Three unforgettable hisses resounded in the wake of that hair-raising noise. Two of these voices managed to stand out from the rest, and everyone inside the Southern Heaven City had been able to discern them.
The two sounds ā one like the cry of a crane, and the other like that of a bear ā had been emitted by the two Xuan Beast Kings ā Long Crane and Big Bear.
Only a small number of experts were aware that those two were the instigators of the Xuan Beast Uprising.
There was a āwhooshā sound, and a giant crane suddenly flew-by from above. It passed over like lightening. Its opened-wings spanned at least fifteen-to-twenty meters in length. The craneās crown was bright red, and it glittered resplendent in the bright sunlight. Its shiny beak appeared like a sharp sword that was seemingly cutting through the sky.
Everyone could see that the crane was looking down at the residence of the cityās lord with great disdain. Its wing covered the sky, and the entire world became dark in an instant. It seemed a giant cloud had suddenly appeared out of thin air, and had then disappeared in the next instant.
Then, a giant silhouette suddenly appeared from the mountains, and started to rush at lightning speed. It didnāt matter whether it was going down a road or through trees; nothing could stop it. It crashed into the giant trees, and severed them from their middle. However, it had disappeared by the time the trees fell downā¦.
Li Jue Tian suddenly flew onto the roof. No part of his body ā including even his bodyās hair ā moved an inch. He flew-up until he had station himself on the roof-top. However, his bearing had made it seem as if he had remained standing on the ground instead of flying up in the air. His movements had been very leisurely.
The lightness of his skills was closer to magic than anything else.
āHas the venerable Lord Mei arrived? Kindly excuse Li Jue Tian for not welcoming you!ā Li Jue Tian had amassed the entirety of his Xuan Qi, and had used it to transmit his dignified voice loud and far. He had climbed on top of the roof, and had emitted a roar worth-witnessing. He was afraid of losing his face in front of this Devine Dragon of a Tian Fa Lord. Moreover, he wasnāt willing to resign himself to start with a disadvantage.
That voice rose up to the sky, and slowly and gravely started to transmit towards the south. It seemed quite gentle to those who heard it on the ground. But, it seemed like a resounding thunder amongst the innumerable mountains and streams after it reached there. It flowed with great momentum and exceptional prestige.
It echoed amongst the mountains and the woods for a long time before its effect finally came to halt.
āā¦excuse ā¦for not welcoming youā¦
That earth-shaking shout by Li Jue Tian left the low-level Xuan Beasts tremble with fear in the mountains and the woods. So much so, that it even induced a few panic stricken riots.
It had to be admitted that Li Jue Tianās shout was on the same level as the earlier screech of those Xuan beast Kings. Its effect was quite different, but it certainly didnāt fall short in terms of its level.
Then, they heard a clear and long-drawn-out voice. Everyone could tell that this person had spoken from a distance of at least five kilometers. However, that individualās voice made it seem as if he was standing right in front of them.
This personās voice was quite strange. It was fair, honest and mild. None could discern whether it was a male or a female from the voice itself.
āLi Jue Tianā¦ itās really youā¦? Youāve reached a profound cultivation level! Ha haā¦! No wonder my younger brothers were so angry! How could an ordinary man cause them to have such a look in their eyes? And, to have even defeated themā¦? Good! Good! You have progressed Li Jue Tian! You have really progressed!ā
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They felt like their heads would explode. Li Jue Tian was a top expert. He was the Second Great Master amongst all the Great Masters. He was no ordinary man!
However, this person wasnāt even talking to him at a level of equality. He had even complemented that the Great Master had āprogressedāā¦
Those words of praise were like those spoken by a teacher to their very young and obedient pupilā¦ āChild, you have progressed so much! Youāre such a good child!ā
Li Jue Tianās voice was unrivalled; the might of its prestige had been unbounded. But, the opposite partyās voice was dull and effortless. However, who amongst the listeners wasnāt an expert? How could they not tell that this individualās cultivation was higher than Li Jue Tianās after they had listened to that exchange? Maybe even higher by an entire realmā¦? Or perhaps they were at the same realmā¦ However, the difference between them must be at least as much as the one that separated the Solitary Falcon and Li Jue Tian.
They were separated by a long distance. Li Jue Tianās voice had managed to stir bursts of echoes. But, this other entityās voice had made it seem as if he had been standing right next to them. In fact, it hadnāt even echoed. This area was surrounded by mountains. So, even the loud cough of an ordinary person would tend to resound in this vicinity. However, his individualās voice hadnātā¦ even though he had spoken from a distance of over 5kmsā¦
[What kind of control is this? This control can easily be said to have reached perfection. It has genuinely reached the greatest of heights!]
Then, Li Jue Tian raised his voice, āThis matter has arisen because your two younger brothers have provoked my Xue Hun Manor without any reason. I ā Li Jue Tian ā merely struck back in the given situation. Tell meā¦ was that really wrong of me? And, as for suffering a lossā¦ could it be that the venerable Mei canāt see who has suffered the genuine loss hereā¦? Its no other than my Xue Hun Manorā¦ my lifeās work has been reduced to ashes! Iād like to ask what the venerable Mei has to say on this matterā¦?ā
Li Jue Tianās tone was full of condemnation. He was aware of the difference in strength between him and the opposite party. However, he couldnāt be outdone or be seen to shy away in the capacity of the Second Great Master.
