“Ah? This matter also involves Brother Bai as well? Brother Bai, you should say it clearly, in what way was Zhan Mu Bai despicable and shameless?” Another person in hemp clothes and high crown walked over. This was the Supreme Golden City’s Saint Emperor, He Zhi Qiu.
Bai Qi Feng snorted angrily and gritted his teeth hatefully. “I’m sure you all should also know about the matter with the youth with the Free and Natural Physique that we found, right?”
The two of them nodded together.
Bai Qi Feng continued. “The seven of us already agreed to accept the kid as a joint disciple and bring him back to the Misty Illusory Manor to groom. Who would have thought that… just an hour ago, Zhan Mu Bai sneaked in like a common rogue, masked and dressed in black, wanting to snatch our disciple away. But when he was discovered by us, seeing that he couldn’t escape our pursuit, he actually slapped the kid to death ruthlessly without a single bit of hesitation! This… this kind of behaviour… is downright despicable and shameless! Even if old Cao was willing to let him off, the six of us wouldn’t! How could he even bear to do that? That kid is a rare seedling that had a guaranteed bright future! The Free and Natural Physique ah! I… F*ck!”
Bai Qi Feng gritted his teeth with anger. As he spoke to here, his facial muscles were twitching visibly. His eyes blazed with rage and in the end, he directly cursed aloud!
“WHAT? That can’t be?” Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu gasped aloud and looked at each other with disbelief. If this was true, the matter was extremely serious! Who didn’t know that Cao Guo Feng had been searching for a successor to groom for decades? To actually kill the disciple whom he valued so much with a single slap… moreover, this disciple was a talent with the Free and Natural Physique!
This Zhan Mu Bai was truly gutsy. If it were the two of them, they would never dare to do such a thing!
This was a deathly grudge! To Cao Guo Feng, such a level of hatred was no different than if his father was killed and his wife was raped!
The way the two looked at Zhan Mu Bai completely changed in an instant. It was as if they were beholding a tall mountain in awe… To be able to do such dumb stuff, Zhan Mu Bai was practically even crazier than the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master…
“We pursued that f*cker all the way to here. And look, there’s the black shirt right there… When we arrived, Zhan Mu Bai was just taking it off… All of us saw it with our own eyes. Can it be fake?” Bai Qi Feng’s voice turned colder and colder. “Besides, is there even a need for us to plot and frame a Saint Emperor from your three Holy Lands??”
“This… this… could it be real? Old Zhan really did something so crazy?” The two Saint Emperors were completely speechless. Even in their wildest dreams, no one would be able to imagine that Zhan Mu Bai would do something like that!
“Believe it if you will! This one is not in a mood to play with you all!” Bai Qi Feng rolled his eyes, nearly blowing his top. Although the other side was two Saint Emperors, Bai Qi Feng was not afraid of them at all. Since they’d already fallen out, what difference was there in fighting two more Saint Emperors? In any case, the anger in his chest still had no place to vent!
Those words were said without any bit of courtesy at all. But to Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu, it actually added credibility to his words!
Cao Guo Feng was steady and scheming, and Bai Qi Feng was as sharp as a sword. The two of them together were the golden duo of the Misty Illusory Manor. And the two of them were the least likely people to intentionally provoke a discord between the Misty Illusory Manor and the three Holy Lands.
Even if there was a one in a million possibility, the person initiating the fight would have been Bai Qi Feng. But the one who initiated the fight was actually the normally steady, calm, and unflustered Cao Guo Feng. On top of that, Cao Guo Feng and Zhan Mu Bai had several hundred years of friendship! If it wasn’t that something really happened that caused this third level Saint Emperor to completely lose his mind, this normally composed and far-sighted old man would never act so rashly!
Could it be that Zhan Mu Bai really did such a dumb thing?
But… regardless of the circumstances, they couldn’t possibly just sit back and watch Zhan Mu Bai get slaughtered by the people from the Misty Illusory Manor…
The two exchanged a glance and quickly arrived at a decision. Raising their voices, they shouted, “Stop fighting! We have some words to say!”
Before their words could finish, a loud bang rang out, and a figure shot down from the sky, slamming uncontrollably like a ragged dog into the side of the wall, continuously smashing through and tumbling for a long time before finally coming to a stop. A person crawled up from the ground, his face grey with dust, and his hair dishevelled. Roaring with rage, he jumped out with a sousound. This person—apart from Zhan Mu Bai, who else could it be?!
On the other side, Cao Guo Feng landed unsteadily, stumbling many steps backwards. Every step left deep footprints on the ground, sending stone fragments flying high into the air.
He continuously stumbled for 20, 30 steps, but was still unable to dispel the momentum, slamming heavily into the wall. With a loud boom, the entire wall collapsed. However, Cao Guo Feng finally stopped, and with a shake of his shoulders, he stood up straightly.
With his white beard flowing magnificently, his eyes were practically blazing like fire! With a loud shout, he once again charged towards Zhan Mu Bai, wanting to continue the fight!
Which person’s eyes weren’t wide open at this point? Through this exchange of blows, Zhan Mu Bai had been smashed down from the sky in an extremely wretched manner, to the point where he couldn’t even stand properly, and blood was flowing from his mouth. As for Cao Guo Feng, he’d only been forced a few steps and ended up with a slightly reddened face. It was obvious that Zhan Mu Bai had taken a huge loss! If things continued like this, he might really lose his life to Cao Guo Feng.
“Stop!”
He Zhi Qiu and He Zhi Qiu hurriedly rushed over, blocking Cao Guo Feng’s path. “Brother Cao, wait a moment, please listen to us for a moment!”
