Chapter 885: The Prologue Begins!

This sign clearly showed that the effects of that drip of Golden Jade Fluid was not what these two people could bear, or even greatly beyond the limits of their endurance!

The current situation was undoubtedly extremely dangerous, and as long as any one of them was unable to bear this violent surge of spirit energy, they would bring the other person down along with them, exploding into smithereens at the same time! And right now, the two of them formed a circle loop for the energy with their palms, and the violent spirit energy was still circulating rapidly. They were also unable to separate anymore...

This was a moment of crisis that hangs by a thread!

Gradually, surrounding the two of their bodies protecting them...

As if, with a tad of unwillingness...

This was Jun Mo Xie's cleverness.

He had long predicted that if the two of them really were unable to endure it and exploded to death, at that final moment, the Hongjun Pagoda would definitely protect its owner, but it would only protect himself and wouldn't be bothered with Mei Xue Yan's life or death!

So the moment he noticed that something might go wrong, he joined his body with Mei Xue Yan's into a double cultivation, combining the spirit energy of them both into a single entity!

In this way, if the Hongjun Pagoda wants to save him, then it would also have to save Mei Xue Yan!

If it doesn't save me... hehe, does it dare?

So Young Master Jun had brazenly set this advancement operation into motion entirely because he had a strong backing like Hongjun Pagoda!

Or else... why would Jun Mo Xie dare to rashly use the Golden Jade Fluid which could cause even an immortal to explode and die? He wasn't that sick of living...

Naturally, he mustn't tell Mei Xue Yan the complete truth, otherwise this girl would definitely not let him take the risk. And she also doesn't really know how certain I am...

Let's complete the advancement first... Let it be done and cannot be changed first... Then see how it goes...

Time seemed to creep past slowly. It had already been seven whole days since the Chen Family was completely annihilated.

The Chrysanthemum City was extremely peaceful, maintaining its bustling sight as before. And it was not like no one had noticed that the once powerful Chrysanthemum City was completely gone without a trace, but definitely no one imagined that the talk of Chrysanthemum City, the Chen Family, had already completely perished with great hatred...

The manor of the Chen Family had already been taken into possession by Zhan Mu Bai and the rest, living unusually calm and peaceful. These people had spent hundreds of years killing and massacring. Killing a couple of people for the sake of the three Holy Lands meant that it was for the sake of the future of humans, for the future of Xuan Xuan Continent, and everything was in the name of justice! It was open and candid!

So what if we killed some people? And what's more, a subservient family like a lowly servant? If they're killed, then they're killed!

And they were already used to staying in the place of the victim after killing them. So if there was anything they found displeasing, it was probably the fact that there were no servants at their disposal, so they had to do everything on their own. But to experts like them who had 'retreated from the secular world', the lavishness of the human world was nothing to be attached to!!

Of course, not everyone was so at ease with themselves. One person was tormented during this entire period, and this was Qiao Ying!

This powerful, highly-skilled All Seeing Rakshesha had lost tremendous weight during these seven days!

The other people could remain self-righteous and have no qualms, eating, drinking and sleeping, with no feelings of uneasiness. But Qiao Ying couldn't...

The great beauty Qiao had the All Seeing Eye and effect of the All Seeing Eye this time was even more clearer this time. And the news it brought back was one hundred percent negative.

Qiao Ying only needed to open her eyes to see the ghosts of the Chen Family, wailing, criticizing, and crying tears of blood... Every night, there were countless of spirits weaving around, angrily condemning the people from the Holy Lands.

Especially the room of Zhan Mu Bai; inside and outside, it was packed with people.

But their enemy was too powerful; as humans, they had no way to put up any form of resistance. Now that they were ghosts, there was still nothing they could do. The powerful Xuan Qi of Saint level experts were the bane of spirits' existence. As long as they went near, they would be in danger of having their souls scattered anytime.