The distant voice then became sharp, āLi Jue Tian! Are you telling me that you fought my brothers and were unsuccessful? So, why are you painting me as a ābullyā? Li Jue Tian! Are you sure that youāre not dreaming?ā
Everyoneās hearts shook. [This man had just covered-up his sonās extreme wrong doing, and had acted without any reason. And now, his eyes have been opened. He had shielded his son, and had avoided an uncomfortable topic. But now, heās arguing with someone whoās even more unreasonable. I donāt know if itās karma or divine retributionā¦]
Jun Mo Xie lifted his chin as he felt inwardly appreciative. [Very good! This personās temperament is quite similar to mine! I can certainly take advantage of this guyās power later!]
āHow could you dare?!ā Li Jue Tian snorted, āAs the saying goesā¦ Justice is the free will of the peopleā¦ everything must have a reason behind it. You canāt act brashly even if youāre the greatest under heaven!ā
The other person then laughed, āWhat are you saying? This joke of yours isnāt pleasant to hear, Li Jue Tian. Have you really adhered to this saying throughout your life? How come youāre the one to preach now that the matter has gone above you, and your opponent is stronger than youā¦? Justice is the free will of the peopleā¦ youāve have just spoken these words, Great Master Li Jue Tianā¦ but, does your distinguished self actually believe in them?!ā
Those were very pinching words. The law of the world was only binding to ordinary people; it had no effect on the strongest in the world.
The talk of ājustice and free will of the peopleā were mere empty words for the powerful.
Only those whose fists were strong could decide ājusticeā in that world.
Those words by the opposite party were an unreasonable rhetoric, but they were also a fact. That pinching mockery of Li Jue Tian made Jun Mo Xie feel very satisfied in his heart. He almost felt like pointing his finger at the Great Master and saying, āScoundrel! You keep preaching about justice and free will. But, is that reasonable? Is it reasonable that your son wants to forcibly snatch away a familyās daughter-in-law? How can you call that ājustā?ā
[The evil indeed fall into their own traps!]
Li Jue Tian snorted and replied sharply, āVenerable Mei, shall I assume by these words that you wonāt distinguish between right and wrong, and will continue to shield the miscreants?ā
Li Jue Tian was the second of the Eight Great Masters. And, his conscious wouldnāt allow him to discuss such matter. So, he avoided this uncomfortable topic once again. Moreover, he had more-than-half of the worldās experts gathered beside him. So, even the venerable Mei would find it difficult to face-off against such a forceā¦ even if his strength transcended the heavens.
The other personās voice became sharper and colder, āLi Jue Tian, you Eight Great Masters are renowned for your strength. But, you still arenāt much in my eyes. Kindly think over what youāve just said, and remember who youāre talking to!ā
The opposite party had stopped. It seemed as if something had come up. Then, he burst out again in severe rage, āLi Jue Tian, when did you decide to go to the Elusive World of Immortals? You have caused a huge injury to my fourth younger brother with your sword! You certainly do have guts!ā
This roarās power was world-shaking. It had nearly stirred a storm in the sky above. It was evident that the Lord of Tian Fa was very enraged. It appeared that Big Bear had made it to him, and had shown him the injuries on his body.
Jun Mo Xie thought; [The Elusive World of Immortals ā¦? Why havenāt I ever heard of it?] He looked at the faces of others around him. They too had a perplexed expression on their faces. Those people obviously didnāt know about this place either.

Everyone else doubted what they heard, but Jun Mo Xie pondered deeply. He may certainly not know anything about the Elusive World of Immortals ā¦ However, the fact that Li Jue Tian had seriously injured a Xuan Beast Kingās body was quite shocking. It was important to know that Big Bearās physique was amazing, and had transcended any human abilities. Big Bear was a formidable Xuan Beast. Moreover, he had once laughingly faced-off against the Solitary Falcon and Shi Chang Xiao. Yet, he hadnāt suffered from the slightest of injuries at that time. And, he had retreated with his body completely unharmed. So, one could imagine his bodyās defensive capabilities.
However, Li Jue Tian had used his āElusive Heart and Vein Splitting Sword Attackā to inflict such injuries to him. Therefore, one could easily imagine the might of his strengthā¦
āThere are some things one mustnāt discuss. Venerable Mei mustnāt try to attract the heavenly calamity upon himself in a fit of rage.ā Li Jue Tianās tone of speech has a flavor of caution to it, āYou may attract the dissatisfaction of the Holy Land if you create too much noise. I presume the āall-knowingā venerable Mei will consider this?ā
He had unexpectedly suggested the other party to avoid discussing this topic of entering the āThe Elusive World of Immortalsā.
āHa ha haā¦ā The bone chilling laughter rose up to the sky, and continued to resound for some time. Then, the opposite party replied, āAre you trying to threaten me with the Holy Land, Li Jue Tian?ā
