“En, I might have neglected a very important part just now… these resources should also be located in the territories of the three Holy Lands, right?! Since they are important trading resources with the Misty Illusory Manor, the three Holy Lands will definitely be guarding it fiercely and secretively, refusing to let any outsiders enter. Even the people from your Misty Illusory Manor should be no exception. Or rather, they should be the most guarded against you all! So you all can only wait passively for the three Holy Lands to deliver the resources to you, but you cannot go in to retrieve them yourselves, much less try to take them forcefully! Otherwise, your Misty Illusory Manor could just send your own people to get the resources… with the relationship between the three Holy Lands and you guys, why would they not allow that? Right now, their people are harvesting the materials and only providing you with the goods themselves. That means that the three Holy Lands can provide the resources, but the location of the resources is the true secret!
“So the most important thing should not be the resources themselves, but the location!”
Jun Mo Xie’s eyes shone deeply, like a pair of unfathomable lake.
“That’s… right!” Zhan Wu Feng sucked in a deep breath and nodded heavily. These two short words seemed to be said with great difficulty. At the beginning, he was very relaxed, thinking that he was holding all the chips. No matter how the talk proceeded, he would be holding the initiative. But from just one sentence of his, Jun Mo Xie was able to deduce practically the entire situation. At the same time, his feelings began to grow heavier.
To work with this devil-like Evil Monarch whose wit were so high… was that a fortunate thing or a disaster? For such an intelligent person, even if he was to lose in the fight against the three Holy Lands, who would truly be able to control him even if he entered the Zhan Family? Would they be rearing a tiger that would end up devouring them instead?
“Since those resources are so important to the Misty Illusory Manor, their locations will definitely be extremely highly regarded places in the three Holy Lands! If I want to obtain those resources and enter an alliance with you, it means that I need to pull the three Holy Lands up by their very roots to succeed! In that case, the positions of both sides would fall into one where both sides would not rest until the other is dead, right?” Jun Mo Xie asked in a deep voice.
“That’s right!” Zhan Wu Feng nodded as sweat began to form on his forehead.
Right now, it seemed that he didn’t know how to say any words other than ‘that’s right’.
“With my current strength, we already have the qualifications to stand alongside the three Holy Lands equally. Although the strength of our top experts are not quite there yet, it is still stronger than any one of the three Holy Lands. Even if all things fail, it’s still not a problem to come out with a result where both sides are mutually destroyed.” Jun Mo Xie continued slowly.
“But to have the power is one matter, and completely tearing off all pretenses and declaring war is another matter. Once a war starts, there will be endless battle between the two sides and until one side is completely destroyed, it will not stop! Surely your Zhan Family wouldn’t have not thought of this point, right?” Jun Mo Xie’s eyes shone brightly as he turned his gaze onto Zhan Wu Feng.
His eyes were exceedingly sharp and domineering, causing even Zhan Wu Feng to take one step backwards involuntarily!
“Yes! We had naturally considered this point before in detail. In order to display our sincerity, our Zhan Family will send out our full force to support you if the Evil Monarch Manor and the three Holy Lands truly go to war. I believe that this should be enough to show you our sincerity?” Zhan Wu Feng sucked in a deep breath of air and said.
“Your sincerity? If war happens, my Evil Monarch Manor and Tian Fa Forest would join hands, and assuming that we went all out from the beginning, disregarding all losses, we would be able to completely decimate any one of the three Holy Lands in a very short time! In fact, we would even be able to cause heavy damage to a second Holy Land! But by the time we get to the third Holy Land, the Heaven Saint Palace will definitely come out to stop us. They might not be able to react in time to save the first and second Holy Lands, but no matter how fast we move, the most that we can take down would only be two out of the three Holy Lands! Once the Heaven Saint Palace gets involved, we would not have any chances of winning even if we used our fullpower!”
Jun Mo Xie’s face turned cold.
“But at that stage, both sides can no longer just stop! If a legacy of over 10,000 years has been destroyed, no one would be able to bear it! That kind of hatred would already be enough for both sides to not be able to share the same sky! Moreover, many promising juniors would have been killed. The Heaven Saint Palace are people with saintly hearts, so how would they be able to accept that kind of ending? Only death would be able to resolve this situation. If they attacked with their full force, even with the strength of my Evil Monarch Manor, it would be difficult to even perish together with them! The most likely result would be that they would be heavily wounded, and us, along with Tian Fa Forest, would be completely annihilated!”
“There are too few peak level experts in our Evil Monarch Manor, and compared to those thousands of years old ancient monsters in the Heaven Saint Palace, there is still a considerable power gap. That is simply the accumulation of countless years!”
“I trust that… you all should have considered such a result as well, right? Or perhaps, this was the basis behind your entire plan?” Jun Mo Xie looked at Zhan Wu Feng with an ‘interesting’ gaze.
“This… how is that possible? I’ve already said clearly just now that the instant a war breaks out, we would pour our full force to support you! We will not sit by at the side! After all, this is the basis between the cooperation of our two sides!” Zhan Wu Feng took two steps backwards and denied instantly.
