837 The Final Battle At Tianxuan Cliff 19 (1/2)
A sense of realization struck Yun Yang. It was true that the thick mist obscured their vision, but Mr. Nian must have his unique way of sensing God's Bones. The thick layer of fog was not at all an obstacle to him. It seemed that God's Bones was certainly unusual!
In the end, Mr. Nian left three bodies on the ground and stood up. Gazing at Yun Yang, he spoke distantly, ”If Lord Supreme Cloud insists on your initial intention and wishes to take a few pieces of God's Bones to toy with, you can do it now. I ask for Lord Supreme Cloud to consider it as you go about the collection.”
He smiled quite sadly and said, ”The Four Seasons Tower's process of regathering God's Bones is bloody and damages the bodies, but we're rather careful. I hope Lord Supreme Cloud thinks about the deceased's remaining dignity.”
”Naturally.” Yun Yang nodded and forced a smile.
Honestly, Yun Yang was still very reluctant to let Mr. Nian fetch these corpses and God's Bones away easily. His cultivator instincts told him that his decision was largely inappropriate and contained a massive threat within it. The intuition was blatant and exceptionally tangible!
He could not, however, come up with any reason to stop this matter. Be it from a logical perspective, justice, martial world rule or culture and tradition, it simply could not be stopped.
The subordinates were already dead and their leader had come forth to gather their bodies without a care for the risks. How could he stop him? Could he be so inhumane? Would he rather watch the deceased become a pile of rotten meat? If he intended to do so, what state of mind was he actually in? Could he still be considered a man?
They had passed away. Death resolved everything, no matter how deep their resentment was.
If such a case were to spread out, Yun Yang's reputation would definitely be tarnished.
He could seek revenge, of course. It was without a doubt as it was justified. Yet he had already killed them. What else did he want? Must he crumble their bones and scatter their ashes before his vengeance be considered fulfilled?
That would be going way over the line!
Nevertheless, Yun Yang was certain that this had to pose some sort of issue. Even if Mr. Nian was sincere in risking his life to gather his men's remains, his personality suggested that there must be another reason – and that reason had to be the main factor.
Despite the nagging behind his mind, Yun Yang could not actually leave to retrieve God's Bone…
His enemies had already left, their corpses the aftermath. Was he going to dig a piece of bone from their corpses?
Yun Yang frowned and held an emergency discussion with Emmie.
”Emmie, I still think it's problematic. What do you think?”
”Ayaya…” Emmie was disdainful of Yun Yang's reaction.
'Anyone can see that it's problematic. Need it to be said? Need it to be asked?'
'Master, you're becoming more foolish by the day. Yet, people call you Supreme Wit. What's becoming of this world?'
”Now isn't the time to argue this, alright? I'm asking you how do I prevent it?”
'Ayaya…'
Emmie was clueless as well.
'I really don't know much about the human realm's conspiracies and plots. The Supreme Wit is helpless as well – what's more, I'm not even human. I'm only a plant. What can I do?'
Yun Yang's brow knitted together as his mind spun swiftly to consider the case.
Mr. Nian stood with his arms on his back, his cold, hawk-like gaze trained on Yun Yang. He could, of course, see Yun Yang's multiple doubts and woes; he might even know what Yun Yang was worried about, but he had never doubted for once that Yun Yang would not agree to his request.
Whatever perspective one considered his request from, it was utterly righteous. Anyone who was not incredibly maleficent or fiendish would never refuse!
Yun Yang was not only not a commoner, but he was also a famed heroic figure. He was a legend. How could he tarnish his brilliant achievements with a splat of during his final battle in this realm!
”Lord Supreme Cloud, do you still have any doubts?” asked Mr. Nian coldly. ”You can state them explicitly if you do. We are enemies. No matter what you do, it's simply a matter of course.”
”Since we found out Lord Supreme Cloud's real identity, all of the Four Seasons Tower recounted in retrospect other than surprise… Lord Supreme Cloud seems to already have God's Bone in his possession…”