Other people couldn't see it, but it didn't mean that Qiao Ying couldn't! And not only could she see it, she could hear it too! But she had no suitable measures to take. If she were a cruel person, she only needed to allow her powerful Xuan Qi from her body to explode out and allow these ghosts to be thoroughly destroyed. But how could the kindhearted her do that? Besides, Zhan Mu Bai was in the wrong for this whole matter! So she could only watch those countless ghosts float about and cry in anguish...

Actually, if Qiao Ying shut off her All Seeing Eye, she wouldn't have to see anything. But... after seeing and listening to everything once, who could resist it? Even if they felt bitterly disappointed the more they watched, there was the irresistible urge to continue looking...

And during this period of time, through observing these wronged souls one sidedly, Qiao Ying thoroughly understood the true reason the Chen Family was annihilated. This left her furious at what Zhan Mu Bai had done!

The people involved in the Chen Family who were evil were only a few dozen people; even if you want to kill them all to serve as a warning, that has nothing to do with the regular servants... But Zhan Mu Bai had viciously eradicated every single one of them...

So during this period of time, Qiao Ying had brought up the idea of punishing Zhan Mu Bai numerous times! A life for killing lives, using it as a warning to the rest of the three Holy Lands that they must not be this blatant and unrighteous when doing things. But the two guardians who had came along with her opposed it.

Zhan Mu Bai was a Saint Emperor of the three Holy Lands and was a great contributor in strength to protect the Xuan Xuan Continent in the War for Seizing the Heavens. If he had to pay with his life for killing a few people from the secular world... then was there any logic in this world? This proposal was a little ridiculous!

In a fit of anger, Qiao Ying moved out of the Chen Family into a inn alone.

During this period of time, every day passed by extremely slowly for the people from the three Holy Lands. Where have all the assassins from Dongfang Family and those mysterious experts gone? Why is there no news of them?

Even if you come out to create a commotion and not let us catch you, just letting us know that you all still exist works too...

They are anxious, but Dongfang Wen Qing and the rest who were hiding were even more anxious. They had already stayed in that hidden place for over ten days. Aside from showing his face for the first couple of days, there had been completely no news from him in the past seven days. As if he had disappeared from the surface of the earth...

And the last order Young Master Jun had left was a single word: Wait!

"Wait! Wait, wait, wait, when do we have to wait until?! This little b*stard! What sort of trick is this; when he returns, let's see if I'll beat his ass!"

Dongfang First Master sounded extremely agitated and seem furious, but he completely understood the current situation and did not dare to act recklessly. Because if it were him alone, he could act recklessly and sacrifice his own life and it wouldn't be a problem. But if he implicated so many people to throw their life away, especially when there were so many lives here that were not from the Dongfang Family... This was the greatest worry of the Dongfang First Master, so even if it is frustrating, he had no other choice but to continue waiting...

With the passing of time, news continued to come in. The confirmed targets from before had all been successfully killed, aside from this place.

The assassins from the Dongfang Family had long returned back to their own missions assigned by the Dongfang Family. As to the few assassins from Jun Mo Xie's Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer, they had all begun to infiltrated Chrysanthemum City.

Dongfang Wen Qing even knew that these people were definitely already here in Chrysanthemum City. But he had no general idea of where they were located. But Dongfang First Master found this matter fascinating. Although Chrysanthemum City was not his own territory, but the reports were still coming in and out smoothly. All these people were coming in from all directions, but they all vanished without a trace, like a droplet of water blending into the waters in the ocean and he was only left completely baffled... How was this achieved?

Chrysanthemum City may not be small, but it isn't exactly big... All those people from the three Holy Lands have all that spiritual sense and all, so how come they couldn't even catch one? Looks like the people under this nephew of mine are quite capable!

Speaking of Mo Xie, that lad, what has this brat been up to these few days? I'm really going to be driven to my death from the wait!

Not only was the Dongfang First Master impatient, there was one more person who was feeling a little impatient: the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master.

