Chapter 890: Whose Idea Was It?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master stood up slowly, as if he didn’t even notice the experts of the three Holy Lands gathering around him. Or perhaps, he didn’t place them in his sight at all. He simply lifted his head and looked at the sky, as if he was pondering something.
The situation before his eyes; just what was happening!
The situation had caused even this lunatic of a generation to sink into deep confusion!
Although he was facing the crowd and his face was lifted, no one could see his face clearly, without exception. It was as if he was just an indistinct shadow…
In the instant that Qiao Ying arrived, she opened her All Seeing Eye and looked towards the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master.
She naturally wanted to take a good look at the true appearance of this demon! Such a good chance did not come by easily for her to observe him at such a close distance!
However, Qiao Ying was doomed to be disappointed. Because all she saw was still just a clump of mist!
The All Seeing Eye that she had so much faith in to see through anything, actually could not even pierce through the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s veil!
This discovery had caused Qiao Ying to feel incomparably shocked!
“Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, we’ve not seen each other for more than 300 years; your bearings are as before ah, how delightful.” Cheng Yin Xiao looked over and lifted his head, smiling lightly as he said. His tone carried a hint of warning as he offered words of congratulations and respect.
Compared to the enmity of the three Holy Lands and the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, Cheng Yin Xiao’s attitude was much warmer. Because he knew that the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master position among all of the three Holy Lands’ enemies was always behind the strange races! Although the threat he posed by himself was even greater than the threat that the strange races posed!
This was the high level awareness of a Guardian! Although both sides would still need to engage in a battle of life and death, it wasn’t due to hatred or enmity, but because of a difference in ideologies!
“Cheng Yin Xiao, I remember you. You old fellow hasn’t changed much either, still having that half dead face…” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s head was still raised to the sky. He didn’t turn to look at Cheng Yin Xiao, but he still called out his name accurately.
“There’s me too, Fourteenth Young Master, you didn’t only remembering Old Chen but forgot about me, right?” Qu Wu Hui said with a light chuckle.
“How could I? Willful Wild Saber Qu Wu Hui… this Young Master is truly a bit regretful. Three hundred over years ago, this Young Master almost had the opportunity to make you worthy of your title, but fell short by a bit, allowing you to return by luck…” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master said with a faint sigh of regret.
“Bullsh*t!” Qu Wu Hui roared loudly and jumped out. “That was because this daddy was careless, falling for your trick… How about… the two of us go for a few round right now!”
“Even if we fight another 10 rounds, you won’t be a match for me!” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master snorted coldly. “Heaven Saint Palace’s Sky Sword and Wild Saber; the names of the two top experts are just two scoundrels. Still… two scoundrels are still somewhat better than the lowlife scums down there. I guess this Young Master can feel somewhat comforted.”
As he said this, the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master stared coldly at Zhan Mu Bai and the rest. His disdain was clearly displayed, without the need for words!
As a Saint Emperor, Zhan Mu Bai actually felt his eyes sting when the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s gaze pierced into his eyes, causing his eyes to water as if he was on the verge of crying.
Cheng Yin Xiao laughed aloud, not minding the snide remarks. “If we’re scoundrels, then Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, you can also be considered as an utter villain. All of us are the same; there’s really no need to be so courteous.”
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master chuckled and smiled. “Not pretentious as expected! All of you are here, and so am I. Looks like our final showdown is destined to be at this place? Or should we pick another time for it?”
Cheng Yin Xiao smiled lightly and raised his brows slightly. “Could it be that Fourteenth Young Master also cannot wait to carry out a killing spree? Your old friend is right here; don’t tell me, there’s no face to speak of??”
“A few people here must die!” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master said coldly. “Even if the entire world’s face was brought to me and stacked in front of me, I must still kill those people! Moreover, when have the faces of the both of you ever meant anything?”
“Dare I ask who those few people are?” Qu Wu Hui asked lowly.
“The people I look down upon the most in this life are those who sneak around despicably, attacking people who are down and injured! Especially… when they’re in the higher position, to actually use methods like sneak attacks and encirclement. For those people, I would never let even a single one of them off!” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master said blandly.
“I understand now. You’re referring to the Saint Emperors who sneak attacked and plotted against you back at Tian Fa Forest when you broke through the seal.” Cheng Yin Xiao nodded lightly, instantly understanding his words. Without pausing, he asked again. “Fourteenth Young Master, dare I ask… If they hadn’t used such methods and fought against you individually, how much chance would they stand? How much chance would they have of leaving alive?”
“What a ludicrous question! If it’s a fair battle, this Young Master would definitely be able to snap their necks in the blink of an eye! Fighting individually against me? Are they worthy of that?” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master laughed madly.
