ”It'll still be alright if Jun Mo Xie doesn't set his eyes on Misty Illusory Manor, but if he really does, then… the consequences are unimaginable!”
”Then Big Brother means… that we should get rid of Jun Mo Xie now? Get rid of the threat once and for all?!” Bai Qi Feng furrowed his brows and asked.
”No. That sort of thing, perhaps the three Holy Lands can do it without feeling any guilt, but the Misty Illusory Manor must not! And dares not! You must all remember: if you kill someone because you envy their speed… then there is no doubt that you have a subconscious belief in your own heart that 'I'm incomparable to him'. This is a great taboo in cultivation! Even if we ultimately kill him, he will become an inner-demon that will live forever in the deepest parts of your heart. And from then on, you will never be able to improve for eternity!”
Cao Guo Feng's eyes were full of worry. ”If there is no Jun Mo Xie, the Misty Illusory Manor has no reason to be anxious. But now that he exists, we must absolutely find a suitable successor that has a great physique comparable to the enemy. This matter is of utmost urgency! Because we must guarantee that a thousand years later, there is still someone who is able to support the entire Misty Illusory Manor!”
Realization dawned on Bai Qi Feng. But his face turned into that of fury, and he uttered through gritted teeth: ”This sort of ideal successor… we had actually found it… but it's a pity that its all destroyed by the three Holy Lands! Those b*stards! If I could, I'd eat them alive!”
Another person piped up cautiously. ”When put in this way… if one day, the Misty Illusory Manor is destroyed in the hands of Jun Mo Xie, then isn't it all because what the three Holy Lands had done?”
”That is correct! That's why I said… We must not let them off so easily.” Bai Qi Feng said heavily, his eyes filled with killing intent. His hand pressed on his sword as he looked south. That was the direction of the three Holy Lands!
”Now that things have come to this, there is no use in talking about all this anymore; there is no point… The real important thing is where do we go and find a successor whose physique is able to contend against Jun Mo Xie? Otherwise, the Misty Illusory Manor that has been around for ten thousands of years is really running out of time!” Cao Guo Feng let out a long sigh, frowning.
The other six people all thought it through and let out long sighs, at the ends of their wits.
Just then, they heard an eerie, maniacal laughter ringing out. And the sound was coming from not far away. Everyone exchanged looks of shock. A gleam appeared in Cao Guo Feng's eyes as he asked, ”Which expert is acting like ghosts before us? I invite you to come out and meet us.”
The faces of Bai Qi Feng and the rest darkened. From the sound of the laughter, this person's strength was definitely not beneath any of them present, and even a little more superior! If this person was really an enemy, it'd be a terrifying one!
They all did not open their mouths to speak, completely focusing in stand-by mode, getting ready to attack at any moment.
After a long time, they heard that eerie voice speak slowly. ”Weren't you guys looking for a successor with a good physique? This old man sees that you have been searching too hard and pities all of you for being so old with age and left with not much time to live. So I specially came to gift one to you. This old man is a kind person, right?!”
This person's voice was vague and indistinct; sometimes it was in front, sometimes it was at the back, and sometimes left and right. Yet sometimes, it seemed as if he were spinning in the air, changing positions constantly. Even the supernatural powers of the seven Saint Emperors could not clearly discern the direction this person was hiding at, what more his general location!
The moment the person had finished his sentence, the faces of the seven of them changed. This person could clearly listen to the contents of our conversation earlier, while we cannot do anything about him at all… Doesn't this mean that this person's strength is beyond all of us?
And this person's voice was not friendly, so clearly he was not a friend!
Why would such a powerful enemy appear in such wilderness?
After a moment of silence, suddenly, a bloodcurdling scream ripped across the air. The voice sounded young, and the person was definitely not beyond the age of twenty. Then, this eerie voice laughed gleefully and said, ”Come, come! Hahahaha… come and welcome your disciple… Free and Natural Physique… it's really rare to find…”
A white figure seemed to be tossed in the air with great force. It spun twice in the air, blood spurting out from his mouth and across the air. Then, it landed heavily on the ground with a pa, blood and flesh flying about.
”This old man is going off now, hahaha…” This eerie voice seemed to be coming from underground now, vanishing completely without a trace.
”Go!” Bai Qi Feng yelled and ran over first. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”Qi Feng! Be careful; it may be a trap!” Cao Guo Feng warned. He flew into the air with his sword, cautiously observing the surroundings. In this position, no matter what was happening nearby, he would be able to immediately render aid to his comrades and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy from the top!”
