937 Emerging Once More In The Mortal Realm (1/2)
In the midst of cackling laughter, Dong Qitian began to cry in agony.
A man of quintessential existence whose reputation was once feared across the world, the feeling of being defeated and locked up for so many years was indescribable. If one had not endured it, it was simply hard to describe in words.
With tears clouding his eyes, he observed the sight of Yun Yang still raising his sword and plunging it down mercilessly, very specifically targeting the stone pillar that imprisoned him and the other two buried at the sides of the stone wall…
Clang, clang, clang…
”Boy, what are you doing?”
”The quality of this Celestial Cotton Gold is truly amazing. I'm cutting all of them up to bring them back with me. If I just leave them here, it'll be as if I've turned up with nothing although I've been into a treasure cave.”
”Ah…”
”At least you gain something, no matter where you go. You said that this is a soul-sealing platform, did you not? This is a rather good item as well, we'll take it back with us!”
”I can understand that you would want to take the Celestial Cotton Gold and the soul-sealing platform, but is there anyone else who would dig through the poles like that besides you? Why are you being so meticulous? Do you think you're doing some needlework, or perhaps you simply have too much time to waste?”
”What are you talking about? The four pillars buried within these stone walls are clearly otherworldly items, or else they would've been destroyed when you tried to escape the Celestial Cotton Gold by transmitting energy through it. If it is of value, of course, I'd have to bring it back. You really don't know how expensive it is to manage a sect these days.”
”As a commandeering sect, I live most of my days in poverty.”
”I see...”
Yun Yang had extremely sharp eyes.
On one end of the chain forged from Celestial Cotton Gold which was concealed within the crevices of the stone wall, he could vaguely make out a few words carved into it.
That was the key.
Undoubtedly, this had to be brought back. If a certain someone ever paid us a visit, and if I'm unable to fight them off, I could just give them the chain. It shall be returned to its original owner — I'm just helping this elder stow it away for the time being…
Wouldn't that placate their wrath if the item was returned to its original owner? There might also be a possibility that they could strike up a good working relationship…
Yun Yang was calculating all such potential possibilities with the imaginary abacus in his heart.
Of course, his intentions could not be made known to Dong Qitian…
Boom!
Dong Qitian stared as Yun Yang stored everything away into his deific space. Suddenly, the entire mountain gave way — the pillars just happened to be the structural support to the hollow belly of this mountain.
The two of them dashed out quickly through the smoke and dust.
Dong Qitian was drenched in blood as he complained, ”Could you possibly be any more impatient? That cave was entirely supported by those few pillars. If you get rid of them all at once, its structural strength is going to just perish, so how would the cave even exist then?
Yun Yang threw him a sideways glance. ”Haven't you gotten enough of that place yet? Do you still miss it? If you do, you could've told me earlier!”
Dong Qitian inhaled huge gulps of the fresh, outside air. Watching the clear skies in the bright daylight, he felt extremely relaxed and carefree. He lapsed into a daze and did not hear a single word from Yun Yang.
He stood facing the sun on the mountain top for a long, long time. Tears of astonishment streamed down his face eventually, but it was followed by a sudden laugh as he bellowed towards the skies, ”I, Dong Qitian! I'm out! I'm out!”
”I'm out!!!”
”Hahahaha… The Bound of Universe! Dear opponents, I'm out! Did you hear me?”
