300 Gathered at the Residence of Yun (1/2)
The rotund man snorted and said proudly, ”Of course the Nine Supremes Lords are like immortals, they’re the Empire of Yutang’s guardians! As long as the Nine Supremes Lords were here, our Yutang would be peerless in this world!”
The pride laced in his tone would have made anyone believe he was one of the Nine Supremes himself.
”However, the Nine Supremes Lords have already…” The middle-aged young lord sighed and said, ”The fight at Tianxuan Cliff took eight heroes, leaving one behind; it’s hard to do everything alone…”
”How would you know of Lord Supreme Wind’s mightiness?”
The fat man glanced at the young lord in disdain and said, ”I’ve personally witnessed Lord Supreme Wind’s almighty prowess. It was above Tiantang City, the barreling tornado connected heaven and earth – the valiance was earth-shattering! Everyone kneeled on the spot, as if they've seen deities. Perhaps Lord Supreme Wind has turned into an immortal…”
”Lord Supreme Wind. Tornado…” the young lord mumbled.
Snow was still fluttering outside while the people inside had nothing to do. Hearing someone talk about the Nine Supremes while being Yutang’s men themselves, they were naturally familiar with their heroes. They came forth to add a word of their own, sparking a heated discussion.
The old man and young lord listened and exclaimed in admiration while exchanging glances throughout the process. They finally understood the entirety of things now.
So this was the case!
The Tianxuan Continent had experienced many changes in the period of their family’s absence – the Residence of Nine Supremes, Nine Heavens Dictum, Nine Supremes!
It seemed that the person who had saved Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan was this Supreme Wind then – there was no doubt about it!
…
”Obviously it was the Nine Heavens Demesne that gifted the Nine Supremes the power of natural phenomena.”
”As for the Nine Supremes, to possess such abilities, yet still managed to get themselves annihilated, their combat power is not intimidating at all!”
”Young lord, this is a golden opportunity!” The insidious face of the old man dressed in black was alight with excitement.
”Correct, we mustn’t miss this godsend chance!” The young lord said slowly, his eyes glowing.
”Only our family has accessed the spiritual Qi passage for now. This time, it was initially opened for young lord’s cultivation – to find innately gifted mystical Yin and to obtain the Pure Yin of Chaos… The other families don’t know this about the Tianxuan Continent and have missed this remarkable cultivation method.”
The old man said, ”Still, the acquisition of the mythical cultivation method might not be completed anytime soon, especially with Supreme Wind being so mysterious; hardly anyone knew his real identity. It’s not too long after his ambush, so he must be even more cautious when concealing himself. There will be difficulties awaiting us if we were to investigate him.”
”If young lord doesn’t return and remained absent for too long, the other families might get suspicious. Any family that finds out about this cultivation method would definitely not let it go.”
The old man’s voice was hushed, a strong sense of warning filled his tone.
”Meaning?” The young lord smiled in amusement.
”This old servant means…” The black-robed old man gritted his teeth. ”Let the others go back first. Leave only a handful of people here with young lord, then seal the spiritual Qi passage. Make it look like young lord has returned.”
”Young lord, you have the Core Embodiment Jade. Use all your energy to activate the Core Embodiment Jade and notify our family to reopen the spiritual Qi passage. From there, we can return safe and sound.”
”With such great lengths taken, I believe the other families won’t have noticed this here.”
”When young lord returns then, it’ll also be in secret… I believe with a period of immersed cultivation, the young lord can go straight to the top of the Rising Dragon Ranking…”
”Agreed!” The middle-aged young lord’s breathing could not help but quicken when speaking of this as he said, ”With our cultivation bases, we should already be of pinnacle level in the worldly Tianxuan Continent. As long as we don’t provoke the mighty ones, the rest are too insignificant to be mentioned.”
”At worst, if we really intended to flee, no one could make us stay if we utilize our Conceptual Augmentation! This can work indeed.”
”If the young lord is decided, this old servant will arrange it now. Better early than late, it should be carried out as soon as possible.”
”Alright.” The young lord said decisively, ”Since there’s no need to keep plenty of people around, let it be just the two of us. The rest can go back, make a bigger ruckus there as a distraction.”
”We shall depart to Tiantang City tomorrow morning!”
”Yes!”
The previous change of events was unexpected to the young lord and black-robed elder, but they had adapted to it, being taken aback first before being delighted; it seemed that their critical situation had turned into a huge opportunity – what a great surprise!
On the other hand, it was thrill after thrill for Yun Yang. He was petrified from beginning to end. Anyone with a weaker state of mind would have been scared to death if he had not been struck dead first!
There was no other reason other than the exceedingly mighty prowess of the other party; it exceeded even the maximum limit of Yun Yang’s psychological endurance. The level he had endured and the degree of damage he sustained from this rescue mission were far greater than that time He Hanqing had injured him!
