Chapter 879: Extermination!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

All the people from Holy Lands were yelling threats, that they absolutely had to make those scums from the Misty Illusory Manor pay the price. They’d rather die than swallow this insult! Compared to this conflict that came out of nowhere, news of the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master that Zhan Mu Bai had released was not attracting as much attention. Everyone’s focus was on the conflict between the Misty Illusory Manor and the Holy Lands!

And there were some Saints who were of the more agitated type, wanting to look for those seven people from the Misty Illusory Manor for trouble immediately, feeling indignant at this injustice! So what if you’re the Misty Illusory Manor? How can you bully others like this!!

Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu may not have been in a disadvantageous position during the battle earlier, but they were still feeling a little gloomy. After all, the weapons that had accompanied them for half of their lives were gone like this. And Zhan Mu Bai, on the other hand, was completely fueled with rage. These three Saint Emperors immediately gathered their men and prepared to set off!

Since the higher levels of the Holy Lands have already been informed of this matter, what happened in the future will be decided by them! But right now, the Misty Illusory Manor is blatantly stepping over us, even using tricks to take out weapons away. This is literally the same as taking a dump on our heads! Does this old man really care so much about his life?!

So the army set off for battle!

But two mysterious people suddenly appeared and forcefully stopped this operation, since it was a matter of life and death. Otherwise, Chrysanthemum City would really be defeated chrysanthemums on the ground… This bunch of people was completely capable of bursting all the chrysanthemums of Chrysanthemum City! And send this Chrysanthemum City flying into the sky in one piece…

And when those two mysterious people went to look for an explanation from the Misty Illusory Manor, they realized that the Misty Illusory Manor’s Cao Guo Feng and gang had already vanished silently… They had retreated out of Chrysanthemum City immediately!

Even before getting the news that the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master was in Chrysanthemum City!

They even abandoned the main duty they had on this trip!

Following their departure, there was no way that this misunderstanding between the Holy Lands and the Misty Illusory Manor could be resolved anytime soon… And it was very likely to lead to some not-so-good unforeseen circumstances…

And the only person who knew of the truth of the matter, Qiao Ying, was battling Jun Mo Xie in the wilderness! By the time she returned, it would already be too late… And, if Jun Mo Xie did not return with her, even if she was willing to explain everything, not many people would believe it…

Chrysanthemum City temporarily became the three Holy Lands’ territory!

This alliance of two great forces that had lasted for ten thousand years had thoroughly crumbled from the looks of it!

And one more thing that ticked off the three Holy Lands was the Chen Family’s attitude… It was more and more obviously indifferent…

Chen Qing Tian’s second son died tragically, and he was horribly berated by Zhan Mu Bai. Under Chen Chen’s influence, he began to see that the three Holy Lands only treated his family clan as a supply station, or rather, a cash cow… and an extremely lowly one!

As someone who always found pride in serving the Holy Lands, this left Chen Qing Tian’s heart cold and disappointed. And there was another incident that caused Chen Qing Tian to feel anguished: not a single person from the three Holy Lands turned up for his son’s funeral!

Who could endure such a thing…?

How did my son die? Isn’t it all because of you guys?! He died such a horrible death, left without a complete body! Now that he is dead, none of you even turned up to the funeral, and none of you offered your condolences!

Even if you sent a Spirit Xuan… It would have sufficed as giving face.

If this matter had happened in the past, Chen Qing Tian would be understanding about it. The people who came from the three Holy Lands this time, even the weakest ones were Saint-leveled experts! What sort of existence were they! What could my son be even counted as….? They wouldn’t even be bothered!

If a Saint was needed for the funeral of the death of a mere youth, then it would really be an exaggeration! Even if the three Holy Lands had really sent someone, the Chen Family would even be fearful of receiving such grand treatment and find it hard to relax!

But the same thing, when placed in this current situation… The meaning was extremely different!

Not only did no one come to the funeral, not a single person offered this pitiful father a single condolence for having to send his son off!

