Chapter 982: Assassination…

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing that the Zhan Family people had already left, everyone else went forward and tried to get closer to Jun Mo Xie. Although this Free and Natural Physique prodigy had thoroughly offended the Zhan Family and his future might not amount to much, and it was even quite possible that he might die prematurely, but if he somehow didn’t die and managed to grow to his peak strength, with this fellow’s performance today, he was destined to become a legendary character!

There was nothing to lose from trying to get along with him early on.

If this kid’s life was ill fated and he ended up dying early, it wouldn’t affect them much too…

Jun Mo Xie gave a few perfunctory smiles, exchanged a few vague sentences, and quickly made his way out. He felt that his results today were still quite good. At the very least, as long as he got to enter the Spiritual Herbal Gardens, he would have achieved his objective for this trip. For now, the plan was progressing at a very good pace!

After he got his hands on the stuff… he could naturally leave whenever he wanted to. Why would he bother himself with the complicated internal matters of the Misty Illusory Manor? Not only was he not bothered, he was rather tight on time at the moment. There wasn’t much time left until the War for Seizing the Heavens!

Seeing that Jun Mo Xie was about to leave, Little Purple ran over and clung on to his pants. Looking up at him, its eyes were full of attachment and unwillingness to part.

“Little Purple ah, you don’t belong here or with me. You should return to the mountains.” Jun Mo Xie picked it up and said gently. “This is not a place you can grow safely. Go on, Little Purple, if we’re fated to meet again, we will see each other one day.” After saying that, he placed it back on the ground lightly.

Little Purple meowed lightly a few times and looked at him with reluctance. Then, as if it understood something, it cried out once and opened its mouth, tearing a piece of cloth from his pants. Holding it in its mouth, it raised its head and looked at Jun Mo Xie one more time. Then, with a light leap, it did a somersault in the air and stood up. After that, it walked forward, looking back with every step. Finally with a last meow, it disappeared like a bolt of lightning…

This Cat-bodied Tiger had actually disappeared completely from a hall full of people!

That piece of cloth it tore was it saying: No matter how long, I will remember your smell. As for that somersault, it was saying: No matter until when, you will always be my owner!

Although the Xuan Beast was small, it understood the nature of humans. When it left, Jun Mo Xie also felt a pang of heartache…

Seeing that Young Master Jun was about to leave, Miao Xiao Miao hurriedly bade farewell to the other Young Masters and ran over with Little Beansprout in tow. By the time the two came out and stepped onto the streets, the Mo Jun Ye that’d only just come out had already disappeared into the sea of people…

Seeing the crowded streets in front of her, Miao Xiao Miao stood there silently, feeling a sense of loss in her heart…

“Miss, Young Master Mo should have left towards Saint Emperor Cao’s place. With his speed, he shouldn’t have gone very far. We can go along the same road, and we’ll definitely catch up to him.” Little Beansprout suggested intelligently.

“You’re right! In any case, I still need to hurry back now and tell grandfather about today.” Miao Xiao Miao said decisively and hurried down the path.

When their figures disappeared from around the corner, Jun Mo Xie appeared exactly where they had been standing before. Looking at their departing backs, he sighed lightly. “I’m sorry… I can’t…”

………

On the other side, after Zhan Bing Feng brought the two brothers of the Zhan Family away from Drifting Fragrance Lodge, he chucked them onto the ground as soon as they left Heart Fantasy City. Without saying anything, he gave them a good beating and then followed it up with a harsh scolding and commanded them to reflect in seclusion. After that, he dusted his hands and left huffily.

Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu sat up on the ground with dirt all over their faces. Exchanging a glance, their eyes were filled with deep hatred!

“If this enmity is not avenged, I cease to be a man!” Zhan Qing Feng smashed his fist ruthlessly into the side of the stone cliff as he growled with gritted teeth.

“I must kill him! I must kill him! Kill that Mo Jun Ye!” Zhan Yu Shu also repeated with bloodshot eyes. “Since the day I was born, I have never suffered such a great humiliation before! I am unwilling to share the same sky as him!”

“Big brother, what do you plan to do next?” Zhan Yu Shu asked.

“If we want to get rid of him, tonight is the best opportunity! After today, as long as he manages to return safely, there will be no more chances. At the very least, not without going through Saint Emperor Cao and the others. We spent so much effort and resources today and even exposed our intentions to those Saint Emperors. In the future, we also will not have an easy time because we didn’t manage to control Mo Jun Ye. In any case, we’ve completely lost control of the entire situation. The only way to reverse the situation is just this final opportunity before us…” Zhan Qing Feng said slowly.

“Indeed, everyone present must have thought that the two of us have been sent back home. If anything happens to Mo Jun Ye, we will be the most suspicious. However, precisely because we are the most suspicious, no one will suspect us instead.” A sinister look appeared in Zhan Yu Shu’s eyes.

