845 The End Of Vengeance (1/2)
Yun Yang smiled faintly.
”This was clearly a set-up!”
”A set-up? Clearly?” Mr. Nian echoed dully with a sense of loss.
”That's right. This was a plot I set up painstakingly, a scheme that was aimed right at the Four Seasons Tower's core,” Yun Yang said softly, ”The top priority in achieving this act was that all those under the Four Seasons Tower had to die. For it to be accomplished by your cooperation was perfectly appropriate.”
Mr. Nian laughed in despair and self-mockery.
”I've always coordinated things well,” he said and could not help heaving a long sigh.
”Think about it. With how skilled all of you are, it would have been too easy if any of you had intended to escape or hide. It would have been like looking for needles in a haystack if I were to find all of you individually, given how big this world is. Even when I killed all of you, I would constantly worry if anyone got off the hook. However, if you were the one to do the dirty deed, no one would get away!”
”Sword, Snow, Frost, and Ice's God's Bones are another salient point that brought about this set-up.”
”I guessed that you'd collect God's Bones, doing whatever it takes at some point in time. Truthfully, I was also waiting for this chance. Your collection of the corpses and God's Bones was, precisely, the best opportunity for me.”
”Therefore, this was a set-up, one that you provided an excellent amount of collaboration too.”
Yun Yang said, ”I've told you everything about my plot. I'd like to know if Mr. Nian will follow through your promise and tell me the location of God's Grave.”
There was blood bubbling from the corners of Mr. Nian's mouth. Sticky, crimson liquid leaked and streamed from his lips as he said in despair, ”Of course I'll tell Lord Supreme Cloud.”
”You've won. All these should be yours to take!”
He looked at Yun Yang, his sharp gaze slowly fading. It seemed to be sympathy, it looked like ruthlessness… but they all vanished in a glimpse. He laughed and said, ”The God's Grave is in midair behind the Four Seasons Tower's headquarters. As long as you inject mystical Qi to support three points in three directions, God's Grave can be opened.”
”The convergence of God's Bones opens the pathway to heaven. One will be indomitable, becoming a deity! Yun Yang, all these are yours now!”
Mr. Nian laughed but it was a weak one. Finally, he smiled.
”The Four Seasons fall… the Four Seasons Tower… Heh heh… Lost – lost… Lost…” He repeated the word 'lost' dozens of times before his head lolled to one side and there was no longer any signs of breathing.
Yet, his body was still twitching. The power of God's Bones was still wreaking havoc within him.
A long time passed and with a loud explosion, Mr. Nian's body flew apart into countless pieces, eternally vanishing in this world. Simultaneously, a vigorous power slowly spread into the forest; its source the fifty-four pieces of God's Bones that now laid on the ground.
Each piece was crystalline and snow-white, shining and gleaming brilliantly.
Had the Four Seasons Tower only collected so few pieces of God's Bones after so many years?
A human skeleton consisted of more bones than this. If God's Bones were to replace all the bones in a complete skeleton, the Four Seasons Tower's endless time spent in the collection was only a meager start!
Looking at God's Bones, Yun Yang sighed softly and kept them all with a wave of his hand.
After some time, Yun Yang turned around to see that Ji Lingxi was staring at him. Upon realizing that she was being looked at, Ji Lingxi wore an incredibly bright grin and said, ”Well done! You've finally obtained your revenge and put an end to this lifetime of resentment.”