Chen Qing Tian was thoroughly disheartened! Even feeling a little at a loss, as if there was nothing else to live for anymore. He felt like the sacrifices he had made all these years were simply a gigantic joke, a joke that was not funny at all!

When the head of the family was in this sort of mood, how good could the rest of the Chen Family’s attitude get? Naturally, they’d move along with an indifferent attitude…

Hence, as the Chen Family was busy with the funeral, naturally, they had not properly hosted the experts from the three Holy Lands… And it had also made their mood worse, but they could do nothing about it. They could only wait for the assassins from the Dongfang Family to come quickly and resolve this matter so everyone could go back.

This world is becoming more foreign… it has really changed.

This night, Chen Qing Tian and his eldest son, Chen Chen, were meeting secretly in the study room…

A family head of his own generation, having to secretly arrange for a conversation with his own son… Chen Qing Tian was really a little pitiful as a family head…

“Chen’er, the Chen Family is done for already.” Chen Qing Tian’s first sentence had left Chen Chen astonished! He raised his head and saw his father’s heavy look.

“So, you must leave this place! Chen’er, you are the only hope of the Chen Family… Hurry up and leave this whirlpool! As long as you are still around, the Chen Family will still have hope in making a comeback again!” Chen Qing Tian said dishearteningly, a heavy look in his eyes.

“Father, although the Chen Family is in a difficult position now, and there is a difference between us and the rest of the super families, but… we shouldn’t have gotten to a stage of being annihilated?” Chen Chen failed to understand.

“It is already over! From the moment our ancestor Chen Chong died, the Chen Family announced it’s death! For many years, we’ve been safe under the protection of our ancestor. But ultimately, we are still a lot weaker than the Zhan Family in the city next door. We are only subordinates of the Holy Lands. We may seem powerful, but we are worthless the moment the Holy Lands give up on us!

“And now that our ancestor has passed, the Chen Family has become a bait to lure the Dongfang Family. Chen’er, a bait… Haha, you should know what it means… Regardless of if the fish takes the bait or not, the bait is just for display. If the fish takes the bait, then the bait will be the first to be swallowed…

“I had always hoped that this was an opportunity the three Holy Lands had given us, even if it meant sacrificing me as the bait, but the Chen Family would be regarded by the Holy Lands… But only now did I realize I was wrong! The Holy Lands will never put a mere family like us in their eyes! Even if all of us sacrificed ourselves, even if a hundred of such families did, as long as it achieves their goal, that’s all they care about. As to these families… they are destined to be sacrificed!”

Chen Qing Tian’s face was grey as he said softly. Chen Qing Tian looked at his father, stunned, a surge of emotions rising in his heart!

“But if I leave… wouldn’t that make the Holy Lands suspect you even more?” Chen Chen frowned and asked worriedly.

“Suspect me… So what?” Chen Qing Tian chuckled and said despondently. “From the beginning, I was a dead man! If you stay behind, I am still a dead man, and you will also be throwing your life! If you don’t stay, I will still be dead. Is there any difference?”

Chen Qing Tian stood up and turned around. “Go, bring along the woman you love! Tell her, from now on, she is the daughter-in-law of Chen Qing Tian! The mistress of the Chen Family!”

With his back still turned, he took out a box and tossed it over. Chen Chen caught it. “This is the token of faith of the Chen Family! There is your mother’s jade hairpin inside; it is a gift for the daughter-in-law… My disapproval of you two caused that child to suffer… Tell her not to hate me…”

He waved his hand. “Go and live in secrecy. From now on, if you could rebuild the Chen Family, unless there is a Saint Emperor level expert in the family, don’t step foot into the pugilistic world forever!”

“Father! I…”

“If you don’t go, then I’ll kill you personally, then kill myself!” Chen Qing Tian looked up at the sky, his backview trembling, but his voice firm and resolute!

Tears poured from Chen Chen’s eyes, knowing that his father had made up his mind and wouldn’t change it. He choked on his tears, knelt to the floor and slowly kowtowed to his father, before leaving while remaining in a bowed position.

