352 Wrongly Accusing Li Jue Tian (1/2)
Feng Juan Yuan coldly looked at the Solitary Eagle. He then turned to Li Teng Yun, and spoke in a cold voice once the boy had fallen to the ground, ”You must learn who you can offend, Li Teng Yun. You are lucky. I would kill those who provoke me… even if they're the Emperor's relatives! I haven't killed you for the sake of your father's reputation. More so… because I couldn't ignore my friendly relations with the Second Great Master…!”
”Feng Juan Yun, you are truly very mighty!” Li Jue Tian finally turned and spoke-up. He didn't hide the killing intention in his eyes as he looked at Feng Juan Yun with a cold stare. Shi Chang Xiao and Lei Wu Bei moved forward to mediate the situation. [Do you have to renew your fighting when we're faced with such a formidable enemy?]
Feng Juan Yun didn't back-off either. He returned the stare, and pressed on his word. Then, a cold smile escaped the corners of his mouth after a while as he spoke while he shook his head, ”It seems that I shouldn't have come today.” Then, he turned around and continued, ”This Feng bids goodbye to everyone for now.”
His figure flew into the air as he finished speaking. Then, his stern voice resounded from mid-air, ”Jun Wu Yi! We will drink wine and talk freely if you survive this day! I — Feng Juan Yun — see your tragedy and helplessness. I wish good fortune to the Jun Family for the days to come, but bid my goodbye for now!”
The echoes of his voice hadn't subsided when his body suddenly moved, and a bright sword light shot out from him. Feng Juan Yun's body shot out like a comet along with that light, and disappeared without a trace. However, he left one lingering sneer behind, ”Silver Blizzard City, Xue Hun Manor… their reputations are great, but they're nothing beyond that! He he…”
His voice echoed throughout the valley, ”But, they're nothing… but, they're nothing…”
Jun Wu Yi looked up from his position at the front of the battle formation. His cold and lofty expression was suffused with a hint of warmth as he looked at the brilliant sword light in the sky.
”Many thanks.” Jun Wu Yi spoke lightly… as if he was talking to himself. His heart was flooded with warmth. He had realized that 'justice' did exist in this world. And, that good people also existed in society.
However, this event had instantly made Li Jue Tian's calm face turn ashen.
He looked his son's swollen face; blood was flowing out of his mouth. And then, he looked at Solitary Eagle and Shi Chang Xiao. They also had displeased expressions on their faces. Then, he asked with resentment, ”May I venture to ask the two Great Masters if they too believe that this behaviour was 'inappropriate'?”
”Do you genuinely believe that your scheming in this matter is in accordance to heaven's will, and will be considered as reasonable? Do you actually believe that it's some sort of majestic justice?” Solitary Eagle rolled his eyes. He continued with anger, ”Li Jue Tian, can't you tell the right from the wrong despite being the Second Great Master?”
”Who in this world dares to say that this old man is confusing himself between the right and the wrong?” A light flashed in Li Jue Tian's eyes as he gave the Solitary Eagle a severe look, ”Solitary Eagle, don't forget that this old man has only one son! I'm willing to make the entire world my enemy to accomplish his desires!”
”Ha ha! Where was this heroic spirit of yours when you were facing that 'Venerable Mei' a few days ago? I've heard that your son is the main reason behind this debacle. Do you dare to deny it? Oh, and he's your only son, ah? Did it ache your heart when this old man smacked your son, and sent him rolling on the ground? True, I did do it. But, the palm of my hand saved his life in reality. Otherwise, the Li Family would've never been able to continue its bloodline! So, why aren't you rushing to show this old man your immense gratitude?”
Solitary Eagle's straightforward temperament resurfaced. He straightened his neck, and narrowed his eyes as he ridiculed in a sharp manner by disregarding everything else. He genuinely hadn't held back by even though he had confronted Li Jue Tian.
He didn't flinch… even though he knew that he was no match for Li Jue Tian. Then, he pointed at Jun Wu Yi, and turned his head as he spoke, ”Li Jue Tian, your son is a son. But, have others' sons cropped out of stone? Those four-thousand men whose lives you're throwing away are also father to their children, and sons to their mothers. They will turn to bones after their death; just like your son! His flesh will also smell like theirs in death! So, what's the point of pampering your son like this?”
The Cold-Blooded Master Lei Wu Bei's face turned cold as he spoke-up, ”You're arguing over such trivial things when the matter has already gotten to this point? This joke isn't funny anymore! We're damned to die at this rate, but we mustn't die here. However, do you think that we can survive if you guys keep causing internal disputes like this? This old man had eleven disciples a few days back; I had trained them in stealth. But, eight of them have died due to some unfathomable mystery, and I haven't even been able to determine their killer yet. Shouldn't I also be heading over to a different place to seek my revenge if I were to take advice from your theories?”
Shi Chang Xiao also restrained his anger, and tried to calm things down. Li Jue Tian hadn't taken note of it, but Shi Chang Xiao was a respected and responsible entity in his native country. But, he had come over to this side of the border for the well-being of the common people. Shi Chang Xiao had never considered himself a good man, but he was surely amongst the best of them in this prevailing scenario; Shi Chang Xiao had rushed over to assist the Xue Hun Manor. Li Jue Tian's words were very unreasonable, but he knew that this wasn't the time for 'infighting'.
Solitary Eagle was equally annoyed. [Damn it! I took action for Feng Juan Yun's sake. But, I still saved your son's life in the end. You should be grateful to me; you should erect a stone tablet in thanks. Yet, you have this storm of evil ideas in your head! Where's the justice in this?]
[Do you think that you can bully me because I rank last in the list? Do you think I'm so weak that you can 'daddy me around' like that? I admit that you're stronger than me. But, I have my speed. Do you think that you could even catch-up with me in case you decided to kill me?]
The first-rate experts of the Spirit Xuan realm — like Xiao Bu Yu — also went forward to mediate the situation. The four Great Masters eventually snorted in a heavy manner, and turned away.
The Solitary Eagle was very fretful. He knew that Li Teng Yun was the main reason behind this entire debacle. But, he couldn't understand why Jun Mo Xie had stopped him from going into battle alongside Jun Wu Yi. He didn't get how Jun Mo Xie had such assurance even though the Great Master himself was extremely perturbed by this. Therefore, the Great Master had no choice but to look around from time to time for a trace of Jun Mo Xie…
The Solitary Eagle had no intention to participate in this matter; he had already received Jun Mo Xie's warning.
It was just that the Young Master Jun had flown off to somewhere, and no one knew his whereabouts…
Then, a dark cloud rose from the depths of the Tian Fa forest as numerous flying Xuan Beasts quickly made their way forward. Then, a thunderous sound was heard from the ground as terrestrial Xuan Beasts rushed ahead. None who listened to this rumbling sound could tell the number of Xuan Beasts that were a part of this charging army. However, the enormous prestige and the impetus of this charge was enough to frighten the entirety of Tian Xiang.
There was a burst of sudden fluctuation in the air as something broke at the speed of sound to greet them. It was Jun Mo Xie flying like a comet with the help of his Yin Yang Escape…
