Before he could finish his sentence, Eunuch Wu's body swayed and fell forward. First, he knelt on the ground. His calves and knees were crushed at the same time. Then, his whole body fell forward and lay on the ground. His head rolled out of his body.
His life force and potential had been completely exhausted. Even his deific consciousness and soul had gone through the Meteor Soul Ignition.
His body was like a cracked ceramic that would shatter at the slightest touch.
Yun Yang sucked in a deep breath.
Autumn had come, it was the mid-autumn festival of the eighth month. It was time for a reunion …
It was obvious.
Eunuch Wu's identity was the fifteenth of the eighth month!
"From spring to autumn …" Yun Yang mumbled to himself, feeling more and more that the matter was a mystery to him.
This man from the Hall of Autumn had died in his hands so inexplicably.
The cause of it was a foolhardy test!
It was an unexpected test for both parties!
In spite of this, both Yun Yang and Eunuch Wu had not truly realized that the other was their true enemy!
Yet, the victor of life and death had been decided just like that!
Yun Yang turned around.
He met Lao Mei and Fang Mofei's gazes that were filled with shock but also admiration and respect.
"You … you're Lord Supreme Cloud?" Lao Mei stammered.
Fang Mofei looked at Yun Yang with a burning gaze. "Lord Supreme Cloud?"
Yun Yang sighed softly, countless memories seemed to flash through his eyes. Finally, he said in a lonesome voice, "I am now … your Young Master Yun."
"Yes! Young Master! "
At this moment, Fang Mofei and Lao Mei's bodies were ramrod straight!
Both of their eyes were shining with a fiery radiance!
They had never thought that the person they had been serving was the empire's guardian that the entire nation's people had gone crazy for and worshipped!
Such a heroic figure was actually their young master!
At this moment, they felt their blood rush to their throats. For a moment, they did not know what to say. It was as if an electric current had passed through their bodies.
Supreme Cloud!
Heavenly Cloud!
Fang Mofei and Lao Mei felt their eyes moisten at the same time.
That was because he was excited, because he felt honored.
After the grievous news of the Nine Supremes being attacked, the entire Empire of Yutang seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy cloud. Everyone's mood was unprecedentedly heavy, so oppressed that they wanted to fight with their lives on the line.
However, the moment he heard the name 'Supreme Cloud', that feeling vanished without a trace.
It was as if the dark clouds that filled the sky had disappeared without a trace the moment these two words appeared!
Realization dawned on both of them, especially Lao Mei.
Why did Yun Yang often disappear and reappear suddenly?
Why were there no maids or servants in the mansion?
Why … was her Young Master always so mysterious?!
Now, there was an answer to all of this!
The young master was Supreme Cloud!
That night, the Empire of Yutang's capital city was indeed turbulent.
The Four Great Young Masters were going up against the Imperial Palace Chief!
More than half of the forces in the capital were paying close attention to the subsequent development of the situation.
Although Mi Kongqun had personally confirmed that he had reconciled with the four fellows and that it was just a misunderstanding, none of the four eunuchs he brought out had returned. This was intriguing.
For the Imperial Palace, this was not a small matter.
No matter how Mi Kongqun was the Imperial Palace Chief, no matter how powerful he was, he had to give an explanation.
As far as this matter was concerned, the four Young Masters were unscrupulous in their actions. This was pardonable and even understandable.
In spite of this, Mi Kongqun had done it without any qualms, even mobilizing a large number of imperial guards … This was something to ponder.
Early the next morning, the various forces who had been anticipating the subsequent developments were surprised to find that no one had mentioned the matter anymore! It was as if the huge incident last night was just a gentle breeze that passed without a trace!
Qiu Jianhan was too lazy to say anything; at the same time, he was waiting for Keeper Mi's follow-up, observing the changes quietly. As for the others, not even the imperial censors who usually stirred up trouble had jumped out to accuse them …
Even Qiu Jianhan felt that this matter was rather odd.
Subconsciously, he exchanged a glance with Leng Daoyin, only to see that the latter's eyes were filled with confusion as well.
Qiu Jianhan frowned at once.
If he were to say that he had overlooked something while being part of the plot, Leng Daoyin, who was not part of it, would not have noticed it either. This matter was getting more and more out of hand!
…
Yun Yang went into cultivation mode immediately when he returned to his residence. The battle tonight had been full of twists and turns, far beyond Yun Yang's expectations. Most importantly, his intention had never been to kill.
He wanted to find out more about the mastermind behind this Eunuch Wu.
