Chapter 814: Series of Schemes

The old madam continued slowly. “The three Holy Lands... still want their faces right now... but this face... is destined to be unable to be kept for much longer... our prediction will come true sooner or later!

“Therefore, we need to choose our future contracts much more carefully. For example, those Supreme level hits are already far out of our capabilities. For those kinds of missions, we can reject them directly using this reason!” The old madam continued. “We will begin our negotiation from the lowest level, then concentrate our strength and attack the high Xuan Qi level targets...”

A sharp gleam flashed in the old madam’s eyes. “This time, they want to force us and suppress us, but isn’t it also the most excellent opportunity for our Dongfang Family to expand and grow stronger? As the saying goes, fortune and glory are gained from risky situations; where there are advantages, there are also disadvantages! It may not necessarily be impossible to turn danger into opportunity. Safe and risk-free ventures are also the hardest to profit from... This kind of situation where risk and danger are abound is exactly the best environment for opportunities to thrive! If we want to regain our glory, how could it not be without winds and rain? Even if we end up failing, what is there to fear?”

“Mother is right! The three Holy Lands want to use such methods to suppress us and force Mo Xie to come out. We’ll let them have a taste of what it means to try to steal a chicken, only to end up losing the rice! We will use the strength of the small to fight the mighty. Even if we lose, nobody will laugh at us; but if we win, that would be truly amazing!” Dongfang Wen Qing smiled and agreed.

As she watched her three sons walking out, Old Madam Dongfang’s optimistic expression disappeared in an instant. What replaced it was a heavy gloominess. “Using the strength of the weak to contend against the mighty? Indeed... If we can pass through this tribulation safely, a great fortune will naturally follow! The Dongfang Family will also become as mighty as a mountain, impossible to topple! But... while that is true... the tribulations this time are truly extremely hard to overcome...”

***

While the Duanmu Family, Sikong Family, Blizzard Silver City, and the Dongfang Family were feeling extremely depressed right now, the three Holy Lands were depressed to the point where they wanted to vomit blood! At the very least, they were at least ten thousand times more depressed than those families!

Previously, they had split their forces in two directions, sending 600 experts to Blizzard Silver City to stop Jun Mo Xie and Mei Xue Yan’s forces. But in the end, the entire group was wiped out!

Furthermore, the strongest expert of that bunch, the Elusive World of Immortals’s Palace Lord Mo Wu Dao’s blood brother, Mo Xiao Yao, also lost his life there as well! Such a result, and such heavy losses, were undoubtedly unthinkable! In the instant they received the news, the usually calm Mo Wu Dao spat out a mouthful of fresh blood on the spot and fainted!

Mo Xiao Yao was Mo Wu Dao’s only kin. The two brothers had shared their life together for over 400 years! Just how deep was their relationship? The arrival of this news undoubtedly broke Mo Wu Dao’s heart!

Upon waking up, he immediately dispatched troops to flatten the Jun Family, Sikong Family, and anyone affiliated with them. However, he was stopped by the Saint King seniors! No matter what kind of losses they had suffered, it was still too unreasonable for them to act against worldly family clans!

Moreover, there were still nine Saints in Tian Xiang. Such a level of power was more than sufficient to shock the heavens and earth!

After his plan was blocked by the upper echelons, Mo Wu Dao changed his strategy and requested to at least allow the nine Saints to kill Mei Xue Yan and Jun Mo Xie to avenge his little brother! This proposal was unanimously agreed upon.

No matter what, Mo Wu Dao’s status was still the Palace Lord of the Elusive World of Immortals. If all his proposals were shot down continuously, there would be no meaning in his position as Palace Lord. How would he be able to convince the masses like that?

Because of that, Mei Xue Yan was surrounded and attacked!

But what the Saint Kings did not expect was that Mei Xue Yan actually disappeared after the attack—or rather, her soul was scattered and destroyed! But with her dying strike, she actually succeeded in pulling the three Saints from the Illusory Blood Sea into the grave with her!

This was an absolutely irreparable loss of gigantic proportions! The patriarch of the Illusory Blood Sea flew into a rage, and his heart ached incredibly! As for the Elusive World of Immortals and the Supreme Golden City, they only sniggered secretly at their misfortune...

Because the Saints on their side were completely unharmed, at most only suffering some light injuries. But the Illusory Blood Sea had lost three Saints. In the internal fights between the three Holy Lands, they had become the most disadvantaged side!

Just like that, the three sides all waited silently for news from the six Saints. But after a long time, there was still no news at all... Unsurprisingly, everyone became somewhat anxious. These Saints were surely a little too draggy in their work? Mei Xue Yan was already dead, so how much of a wave could a mere Jun Mo Xie stir up?

After a long and nerve-wrecking wait, the three Holy Lands finally received some news. The six Saints had disappeared completely, while the Jun Family had already moved out of Tian Xiang...

Those Saints did not stay with anybody and had in fact been hiding in a cave far away. So when something happened to them, nobody knew anything...

After waiting for some more time, the three Holy Lands were finally unable to keep calm and sent people to investigate. Only then did they find out that there was actually an intense battle south of Tian Xiang City. The battle was so intense that mountains had collapsed and the ground had cracked! Even the rivers flowed in reverse!

After that battle, no one from the Jun Family was harmed. And on the second day after that battle, the entire Jun Family moved to Tian Fa Forest!

