The three could not help but be stunned. Never would they have thought that Jun Mo Xie would actually utter such cold words! If those words were spread to the outside world, the Evil Monarch Manor would probably turn into the public enemy of the entire pugilistic world or even the entire continent!

Normally, the three of them would be ecstatic with joy. They were just worried that they had nothing to use against the Evil Monarch Manor, and Jun Mo Xie had actually handed them such a great gift!

However, with the War for Seizing the Heavens so close, they could not afford to lose the battle strength of the Evil Monarch Manor. If the Evil Monarch Manor really announced that they were unwilling to join the war, that would directly equate to a loss on the side of the humans.

The three of them looked at each other and instantly understood the meaning behind this. This little thief Jun Mo Xie had most likely lost control of his emotions for some unknown reason and came to look for them to vent his anger. Otherwise, there was no reason for him to go off on them like that. Unfortunately, the timing now was extremely sensitive; otherwise, it would be an excellent time to get rid of the Evil Monarch Manor, given that they had been provided with a perfect and righteous reason. But now, they could only endure helplessly!

Today, we’ve come here looking for this fellow to discuss serious matters. However, it’s simply just playing the lute to a cow, and there won’t be any results no matter what!

If they continued discussing like this, there would really be no turning back, without any possibility of progressing, with the talk completely breaking down!

Once the talk broke down, the consequences were not something that anyone could handle!

This fellow right now was simply like a keg of explosives which would explode with the slightest trigger!

He was even a super huge keg of explosives that if ignited, would definitely end with the death of many people!

“Since Manor Lord Jun is in a bad mood today, we will talk about this another day. This matter concerns the lives of the people, and the future of the continent. It cannot be taken lightly!” After saying that, the three of them stood up to leave.

“Who said that I’m in a bad mood? My mood is extremely good! Terrifically good!” Jun Mo Xie widened his eyes, and his posture was as if he was about to start killing at anytime.

The three pretended that they didn’t hear him, taking his words as mere fart. Snorting lightly, they turned around.

“You will talk because you want to talk, and leave when you want to? Where is there such a good thing? Let me tell you honestly; after today, this daddy will not have the energy to chatter with the few of you anymore! Talk?! Talk your granny’s head!”

Young Master Jun had a bellyful of anger and nowhere to vent it. His hands were itchy, and his blood was restless. It was as if he needed to kill a few people to calm his emotions down. Staring vehemently at the three’s disappearing backview, he roared after them. It was as if he was saying ‘Hurry up and talk back to me ah! If you dare to talk back to me, I will kill you!’

Mo Wu Dao and the others’ mental strength were truly formidable; pretending that they heard anything, they completely disappeared into the distance.

After screaming and shouting for some time, Young Master Jun could be said to have vented a bit of his anger. Sitting down huffily on the table, he started to boil half a pot of tea. Just when he was about to start drinking, he heard a voice outside. “Young Master, Zhan Wu Feng of the Zhan Family from the Misty Illusory Manor seeks an audience!”

“Let them in!” Jun Mo Xie banged the teacup on the table and placed his leg on the table in a ruffian-ish manner.

“Erm… Manor Lord Jun?” Zhan Wu Feng came in with two Saint Emperors, and the instant they stepped through the door, they saw this Evil Monarch drinking fiercely from his cup and shaking his legs like a common rogue, sitting atop the table as he looked at them. That gaze in his eyes was as if a ferocious lion of the plains had seen three wild rabbits.

Eh? Is this person really that same Evil Monarch we saw in the hall? There doesn’t seem to be anything similar about him from his demeanor and manner of speaking… it can’t be an impersonator, right?

“En, experts of the Zhan Family of the Misty Illusory Manor, please sit!” Jun Mo Xie forced a smile onto his face as he greeted. At the same time, he thought in his heart. The lineup from the Misty Illusory Manor seemed to be somewhat odd. It should have been enough for Miao Zhan, Miao Dao and Miao Jian to come. But what are these people of the Zhan Family here for as well? It seems to be a bit redundant to send so many people?

Could this be a ploy by Miao Jing Yun, borrowing a knife to kill someone? But they hadn’t said anything about it, ah…

“Zhan Wu Feng does not dare to claim the title of an expert in front of Manor Lord Jun. This time, we have come here, wishing only to propose a possibility of a cooperation between our two factions.” Zhan Wu Feng furrowed his brows, not knowing if he should sit or stand.

This Evil Monarch truly had a strange way of receiving his guests. He was sitting atop the table himself… so what were they as the guests supposed to do? It wouldn’t be respectful to stand, but if they sat, wouldn’t they be sitting beneath him?

The two Saint Emperors at the back instantly had looks of rage on their faces! This Jun Mo Xie was truly too rude!

“Cooperate?” Jun Mo Xie tilted his head. “What kind of cooperation?”

Zhan Wu Feng felt as if he had eaten a fly, and he loosened his collar uncomfortably. He had taken the initiative to seek a cooperation, and this could already be considered giving the other party a great deal of face. Who would have thought that this fellow would behave in such an overbearing manner, as if the Zhan Family were there to suck up to him.

Although Zhan Wu Feng had often heard in the Misty Illusory Manor that the Evil Monarch was a rare genius with amazing abilities, it was still far less than what the outside world knew.

If one only judged him based on the rumors, there was nothing too shocking.

Besides, the people of the Misty Illusory Manor had always held a lofty and arrogant attitude, looking disdainfully at the outside world even the three Holy Lands were not necessarily people that they placed in their eyes. This kind of attitude was especially apparent in the Zhan Family that had always sat among the top of the Misty Illusory Manor.

