Otherworldly Evil Monarch

Chapter 916: You...

Return my Innocence!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In an instant, everyone suddenly woke up from their memories, discovering that many of their faces had already been stained with tears!

The people in this room all had extremely profound cultivations, and their ages were incredibly great.

These people had long ago forgotten the feeling of crying; but as they felt the tears running down their cheeks, they realized that actually, they had never truly forgotten how to cry!

The eyes of the crowd was complicated and the way they looked at Jun Mo Xie was somewhat strange.

“Everyone, the path of the Martial Dao has always been a difficult and long one, and it’s undoubtedly a battle with oneself.

It’s a battle with one’s innate laziness, a battle with one’s own personality, and most importantly...

it’s a battle with one’s own feelings!

” Jun Mo Xie smiled charmingly and continued.

“Sentiments are hard to break, and it has historically been one of the greatest heart’s demons of cultivation and the most powerful shackles!

Countless heroes have all fallen to this barrier of emotions since times past.

“It’s not to say that because a person had experienced the love between a man and a woman, that they would have seen through the barrier of emotions, severing the thread of carnal love with the sword of wisdom.

As long as love existed before, it will never be seen through or be severed!

Every single one of you has lived for thousands of years, and you think yourselves to have seen through the weight of your emotions...

However, there would inevitably be moments when you could not help but to recall!

The longer you suppress your emotions, the more unbearable it will be when you think of it!

And because of that, the more difficult it would be to get through the heart’s demon in your cultivation!

This is especially so for your breakthroughs...

Perhaps the lightning tribulation alone would be sufficient to claim your lives!

” Even as tears stained their faces, everyone began to ponder over his words seriously.

“Of your cultivation right now...

a portion of that is the heart’s demon that you’ve cultivated!

The greater your strength, the stronger it grows!

At this rate, it will sooner or later be impossible to ever free yourself of the heart’s demon’s grasp.

One day, the backlash from the heart’s demon will claim your souls, utterly destroying you!

” Jun Mo Xie explained slowly.

“Then...

how do we break the shackles of the heart’s demon?

” The first person on the right asked.

His eyes were filled with tears as he raised his head.

“This barrier of emotions...

how do we transcend it?

” This person’s relationship with his wife had been the deepest among all of them.

When his beloved wife had died that year, he’d nearly given up on living...

After so many years, everytime he thought of it, he would still brood endlessly in sorrow.

Looking at Jun Mo Xie, he said with a sad voice, “If passing the barrier of emotions means to wipe her away from my heart...

this old man...

would rather have my soul destroyed!

” “Everyone has different methods to transcend the barrier of emotion.

What is suitable for me might not be suitable for you.

” Jun Mo Xie smiled lightly and said.

“However, this barrier of emotion is definitely not passed by suppressing or forgetting your emotions!

Thus..

everyone should let nature take its course!

” “Let nature take its course...

” A look of confusion appeared on everyone’s face.

“There are some...

who used tears to transcend the barrier of emotion...

” Jun Mo Xie said in a solemn voice.

“According to legends...

his face was still flowing with tears of love for his wife even after he’d crossed through the lightning tribulation...

The depth of this person’s emotion...

can be easily imagined!

” “Using tears to transcend the barrier of emotion?

” This statement sounded somewhat ridiculous in the ears of the crowd.

But when thought about it carefully, they feel that it was not completely illogical.

But as for where the logic lay, no one could tell...

“Everyone, this junior shall gift a sentence to you today, as compensation for the favor you’ve shown me this time.

” Jun Mo Xie smiled lightly and said.

“In a moment, I will still need to take something away from her; may Seniors not hold it against me.

” “Don’t worry, as long as it’s something you like, apart from us only being able to give you one stalk of the Exquisite Lotus, you can take whatever else you want, as much as you need!

” Everyone practically promised at the same time as they thought to himself.

What can this kid take away from here?

We’ve already promised you the Exquisite Lotus.

There’s also nothing good here left for you to take away.

As for those heavenly treasures, all of them are growing from the ground; even if you wanted to bring them away, you won’t be able to...

In that case, we might as well act in a more generous way...

“In that case, this junior thanks the many Seniors here.

” Jun Mo Xie laughed in a strange manner as he nodded.

“The sentence I will gift Seniors is this: The barrier of emotions has always been treated as a fearsome tiger to overcome; but if you look at it from another angle...

The heart’s demon, might not necessarily be unable to instead become a form of help...

