Chapter 798
Following the sound of a voice, everyone looked up .
Far away, a youth in black walked slowly over with his hands clasped behind his back . His face was wreathed in a warm smile, and his expression was leisurely and casual, as though he was walking through his own garden . The thousands of people on the battlefield parted like the red sea, forming a passage for him through the carnage . It was as if an immortal had come to visit from the heavens .
The ground was filled with thick, sticky fresh blood that covered one's soles completely . However, the powdered soles of the youth's shoes were not stained at all .
He walked over casually, neither fast not slow . Looking at the sword wielding soldiers around him and at the river of blood under his feet, he raised his voice and lamented . "Since ancient times, the path of kings is an emotionless one . So what if its kin murdering their own blood? While gazing upon fortresses and mountains picturesque as a painting, their feet are filled with white bones!"
As he spoke, he had already walked and reached less than 10 zhang away from Tian Xiang's Yang Huai Yu . His black pupils carried an evil gleam as he tilted his head and looked at this emperor at the end of his path . Smiling lightly, he said, "Your Majesty is truly in a good mood! To think that you're capable of lecturing your failure of a son in such a righteous manner right in the midst of a raging battle where blood and tears rain through the sky… What a loving father, how touching and admirable…"
He shook his head lightly as a lonely expression came over his face . Sighing heavily, he continued . "It's a pity… I cannot even see my father anymore… or hear him lecture me! As a son, how can my heart not ache? The tree craves stillness, but the wind will not abate . The son wants to serve his parents in their old age, but they are no more! Your Majesty… this feeling is truly hard to describe with words ah . Tell me, isn't it so? You've lost two sons in quick succession, and the last one is attempting to kill you and wrest the throne away . Your Majesty can probably clearly understand the pains of this commoner?"
The Emperor's eyes flashed with pain, as well as a deeply hidden fear . Furrowing his eyebrows tightly, he snorted . "Jun Mo Xie, this matter is ultimately an internal problem of my Imperial Family . What are you here for? Who are you representing today, unless… your Jun Family hasn't made enough trouble yet?"
Jun Mo Xie chuckled lightly . "Your Majesty jokes . How could that be? Since when has our Jun Family created any troubles? Ever since that incident at Tian Guan Lin 10 years ago, our Jun Mo Xie no longer dares to create any trouble…
He rolled his eyes and suddenly, a sharp gleam shot out from his pupils . His tone turned from gentle to exceptionally dominating and pressuring . "Your Majesty, do you perhaps… still remember Jun Wu Hui of that year?"
The Tian Xiang Emperor's face twitched, and his expression grew dark . "Do not speak falsehoods in the face of a sincere man . What do you want to say? Go ahead and say it directly!"
The moment Jun Mo Xie appeared, the kingly pressure that the Emperor had built up with great difficulty actually disappeared in an instant! Facing Jun Mo Xie, he even seemed a little… frightened… and guilty .
Jun Mo Xie smiled lightly, completely unfazed . "Your Majesty, why are you losing your temper already? That imposing demeanor of yours nearly scared this commoner to death! Your Majesty asked what this commoner was trying to say? It's actually really nothing much . This one only wishes to ask Your Majesty; how does it feel like to watch your eldest son get killed under your own eyes inside the sparkly palace with a blade through the heart, at the place where your authority is the highest?"
He continued smiling warmly, but his eyes gleamed like a pair of swords . "Anyways, the deceased has already departed . The dead is dead, and if Your Majesty does not wish to talk about it, so be it . But the murderer of your first son is your own second son . He became a traitor because he killed his own royal kin . What are your thoughts on that? And today, your third son was also chopped into minced meat by the same culprit . I'm sure the feeling of watching this must be very enjoyable? It's probably something that none of us outsiders can comprehend…
"As for right now, the last surviving son is raising his sword against his own father . Murdering his father and his sovereign, accomplishing his own ambition . Does your heart hurt? But this kind of feeling, should be quite unforgettable right?
"Or maybe, Your Majesty can look forward to it a little . The kingdom that you've reigned over is finally about to be like a chrysanthemum on the morrow, withering to a thing of the past . You yourself will be forsaken by friends and allies, rebelled against by the masses, turning into an isolated creature . Does it bring you a bit more comprehensions on life?"
The Emperor suddenly trembled with rage as he stared at Jun Mo Xie with wide, hate-filled eyes/ "Jun Mo Xie, could it be that all this was because of you schemed behind my back? How vicious!"
"Oh I wouldn't dare to claim that honor . Compared to Your Majesty, I'm at most only considered a small sorcerer in the presence of a great one . This series of events is simply nothing more than people being driven crazy by power . I only played a tiny part in this whole thing; truly! This commoner would never dare to deceive Your Majesty the Emperor!"
Jun Mo Xie smiled lightly, as if he were talking about an extremely insignificant matter . Shaking his head, he looked over with a ridiculing look . "Do you feel like the matters of the world are somewhat inconstant? What was once the sea has now changed into mulberry fields . Do you feel any lamentation about the evanescence of worldly affairs, and how time brings great changes to the world? Hahaha…"
