I don't dare to turn on my computer again. There's a huge rainstorm, and the lightning is as dense as the hairs on my legs, one after another. I don't want to transmigrate … >
"Exactly. Youngsters with such cultivation bases coming to the Heavenly South Region to assist in the battle at this critical juncture are basically throwing their lives away. In the face of so many high-level Xuan Beasts, a mere Yu Xuan and an Earth Xuan wouldn't have much of a chance of survival. If this wasn't courting death, then what was? To put it bluntly, they are the 'cannon fodder' that you mentioned just now! "Dongfang Wenjian smiled mercilessly.
"Mo Xie, don't ever think that your movement technique is exquisite. But if I were to throw you into the Profound Beast Tide and surround you from all sides, then no matter how exquisite your movement technique is, it would be difficult for you to escape death! So, don't act recklessly and don't leave our line of sight! "
"But this young man is only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, right? He was obviously at the peak of Yu Xuan's cultivation level, and was probably only one step away from the Earth Xuan realm. With his age and cultivation level, he was a rare genius! Which family wouldn't treasure such a talent? Why was the Baili Clan willing to send such a young man to his death? Isn't that a pity? "Jun Moxie was puzzled.
"This reason is not worth mentioning at all. It's actually very simple. It's because this person is not a direct descendant of the Baili Clan. He's the son of a concubine! "Dongfang Wen Qing revealed a regretful smile.
"This man's name is Baili Luo Yun. He is a rare genius of the Baili Family. Usually, when a baby is born, the person with the highest cultivation in the family will comb through the meridians of the baby. This is to reduce the number of illnesses and also to lay the foundation for the cultivation of Xuan Qi. "
"When this Baili Luo Yun was born, there was no one to sort out his meridians, but he still started cultivating Xuan Qi at the age of three. At the age of ten, he successfully broke through the limit of the Ninth Grade Xuan Qi. At the age of fifteen, he broke through the peak of the Silver Grade and reached the Gold Grade. At the age of twenty-two, he broke through the Gold Grade again and became a Yu Xuan warrior. Looking at his current cultivation, he is indeed at the peak of the Yu Xuan realm! Among the younger generation, he was already recognized as the number one genius! Very few people could compare to him in terms of aptitude. Of course, you're not included in this limit. You're only at the Yu Xuan Realm, yet you're able to fight with a powerhouse like Shen Xuan and even win one move. You're a real demon! "
"Such an outstanding talent, even if he isn't a legitimate son, he shouldn't be treated like this, right? Even though he wasn't a legitimate son, he still had the bloodline of the Baili Family. Even though he couldn't be the successor of the Baili Family, he was still a rare expert of the younger generation of the Baili Family. Based on his age and his current progress, it wasn't hard to imagine that within ten years, he would certainly be able to reach the level of Tian Xuan. He might even be able to reach the level of Shen Xuan within thirty years! Could it be that such a character had to give up on such a rare genius just because he wasn't a legitimate son? Aren't the Baili Family's actions a little too unwise? " Jun Moxie was flabbergasted as he heard this. This matter was simply incomprehensible to him. In fact, it was hard for him to even imagine it.
One must know that such an outstanding, young, and limitless cultivation genius was a rarity even in the Silver Blizzard City or the Xue Hun Manor. In fact, it was hard to find even a handful of such geniuses in the entire Xuan Xuan Continent. It was believed that any family that possessed such a genius would treat him like a precious jewel and treasure him. Not to mention anything else, but one could imagine how much the three Dong Fang Masters cherished Jun Dashao.
"That's not the only reason. The main reason was because of his father. His father was the eldest son of his grandfather, who had raped a maidservant when he was drunk. However, the Baili Family had never acknowledged their status. So, they had been oppressed by the family. His bloodline had become even more estranged. The more talented he was, and the faster his cultivation progress was. But, the more miserable he had been oppressed. His father and his father had an awkward status in the Baili Family. In fact, they were equivalent to servants in the Baili Family. In fact, they weren't even as favored as maids. Therefore, his desire for vengeance was exceptionally strong. Especially after his Xuan Qi had advanced to the Jade Xuan realm. Then, he did something by chance. "
There was a look of pity on Dongfang Wenqing's face, "In fact, he hadn't taken the initiative to do this. The process was very simple. He had gone to his house to cause trouble for the Baili Family. He had taught a fierce lesson to the Baili Family. Moreover, he had been particularly ruthless. This had aroused the Baili Family's anger. His Xuan Qi cultivation had been much faster and more outstanding than those direct descendants who had relied on external forces to advance. Moreover, their meridians had been sorted out since childhood. However, he had lost his status in the Baili Family.
