“You’re still trying to deny it? As long as you have no intention of eating your words, what would you have to fear from my ‘ominous’ request?! Moreover, are my conditions really too difficult? I’ve directly listed my conditions for all to see, but your conditions were that I have to fulfill three unknown requests of yours without even being able to reject them! All of us here are clever people. Ask around, whose conditions are more difficult!? What did that second brother of yours say just now? Didn’t he swear in the name of the Zhan Family that if I backed out of this challenge, there will not be a place for me, Mo Jun Ye, in the Misty Illusory Manor in the future? If you want to talk about being overbearing, who is more overbearing?!” Jun Mo Xie snorted and pushed further.
“I... that wasn’t what I meant, I was afraid that Brother Mo wouldn’t accept the challenge and spoke too quickly. The Zhan Family has elders and numerous seniors, so what qualifications do I have to represent them... there’s definitely no intention to coerce Brother Mo. In any case, today’s challenge does not only concern my Zhan Family, and instead concerns the future of the entire Misty Illusory Manor’s young generation! Even if Brother Mo wants to dodge this challenge, it is a futile attempt. There’s no need to behave like a base man!” Zhan Yu Shu was quite quick-witted as well, changing his words instantly.
“Base man? I’m sure everyone here can clearly see for themselves who the base man is around here! I will say it again. As long as you can agree to my conditions, the competition will start immediately. It’s still the same words; the decision lies in the hands of you brothers. But I can understand as well... the reason you are hesitating so much must be because you know that you do not have sufficient ability. At least, it seems you still have a clear estimation of your own limitations...”
Jun Mo Xie laughed coldly and scoffed. “I knew that the two of you were just minor characters in the Zhan Family, and you wouldn’t admit it, continuing to boast so proudly about the awesomeness of your Zhan Family... Now, look... the two of you proud Young Masters can’t even dare to promise a mere entry slot to a garden... To think that you guys even have the guts to threaten and coerce others while tooting your own horns so proudly, with spit flying out of your mouths! I truly wonder how many of the things you promised others in the past have been fulfilled! How laughable...”
At this time, Young Master Jun could be said to be completely merciless as he grabbed ahold of a single point and forced his opponents to death. Using an exceedingly scathing and disdainful gaze, he stared at those two as if he were looking at two poor beggars who were so skinny that even if their faces were slapped swollen, they wouldn’t look fat. “In that case, what conditions do you two brothers still want to raise with me? Are you qualified to do so? The two of you want to talk about conditions in front of a peerless genius with the Free and Natural Physique. Could it be that you don’t feel any shame? Are you dreaming of taking advantage of this prodigy? How laughable! Toads lusting after a swan’s flesh! HAHAHAHA. PUI! PUI PUI PUI PUI....”
Young Master Jun spat freely and laughed in a wild manner. In an instant, the Zhan Family two brothers was scolded speechless as their ears turned red and their tongues grew soft!
The situation now was already very obvious. They’ve brought up very tough conditions, and the other party had accepted them! But when the other party proposed similarly tough conditions, they didn’t dare to accept! Or rather, they didn’t have enough qualifications to accept... Since you didn’t have enough qualifications to accept the other party’s condition... wouldn’t it be a joke to raise a challenge to the other party and even add multiple very tough conditions? This was truly the embodiment of the phrase “lewd toads lusting after a swan’s flesh”, an exceedingly shameless act...
Opposite the Drifting Fragrance Hall, in another inn, two white haired old man sat across a table as they gazed out of the window. A stick of incense burned lightly in the room, releasing a swirl of green smoke. Compared to the bustling inn across them, this place was serene and quiet!
“This kid with the Free and Natural Physique is indeed not a simple character. I’m afraid Yu Shu and Qing Feng are not going to have a good time in his hands...” One of the old men said lightly with a calm expression.
“In these years, things have indeed been going a little too smoothly for those two brothers, and they inevitably ended up thinking too highly of themselves. Today is also quite a good chance for them to temper themselves.” The other old man replied with a gentle nod.
“But those conditions... what do you think? Do we agree or not?” The first old man said as he stared carefully at Mo Jun Ye’s plain face. In that moment, this plain looking face was spitting and scolding the two Zhan Family juniors vehemently, using all kinds of ear-jarring language. The two Zhan Family juniors’ faces were turning green and white, completely unable to retaliate...
“There’s actually no harm in accepting those conditions.” The other old man said, closing his eyes lightly. “The reason Yu Shu and Qing Feng did not dare to agree is because the implications of this matter are too large, and they don’t have the authority to make such a decision. Thus, they can’t accept the conditions. One must know, this thing called authority is something that has the power to decide a person’s boldness of vision!”
“But if we look from another angle, it’s not a big deal even if we accept those conditions. As for what that Mo Jun Ye said, as long as they win, what does it matter even if the oath is more cruel? Moreover, that brat actually has no hopes of victory at all!”
The old continued, croaking in a hoarse voice. “So even if they swear an oath right now, what would it matter? When victory and defeat is determined in a moment, who would remember this matter? Even if someone recalled it, they would only praise Yu Shu and Qing Feng as people with guts... to even be able to accept this kind of condition! To the two of them, it’s instead a good thing.”
“But what if we lose?” The other old man said hesitantly. “All things are possible.”