“But I’m quite sure that you all would definitely not show your forces the instant the war begins.” Jun Mo Xie wagged his finger lightly and smiled. “There’s no need to deny it. I wouldn’t believe you even if you tried to deny.
“Perhaps you wouldn’t simply sit by and watch the tigers bite each other to death, but you would wait until the very last moment before charging out! With a force as strong as thunder, you would end the war with a mighty stroke, flattening both Tian Fa Forest and the Evil Monarch Manor and also destroying the three Holy Lands! In fact, you might even take the opportunity to flush out the heavily crippled Heaven Saint Palace! At that time, I believe that there would no longer be any superpowers in the entire Xuan Xuan Continent to contend with your Zhan Family! Just like that, the Zhan Family will dominate the Xuan Xuan Continent!
“Please don’t say that I’m using the yardstick of a base person to measure the motives of the upright. I will think that you are insulting my intelligence. And please don’t say that you don’t have any such plans. Because if you say that, I will think that your entire Zhan Family is full of retards!”
Zhan Wu Feng was about to say something, but his words were instantly shoved right back down his throat by Jun Mo Xie. “Since the entire Xuan Xuan Continent is already in your hands, those precious resources would also naturally fall into the hands of your Zhan Family! At that time, your Zhan Family could behave as you wished in the Misty Illusory Manor as well! Both the inner and outer world would then be in control of your Zhan Family! So your Zhan Family’s ultimate motive is to be the greatest winner at the end of the day! If you proceeded according to this plan, there’s a very large chance of you succeeding… at least an 80 percent chance!”
Zhan Wu Feng was completely stunned speechless!
Because even he had not thought this far himself! He only knew a portion of the plan himself, and as for how it would proceed, it had been left to Zhan Lun Hui and Zhan Wu Yun.
But looking at the overall situation right now, if the Zhan Family didn’t move according to the plan that Jun Mo Xie had said just now, they would really be a family of retards…
Who wouldn’t want to capitalize such a huge, free advantage? Whoever didn’t want to do that would instead be dumb.
Moreover, Zhan Wu Feng knew that his family definitely understood things like this much better, and they were definitely capable of doing such a thing.
“But… we had truly come here this time sincerely to propose an alliance with Lord Jun! If Lord Jun is suspicious about our intentions, you can raise your conditions, and our Zhan Family will do our best to accommodate the Evil Monarch Manor! Right now, the state of things is already very clear; Lord Jun’s side and the three Holy Lands is already at an irreconcilable state, and in the Misty Illusory Manor, the Miao Family’s influence is more skewed towards continuing their cooperative relationship with the three Holy Lands. At best, they would only remain at a neutral stance. However, only our Zhan Family can truly stand on the side of the Evil Monarch Manor.”
Zhan Wu Feng said seriously. His arrogance from before had already disappeared without a trace long ago. However, his mental strength was still resolute, still managing to continue the discussion even like this.
“En, those words are indeed right… since your Zhan Family is sincere in a proper alliance… let me think about it properly…” Jun Mo Xie twiddled his fingers and rapped his forehead a little. Narrowing his eyes, he said. “Oh, I understand. Your Zhan Family might really be sincere in working with me. However, this sincerity might only be limited to me alone, and not the entire Evil Monarch Manor! Isn’t that right?”
Zhan Wu Feng instantly felt cold sweat pouring out of his forehead. His back was also drenched, and his shirt stuck closely to his skin. As the cold wind blew through the window, he only felt a deep chill in his soul.
“But why would you want to work with me? Because… you want to deal with the Miao Family!” Jun Mo Xie raised his head and said. At this time, he finally managed to guess the Zhan Family’s intentions.
“That… is ludicrous! Can the internal matters of our Misty Illusory Manor concern Lord Jun!” Zhan Wu Feng denied. “Where did those words of Lord Jun’s come from?”
“Is it truly ludicrous? Is it really not my concern? I’m still very young ah… and I’m only a few years older than that Free and Natural Physique kid you have at the Misty Illusory Manor! However, my cultivation is 10,000 times stronger than his!”
Upon hearing the four words ‘Free and Natural Physique’, Zhan Wu Feng’s face instantly paled. Widening his eyes with shock, he stared at Jun Mo Xie as if he were looking at a demon!
Jun Mo Xie laughed mockingly. “The cultivation speed of the Free and Natural Physique is undoubtedly incomparable, far beyond the imagination of normal people. If the other families of the Misty Illusory Manor could endure for a time until the Free and Natural Physique kid grows up, they would definitely be able to seize the controlling rights back from the Zhan Family’s hands with ease, even if you manage to gain control over the Misty Illusory Manor. And because of this, if the other families feels threatened, they would probably choose to cede control first, handing the Zhan Family a complete Misty Illusory Manor, whilst looking forward to the day when they can seize back a complete Misty Illusory Manor!
“But if the Zhan Family has me with them to suppress that Free and Natural Physique prodigy, the latter would not be able to make a comeback no matter how long it takes! That way, it’s the equivalence of dashing all the hopes of the remaining seven large families!” As Jun Mo Xie spoke to here, he furrowed his brows and shook his head. “No, wait… if that were true, the seven families would most probably join hands to make a full force counter attack immediately. With seven against one, the Zhan Family would instead suffer greatly…”
