“But that is not an excuse to be shameless and despicable!” Qiao Ying berated with her face flushed with anger. “If you couldn’t afford to take the loss, you shouldn’t exaggerate and promise so generously just now! When you were belittling others and making ridiculous bets while watching the misfortune of others, why didn’t I see you stop at all? Do you only know to fear now?”
“Fear? Qiao Ying, don’t you know that this matter is no longer about the fears of a single person? This matter concerns the future of the entire Heaven Saint Palace! And no matter what, this matter had begun with this Jun Mo Xie brat scheming behind the scenes! He already had a plan long ago, giving us all kinds of false impressions to lure us to make the wrong judgements.” Teng Chong Jie raised his voice. “This old man naturally needs to demand an explanation for being toyed with like that. Even if we have to break our promise, it’s only fair!”
Snorting heavily, he continued. “Besides... this matter has now become a personal grievance between Jun Mo Xie and I! It has nothing to do with the Heaven Saint Palace! Qiao Ying, if you still think of yourself as part of the Heaven Saint Palace, please stop speaking. In order to resolve this personal grievance, even if I have to lower my status and be looked at as a person who bullies the young, I still don’t care!
Qiao Ying was so angered that her eyes were open completely wide, and she practically couldn’t say a single word.
“HAHAHA...” Jun Mo Xie suddenly laughed aloud. “Personal grievance... you really make it sound good ah! I finally see where the shamelessness of the three Holy Lands comes from. So this is how it is! Indeed, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower ones will go aslant as well! So what if it’s an expert above the Saint Emperor realm! Teng Chong Jie... you were certainly born with a good mouth ah... I, Jun Mo Xie, could be said to have truly opened my eyes today!”
“It doesn’t matter what you say! Today, if you don’t leave the treasures behind and give us an explanation, you can forget about leaving Mount Heaven Saint!” Not just Teng Chong Jie, the others also stepped forward, their auras locked rigidly onto Jun Mo Xie!
From the looks of it, the situation had turned extremely volatile!
“Who dares to attack!” Qiao Ying’s body flashed and she appeared before Jun Mo Xie, blocking in front of him. Her face was completely flushed red with anger, and her heart was filled with fear, rage, and some embarrassment!
While she felt quite a bit of heartache for all the spirit plants, she was even more enraged by the shamelessness of her people...
To think that these hermit experts of Mount Heaven Saint, all peak experts of the world, would be capable of such actions. It was one thing to renege on their own promise and fail to keep faith with their words. But to actually use their strength to bully the weak... Although Jun Mo Xie was standing on the side of reason, he had indeed been too greedy to take so many things. But... since they’ve agreed, they should not regret it!
If a person’s words could not even be trusted, how could others depend on them to hold the skies up?!
“Haha...” Jun Mo Xie laughed lightly and gently pushed Qiao Ying to the side as he shook his head. “It’s best if you did not interfere in this matter! After all, you’re ultimately a person of the Heaven Saint Palace!”
Looking at the 40, 50 people in front, he scoffed lightly. “At this point, there seems to be no more leeway for talking. Everyone’s actions... have caused me to be utterly disappointed! I, Jun Mo Xie, had never known that a person’s face... could be so worthless! I at first thought that the legendary Heaven Saint Palace would at least be somewhat different. Although you all wouldn’t agree to me taking the spirit plants away, it wouldn’t reach such a point... but quite clearly, I thought too fancily; all of you are tarred from the same brush!”
Young Master Jun paused for a moment and said with some disdain, “Although I haven’t collected everything that I’ve tagged, you guys can keep the rest... As for the bets you made earlier... based on the thickness of your face, I will not hold any hopes of you fulfilling them; keke, in that case, this Young Master will be going now... Everyone, the blue mountains never grow old and the green waters flow on forever. We will meet again someday in the pugilistic world.”
“You actually still want to leave?!” Teng Chong Jie had just finished this word when his eyes widened with disbelief. Jun Mo Xie’s face was still carrying that disdain and look of ridicule as it slowly faded out of sight, completely disappearing.
“Where did he go? Where is he?!” Everyone sent their spiritual sense out to search. With the strength of these powerful experts, there probably wasn’t anyone in this world who could easily slip away from their senses. Even the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master was not an exception. However, their search actually yielded no results, causing them all to be incredibly shocked.
“Qiao Ying, use your All Seeing Eye and help us look; where is that kid hiding?! If we let him escape like this... the reputation of our Heaven Saint Palace will be greatly wounded...” Teng Chong Jie gritted his teeth and cried out.
“Our Heaven Saint Palace’s reputation will be gone? Hasn’t our Heaven Saint Palace lost all our face long ago?! Is it still lacking this much?” Qiao Ying harrumphed lightly, her face as cold as frost as she turned and left. Her heart was filled with extreme disappointment. Was this... the Heaven Saint Palace that she’d stayed with for over a thousand years? Was it still the Holy Lands that lived to protect the Xuan Xuan Continent? Why does it... feel so unfamiliar?