Chen Qing Tian stood silently. When Chen Chen was at the door, he slowly said, “Rather be a family of farmers, than be a subservient family!”

Chen Chen’s body jerked as he nodded heavily. He forced himself to restrain the sounds of his crying that were about to come out, quickly leaving and disappearing in the night.

Chen Qing Tian stood as straight as a spear, a heartened smile slowly appearing on his face. As long as Chen Chen was able to walk out and leave this whirlpool, then no matter how he survived in the future, the Chen Family would ultimately have a descendant that remained!

He silently sat in the study room, still and motionless.

At dawn, the housekeeper knocked on the door gently and entered. “Master, the ancestral hall has been broken into. The ancestral tablets have all disappeared…”

Chen Qing Tian jolted, tears threatening to spill from his eyes. He waved his hand dismissively. “Alright, you can go.”

The housekeeper looked at him and left, feeling full of confusion. Why is the Master so odd today? How big of a matter it is, for the ancestral tablets to be stolen, but he seemed completely unmoved by it. He shook his head, unable to figure it out, and left.

In the study room, Chen Qing Tian slowly exhaled and mumbled, “I can finally rest assured…”

The second morning, the people from the Holy Lands learned that the first Young Master of the Chen Family, Chen Chen, had suddenly gone missing…

After Zhan Mu Bai knew of this matter, he instantly sent people to call for Chen Qing Tian. And he personally met Chen Qing Tian, giving him a lot of face!

Zhan Mu Bai was a Saint Emperor, to lower himself to speak to him personally, Chen Qing Tian should feel excited and grateful to receive such treatment!

So Zhan Mu Bai got straight to the point and asked, “Where did that first son of yours go?”

“This bastard!” Chen Qing Tian sighed. “He had fallen in love with a maid in our family earlier and wanted to marry her as his wife. How could I agree? So he has been being difficult with me during this period of time. But I had never imagined that this bastard would elope with the maid at a time like this… It really is a disgrace to the family, I will absolutely catch him back and punish him!”

“Eloped?” Zhan Mu Bai scoffed. “Chen Qing Tian, do the ancestral tablets need to be brought along in an elopement from the Chen Family? You couldn’t elope earlier, or later, but just had to do it at a time like this? Chen Qing Tian, do you think that this seat is very easily to fool?”

As Zhan Mu Bai’s tone got harsher, an imposing aura suddenly came down. His voice had turned icy cold. “Chen Qing Tian, you better give me an honest explanation! Perhaps I can still let you keep your life! Otherwise, it is not difficult for me to turn the whole Chen Family into ashes! Speak! What schemes do you have? What are you trying to achieve? What sort of devious intentions do you have on the Holy Lands? I’m telling you that you are courting death!”

Saint Emperor Zhan’s tone was full of killing intent, with no concealment at all! He had been meeting with unfortunate situations during this period of time, be it with the Misty Illusory Manor or the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, these were all slaps landing on his face, one after another. But he had nowhere to vent this anger! And this caused his emotions to be a little out of control.

And… when he was beaten up and trashed, this goddamn Chen Qing Tian was just there, watching a Saint Emperor get humiliated! This was the greatest reason why Zhan Mu Bai felt displeased everytime he saw Chen Qing Tian!

So every time he spoke with Chen Qing Tian, his tone was hoping that this bastard would just die soon!

It is the greatest sin to see me being embarrassed!

So Zhan Mu Bai had long developed a desire to kill, but Chen Qing Tian had always been respectful with the Holy Lands, and after all, he was his own disciple’s descendant. If there was no suitable reason, Zhan Mu Bai would find it embarrassing to do it.

But the Chen Family’s gradual indifference in their attitude to the Holy Lands had given Zhan Mu Bai the most suitable reason! Following Chen Chen’s running away, Zhan Mu Bai used this opportunity. No matter what, I must kill all the people of Chen Family who witnessed that matter!

