494 The Nine Supremes at Tianxuan (1/2)
Han Sanhe had gone back to rest more than two hours ago, but Zhan Ge was still deep in thought, perched at the top of the mountain.
He was determined to fight to the death!
Zhan Ge's gaze burned brighter as his resolve grew increasingly stronger.
…
Fu Baoguo asked, ”Has the Old Marshal's carriage gone on its way?”
”It left the base four hours ago!”
”Good! Has Young Master Yun left as well?”
”We didn't see him, he should have left with Old Marshal too!”
”Good! That's good!”
Fu Baoguo breathed out slowly. ”Now, I can finally attend to this battle and fight to my death without any more worries!”
…
Yun Yang unleashed his powers and sped like a wisp of smoke towards Tianxuan Cliff, concealed by the dark night.
The Temple of Nine Supremes stood at the highest point of Tianxuan Cliff and it was Yun Yang's destination right now.
”I'm sorry, my brothers… I have to take this step after all… The peril of subjugation gives me no more room to hesitate!” Before long, Yun Yang stood in front of the Temple of Nine Supremes, alone in the nightfall.
The Temple of Nine Supremes loomed right before his eyes.
”Majestic Yutang, Glorious Nine Supremes” – the words on the door stopped Yun Yang and he stood there for a long time. He looked at the words; it was these words that had led to endless slaughters and blood debts!
It was a moment later that he slowly stepped into this familiar place that he had parted with some time ago.
Standing in the foyer alone, and glancing at the statues of the Nine Supremes, Yun Yang was at a loss. It was like he had become one of the nine statues, no longer belonging to the human realm.
”If things hadn't come to the worst, I really wouldn't want to use your powers…”
Yun Yang murmured, ”I am truly under pressure now… No matter how reluctant and unwilling I am, I would never have wanted you all to see what is to happen… If Yutang were to fall, I would be ashamed to see all of you in the underworld, so…”
…
Aside from Yun Yang, there probably was no other person in this world who knew that there was a huge secret of the Nine Supremes hidden here at the Tianxuan Cliff.
The ambush on that fateful day at Tianxuan Cliff had used the Spiritual Restraining Formation to seal Nine Supremes' power within their physical forms. It was after that battle that Nine Supremes perished, becoming the biggest catastrophe to befall Yutang for nearly hundreds of years.
The Nine Supremes had fallen.
However, it was also because of the spiritual restraint that their powers did not dissipate after their deaths, sealed in the vicinity of the cliff. Other than belonging to Residence of Nine Supremes, to heaven and earth, the power had been sealed in the area without any decrease in potency, even after their owners had died.
The humans had died, but the powers remained!
