Zhan Xiao Xiao would never have thought even in his wildest dreams that the opponent would take out that sword at this time since he said that he was going to let it recuperate! With his dantian pierced by the sword, even if he wanted to explode his core, he couldn’t! He could only watch blankly while that fiendish sword absorbed away the precious essence Qi that he’d built up over his entire life!
Finally, Zhan Xiao Xiao slowly shut his eyes forever…
How could Jun Mo Xie let his sword miss such a nutritious meal? This was a soul that had been thoroughly ignited ah… there weren’t even the slightest bit of impurities and it was the purest, ownerless thing! Since Zhan Xiao Xiao had chosen this method of commiting suicide, Jun Mo Xie would naturally fulfill him. Although, it was another method of fulfillment…
The previously dim light around the Blood of Yellow Flame strengthened into a strange blood color and then grew brighter once again. The brilliant light flowed around the sword and finally. with a peng 
sound, Zhan Xiao Xiao’s body disintegrated into ashes, scattering into the wind!
A light sword keen rang out from the Blood of Yellow Flame and it flew into the air, spun round, and hovered before Jun Mo Xie with a content buzz.


Although the sword’s body was still damaged, its spirit had already recovered completely and was in fact even more extraordinary than before. Swallowing the spirit energy of two Saint Venerables had granted it a huge amount of strength! When it finished digesting all the energy, the Blood of Yellow Flame’s strength would surely rise to yet another level! As for the damage to the sword’s body, that was a secondary concern. With Young Master Jun’s Power of Gold, as long as he had enough metal, it could be remedied with ease!
Today’s matter had finally come to an end.
Jun Mo Xie sucked in a deep breath of air. How close ah… 
The power of a Saint Venerable was indeed not something that he could go head on against. Even that last strike when his opponent was left with the last bit of strength had already left him with heavy injuries!
If not for him having so many backup plans and a control over the five elements, it would be difficult to say what the results today would be…
For some reason, police officers always arrived at the scene when the crime was already over. From the looks of it, the reinforcements of the Misty Illusory Manor were the same as well!
Numerous figures of people could be seen appearing from the distance as the experts of the Misty Illusory Manor finally arrived…
………
When Miao Jing Yun and all the experts arrived, all that greeted their sights was the huge scene of destruction. The entire area was in a mess, and even the mountains on the two sides had half collapsed. A huge patch of dark cloud hung high up in the sky, slowly dissipating. On the ground, countless patches of charred black spots could be seen, while some areas were wet…
There wasn’t any rain here in recent periods, so what was going on?
The terrifying extent of this battle could be seen with a single glance. The Saint Venerables that saw this scene all could not help but feel a great shock in their hearts… There was no need to witness the fight themselves. Just by looking at the scene, the image of the battle had already formed in their minds…


Zhan Wu Yun looked at the scene of destruction, his eyes darting uneasily…

Everyone, quickly search around the area! See if there are any traces of Mo Jun Ye…
Miao Jing Yun commanded. The group had searched all along the way as they pursued, finally arriving here. If it was just based on a straight line distance, they would have reached here a long time ago. It’s just that when they looked from a large distance away, nothing abnormal could be seen from this area. There weren’t even any commotion or sounds, so the crowd had not thought to search here…
By the time the noises of the battle travelled to them, the battle here had already ended…
Cao Guo Feng and the rest instantly charged through the forest towards them…
A short moment later, excited cries rang out from deep in the woods.
Found him! We found him!
Following that, a Saint Venerable rushed out with a sou 
sound, carrying something in his arms. His smiled with some disbelief.
This little rascal is actually still asleep…

The crowd instantly surged over to look. Wrapped within a thick bundle of blankets, that Free and Natural Physique kid was sleeping in an extremely snug manner…

What a great life, ah!
Miao Jing Yun sighed with a complicated voice.
Countless experts are running thousands of li 
through the night for his sake, while people are fighting and killing each other for his sake. Yet he’s sleeping so soundly while everything is going on… Indeed, different people have different lives…


Manor Lord, this kid isn’t actually asleep… he’s just had his sleeping acupoint poked…
Someone said.

Do I still need you to tell me that? Can I not see it for myself?
Miao Jing Yun shook his head and snapped as he looked at the heavily damaged land.
Let’s hurry back. The two people who fought here have likely left already…

This matter could be said to have a huge impact on the Misty Illusory Manor. But for some reason, the entire thing was being forcefully suppressed by all the higher ups. In just the next day, nobody was mentioning this incident at all. It was as if such a heaven shaking thing had not happened at all…