“Yu Shu! This matter will be left to the guards under you then. Make sure they do a clean job!” Zhan Qing Feng’s eyes flashed as he said. “If there’s even the slightest trace of this matter leading back to us, we will really be unable to bear the consequences.”

“No! Big Brother, since we’re doing this, we might as well act personally!” Zhan Yu Shu had become smarter after experiencing treachery just once. Hearing this, he refused immediately. “This matter is beyond the abilities of this little brother. I’m afraid I can’t do this alone. Only if Big Brother can assist me will I be able to ensure that there are no mistakes!”

Zhan Qing Feng raised his eyebrows and looked seriously at his younger brother. Suddenly, he chuckled bitterly. “Yu Shu… you’ve grown up…”

Zhan Yu Shu snorted lightly, not saying anything. Still thinking to wield me as a gun? If anything happens, you can still use me as a scapegoat? Hmph! Even if you’re my blood brother, it’s impossible!

A long silence ensued between the two brothers as they looked at each other. In that moment, the both of them could feel that a strange distance had appeared between them and both of them would never go back to their previous closeness again…

Slowly, the sky darkened into dusk…

By the time Miao Xiao Miao and Little Beansprout came out of Drifting Fragrance Lodge, it was already dusk. The setting sun dyed the entire sky red, and when they reached the bottom of the mountain, there was only an indistinct line of color in the sky, shrouding the entire mountain in a mysterious white mist…

All along the way, Miao Xiao Miao’s mind was filled with thoughts, and she naturally did not move quickly.

As they walked, two shadows flashed past them, shooting forward with the speed of lightning.

At their backs appeared the two guards who were supposed to protect Mo Jun Ye. They were also fellow disciples under Saint Emperor Cao Guo Feng, Wang Neng, and Li Jie.

After Jun Mo Xie emerged victorious, everyone from the Zhan Family had left completely. And the two of them naturally regained their freedom. It’s just that they couldn’t find Jun Mo Xie after that, and they could only hurry back to Cao Guo Feng to report.

Why did they abandon Mo Jun Ye and return alone?

Miao Xiao Miao was just contemplating the manner when she heard a muffled sound in front.

“Could something have happened?! Who has such great guts, to dare to cause trouble here? Do they not want their lives anymore?”

Miao Xiao Miao’s pupils shrunk and with a shake of her sleeves, a strange little multicolored jade pendant appeared in her hand. After that, she took out an elaborate small dagger and lightly pricked the tip of her finger. In an instant, a few drops of fresh blood dripped onto the jade pendant. The pendant glowed brightly, flashed once and expanded into a huge piece of jade silk.

Miao Xiao Miao was not slow, quickly draping the silk over herself and Little Beansprout. The following scene was even more bizarre. The both of them suddenly vanished!

This piece of multicolored jade silk was actually a treasure of the Misty Illusory Manor!

The Cloak of Invisibility!

This was one of the few defensive treasures that the Nine Nether First Young Master left behind many years ago. As long as one ignited it with a drop of essence blood and covered themselves under it, their bodies would turn invisible. No matter how strong their opponent was, they would not detect their presence.

As soon as they turned invisible, the two quickly sped towards the place where the commotion was…

The only thing was when she flew out, she completely did not notice only several hundred zhang behind her, Jun Mo Xie was following along casually.

Miao Xiao Miao and Little Beansprout moved stealthily forward, reaching a corner of the road which had been blocked by a huge boulder. Above it was a filthy object which stunk up the entire area.

This area was originally an intersection, and even if the path was blocked, it was not a big deal. There were several smaller paths around it which one could use to get around the roadblock.

As for the strange painful groan, it’d appeared from one of the small roads ahead. Miao Xiao Miao immediately went closer to investigate.

Two more turns later along a very secluded path, Miao Xiao Miao saw something that gave her a huge shock.

A total of six black robed masked men had caught Wang Neng and Li Jie. From the looks of it, the two of them had already been suppressed and controlled!

The black robed men seemed to be saying something, but it was difficult to make the words out from a distance. Miao Xiao Miao’s heart shivered, and she moved closer again. Finally, she could hear…

“… This… Your Lordships can rest assured, we will definitely be able to do it.” It was Wang Neng speaking. What did they ask him to do? An ominous thought appeared in Miao Xiao Miao’s heart.

“Yes yes, as long as Your Lordships can be merciful and let us go, it will be an easy matter to get rid of that useless Mo Jun Ye. That brat only knows how to gain small advantages using his detestable mouth. As for his trash cultivation, even an Earth Xuan or Jade Xuan cultivator can easily end his life!” Li Jie said.

Miao Xiao Miao’s face instantly changed!

So the person these people are looking to deal with is Mo Jun Ye?!

But he’d only just arrived for how many days, ah? How did he offend so many people?