“There’s no possibility of us losing!” The old man opened his eyes and scoffed as a hint of expression finally appeared on his face. His lips curved upwards, revealing a disdainful smile. “Besides, even if we really lose somehow, it’s still just a single slot to enter the Spiritual Herbal Gardens. Our Zhan Family may not necessarily be unable to obtain it! So what if we let him inside once? Even if he’s fortunate and somehow obtains the acknowledgement of the Holy Tree, it would just be the Miao Family’s loss. As for our Zhan Family, it’s also a good thing, because the Miao Family will then end up on the opposite side of that kid!
“Even if that kid is determined to oppose us in the future... he wouldn’t be able to pose any real threat to us within at least three to five hundred years! In that time, if there are any issues, wouldn’t it still be a simple matter for our Zhan Family to get rid of him?
“Our most important target now is just the Misty Illusory Manor, not the Free and Natural Physique kid! We need to be clear about this point. If we can’t distinguish between the two, what is there to talk about any great matter?”
“Yes! Elder’s words are right.” The two old men did not look much different in age, but the latter’s attitude was much more respectful, as though it was a junior in front of a senior...
“However, this Free and Natural Physique kid is not as simple as a cultivation prodigy! This person must be controlled heavily!” The old man nodded and closed his eyes again after finishing his words.
The other old man’s face grew serious as he moved his lips, sending a vice transmission to Zhan Qing Feng.
“Fine! We accept this condition!” On the other side, Zhan Qing Feng suddenly stood up roared with gritted teeth, his face twisted with determination as if he’d been pushed too far beyond his endurance. “I assume there’s two more conditions? Say them out together! If you continue dragging the time, it would only make us look down on you more!”
At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. So it turns out that the old ancestor is here... then, today’s matter should be fine. However, he also felt somewhat uneasy internally. I wonder if old ancestor will feel disappointed at my performance just now?
“Great guts!” Jun Mo Xie clapped his hands and laughed. “As for the second condition, it’s actually nothing large as well. It’s a much simpler... if I win, the two of you need to kowtow sincerely to me and call me ‘Grandpa’ 10 times!”
“YOU!” Zhan Yu Shu’s eyes turned completely red as he trembled. “What kind of condition is that? Although your cultivation is not high, with just your Free and Natural Physique, you can also be considered to be a person of the Misty Illusory Manor with high standing! How could you mention such a despicable request?”
“We accept!” Zhan Qing Feng interrupted Zhan Yu Shu as he stared vehemently at Jun Mo Xie, growling, “As long as you can win!” Although this condition was even more humiliating, it was not something that was difficult to fulfill. Naturally, they must accept!
“Good! The third condition is also very simple. Following your example, if I win, I can also reserve the right to request one thing of your Zhan Family. No matter what the request is, you have to fulfill it at all costs! It’s impossible to reject! Also, this request does not have a time limit. I will mention it to you at the time that I determine; before that, if I don’t want to say it, even if you beg me, I will not bring it up!”
Jun Mo Xie laid out everything in a straightforward manner. These three conditions could be said to be exceedingly tough. But in terms of simplicity, it could also be quite simple.
“This condition is impossible. You are just a single person with little cares in this world, whereas our Zhan Family has countless implications. If you requested for our entire Zhan Family to kill ourselves, could it be that we have to listen to you and do it?” Zhan Yu Shu rolled his eyes and said.
“You guys are so greedy of life and cowardly in the face of death; even if I raised such a request, it would be useless.” Jun Mo Xie shook his head and scoffed. “Do I look like such a dumb person?”
You don’t just look like, you ARE dumb! The two brothers practically cursed in their hearts at the same time!
The conditions were all settled, and the only thing remaining was the witnesses. Naturally, the witnesses were also all present. Of the eight great families in the Misty Illusory Manor, six of the younger generation successors were present. In addition to Miao Xiao Miao, the seven witnesses were formed!
The cultivation level of these seven were all not ordinary. All of them had reached the Supreme realm, or Superior Supreme. Although to true experts, this kind of cultivation was barely passable, but for their ages, it was already extremely high!
In addition to the powerful factions behind them, all of them were legitimately powerful witnesses!
In order to guarantee fairness, in case the Zhan Family had already bought over the other witnesses, Miao Xiao Miao invited another 10 people who stood at the peak of their respective crafts as witnesses!
In the end, there were 17 witnesses with great influence overseeing this competition!
“Kekeke...” Zhan Yu Shu looked at Jun Mo Xie and chuckled proudly a few times.
“Hehehe...” Jun Mo Xie also looked at the two Zhan Family brothers and scoffed evilly a few times.
Both sides felt that they had absolute confidence in victory and were laughing proudly to themselves.
In that moment, everyone in the crowd chattered with excitement. The good show was finally about to begin!
Following that, someone went to retrieve a set of paper and ink. The conditions of both sides were penned down personally by Miao Xiao Miao, her brush flowing gracefully like a phoenix. When she was done, Zhan Yu Shu and Zhan Qing Feng merely glanced impatiently at the paper and directly swore vicious oaths, before biting their thumbs and writing their names in blood, and leaving a bloody palm print as their signature.
Following that, when the Free and Natural Physique Young Master Mo did the same, a shockingly sharp and pressuring aura burst forth from the completed blood oath contract!
