Otherworldly Evil Monarch Chapter 990

Bai Qi Feng glared angrily and yelled, “Then are we supposed to just suck it up like this? I refuse to accept it! If there is no big mess, those bastards will still try to plot against Mo Jun Ye! Aren’t you worried?”

“What are you yelling for!” Cao Guo Feng also yelled, instantly silencing him. Cao Guo Feng panted heavily to catch his breath before continuing. “You said it earlier; Old Miao is in a rage. The reason must also be concerning this matter. It was not only Jun Ye who was attacked. His precious granddaughter Miao Xiao Miao was too. How about you follow me to the Miao Family right now for this matter. From what Jun Ye said, there was one survivor that was brought back by Miao Xiao Miao. Not too sure how the interrogation is so far; if there is evidence and witness, then everything will be different.”

“Right, right, right. This makes sense. There must be no delay; we must depart right now!” Bai Qi Feng dragged Cao Guo Feng and rushed off… In a blink of an eye, both Saint Emperors were gone…

The other remaining Saint Emperors told Jun Mo Xie to go and rest, but none of them left, instantly settling down. However, they didn’t really settle down much, and none of them rested. They protected Jun Mo Xie’s room thoroughly…

What if there was another assassin?

This incident where Mo Jun Ye was almost assassinated completely shook the nerves of these Saint Emperors. They were completely on edge. They did not dare to take anymore chances, determined to destroy all threats the moment it began to sprout…

Much like the agitation here on Cao Guo Feng’s side and the rage at the Miao Family, the Zhan Family was also in a state of flurry.

After making arrangements for six Venerables to assassinate Mo Jun Ye, in order to avoid suspicion, Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu returned back home immediately. After being severely reprimanded by the seniors, they were ordered to reflect on their own acts.

Both of them were harboring their own designs, frequently checking the time. That Great Prodigy Mo with the Free and Natural Physique would have already turned into a pile of minced meat by now!

Both brothers waited eagerly. But no news came in and it began to turn late. Both of them began to feel worried. Could it be that there were some other accidents?

If there were any mishaps, both of them were the first to not believe in it! Six Venerables were deployed for this operation ah. A force like this was more than enough to deal with a Golden Xuan; how could there be any accidents? What other accidents could happen?

We are literally using a giant rock to smash ants! It is definitely a piece of cake! Maybe those people were loyal to our orders and are torturing Mo Jun Ye, making him find life more miserable than death. That is why they have yet to return until now!

That Mo Jun Ye is definitely dead! There are no other possibilities!

But even until midnight, no news came in. Both of their hearts began to drum. They were very confident in those guards of theirs. They were extremely experienced and understood that delays might bring more unexpected changes, so even if they were torturing Mo Jun Ye, they would still not delay it for too long. Even if anyone met with an attack, it didn’t make sense for all six of them to be affected ah…

Could it be…

“Brother, do you think there was an accident?” Zhan Yu Shu frowned, an extremely troubled look on his face as he walked back and forth.

“It is indeed odd. Could it be that something really happened?” Zhan Qing Feng had already noticed that something was amiss either, but he did not bring it up first.

“If something happened… then it’s a big problem!” Zhan Yu Shu said anxiously. “With the high regard the higher-ups of Misty Illusory Manor have towards Mo Jun Ye, if someone knows that both of us arranged this, it’ll be bad even if the family supports us!”

Zhan Qing Feng’s eyes suddenly gleamed sinisterly as he paced up and down. “Judging from their traveling speed, it will only take an hour at most for them to get to the mountain. Right now, it’s been almost six hours… If they have yet to return then something must have happened! Then… Yu Shu, we must prepare for a rainy day…”

“Plan for a rainy day?” Zhan Yu Shu looked at him in confusion.

“We go and find Father right now and admit to him that we did this. Let him help us find a solution.” Zhan Qing Feng said resolutely. “If it works out and Mo Jun Ye is dead, the Misty Illusory Manor may pursue the matter of the death of this prodigy, but it will not be of such great importance. I believe that Father will be able to help us keep this secret and we will not be in big trouble. But if something really went wrong and we are caught… we can also make arrangements first! At least, we must be prepared for it.”

“So one of us must get ready to step up to carry this responsibility!” Zhan Qing Feng looked at Zhan Yu Shu.