” This last sentence had been purposefully dragged out by Jun Mo Xie to convey its meaning.

After he was done, everyone fell into deep thoughts.

“The heart’s demon...

might not necessarily be unable to instead become a form of help...

” Everyone sucked in a breath of air and furrowed their brows, seemingly having comprehended something and seemingly not.

In that moment, their hearts were unable to be at rest...

“Everyone’s trial of the emotions is already right before you; this junior trusts that after Seniors pass through this trial, you will have your own comprehensions on the matter.

This junior had been presumptuous earlier, using a secret hypnotive technique in my voice to stir up Seniors’ emotions.

If there was any impoliteness on this junior behalf, I seek Seniors’ understanding.

” Jun Mo Xie smiled and said.

Jun Mo Xie’s face was somewhat pale after hypnotizing so many peak level experts at once.

Although the mental power he’d been using was supported by the Hongjun Pagoda, he himself had also been exhausted.

“There’s no need to be so polite!

Young friend Jun, your words have helped us unravel the mist in our minds, pointing out a path for us.

For this, we’re already so grateful to you; how would we still blame you?

Besides, we’d also allowed ourselves to be led by your magic.

Otherwise...

hur hur...

Today, our warm memories of thousands of years had been stirred up, bringing with it a myriad of emotions...

From the looks of it, we’ll need to go into secluded cultivation immediately for a period of time...

” The first person on the right answered.

From his voice, he was very grateful towards Jun Mo Xie.

The others also expressed their agreement, and their eyes grew much warmer...

“Many thanks.

” Jun Mo Xie smiled and cupped his fists.

“Since Seniors are going into secluded cultivation, this junior will be going ahead to claim the Exquisite Lotus first.

After that, I may be staying for a few more days before going on my way.

” “No worries, as long as you like it, you can stay even longer.

” Gu Han’s voice had a faint hint of a smile as he continued.

“Young friend Jun...

there’s another matter which I’d like to address.

” “Senior please speak.

” “Young friend Jun, the three Holy Lands and you are now sworn enemies.

To this result, it was indeed something that they’d sought themselves, and nobody can be blamed.

If you want to seek revenge, we will not shelter or stand on their side as well...

We only ask that Young Master Jun can take into account that they’ve guarded the continent for 10,000 years...

to show some mercy, and reconsider a little...

” Gu Han’s face turned heavy as he sighed.

“The grudge between the Holy Lands and I...

keke, I was never a good person, and the debt of blood from before is definitely something that I still need to claim.

” Jun Mo Xie smiled and continued.

“It doesn’t matter who asks me; as long as it’s someone that deserves to die, I’ve never been gone lightly against them.

To this point, I hope that Senior can be understanding.

” One of the strongest expert in this world was asking for mercy on someone else’s behalf, but Jun Mo Xie actually would not relent a single step still!

Gu Han sighed deeply, and didn’t bring up the matter anymore.

He simply looked deeply at Jun Mo Xie and said, “Qiao Ying, bring young friend Jun Mo Xie to pluck a stalk of Exquisite Lotus.

The few of us will not be accompanying you.

Send my orders; as long as young friend Jun needs something on this mountain, he can take it away as he wishes.

No one is allowed to stop him.

” After that, he nodded at Jun Mo Xie.

“Young friend Jun, you can leave by yourself after you’ve obtained whatever you need.

Us old men are anxious to go into secluded cultivation and will not be able to send you off.

” “Senior need not be polite.

” Jun Mo Xie hurriedly said as he thought in his heart.

Just hurry up and go into seclusion.

As long as you undying old farts go into seclusion, I can take whatever I want from this place without any obstruction.

Otherwise, this Young Master could have simply give you a word of enlightenment directly; why would I spend so much effort to hypnotize your emotions out?

Undoubtedly, this was the true motive behind Jun Mo Xie’s great efforts!

Everything was for the precious heavenly treasures of this Mount Heaven Saint!

Only this place had those precious spirit herbs that no other places had!

One had to know, that some of the spirit herbs here were essentials for pill refining that Jun Mo Xie would need once he reached the Sixth or Seventh layer, yet having never come across them yet!

From the looks of it, they were stuff that even the Nine Nether First Young Master hadn’t managed to collect.

This also proved one thing: even if one’s personal strength was great enough to be unrivalled under the heavens, it was still not as useful as having the deep foundations of a powerful faction...

