401 Take It All! (1/2)

Yun Yang immediately recalled something. The master Mi Kongqun had mentioned should be this very same eunuch… It seemed that the Four Seasons Tower’s Supreme Lord Summer was Ziyou’s Minister of Imperial Household. Would it be this man then? If it was this old fellow, he would very likely have a higher cultivation base than Supreme Lord Spring Frost!

Perhaps the Four Seasons Tower’s Four Seasons Supreme Lords each had a cultivation base of heaven realm and Supreme Lord Spring Frost was only the weakest among them? He then thought about Supreme Lord Spring Frost being severely injured many years ago…

In Yun Yang's mind, things began to fall into place.

As if feeling Yun Yang’s gaze upon him, the old eunuch lifted his head indifferently and glanced at Yun Yang with a dead-eyed stare. Yun Yang nodded at him with a smile as the old eunuch lowered his head humbly and followed the emperor out.

Yun Yang wore a gentle smile and warm gaze, but his in heart, he had viciously killed the old man countless times.

If it had not been this old thing, Yun Yang might already have taken the Empire of Ziyou’s emperor hostage in exchange for Old Dugu! Now that this old thing was here, Yun Yang could not afford to act rashly.

Truth be told, he dared not act at all, rashly or otherwise. Not only would he fail, he might only succeed at getting himself killed instead.

Yun Yang, who had lost his manifestation powers, was only a normal cultivator of beginner heaven realm. To contend with a high-level force whose real ability was unknown was utter folly; his chance of winning was a slim one. What was more, he was right in the canter of the enemy country’s capital.

Without further interruptions, His Majesty left. The words that had sent him away, though, finally attracted Yun Yang’s attention.

”Your Majesty, the capital and the nearby locations have finished assembling the troops.”

This was the reason the emperor had left.

It was night now.

What were they doing, gathering the army at night and having the emperor over?

There was only one possibility.

The time for war had arrived.

It was obvious who their enemy would be.

Yun Yang felt a weight in his heart.

Time.

He was trapped here and he could imagine what sort of pressure Yutang would face once the war began.

Yun Yang decided that he had to return as soon as possible.

When His Majesty had left, he left two boxes behind as well, as the crown prince and two expert guards who had come with him.

Lan Wuxin was awash with gratification, utterly honored by this grand gesture.

One of the boxes was the Empire of Ziyou’s imperial jade seal! The other box contained the meteorite that had fallen from the sky so many years ago.

The siderite had existed since the Empire of Ziyou’s establishment and had just been lying there for so many years. The royal academicians would naturally study it, but it was futile as the only conclusion they had arrived at was that the item was extremely heavy and was at least a hundred times heavier than mystical steel of the same size!

Mystical steel was already heavy, usually ten times heavier than common refined steel, but this siderite weighed a hundred times more. It was only imaginable how hefty it was. There was a subtle feeling of it falling anytime whenever it was placed on a table. The four table legs had already pressed marks into the sturdy floor of the hall.

The furniture in the Residence of Chancellor, especially those in Lan Wuxin’s study, was the best of the best. The table that bore the weight of the two boxes was made of top-grade Crimson Wood; it was no chore for it to hold one or two thousand catties of weight, but looking at the current scene, it was obvious that the piece of siderite was a terribly heavy object indeed.

Yun Yang could not help feeling a rush of emotions.

Indeed, a figure who could become an emperor was no simple character.

This emperor of Ziyou had brought along two pieces of exquisite treasure, but he had not at all mentioned it when conversing with Yun Yang!

The generosity and elegance contained within his actions impressed Yun Yang and had him shaken a little.

If he were not Yutang’s Supreme Cloud but the true legendary God of Wine, Feng Xiange, he would still be caught off-guard by such treatment.

It was like hearing a strike of thunder where it was soundless.

This emperor’s skill in playing with power and manipulating people was remarkable!

”It’s hard to doubt why the Empire of Ziyou could maintain its edge all these years. With such a generous leader endowed with such a bold vision, his nation would escalate easily as long as he was adept at governance. Each of these enemies Yutang faces is a hero of their time – it would make sense that these times arechaotic and full of unrest.” Yun Yang thought quietly to himself.

A hero would definitely be known in times of war.

There would also be brilliant emperors in such times! However, if each contending nation had brilliant monarchs, then the war for hegemony would definitely be one that endured through the ages and colored the land red!

…

We have both the imperial jade seal and the siderite now!” Sun Chengfeng was beyond delight and a little impatient.

Yun Yang nodded nonchalantly and said, ”That’s right. Let me check if the core is inside, hopefully, we won’t be disappointed.”
