390 It Must Be Supreme Cloud! (1/2)

”Elder Yun may not know about this, but the current situation is only a temporary solution. This land devoid of spiritual Qi is only the beginning. If Elder Yun is free, this chancellor shall have a chat with Elder Yun to quell your doubts.”

As he spoke, Lan Wuxin exchanged a look with Zi Yuanxiang before saying, ”Let’s dismiss, everyone. I shall have a good talk with Elder Yun tonight.”

The group murmured their agreement and dispersed.

In Yun Yang’s small yard, Lan Wuxin ordered a few dishes to be made and sent over. He then began to explain the situation in detail.

”Elder Yun has been hidden from the secular world for years. Might I be bold enough to hazard that you might not be up to speed on what is going on in this continent?” Lan Wuxin asked.

”This old man has long been away from the worldly realm. Indeed, I am not clear of current affairs.” Yun Yang sighed bleakly, ”The bustling secular world has long been unrelated to this old man…”

”However, I see that Elder Yun is still concerned about his home country and have pointed your words at Ziyou’s national fate and its people’s livelihood. The passion remains, despite the passing of time and the vicissitudes of life! Elder’s nobility puts our generation to shame,” Lan Wuxin said in exclamation.

Yun Yang kept quiet for a bit and said wistfully, ”You think too highly of me. This old man is a man disconnected from the secular world and without the intention to step foot in it as well. How the Empire of Ziyou turns out is of no consequence to this old man.”

Lang Wuxin chuckled. He no longer had doubts about the identity of this person before him.

”Regarding the matter of this city becoming stale land, it is with reason. There is a purpose for this spiritually-restrained state. As long as this matter comes to an end, there will naturally be a way to recover the spiritual Qi. Everything is done for the empire’s vision, for the future,” Lan Wuxin said in a low voice.

”I would like to hear about it,” Yun Yang said calmly.

Lan Wuxin sighed and said, ”Elder Yun has only stepped back into the world for such a short while. I guess you may not know about Yutang’s Nine Supremes?”

”Yutang’s Nine Supremes?” Yun Yang frowned and lifted his head to meet Lan Wuxin's eyes. ”What is the Yutang’s Nine Supremes?”

Lan Wuxin was greeted with puzzlement in the other’s eyes and could not help but sigh as he said, ”Those are nine demons.”

”Demons?” Yun Yang looked startled.

He was not actually faking his shock.

It was his first time hearing someone proclaim Yutang’s Nine Supremes as demons.

After all, the Nine Supremes were legends to Yutang’s people; they were men of justice who had saved the nation and the people's lives in the eyes of Yutang’s higher authorities as well. Even to most of their enemies, Yutang’s Nine Supremes were heroic figures!

Among the nine of them, the Nine Supremes were all good, heroic people with benevolent hearts! Each one of them was courageous and forthright!

Comments like calling the Nine Supremes demons were really unheard of!

”So I’m a demon to people in other countries?” Yun Yang felt rather uncomfortable being in the enemy’s country and listening to the enemy’s comments about himself. It was truly an unpleasant feeling.

Lan Wuxin heaved a long sigh and said, ”It’s a really long story about Yutang’s Nine Supremes…”

Lan Wuxin proceeded to narrate everything from the Residence of Nine Supremes being bestowed by heaven, the appearance of the Nine Heavens Demesne and the Nine Supremes, to the battlefields of various nations being tackled by Nine Supremes continuously.

”Ever since Yutang had the Nine Supremes, the Empire of Ziyou has never had another victorious war. I still remember when the four empires have collaborated to attack Yutang with tens of millions of men in unison, attempting to finish Yutang off in a single war with several times more manpower than Yutang. However, the Nine Supremes emerged then. The wind blew and clouds swirled, the ground cracked and the heavens fell. The tides were turned instantly, a war that was destined to be victorious turned out to be a grand defeat!”

”All these years, the Empire of Yutang is right in the center of the continent and has always faced the invasion of other countries. They have had hard times, but the damage borne by the four other empires due to the war has also been tremendous. In five short years, the total number of Ziyou’s great men perishing in the battlefield has exceeded tens of millions!”

Lan Wuxin’s eyes were moist. ”More than tens of millions of Ziyou men were buried in the battlefield even when victory was close enough to grasp!”
