Chapter 684: All the Way to the North!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
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! [1. Wearing a green hat means that one is being cuckolded. This comes from a story from the Ming Dynasty; Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang enacted a law, which required men who worked in the prostitution trade to wear green hats. Later, it became a common saying about men whose wife had an affair, making her husband wear a green hat.]
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 Lovers’ Mound. 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…
The commotion caused by the Xuan Beasts had not calmed down yet when three groups of people who came from different directions slipped silently into Tian Xiang City…
One of the groups was led by a young man dressed in green. This young man was of tall stature, and his bearing was elegant. He had an air about him that caused him to stand out from the common people. His face was handsome like a crown jade with delicate features, and his lips were red, like painted cinnabar. At this time, he looked toward the familiar sight of Tian Xiang City with a bitter smile.
“I’ve returned to Tian Xiang City… it wasn’t easy for me to leave this place, but in such a short time, I’ve been sent back again… And I’m going to face the powerful rival that I wanted to meet least: the most frightening enemy in my heart… Although, he’s also the rival that I thirst for the most… Jun Mo Xie, if you’re not in Tian Xiang, even if I win this time, what meaning would it have?”
This person was Li You Ran!

After climbing onto the Eagle King’s back, Jun Mo Xie flew toward the north at high speeds. It was only now that Jun Mo Xie finally knew just how far away the Silver Blizzard City was from Tian Xiang! Even with these flying Xuan Beasts traveling at the shocking speed of 10,000 li a day, going all out, they still needed two days to travel! Adding on the time for everyone to eat and rest, even at such great speeds, they would still require at least three days of journeying to reach their destination!
The distance of the Silver City was apparent to all!
Jun Mo Xie could not help but look at his Third Uncle with admiration: how fortunate! To find a wife that lives so far away… even if they quarrelled and fought one day to the point of divorce, the girl’s family wouldn’t even know anything and may still think that they were very intimate… Not like me, who’s surround by so many fierce uncles and brothers-in-laws…
After an entire afternoon of high speed flight, the group was already far away from Tian Xiang. The bright sky had darkened into dusk, and the group finally landed to rest in a vast field.
Vast as the sky and boundless as the wilds. Although it was currently the dead of winter, and the sight of the endless carpet of green could not be seen, one could still feel the immeasurable might of the earth which spread for as far as the eye could see!
This huge grassland seemed to stretch forever, linking up with the sky and the stars. If one came here in the summer, the sight would truly be one to behold.
A bonfire was lit and tents sprouted all over the place. Everyone had prepared plentifully and carried dried rations with them. After eating, they got together into groups to chat. Especially the Beast Kings that had recently transformed into human form; they sat together in large groups, laughing and talking joyously. These Beast Kings had only completed their transformation not long ago and were not practiced with speaking yet. Their conversations would often be filled with incomplete sentences laced with wus and ahs… it was like they were speaking a different language and it was difficult to understand what they were saying. However, everyone was still laughing joyously and enjoying themselves.
Guan Qing Han and Dongfang Wen Xin felt somewhat uncomfortable in contrast. Their cultivations were the weakest among the crowd and were even below the Silver City’s little princess, Han Yan Meng. In addition, it was the first time they had flown so high in the sky. Although they had been protected by Mei Xue Yan all the way, it was still very difficult for them to get used to the altitude completely. It was inevitable to feel exhausted. Thus, the two of them with Han Yan Meng went in to rest earlier.
The night was deep, and the Dongfang three brothers had already raised a storm with their snoring long ago. However, Jun Mo Xie, Mei Xue Yan, Jun Wu Yi, Solitary Falcon, and Feng Juan Yun were still wide awake.
They were on the verge of killing their way into the Silver City, so Jun Wu Yi’s emotions were understandably charged. His heart was surging like the waves in the ocean, and it was naturally difficult for him to sleep. Jun Mo Xie did not feel the need to sleep since he had the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune. Mei Xue Yan was overseeing everything and naturally could not be careless. Furthermore, her cultivation was deep, and even if she did not sleep for eight or ten days, it would not pose a problem for her at all. Solitary Falcon and Feng Juan Yun were battle maniacs, and with a huge war on their periphery, how could those two hot blooded men sleep?
The five walked together on the vast prairie, feeling the soft grass beneath their feet. Far away, a huge pyre lit up half the sky. Under the canopy of the cloudless starry sky, the five of them felt a unique calmness in their hearts.
After a long time, Mei Xue Yan broke the silence with her light voice. She smiled softly as she looked at Jun Mo Xie. “I could feel that you had a lot of things you wanted to ask me about since last time. However, I did not let you ask at that time. You can ask those questions now.”
Solitary Falcon and the rest turned to look at Jun Mo Xie with strange gazes.
Jun Mo Xie laughed, “You’re right, there are indeed many questions in my heart that I’ve always wanted to ask you, but couldn’t find the chance to. But now that you’re telling me to ask them, I don’t know what to say…”
“Don’t worry, ask away. Everyone is present, and I believe that they would be able to help clear the doubts of a rookie like you.” Mei Xue Yan smiled teasingly and said.
Everyone instantly laughed loudly and suddenly became interested in the topic. They found a place to sit down. Even the weakest of the five, Jun Wu Yi, had reached the fourth level of Spirit Xuan, so they naturally did not fear the cold. They directly sat down on the cold ground.
Jun Mo Xie smiled, raised his arms, and faced the vast grassland and said, “To be honest, my questions would probably only appear extremely simple to all of you… for example… since old Falcon and the Hurricane Swordsman are here as well, I shall not avoid the topic and speak directly.”