Chen Qing Tian couldn’t help but feel shocked hearing these few threatening sentences. After which, a surge of anger rose!

Chen Chen’s departure was entirely out of Chen Qing Tian’s arrangements. This was a fact. But Chen Qing Tian had never thought of what he wanted to do to the three Holy Lands! First, he didn’t dare. Second, he did not feel the need to go to that extent of enmity! Chen Chen leaving home was just a precautionary decision.

But he had never imagined that Zhan Mu Bai was going to pin such a heavy crime on his head without even asking!

“Ancestor, what do you mean by this? The Chen Family has always been loyal, and our ancestor is your disciple! How could we have any intentions of rebellion? This is a huge wrong accusation!” Chen Qing Tian argued loudly.

“Whether wronged or not, you know it yourself!” The killing intent on Zhan Mu Bai’s sinister face got heavier and heavier…

The last thing Chen Qing Tian knew was that a palm suddenly became bigger and bigger in his face… then he didn’t know anything afterwards…

———————————

When Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu heard the news, the entire Chen Family had been exterminated! Completely and thoroughly!

The other two Saint Emperors were a little embarrassed to remark on Zhan Mu Bai’s ruthlessness. They only sighed. “Since they’re killed… then they’re killed already.” There were no other reactions.

After all, it was just a mere worldly family. Even if they were annihilated, it was no big deal. A subservient family like this, the three Holy Lands had so many that they could barely count. They can easily nurture countless more in a couple of years! It really was no big deal…

The only one who felt enraged was the guardian, Qiao Ying!

Qiao Ying learnt of his matter the moment she returned! And she went looking for Zhan Mu Bai, full of anger.

“Why did you kill them?” Qiao Ying was so infuriated her face was pale.

“Senior Qiao, please appease your anger. This matter is due to my carelessness. Since we arrived in Chrysanthemum City, there has been a series of weird happenings, and the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master’s sudden appearance put me on my guard.”

“After my investigation, I found out that for unknown reasons, this Chen Manor was the hiding place of the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master! There is a basement in Chen Qing Tian’s study room. It is full of the cold aura of the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master, and there are marks made by Nine Nether Frost Blades!”

He paused for a while before continuing. “Then I found out that in the food today, the Chen Family added large amounts of ‘Immortals Fall’! This is the number one poison to cause one to lose all their skills! It is ultimately vicious! Even a Saint Emperor will be unable to use any Xuan Qi after consuming it! They clearly were thinking of getting rid of us all at one go! Such a vicious way of doing things is truly unacceptable! If they are not killed, how could everyone be appeased?!”

Zhan Mu Bai’s expression changed from anger to an apologetic one. “Just that in a moment of fury, I had taken actions, completely forgetting about seeking Senior Qiao’s opinion. I seek your forgiveness. Sigh… They were the descendants of my disciple, after all… Now that something like that happened, I am at fault for not being stricter…”

The Chen Family was already all dead, so how could it be proved that Zhan Mu Bai was babbling nonsense? What he said was the truth now, because no one could refute him…

Qiao Ying did not understand the truth. Although she thought Zhan Mu Bai made sense, but she still felt that it was too much. “If that’s the case, you can stop at killing Chen Qing Tian! Why did you kill so many innocent people as well?! Is it the way the Holy Lands work, harming the innocent, blatantly massacring?!”

Zhan Mu Bai admitted to his mistake and looked guilty…

“Zhan Mu Bai, you better not be lying to me about this matter today! Otherwise, even if you are a Saint Emperor, I will uphold justice for Chen Family! Now that things are like this, make proper arrangements for their funerals.” Qiao Ying turned around and left angrily.

Zhan Mu Bai looked at her back view, a glint of fury flashing across his eye, which was quickly concealed.

Qiao Ying’s position was not one he could touch! The Holy Lands would have no hesitation in sacrificing ten Zhan Mu Bais in exchange for Qiao Ying! So Zhan Mu Bai could not do anything about Qiao Ying. And furthermore, her strength surpassed his greatly…

……..

