Chapter 688: Six Venerables!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“So the Nine Nether Second Young Master experienced the full resistance of the three Holy Lands and Misty Illusory Manor! Under the siege of all the people, the Nine Nether Second Young Master actually chose to deal with all of them single-handedly without any fear, trying to win with brutal force. Unfortunately, sometimes the power of man is limited, and eventually, he was defeated. He found an opportunity to escape and decided to harass the world with guerrilla warfare. It took more than twenty years for everyone to finally get rid of Nine Nether Second Young Master... but by then, everyone was exhausted.
“And then, around every hundred years, a person would pop out of the Nine Nether Sanctuary! Every generation was equally arrogant and wanted to conquer the world! And we could only fight him off with the power of the Misty Illusory Manor! Therefore, the Misty Illusory Manor and the Nine Nether Sanctuary became home to archenemies! So for more than ten thousand years, a total of fourteen of them turned up!”
“Fourteen madmen!” Jun Mo Xie concluded. “Thirteen exceptionally powerful madmen and an unstoppable successful one! The First Master was also mad, but he succeeded! History is always written by the victor! So he became the father of Xuan Qi, but the other thirteen are merely madmen!”
Mei Xue Yan sighed helplessly. “The weirdest of all is the location of the Nine Nether Sanctuary. It appeared in the Tian Fa Forest last time... and it brought a great deal of devastation to Tian Fa Forest...
“The Misty Illusory Manor again gathered forces to deal with the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master. He was injured and returned to the Nine Nether Sanctuary. He’s the only surviving Young Master now, and as he returned, we finally found the location of the Nine Nether Sanctuary. So the Misty Illusory Manor sealed the entrance of the Nine Nether Sanctuary. That was four hundred years ago. The experts of the Misty Illusory Manor sent ten experts to place the Mist to cover the entire Nine Nether Sanctuary. But in case of an emergency, they still needed experts to man the place. The Nine Nether Sanctuary appeared in Tian Fa Forest, so we had no excuses. After discussing, the Saint King agreed to go. But we didn’t expect that the Mist only allowed entrance and no retreat. So the strongest forces of the Tian Fa Forest were trapped inside...”
Mei Xue Yan made a sad smile. “So Tian Fa Forest has become weaker until today! And in the past hundred years, there’s occasionally a ground-trembling sound emerging from the Mist. I suppose it’s the Fourteen Young Master trying to break the seal! Perhaps he will soon succeed. I wonder if we still have enough strength to deal with a madman like him after the low profile he kept for so many years...”
Everyone couldn’t help hold their breath to keep quiet as Mei Xue Yan spoke. The history was so astounding, and they would never have known all the dramatic events of the continent if not for Mei Xue Yan.
“But why is there no myth about them in the secular world if all these Young Masters wreaked so much havoc?” Jun Mo Xie asked the question that everyone was curious about.
“There are two reasons. Firstly, although they were all very ambitions, they killed no civilians due to their arrogance. Secondly, all the battles were staged in deserted places. Even when the Young Masters tried to escape, they would only hide in forests and mountains. So it’s very difficult for the secular world to know.”
Mei Xue Yan said seriously, “You have to know that even large cities like Tian Xiang would be completely destroyed after a battle of these top experts. We cannot imagine how devastating those battles can get!” Mei Xue Yan smiled bitterly.
“It would cause uncontrollable panic to the secular world if the stories were really to spread! Battles among Superior Supremes would only be situated at remote locations, let alone such battles. Just like how the three Holy Lands tries to defeat me; they will only choose forests and mountains. And just as what you’ve said, history is written by the victor, so why would the three Holy Lands or the Misty Illusory Manor leak all this information...”
“Wow, they are very strong and really have quite a temper! I like them!” Jun Mo Xie looked like he was yearning for them. “I really want to make friends with this Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master...”
“Indeed, they do have a similar arrogant and crazy nature to you. But I guess it will remain as your dream. With what you have up your sleeves now, he can crush you with his pinky...” Mei Xue Yan rolled her eyes at Jun Mo Xie, showing her fullest contempt over his unrealistic dream.
“Haha...” Everyone laughed, but they only felt more depressed. What they had heard from Mei Xue Yan really impacted them.
The ignorant ones were always more daring. The more they knew, the more insignificant they felt they were!
Mei Xue Yan said, “It’s really none of our business and we don’t have to struggle over it!”
Jun Mo Xie smiled faintly, “Yes... we should focus on the path right before us! We aren’t worth enough to consider what’s up there while we are still on the lower side of the ladder! I guess we’ll just stop thinking about this until perhaps we’ve reached a Saint cultivation.”
Solitary Eagle laughed bitterly. “Even a Venerable is so distant for me, let alone a Saint. It’s really an eye-opener for me today. I’m so parochial, as are the eight supremes... Sigh...” He sighed in a demoralized manner.
