Otherworldly Evil Monarch

Seeing Jun Mo Xie’s fiendish looking appearance, that person only felt extremely disgusted and unlucky. To think that he would bump into such an ugly thing the instant he stepped outside. And from the looks of it, this person was an evil young master as well. Scrunching his face, he hurriedly replied, “It’s right in front; you’ll find it by following the crowd.”

Jun Mo Xie made an ‘oh’ sound and released him. He quickly dove into the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jun Mo Xie smiled faintly with his crooked mouth and swaggered his way forward with the crowd.

Hmm, that person wasn’t lying; this Tanguan Hall is really easy to find. Knowing that this Young Master is walking in this direction, he decided to host a whatever Grand Music Banquet… If I don’t go, wouldn’t I be letting down his kind intentions?

So Jun Mo Xie arrogantly made his way to the Tanguan Hall with a mindset of finding pleasure in helping others…

On the other side, from the west side of the city, there were also some people rushing towards Tanguan Hall.

A group of people had just stepped into the western gate and entered the city when they heard the words Grand Music Banquet and Young Master Chen.

One of them, a lady with her face hidden behind a black veil, snorted coldly as she rode atop her horse. “Looks like this Young Master Chen is pretty famous. He hasn’t even played anything, and so many people are running over to listen…”

An old man next to her asked tentatively, “Then… My lady, do we go over to take a look?”

“That’s good too. To think that I’d receive such a large surprise right after I stepped into Chrysanthemum City. I, Zhan Meng Die, shall also take the chance to take a look at this fiance of mine. The Xuan Xuan Continent’s Heartbroken Young Master; just how will he break the hearts of men…” The girl laughed softly and said. Her slender legs kicked lightly against the horse’s belly, and it trotted forward, making a path through the crowd.

The old man revealed a loving expression as he followed after her. As he watched this young lady grow up, he’d invested a lot of his own feelings in the process. Right now, he treated her as if she were his own granddaughter. When she got engaged this year, it was actually to the Chen Family’s Young Master whom they’d never seen before.

That was why he decided to take a look for himself, how this Chen Young Master looked like, and whether the young miss liked him. Most importantly, how was his character like? If he was like jade on the outside but rotten materials inside, they could make prior arrangements earlier…

With a command, tens of people increased their speed and followed closely behind the young miss towards Tanguan Hall.

People swarmed towards Tanguan Hall from all directions, and as Jun Mo Xie travelled along, he realized that the closer he got to Tanguan Hall, the quieter it god.

When he arrived closer, he saw that the crowd was densely packed, and everyone was looking forward intently, but no one was making any noise at all.

The structure at the center of the crowd was a seven storied building. A large sign hung at the front, bearing the words ‘Tanguan Hall’ in gold, bold strokes. On the left and right was a pair of couplets: Celebrating all abundance and elegance under the heavens; the whole world joins together in a symphony!

Just as Jun Mo Xie reached the front gate, a twang sound rang out from the roof, like an unvoiced resonant. A clear chord rang out, its sound light and refreshing, like the clear springs of the deep mountains, purifying the inner heart and soul, arriving unhurriedly. In an instant, the several thousand people were completely silent!

Jun Mo Xie smiled mutely and swaggered forward, using his qi to forcefully carve a path through the crowd. Everyone could only look at his backview with rage, but after sensing the strength of his aura, none of them dared to say anything as they watched him walk swingingly forward like a drunken man, directly entering Tanguan Hall!

Just as Jun Mo Xie stepped into Tanguan Hall, a series of acoustic musical sounds rang out from the top. From the looks of it, that Heartbroken Young Master had started to play. The music was clear, elegant, and natural, without the least bit of fluff. It even carried a discreet sense of joy within, as if it was conveying a joy of welcoming a guest from faraway.

It was the song “A confidante is near!”

To the musicians of the Xuan Xuan Continent, this was a song that all of them knew and was even more popular among scholars. This was a song that pursued an artistic mood and conception, easy to learn but difficult to master. Those who had the artistic skills to play it on the spot were rare, and anyone who could play it at the highest level were exceedingly hard to come by!

Jun Mo Xie smiled lightly as he listened to the music. The sound of the zither rang out the moment he stepped into Tanguan Hall. There were no errors in the timing at all. It was as if it was coordinated specially for himself. Looks like this Heartbroken Young Master was displaying some goodwill towards him.

At this time, Young Master Jun’s powerful spiritual sense had detected that over a dozen spiritual senses had locked onto himself. The cultivation levels of these people were very wide, with the weakest only being at the Sky Xuan level, and the slightly stronger ones were at the first or second level of Spirit Xuan. There were a few much more powerful auras, presumably of the Superior Supreme level.

There were also two hidden auras, somewhat intangible and fluctuating. Jun Mo Xie’s eyebrows rose slightly with shock. That was at least a Venerable level cultivation! And they were at the very least second level Venerables!

It was truly hard to imagine that this so-called super family would actually have so many top tier experts! This was surely a bit too ridiculous! Just based on this lineup, their strength was almost equivalent to Blizzard Silver City at its peak!

A mere worldly family, no matter what, shouldn’t be this powerful?