"The reason why the Baili Family didn't kill him on the spot was because they cared about their kinship. However, now that he's here, it's obvious that some people in the Baili Family don't intend to let him off. This trip to the Southern Heaven Region was undoubtedly a good opportunity to kill him with a borrowed knife! "
"So, that's how it is!" Jun Moxie heaved a long sigh of relief. He murmured, "Baili … Luo Yun …" His eyes flickered. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
"But, we think that the Baili Family is destroying themselves by doing this! It's just as you've judged, Moxie. This kid's natural talent is outstanding, and he's only slightly inferior to you at most. I believe that as long as he has thirty to fifty years of time, I'm afraid another Supreme-Level expert will be born! "
"You must know that the emergence of a Great Master Level powerhouse in an aristocratic family — especially one that belongs to the Jianghu. Then, they'll be able to break away from their original scope in one fell swoop, and become one of the super forces! This is tantamount to a qualitative leap! "
"The Xue Hun Manor and the Silver Blizzard City are examples of this. This kind of opportunity would only appear once every several hundred years or even a dozen generations for any aristocratic family. However, the Baili Family had let go of such an opportunity. I felt that it was a pity. But, I was even more puzzled. I didn't know whether the Baili Family was too short-sighted, or if they were afraid that Baili Luo Yun would take revenge. Or is there another reason behind this? "
Dongfang Wenqing shook her head. She chuckled and said, "However, it's a pity. After all, it doesn't have much to do with us. In fact, it's a good thing for our aristocratic families to eliminate such a potential future expert. So, everyone would be happy to see this happen. After all, the rise of every hero is bound to trample on the corpses of countless enemies. And, the hands of every powerhouse are bound to be stained with blood! But, we're all part of the Nine Great Families. So, even if we're not mortal enemies, we're still potential competitors … "
The people of the aristocratic families had already come down from the high ground. Their leaders were walking towards the meeting hall. Dongfang Wenqing looked at them from afar and said, "I'll accompany your Third Uncle inside. Otherwise, those dregs of the Silver Blizzard City will continue to mock and ridicule us. But, they won't dare to be too presumptuous in my presence." She smiled faintly and walked away. After a while, she pushed Jun Wuyi's wheelchair inside.
Jun Moxie looked at the Third Uncle sitting in the wheelchair, and suddenly thought, [Third Uncle's legs have been healed. But, I don't know when he'll be able to stand up from the wheelchair. When will the Blood General be able to stand proudly in front of the people of the world, and show off his proud demeanor?]
[All of this depends on strength … absolute strength!]
[Strength is equivalent to … talent …]
Jun Moxie suddenly strode towards Baili Luo Yun as this thought crossed his mind.
The people of the Baili Family had already returned by this time. The three of them returned to their tent while chatting and laughing. They didn't even look at Baili Luo Yun who was standing at the entrance. Baili Xiong Feng was the leader of the group. He looked straight ahead, and entered the meeting hall with an indifferent expression on his face.
Baili Luo Yun's indifferent eyes gazed at the hustle and bustle in the sky. He smiled bitterly in his heart. He thought, [I don't know how many days I'll be able to watch such a chaotic scene. Will being torn apart by ten thousand beasts be my only ending?]
Baili Luo Yun's heart was clear as to why his family had sent him out for this matter.
"If Luo Yun doesn't die, the Baili Family won't be able to rest in peace!" This was the evaluation that Master Dashao's father had given him. He was the current Master of the Baili Family. And, he had been living under this huge shadow ever since he had broken through to the ninth grade at the age of ten.
Sometimes, he felt that it was ironic when he thought about it. In other clans, as long as a child had a little bit of talent, he or she would receive the full support of the clan. And, everyone could see his or her talent. So, why was he treated like this in the Baili Family?
[That man was afraid that I would run away. So, he didn't hesitate to use my father's life to threaten me to come to the Southern Heaven City to participate in the war. Why did he do this?] [My father would evade my questions every time I asked him. He wanted to say something, but then hesitated. The most valuable sentence he had ever said was, [Alas, Luo Yun, your desire for revenge is too strong … There are some things that you know now. But, it's not a good thing …]
[Desire for revenge? … I don't want to stir up trouble. Would I have disregarded the consequences if I hadn't been forced to the point where I couldn't bear it?] [Everything that had happened that day was right in front of my eyes. How could a man not resist in the face of such a thing? Could it be that … there's some inside story that I don't know about?]
[I'll get to the bottom of this mystery if I'm lucky enough to survive this time.]
Baili Luo Yun's expression was indifferent. He turned around, and was about to enter the tent.
