The spittle from Eagle Supreme almost coated Jun Da Gao Ren’s face: “Damn it, you brat, you sweet-talked this old man into staying at the Jun Residence, and it turns out there was such a massive trap hidden inside! It’s a case of the Snow-Wind Silver City first, and then the Blood Soul Villa!” “You scoundrel, can this old skeleton of mine handle something this huge? Why didn't you tell me earlier?”
“Tell you earlier?” Young Master Jun blinked, a smirk playing on his lips: “If I had told you earlier, you probably would have already arrived at the grasslands and wouldn't be here helping me now, would you? Do you really take me for a fool?”
“You…” Eagle Supreme was utterly dejected. That’s right, this brat wasn't foolish; he was shrewd to the extreme. It was the old man who was the fool!
If he hadn’t witnessed the Jun Da Gao Ren’s Eagle Form Art back then, if he had known about the trap involved, Grand Supreme Eagle wouldn't have needed to weigh the options; he would have left without hesitation. But having now witnessed that move, which could be called peerless in this world, even knowing he would have to confront two other Supremes, Grand Supreme Eagle was unwilling to back down.
What a joke. Such an opportunity doesn’t come along often! Not to mention, this brat had an unrivaled master behind him!
Even though he knew the other party was telling the truth, he still felt deeply uncomfortable. Who wouldn't feel it when they’ve been exploited to this extent by a junior? Although the gains were substantial, still...
Moreover, the way this ghost speaks is too direct! It truly infuriates this old man!
“Say, when will that master of yours arrive here?” Eagle Bokong inquired. “This old man needs to discuss the matters of the Snow-Wind Silver City and the Blood Soul Villa with him.”
Telling tales to a ghost! If that "master" truly showed up, Eagle Supreme would likely cast aside the Snow-Wind Silver City and the Blood Soul Villa from his mind!
“My master?” Jun Moxie blinked his eyes: “The venerable elder travels the world, free and unfettered, his whereabouts unknown, never showing his head or tail. How would I know when he will arrive? He always seeks me out; I have no idle time to chase after him!”
“Does this mean this old man has to carry this burden alone?” Eagle Bokong’s eyes widened immediately; he felt a chill from head to toe.
“How could it be you alone?” Jun Moxie opened his eyes in bewilderment.
Eagle Bokong’s heart leaped with joy: “Who else? Didn't you mention your third uncle and your grandfather? While their strength isn't weak, they are still hard-pressed to intervene in the Divine Xuan struggle. Is it your master's friend, what is his capability?!”
“What are you thinking about? I meant, isn't there me?” Jun Moxie pointed to his own chest, his expression one of taking responsibility without yielding an inch. “I will fight alongside you!”
“You brat are nothing but a fart!” Eagle Bokong flared up: “A fart at least makes a sound and has some odor; you are less than that. Someone could blow and kill you, brat! The Snow-Wind Silver City and the Blood Soul Villa each possess more than ten Supreme Divine Xuan experts. This old man, with two fists, cannot fight four hands. I can handle perhaps three or two, or at most four or five. But what about the rest? How can we protect your Jun Family?”
“We just do our best!” Jun Moxie rested his chin on his hand, speaking with deep seriousness.
“I, I’ll curse your ancestors!” Eagle Bokong exploded, vulgarity tumbling out uncontrollably. “Do your best? Where is your strength? Truly utterly preposterous!” Supreme Eagle felt the urge to run in circles.
“Don't worry,” Jun Moxie comfortingly drawled, completely at ease. “The boat will straighten itself out when it reaches the bridge; the road will appear when the cart reaches the mountain.” “Why are you so anxious?”
“What if it doesn't straighten? What if there is no road?” Eagle Bokong glared, wanting to swallow the young man whole. He had truly never met such a brazenly indifferent person!
“Then we’ll crash through it!” Young Master Jun’s single sentence nearly caused Eagle Supreme to pass out from anger.
“Nonsense! Can you even crash through?” Eagle Bokong bristled, his anger mounting. Facing such a slack-jawed fellow was like a dog biting a porcupine—there was no purchase, and he only ended up infuriating himself to the point of collapse…
“I certainly can’t crash through it, but isn’t there you?” Jun Moxie listlessly rolled his eyelids. “No matter what, you are one of the Eight Great Supremes. Even if the sky falls, you are relatively tall. With a light lift of your hand, you can hold it up. I believe as long as you exert your full force and crash into them, you can at least knock them off balance. Even if you can’t achieve mutual destruction, you can certainly injure their foundations! You crash into them first, then I'll come up to patch any holes—won't we gain an advantage then?”
Eagle Bokong was choked with rage!
He suddenly realized something: waiting around for this brat was, in fact, a huge mistake!
This fellow was actually planning to use him as cannon fodder first, while he himself reaped the benefits by muddling through the chaos…
How could there be such a despicable and shameless person in this world? Once one reaches a certain level, one truly sees everything! I’ve truly had my eyes opened today!
“Has that brat of yours researched the Snow-Wind Silver City at all?” Eagle Supreme asked indignantly, standing up as if to leave. Being with this brat was pure self-torment! But before leaving, he still wanted to deliver a warning: “Do you know about the Blood Soul Villa? Even if you do, how much do you know? You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, spouting nonsense! Brat, you’ll die one day and won't even know how!”
With that, Supreme Eagle intended to leave—though, of course, he only planned to go to Third Master Jun’s small courtyard to rest, as he hadn't fully learned the Grand Supreme’s peerless techniques yet. Before mastering them, even if the other party drove him away...