The green light shining in Jun Mo Xie’s eyes nearly capped the entire mountain in green...

If such a large amount of good stuff with such good quality was free for you to pick, wouldn’t you be anxious as well?!

Jun Mo Xie held back his impatience, bidding farewell to the old seniors warmly and respectfully.

After a round of acting reluctant to part, and agreeing to some of their requests...

he was finally...

done.

Jun Mo Xie spat out a long breath of air and wiped away his sweat.

Thereafter, he swayed his butt and swaggered off exaggeratedly, cursing to himself: “F*ck, those old fellows are truly exhausting, this Young Master nearly suffered an internal injury from exasperation ah...

” Behind him, Qiao Ying looked in shock as the previously elegant and graceful Young Master suddenly transformed into a foul mouthed hoodlum...

My goodness, to think this fellow actually had the face to call us two-faced and shameless.

This brat is the true two faced hypocrite!

The angel is him, and the devil is him as well!

“Where’s your Exquisite Lotus?

” Jun Mo Xie asked with some impatience.

“Follow me and you’ll see it.

” Qiao Ying snorted unkindly as she turned around, not willing to look at this quick face changing bastard.

Gritting her teeth and forcefully refraining herself from slapping him across the face, she stomped off.

Jun Mo Xie cackled sinisterly, quickly following behind her.

He had to admit, that this exquisite beauty walking in front of him was truly a little too eye-catching.

Her fragrant scent travelled down with the wind, floating directly into his nose, causing him to feel somewhat intoxicated...

In order to fully appreciate this scene, Young Master Jun quietly dropped back a few steps and looked forward with a smile.

The more he looked, the more he felt that this beauty’s backview was impeccable...

He could not help but sigh a few times in admiration.

Such an exquisite and country toppling beauty was actually single year after year...

What a waste of heaven’s treasure ah!

Jun Mo Xie sighed to the sky.

Is that All Seeing Eye...

really so important?

This silly lass had actually sacrificed like that stupidly for over a thousand years...

Why couldn’t she have thought for herself for just a moment?

Before her, there weren’t any people with the All Seeing Eye.

Yet, didn’t they still win the War for Seizing the Heavens?

Would the sun stop rising if this world lacked a certain person?

How stupid...

Qiao Ying who was walking in front only heard Jun Mo Xie sighing over and over behind her.

Not knowing what he was being so troubled about, she asked, “Young Master Jun is young and talented; why are you so melancholic?

” Jun Mo Xie looked at her willowy waist in an enchanted manner and could not help but sigh again in a heartfelt manner.

“As long as the strange races are not destroyed, their ambition will never be extinguished.

The War for Seizing the Heavens is right at our doorsteps; just thinking about how the common people will be trampled and defiled by the strange races, I...

I truly find it such a waste ah...

” The last sentence was truly said with his heart, and he sighed once more deeply.

Such a beauty is actually...

what a waste ah..

.

In that moment, Qiao Ying could not help but greatly change the way she looked at him.

Thinking to herself that this Evil Monarch had actually been touched after coming to Mount Heaven Saint, her tone became much gentler.

“Young Master Jun should not feel troubled; with the strength of Young Master Jun’s forces, in addition to Tian Fa’s might and the Holy Lands, if we went all out and fought to the death, there might still be a chance for the continent.

” Jun Mo Xie mumbled in a listless manner.

“Difficult ah...

how can it be easy to swing the situation?

A matter like cook the crane for meat and burn a stringed instrument for fuel truly makes my heart ache...

unless...

” “Unless what?

” Qiao Ying suddenly felt as if she was about to explode from happiness.

For the sake of the War for Seizing the Heavens, she had been willing to maintain her purity for a thousand years in order to retain her All Seeing Eye to deal with the strange races’s stealth techniques.

To a girl, this kind of sacrifice could be said to be capable of touching the heavens and earth.

She’d already made the War for Seizing the Heavens her only purpose in life long ago.

Right now, judging by the strength of the mainland, their chances of victory was incredibly slim.

Hearing that there was a chance that this Evil Monarch might relent, she was incredibly excited.

If Jun Mo Xie’s faction could join in the War for Seizing the Heavens, their chances of winning this time would be quite high!

Her heart skipping with delight, she immediately stopped her steps and asked, “Young Master Jun has a condition?

” All of a sudden, she felt a weight behind her and an intense warmth.

A bout of strong male scent was plastered behind her...