“That’s right! They’re indeed unworthy!” Cheng Yin Xiao scoffed lowly. “Since you knew that they couldn’t fight head on against you, you still hope that they would fight against you fairly, not employing any tactics? Everyone has their own point of view. You have your reason for wanting to kill them, and they also should have their rights for wanting to sneak attacks you. Fourteenth Young Master, if they had the strength to fight against you head on… do you think that anyone would be willing to use despicable measures? It’s because they don’t have the strength to fight fairly against you, but they have their reasons for wanting to kill you. If they don’t use sneak attacks, what other methods can they use?!”
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master snorted and rolled his eyes. “Those words are indeed right! Everyone indeed has their own reasons. But after choosing their course of action, they should also need to bear the responsibility of the consequences themselves!
“So… If you want to kill someone, you can! But don’t go around wielding your so called reasons. Because no matter what reason you have, it’s all just ludicrous and laughable!”
Qu Wu Hui laughed coldly and said, “In this world, all reasons can be torn down. No matter if it’s righteous, filthy, despicable, or even born out of having no choice, reasons are just a means to shirk responsibility! They’re all just rubbish! Only ability is the best reason; the right reason!”
He looked steadily at the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master and said slowly, “And you, have this true reason in your grasp. Because things like despicableness and shamelessness are not the real reason that they should die. The true reason is your strength, and just your strength!”
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master laughed wildly and smiled. “Well said! Truly well said! Because of those words of yours, this one will not do anything to you all today. I guess I can let them live a few more days, and allow me some more time to prepare a little, and coordinate a bit; HAHAHA…”
Having been lectured by the two of them, he actually wasn’t angered at the slightest.
However, Cheng Yin Xiao and Qu Wu Hui’s heart sunk in an instant. With the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s skills, what would he still need to prepare? Who did he need to coordinate with? That was a huge question!
But after exchanging a look, the two did not continue asking. Because they knew that this Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master would definitely not tell them anything more. They could only be more careful from here on.
“Fourteenth Young Master, I’d like to ask you one more thing.” Cheng Yin Xiao’s eyes grew heated. The only reason such an intense situation had occurred was all for the sake of asking this question, because it was extremely important for him.
“Who was… that person just now?” Cheng Yin Xiao took a step forward and his eyes fell on the tree again as he asked. “That person who was here just now; who was it?”
The moment this question came out, everyone perked their ears with interest. All of them had been relatively far away at the time, and only the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master was the closest. Although the rest of them hadn’t managed to see anything, but from the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s position, and with his skills, he must have seen something.
“Regrettably, I have no idea as well!” A strange look appeared in the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s eyes as he said this, seemingly fearful, and admiring at the same time as he continued lightly. “I’ve indeed watched for a long time, but I didn’t see even a shadow of a person at all! From the start to the end, the lightning had simply been striking this tree, and then disappearing…”
He laughed bitterly and shook his head. “When I came here earlier, I tested my strength on this tree and actually blasted through it…” As he said that, he waved his sleeves and dust flew everywhere. A large hole could be seen on the trunk of the tree…
Everyone’s suspicion were cleared in an instant. However, the doubts and confusion in their minds had instead thickened.
Just who was it?
“No matter who it is, that person is most definitely a peerless expert of this world. Even this Young Master has no choice but to admit inferiority!” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master sighed with some disappointment.
Cheng Yin Xiao and Qu Wu Hui both understood very clearly what this sigh of the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master meant. All along, everyone had acknowledged that the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master was the number one expert of this world. Even the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master himself also felt so!
Nobody thought of it as being arrogant. Since there was never a person who could defeat the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, this had already become an undeniable fact!
So against the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, people could only ever fight in with great numbers!
Moreover, it wasn’t just one or two people joining hands.
Now that someone like that had appeared, even the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master felt incredibly inferior in comparison! Just the scene of the huge lightning tribulation was enough to drag him down from his prized seat as number one in the world.
Who could imagined what kind of depressed feelings the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master was holding right now?
“I’m confident of enduring that lightning tribulation just now as well.” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master said heavily. “However, I can’t do it like that person… not ever!”
“Swallowing the lightning tribulation!” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master added these four words to the sentence in his heart.
Cheng Yin Xiao and Qu Wu Hui exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat lost.
The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master thought for a moment and suddenly asked, “You asked me a question, and I’ve answered. Now, I shall ask you a question too, and you shall answer me.” His eyes grew fierce, like a pair of sharp swords that sliced through the night air!
“What is it? As long as I know about it, I will definitely reply honestly!” Qu Wu Hui could hear the dangerous tone in the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s voice, and instantly knew that this question was most likely not easy to answer. His heart turned heavy as a result as well.
This question was actually something that could rile up the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s anger. Just this point alone meant that it was definitely not a simple question!
“Nine Firmament First Old Master… who came up with this name? Whose idea was it?!” The Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master gritted his teeth as he asked, the ferocious glint in his eyes growing ever more intense!
