Chapter 1000 - Does Heaven… Truly Exist?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Smacking his lips with amazement, Jun Mo Xie observed the eight mountain peaks seriously. He needed to determine which of these peaks belonged to the Zhan Family just by their auras! The auras of these eight large families were very different, so it should not be hard to distinguish.

The Zhan Family could also be said to be the number one aristocrat family of the Misty Illusory Manor right now, with strong experts. So it should not be difficult to identify them based on feng shui.

Jun Mo Xie narrowed his eyes and checked according to the Hongjun Pagoda’s records on feng shui.

The most Eastern peak should belong to the Miao Family. Right now, the Miao Family’s aura was already weakening obviously. Among the eight peaks, nearly every peak had a dazzling red light piercing towards the heavens, merging together with the main peak. Only the Miao Family’s aura was significantly weaker.

Quite clearly, in terms of aura, it was far from reaching the standards of the other families.

This was something to be expected. The Misty Illusory Manor had always been led by the Miao Family. As time passed, the Miao Family members naturally grew complacent. But everytime the power structure of the Misty Illusory Manor changed, or even within internal positions of the Miao Family changed, it would greatly affect their fortune.

And by this point, the Miao Family’s luck could be said to have deteriorated to an extremely dangerous level!

If the position of the Manor Lord changed hands, while the other families would also be affected, they wouldn’t be affected that greatly. But for the Miao Family, they would exhaust their last bit of fortune, completely losing everything!

And it just so happened that the Zhan Family’s current strength was too overpowering. Their intention to usurp the top position was already obvious with a glance. With the large power difference, the Miao Family’s fortune could easily be seen as they deteriorated with each passing day...

Among the eight peaks, the mountain on the West side was the most powerful; the red light shining from it was the most dazzling. With its strong momentum, it could even affect the most prominent peak; there was a big and arrogant aura bursting from it!

Among the eight mountain peaks, this peak’s luck and destiny were the most prosperous! Even, compared to the prominent peak, it was not much worse!

Obviously, this place was where the Zhan Family was located!

However, Jun Mo Xie felt a strange sensation from that place.

From that impressive red light, there was a kind of extremely disharmonious feeling; although it was very concealed, but the feeling was still very obvious. Even after he saw it, he could feel a deep hair raising feeling from the bottom of his heart...

“This red light is a little too dominating, as if it wants to directly swallow and usurp the position of the owner...” Jun Mo Xie mused with interest. “How can there be such a thing? Even if they’re trying to take over everything, it shouldn’t be to that extent... truly queer...”

After sensing the strangeness, Young Master Jun flew even higher into the sky to have a better view of the situation. As he rose into the sky, past the clouds and hovered directly above the Zhan Family’s red light of destiny, he finally realized what it was. At the core position of this red light, there was actually an exceedingly powerful aura of Yin Evil!

It was this bout of Yin Qi sinking down that forcefully intercepted the red light from the Miao Family’s mountain, suppressing it. Even more ridiculous was that it was using some unknown method to pull the Miao Family’s luck away, transferring it to the Zhan Family’s side. With the fortune of the two most powerful families combined into one, it resulted in such a strange scene...

“So that’s how it is!” Jun Moxie furrowed his brows and muttered. “It seems that there’s someone in the Zhan Family that knows the change of feng shui? It should be a great master of that field to be able to do something so grand... Assuming this is the case, the Zhan Family’s conspiracy should have at least ran from several generations ago, carried out over an extremely long time... How truly deep and scheming...”

Jun Mo Xie snorted coldly. “Based on the situation right now, the peace and stability of the Misty Illusory Manor will be advantageous to the Miao Family, Cao Guo Feng, and the rest. In that case, I shall eradicate this biggest danger of the Misty Illusory Manor and take the chance to express my gratitude to these people!”

As he thought til here, Jun Mo Xie’s roused his Yin Yang Escape Art to its maximum speed. With a whoosh sound, he instantly shot down like a sharp sword, stabbing towards that copious luck of the Zhan Family!

Regardless of what of tiger or dragon’s lair your Zhan Family is, this daddy is here going to turn your place upside down since I’m here now!

If you want to scheme against me, you must endure the rage and vengeance of my wrath!

At this time, Zhan Wu Yun had just returned and was inside the secret chamber, holding a discussion with their core members.

At this moment, inside the entire secret chamber, there were only six people in total!

Four of them had never appeared in any of the family’s secret meetings before.

As for the other two, they were the Patriarch Zhan Wu Yun and Zhan Lun Hui.

As for the other four, the one sitting in the centermost position was an aged man with skinny limbs and yellowish skin. He seemed like a walking corpse, and there was barely any flesh under his skin. It was as if he was only made up of skin that covered his bones. This person was an ancestor level character of the Zhan Family, called Zhan Tian Ji 1 . He was a legendary character of the Misty Illusory Manor over 3,000 years ago, nicknamed ‘Son of Heaven’s Secrets’.

On his left was a person with ruddy complexion, with an appearance of only around 50, 60 years old. This person had a benevolent and kind countenance, a face filled with a benignant look. Even if he wasn’t speaking, he would be looking on with a gentle smile. This was a naural trait of his from birth, and the word ‘smile’ (Xiao) was even included in his name, Zhan Yi Xiao. At a glance, he seemed exceedingly friendly and approachable. However, this was a fellow with the face of a buddha and the heart of a snake. A person who hid daggers behind his smiles. Back when he roamed the pugilistic world, he was known as the ‘Smiling Butcher’. The fearsomeness of this fellow could be easily imagined.

