<h4>Chapter 1262: Frenzy!</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios
At such a time, Gu Han was dead, and the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master had also suddenly gone crazy, insisting on remaining at the Pir of Heavens Mountains...
<i>Wouldn’t that mean that only I am left to fight Zhan Kuang?</i>
<i>With the three of us joining hands, we couldn’t even kill that perverse fellow. By myself, what can I do?</i>
Proceeding further, the army could already see the nearest viges. But for some reason, they suddenly stopped. Then, someone from the front rushed down on a horse, seemingly extremely urgently. They’d either discovered something or met with something unexpected...
Jun Moxie and Mei Xueyan exchanged a nce, somewhat confused. After not having making contact with the outside world for a long time, discovering the dwelling ce of other people was undoubtedly a happy thing. But it wasn’t anything to be surprised by. For the entire army to stop like this, there must be a big incident in front. But what could possibly halt an armyprised of over 100,000 Venerable level experts of Tian Fa warriors and the Evil Monarch Manor’s troops? It couldn’t be a robbery attempt by some bandits, right?
If there was really someone blocking the road to rob them... it would be too funny!
Perhaps the world had gone crazy these few days? Which blind person was so brave as to block the strongest army in the current world! Even the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master could not block this army with just his own strength. Perhaps if the Nine Nether First Young Master came back to the Xuan Xuan Continent, he would be able to do that!
In a short time, the rider had already arrived before them.
“Manor Lord, there’s a strange situation with the vige in front. The entire vige of over a hundredmoners, are confirmed to be all dead. Their deaths are all exactly in the same fashion; all of them had been turned into dry corpses!” The rider’s forehead was slick with sweat. Clearly, the incident at the front caused him to feel a great amount of fear!
<i>Dried corpses?</i>
Jun Moxie furrowed his brows. The first thought that came into his mind was none other than Zhan Kuang!
The Zhan Kuang who’d lost his physical body was far beneath Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master in strength. Compared to Gu Han, he was evencking a bit. But that strange regenerative ability and the power to siphon life from living creatures was extremely horrifying. If it was really...
With that thought, Jun Moxie’s shoulders shook and he rose into the sky. Hearing that something was off, Mei Xueyan also followed closely behind him. Like a pair of shooting stars, they flew towards the little vige. But with a single look, the both of them instantly exploded with rage!
There were only a mere 20, 30 small families in this vige.
But right now, there wasn’t a single living aura in here anymore.
Bodies were syed all over in their respective courtyards, or on the streets of the vige...
Landing on the ground, Jun Moxie flipped one of the corpses over. As he did so, his pupils shrunk. This body waspletely dried out, as though there wasn’t a single drop of liquid in it.
Based on what Jun Moxie had learnt before in his previous life on Earth, a human’s body consisted of over 70 percent water. But this corpse before him had shrunk to a mere one third of its original size, looking like a mummy! This was apletely dried out corpse!
When he checked the other corpses, it was the same situation!
Whether it was the elderly, the children, or the young! Everyone had died in the same way. Although their facial muscles had already dried out, their faces could be observed as being very peaceful. It was as if they hadn’t seen anything and had just fallen asleep!
“What cruelty! Even the little children were not spared!” Mei Xueyan looked at the corpse of a little girl in front of her and said with gritted teeth.
“From the dposition rate of the body and the marks on the body, this should have happened about half a month ago, or longer. Due to theck of moisture in the bodies, there are already signs of corrosion by the winds. But fortunately, because the water had beenpletely drained out, their bodies were able to be preserved until we came.” Jun Moxie stood straight and said with a heavy expression. “There’s no question about it; it must be him! Only Zhan Kuang is capable of such a thing! And only he is as crazy as this!”
These people’s blood and life essence had beenpletely sucked dry, and there didn’t seem to be any other wounds from the outside. Thinking back to how the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master had described Zhan Kuang feeding on wild beasts’ corpses before, Jun Moxie did not even need to consider before arriving at his conclusion!
“Zhan Kuang? Him? How could it... isn’t he...” Mei Xueyan widened her eyes, unable to believe this!
“It’s that same Zhan Lunhui whom we’ve pushed into the volcano before!” Jun Moxie sucked in a deep breath and sighed with a troubled look. “He was already difficult to deal with because of his indestructible body. Now, he’d even feasted on so much blood and flesh.. there’s no doubt that it’ll be even more difficult to deal with him...”
“We have to deal with him even if it’s difficult to deal with him. No matter what price must be paid, this kind of evil demon cannot be allowed to live in this world and harm people!” Mei Xueyan gritted her teeth hatefully. “We must destroy that fellow thoroughly and return peace to thisnd!”
“That is natural.” Jun Moxie smiled and waved his hands, instructing a few men to bury the bodies.
The grand army proceeded in a solemn mood; along the way, numerous reports continuously flowed in.
Along the way, they passed through more than 50 viges, but every single one of them was like a death camp! Whether it was man or beast, everybody had been turned into pieces of dried corpses! Counting so far, the number of corpses they’d collected had already reached over 7,000!
And this was just the number of humans. If the animals were counted in, it would be close to 20,000!
The fire in Jun Moxie’s eyes also grew more and more dangerous!