The only thing was that the security around Jun Mo Xie’s residence had grown much heavier now…
Though everything seemed quiet and calm on the surface, the large families could sense the movement of dark undercurrents beneath the surface… The large families also appeared ordinary on the surface, but the atmosphere inside each family was much heavier as they prepared to make changes at anytime…
In contrast, the Zhan Family seemed completely normal, still maintaining that arrogant and confrontational demeanor. However, their deepest core was already in a state of utter chaos!
The first thing that Zhan Wu Yun did when he came back was to go and report the entire matter in detail to the old ancestor Zhan Lun Hui. Zhan Wu Yun did not know about Zhan Xiao Xiao’s secret mission, and even after he reported to Zhan Lun Hui, the latter had not shown much of a reaction…
But by noon of the second day, when there were still no news of Zhan Xiao Xiao, Zhan Lun Hui truly began to panic. Zhan Xiao Xiao was one of the few top experts of the Zhan Family and a powerful character with great authority! As a Saint Venerable expert, no matter how heavily injured he was, there was still no reason for him to not return after so long!
Even if his physical body had been completely destroyed, his Holy Infant should have returned long ago. It couldn’t be that even his Holy Infant had been destroyed, right?
Zhan Wu Yun immediately called Zhan Wu Yun over and questioned him more thoroughly.

You said… that there were marks of a fire burning through the battlefield?
When he heard the details, that there were marks of fire, Zhan Lun Hui’s face instantly changed as an exceedingly ominous feeling appeared in his heart.
For fire marks to appear in a fight between peak level experts… that meant…

Yes, there were definitely clear burn marks on the battlefield.
Although Zhan Wu Yun didn’t quite understand why the old ancestor would suddenly ask about this, he still answered carefully. When he saw Zhan Lun Hui’s face turn more and more ugly, he could not help but feel anxious as well and quickly swallowed his questions back down his throat.



There’s nothing else. You may go now.
Zhan Lun Hui sighed heavily and fell powerlessly back onto his chair. There was an indescribable fatigue in his eyes as he waved heavily and said.

Yes. This junior will take my leave.
Zhan Wu Yun looked timidly at Zhan Lun Hui’s face and left with confusion on his face.

Wait.
Zhan Lun Hui shut his eyes and said in a light voice,
Tell Yi Xiao and Zhan Tu that I’m going to go into seclusion, and let them come here to guard me. In this time, nobody… is allowed to act rashly! From now on, no matter what huge events happen, do not act anxiously! Everything shall wait until after I come out!


How long will old ancestor be in seclusion for this time?
Zhan Wu Yun asked tentatively.

At most three months, and if I’m fast… one month is enough!
Zhan Lun Hui said with his eyes shut. For some reason, Zhan Wu Yun felt that the old ancestor’s tone was filled with a bleak and desolate feeling, like a setting sun… It was as if something bad had happened…
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three days had already passed.
Today was the celebration of Manor Lord Miao Jing Yun’s 500th birthday!
The entire Miao Family was filled with an atmosphere of joy and celebration.
Jun Mo Xie could be said to have been exceedingly idle in these few days. He would practice some martial arts when he had nothing to do, and naturally, the speed of his progression had caused another round of amazed gasps from the Saint Emperors. From time to time, Miao Xiao Miao would skip over to chat with him. Some old fellows would also drop by occasionally to recommend their granddaughters or great granddaughters…
Overall, his situation could be summed up in a few words—calm and peaceful.


And tomorrow would be the actual date of Miao Jing Yun’s 500th birthday!
The day after that would be the day to enter the Spiritual Herbal Gardens!
His time in the Misty Illusory Manor was finally coming to an end!
Perhaps the day later, he would be leaving this place, and he might never return ever again.
Although he’d only stayed here for a short time, the things he’d done for the Misty Illusory Manor were not little. At the very least, he’d destroyed the several thousand year old scheme of the Zhan Family and even killed two of the Zhan Family’s Saint Venerables, greatly lessening their strengths and possibly preventing a great danger in the Misty Illusory Manor. These… should be enough to absolve his crime of lying to them right? As his thoughts travelled here, Jun Mo Xie sighed heavily…
This kind of guilt on his conscience was truly a little difficult to bear…
In these few days, Miao Xiao Miao’s extra tenderness and care had caused Young Master Jun to feel even more uncomfortable…

Dummy, what are you thinking about?
Seeing Jun Mo Xie somewhat distracted, Miao Xiao Miao asked gently. In this period of time, Miao Xiao Miao had been as warm and gentle as she could with him, even using such an intimate name like ‘dummy’ with him, completely removing the ‘Young Master’ form of address. As she’d said before, she wished to use her gentle love to help Jun Mo Xie heal the pain in his heart…

It’s nothing…
Jun Mo Xie sighed again.

Can you… talk to me about it… is it her?
Rather than letting him keep it in his heart, she would rather he spill the painful memories. That way, he might feel a bit better. If he kept all those emotions in his heart all the time, it would become an emotional problem later on.

Her?
Jun Mo Xie turned his head absentmindedly and asked in a confused manner.
Which her?


The person… in your heart…
Miao Xiao Miao said in a tiny voice.
That her whom you couldn’t forget…
