191 Another Windfall! (2/2)

”Let’s first run through the four nations’ follow-up plan before going to the casino tonight,” Han Sanhe said in a low voice.

He earned nods from the other old marshals.

Perhaps the biggest boon he gained from coming here this time was the four-empire-plan he had come up with the other old men in these past few days…

Other than that, everything else was a total flop.

”If it’s possible… this old man hopes that…”

Han Sanhe’s voice was soft like a buzzing mosquito. ”Yutang can be taken down… or completely annihilated… by our hands. My old brothers, we have to keep our spirits up. We afford any careless mistakes on our side.”

”Of course.”

”Naturally!”

”We feel the same!”

…

Yun Yang had only rested for a short while once he arrived home before he turned into a soft breeze in his room and left hurriedly for the Residence of Nine Supremes.

He could not afford to skip the visit and he could not be late as well.

Too many experts had died inside last night; what was more, there were six high leveled mystical beasts that had also expired. If Yun Yang had tarried in his visit, the mystical pills of these six mystical beasts would be directly turned into refined energy by the Nine Heavens Demesne.

The six mystical beasts, especially those six mystical pills, were a huge source of wealth to Yun Yang, who was as poor as a pauper now! He could not just let them dissolve into nothingness.

As the night fell and darkness swept across heaven and earth, the Residence of Nine Supremes was still engulfed in a fog of clouds. The only similarity between the nightfall and the residence was probably the sense of invisibility they shared.

A soft wind blew; Yun Yang had entered the Residence of Nine Supremes without a sound, stealthy and utterly undetectable.

About nineteen corpses lay scattered on the ground made of unknown material. The cause of death was the same; all of them were burned black, even their bones were charred.

Yun Yang sighed softly.

He had hoped that these people might have carried something valuable with them when they entered so that he might earn an extra windfall. One could not blame Yun Yang’s greed for wealth now that he would not even let the dead ones go; he was truly impoverished. He was dirt poor; even the ground was cleaner than his state of wealth!

It was too bad that by the looks of it, even if the experts from other countries had carried banknotes or other items of value, they had all become charred remains now that their owners had fallen in the Residence of Nine Supremes.

Despite the disappointment, Yun Yang did not waste his effort to come here because there were some glittering items on the ground that would be worth his trip. Yun Yang picked up the glimmering pieces one by one. There were actually a hundred and ten mystical stones, amongst which were a dozen mystical crystals as well...

This would make up a good amount of fortune.

There were also a few weapons that could be of use. These were weapons that the martial artists had carried with them; they must be of extraordinary quality to be able to remain unscathed in the Nine Heavens Demesne’s storm. Yun Yang did not lay a finger on them though – he already had the Divine Edge, no other weapon could attract his interest anymore. Besides, these people had died in the Residence of Nine Supremes. If he took these weapons out to sell or trade, it might give something away, exposing himself to unnecessary scrutiny.

Yun Yang was delighted at his gains over the other side; it was the highlight of Yun Yang’s trip anyway – the six mystical beasts.

Upon checking, the highest level of these six beasts had reached intermediate of the eighth level while there were three beasts that were just beginners of the eighth level. The weakest two of the six were also at the pinnacle of the seventh level. Of course, the real surprise was that the corpses of these mystical beasts remained unscathed as well.

It was obvious that the endurance of mystical beasts towards natural forces was much stronger than that of humans.

The Residence of Nine Supremes’ clouds had gathered over by now, absorbing the spiritual Qi that was sizzling in the air into their fog. It was lucky that Yun Yang had arrived when he did. If he were to be any later, the two corpses of the seventh level pinnacle mystical beasts would have been ravaged by the clouds.

Yun Yang, who knew well about the Nine Heavens Demesne’s force, dared not tarry. He unsheathed the Divine Edge at once, intending to collect the mystical pills, yet he stopped just as he was about to begin his work.

The moment that the Divine Edge appeared and gleamed coldly, the fog around him had somehow swirled away from him as if avoiding the steel's stern gaze.

The area within a hundred feet radius of where Yun Yang stood was clear, devoid of any fog or clouds!
