605 Two More People! (2/2)
”Even if the Four Seasons Tower is incredibly powerful, there must be a limit to their reach. According to your understanding of the Four Seasons Tower, you should be rather self-assured in tackling the threats that come from there!”
Yun Yang grinned.
”Sigh, Young Master Yun's consideration is well thought through, but it's simply too bad that this approach is impossible to be executed upon us.”
Venerable Lord Snow was sullen as he spoke. ”Thank you for your kind intentions, Young Master Yun. It's not that the three of us do not wish to retire from the martial world and spend the rest of our days in peace and security. Because of what lies upon us, no matter where we go to, we are destined to be bereft of a safe haven as long as we're still in this continent. The Four Seasons Tower will find us at any time!”
Yun Yang was doubtful about that explanation. ”What's on you that's so important?”
The trio sighed glumly.
”Even then, the forces of the Four Seasons Tower in Tiantang City is basically gone. Despite their intentions, they should be of no threat to you within this short period. Am I right?” said Yun Yang.
”Young Master Yun's knowledge of Four Seasons Tower is scanty. The combat power the tower had displayed this time is only the tip of the iceberg. It is insignificant. The truth is… there are two more people around Tiantang City.”
The three of them chuckled bitterly. ”These two people have taken over the civil and martial sides respectively. They're tough characters to tackle. When they came in the past, they left after obtaining a rough understanding of the situation. They didn't partake in the planning; otherwise, our plans would never have gone as smoothly as they did.”
”Yes. These two are the real overseers of the Four Seasons Tower in Yutang,” Venerable Lord Snow sighed softly and said, ”They are... unpredictable. Even if we were to retire, we can never hide from the two of them.”
There was a flash of worry in Yun Yang's eyes, he said, ”Civil and martial, unpredictable? Could the reason behind your inability to retire be these two people? They have a certain way to track the three of you?”
”Not exactly but it cannot be denied these two are very powerful,” Venerable Lord Sword chuckled dryly.
Yun Yang spoke with ease, ”Does it mean that you can retire safely as long as these two people are taken down? If so, I'll help you manage them.”
The three Venerable Lords chortled depreciatingly in unison. ”Young Master Yun, we probably didn't explain it clearly earlier. What we commented about them taking charge of the civil and martial sides respectively is only in view of their inclinations when taking action. To see them through a cultivator's eyes, both of them are the mighty pinnacle forces in this world, incredibly wise. If they can be taken down so easily, we would have acted upon it long ago to sever these restraints!”
Venerable Lord Snow said with a dry chuckle, ”I'll only mention one incident and I believe that Young Master Yun will have a substantial understanding regarding these two people's abilities. Back when the Nine Heavens Demesne descended upon Yutang, it was the two of them who slipped into Tiantang City and plotted the conspiracy, laying things down so that the Nine Supremes had to go for the mission. A dragnet-like sealing formation was set up to exterminate Yutang's Nine Supremes in one go…”
”This isn't all there is to it. After they planned everything, they didn't make any more interventions. They withdrew themselves immediately, causing the entire incident to look like it had nothing to do with them. The truth was, however, that the series of schemes against the Nine Supremes, every link, and every step, would have followed their designed directions closely and were executed without any deviations.”
”The reality also proved that they've managed to calculate each and every link and step in the process!”
”Such intelligence is something we dare not even think about, no matter how highly we regard ourselves and how reluctant we are to belittle ourselves.”
Venerable Lord Snow said, ”Furthermore, the two of them have revealed themselves to the public in their individual identities. One seems to be a cultivation expert while another is just a helpless aide. We, on the other hand, know better!”
”Both of them are the mightiest experts who have reached the realm of returning to innocence. The three of us, even if the Five Venerable Lords were still here, could hardly harm either one of them even if we were to attack in unison!”
”How could someone like that not be terrifying?”