“Perish that thought!” Zhan Yu Shu’s entire body trembled. “The moment this matter is blown up, no matter who the one carrying it is, that person is doomed! Brother, don’t you dare think of making me carry this alone! We are brothers; we do this together! Or perhaps you are willing to take care of this younger brother and carry this heavy burden?!”

“Perish the thought? That remains to be said! When the time comes, it’s not up to us! This matter has gone beyond our area of control!”

Zhan Qing Feng laughed sinisterly. “The moment this matter is exposed, the family will definitely not admit that there were two people who conspired this. It will only have a worse impact, so I think they’ll decide between the two of us. The outcome is simple: its either you or me! And this matter is decided by the seniors of the family. Our fates are no longer ours anymore! I am telling you this merely for you to be prepared for it.”

Zhan Yu Shu lowered his head in defeat. He was no fool, so he could understand the truth behind Zhan Qing Feng’s words.

In the study room of their father, Zhan Chang Song was instantly stunned after listening to his two sons. He stumbled and fell into the seat behind him!

He had never imagined that his two sons whom he had such high hopes for had gotten themselves into such a big mess!

Zhan Chang Song did not even have time to chide his two sons. He instantly sent experts in the family to check out the place the two brothers mentioned. At the same time, he informed the current head of the Zhan Family, Zhan Wu Yun, of this matter.

Instantly, the low chimes of bells began to slowly ring in the Zhan Manor.

This was an important call for the gathering of all the higher-ups of the Zhan Family for a meeting in the secret chamber!

The moment the bells rang, Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu were shocked! They already thought the worst of the situation, but they had never imagined that it would be this bad!

This matter required all the higher-ups of the Zhan Family to gather and discuss…

“Later, when we are in the secret chamber, just spill everything; do not conceal anything and don’t exaggerate anything!” Zhan Chang Song glared at his two sons and let out a long sigh. “Father doesn’t know how this matter will unfold, as to the fates of the two of you… resign it to the will of heaven!”

After saying this, Zhan Chang Song walked out. His usually upright figure seemed more slumped and he seemed to stagger! Helpless and without any choice, this father couldn’t say anything else. Because he knew that whatever he said would be useless.

The fates and lives of these two sons of his were no longer something he could determine anymore!

From start to end, he did not even reprimand them! But this also allowed Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu to truly understand the severity of this matter!

Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu exchanged looks, their faces completely pale!

In the secret chamber of the Zhan Family, the atmosphere was unusually heavy.

Right now, there were almost sixty people present, sitting around a long rectangular table. Opposite it, there was a layer of black curtain that blocked everyone’s vision. Was there someone else behind that black curtain?

Zhan Wu Yun sat at the head of the table. He looked like he was in his fifties, his cheeks red and rosy. But everyone knew that he only looked young—he was actually almost two hundred years old…

“The reason why I’ve gathered everyone today is because there has been a huge, unexpected incident in the Zhan Family.” Zhan Wu Yun said. Everyone had a calm expression, not showing any signs of anxiousness or curiousity.

Everyone present was a great master of different areas of expertise in the Misty Illusory Manor! The great power and influence in the hands of these people made not many matters worthy of being called ‘huge matter’ in their eyes!

Zhan Wu Yun did not say anything else. He simply clapped his hands and someone brought in the two brothers, Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu. “The two of you, go through everything in detail!”

Everyone present was an important pillar of the Zhan Family’s strength. There were no problems about information being leaked!

Zhan Qing Feng begin to recount the entire situation in detail: how he went along with the instructions of the family to plot against Mo Jun Ye, but had the tables turned around and got humiliated. Then because of their anger, they sent six Venerables to assassinate Mo Jun Ye, but there has been no response.

The entire secret chamber was in a state of silence.

After the two of them were done, the entire secret chamber was agitated.

“That means to say that not only did the Zhan Family lose our quota for the Spiritual Herbal Gardens, we also lost a request that we cannot refuse? And there is also a possibility that we’ve put the evidence in their hands?”

A young man frowned. “The two of you did such a terrible job on this matter! When has the Zhan Family ever lost so much face? This is a complete disgrace, ah!”

“Exactly. What were the two of you doing?! Did you not do any basic research? Doing things so recklessly, and so easily defeated by the other party… The entire great situation has been ruined by the two of you!”

Everyone began to berate.

Knock knock.

Someone lightly knocked against the table. It was not loud, but it had an air of complete power and might!
