556 Ask for Help! (1/2)
”All in all, for you three to seek out the Hall of Crimson Blade, provoke The Merciless Tower, and even cause the emergence of the Dictum of Death, it's a matter that you can be righteous and fervent about!”
”Whether the Bone of Ice God is on the inside or supports the three of you on the outside, the Four Seasons Tower will have to extend their help.”
”It doesn't seem too hard for you to drag the Four Seasons Tower into this whirlpool, does it?” Yun Yang asked.
”When the relief troops arrive, just lead them and go through a few battles; kill a few more enemies. When the time comes and you think it's enough, leave immediately. The Four Seasons Tower won't be able to leave, they'll have to continue being tangled in this mess until one side is completely annihilated. Don't you think so?”
”Even if the three of you don't want to leave and want to complete your vendetta – as long as you don't show any evident weakness or hesitation, the Four Seasons Tower will never give up on you three!”
Yun Yang continued in disbelief, ”Consequently, I really don't understand what you were thinking – why do you all think that you have no backup support? My dear Venerable Lords, you obviously have the world's most powerful relief assistance on your side!”
”In fact, why do you think the Dictum of Death is being used?” Yun Yang asked, ”Could it be for the three of you? No! Of course not!”
Yun Yang cried out, willing them to understand him, ”The Dictum of Death is actually being used to target the Four Seasons Tower!”
Venerable Lord Snow's eyes sparkled brighter. Exchanging a look with Venerable Lord Sword and Frost, all three of them were filled with realization.
They thought to themselves, ”That's right! We didn't see ourselves as the Four Seasons Tower's men and we know all about its secret to us! But the crux lies at the fact that Mr. Nian and the others don't know about it! Just like Yun Yang said, the current case is like another Lei Dongtian battle!”
”Hmm… good idea!” Venerable Lord Snow agreed while stroking his chin.
”Not bad.” Venerable Lord Sword's eyes were gleaming; his aura returning to one of ferocity and not its previous lifelessness.
”Wise and clever indeed, how impressive.” Venerable Lord Frost watched Yun Yang with glee.
Obviously, the trio had already thought of what to do next and how to do it.
”Now that we're done discussing the best and second best method, let us talk about the worst one. It isn't very…”
Before Yun Yang could finish, he was cut off by Venerable Lord Snow, ”No need to speak of the worst way. We'll use this second best method. It's already the best countermeasure currently available!”
Yun Yang was exasperated. ”Listen to me first, this worst way…”
”We won't use it after you finish anyway, what's the use of talking about it? You'll only waste your saliva while we waste time!” Venerable Lord Sword spoke with righteous pride, ”We'll fix it like this.”
Yun Yang shut his mouth right away. What a decisive bunch indeed, he thought to himself sarcastically.
”Since the three of you have made your decision, I won't say any more. But I'll have to remind you again.” Yun Yang continued, ”When your support comes, you must watch your emotions, expressions, and other aspects. Restrain yourselves, don't reveal the truth of what you are feeling; otherwise, the three of you are finished.”
Venerable Lord Snow was unhappy and replied, ”How many years have we roamed this martial world? Do you really think we don't know these basic things?”
Yun Yang nodded and grinned but muttered inwardly, ”I'm actually scared that you three dummies don't know about it at all…”
”Better hurry, I'll contact the tower immediately.” Venerable Lord Snow stood up abruptly. ”They've sent the Dictum of Death. Tianxuan Continent's notable killers aren't a small number for sure. If we act any slower, by the time the relief troops arrive, we'd already dismembered. That would be bad.”
Yun Yang agreed. ”That's right, the sooner the better!”
”It's decided then!”
Venerable Lord Frost looked at Yun Yang with squinted eyes, his smile meaningful. ”Young Master Yun, you're Yutang's most loyal official indeed. How much effort you must have spent to find fault for the Four Seasons Tower – you must have done everything you could!”
Yun Yang was offended, saying, ”What do you mean by this, Venerable Lord Frost? Firstly, I'm helping you. Secondly, the grudge between the Four Seasons Tower and Yutang is irreversible. Should I not find trouble for them? Is it not appropriate?”
