373 If I Leave, You’ll Have to Leave Too! (1/2)

Yun Yang felt that his luck was not all that bad these days.

Not only had he found his eldest brother’s child, he had pocketed a fair share of top-notch cultivation resources. Perhaps a portion of these things could be used on Bao’er to build up his foundation... yes, that would be a good choice.

However, Yun Yang’s dandy mood lasted less than a quarter of an hour before it was all gone.

Shui Wuyin’s message had arrived.

”I’ve found out what you wanted to know, boss.”

Yun Yang was actually stumped when he read the message – what information did I want to know? Why don’t I remember this?

He went to Shui Wuyin. ”What is it?”

Shui Wuyin was taken aback as well. ”The information that you mentioned? About the Empire of Ziyou’s assassin? Didn’t you ask me to go find that out?”

Hit with sudden realization, Yun Yang chuckled and said, ”Oh, oh. Yes, right. What’s the situation?”

Shui Wuyin replied easily, ”This doesn’t actually have much to do with us. Unfortunately, the mess was no small matter.”

Yun Yang retorted with interest, ”Just tell me what it is! What bait are you using to lure me out?”

”Not only was this assassin caught by the Empire of Ziiyou’s experts, he was severely injured and close to death. The Empire of Ziyou wanted to sentence him, to formally to warn the world... more like putting up a precedence? Somehow, a major character has stepped out of line... Now, they’re in an extremely awkward position!”

Yun Yang’s interest was piqued as he asked with a smile, ”What sort of extreme awkwardness?”

Shui Wuyin answered, ”It was said that this assassin was too severely wounded. Even with treasured resources of the heaven and earth, his life was barely supported. He was only maintaining the last breath of basic Qi. In spite of this, this major character still utters threats, refusing to obey nor submit.”

Yun Yang asked pondering, ”What major character it this, who has such an intimidating aura? Intimidating an empire is no mean feat.”

Shui Wuyin uttered mysteriously in a low whisper, ”Jun Moyan!”

Yun Yang was shocked before an ominous feeling surged through his heart. He stood up abruptly, his expression turned menacing. ”Who? Who did you say it was?”

”Jun Moyan! The Unrivaled Swordsman!” Shui Wuyin was shocked as well, frightened by Yun Yang’s expression. ”Boss, what is it? Why do you suddenly look so worried?”

Yun Yang could feel his heart palpitating, almost lurching out from his throat. ”This assassin, what’s his name? What does he look like? Why does Jun Moyan intervene? Do you have more information about this?”

”We really don’t know much more. The Empire of Ziyou is concealing all the news regarding this person. The intelligence we’ve gotten is already the outcome of a lot of effort. If more information is needed, then more work will need to be put in. You didn’t ask me to pay close attention to this, so the work done is naturally lesser.”

Shui Wuyin frowned, he could tell that something was amiss. Yun Yang’s response and attitude were certainly unusual.

According to Shui Wuyin’s knowledge, Yun Yang had sufficient resolve and shrewdness; he had always been one to maintain an indifferent front, despite any major news or changes.

When had he ever been this jittery?

Not only did his expression change, his gaze had become anxious, like an extremely terrifying and unexpected event was to happen!

Was this assassin related to Lord Supreme Cloud? Or maybe the Nine Supremes Lords?

”You don’t know anything else but the rough estimation of the assassin’s age?” Yun Yang questioned urgently.

”I really have no idea. This was negligence on my part.”

Yun Yang closed his eyes.

Of course, he knew that this was not Shui Wuyin’s negligence, but his previous order that made the latter neglect the need for further information. At this point, they did not even know the assassin’s age. If so, they might really not have any other information regarding this news.

The ominous premonition surrounding his heart grew stronger.

Why did Jun Moyan suddenly intervene?

Why did this assassin only ambush the higher authorities of the four nations but never Yutang’s men?

He patted the Medallion of Gratitude in his embrace and thought of Old Dugu.

The lonesome old man – seventh brother’s father!

Another family member related to the Nine Supremes who was still alive!

The more Yun Yang thought of it, the more panic filled him, draining him of color.

He had been searching for news on this old man but had never found out anything of import. Never did it cross his mind that the fragment of information that was now known and might be related to him would be terribly bad news!

The assassin was severely injured and near death, maintaining his last breath of basic Qi with treasured resources of the heaven and earth but might leave the world at any given time!
