Zhan Wu Feng had never expected this lass to be this sharp-tongued. Every single line was so insulting as if she were hinting at something else. From her words, it was as if she knew something… He couldn't help but feel more wary of her.
But he was just having groundless fears. The reason why Miao Xiao Miao said these was completely because she was forced by their words, and not because she really got a hold on some secret of the Zhan Family. But as the saying went, a casual remark sounds significant to a suspicious listener. The moment Zhan Wu Feng heard this, he felt something as off and couldn't help but begin to feel suspicious.
"Stop bickering! We are making this trip representing the Misty Illusory Manor! Why are we bickering amongst ourselves? Zhan Wu Feng, you are already a few hundred years old. Wrangling with a young lass in such an unbridled manner, do you still have any shame!" Miao Dao turned around and chided impatiently. His cold gaze looking at Zhan Wu Yun. But his protectiveness over Miao Xiao Miao was clear in his words.
Zhan Wu Feng turned red and immediately shut his mouth.
Miao Zhan scoffed coldly. He found these people from the Zhan Family insufferable. Since he already intended not to bring these people back alive, naturally he had no need to banter with a few people who were about to die. But he still felt that time was passing a little too slowly, letting these b*stards behave so arrogantly like this before him…
Right now, Miao Zhan was thinking. Should I let these people die in the hands of the Evil Monarch? Or just let them die in my hands? Since they're destined not to return alive, as opposed to letting an outsider have it easy, might as well do it ourselves, so that their deaths will not bring down the mighty repute of the Misty Illusory Manor!
Miao Jian breathed out slowly and mumbled to himself. "Why haven't the people from three Holy Lands arrived yet? Although this is a distance from the three Holy Lands, but it doesn't make sense for not a single one of them not arriving yet!"
Miao Dao smiled. "The three Holy Lands have always been eruptive in the way they handle things. They often gain the initiative by striking first, catching the enemy off guard. I believe they're already near…"
Just as he was saying this, Miao Dao's expression changed. Following which, Miao Jian and Miao Zhan's expressions also turned serious. All three of them turned to look in the direction of a dense forest.
There was a powerful aura coming over from that direction at exceedingly high speed!
Miao Dao shook his head and said in bewilderment. "How uncanny, speak of the devil."
Miao Jian shook his head and uttered softly, "The people of the Holy Lands are really devils. You speak of the b*stard and he comes."
Miao Xiao Miao guffawed, her body trembling from the laughter. Miao Jian's words are really insulting…
"Brother Miao, to arrive this early. Ha, looks like the Misty Illusory Manor is rather concerned about this matter with the Evil Monarch. We have allowed Brother Miao to wait for us for so long; that is truly great sin, ah!" A clear, unfettered voice rang out. Following this voice, seven white figures appeared from the dense forest.
"Brother Gu… why is it you who has came personally? Looks like the Elusive World of Immortals came prepared, ah." Miao Zhan laughed and walked over to greet.
From the shadows of the forest, seven white figures emerged, six males and a female. They were all donned in white robes. The men had ash-gray hair, and a sharp look in their eyes. The only woman amongst them looked like she had walked out of a painting, an ethereal beauty like an immortal who had descended in the mortal world.
"I believe this one in the middle is the current Palace Lord of the Elusive World of Immortals, Mo Wu Dao?" Miao Zhan's eyes landed on that man in the center of the seven people with a curious look in his eyes.
This person's face was handsome like a crown jade with delicate features. He had white robes that contrasted with his black hair. Upon first look, he really looked like an otherworldly existence, extremely carefree and unfettered. And most importantly, amongst these seven people, he had the lowest cultivation. Just in terms of cultivation, he was only slightly stronger than Miao Xiao Miao and Zhan Yu Ting, amongst those who were present. But he had an air of calmness, confidence, and ease, with a vague tinge of nobility, as if he gave orders without even opening his mouth!
And of the other six people, amongst the five men, three were Saint Emperors and were two Saint Venerables. And that beautiful female also has the cultivation level of a Saint Venerable. Her strength slightly higher amongst all of them.
These six people may be above Mo Wu Dao in terms of their cultivation, but in terms of presence, he stood out exceedingly. It was enough to tell that this person was not ordinary! This was a demeanor that was cultivated from giving orders from a high position for a long time! The other people didn't have it…
Mo Wu Dao had a kind look in his eyes as he looked at Miao Zhan and greeted him with a smile. "This is Miao Zhan from Misty Illusory Manor… Senior Miao, this junior Mo Wu Dao greets Senior."
His words were extremely ordinary, but the moment this ordinary sentence came out of his mouth, it gave one a genuine and sincere feeling. Coupled with the look in his eyes, everyone felt that his greeting was sincere and heartfelt, with not the slightest bit of falseness!
Miao Zhan looked at him for a while silently. Mo Wu Dao maintained his smile. Although he did not open his mouth to speak again, but that sincere smile and clear look in his eyes made one feel that this person was a modest gentlemen and worth befriending.
"Mo Wu Dao… truly remarkable." Miao Zhan sighed softly. Just this demeanor alone was truly rare to find in the Misty Illusory Manor, with the exception of Miao Huan Yu.
No wonder this person can rule the Elusive World of Immortals with the strength of a third level Venerable with no one who unconvinced. Just this profound shrewdness in his methods alone is already unsurpassable.