This great lunatic had been waiting everyday. My injuries have already recovered to the level when I broke out of the seal in Tian Fa, and I'm definitely capable of putting up many fights already, but why is there no more news from that 'Old Master'?

You should continue creating a ruckus! You finally destroyed the alliance between the two of them, but why did you disappear at such an extremely crucial time? What are you afraid of? Don't you have me behind you?

This really gives headaches. I wanted to borrow this great opportunity that this lad provided to teach the three Holy Lands a good lesson, but from the looks of it now... Sigh...

Yet another two days passed...

The Saint Emperors from the three Holy Lands were also unable to bear it anymore.

It was late at night, and the whole Chrysanthemum City was silent. The oil lamp in the study room of the Chen Family which belonged to Chen Qing Tian was still lit...

Hai Wu Ya was holding onto his cup of hot tea. He frowned and said, "Are we being fools? Could it be that all those people weren't here in the first place, all the things were just false alarms, and they had already gone elsewhere already? And one more important thing; those people's objective for this operation is that Chen Qing Tian, who is already dead. Will they just stop and retreat like this?"

"No way, they definitely wouldn't." Zhan Mu Bai said. "Since they already created such a big commotion and came in so blatantly, they definitely won't retreat without achieving anything. Those people who are hiding in the shadows harbored evil intentions, and their real targets were never the Chen Family. It has always been us, from start to end! Now that we are already here, how could they retreat?" Recent matters had caused this Saint Emperor who looked benevolent and carefree to change, his peaceful looking appearance containing a trace of evilness.

"Brother Zhan is right! We have already been strictly guarding the four gates during this period of time; there are Saints keeping watch every day. Although there are a few suspicious people who came in, but they definitely did not exit!" He Zhi Qiu said with a heavy look on his face. "So they are definitely within the City currently! It's just that we don't know where they've holed up. We don't need to do anything but wait silently, until they are no longer to endure it. They'll jump out on their own! We should just focus on reserving our strength and biding our time."

He laughed arrogantly. "With our current strength, we don't even need to do anything! No matter what tricks they pull, it wouldn't have any effect! And there will be no accidents; we only need to wait for the battle to arrive. When this battle is over, then we will need to wait patiently for the War for Seizing the Heavens. That also needs us to wait quietly... It's better to wait now, since at least we still have something to do. It's much better than holing up in the mountain waiting for time to pass."

Zhan Mu Bai and Hai Wu Ya laughed simultaneously.

At this time, suddenly, a sharp pitiful cry ripped through the night sky!

This extremely pitiful cry was like a lightning that cut through the silence of the night, causing everyone to feel their hair stand on end! That sort of despair in the cry, in so much pain that they wished they were dead, sent shivers down people's spines!

Everyone's back felt cold... What happened?

And although this cry was the last sound the person made before he died, the person who had let out such a terrible cry was clearly an expert! And a top expert! Because the whole of Chrysanthemum City could hear it clearly!

Someone who had such immense power had to be at a Saint level!

But the moment a cry like this was made, whoever or whatever that made the noise definitely had no chance of surviving!

Zhan Mu Bai and the other Saint Emperors instantly stood up and exchanged looks, a serious look on their faces.

"That is Xia Dong Ting's voice!" Hai Wu Ya said with confidence, his face muscles convulsing as his pupils dilated and a cold gleam shot from them. The fury in his heart had clearly reached its limit!

Xia Dong Ting was a Saint expert belonging to the Illusory Blood Sea. He was a superb Xuan cultivator, but right now, he let out this sort of dreadful cry!

"Let's go! Hurry!" Zhan Mu Bai was instantly filled with rage, disappearing from the study room with a whoosh. Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu also followed after and vanished simultaneously...

The flame remained still and unmoving in the study room. These three people had left at such a fast speed, but the flame had not moved even the slightest...

The prologue to an inhuman bloodbath began with this blood curdling screech!
