Chapter 859: Vie!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It seemed that as long as it was Young Master Jun Master, they’d all become the archnemesis of the Saint Emperor experts. Be it before or right now!
What a tragedy!
Jun Mo Xie looked over to the table he was at through the crowd of people, and just as he expected, that scoundrel Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master had already vanished without a trace! That jerk has no spirit of brotherhood, just minding his own escape even after seeing me in such a terrible situation…
You lot have really ruined my plans!
Young Master Jun felt like crying!
He had finally bumped into the Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master after great difficulty. This person was currently the number one strongest assistance to Jun Mo Xie!
During their conversation, Jun Mo Xie had already noticed a peculiar sign: no matter where the Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master went, the surrounding Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi always automatically gathered towards his body!
In other words, even if this guy did not exercise his skills, he was still in a state of recuperating at any moment! Jun Mo Xie reckoned that although this guy was severely injured previously, but he was more or less recovered right now. Although it may be a little difficult to take action now, but in a couple of days, it should not be an issue anymore.
With that sort of horrifying speed of recovery, those injuries were definitely no big issue to him!
The injuries that the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master had sustained in the battle in Tian Fa Forest was so terrifying that one could be scared to death simply by looking at them. Two swords pierced through his chest alone, at the position of his heart. The third sword had simply skewered all his intestines and his stomach…
And this was putting aside all the other numerous injuries he had sustained. Had this befallen any random person, he would have been reincarnated by now. But this person was still alive and kicking, and even making a long way over as a feverish musical enthusiast…
Calculating in this way, this fellow should be capable of utilizing significant battle prowess in a couple of days more? When that time comes, if this young master cannot deal with all the enemies, wouldn’t it be invigorating if I just make him the scapegoat?
Chu Qi Hun used to the scapegoat; isn’t it great to have a change now?!
This was Jun Mo Xie’s grand scheme!
But this perfect plan was obviously already foiled, or at the very least, not usable in the short term. Leaving whether he was able to get out of this aside, even if he was able to, it was also an impossible task for him to find the Nine Nether Fourteen Young Master in a huge place like Chrysanthemum City!
Unless he takes the initiative to come and find me!
This was utterly bad luck.
Looking at these eight Saint Emperors who were all agitated, Jun Mo Xie felt all the anger rushing to his head! Alright, since you guys decided to treat the God of Death as longevity meat, then I shall let you guys have a good surprise!
Finally, the eight Saint Emperors also realized that it was rather unbecoming to put Jun Mo Xie on the table, so they picked him up and sat him down on a chair. Then eight of them also settled back into their seats, facing each other.
Finally…
“I say… Lad, I think that your aptitude isn’t bad. Are you willing to make me your Master? I am the ancestor of the Zhan Family, an Saint Emperor expert in the pugilistic world, and as long as you follow me, you can have whatever you want and enjoy endless fame and fortune…”
After an awkward period, it was Zhan Mu Bai who was the most thick-skinned, opening his mouth first to take advantage of being first. It wouldn’t do if he was not anxious about it; the other seven were all his opponents, but how could he, one person vie with the seven of them?
The lad is still part of the secular world; who knows, he may be swayed by fame and fortune, and it is worth a try. As long as the little fellow nods his head, I can just pick him up and go and not care about anything else.
But Zhan Mu Bai had barely finished his words when he got interrupted. “What ‘as long as he follows you’? And ‘fame and fortune’? I say Old Zhan, why do you sound like you are looking for a concubine? How can objects of the secular world be worthy in the eyes of people like us. Lad, don’t listen to him. This old fox is lecherous, despicable, and the number one shameless person. I’m better. I was known as the Holy Sword Scholar in the past, and my reputation was far and wide. I am full of justice and my Xuan Skills are powerful…”
The one speaking was the Saint Emperor surnamed Bai. He was still addressing Zhan Mu Bai as ‘Brother Zhan’ earlier. But now that there was a conflict of interests, his tone instantly switched and Zhan Mu Bai had become ‘lecherous, despicable, and the number one shameless person!’ in his mouth!
This change in role was really extremely fast…
The more drastic the change in attitude, the more arbitrary the speech became. There was no other reason; it was just that the natural endowments of this youth before them was really at a heaven-defying state! Although he was only of a Silver Xuan cultivation right now, but the meridians in his body were crystal clear, with no obstructions at all. This also went to say that no matter what type, or what level of Xuan skills he cultivated, there was absolutely no bottleneck for him!
Which martial arts practitioner had no bottleneck? Although the eight present were all Saint Emperors, but their cultivations were the substantial accumulation of a few hundred years! And in their long duration of cultivating for hundreds of years, at least two thirds of the time was used for breaking through layers of bottlenecks!
No bottleneck…
What sort of monster must that be?
No one dared to imagine it! Although the Nine Nether First Young Master had left written proof and no one had ever doubted its legitimacy, but because it was something that had never been seen over ten thousands of years, everyone had treated it as a beautiful legend!
But right now, the legend had came true! There was this superhuman monster right before their eyes!
With this sort of heaven-defying natural endowments, he could smoothly advance easily to the level of a Saint Emperor by mere accumulation alone!
A innate talent that went beyond the limits of the world may not be unheard of, but since the ten thousand years after the Nine Nether First Young Master, there was only him alone. And it may not necessarily appear again in the future. This was definitely something that was absolutely hard to come by!