"Wu Dao is unworthy of that praise of 'remarkable' from Senior. Worldly affairs have bothered me for many years and I am truly ashamed to not have may any improvements in my cultivation. Senior Qiao Ying is the head for the journey this time. This junior is merely here to make up for the numbers." Mo Wu Dao said, pointing to the woman in their group.
That elegant woman was Qiao Ying. With Qiao Ying's status and position, she need not come forth on this trip. But Qiao Ying was truly worried about the Exquisite Lotus that Jun Mo Xie had taken… To Qiao Ying, those Exquisite Lotus were like her own children. How could she not be deeply worried? This sort of feeling was naturally incomparable to others.
Qiao Ying may be powerful and was the one in command for this trip amongst all the rest from the Elusive World of Immortals, but when it came to handling affairs, it was the opposite case. But it was a fact that her status is extraordinary, so although Mo Wu Dao was the Palace Lord of Elusive World of Immortals, he still treated her with respect. But no one would believe that she was the one in command for this journey.
"This is Miss Qiao Ying? We've heard of your great name for a long time!" Miao Zhan said sincerely. In the entire Misty Illusory Manor, almost everyone knew of Qiao Ying's name. She was the only other unique existence that had eaten the Seven Colored Holy Fruit outside of Misty Illusory Manor. And at the same time, she was also fortunate enough to eat the Exquisite Lotus! And more than once! This sort of good fortune blessed by heavens was truly matchless.
Not only Miao Zhan, but Miao Dao, Miao Jian, Miao Xiao Miao, and those from the Zhan Family also focused their gaze on Qiao Ying. They had all heard of her name, but had never seen her before. So it was really an eye opener for them today.
Qiao Ying may have high cultivation, but compared to an ordinary person with no Xuan cultivation, she was at a loss as to how to react to the looks from everyone else. She didn't know how to reply!
"Having seen the svelty of all the Seniors today, the Misty Illusory Manor truly lives up to it's reputation. Mo Wu Dao is truly ashamed ah." Mo Wu Dao sighed.
As he spoke, he shook his head, his low spirits were obvious on his face. And there was a flash of shame. Although it was only a flash, everyone saw it. This made one believe that this person admitting to his own flaws, practical and realistic, not exaggerating at all. He was truly one who was worthy of being trusted.
Just this line alone had saved Qiao Ying from her self-awkwardness. Truly smooth and slick enough to make everything go his way.
"The Holy Lands controls the world and rules over the secular world; if not for Palace Lord Mo ruling the Elusive World of Immortals, how will those old fellows have the time to cultivate?" Miao Zhan said with a smile. "Palace Lord Mo may have been hindered in your cultivation, but it is all for the welfare of all the lives in the world. Your current work will benefit the next thousand years to come. This old man and the rest is truly feels deep veneration for someone like Palace Lord! Even if your cultivation is somewhat weak, but what does that matter!"
It could be seen that Miao Zhan had a good impression of Mo Wu Dao.
It was truly difficult to feel dislike a person when facing someone like this.
Mo Wu Dao laughed carefreely. "How could I not understand this logic… it's just that… everyone is capable of speaking about this logic, even myself included… but it is still inevitable to feel some disappointment… Wu Dao's immature antics… Have truly incurred Senior's ridicule."
As they talked, both parties have easily walked alongside towards the tents that they had set up earlier. The three Saint Emperors from the Elusive World of Immortals began to swiftly set up their own tents beside those that the Misty Illusory Manor had set up. They may be Saint Emperor experts, but compared to Miao Zhan and Qiao Ying, they really did not amount to anything much…
Everyone exchanged pleasantries and entered the tent, sitting down accordingly to their statuses. Mo Wu Dao may be a junior, but he was still the Palace Lord of the Elusive World of Immortals, and at the same time, his words counted most amongst all these present. So he took the first seat. Mo Wu Dao was seated, then Qiao Ying, who was the one in command in name only, sat down in the second seat.
"Haha, I wonder what opinions the seniors of Misty Illusory Manor have towards the Evil Monarch opening his own faction?" Mo Wu Dao asked with a smile, a calm look in his eyes, and a humble expression on his face.
The moment this sentence was said, Miao Dao, Miao Jian, Miao Zhan and Zhan Wu Feng sensed it at the same time. Through only a couple of exchange of greetings and his unique charisma and speech, Mo Wu Dao had successfully taken control of the direction of the conversation. This man was truly impressive!
His question was: "What opinion do they have towards the Evil Monarch opening his faction." There was no problem with this question upon first glance; it was a very ordinary question. But everyone's line of thought was completely confined within this topic.
The moment you spoke, you must answer his question first!
And while this question may seem like an ordinary question at first glance, there was an extremely sharp focus hidden within! And it was focusing on the Evil Monarch! The four of them knew that the moment Mo Wu Dao began with this sentence, if they were unable to bring out another topic to strong enough to change the current one, all the conversations that followed would be controlled by Mo Wu Dao and would be headed in the direction that was unfavourable for the Evil Monarch!
And this sort of situation was extremely unfavorable for those from Misty Illusory Manor, who had already made up their mind to stand by stay neutral and observe first!
But everyone had come because of the matter of the Evil Monarch starting his own faction, so what other topic could be more important than this?
