Chapter 1152  : Did You All Take Me for a Fool

“I vaguely sensed that something was amiss, but I did not know what was wrong. Due to the limits of the skills that the three Holy Lands practices, it takes a large amount of energy to enter the Nine Illusory Quicksand Nirvana Formation. For the sake of confirming the situation, I couldn’t care so much. Seeing that huge boulders were falling from the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, I went in to check. Only to find out that there was no more Nine Illusory Quicksand in the Nine Illusory Quicksand Nirvana Formation! The formation had completely ceased! The moment it came to a halt, it was the same as announcing to the world that the seal on Pillar of Heavens Mountains no longer existed...”

Gu Han’s eyes and turned completely red at this point. Je was on the verge of tears.

As an old man who had lived for a long time, to show this sort of emotions, it was visible that his mind is completely agitated! This was the extreme collapse of one’s belief of his entire life ah!

Jun Mo Xie sighed internally. No wonder Gu Han seemed a little weak in the battle this time, unlike the previous time I saw him. So this was the reason: he had already used up too much of his powers in the Nine Illusory Quicksand Nirvana Formation...

“I immediately came out and questioned Zhan Kuang, Where did all the Nine Illusory Quicksand go?” A frighteningly sinister look filled Gu Han’s eyes. “And at that time, Zhan Kuang was on Mount Heaven Saint, plundering all our spirit herbs! This person’s insatiable greed truly raise people’s hackles!”

Jun Mo Xie was also stumped. You’ve committed such a grave crime, instead of quickly fleeing, you did not forget to take more advantage. This is too... conceited... right? But he didn’t know that it was not that Zhan Kuang did not wish to go, he wanted to leave more than anyone else, but he just had to discover the Immortal Soul Herb that was planted on Mount Heaven Saint! He couldn’t completely fuse with his body as his soul was too powerful for the body to contain, and this Immortal Soul Herb is the treasure that completely gets rid of this problem!

As long as he can consecutively use the Immortal Soul Herb for a month, twice a day, three strands each time, he could truly return to the complete strength of Zhan Kuang when he was at his peak, with no negative side effects.

So Zhan Kuang was really left without a choice.

He could have just bid his farewell and vanished without a trace, no one able to find him. Even after they found him after, they still could not do anything about him. But because of those Immortal Soul Herb, he lingered behind.

And Zhan Kuang was well aware, from the looks of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, it was going to collapse soon; the three Holy Lands, Heaven Saint Palace will be wiped out. The moment it came crashing down, these Immortal Soul Herb would be gone. If he missed this opportunity, his dream of recovering his strength would have to wait till god knows how long...

So Zhan Kuang was also very depressed and had to make a difficult decision.

Just as he was collecting the Immortal Soul Herb in a frenzy, Gu Han suddenly appeared to call him to account. Zhan Kuang naturally was unwilling to hand the Nine Illusory Quicksand that he had already gotten out again. So both parties couldn’t come to an agreement and was about to fight.

But just at that moment, the Pillar of Heavens Mountains suddenly collapsed!

Gu Han was naturally enraged and on the verge of going mad, and Zhan Kuang, because of Gu Han’s interception, only collected half of the required amount of Immortal Soul Herb. So he was also furious!

Both parties began to fight, the experts from Heaven Saint Palace slowly joined in the battle, right under the collapsing Pillar of Heavens Mountains, they engaged in a fierce battle.

Just as they fought, suddenly, all the volcanoes also began to erupt.

This was truly a case of blessings that never came in pairs, misfortune does not come singly!

Both parties were peak experts—they fought as they retreated—giving pursuit the entire way. The experts from three Holy Lands intended to catch Zhan Lun Hui even if it cost them their life, to snatch the Nine Illusory Quicksand back. And Zhan Lun Hui never regarded them from the start. Besides, he was also fearful that if any of those experts self-destructed on himself, even though his current body was tough, it would still sustain injuries.

Thus, he continued to battle along, afraid to completely crush the hopes of those from Heaven Saint Palace. Plus there were newly erupted volcanoes all around, no expert could have no qualms in face of the might of nature. Just like this, they fought and ran, just when Zhan Lun Hui thought he could already escape and not worry about the threat from the opponent self-destructing, Young Master Jun appeared at this point in time, and presented the most shocking gift, bringing this surprise, from the start all the way till the curtains fall!

In this way, both parties truly had poor luck!

“I still cannot understand, why did Zhan Lun Hui have to be this ruthless this time! Taking all of the Nine Illusory Quicksand at one go! Every time the Misty Illusory Manor comes to retrieve the Nine Illusory Quicksand, the Holy Land never obstructed them and never made it difficult for them! Every time they come, they’re the distinguished guests of Heaven Saint Palace! Could it be because one thousand years of peace is too short? They can just come to retrieve it, so why must they be this merciless!” One elder said, stroking his beard.

“This is a very simple question. Because Zhan Lun Hui wants the Zhan Family to monopolize the Misty Illusory Manor! If he leaves any Nine Illusory Quicksand behind, the Zhan Family will never be able to do that! He is cutting off the hopes of the Miao Family directly. As long as the Nine Illusory Quicksand is all in his hands, then as long as the Miao Family, as well as the other families wishes for the Misty Illusory Manor to continue existing, they will have to lower their heads to the Zhan Family!” Jun Mo Xie said indifferently. “What Zhan Lun Hui wants is the Misty Illusory Manor! Nothing else!

