Otherworldly Evil Monarch

“So those matters are what Jun Mo Xie had done in the past. So what about the current Evil Monarch?” Miao Xiao Miao asked.

“Although the current Jun Mo Xie no longer visits brothels… he’s still overbearing, evil, despicable, shameless, and acts like a hooligan. His words are filthy, and his actions carry no sense of a person from an aristocratic family…” Mo Wu Dao snorted. “However, this person is ruthless and decisive, arrogant and unyielding, audacious to the extreme, and exceedingly cruel and merciless…”

Miao Xiao Miao felt as if she had been struck by a bolt of lightning from the heavens. Looking at Miao Xiao Miao, she felt as if this Elusive World of Immortals’s Palace Lord had gone crazy! Was this really the same person that she saw yesterday? It couldn’t be an imposter right?

An ‘overbearing, evil, despicable, shameless hooligan with a foul mouth who lacked any sense of a person from an aristocratic family’ could actually be ‘ruthless and decisive, arrogant and unyielding, audacious to the extreme, and exceedingly cruel and merciless’?

Are you sleep talking?

“Seniors of the Misty Illusory Manor, Wu Dao naturally knows that my words are contradictory. However, Jun Mo Xie is just this kind of person.” Mo Wu Dao said helplessly. “That person is a living and walking contradiction, perfectly embodying all those extreme qualities… the number one weirdo under the heavens! This is something that all three of us had agreed on!”

After saying so much, even Miao Dao, Miao Jian, and the rest were looking at each other speechlessly, completely unable to say anything. All their guesses and expectations from earlier had fallen onto empty air.

Was this Jun Mo Xie really the same Mo Jun Ye who was described by the Manor Lord as a person of graceful and elegant bearings, well learned and diligent… soft hearted, honest and devoted? The more they listened, the more it didn’t seem likely? Those were two completely different extremes!

“Jun Mo Xie once used just his tongue to curse a Venerable level expert until the latter vomited blood…” Xi Ruo Chen said with an ugly expression. “That Venerable level expert was someone that hailed from our Supreme Golden City. If it weren’t for the sake of warning you, our friends from the Misty Illusory Manor, this Xi would not have told you such an embarrassing thing…”

Miao Xiao Miao was completely stumped, and her mouth dropped like a wooden chicken. Just how badly cursed was that Venerable expert, for a person with such an advanced age and cultivation to end up vomiting blood from it? What if he also starts to curse at me the moment he sees me?

Although she currently also had a Venerable level cultivation, her mental stability was surely far below those senior experts at the same level… In that case, how would she… Miao Xiao Miao didn’t dare to imagine further…

“He once framed the number one assassin of the Xuan Xuan Continent, Chu Qi Hun, so perfectly that our three Holy Lands ended up chasing the wrong target for nearly half a year. The losses we suffered from that were even more ridiculous…” Huyan Ao Bo shook his head repeatedly. The three Holy Lands had finally understood that they had been set up by Jun Mo Xie, and all of them felt exceedingly embarrassed.

“He once felled the entire snow capped peaks… and my brother died because of that…” Mo Wu Dao sighed heavily, his eyes filled with pain…

“He once…”

“…”

….

The more Miao Xiao Miao heard, the more her heart was shaken with fear. And soon, fear turned into numbness. There were simply too many shocking tales…

A hooligan, a sex fiend, a shameless bastard, a despicable and ruthless killer… this was the Evil Monarch that was currently as dazzling as the midday sun! Miao Xiao Miao finally arrived at such a conclusion in her heart…

This Jun Mo Xie is a person that deserves to be killed by a thousand blades!

No matter how amazing and talented a person like that was, how could he be compared with my Jun Ye given his rotten character?

He isn’t even worthy to carry the shoes of my Jun Ye! Miao Xiao Miao snorted lightly… All of a sudden, a pride rose in her heart. In this world, only my Jun Ye is the most perfect!

Honorable, kind, honest, well learned, reliable, magnanimous, courageous, utterly devoted and loyal to boot…

After that, while the rest continued to discuss about the Evil Monarch Manor’s opening ceremony, Miao Xiao Miao no longer had any interest in listening. Turning around, she dove into her tent. Looking at the bits of light streaming through the cracks of the tent, she could not help but to think about her Jun Ye again… Where are you right now? Do you miss me?

A moment later, a light shuffling sound rang out, and a beautiful figure came into view. An intoxicating fragrance filled the tent, rising into her nose…

Miao Xiao Miao turned around and saw Qiao Ying coming in dressed in a long white robe. With the sunlight behind her, she seemed like an ethereal fairy… The only thing was that this celestial fairy’s face had a slight crease on her brows…

“Ah, it’s Senior Qiao…” Miao Xiao Miao hurriedly greeted. To the people of the Misty Illusory Manor, Qiao Ying was a legendary character. Her fame was only below that of the Nine Nether Young Masters…

“En…” Qiao Ying nodded lightly. Looking at Miao Xiao Miao, her eyes turned gentle and warm as she reached out a hand to stroke her hair…

Miao Xiao Miao felt calmness in her heart as she smiled up at her. To her, Qiao Ying was like a dearest elder sister who’s taking care of her…

“It’s good to be young… Miss Miao, you need to grasp all the happiness in front of you with everything you have…” A hint of bitter smile appeared on the edge of Qiao Ying’s mouth. It seemed more like she was speaking to herself than to Miao Xiao Miao. A strange melancholy could be heard in her voice…

Seeing Miao Xiao Miao, she seemed to have seen herself in her youth… At that time, she had also been like her, filled with curiosity and hope for the unknown…

To have everlasting youth was something that all girls wished for even in their dreams!