When the Chen Family had undergone extermination, Jun Mo Xie was dripping in cold sweat in the Hongjun Pagoda.

After the battle with Qiao Ying, he ducked into the Hongjun Pagoda. Seeing that he came in in such a pathetic looking form, Mei Xue Yan couldn’t help but ask, “What happened?”

“I met a crazy woman today!” Young Master Jun panted. “A young lady, probably twenty years of age. She actually claimed that she had lived for a thousand years… Hahaha… Did she think that she was also an old demoness?”

Young Master Jun did not realize that Mei Xue Yan’s face instantly darkened as she said coldly. “A young lady who was twenty years old? Old demoness?”

“Yeah… But it might be true, this girl’s Xuan skills was really terrifying…” Young Master Jun did not know that his death was near, still recalling the battle earlier. If not for the fact that he had one last move, he probably would have died this time. Even the Yin Yang Escape couldn’t help him escape!

“Are you mocking me?” Jun Mo Xie only felt a pain in his ear, which was grabbed by Mei Xue Yan and twisted ruthlessly.

A dangerous glint was in Mei Xue Yan’s eyes as she said emotionlessly. “Also an old demoness? You’ve met many old demonesses who looked youthful, haven’t you? Young Master Jun, the ‘also’ you mentioned… what do you mean?”

Jun Mo Xie jolted, belatedly realizing that he had offended one of Mei Xue Yan’s taboos. He quickly laughed cordially and said, “No, no, what I meant to say is that… She was lying. How can there be such a youthful old demoness in the world? Um… Actually I’m saying that… I… Um… I…” No matter how much Jun Mo Xie tried to explain himself, Mei Xue Yan got angrier and angrier…

“I really wasn’t talking about you…” Jun Mo Xie said, feeling the urge to cry. “There’s none of that meaning…”

“So you finally admitted that deep down inside your heart, I am also an old demoness!” Mei Xue Yan yelled, twisting with even greater strength. Young Master Jun only felt as if his ear was about to fall off. He shouted, “I do not… No no no… How could my Xue Yan be compared to someone else? Xue Yan is so beautiful and youthful and pretty… like the bright, flawless moon in the highest of heavens, like the spring winds that turned into rain, like…”

Praise and compliments poured out of Jun Mo Xie’s mouth ceaselessly…

But the more he said, the more painful it was for his ears. Mei Xue Yan was clearly angry this time, and he was so anxious that his forehead was sweating profusely… No matter how powerful the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune was, it was not to the extent where it allowed the ears to grow even longer…

Or maybe there would be such skills when he attained higher levels in his cultivation of the art, but he was still far from it right now…

After exhausting all his saliva to explain himself, Mei Xue Yan finally let go of his abused ear. She was not completely appeased yet, sitting down aside crossly.

Jun Mo Xie rubbed his nose and sat down beside her in a thick-skinned manner. Taking two sniffs of the air, he said, “Xue Yan’s body is really fragrant. Just smelling this scent can ease my troubled heart hehehe…” He said with a salivating expression.

“Cut the bulls*it. Hurry up and talk about what you encountered!” Mei Xue Yan said stiffly.

“Yes! This husband shall follow your orders!” Jun Mo Xie replied quickly.

“Irritating! Whose husband are you!” Mei Xue Yan protested coquettishly, her face turning red.

Jun Mo Xie finally heaved a sigh of relief internally. The storm is finally going to be over, oh my god…

Young Master Jun felt like what he said earlier was not insinuating anything, but how did it suddenly turn into offending her? Looks like this woman really has no reason for throwing a temper…

After calming down, he began to tell of his encounter, not missing a single bit of it. When he was talking about Qiao Ying, Jun Mo Xie had even chuckled, feeling that that girl was really too naive…

“You said that the girl is called Qiao Ying?” Mei Xue Yan suddenly stopped him and widened her eyes.