By the time the three Holy Lands finished their investigations, ten days had already passed!

Six Saints had disappeared without a trace! Their life and death were unknown...

Another several days later, the experts who were posted to stand guard at the peak of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains suddenly sent another piece of surprising news: the Demon Pupil Saint, Leng Tong, had arrived at the Pillar of Heavens Mountains in a depressed manner, announcing his desire to stay there long term and wait for the War for Seizing the Heavens...

Now, the leaders of the three Holy Lands finally got confirmation that apart from Leng Tong, the other Saints that had gone to Tian Xiang had all died! All of them had lost their lives in the hands of Jun Mo Xie’s master...

This was simply a heaven-shaking piece of news!

Upon hearing this piece of news, the leading characters of the three Holy Lands nearly fainted...

Jun Mo Xie’s master had fought one against five, and the result was that... all five Saints had died!

It wasn’t clear what Leng Tong said, but all the crimes had been pushed onto Jun Mo Xie’s ‘master’. Unexpectedly, Leng Tong actually kept this secret for Jun Mo Xie. But it also meant that the utterly disappointed Leng Tong was not willing to return to the Holy Lands anymore. He would rather remain atop the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, waiting for the War for Seizing the Heavens!

Along with the report was a short paragraph from Leng Tong.

It wasn’t long, but each word hammered at their hearts!

After seeing those words, Mo Wu Dao completely gave up on persuading Leng Tong to come back to the Holy Land. After that, he completely destroyed the message, not letting it spread to the public.

But of the Saints that saw them, quite a few began to search their hearts.

Those words were akin to a drum, beating straight against their hearts and the deepest part of their soul...”

“What sin did Tian Fa commit? To deserve such relentless persecution?! Could it be that the War for Seizing the Heavens is the source of all evils?! The safety of the continent; is it just an excuse?! Has the welfare of the common people really crossed our hearts?!”

Of course, Mo Wu Dao did not actually put these words in his heart.

Because all he was thinking right now was vengeance!

Revenge for his younger brother Mo Xiao Yao!

The enmity that caused him to be unwilling to share the same sky as his enemies!

Blizzard Silver City and the 600 perished souls! This was also an enmity that caused them to be irreconcilable! The blood debt of nine Saints; eight perishing and only leaving one, who was so traumatized that he wouldn’t even return to the Holy Lands! This was the greatest loss the three Holy Lands had ever suffered for the past 10,000 years!

But how would this hatred be resolved?

Jun Mo Xie had already slunk into Tian Fa Forest like a slippery little loach!

For a place like Tian Fa Forest, even if a Saint Emperor senior was willing to help out... he would still suffer a disadvantage if he went in alone!

Moreover, while those experts from Saint realm and above were still part of the three Holy Lands in name, they were no longer in control of the three Holy Lands’ Palace Lords...

Mo Wu Dao, Huyan Ao Bo, and the Palace Lord of the Supreme Golden City, Xi Ruo Chen, discussed for a long time over the matter, and all three had their own proposal. Huyan Ao Bo’s proposal was that they should kidnap all the people from the Dongfang Family, Blizzard Silver City, the Sikong Family, and the Duanmu Family and round them up, or directly kill them. That way, they could force Jun Mo Xie to show himself.

But such a crazy idea was immediately shot down by the other two! If they really went ahead and carried it out, the Saint Emperors Palace would be the first ones to go after them. Using the strength of the three Holy Lands that far surpassed the worldly powers to wantonly slaughter and bully the common people was something that was best not done.

Mo Wu Dao had another suggestion, which was exactly what was happening to the large families now. Without using any military strength, they could scheme in the dark, using a soft knife to force their enemies to death. When the four families were forced to their wits end, they would definitely look for Jun Mo Xie!

Furthermore, what they were using was a series of schemes that contained a virtually endless stream of backup plans! As long as these families remained in the world, the three Holy Lands would have an endless arsenal of methods to deal with them!

But as long as Jun Mo Xie came out of Tian Fa Forest, everything could be resolved!

Xi Ruo Chen was of another opinion... but with two people against one, he had no choice but to go along with Mo Wu Dao’s gentler approach even though he still felt very aggrieved and unresigned in his heart. Still, the perpetrator of their misery was Jun Mo Xie and his master. It didn’t have anything to do with those other families!

Thus, the only thing that could bring these three behemoths any comfort was that Venerable Mei is already dead!

There was also the point that although Jun Mo Xie’s master was able to fight against five Saints and kill all of them, it must have been extremely tough for him as well!

It was entirely possible that there were people who could fight and win against five Saints in this world. However, it was impossible for them to do so without paying a price!

If Jun Mo Xie’s master was really able to fight and kill five Saints with ease, without suffering any injuries... would the Jun Family still need to run away? This was the most obvious point!

Therefore, all three factions were waiting patiently!

For Jun Mo Xie to show himself willingly...

The Saint Emperors Palace had already promised that the moment Jun Mo Xie left Tian Fa Forest and reappeared in the world, the three Holy Lands would be allowed to mobilize their Saint level experts to kill him! If Jun Mo Xie’s master came out as well... they would be been given the clear to send out Saint King level experts!

This face had to be redeemed no matter the cost! Otherwise, the three Holy Lands’ reputation would be completely tarnished!