All eight old man got agitated at the same time, their greedy looks locked onto Jun Mo Xie.
Since when were Young Master Jun’s guts ever small? Describing him as extremely daring was perfect. But today, right now, he was truly trembling in his guts! He really felt a little afraid!
To be honest, anyone else would also be afraid. One young man being surrounded by eight old demons that were a few hundred years old, all of them looking at him full of desire, anticipation, and greed in their eyes, which showed no intentions of letting him go. Who could be unafraid?!
After long banter, everyone was stuck in a stalemate, but no one was also willing to let go! Only a fool would be willing to let go of a talent like this!
“Enough. Making a racket like this, what a scandal! What sort of position are we all at? We are all so old already; there is no reason to snatch a disciple. Trust you guys to be capable of doing something this distasteful! We’re just letting the juniors see us embarrass ourselves!”
Cao Guo Feng frowned and said, “Which one of you aren’t with a whole lot of disciples and grand-disciples? I’m still without any disciples till now, and you guys are not embarrassed to be fighting with me! I believe that only I am capable of focusing solely on nurturing this child! And let him develop his fullest!”
Everyone rolled their eyes simultaneously. If this was just any regular or the few types of prodigal physique, I also wouldn’t fight with you, but this is the Free and Natural Physique! Who wouldn’t desire it? Saying that we are not behaving in a becoming manner, but as if you are not doing the same? Only you can solely focus on nurturing him? This is bullshit! If its a disciple like this, who would not be focused on nurturing him! Even if we have to discharge all our past disciples, it will all be worth it!
“Brother Cao speaks logically. This sort of prodigy indeed requires concentrated teaching. It is just that although Brother Cao may have no disciples, he has high positions and duties in the Illusory Manor, unlike me, who is a idle person… Haha… I also do not have a suitable disciple to impart my skills to.”
Zhan Mu Bai laughed chuckled. “Brother Cao, let me have this one. With Brother Cao’s capabilities, I’m sure you are capable of finding even better ones in the future. Actually that descendant of mine is not too shabby either, born with the Xuan Yin Death meridian, perfectly suitable for Brother Cao’s unique teachings, you see…”
Cao Guo Feng rolled his eyes and immediately cut him off. “Even better ones? Zhan Mu Bai, you don’t even have to find me one, if you can mention a better physique than the Free and Natural Physique, I will immediately let you have him! But you sure have made your sweet plans; not only do you intend to usurp this child, you still want me to put effort into your sickly great-grandson. How did you plot it? All the good things belongs to you now?”
Zhan Mu Bai was embarrassed. “Brother Cao, are you really this unreasonable? Forget it, it’s fine if you don’t take my descendant as your disciple—I won’t force you to do it. But today, you even want to fight with me over a disciple? Brother Cao, one has to be reasonable as a human. You can’t not only let me not only have any more descendants and also not have any disciple to impart my skills to…”
Cao Guo Feng was on the verge of fainting. He gritted his teeth and said, “Zhan Mu Bai! To think that you are capable of saying something this shameless! How am I being unreasonable?! The physique of that descendant of yours wasn’t decided by me; if you want to find fault, you should look for his parents! If I’m willing to accept him as my disciple, it is because I am doing you a favor; if I’m unwilling, it is because of fairness. This is the true reason! Leaving everything else aside, out of all the thousand people in your Zhan Family, which one of them is not your disciple? Today, the disciple that I sought for seven hundred over years, and you dare to say that he is yours? You… Do you still have shame? Who is the one being unreasonable! Let everyone here be the judge of it!”
“Had it been any regular person I wouldn’t vie for him! But this lad’s physique is not inferior to that demonic existence, Jun Mo Xie! I definitely will not let go of a talent like this no matter what! Don’t tell me that Brother Cao is going to rely on the fact that everyone present is an expert from your Illusory Manor and force me to give up taking this disciple!”
Zhan Mu Bai had straightaway began to act shamelessly; not only did he directly insult the Illusory Manor’s intentions as wanting to bully him with the advantage of numbers, he had straightaway made Young Master Jun his disciple. This change in identity was truly of godly speed.
Cao Guo Feng was shocked. “Don’t tell me that that demon Jun Mo Xie was also of a Free and Natural Physique?”
“We did not have the time to check carefully what sort of physique that Jun Mo Xie was! But Jun Mo Xie had indeed attained the second level of a Venerable before the age of eighteen! This was a fact that many of us bore witness to. Brother Cao, even if he had the guidance of a great master, this sort of advancement speed… What sort of physique did you think he was?”
Zhan Mu Bai scoffed and added. “And this lad here, although he is also of a mere eighteen or nineteen years of age, but he is still as a piece of jade that had yet to be carved; he only lacked the guidance of a master. If he had undergone careful teaching, he may not necessarily be inferior to Jun Mo Xie, or perhaps even stronger. I have the confidence that perhaps that this child is the second Nine Nether First Young Master!”
“You have this confidence, but do I not have it? The scramble for power and profit by the three Holy Lands has already caused so much chaos in the regular world. If this child is really given to you, he will definitely be destroyed. Absolute;y no way! You can keep talking, but there is no room for negotiation…” Cao Guo Feng had made up his mind that he would not let go of this disciple no matter what!
