Excited, Yun Yang checked carefully and realized that the Lightning Cat, Whitey Five, had broken through the Lightning Cat Clan's level shackles, becoming the first Lightning Cat in Tianxuan Continent's history to break through to the fourth level. It was fourth level pinnacle! It was only a step away from breaking through to the fifth level.
Yun Yang's eyes almost popped out of his head at the sight of the Eclipse Panthers' advancement.
Eclipse Panthers, ninth level beginner mystical beasts!
This was clearly recorded in the Illustrated History of the Strange Beasts of the Mountains and Seas. There was no mistake about it. However, if the three beasts in his house continued to grow at a normal rate, they would at least reach the level of a Ninth Level Xuan Beast!
Not to mention, the Eclipse Panthers' ability had already soared to the fifth level intermediate standard!
This furry little ball-like creature already possessed a terrifying lethality!
Yun Yang could not help but feel more confident at this current situation.
A fox borrowing the tiger's might?
A man borrowing the beast's might?
…
The surprises did not stop there, they came one after another!
In the yard.
Fang Mofei and Lao Mei's faces were filled with excitement.
"How about you?" Fang Mofei asked.
"How about you?" Lao Mei was so excited that he was gloating.
"I'm at the seventh peak pinnacle now … I can step into the eighth peak anytime!" Fang Mofei was so excited that his tongue was trembling.
"I'm finally at the seventh peak …" Lao Mei was beyond excited. "I feel like I'm dreaming these days … If this goes on, I can challenge Dugu Chou next year …"
"Tsk …" Fang Mofei gave him the middle finger.
Challenge Dugu Chou?
Don't you think you're thinking too much, brother?
When Yun Yang walked out, both of them went up to him. "Young master, I have good news … Ah! Young master, you've broken through too? "
Yun Yang rolled his eyes.
"This is really a blessed land of Fengshui!" Fang Mofei felt that the Yun Residence's Fengshui was too good.
"I'm hungry!" Yun Yang's stomach rumbled.
"It's already done!"
Lao Mei winked proudly as the three men, three panthers, and a cat walked towards the dining hall.
The mystical beast meat was still piled up like a mountain.
However, Yun Yang, the glutton, felt nauseous at the sight of the mountain of fat. He felt full even before he had eaten. He sighed and sat down to eat.
Lao Mei and Fang Mofei had already started wolfing down the food.
It couldn't be helped. Eating with the Young Master was the best way to get food. If he didn't snatch it, he would really starve.
But this time, the two of them each ate a kilogram of meat before they realized …
This time, Yun Yang had only eaten a bowl of porridge, less than half a catty of mystical beast meat, and two slices of fruit. Then, he wiped his hands and mouth and stopped eating.
Is he … not eating anymore?!
Lao Mei was so shocked that he dropped the piece of bone he was chewing on. "Young master, you … you're full?"
"I'm full." Yun Yang looked at Lao Mei strangely. He had not realized it, but his eyes widened abruptly. "I'm full?"
Fang Mofei and Lao Mei lowered their heads simultaneously.
"I'm actually full!" Yun Yang continued to be surprised. "How much have I eaten? You're full?! "
Both of them were exasperated.
Yun Yang, who had checked his condition, went out to practice his martial arts. Only then did he return with a face full of joy. "Hahahaha … I'm full! Hahaha … I'm full! This young master is blessed by the heavens, I'm actually full today! "
If others had heard this, they might have thought that this fellow had been starving for many years.
Who would have known that Yun Yang was actually bursting with contentment?
Ever since he was injured, he had developed a problem of gluttony. After breaking through to the second stage of the Endless Divine Art, he had actually recovered so mysteriously.
While confirming that his gluttonous habit had been cured, Yun Yang realized something else that surprised him. The fact that his Endless Divine Art could attract mystical beasts could be concealed as long as he did not purposely use his cultivation method to stir up trouble!
This situation made Yun Yang heave a huge sigh of relief.
It was finally over!
Carrying such an uncontrollable superpower was really … a source of trouble!
There was another thing that surprised Yun Yang.
Towering Wind Pavilion was closed.
Everyone inside, along with Shui Wuyin, had disappeared without a trace. Shui Wuyin had said that he was leaving. Had he gone home?
However, Yun Yang had a feeling that there was a reason for this. He seemed to feel the two pairs of eyes that were staring at him, filled with endless suspicion.
Yun Yang had a feeling that Shui Wuyin would never disappear, nor would he leave. He had probably been waiting for his next move.
It looked like he had to explain it clearly when they met again. Otherwise, this would be a huge misunderstanding!
However, how was he going to explain it?
Once he tried to explain, it would involve everything. Even Yun Yang felt a headache coming on.
…
Tiantang City had been unusually quiet for more than ten days, so quiet that Yun Yang was not used to it.
No one from Cirrus House was looking for trouble.
The Board of Justice was still in a terrible predicament, searching for clues but to no avail.
The three noble families had finally stopped making a fuss in the Board of Justice, but it was a matter of opinion as to how angry they were. They had begun to wreak havoc in the Residence of Crown Prince. "Hand over Shui Yuehan!"
Where could the crown prince go to hand over Shui Yuehan? They were truly in a terrible predicament. Encountering these three fellows who were relentless, unreasonable, and unscrupulous, it was a huge headache.
All in all, the capital seemed to have returned to its usual state.
