Dongfang Wenxin’s words were not wrong. She was the person who understood Jun Wuhui the most!

With the unyielding and loyal character of the White General Jun Wuhui, how could he accept that only he lived?

With so many brothers that had died for him and so many years that had passed. Yet only you, Jun Wuhui, get to revive just like that?

Jun Moxie sighed. Who didn’t have a family of old and young to take care of?

“Moxie, this matter doesn’t need to be discussed anymore. Go on, just see to your own matters!” Dongfang Wenxin sat silently, gazing at Jun Moxie’s face with a gentle smile. “Be extra careful when you’re out there.”

Jun Moxie nodded his head. He completely understood the motherly love from his mother.

“When you return, let me host your wedding!” Dongfang Wenxin beamed, a radiant look of happiness across her face. “You mustn’t delay it anymore. Mother has been waiting for that day for such a long and torturous time…”

Jun Moxie felt an indescribable sourness surging in his heart, barely holding back his tears.

“There’s one more matter. It’s regarding those people at Tian Guanlin. I sent people over to fetch them back, but they refused to move. I’ve already sent men to deliver some necessities, and deliver warnings to the various countries to not take any reckless action, no matter what. Is Mother satisfied with this arrangement?” Jun Moxie said carefully.

“Those uncles of yours have deep bonds with your father. They will not leave;… they’re also just waiting for that day… that’s all.” Dongfang Wenxin smiled bleakly. “Leave them be. What you’ve done is already good enough… good enough…”

As he walked out of Dongfang Wenxin’s room, Jun Moxie suddenly felt as if the matters of the world… was just that intangible and vague…

That afternoon, Jun Moxie brought Mei Xueyan, Miao Xiaomiao, and Qiao Ying out of the Evil Monarch Manor. They traveled light and headed straight to the entrance to the Misty Illusory Manor!

Miao Xiaomiao was definitely needed to find the entrance into the Misty Illusory Manor. While Mei Xueyan was the biggest aid for Jun Moxie. As for Qiao Ying, she was brought out so she could clear her mind. After all, Qiao Ying was the most pitiful amongst all the women at the Evil Monarch Manor.

Qiao Ying had witnessed the disastrous battle between the two races previously… and definitely suffered some sort of mental trauma from it.

Jun Moxie was someone who had transmigrated from the modern world into the past. Thus he had some form of understanding on the ways of psychology. He understood that the pain in Qiao Ying’s heart needed to be resolved as quickly as possible. If it festered, it’d be too late.

Qiao Ying’s cultivation was originally at the realm of the Saint Venerable, and after moving to the Evil Monarch Manor, Jun Moxie had ceaselessly supplied her with numerous medicines to boost it further. Now, it had already reached the level of a fourth level Saint Venerable, and was one step away from the realm of a Saint Monarch.

Meanwhile, Miao Xiaomiao had already made swift progress during this period of time. She was originally a third level Venerable, but now, she was already a third level Saint Emperor! To leap across over ten levels in such a short period of time, even she felt as if she were dreaming. An advancement speed like this was one that no one could ever dream of.

To think that… there’s this method of cultivation in this world? Whoosh… And I’m already a Saint Emperor?

Unbelievable…

Women, ah! It’s really most practical to find a good husband, ah!

Of course, if this husband was one that she loved and loved her dearly, it’d be the most perfect!

These four people and their impressive cultivation allowed them to travel rapidly. They wouldn’t be as fast even if they traveled by horse.

The four of them traveled as fast as the wind, at shocking speed, Some passersby occasionally caught sight of them: three ethereal goddess-like women and a handsome lad coming from afar… but before they could get a good look, they had already gone past them… and vanished without a trace…

In merely four days, they had already arrived at that forest that linked the two dimensions.

It was the place Cao Guofeng and the other Saint Emperors brought Jun Moxie into. Jun Moxie suddenly felt a wave of deja vu as he looked at the smooth stone walls.

Miao Xiaomiao, aware that she was the ‘professional’ in the group, walked up to the stone wall, pressing her palms against it. She channeled her energy as a small crystalline ball of light appeared on her hands. That light was gentle and bright, as if it was permeating through the stone walls…

As the ball of light grew bigger, a layer of ripple slowly formed in the surrounding air, as if a small pebble was tossed onto the surface of a still lake. The ripples grew bigger and bigger, as it slowly spread out.

A faint door seemed to be appearing vaguely.

Beads of perspiration began to appear on Miao Xiaomiao’s forehead, as a look of shock filled her eyes.

It had never been this difficult in the past, ah!

Why is it so difficult this time?

It didn’t take long for her to activate the door back when she was still a Venerable! Now with such great improvement in her cultivation, it should be even easier! But why was it like this?!

While she was filled with confusion, there was a sudden hong. Miao Xiaomiao groaned as her petite frame was sent flying out from the great impact.