[It's true that they don't care about me. But, I don't see them as a family either.] [The sooner I die, the better it would be for them. But, isn't it the same for me?]
Suddenly, he saw a youngster walking towards him.
He didn't recognize this youngster, but he knew that his name was Jun Moxie. He had heard that this youngster was a debauchee and a prodigal second generation. He was very similar to some people in his family.
He didn't need to take a second look to know that this Jun Moxie had come to look for him. That was because the direction in which Jun Moxie was walking was very clear. Not to mention, the two eyes on his face were staring at him with a 'strange' expression.
"Baili Luo Yun?" Jun Moxie tilted his head, and looked him up and down.
"Jun Moxie? The Jun Family's Third Young Master? " Baili Luo Yun's face was as indifferent as ever. He looked at this youngster who had suddenly come to look for him. He didn't seem surprised or happy at all. He didn't even try to guess why this youngster had come to look for him.
"Find a place to talk? Come with me, "Jun Moxie invited him. He had asked for his opinion, but his tone had been firm. In fact, he had even added a commanding tone.
He had been a proud and aloof assassin in his previous life. His personality had changed a lot in this life. But, he knew how to deal with such a proud and aloof person.
One should never hope that the opposite party would take the initiative when dealing with such a person. Even if their heart desired it to the extreme, it would still be difficult for them to open their golden mouths. After all, the Hitman Jun himself was such a person.
Only by taking control of everything in one's own hands and grasping the absolute initiative, then the other party would unconsciously act according to one's arrangements. Even if the opposite party was disgusted in their heart, they would still follow your rhythm because they were unwilling to accept it. Jun Moxie wanted to even out his disadvantage, and seek the right to talk on equal terms. At the very least, it would be an opportunity to talk on equal terms.
"I'm not familiar with you, so I don't want to talk!" Baili Luo Yun indifferently turned his head, and was about to enter the tent.
Even he was disgusted by the tent.
"I've heard that you're one of the few Xuan Qi geniuses in the world. Don't tell me you don't dare?" Jun Moxie took a step forward.
Baili Luo Yun's tall and straight figure suddenly stopped.
"I've heard that you're only twenty-six? You're at the peak of Yu Xuan's realm. But, you don't dare to talk to me? Are you afraid that I'll plot against you? "Jun Moxie smiled mischievously.
Baili Luo Yun suddenly turned around. His face was still expressionless, and his eyes were calm as he calmly looked at Jun Moxie.
"So, the rumors were wrong! It's no wonder. Nine out of ten rumors can't be trusted, "Jun Moxie turned around and walked away. He left behind a few words," I shouldn't have come with such courage. "Jun Moxie didn't walk back to his tent. Instead, he walked towards the periphery.
The sound of footsteps could be heard behind him. Baili Luo Yun was quietly following him.
A trace of pride flashed in Jun Moxie's eyes.
If he said, "Can you talk to me?" Why can't we talk?] [Baili Luo Yun would've gone back to his tent and taken a nap if he had asked that question. But, he wouldn't have followed me like this …]
Jun Dashao didn't turn around. Instead, he walked faster and faster. The speed of his agility was shocking. Baili Luo Yun didn't seem to have any intention to speak either. He still followed Jun Dashao at a close distance. He didn't fall behind much. Two youngsters who had reached the same realm of Yu Xuan's were chasing after each other. Everyone's attention was focused on the meeting hall. So, no one had noticed these two outstanding youngsters …
Jun Moxie gradually increased his speed. He was getting faster and faster. In fact, it seemed as if he had left the ground and was flying. The distance between them was getting bigger and bigger …
Baili Luo Yun's indifferent eyes revealed astonishment and shock. [I can't believe that this notorious Lord Dashao is faster than me!] He didn't want to admit defeat. But, he couldn't catch up with him no matter how hard he tried. Moreover, he couldn't shorten the distance even by a little bit. Instead, the distance between them was getting bigger and bigger.
[I've already lost this competition of speed!] Baili Luo Yun didn't want to admit it. But, he clearly knew that this youngster was much faster than him even though he was younger than him.
At least, he was faster than him in terms of speed!
Jun Moxie took the lead and walked up to a small hidden slope more than five kilometers away from the city. He sat down without a care for his image. Then, he patted the grass next to him and said, "Sit down."
Nobody responded. Baili Luo Yun was still standing as straight as a javelin. He was used to being nervous for a long time. So, he wouldn't allow himself to relax even for a moment. That was because all the so-called 'cousins' of the same generation couldn't wait to put him to death.
He had long been used to being nervous like this.
However, there was a trace of admiration in the depths of his eyes.