So although Zhan Wu Feng was shocked by the strength of the Evil Monarch Manor, he didn’t really place much importance on it. The only thing he took seriously was Jun Mo Xie’s age. There was still great room for him to improve and it was convenient for them to borrow his strength. Even if they truly started working together with the Evil Monarch Manor, it was still based on their future strength.

If the Evil Monarch Manor became strong one day and managed to thoroughly suppress the three Holy Lands, then they would naturally be a strong ally and would work with them properly. But if the Evil Monarch Manor became disadvantaged in the fight against the three Holy Lands, there was even a possibility of the Zhan Family secretly contacting the Holy Lands instead, helping them to thoroughly destroy this Evil Monarch Manor, and then bringing Jun Mo Xie into the Misty Illusory Manor and turning him into part of the Zhan Family’s strength…

“The subject of cooperation is naturally about the Xuan Xuan Continent, this large piece of land. In other words, our Zhan Family will use our full strength to assist you to replace the three Holy Lands and sit stably as the hegemon of the continent!” Zhan Wu Feng said lightly. He had full confidence that with such an attractive bait, there was no reason for Jun Mo Xie to reject them!

“Oh? The terms are certainly generous to the point where it’s difficult for me to decline! But since it’s a cooperation, there should be contributions on both sides as well. So what am I expected to contribute?”

Jun Mo Xie asked blandly, without a change of expression. “Don’t tell me that your Zhan Family had simply found this Seat pleasing to the eye and decided to support this Seat unconditionally to dominate the world, without asking for anything back right?”

“Manor Lord Jun’s words are indeed right. We naturally have things that we want as well.” Zhan Wu Feng looked at Jun Mo Xie’s expression and a light smile formed on his face. It was as if he had already managed to see through Jun Mo Xie’s heart.

“Say it.”

“It’s actually a very simple request. We only need some resources that only the Xuan Xuan Continent has. Manor Lord Jun will only need to be in charge of providing them to us. As these resources… will only be provided to the Zhan Family.” Zhan Wu Feng said with a sly grin.

“Only to the Zhan Family? You’re saying… I can’t sell them to the Miao Family?” Jun Mo Xie said with a faint smile. There was an odd meaning in his smile, and he scratched his nose seemingly unconsciously. He stretched out three fingers and placed them under his chin, then put them down immediately again.

“It’s not just the Miao Family… this is the same for all the other factions in the Misty Illusory Manor! After all, this cooperation is only between the Evil Monarch Manor and my Zhan Family… not the Misty Illusory Manor!

Zhan Wu Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly. “I’ll put it simply so both of us know what this is about; the Zhan Family will help Manor Lord Jun to dominate Xuan Xuan Continent, while Manor Lord Jun will help the Zhan Family to dominate the Misty Illusory Manor! Basically, that is it!”

“So from what you said, your Zhan Family wants to rely on these resources to come out on top against the current lords of the Misty Illusory Manor, the Miao Family. At the same time, monopolizing all the resources will bolster the strength of the Zhan Family in the Misty Illusory Manor, forcing the Miao Family to relent the position of Lord to your Zhan Family as the new controllers of the Misty Illusory Manor?”

Jun Mo Xie nodded lightly. “So the resources that you want from this Seat are things that the Misty Illusory Manor does not have, or have very little of. And they are not enough to satisfy the needs of the entire Misty Illusory Manor. These are things that only the Xuan Xuan Continent can provide… am I right? In other words, without these things, the Misty Illusory Manor will not be able to function to a certain extent?”

“Indeed!” Zhan Wu Feng had not expected that this youngster’s mind would spin this quickly, instantly arriving at the main point.

“So, regardless of which family in the Misty Illusory Manor manages to monopolize these resources, they would basically have the strength to become the controllers of the entire Misty Illusory Manor!” Jun Mo Xie’s face sunk slightly. “However, my guess is that these resources are not that easy to obtain. Most likely, only people with enough strength will be able to obtain them! Otherwise, there would be no need for you to work with the three Holy Lands at all. Because before this, only the three Holy Lands had enough experts.”

“… Manor Lord Jun’s analysis is exactly on point!” Zhan Wu Feng’s eyes started to shrink.

Only now did Zhan Wu Feng begin to view Jun Mo Xie’s intelligence seriously. This youngster’s mind was extremely meticulous, and his judgement was incredibly accurate to the point of being shocking.

“It’s still a bit early to say that my analysis is completely on point. My guess is that these resources that the Misty Illusory Manor lacks is something that even the most powerful person cannot obtain too much of at one time… En, or perhaps, there are only so many of those resources… or it might be that these resources have special traits or conditions that limits the periods which they can be harvested. This means that there needs to be someone stationed around them for long periods, in order to be ready to harvest the materials at any time. Or maybe it’s something that can only be obtained through great effort over an extremely long time. Am I right?”

This time, Zhan Wu Feng did not speak and fell completely silent. However, his heart was completely wrecked with heavy waves!

This Jun Mo Xie’s analytical ability was truly too scary!

If those resources were things that could be harvested in great amounts every time, the Misty Illusory Manor could have obtained enough to use for tens of thousands of years in one shot, developing by themselves at will without having to have someone else’s hands gripping around their throats. Since they still had to rely on outside help, there had to be some special reasons involved.

In that case, there were only two possibilities from Jun Mo Xie’s analysis.

If this matter was explained through, there was truly nothing to be surprised at. But to be able to make such an analysis in a short time right after hearing it for the first time required an incredibly high level of intelligence and meticulous mind! If even a tiny shred of wit was missing, one’s subconscious mind would simply pass over all the details!