Although Qiao Ying had left by herself, the crowd was still searching madly. Each of them was an old expert with a wealth of experience. They immediately spreaded out in all directions and combed downwards, securing all the critical points. Some even went all the way down the mountain and blocked the exit.
As long as Jun Mo Xie was still on the mountain, even if his movement techniques were more mysterious, it would still be difficult for him to escape!
Looking at Qiao Ying’s departing backview, Teng Chong Jie spat with rage, “What’s she being cocky about? If the Heaven Saint Palace is destroyed, does she think she will have a good ending?”
Qiao Ying, who was far away, now heard his words. However, she did not react at all, save for her face turning even colder as she continued silently towards her own room.
At this time, the entire Mount Heaven Saint was completely stirred up...
When Wu Shan Yun came out of his seclusion, he very nearly fainted.
But after he heard about the events of the entire matter, surprisingly, he grew much calmer, only saying a single sentence. “If he took it away then, so be it... the more he took... the better.”
After that, he no longer said anything about the matter. It was as if he didn’t feel any heartache about the things that Jun Mo Xie had taken away. In fact, he even seemed... somewhat relieved.
He finally took them away...
This kind of strange reaction was completely baffling to the crowd. Nobody would have thought that this boss who’d always viewed those spirit plants so preciously would actually be so calm after encountering this matter.
Could he have gone crazy with anger?
The same went for those old seniors who had just come out of seclusion as well. When they just came out, their faces were also filled with fury. However, all of them turned calm later as well...
That was truly strange!
Jun Mo Xie did not depart immediately after descending Mount Heaven Saint. He checked out the neighboring mountains and even went to investigate the bases of the three Holy Lands in detail.
Finally, he turned around and went towards the Pillar of Heavens Mountain.
With the War for Seizing the Heavens being situated here, he couldn’t not take a look.
When he got closer, he realized the true grandeur of this huge mountain. Even the rocks here were different from the other mountains’. They had a unique luster to them, looking like a mixture of rock and jade. They were also exceedingly hard.
Jun Mo Xie grabbed a fist sized rock and tested it in his hand. In that moment, he could not help but feel slightly shocked. The sturdiness of even a rock on this Pillar of Heavens Mountains was much harder than a normal rock! With his current strength, he still needed to use 50 percent of his strength to crush it!
Furthermore, this was just a small piece that he’d found on the outer layers. It was a piece of rock that’d been eroded by countless years of wind and weather! In that case, just how hard were rocks at the core of this mountain...
Looking up, he only saw an endless expanse of clouds, and it was impossible to see the peak of the mountain! Furthermore, that single look was enough for him to clearly feel a crushing pressure surging downwards, giving one a feeling of anxiousness...
A feeling like this was truly somewhat strange for Jun Mo Xie.
This was just a mountain after all; could it be that it even had an aura like a martial expert? Jun Mo Xie steeled his heart and ascended with shocking speed up the side of the mountain.
The further up he climbed, the heavier the pressure became. When he’d reached the six, seven thousand mark, he already could feel somewhat exhausted. It was as if a divine being were using its power to prevent mortals from ascending to the peak where gods existed.
Jun Mo Xie roused his cultivation, ascending another 5,000 meters. When he looked up again, he still couldn’t see the top of the mountain... At this point, he was at least 10,000 meters away from ground level...
Jun Mo Xie could not help but to laugh bitterly. “Even Mount Everest on Earth is roughly only about 8,000 something meters tall. But I’ve already climbed for over 10,000 meters, yet I’m only halfway up... how disgustingly tall...”
But at this time, Jun Mo Xie also finally understood why he had been able to see this Pillar of Heavens Mountain back then from several thousand li away. From the looks of it, the rocks on this mountain were not just sturdy; they could also reflect light, having an amplifying effect as well. With billions of these rocks stacked together... such a unique scene appeared...
When he attempted to dive into the mountain, Jun Mo Xie discovered that his Yin Yang Escape Art seemed to have lost its magical abilities on this Pillar of Heavens Mountains...
The entire mountain seemed to be some kind of giant, restrictive treasure. Such a discovery caused Jun Mo Xie to feel incredibly shocked!
Who was it that had such heaven defying ability?!
Moreover, this mountain... was simply too huge!
Originally, Young Master Jun had still intended to continue upwards. However, he discovered that he couldn’t go any higher. Sighing lightly, he shook his head. No wonder nobody could flip over to the other side by scaling this Pillar of Heavens Mountains... Human strength was limited. Right now, he could only go this far. But in the future, he would definitely unravel this mystery...
Turning around, Jun Mo Xie set out toward the North... He’d left Tian Xiang City for a long time now, and it seemed like it was time to go back and take a look... Right now, he no longer had that many inhibitions, so he didn’t have to worry about anything...
En, there’s still the Seven Colored Holy Fruit. Misty Illusory Manor... that was a place that he definitely needed to go to. At this point, he could only take one step at a time. When he got more news about Cao Guo Feng and the rest, he would make further preparations at that time...
Jun Mo Xie considered for a moment and set off towards the North with wide steps.