"What's your purpose?" Baili Luo Yun asked. He was a man of few words. Jun Mo Xie wasn't used to speaking at length. Therefore, he kept everything in his heart. The fact that he was willing to take the initiative to ask this question was already because of Jun Mo Xie's outstanding skills. Jun Mo Xie was younger than him, but his cultivation wasn't inferior to his.
"You've come to throw away your life." Jun Moxie didn't turn his head around. Jun Moxie hadn't turned his head around since they had left the field. It seemed as if he was very sure that Baili Luo Yun would follow him. Moreover, Baili Luo Yun couldn't surpass him.
However, this was what made Baili Luo Yun feel the most uncomfortable.
"What does it have to do with you?" Baili Luo Yun was as indifferent as before.
"Indeed, it has nothing to do with me. After all, your stink won't reach my family's land if you die." Jun Moxie smiled, "But, I'm curious. Why did you come even though you knew that you've come to throw away your life?"
"This has nothing to do with you!" Baili Luo Yun was somewhat angry. [What is this lad talking about? What is he trying to say?]
"Someone is threatening you, right?" Jun Moxie muttered, "Moreover, the person who threatened you is the person you care about the most? Well, that must be the case. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come even though you knew that you were doomed. You don't look like a fool. "
Baili Luo Yun finally became silent.
[His opponent's guess isn't wrong. Moreover, he has accurately grasped my weakness.] [I haven't said anything, but he has seen through me.]
[It's rare to see someone so young.]
"You want to be the Master of the Baili Clan! Is that right? " Jun Moxie held a half-withered stalk of grass in his mouth. He seemed to be talking to Bai Yun, "You're very calm, cold, and cruel. You dare to do what you do. And, you dare to take responsibility for what you've done. You're very vengeful, and your desire for power is enormous. You want to take revenge, but you don't have enough power. You don't have a future in the Baili Clan. But, you yearn for the greatest power in the clan. That's the only way you can take revenge.
"What does this have to do with you? You're talking to me like this. It's ridiculous! "
Baili Luo Yun's words were very impolite. Moreover, his tone was very annoying. However, Jun Moxie knew that he had hit the nail on the head. He had spoken from the depths of this indifferent youth's heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken so much with such an eccentric personality.
"Indeed, this has nothing to do with me. But, you'll never be able to fulfill your wish if you continue to stay in the Baili Clan!" Jun Moxie stood up. Then, he suddenly turned around, and looked straight into Baili Luo Yun's eyes. Then, he spoke word by word, "Follow me, and I can fulfill your wish!"
"You?" Baili Luo Yun sized him up with a Lengleng look, "Why should I? The Jun Family's fortunes aren't necessarily better. The Baili Family is one of the nine great families. So, I know about the Jun Family's affairs. Even now, the Baili Family can't be compared to the Jun Family! "
"You're wrong. The Jun Family's fate has nothing to do with you. You only need to tell me what I can do for you to follow me?" Jun Moxie smiled, "Tell me your conditions. You should know that you don't have the slightest hope in the Baili Family. In fact, you'll die ten times out of ten in this journey. Believe in me, and you'll have the opportunity to escape from death. You'll have no choice but to accept it even if I'm lying to you. Because, I'm afraid that you'll die in this Tian Fa Forest in a few days if you don't grab onto this life-saving straw. And, even your bones will become a meal for the Xuan Beasts! "
Baili Luo Yun calmly looked at him. Jun Moxie smiled back at him. A good while passed. Then, Baili Luo Yun suddenly tilted his head and spoke in a soft voice, "So what if I die? Life and death are nothing to me. Living in this world isn't much fun. Death may be a release for me. At least, it's a good release for me! "
"Release? But, I'm different from you. In fact, I'll choose to die after I've taken my revenge! "Jun Moxie calmly replied.
"Revenge …" Baili Luo Yun's eyes flashed. It seemed as if Jun Moxie had spoken his mind. So, he suddenly turned his back to Jun Moxie, and spoke word by word, "I have two conditions. I'll follow you after Tian Fa ends if you fulfill them!"
"First, defeat me! Defeat me with your own strength! I know that you're very strong. But, I need to confirm that only the number one person of the younger generation is worthy of my following! "
"Second, the Baili Family has sent five people to the Southern Heaven City. Tian Xuan and the other two. Count me in! I want the other four to die! "
"I'll follow you for ten years if you can fulfill these two conditions! I'll still leave if you can't fulfill my wish within ten years! On the other hand, not only will my life be yours if you fulfill them … but the entire Baili Family will also be yours! "
These were Baili Luo Yun's conditions. Jun Moxie watched Baili Luo Yun walk away with a straight back. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. [This lad didn't turn his head even once until his silhouette disappeared from my sight.]