But when she truly achieved it, she had to ask herself… just how long… had she lived in such lonesome solitude…

Was it worth it?

For a girl… was it really worth it?

Qiao Ying had never asked herself such a question; but this time, she had felt a sour feeling in her heart… when everyone was talking about Jun Mo Xie, she had felt somewhat unwilling. But she, who had been used to being by herself, chose to remain silent, only listening quietly…

“En… many thanks for Senior’s advice. I will grasp my happiness seriously.” Miao Xiao Miao smiled sweetly. After that, she asked curiously. “Qiao… Senior, have you met Jun Mo Xie before?”

“If you don’t disdain to do so, you can just call me Elder sister Qiao…” Qiao Ying saw that she the manner of addressing was a little awkward for both sides, and she smiled and said. So many years of loneliness had caused her to feel a great yearning for kinship…

“Jun Mo Xie… that youngster… I’ve actually met him before and quite a few times as well…” Qiao Ying said with a deep expression, as if she was reminiscing about something…

“Is he truly that kind of person?” Miao Xiao Miao asked.

“Perhaps… so…” Qiao Ying replied uncertainty. “I don’t know for sure myself… but from the few times I’ve interacted with him… Jun Mo Xie may be a bit of a… defiant person, treating all things indecorously and having a cynical attitude towards life, but he’s not necessarily… unpardonably wicked… also…”

As she spoke here, Qiao Ying paused.

“Also what?” Miao Xiao Miao asked.

“Also… I don’t know if it’s a misconception, but I seem to feel… that to us girls… Jun Mo Xie is a rather dependable man…” Qiao Ying said with a slight smile. “At least, he is a person who dares to do things and bear responsibility for them…”

“Oh…” Miao Xiao Miao was truly surprised. She hadn’t expected that she would hear a completely different answer; an answer that was in the other direct extreme this time!

“When we arrive at Tian Fa Forest, you will be able to see him with your own eyes. And at that time, you will be able to form your own impression of him. If you meet the girls around him… you might even understand more for yourself. The things that you hear from third parties should not be taken as the truth since they are not necessarily the whole truth.” Qiao Ying smiled lightly as she sat down slowly and hugged her knees.

Miao Xiao Miao also sat down beside her, not speaking for a long time…

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye!

And this day was exactly the Fifteenth day of the Sixth month!

Dawn!

As the first rays of light shone from the East,

All of a sudden—

The heavens and the earth from the direction of Tian Fa Forest shook!

It was as if all the mountains and rivers of the earth were collapsing at the same time!

As if all the volcanoes of the world had erupted at the same time!

In an instant, the heavens and earth lost their color!

A sudden loud sound rang out, and the people of the three Holy Lands and the Misty Illusory Manor who had been prepared to set out were instantly jolted, scrambling out of their tents as they looked towards the Southwest where the sound had come from.

At this time, they were only 200 li away from the Manor’s location. With their speed, it was something that would be covered in just two or so hours.

Far in the distance, a huge plume of mushroom cloud could be seen rising slowly into the sky, quickly filling the sky and covering the heavens!

Following that, the ground shook heavily, and some fist sized rocks directly sprang up, with some reaching a height of over a zhang !

The thousand li of dense forest seemed to have encountered a powerful gale that was unprecedented in history. At the same instant, all the trees were bent until their trunks were crooked. Countless thick branches snapped, and loud crackling sounds rang out through the forest as branches flew wildly through the air, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye! Some small trees were directly uprooted, spinning and smashing through the air!

And that gust directly carried all the debris hundreds of li away!

Such power and might had clearly exceeded the levels of knowledge of anyone in the world!

Only when that violent gale passed, did everything resume its calmness!

Everyone that had witnessed the scene could not help but stare dumbly at the people around them, their faces filled with shock and fear!

When they looked up again, that huge dark cloud above Tian Fa Forest had already disappeared without a trace! The sky was a deep and clear blue! That violent gale had clearly dismissed all the clouds in the sky!

Clear skies for ten thousand li !

Looking at this endless expanse of blue in front of their eyes, and the patch of forest that had turned bare in an instant, everyone felt a heavy feeling in their hearts!

Which of the people that came this time were not influential characters that could command the winds and clouds of the world? They had witnessed even the grand establishment ceremonies of large countries several times, but no one had ever seen anything like this before! Even before reaching the site, they could already feel their hearts palpitating with awe!

Gasping with shock, Miao Zhan, who had the deepest cultivation among the group, instantly raised his hand and roared: “Everyone, prepare to move out immediately! We must reach Tian Fa within two hours!”

————————

Two hours later, the crowd finally managed to rush to the site!

However, the scene before their eyes was so shocking that they didn’t dare believe their eyes!