“Solitary Eagle, this is a bad attitude for you. Indeed, knowing all this gives you immense pressure, but do you know why all the experts of the three Holy Lands lost all their greatness and confidence while they were still in the secular world?” Mei Xue Yan said slowly.
Solitary Eagle and Feng Juan Yun were stunned and pondered.
“They began to know this and the same thought and attitude grew within them. They felt that their past arrogance was so laughable that they become decadents. That’s why they’ve lost all their strength and character, turning despicable and exposing their inner evil to the point of no return. That’s why a bunch of Superior Supreme became inferiors who have lost all of their dignity!
“I hope the same tragedy will not replay on the two of you!” Mei Xue Yan was serious.
Solitary Eagle and Feng Juan Yun were suddenly enlightened as they showed their shame about their behavior. Suddenly, they stood up and bowed at Mei Xue Yan. “Thank you, Venerable Mei, for the warning and enlightening the two of us. We will remember your words with utmost appreciation. If we can improve more, it will be attributed to you, Venerable Mei!”
Mei Xue Yan sat there without moving and accepted their bow with comfort. She smiled and said, “Good that you understand! It’s self-containment. As long as you understand and don’t lose confidence, then I’m sure there will be a place for the two of you among the top experts. If not, you will fall and become decadents like those people. It’s all up to you. As for them, they can’t even adjust their attitudes properly; it’s fated for them to end up like this. There’s no need to be pitiful for them.”
Solitary Eagle and Feng Juan Yun bowed again with gratitude.
Jun Mo Xie laughed to ease the atmosphere. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s all personal effort, and everything is possible. One and a half days and we will reach Blizzard Silver City. Xue Yan, how many Saints do you think the three Holy Lands will send this time?”
Mei Xue Yan frowned. “I’m thinking about it as well. But according to their usual protocol, the masters of the three Holy Lands have to agree on the appointment of Saints. After all, Saints are scarce and treasured by all of them! Even the three Holy Lands don’t have many of them... so perhaps there may not even be one. But perhaps they will mobilize the Saints to deal with your teacher...”
“Oh?” Jun Mo Xie was concerned. What if there were really Saints going for his grandfather? It was all a facade at home...
As dawn broke, the army was ready to move again. They mounted the flying beasts and continued the journey!
Eight thousand kilometers! All zooming past in a day of flight!
It was getting colder as they neared Blizzard Silver City. Far in the distance, a permanent whiteness appeared in sight. The Snowy Mountains!
“Blizzard Silver City! We’re coming!” Big Bear was very excited as he flung his limbs around on the back of a giant crane. He yelled very loudly and the sound waves washed away all the fluffy clouds beside!
The noise was greeted by Han Yan Meng’s eye-rolling. And then a buff man on the back of the adjacent crane looked over at Big Bear with great affection, just like how a lady would look at a hero... of course Big Bear was not aware of this.
Jun Mo Xie praised Big Bear on the back of the Eagle King. “What a holler! What a sound wave! Wave after wave, waving the ground stronger than the previous waves...”
The Eagle King almost lost control and headed right down...
Bro... what are you talking about? Can you say something that doesn’t short-circuit my brain? We’re ten kilometers above the ground... it’s very dangerous...
It was evening, and they were only two hundred fifty kilometers away from the Snowy Mountains!
They were already in the realm of blizzards and snow. A couple of miles forward and it would be the territory of Blizzard Silver City. Mei Xue Yan whistled and all the Xuan Beasts landed.
A night of rest and they would be facing Blizzard Silver City tomorrow!
Just as they finished setting up the tents...
“Is Venerable Mei of Tian Fa here? We are old friends of you, and we hope you will meet us!” An elegant voice drifted over, and everyone was shocked.
They had just arrived and visitors were already here?
That was quick!
Jun Mo Xie stood up and signaled for no one to follow and went side by side with Mei Xue Yan.
Suddenly, six immense presences crashed down, making it hard for everyone to breath!
Just as the pressure filled the entire atmosphere, six figures suddenly appeared in the distance. They looked like black dots on the snowy fields!
The black dots slowly became beans, then fists. With a blink of eye, they were within five meters of the couple!
All of them looked serious and stern. Twelve eyes were sharp like lightning as they stared at Mei Xue Yan and Jun Mo Xie! Jun Mo Xie suddenly felt that as if his clothes were gone, and even his soul was being watched by these stares.
Jun Mo Xie was shocked as his muscles tightened. He quickly called out the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune and the fear suddenly went away.
They moved like wind!
Looking at the six, Mei Xue Yan’s pupils suddenly contracted as her vigilance boomed! Her hostility immediately kicked in!
All six of them were top experts!
Six Venerables!