But this time, it was Young Master Jun who became unhappy.
Earlier, seeing Eagle Bokong looking so aggressive, Young Master Jun was displeased and hadn't given him a good reception. But now, hearing the tone of Eagle Bokong’s words, it seemed this Supreme knew quite a bit of inside information—valuable material! His spirit suddenly lifted, and he wanted to pry out more intelligence.
“How could I not know? But no matter how formidable the Snow-Wind Silver City and the Blood Soul Villa are, can they compare to you, a genuine member of the Eight Great Supremes? What a joke!”
The compliment Young Master Jun delivered was seamless, his face full of sincere earnestness: “So don’t think that just because I seem completely unconcerned and heartless, I am. In reality, anyone would feel the same way. Think about it, if the Grand Supreme Eagle, one of the Eight Great Supremes, is guarding our home, what do I need to fear in this world? Haha, we are genuinely full of confidence!”
Eagle Bokong’s steps, which were about to move forward, rooted themselves in place. He suddenly understood: I was wondering why this brat was so calm and composed, it turns out I gave him this false impression; however, what he said does have some logic to it. With a member of the Eight Great Supremes holding the fort, there is indeed no need to be afraid?
The burden of great reputation!
Supreme Eagle sighed inwardly.
Under the influence of his supreme reputation, this brat gained such great confidence. No wonder he's jumping around now, unafraid of anything, even daring to talk back to the Supreme of the Snow-Wind Silver City to his face!
However, maintaining this mindset for too long is absolutely inadvisable.
Supreme Eagle pondered with heartfelt sincerity. He suddenly realized that if the Jun Family became completely lax because he was guarding the residence, and if the Silver City or the Blood Soul Villa launched a massive assault, wouldn't that... actually harm the Jun Family?
There was no choice. This Supreme’s fame was just too resounding.
“Jun brat, although I am one of the Eight Great Supremes, I am still only one person. Man’s strength has its limits.” Supreme Eagle’s tone softened considerably, preparing to enlighten this utterly confused little lost lamb. While his voice carried a tone of lament, he did not conceal the self-assured arrogance in his manner one bit. It was clear that Young Master Jun’s flattery had achieved quite an effect.
“I have actually considered this point,” Jun Moxie replied honestly and sincerely: “Look, although both the Snow-Wind Silver City and the Blood Soul Villa have a Supreme guarding them, those two Supremes surely wouldn't stoop to personally handling matters against my Jun Family, would they? As long as the Snow-Wind Supreme and the Jue Tian Supreme do not act, and aside from these two, are there any others in those two places that you, Supreme Eagle, could not handle? I believe there aren't any.”
Eagle Bokong felt a surge of elation, nodding with a smile. “That makes sense. Apart from Han Fengxue and Li Juetian, the rest of the Snow-Wind Silver City and the Blood Soul Villa forces, hehe... in my eyes, are nothing more than worthless chickens and dogs. Even those in the Divine Xuan realm are no exception; they are utterly vulnerable.”
Jun Moxie’s mouth twitched. This old rogue—give him an inch and he flies to the heavens, getting lost in his intoxication…
But is this the time for you to be intoxicated? We must absolutely not become overly careless! This is a matter concerning life and death! So, he quickly reminded him.
“Yes, then what do we need to fear? Even if they all gather and charge over at once, as long as you are here, it will be like Mount Tai crushing down! You are the stabilizing pillar of our Jun Family, the mainstay holding the torrent! Or perhaps we can even seize the opportunity to crush them in one go. As long as you make a move, it will surely be like smashing an egg with a stone, or a three-thousand-jin hammer swatting a mosquito—effortless, achieved without any strain.”
“No, no, that won’t do.” Although Eagle Supreme was arrogant and unrestrained, he wasn't so conceited as to confront all the experts of the Snow-Wind Silver City and the Blood Soul Villa—excluding their two Supremes—by himself. “The remaining strength is still not to be underestimated. By my own power alone, it would still be quite difficult.”
Difficult? Wouldn't it be outright impossible to match them?
Young Master Jun almost vomited but forced himself to maintain a look of pure, innocent smile: “I think you absolutely can! Just like today, when you made your move, the situation immediately calmed down. You solved one Divine Xuan expert with just one move and a half. If you just make another three or five moves like that, wouldn't everything be settled?”
Eagle Bokong’s heroic spirit ignited, his demeanor soaring. He rose, hands clasped behind his back, pacing slowly, his eyes focused, his face grave and solemn. He said slowly: “Don't speak nonsense. We must never—never underestimate the enemy!”
It’s over... This old rogue has been flattered by me into ascending so high that he won't come down! Young Master Jun was somewhat dumbfounded. I’ve already said that, and you still won't take the hint to step down and tell me more about the specifics of the larger factions? Instead, you are indulging in this intoxication endlessly... Supreme Lord, while you are indeed a generation's Supreme, even a person should have some sense of propriety!
“Uh, actually, I just don't quite understand something. Among the Xuan Qi ranks, above Earthly Xuan is Heavenly Xuan, and above Heavenly Xuan is the Supreme Divine Xuan realm. The Supreme Divine Xuan realm is supposedly the highest stage of Xuan Qi, but the Eight Great Supremes are ranked above ordinary Divine Xuan experts. For instance, that Sixth Elder of the Silver City, isn't he a Divine Xuan expert? Yet you defeated him with a mere gesture. The difference in level truly leaves me bewildered. Is there something special about this realm? I really don't know the details?” (To be continued)