Jun Moxie reacted quickly and caught her in his arms and channeled his Qi into her immediately, preventing Miao Xiaomiao from sustaining any injuries. That faint door flickered and vanished suddenly.

“What happened?” Mei Xueyan and Qiao Ying ran over to join them quickly. They did not know the matter about the door to the Misty Illusory Manor, and had thought that Miao Xiaomiao wasn’t skilled enough, or used the wrong technique, which resulted in the door being unable to be opened!

Jun Moxie had also encountered this door before. When Cao Guofeng and the rest brought Young Master Jun into the Misty Illusory Manor, they went through this same door, and it didn’t take much effort either. Miao Xiaomiao’s current cultivation had surpassed them greatly. Jun Moxie may not have figured out why this had happened, but he already had a bad feeling about it!

A faint trail of blood appeared on the corner of Miao Xiaomiao’s lips. But with Jun Moxie’s Qi channeling into her, though the impact was great, it was not a major issue. Yet her expression was extremely solemn. “The door to Misty Illusory Manor cannot be opened anymore!”

“The Misty Illusory Manor cannot be accessed anymore?” The trio was stunned!

“In the past, I was merely a Venerable, but I could use this door to sneak out secretly. You only need to know the technique to open this door; it’s not difficult. But this time, I’m already a Saint Emperor, but I cannot open it even with all my might! Something must have happened inside the Misty Illusory Manor,” Miao Xiaomiao said.

“The entrance and exits of the Misty Illusory Manor are all the same. My guess is that… if it cannot be opened from the outside, they also won’t be able to open it from the inside.”

A look of worry filled Miao Xiaomiao’s face. “In other words, no one can enter or exit the Misty Illusory Manor right now! Which means that it is completely separated from the Xuan Xuan Continent!”

The trio was stunned into silence!

They had also realized the reason why there was no news coming from the Misty Illusory Manor for such a long time! So it turned out that for some reason, the Misty Illusory Manor had been completely separated from the Xuan Xuan Continent!

Which meant that they could not enter the Xuan Xuan Continent even if they wished to!

“What should we do now?” Miao Xiaomiao looked at Jun Moxie helplessly, a look of panic and anxiety in her eyes. It seemed like only Jun Moxie can solve this problem now.

Jun Moxie was also at a loss about what to do. Young Master Jun may be confident of his divine ways, but he didn’t have the slightest inkling when it came to such matters. How could he come up with any good ideas?

“En… How many portals connect the Misty Illusory Manor to the Xuan Xuan Continent in total?” Jun Moxie asked.

“It seems like there’s a total of six. This is one of them. There’s one more on the grasslands to the north of Tian Xiang City. The others are located on the edges of the Continent.” Miao Xiaomiao explained. “Because our appearance can be very sudden and scare people… we chose to locate them in less populated areas.”

“Which means… if we wish to try entering from the other portals, we probably will have to go on a tour of the entire continent?”

Miao Xiaomiao rubbed her sleeves and answered meekly. “More or less… That’s what it means…”

Jun Moxie stumbled, almost falling to the ground. “Sis, do you know how big the continent is?” Mei Xueyan and Qiao Ying were also amused. Even if Jun Moxie were to use the Yin Yang Escape Art and travel at maximum speed, it would take him at least two months to complete one round around the continent!

And this was an estimated timing that could only be achieved by not eating or drinking the entire time… Only moving constantly…

“Then… lass… The sudden lock down of this portal… do you think it’s man-made or caused by natural reasons?” Jun Moxie rubbed his head, feeling his scalp prickle as he obtained this information.

“It definitely is caused by someone!” Miao Xiaomiao said confidently. “The Misty Illusory Manor has existed for tens of thousands of years! Since when has any natural disaster caused it to be sealed off! How could there be such a thing!”

“If it’s done by someone, then we can still figure out a way to try again.” Jun Moxie sighed helplessly. “We can only try our luck. No matter how stringent a lockdown caused by someone is, there will definitely be a flaw somewhere; we can only try our luck and see if there’s any door that isn’t sealed completely shut.”

“But there are no big hopes on this.” Jun Moxie said. “If it’s caused by someone, then it must have been Zhan Kuang! And only something as divine as the Nine Illusory Quicksand would be able to cause the doors to the Misty Illusory Manor shut off completely! Zhan Kuang has always done things in a ruthless manner, so he will definitely not leave many gaps… So you shouldn’t get your hopes too high.”

The hopeful look that had just appeared on Miao Xiaomiao’s face instantly dulled…

“Let’s just head over to Tian Xiang to take a look. It’s not too far from here,” Jun Moxie said. “But this time, we don’t have to travel in such a hurry anymore. Let’s enjoy the scenery as we move. If we reach north of Tian Xiang and the portal cannot be opened, then it’s meaningless to try and head to the other portals. We shall just wait over there.”

The three girls instantly agreed.

And thus, the group of four headed over to Tian Xiang.