[These conditions … aren't a problem for me!] [This Young Master can deal with you right now!] [As for those small fries of the Baili Family … it won't be difficult for me to send them back home!] [Why can't you give me a challenging condition?]
[Lad, just wait for me to train you!]
Jun Moxie secretly returned to the campsite using his swift agility technique. He saw that the twenty-thousand-strong army had already set up their tents in an orderly manner. The tents were placed against the city walls even though they were in the city. They were guarded by barricades, traps, and archers lying in ambush. The front of the camp was even more heavily guarded. The patrolling soldiers had their own duties. Two groups of soldiers crossed each other at the border of different camps at every moment.
The warning gongs were divided into four groups. Two groups would take turns. One group would be in the light, and the other would be in the dark. They were ready at any time.
The security of the army had reached such an extent. It could be said that such an army would never have to worry about a sneak attack under any circumstances! Moreover, it could ensure that the soldiers who were resting in shifts would get the best sleep!
It was a pity that there was no place for these ordinary soldiers to use their skills in the Xuan Beast Tide! Jun Moxie was even more certain of one thing when he saw the densely packed Xuan Beast Tide. [These twenty-thousand-strong army — along with the commanding officers and the disciples of the aristocratic families — have come to throw away their lives!]
[They are all cannon fodder!]
Jun Moxie sighed softly. He then walked towards his own camp.
He had just walked through the gate when he felt that the atmosphere was unusual.
Guan Qing Han was trying to comfort Dugu Xiaoyi. Dugu Xiaoyi's face was stained with tears. It seemed as if she had been greatly wronged.
"What's wrong?"
"Boohoo … Brother Mo Xie … Little White … Little White is gone …" Dugu Xiaoyi threw herself at him and burst into tears when she saw him return.
"Hey, I thought it was something serious. It's gone if it's gone …" Jun Moxie smiled bitterly in his heart. [Bringing Little White here is akin to releasing a tiger back into the mountains. Besides, the number one Xuan Beast King had issued an order to gather all the Xuan Beasts. So, how could Little White be an exception? It would be strange if Little White was still here!]
"Boohoo … I must find him. He hasn't eaten lunch yet." Dugu Xiaoyi was extremely distressed. [Little White is my precious baby.]
"Alright … we'll look for him when we have time. Maybe he went out to play and will come back soon …" Jun Moxie comforted her in a weak voice.
*****
In the depths of the Tian Fa Forest …
Long Crane and Bear Mountain were standing respectfully behind them. Two other Xuan Beasts were standing behind them. The Xuan Beast Kings were squatting behind them. They were using their tails to sweep the ground from time to time. They were cleaning the area until it was almost spotless.
A strange silhouette was standing in front of them. Even his hair and feet were shrouded in black cloth. It was so black that even his eyes couldn't be seen.
They couldn't even see his silhouette, let alone his face.
"Tell me, what's going on? I've been in closed-door training for less than two years. How did you manage to stir up such a big commotion? You've summoned all the experts of the continent. You've got guts, ah! " The voice belonged to the Xuan Beast King who had spoken to Li Jue Tian before.
"Big Brother … this … this …" Bear Mountain and Long Crane looked at each other in dismay. They stammered, but couldn't say anything.
"Three million Xuan Beasts of level six and above have been driven out of Tian Fa. You've exposed the strength of our Tian Fa in front of everyone!" The black-cloaked man sneered, "That's a big move, ah. Is it worth mobilizing such a large force just to deal with an insignificant Li Jue Tian?"
"Big Brother, it's not all about this …" Long Crane smacked his lips. He was about to say something, but he swallowed it back down.
"What's going on?" The black-cloaked man's robes fluttered, and a boundless oppressive aura spread out, "I want to know the whole story! Fourth Bear, you tell me! "
"I … I … I … I …" Bear Mountain Mountain's entire body trembled as he stuttered.
A silhouette flashed, and Bear Mountain let out a long howl. His majestic body rolled away like a rubber ball. A loud rumbling sound was heard behind him as he rolled away. He had crashed into three large trees, and had broken them in the process.
"Come back!" Bear Mountain shouted. He covered his back, and grimaced in pain as he ran back. Then, he stood there in a well-behaved manner.
"Speak!"
Bear Mountain had a bitter expression on his face. He had started from the time he had received the Xuan Core of a level nine Xuan Beast in Tian Xiang City. Then, he told him about how he and Long Crane had gone to steal it. Then, he told him everything that had happened afterwards.