Cao Guo Feng saw them coming to stop him, but not Zhan Mu Bai, and he instantly grew enraged. “The three of you wish to join hands against me? Hehe, even if the three of you come together, this Cao has nothing to fear! Today, it’s either you die or I perish!”
“Brother Cao, you misunderstand.” Hai Wu Ya said with a bitter smile. From the looks of it, Cao Guo Feng was truly enraged. To actually pick a fight with all of them indiscriminately!
Cao Guo Feng hadn’t even had enough time to reply when loud popping sounds rang out. Looking over, they only saw Bai Qi Feng already pouncing on Zhan Mu Bai. One was already a spent force and injured, while the other was fresh and raring to go. Even without these factors, the both of them were second level Saint Emperors, similar in strength.
Who was in the advantage was already a clear result.
Zhan Mu Bai practically did not have the time to counter at all before he received a few fierce punches on his face.
“Bai Qi Feng! Even you want to go against me?! Your Misty Illusory Manor is actually so shameless and unbridled?!” At this moment, Zhan Mu Bai was already angered to an extreme level.
Dear Heavens ah, great Earth ah! Just who have I offended? Who the f*ck have I offended? F*ck, even if you want to bully a person, there must be a reasonable explanation, right?
All of you are Saint Emperor experts ah, if all of you behave in such an unreasonable manner and just beat people up without any explanation, who can endure it? What the hell is going on? You guys even skipped the step of maligning me and directly attacked? Is there still any reason in this world?
“Brother Bai, stop! Please stop! Have mercy!” Hai Wu Ya hurriedly cried out. He could only use his voice and did not dare to stop him by force. The moment he attacked, it would mean that this was a fight between the three Holy Lands and the Misty Illusory Manor! That was a heavy responsibility that they couldn’t handle.
But how fast was a fight between Saint Emperor level experts? In the time that it took for that single sentence to be said, Zhan Mu Bai’s face was already turned into patches of black and blue. His two eyes were swollen and black, like a panda’s eyes. Blood stained the corners of his mouth, and his expression was incredibly wretched to the extreme!
After a long battle, although he looked to be in a disadvantage, and his appearance was rather unsightly, but his face wasn’t really damaged. His image was still intact. But in the span of such a short time, Bai Qi Feng had beaten him into such a horrible state. And all of those blows had been directed against his face, causing this Saint Emperor Zhan to look like a pig’s head!
By the time Hai Wu Ya flew over and pulled Bai Qi Feng away, Zhan Mu Bai was already in a dazed state after receiving tens of blows to his head…
All the experts of the three Holy Lands had ugly looks on their faces. This was surely a bit too much… Everyone is a famed expert of the world; is there a need to be so ruthless? Even if you killed him, you shouldn’t hit his face ah!
The last leader of the three Holy Lands, He Zhi Qiu, noticed that the other five experts of the Misty Illusory Manor were actually still displaying clear killing intent in their eyes. It was obvious to see that they simply had not had the chance to attack just now, and Bai Qi Feng was a little faster than them. If they had the chance, the five of them would not necessarily refrain from attacking themselves.
He Zhi Qiu took a deep breath secretly with shock. Just what kind of trouble had Zhan Mu Bai stirred up? To actually cause seven Saint Emperors to be so angry? From the looks of it, seven of them were already prepared to join hands and tear him apart!
“This matter might be a misunderstanding! Everyone, please refrain from acting rashly. All of us have been old brothers for several hundred years. Is there any matter that we cannot sit down and talk over properly?” Although He Zhi Qiu knew that the enmity this time was definitely not light; however, he couldn’t not speak up for Zhan Mu Bai and just sit at the side and watch while they beat him up! No matter what, the Misty Illusory Manor was still an outsider.
Cao Guo Feng snorted disdainfully and raised his chin. “It’s impossible to settle today’s matter peacefully anymore. With a single slap from that dog Zhan Mu Bai, the disciple that this old man spent several hundred years to find was turned to nothing! This enmity is unresolvable, and it’s not possible for us to share the same sky anymore! Zhan Mu Bai is a narrow minded scoundrel who’s jealous of the good and envious of the talented. If this old man is not given a satisfying explanation today, even if this old man must kill his way into the Elusive World of Immortals, I will get my justice!”
“Cao Guo Feng! You old bastard!” Zhan Mu Bai had just managed to crawl up from the ground, and his entire face was covered in his own blood. He was so humiliated that he was already thinking about killing himself. Shrieking like a ghost, he cried, “Cao Guo Feng, you truly go too far in your bullying! First, you cursed at me for no good reason, then you attacked ruthlessly without saying anything! Could it be that I, Zhan Mu Bai, should be bullied by you as you please?! This old man has always done things in an open and aboveboard manner. Even if I examined my conscience, I have nothing to feel guilty about. How am I a narrow minded scoundrel who’s jealous of the good and envious of the talented?!”
“Your mother’s fart! A scoundrel like you actually dares to claim to be open and aboveboard, having a clear conscience? Who among the people here doesn’t know about your dirty deeds? We’ll not talk about the stuff that’s too far in the past. Just recently in Tian Fa Forest, you actually sneak attacked a junior several hundred years younger than you. A despicable person like you actually has the cheek to claim to be open and aboveboard? Do you even believe your own words?! Since Jun Mo Xie is a mortal enemy of your three Holy Lands, it’s fine to not talk about whether you were shameless or not… But today, you actually dare to kill my disciple right in front of me! Zhan Mu Bai, do you really think that the Elusive World of Immortals can protect you? You think that this old man really does not dare touch your Elusive World of Immortals?!” Cao Guo Feng scoffed coldly.