However, his initial intention had obviously fallen through.
In spite of this, there was another unexpected gain in today's battle other than martial arts and Destiny Saber Art. Eunuch Wu was actually from the Hall of Autumn!
He had been dealing with the Hall of Spring all this while, but he could not get out of this circle. Now, someone from the Hall of Autumn had popped out of nowhere? It was a strange matter indeed.
"I believe that Mi Kongqun is from the Hall of Spring. Although this Eunuch Wu is acquainted with him, he might not know the other's true identity. At least, Mi Kongqun doesn't know Eunuch Wu's background. This Eunuch Wu has never shown his true combat power in front of Mi Kongqun."
"I've used all my forces in today's battle, including the three Eclipse Panthers and myself. In the end, I could only kill Eunuch Wu with a pyrrhic victory. It's truly remarkable, and this is only the fifteenth of the eighth month of the Hall of Autumn!"
Yun Yang felt the terror from the bottom of his heart.
Although he had won the battle in the end, he had also paid a hefty price for using the Fog of Cloud Conjuration to counter Eunuch Wu's desperate attack. In addition, the two Junior Leopards needed to be healed. Yun Yang went into closed-door cultivation immediately, channeling the air of vitality to heal them.
Fang Mofei and Lao Mei found a secluded spot to meditate in the yard. Occasionally, they would open their eyes, feeling their blood boiling.
Supreme Cloud!
The young master was actually Supreme Cloud!
This piece of news was still like a thunderclap, rumbling in the minds of the two people.
Yun Yang did not say anything more, but both of them chose to keep their mouths shut.
What was Supreme Cloud's identity?
Was there even a need to ask?
This secret was enough to shake the entire continent!
Once it was leaked, the consequences would be dire!
"What I yearn to see the most is the moment young master soars into the sky with the power of a hidden dragon!" Fang Mofei and Lao Mei had the same thought.
Just the thought of that moment made them tremble with excitement.
However, the young master was Supreme Cloud. Then, the young master's enemy would be the entire continent!
All the strong cultivators of the continent!
No wonder young master always said that he was not capable enough, that he despised his slow progress.
So this was the truth!
Following young master, we need to improve our capabilities!
This was a must.
Therefore, both of them had entered a state of desperation that they had never experienced before in their cultivation.
…
When he woke up the next day, Yun Yang felt his body relax, his injuries fully healed. As for the two Eclipse Panthers, the one with the heaviest injuries had mostly recovered while the other was completely healed.
"Not slow."
Yun Yang opened the message sent by the Nine Heavens Dictum.
"No ripples at all?" Yun Yang's brows slowly furrowed as he looked at the information he had gathered from all over the place.
This did not seem to be normal.
So many major incidents had happened in these few days.
From the incident with Shui Yuehan and the others to Fu Guansan, all the way until now with Mi Kongqun's incident; the accumulation of these incidents had not stirred up any ripples at all.
Logically speaking, if it was just the imperial court, the Residence of Imperial Justice, the Board of Justice, a few princes and even the civil, military and political parties in the imperial court, when the censors were at their fiercest, they should be attacking each other.
You attack while I defend, it was a back and forth tussle. Slowly digging forward amidst such disputes was the right thing to do.
However, now …
Such a major incident had not stirred up any ripples at all.
What did this mean?
It meant that all these incidents that should have happened had been suppressed by a large hand!
Suppressed forcefully!
However, who in the capital city had such power?
Yun Yang sucked in a deep breath.
No matter what, the Cirrus House's incident could finally come to an end. As long as these four popinjays were still in Tiantang, the Four Seasons Tower would not dare to act recklessly, at least for the time being.
After all, five people had been killed in the Cirrus House's incident.
Just the follow-up countermeasures alone would take them some time to think.
"Finally, I can relax …"
Just as Yun Yang was thinking about this, tens of thousands of miles away …
On a cliff shrouded in clouds and mist.
A man dressed in gray sat there quietly.
Five to six thick iron chains hung on his body, dark red in color. In the middle of them were strips of dark red mystical beast tendons.
Two chains passed through his shoulders and shoulder blades.
The third chain passed through his chest and wrapped around his spine. Then, it extended out into a bottomless cave …
Even so, it was not enough. There was a similar chain on each of his legs.
One could only imagine the torment this man had endured.
Right now, he was sitting in front of the stone table with a tranquil expression, slowly making tea and drinking tea. Facing the dense and impenetrable sea of clouds, he still had a calm expression on his face.