<i>Zhan Kuang, to actually go on a frenzy like this; have you lost your mind?!</i>
<i>If you only feed on Xuan cultivators, then although it is still cruel, it’s still considered understandable. After all, their existence is a threat to you. But now, you are killingmoners who arepletely innocent and helpless to fight back!</i>
There was clearly only one reason for Zhan Kuang’s actions. That was, he was trying to absorbrge amounts of lifeforce to restore and improve his body!
<i>Such vile acts cannot be condoned!</i>
<i>Zhan Kuang, even death is not enough to absolve your crimes!</i>
The grand army gradually drew near to Tian Nan City. This ce was considered to be quite packed normally, but now, it’d be the site of anotherrge-scale massacre! Over 5,000moners had been killed in terrible ways!
Jun Moxie and the others had been growing more and more furious as they walked. When they reached this ce, the umted anger had already reached a point of explosion!
Fortunately, when they moved further forward, there were no more of these tragic scenes.
Jun Moxie had been spreading his spiritual sense out all the way while they travelled. At night, he’d even moved tens of thousands of <i>li</i> in all directions, searching for Zhan Kuang’s tracks. However, nothing could be found at all. Such a situation caused him to grow increasingly frustrated...
The earlier they could kill that monster, the more helpful it would be to themon people. Any dys would result in a tragedy no less than the Outsiders!
Only a few dozen days had passed since that huge battle with Zhan Kuang. But over 30,000 people had already fallen into harm. This kind of cruelty and horrifying ughtering waspletely unprecedented!
After nearly a month-long journey, the main army finally returned to the Tian Nan camp!
Dugu Xiaoyi, Guan Qinghan, and the rest had waited until their eyes were red. Finally seeing Jun Moxie and the others return, they ran out excitedly to receive them.
But when they saw the unprecedentedly ugly look on Jun Moxie’s face, they could not help but to find it be startled. The Outsiders had beenpletely wiped out, and the three Holy Lands were destroyed in the war. What else was there that could cause their husband to feel so troubled?
When they heard Mei Xueyan talk about the dried corpses all along the road to here, everyone gasped and widened their eyes. Although these girls’ cultivations were considered rather high, their battle strength was very weak. When they heard about those terrifying events, they could not help but to grow afraid.
The incredibly frustrated Jun Moxie directly began to give outmands, sending avian Xuan Beasts to cover the skies and report back the moment they receive any news. All the countries were also informed about the matter of Zhan Kuang. From here on, the only thing left to do was to wait patiently for news.
At the same time, he seized the time to cultivate as much as possible. Because Jun Moxie could feel that to deal with Zhan Kuang this time, it would definitely take an extremely bitter fight! If he didn’t make ample preparations, he would end up being the one to suffer!
After hearing about this matter, Miao Xiaomiao became extremely troubled. She was afraid that Zhan Kuang would run into the Misty Illusory Manor and create chaos. From what Jun Moxie had described, Zhan Kuang’s current strength was something that no one in the entire Misty Illusory Manor could handle!
Although Jun Moxie also had the same worries in his heart, he still tried tofort Miao Xiaomiao. No matter how twisted and evil Zhan Kuang was, he would definitely try to think on behalf of his descendants and family. As such, fighting all out against the Misty Illusory Manor would not be his most ideal choice of action...
Miao Xiaomiao rxed a little more after hearing this, but she was still somewhat worried.
Although Young Master Jun sounded sure when heforted Miao Xiaomiao, his own emotions had grown even heavier.
He’d even determined in his heart that the reason the Misty Illusory Manor hadn’t sent anyone to take part in the War for Seizing the Heavens was rted to Zhan Kuang. The silence that the Misty Illusory Manor was maintaining now, definitely pointed to the fact that something major had happened there!
Otherwise, whether it was for their friendship with the three Holy Lands, or for the sake of their rtionship with the alliance, the Misty Illusory Manor would definitely have taken part in the war!
However, Jun Moxie always had a burning doubt in his mind.
The others may not be aware of this, but he knew. Although the Misty Illusory Manor didn’t have anyone that could handle Zhan Kuang, the Miao Family still had a super expert with them... the only remaining personal disciple of the Nine Nether First Young Master, and Zhan Kuang’s teacher: Miao Qingcheng!
Miao Qingcheng was definitely a super expert that was countless times more powerful than Zhan Kuang, and was the only true Sage expert in the current world. Even if he was restricted by all kinds of reasons, there shouldn’t be any way that he would be able to condone Zhan Kuang’s actions right? But if that was true, how would the inactivity of the Misty Illusory Manor be exined?
The days passed slowly, but there was no news at all...
On this day, Qiao Ying, who had yet to walk out from her grief, suddenly came to look for Jun Moxie.
Ever since they returned from the Pir of Heavens Mountains, Qiao Ying had been mired in silence and solitude. She hardly spoke a single word for days. As a daughter of the pugilistic world, although she was not going to the extremes of washing her face with tears every day, her gloomy silence still caused others to feel an extremely heavy feeling when they looked at her.
“You’re looking for me? What’s going on?” Jun Moxie had been staying for long periods of time inside the Hongjun Pagoda, quietly cultivating in preparation to charge for the Eighth level of the Hongjun Pagoda. When he heard that Qiao Ying hade to look for him, he immediately ended his training and came out.