“But when there is no more Nine Illusory Quicksand, the Nirvana Formation will not be able to continue working, with the collapse of the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, all the members of the strange races will be able to invade, and the ones that will suffer will be the lives of the Xuan Xuan Continent! Zhan Kuang is also an expert of his generation, and his seniority is incomparable. Could it be that the lives of the world cannot compare to the position of dominating the Misty Illusory Manor in his eyes?” That elder said in anguish. “This bastard is inhuman!”

“Precisely because he is an expert of his generation, an invincible expert! So all the lives of the world is merely ants in his eyes! And why would he bother about whether a bunch of ants lives or dies? The safety of the continent is merely a fart in Zhan Kuang’s eyes! Or perhaps, not even a fart!” Gu Han growled furiously.

Jun Mo Xie finally understood the cause and effect of this matter, but he couldn’t help but sigh.

For the sake of these Nine Illusory Quicksand, Zhan Lun Hui subjected and left the entire Continent at the mercy of the strange races!

He was worse than a beast!

This sort of action! How different was it from a traitor that sold his own country out!

Then, Jun Mo Xie remembered a question. “You said that Zhan Lun Hui brought away the Nine Illusory Quicksand, but we were all watching during that battle just now. Zhan Lun Hui was practically naked and even fell into the volcano, but from start to end, we did not see that Nine Illusory Quicksand, ah? The Nine Illusory Quicksand that is sufficient to last for a million years shouldn’t be a small amount, right?”

Gu Han laughed bitterly. “This is the bizarre thing about the Nine Illusory Quicksand. Before it is retrieved, the Nine Illusory Quicksand is just individual grains of transparent sand. One single grain is several catties heavy. But once it is taken, it will have no mass and is stored in the soul. If this person does not die, then aside from himself, there is no second person who can take the Nine Illusory Quicksand out!”

“I see.” Jun Mo Xie nodded his head. “From the looks of it, Zhan Lun Hui is not dead yet! The Nine Illusory Quicksand is still in his hands. This matter might be a little troublesome.”

“Zhan Lun Hui is not dead?!” Though everyone had witnessed Zhan Lun Hui leaping out from the volcano, but they were all hoping that it would not be that luck. He was already charred by the lava to that state, so how could he still survive?

This was also human nature to think positively first. And Zhan Lun Hui was still alive... the severity of the matter was so grave that it had gone beyond all their expectations!

“His body has died, but his soul remains.” Jun Mo Xie nodded.

“Then isn’t that more troublesome?” Everyone were experts, they naturally knew the problem with this. Zhan Lun Hui went from having a form to formless. If he grew stronger when they were not paying attention, there will be great bloodshed!

Instantly, everyone’s hearts turned heavy.

“Let’s not talk about this matter first. The priority right now is still the battle with the strange races. I want to know how much force the three Holy Lands still have.” Jun Mo Xie rubbed his temples and asked. Even his heart was thumping when he asked this question and there was a little bit of doubt.

Looking at the situation... if the three Holy Lands could come up with six thousand people, Jun Mo Xie would be thank the heavens already.

“Those that are alive are not more than three thousand!” Gu Han closed his eyes as tears flowed out, raising his head to face the sky. “But there are definitely no more than one thousand who can join the battle! The establishment of ten thousand years, the beautiful landscape of the Xuan Xuan Continent will be ruined in our hands! This old man... is guilty ah!”

“What?! The f*ck!” Young Master Jun cursed out from shock! He had already thought of the worst possible situation, but he did not imagine that it would be this dire!

A battle force that is less than one thousand man... what can it do?

Facing the entire clan of strange races, this little amount of men didn’t even have the right to be cannon fodder!

This was definitely not like the War for Seizing the Heavens in the past! It was merely a battle of prowess last time. But this time, they’re trying to stop an invasion!

Gu Han’s eyes remained shut as he said solemnly. “Manor Lord Jun, this time... the lives of the world are relying on the Evil Monarch Manor and Tian Fa Forest!”

Jun Mo Xie instantly felt his head throbbing. He asked weakly, “Then... according to your estimation, how many people does the strange races have?”

“The climate is extremely harsh on the Pillar of Heavens Mountains. It is definitely not a place for normal people to live. The living conditions are extremely harsh. There shouldn’t be many of the strange races.” Gu Han said.

Jun Mo Xie let out a soft sigh of relief. “Then, how many will there be?”

Good that there is not many of them. If they come swarming over like locusts, with my few ten thousands of men, it is useless.

“It will not go beyond... a million... at most.” Gu Han lowered his head, not bearing to look at Jun Mo Xie’s expression.

“I...” Jun Mo Xie was flabbergasted. His mouth turned into an ‘O’ shape. After a long while, he only uttered a single word: “... F*ck!”

He suddenly jumped up in anger! Stomping and cursing. “F*ck! Isn’t this fraud?! I’m really f*cked! If a million is not considered many, then what is considered many? Ah?! Not many... If its not many why don’t your three Holy Lands go and fight them back? The f*ck! Telling this daddy to go and fight a million people with a few thousand men? Xid you really think this daddy is a God...”

Jun Mo Xie was really agitated right now. “Did you all take this daddy as a fool?!”