However, Yun Yang could feel the prelude of a storm. The undercurrents of the past had all disappeared in an instant!
Yun Yang had secretly activated the Nine Heavens Dictum's men to pay attention to these movements but to no avail.
"This is not a good thing!" Yun Yang's vigilance had risen to the highest point.
There must be something wrong when something was out of the ordinary!
"It's probably because the act of Shui Yuehan and Fu Guansan escaping from the prison was too obvious. The Four Seasons Tower must be investigating this as well. Although they can't be sure where Shui Yuehan has gone to, they have a better understanding of Shui Yuehan's background …"
"So … they'll realize it one day. Besides, they won't give up on the matter here. " Yun Yang thought to himself, "As long as there are still people from the Nine Supremes alive, as long as there's a possibility that they're still alive, they'll never give up!"
…
Other than dealing with the Four Seasons Tower's reaction, Yun Yang had another matter to attend to.
Tie Zheng had returned!
The first thing this legendary marshal had done after defending the Fortress of Resilience and rebuilding it was to cause a great disaster – Tie Zheng had massacred the Residence of East Defense's men until their blood flowed like a river!
The reason was treason!
The incident had stirred up an uproar. In the end, it was suppressed by the alliance of His Majesty the emperor and a few highly respected elders.
There was a reason why Tie Zheng would do so, or rather, he dared to do so.
As a famed general, his retreat had been ambushed during the battle and he was completely defenseless! To Tie Zheng, this was no doubt a great humiliation!
Even though the opponent was Han Sanhe, Tie Zheng would not admit defeat. He was not that stupid!
Therefore, after the battle, Tie Zheng's meticulous investigation finally found out that the incident was related to the Residence of East Defense!
Tie Zheng had his reasons but he had no evidence, at least no concrete evidence.
Actually, it was normal that he had no evidence. Since the other party had decided to do something that was no different from treason, there would not be any evidence left behind.
Therefore, Tie Zheng had raised his butcher's knife after half a month of hesitation and helplessness.
He might as well not argue with reason and be unreasonable for once!
"Even if I have my head chopped off, I won't let a traitor like this live!"
The Residence of East Defense was massacred!
Once the news spread, the censors and censors went wild with accusations; even His Majesty the emperor was troubled.
"Why did you kill so many officials of the imperial court?"
"Because they betrayed the country!"
"Do you have evidence? Is the evidence irrefutable? "
"No!"
"If you don't, then you're a traitor, acting recklessly, deceiving the emperor and ignoring the nation's law. You've committed a heinous crime!"
"I have evidence!"
"What evidence?"
"When Han Sanhe was fighting me, he could actually send his army to ambush my retreat and the point of entry was precise. It's impossible if there wasn't a traitor!"
"What kind of evidence is this? This is just your speculation! "
"This is irrefutable evidence!"
"You're being unreasonable!"
"This is the evidence!"
"…"
Indeed, in the eyes of the military, this matter was irrefutable evidence! Irrefutable evidence!
In terms of war, it was still understandable if the infantry had ambushed their retreat. After all, the infantry had many ways to break up and sneak in before quickly regrouping. They could even disguise themselves.
Now, however, their retreat had been ambushed by thirty thousand cavalrymen. That was an absurd claim!
Even a deputy general would not commit such an idiotic mistake, let alone a famous general like Tie Zheng!
There must be a reason for it to happen.
If they found out that this matter was related to the Residence of East Defense, then it was definitely related!
In other words, the massacre this time was definitely not a mistake.
Even Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan and Leng Daoyin dared to use their heads as a guarantee!
However, in the eyes of the government, the military was obviously finding excuses for their own failure! Without evidence, how dare you kill so brazenly? Just based on your empty words and white teeth to make a guarantee, that's enough?
Do you think it's over?
Then we'll call you traitors … What then?
Because of this, the entire imperial court of Yutang was in an uproar. Both the military and the government had almost rolled up their sleeves to fight in court!
After a bout of bickering, the matter finally came to an end.
The military, of course, wanted to protect Tie Zheng. His Majesty the emperor did not intend to do anything to Tie Zheng. After all, he had just made a great contribution. Most importantly, the military did not think that Tie Zheng's actions were wrong. The government was extremely disgusted by this and retorted. That was why there were so many bickering. His Majesty the emperor, who was caught in the middle, had fined Tie Zheng two years of his salary to end the matter.
Indeed, Tie Zheng was punished. This was something the government was happy to see. At least, he was not completely unpunished!
Tie Zheng was not convicted, he was only fined. It was as if he was innocent – this was the military's understanding.
Now, this menace was finally coming back.
He was coming back to get married!
"On my wedding day, all my brothers, dead or alive, shall have a goblet of wedding wine!"
These were Tie Zheng's exact words.
On the day the war ended, Tie Zheng had made his vow.
"I don't have the money, I can't have a pot for everyone but a goblet for everyone, I'll do it even if I have to go bankrupt! Even if I have to repay my debt for the rest of my life for this wedding wine, this goblet of wine must be toasted! "
Tie Zheng's words echoed throughout the entire Empire of Yutang.
Forget about the armies from the south, south, and north, just Tie Zheng's eastern army alone had a headcount of five hundred thousand! If the brothers who had died in battle, the remaining troops who had participated in the war, the logistical support, the transportation of supplies …