As his mind drifted, Jun Mo Xie had been following behind her like an enchanted zombie.

When she suddenly stopped walking, he’d been taken by surprise, bumping into her without noticing.

In that moment, he only felt a wall of softness and sweet fragrance on his the front of his body...

An advantage delivered so freely to him; it would be a waste to not enjoy it...

“Ah...?

” Qiao Ying exclaimed lightly with shock as her heart skipped like a deer.

Her jade white face instantly turned red and hot.

Because of her All Seeing Eye, she’d been brought to Mount Heaven Saint when she was just a little girl.

She had never come into contact with a man before, so in that moment, her heart was skipping wildly.

“Ah...

” Jun Mo Xie narrowed his eyes and exclaimed as he leaned against her, as though his body had no bones.

“You...

why did you stop?

” As he said that, he even rubbed his face against her back, sighing lightly in his heart.

How comfortable...

“You...

hurry up and stand properly!

” Qiao Ying felt her body growing soft, and she panicked.

“I...

I can’t get up...

I don’t know what’s going on, but my entire skeleton seemed to have turned soft...

Y-you...

quickly push me away, how is this appropriate?

” Jun Mo Xie mumbled accusingly as he shifted his sense of gravity further forward, practically “sticking” onto her body.

Qiao Ying was both embarrassed and angry.

Somehow regaining her strength, she dashed out with a shu sound, stepping away from the awkward situation.

When she turned, back, she saw that Jun Mo Xie’s body was actually tilted forward by over 40, 50 degree; fixed at such an awkward angle and yet not falling down...

“You’re...

shamel-...

” The words shameless hadn’t even left her mouth when she saw Jun Mo Xie straightening himself swiftly.

A look of lingering fear could be seen on his face as he mumbled to himself.

“This Mount Heaven Saint is truly an amazing place, I’ve just stepped into this place and suddenly lost control over my body...

nearly harming a lady’s reputation.

How truly shocking...

truthfully, this place is really quite magical...

my mental fortitude is considered pretty good, but I’d actually been confused and affected, nearly dropping my pants...

” “...

” Qiao Ying felt her breath stagnating in her chest.

She’d seen shamelessness before, but she’d never seen or even heard of anything so shameless before!

This fellow before her was clearly an unprecedented existence and would be unsurpassable in shamelessness in the future!

To think that such shameless words were said right in front of a lady!

Qiao Ying’s shoulders trembled with rage, and she stamped her foot down.

“Jun Mo Xie!

You, you...

how can you be like that?

” “Miss is right, I’ve done wrongly!

” Jun Mo Xie said with a sincere voice like one admitting his wrongs.

“No matter the reason, I should not have leaned against Miss’s body.

Although it was because you’d suddenly stop walking, and I couldn’t notice because it was too sudden...

But that’s not an excuse!

It’s definitely not!

No matter what, today I...

like a hooligan...

Ai, I...

Such an innocent person like me, my precious purity...

boo hoo...

” Qiao Ying very nearly fainted.

What nonsense is this fellow spouting?

He started off fine, but towards the end, it’d actually became her who stained his purity?

A moment later, Jun Mo Xie’s eyes became even wetter, and his voice sounded more and more wronged as he spat out in a nasally voice, “You!

Return my innocence!

” Qiao Ying’s body swayed a few times, and she felt a surge of blood gushing up her chest.

Suddenly snapping back to her mind, she roared with rage.

“Jun Mo Xie!

How much longer are you going to mess around?!

” “Eh?

Er, cough cough...

” Young Master Jun coughed awkwardly a few times before smiling sheepishly.

“Miss, we should be arriving soon right?

I know that the Exquisite Lotus is a precious treasure of the Holy Lands, but you can’t just lead me around in an endless loop...

” “Who is leading you around aimlessly?!

” Qiao Ying’s eyes were wide opened with rage.

“It’s just right in front!

Are you blind?

” As she said that, she pointed forward.

To actually dare to doubt this lady’s trustworthiness, how hateful!

Qiao Ying was boiling with rage, completely forgetting to pursue the matter of that fellow’s nonsense of taking advantage of her yet blaming her for it...

“Ahhh~!

So it’s right in front...

” Jun Mo Xie laughed aloud with joy and rushed up, exclaiming, “How beautiful!

” Just in front, hidden in a misty fog, there was a pool of only a few zhang wide.