As for the person on the right, his appearance was the exact opposite of Zhan Yi Xiao. His expression was cold and calm, naturally causing others to stay far away from him. This person’s eyes were as ferocious as a savage wolf, while his heart was vicious and cold! His name was Zhan Tu 2 !n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As for the outermost person, it was a middle-aged man who looked like a merchant. His exuded a wealthy look about him, while his face was plain and mediocre without any distinctive features. He looked like the kind of person that if you tossed into a crowd of people, it would be difficult to find him again...

But this person was actually the most terrifying among the four!

This person had a shocking record of slaughtering over 3,000 people in the span of a single night!

Furthermore, after committing such a massacre, he actually returned home at dawn, without a single shred of killing intent on his body!

This person was unsurprisingly named: Earth Penetrating Hand, Zhan Xiao Xiao. If one listened to his name alone, they would think that it was a girl’s name. Who would have imagined that such a person was actually the most terrifying one among the four savage murderers?

But only such calmness could truly be called terrifying!

These four people of the Zhan Family were all incredible existences with unfathomable strengths!

But here, they could only sit at the side!

Even the Patriarch Zhan Wu Yun could only sit at the side as well.

As for the person sitting in the centermost position, it was actually Zhan Lun Hui!

“You’ve seen that Free and Natural Physique kid today? What are your thoughts?” Zhan Lun Hui’s pale face exuded a strange, devilish feeling under the faint illumination of the light in the secret chamber.

Zhan Wu Yun sucked in a deep breath and said with a serious look. “... Very strong! His potential... is extremely great! Today, I’ve witnessed with my own eyes this Mo Jun Ye’s breakthrough from Silver Xuan to Golden Xuan... There’s no way to fake this at all.”

“Did a miracle really appear there?” Zhan Lun Hui’s eyes were the color of dead ash when he looked at Zhan Wu Yun. Even someone close to him like Zhan Wu Yun felt a chill running down his spine!

“Yes! The plants there could grow instantly. There’s also no way to fake such a thing,” Zhan Wu Yun replied honestly.

“In that case... this Mo Jun Ye is really a talent sent down by the heavens?” Zhan Lun Hui’s voice was actually filled with surprise. “The heavens and earth actually produced a miracle because of his presence! That means...”

He paused at this point, not speaking any further. However, his gaze was bright, no longer that same ash grey color. Instead, it gleamed with hope and expectation. Zhan Yi Xiao and the others exchanged a glance, and they nodded lightly.

After that, Zhan Lun Hui continued slowly. “So... the legendary ‘heavens’ truly exists?”

The Heavens!

Are real!

These words, had caused Zhan Wu Yun’s brains to thoroughly freeze!

Because he could finally understand what this old Zhan Family ancestor was truly after!

“However, it doesn’t matter if he’s the Free and Natural Physique of the legends, or a person sent by the heavens! Right now, he’s just an ant with nonexistent cultivation! Keke, the few of us could easily snuff his life out and scatter his soul with but a mere wave of an arm! Wu Yun, what was their reaction when you initiated good intentions towards them?” Zhan Lun Hui tapped his skinny fingers lightly against the table.

Although he had the appearance of a youngster, this action of his was something that only an old man would do!

“They didn’t agree! In fact, that Bai Qi Feng even dug at the scandalous matter of our Zhan Family in the past, thoroughly humiliating me. In a fit of anger, I exchanged a few blows with him.” Just mentioning this matter caused a bellyful of anger to rise through Zhan Wu Yun’s chest.

“Haha, they truly think that a single Free and Natural Physique prodigy is enough to decide everything?” A chilly light shone in Zhan Lun Hui’s eyes. “Wu Yun, the Free and Natural Physique is a legendary thing of the past 10,000 years. We cannot afford to gamble on it! If he manages to mature, he will be a force that no one can control! Since we cannot use him, we must eradicate him!

“The future of the Misty Illusory Manor has to be grasped in our Zhan Family’s hands! Only that way can we access that secret in the main peak of the Misty Illusory Manor and open up the legendary path to heaven!”

Zhan Lun Hui raised his eyes and looked quietly at the faraway space, sighing lightly. “A matter that old ancestor, the Nine Nether First Young Master, can achieve. Is it something that us of the later generation cannot emulate? With the same techniques, can we really still not reach the fabled peak of cultivation?”

“Do we really have to destroy this Free and Natural Physique?” Zhan Wu Yun gasped with surprise. He’d never truly had this thought cross his mind. After all, the fact that the Free and Natural Physique prodigy could grow quickly was not considered a bad thing for the Misty Illusory Manor.

Right now, the Zhan Family was primed to replace the Miao Family as the lord of the Misty Illusory Manor. The Free and Natural Physique prodigy was someone who belonged to the Misty Illusory Manor, so in the future, it would be no different to him belonging to the Zhan Family. It should be a good thing that he grows quickly. Why was there a need to destroy him?

Wasn’t that too much of a waste of a heavenly treasure?!

“You still don’t understand? In that case, you’ve really disappointed me! A disobedient and uncontrollable person, no matter how talented, or how much potential they have, must be quickly eradicated! For the sake of power, even family can turn on each other. Have you not seen enough of them? Moreover, this concerns the control over the entire Misty Illusory Manor! You wish to be the Misty Illusory Manor’s Manor Lord, but do you think that others don’t have the same ambition?”
