Zhan Wu Yun did not expect this little lass to have such a sharp tongue, and every word she said seemed to have a hidden meaning. From her words, it was as if she knew something … He couldn't help but feel a little more fearful.
But his worries were groundless. The reason why Miao Xiao Miao said this was completely because she was forced by their words. It was not because she really knew any secrets of the Zhan Family. But the moment Zhan Wu Yun heard this, he felt that something was amiss and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Stop arguing! We came here on behalf of the Misty Mansion, why are we arguing among ourselves? Zhan Wu Yun, you're already a few hundred years old, and you're arguing with a little lass. Do you have any shame?! " Miao Dao turned around and scolded impatiently. He looked coldly at Zhan Wu Yun, but his protectiveness towards Miao Xiao Miao was clear in his words.
Zhan Wu Yun's face turned red and he kept his mouth shut.
Miao Zhan and Lengleng snorted coldly. He had long found these people from the Zhan Family intolerable. Although he had already made up his mind not to let these people return alive, and naturally wouldn't bother with a few people who were about to die, but he still felt that time was passing a little too slowly to let these trash act so arrogantly in front of him …
Right now, Miao Zhan was thinking in his heart: Should I let these people die in the hands of the Evil Monarch? Or should I just let them die in my hands? Since they're already destined not to return alive, rather than letting outsiders benefit, I might as well let them benefit myself, lest the reputation of the Misty Mansion be tarnished because of their deaths!
Miao Jian heaved a sigh of relief and muttered to himself in confusion. "Why haven't the people from the three Holy Lands arrived yet? Even if the three places are far from each other, it shouldn't be that they haven't arrived yet! "
Miao Dao smiled lightly. "The way the three Holy Lands do things has always been explosive, always striking first to gain the initiative, catching the enemy off guard. They should already be nearby … "
At this point, Miao Dao's expression suddenly darkened. Then, Miao Jian and Miao Zhan's expressions also became solemn. The three of them looked towards the dense forest at the same time.
There was a powerful aura coming from that direction, and it was coming towards him at an extremely fast speed!
Miao Dao shook his head and said gloomily, "It's really uncanny, whoever I say arrives."
Miao Jian shook his head and said in a low voice, "The people of the Holy Lands are evil. Speaking of tortoises, and turtles appear."
Miao Xiao Miao covered her mouth and giggled uncontrollably. Miao Jian's words were really insulting to the extreme …
"Brother Miao, you've actually arrived so early. Ha, looks like your Misty Mansion is quite concerned about the matter of the Evil Monarch this time. We have troubled Brother Miao to wait for so long. It is truly a sin! " A clear voice rang out, as if it didn't carry the slightest bit of the mortal world. Following this voice, six to seven white figures floated out from the dense forest.
"Brother Gu … why, you've actually come personally this time? Looks like the Hermitage has also come prepared." Miao Zhan laughed and quickly walked forward.
From the shadows of the road, a total of seven white figures appeared. Six men and one woman, all dressed in snow-white robes. The six men all had grey beards and tall crowns, and their gazes were sharp. The only woman had a picturesque appearance, her beauty indescribable, as if she was an immortal descending to the mortal world.
"The one in the middle, is he the current Sect Leader of the Hermitage, Mo Wudao?" Miao Zhan looked at the person in the middle of the seven white figures with a strange gaze.
This person's face was like jade, and his white robes and black hair made him look like he was out of this world, extremely carefree. And the most important thing was that his cultivation was the lowest in this group of seven. It seemed like he was only a third level Venerable. In terms of cultivation, among the people present, he was only slightly stronger than Miao Xiao Miao and Zhan Yu Ting. But every movement he made had a natural and unrestrained aura, with a hint of arrogance and nobility!
As for the other six people, among the five men, three of them were Holy Emperor, two were Saint Venerables, and the beautiful woman was also a Saint Venerable. Her strength seemed to be the strongest among the group.
But when Mo Wudao walked among these people, even though the cultivation of these six people was far above his, his aura was still able to stand out. This was enough to show that this person was not ordinary! This was the demeanor that had been cultivated from commanding people for a long time! As for the others, they did not have this …
Mo Wudao's eyes were gentle as he looked at Miao Zhan. He smiled and bowed. "This must be the Misty Mansion's Miao Zhan … Senior Miao. This junior, Mo Wudao, greets Senior."
His words could be said to be extremely calm. But for some reason, when such calm words came out of his mouth, it gave off a very powerful and sincere feeling. Coupled with his expression and gaze, everyone felt that his greeting came from the bottom of his heart, without the slightest bit of hypocrisy!
Miao Zhan stared at him for a while. Mo Wudao returned the smile. Although he did not speak again, his sincere smile and clear eyes made this person seem even more like a modest gentleman, someone worth befriending.
"Mo Wudao … is indeed extraordinary." Miao Zhan sighed slightly. Just based on this demeanor alone, other than Miao Huan Yu, it was rare to see anyone else in Misty Mansion who could be so calm.
No wonder this person was able to manage Hermitage with the strength of a third level Venerable. Just his scheming and shrewdness alone were already rare.