The water in the pool was clear enough to see through all the way to the bottom; looking with the naked eye, it was even shining with a faint light, as if the pool was enveloped in a holy radiance.

Walking up, he discovered that there were countless white objects in the water, covering the entire pond.

Seven, eight pieces of leaves floated in the center of the pond.

These leaves were actually all colorless.

If one did not look carefully, it would be difficult to distinguish them.

Numerous stalks of transparent, vine-like objects supported the leaves below the water, and apart from that, there was nothing else here.

“Miss...

please don’t joke around with me...

this...

this is the Exquisite Lotus?

” Jun Mo Xie pointed at the few pieces of leaves and asked with disbelief.

“Yes, those are the treasures of the Holy Lands.

” Qiao Ying had a solemn look on her face as she looked at the few pieces of leaves with tender protectiveness.

“The Nine Segment Exquisite Lotus!

” “F*ck me!

” Jun Mo Xie said with some exasperation.

“There’s just this many of these broken things?

Even if it creates an Exquisite Lotus Root, how big would it be?

Isn’t this playing with the hearts of people?

I have over 10 hungry people back home to feed ah...

” “Over 10 people?

” Qiao Ying rolled her eyes as if she was about to faint.

“Then you need to wait for a few thousand years more!

The Nine Segment Exquisite Lotus only produces a fruit once every 500 years, and a single segment of Exquisite Lotus will only produce one Exquisite Lotus Root.

” This time, it was Jun Mo Xie who rolled his eyes as if he was about to faint.

At this moment, he was frustrated to the point of wanting to tear his hair out.

Finally calming himself, he asked in a hopeful manner: “Then, how many people can each lotus root be split among?

” “Each root is only enough for one person to consume a single time.

” Qiao Ying smiled lightly, looking at Jun Mo Xie in a manner of watching a good show.

“That impossible?!

This is a lotus root we’re talking about right?

Even if it’s cut into pieces, there should at least be several pieces?

It’s only enough for a single person?

Are you kidding me?

” “What nonsense are you spouting?

How large of a lotus root are you imagining this finger sized lotus to produce?

” Qiao Ying rolled her eyes and looked at Jun Mo Xie as though she was looking at an idiot.

“Actually thinking of cutting it into pieces?

It’s only the size of a grain of rice...

how will you cut it into pieces?

” “A grain of rice?!

” Jun Mo Xie completely lost hope and he exclaimed with rage.

“What’s the use of a tiny thing like that no bigger than a mosquito’s d*ck?

To think that your Heaven Saint Palace actually treats it as a precious treasure; how embarrassing!

I might as well just take everything away...

” “You dare!

” Qiao Ying’s eyes lit up with shock and her voice grew several pitch higher.

“These are the precious treasures of our Heaven Saint Palace!

It’s as important as the life and death of the Heaven Saint Palace itself!

If you dare to touch it lightly, I will make sure that the Jun Family inside Tian Fa Forest is completely annihilated!

” Jun Mo Xie had merely been joking before and hadn’t truly intended to act on his words.

However, Qiao Ying’s words had completely touched on his reverse scale, igniting his greatest animosity.

All of a sudden, he turned around and stared dangerously at Qiao Ying as his voice turned dark and cold.

“Are you...

threatening me?

” “I’m just speaking a fact...

” Qiao Ying’s heart jumped with fright.

As those cold and sharp eyes locked onto her face, she felt her entire body growing cold, and her tone instantly softened.

“The Nine Segment Exquisite Lotus is the absolute treasure of the Heaven Saint Palace.

The entire Heaven Saint Palace can be lost, but we cannot lose the Exquisite Lotus!

Young Master Jun, you should understand the importance of the Exquisite Lotus to us now that I put it this way right?

” “It’s fine if you say it that way, but...

please remember that regardless of the situation, it’s best to not threaten me!

Especially...

” Jun Mo Xie’s tone grew heavier as he continued in a dangerous tone: “using my family to threaten me.

I will never accept any threats, because I will use all my abilities to utterly bury anyone who is a threat to me!

“Even a peerless beauty is not an exception!

I...

have never been a person who is soft hearted for women!

” As he said those words, Jun Mo Xie stared ruthlessly into Qiao Ying’s eyes.

An extremely dangerous feeling rose in Qiao Ying’s heart.

Standing before this junior whose cultivation was far below hers, she actually felt a mountain of pressure crushing down on her!

In that moment, she could not help but to take one step backwards in fear!
