944 Brothers, Bundled Up To Hell (1/2)
Little Fatty packed up the spiritual jade the fastest he could and organized the many treasured books that Yun Yang had brought back into the martial warehouse. Then, he took two people with him and hurried down the mountain.
Dong Qitian's gaze was thoughtful as he watched Little Fatty leave, full of ambition, mumbling to himself, 'Justice must not come cheap? Justice must not come cheap?'
He suddenly heaved a long sigh, ”Ah, the human heart…”
…
On the next day, early in the morning, Yun Yang was meditating and cultivating to stabilize his cultivation base that had just touched the Saint level when the mountain guarding formation was triggered.
Shi Wuchen was the first to come back, followed by two middle-aged men. Both of the latter was tall, clad in black; their gazes were piercing, exuding an aloof and unapproachable aura. They were similarly lean and sculpted, equally cold and distant. If it were not for their completely different faces, people would have thought that they were twins.
”Boss, this is Serene Soul of Nine Springs, Kong Luoyue, and this is Young Master of Dark Fog, Shi Bujia.”
The two men who had returned alongside Shi Wuchen were members of the Demiurge-Flawed Ten!
As Yun Yang's sight shifted to them, both of them wrapped their palms in their fists and chanted in unison, ” Would this be Lord Supreme Cloud?”
Yun Yang returned the gestured with a self-deprecating reply, ”I am Yun Yang. The both of you…”
”We'd be delighted to join the Residence of Nine Supremes. May we ask which Supreme we will be titled as?” both men asked simultaneously.
How direct! Yun Yang had not even given his welcoming speech yet.
Rolling his eyes, Yun Yang answered, ”It'll depend on each person's capability to decide who will take on the mantle of which Supreme… The Residence of Nine Supremes has only two Supremes currently, that is Shi Wuchen as Supreme Sword, and myself. The rest are still undecided.”
”That's not an issue. We'll fight based on our capabilities. That would be fair. The both of us still have one request – we hope that Supreme Cloud will agree to it,” said Shi Bujia.
”Do speak,” Yun Yang replied.
”You're the creator of the Residence of Nine Supremes. It's only right that you are one of the main Supremes. However, what contribution or merit did Shi Wuchen make that he dares take the place of the second Supreme? We ask for you, the chief Supreme, to cancel Shi Wuchen's title as the Supreme Sword and for us to contest for it. I believe that this is the unanimous opinion of all the Residence of Nine Supremes' members!”
”Agreed! Happily so!” Kong Luoyue voiced out with a straight face.
Shi Wuchen was enraged.
”F*ck all of you! I've traveled thousands of miles without a single word of complaint despite the effort and invited the two of you with brimming sincerity, yet you burn the bridge after crossing it and shoot arrows right into my back!”
”Hmph…”
”Hmph…”
”We didn't release the arrows behind your back – we did it right in front of you!”
The two of them certainly resembled a pair of twins as they crossed their arms, giving a mocking glance as they tipped their chins, rolled their eyes, smirked and snorted at the same time.
”Alright, alright. I'm always democratic and ready to listen to everyone's opinion. When everyone is here after a month, we shall commence the first ranking meet of the Residence of Nine Supremes to see who takes the Supreme titles.”
Yun Yang laughed and continued by saying, ”Train hard for the following month, brothers! I've also prepared a chief instructor for everyone. He has high expectations, temporarily not having any disciple whom he could regard highly enough to train yet. Instead of everyone not doing anything, work together. You fellows will have to tough it out.”
All three men scoffed at the same time, snickering, ”Who is it who actually dares to become our chief trainer? Sure, we'll train, but it's hard to say who will be training who…”
”Heh, heh, heh…”
”Chief trainer, heh, heh…”
The three men were resolute, convinced that they were going to strong-arm their instructor when there was an opportunity to do so.
'Become our chief trainer? Does that not mean his position is above us? Just this title alone is already asking to be beaten up!'
'Ridiculous!'
Yun Yang coughed and replied, ”Time will tell regarding the training, but whoever among you follows who can beat the chief instructor will naturally replace him. Elites will be prioritized in the Residence of Nine Supremes; there's no intervention to your training exchanges.”