"How can this Wudao be worthy of Senior's praise of being 'extraordinary'? I have been busy all these years and my cultivation has not improved at all. I am truly ashamed. In this Empress's trip, Senior Qiao Ying is the leader. This junior is merely here to make up the numbers! "Mo Wudao pointed at the only woman in Hermitage's group.
That elegant woman was Qiao Ying. Originally, with Qiao Ying's identity and status, there was no need for her to come on this trip. However, Qiao Ying was truly worried about those Exquisite Lotuses that Jun Moxie had moved … To Qiao Ying, those Exquisite Lotuses were like her children. How could she not be worried? She had already taken care of them for several thousand years. This kind of affection was naturally unparalleled.
It must be said that Qiao Ying's strength was extremely high and she was the number one person in Hermitage's group. However, in terms of ability to deal with matters, it was probably the other way around. However, it was also a fact that her identity was extraordinary. Thus, even though Mo Wudao was the Palace Master of Hermitage, he did not treat her with the utmost respect. It was just that no one would take it seriously if he said that she was the leader of this trip.
"Is this Miss Qiao Ying? I've heard a lot about you! " Miao Zhan said. Miao Zhan's words came from the bottom of his heart. There was almost no one in Misty Mansion who did not know of Qiao Ying's name. She was the only special existence outside of Misty Mansion who had eaten the Seven Colored Holy Fruit. At the same time, she was also the person who had eaten the Exquisite Lotuses at the same time, and not just once. Her fortune could be said to be unparalleled in this world.
Not only Miao Zhan, the Saber and Sword Brothers, Miao Xiao Miao, and the dozens of people from the Zhan Family all had their eyes on Qiao Ying. These people had only heard of her name but had never seen her in person. Today, their horizons were truly broadened.
Although Qiao Ying's cultivation was high, her social skills were probably even worse than those ordinary people who did not have any Xuan cultivation. Being stared at by so many people, she was at a loss as to what to do, but she did not know what to say!
However, Mo Wudao sighed and said, "Today, I've seen the elegance of all the seniors here. The reputation of Misty Mansion is not just for show. This makes Wu Dao feel even more ashamed."
As he said that, he shook his head. His face had a faint look of disappointment and hope, as well as a flash of shame. Although it was just a flash, everyone could see it clearly. This also made them believe that this person admitted his shortcomings frankly, and did not exaggerate at all. He was indeed a trustworthy person.
With just this one sentence, he had already saved Qiao Ying from the awkward situation, and he had even praised the people from Misty Mansion. He was really smooth and slick.
"The Sacred Ground controls the world, and controls the secular world. If not for Palace Master Mo, who is in charge of Hermitage, how would those old fellows have the time to cultivate?" Miao Zhan smiled and said, "Although Palace Master Mo's cultivation has been hindered, he is doing it for the benefit of the world. His contributions are for the current generation, and the benefits for the future generations. This old man and the others can't help but feel deep respect for someone like Palace Master! Even if his cultivation is slightly weaker, so what! "
It could be seen that Miao Zhan's impression of Mo Wudao was quite good.
Facing such a person, it was indeed difficult for people to feel bad.
Mo Wu Dao smiled in a carefree manner and said, "How could Wu Dao not understand this logic? It's just that … everyone knows this logic, and Wu Dao is no exception … I can't help but feel a little disappointed in my heart … Wu Dao's childish behavior today … has made Senior laugh at me."
As they spoke, the two sides had already walked together harmoniously. They walked towards the tent that had been set up earlier. As for the three Holy Emperors who came with Hermitage, they quickly set up their own tent next to the tent of Misty Mansion. Although the three of them were experts of the Holy Emperor, they were really nothing compared to Miao Zhan and Qiao Ying.
Everyone exchanged greetings as they entered the tent and sat down. Although Mo Wudao was a junior, his identity was still the current Sect Master of Hermitage. At the same time, he was also the one with the most authority in this group, so he naturally sat at the head of the table. Only when Mo Wudao was seated did Qiao Ying, who was the head in name, take the second seat.
"Haha, I wonder what Seniors of the Misty Illusory Manor think of the Evil Monarch's opening ceremony this time?" Mo Wu Dao smiled lightly, a humble expression on his face as he asked calmly.
The moment he said this, Miao Dao, Miao Jian, Miao Zhan, and Zhan Wu Feng all felt at the same time. With just a few words of greetings, Mo Wudao had already used his unique charm and words to successfully control the topic of conversation. This kid was indeed impressive!
His question was' What is your opinion of the Evil Monarch's opening ceremony '. This question didn't seem like anything much at first glance. It was just a very ordinary question, but it had caused everyone's thoughts to be limited to this circle.
As long as you want to speak, you must first answer this question of his!
And this question might seem like a very ordinary question, but there was a hidden sharpness in it. And the target was precisely the Evil Monarch! Miao Dao and the others all knew that with this sentence of Mo Wudao's, if they couldn't come up with a strong topic to change the current situation, the entire conversation would be dominated by Mo Wudao, and it would tilt towards the Evil Monarch's side!
And this sort of situation, to the people of Misty Mansion who had already made up their minds to watch from the sidelines, was the most unpleasant situation!