In that case, the only explanation was that most of these experts were people sent here by the three Holy Lands!

Looks like the three Holy Lands were truly determined to deal with the Dongfang Family this time! But Jun Mo Xie somehow found it quite amusing. The three Holy Lands always sent small forces to deal with him, slowly increasing it. They never seemed to have truly taken him seriously, resulting in them being defeated time and again.

Now, they finally seemed to have acknowledged his strength and decided to strike with full force. Just when they were about to crush him with all their power, the news came from Zhan Mu Bai’s own mouth that Jun Mo Xie was confirmed to be dead.

Mo Wu Dao had nowhere to vent the frustration in his chest, so he decided to vent it on Jun Mo Xie’s relative’s family. Truthfully, this lineup should already be more than enough against the Dongfang Family. In fact, the number of experts was sufficient to even destroy two Dongfang Families. But as coincidence would have it… Jun Mo Xie was here again!

With the Chen Family’s strength on top of the assistance from the three Holy Lands, wanting to deal with the Dongfang Family, this was quite sufficient and even a luxurious lineup. But if this lineup against himself… it was simply using an egg to smash a rock!

Previously when the two sides met in battle, the first time was the encirclement attack against Mei Xue Yan, waylaying them on the path to the Dongfang Family. That was only the beginning. Following that, was the battle at Blizzard Silver City, the first true battle between the two sides. In the end, all of Mo Wu Dao’s forces had been buried beneath the crumbled mountain. The second time was the battle at Tian Xiang City. Jun Mo Xie faced off against six Saints alone. Such a lineup could not be said to be weak, but they were ultimately defeated thoroughly as well…

And today, the battle at this Chrysanthemum City that he’d set up, would become the third battlefield between them!

In any case, after this battle, there was no longer any possibility of him being able to conceal himself further. In that case, he might as well take the chance and blow the matter up further, beating his opponents till they hurt, till they’re scared, or even till they’re dead. That was always the best method to deal with the enemy!

The three Holy Lands were planning to use the strength of the worldly Zhan Family and the Chen Family to deal with the Dongfang Family, which also belonged to the worldly family category. But he could similarly use the Zhan Family and Chen Family as bait, causing the three Holy Lands to send a few more people down so he would have an easier time wiping all of them out together…

Jun Mo Xie did not make any strange actions as he stepped casually into Tanguan Hall. His sharp senses told him that there were numerous strong auras focused on him, but he behaved completely nonchalantly as he pushed the crowd aside and climbed up the stairs.

Just like that, he arrived very smoothly at the top level. The zither sounds became clearer, and as Jun Mo Xie looked over, he saw a graceful looking white-robed youth sitting near the railings with an ancient zither in front of him. The zither was a seven string guqin, and his ten fingers danced agilely among the strings, plucking with precise control, producing deeply moving sounds.

This youth’s face was like crowned jade, with delicate features and bright eyes and graceful eyebrows. His body looked slender and tall, and his eyes hid a kind of loneliness and dispiritness. His robes fluttered lightly in the wind, and he appeared like an immortal riding atop the clouds, having an indescribable grace and handsomeness.

Two young ladies dressed in green stood silently behind him. Beside him, there was a pot of incense, emitting faint smoke.

Despite being surrounded by thousands of people, this building had an otherworldly and serene feeling.

Just as Jun Mo Xie walked up, the youth pinched with his five fingers, causing a sharp twang to ring from the guqin, stopping the music abruptly. Raising his head, he looked at him with his dark eyes and smiled lightly.

Just a simple action like that was filled with elegance and natural grace.

Jun Mo Xie’s sharp senses also discovered that in this Heartbroken Young Master’s face, although he was smiling, there was an indifference that’d etched itself into his bones, ruthlessness, and a sorrow that was filled with inexplicable contempt. In the deepest reaches of his eyes, there was a kind of faint helplessness…

With the first instant that he saw him, another name popped into Jun Mo Xie’s head: Li You Ran!

Li You Ran and this youth before him; the two of them, regardless of whether in charm or the natural grace with which they carried themselves—all of it was extremely similar! It was the aloofness accumulated by their powerful family over the years, a kind of aristocrat aura that radiated out from the bone!

But Jun Mo Xie only had a single word in his heart: Tired!

The style was there, the temperament was there, and everything seemed to be there… except himself!

Living like that every single day, isn’t that tiring?

Are you living as yourself, or living out a kind of graceful appearance, of a gentleman?

So Jun Mo Xie only felt an exhausted feeling, sincerely so. Shaking his head, he walked casually in and found a random chair to sit down. Crossing his left foot over the right, he tilted his head to the side and called out. “An esteemed guest had come from faraway; why isn’t there even a single cup of tea? What kind of hospitality is this?”

The youth’s graceful face revealed a light smile as he smiled warmly. His smile was akin to the prettiest lady, and it carried a hint of bashfulness as he said apologetically, “An esteemed guest from afar is a great joy to have. There are naturally tea! Not only tea, there’s even a gift of appreciation.”

As he said that, he clapped his hands lightly and called out: “Serve the tea! Serve the best tea!”
