Disappearances mostly happened to children or kidnappings and extortion of rich young masters and young ladies …
But it rarely happened to adult men, especially these disabled soldiers who had nothing on them. They lived in extreme poverty and could barely maintain their food and clothing. Even if they kidnapped and blackmailed, and even if the blackmail was successful, how much profit could they get?
What was even more ridiculous was the fact that nine people had been kidnapped consecutively for nine days!
What kind of logic was this?
Yun Yang's train of thought stopped abruptly. A thought flashed through his mind as his face turned pale.
Nine!
Nine days!
Nine people!
Why nine days?
Why were there nine people?!
Yun Yang suddenly thought of a horrifying possibility.
He thought about it with difficulty and said, "Everyone, go back first. If I'm not wrong, something like this shouldn't happen again."
Chen San asked, "Young master, what do you mean?"
Yun Yang heaved a long sigh. "There's something more to this incident … It should be related to a sinister arcane skill that requires nine people to activate. I think I know the cause and effect of this. Honestly, I hope that I'm wrong … Otherwise, the consequences will be dire! "
He took out a parcel from his robe and opened it with some difficulty. It was filled with glistening yellow gold, but Yun Yang had never realized that the gold's color was so blinding!
He said softly, "I'll have to trouble all of you to help settle the nine brothers' families. Send these gold ingots over on my behalf."
Dozens of men knelt on the ground simultaneously. "Thank you, young master! On behalf of our missing brothers, we thank young master for your great kindness! "
"Great kindness?" Yun Yang chuckled bitterly, his face full of despair.
Could a few gold ingots really buy the life of a hero who had sacrificed his life for the country and its people? If it was possible, I, Yun Yang, am willing to spend all my wealth to raid and plunder the world, to get as much gold as I can!
However, he could not.
How could these glistening gold ingots be equivalent to a hero's life? At most, they could only make up for his guilt!
It was really just a token of his gratitude!
…
Yun Yang walked out of the desolate alley, feeling the rage within him shoot straight to his very soul!
He took out the Nine Heavens Dictum almost without hesitation!
This time, Yun Yang used the real Nine Heavens Dictum!
It was not the kind of token that the brothers used to have.
This was the only token in the Residence of Nine Supremes!
The token itself seemed to be surrounded by a faint purple light.
Yun Yang thought about it and took out his seventh brother Supreme Blood's token, pasting it on the Nine Heavens Dictum. Then, holding the orb of blood in his hand, he issued a direct command!
Streaks of blood-like rays of light shot out from the Nine Heavens Dictum.
"Check. Have there been any disabled soldiers or soldiers in service who have gone missing? If they did, would they disappear for nine consecutive days? Nine missing people? If there is such news, report it immediately without any delay! "
The blood-red light flashed and disappeared!
On this very night.
In countless places, countless people in countless secrets, all of them had tears streaming down their faces!
Looking at the Nine Heavens Dictum that was shining with a pure blood-red light, countless people were overwhelmed with emotions. They were so excited that they could not speak.
"Supreme Blood Lord … finally appeared again!"
"This is … the true Nine Heavens Command!"
Countless people leaped up and rushed up at an unprecedented speed to check the contents of the Nine Heavens Dictum.
Immediately after.
"Immediately, everyone spread out and investigate!"
"Go and investigate immediately! The faster the better! We must come up with the most detailed investigation results in the shortest time possible! "
"Quick, quick, quick!"
"Supreme Blood Lord's first command after his return. If we don't investigate thoroughly, we don't have to live to embarrass Supreme Blood Lord anymore!"
"Quick! We must be quick! Everyone else is on the move. Our Dictum of Blood is the direct force of Supreme Blood Lord. If we fall behind the others, we can just commit suicide together! "
…
After Yun Yang returned, the Nine Heavens Dictum was stuck to his chest.
He could vaguely feel that there was a constant stream of news.
From the messages, the agitation and anxiety of the messenger could be seen.
"Boss! Boss, you're back! "
"Supreme Blood Lord, our boss … when will he be back?"
"Supreme Blood Lord, our Water Lord …"
"Supreme Blood Lord … Our Lord Yun …"
…
Looking at the anxious and hopeful messages, Yun Yang could completely feel the anxiety, urgency, and cautiousness on the messenger's face …
Faced with such news, Yun Yang felt like his heart was frying in oil, unable to deal with it.
For a moment, he was in so much pain that his heart almost spasmed, unable to speak.
"Do your job well!"
Yun Yang replied in unison.
Looking at the deep night sky, Yun Yang only wanted to roar at the top of his lungs and vent his frustration.
However, after looking at it for a long time, he finally heaved a long, drawn-out sigh.
…
It was only the wee hours of the morning when the Nine Heavens Dictum began to shine with news.
Concentrated around Tiantang City's territory, there had been disappearances of battle-hardened soldiers since about a year and a half ago. There had been a total of three incidents where nine people had disappeared each time.
The first time was a year and a half ago. In the second month, nine battle-hardened soldiers had gone missing in the west of Tiantang City; there was no news of them at all. The second time was after the ninth of the third month last year. Starting from the fifteenth of the third month, nine battle-hardened soldiers had gone missing in the north of Tiantang City for nine consecutive days.
The third time was the current one, in the south of Tiantang City.
The three disappearances had one thing in common – the nine missing people were very close to each other. What each of them had in common was that they were veterans who had gone through hundreds of battles, veterans who had taken at least three lives in their hands.
"It's because of the Nine Supremes indeed. It's the Spectral Path of the Soul, the Abyss Path of the Flesh." Yun Yang sucked in a deep breath and ordered once more, "From today onwards, all forces are to focus on the east of Tiantang City! Once you discover the disappearance of the remaining soldiers, inform me immediately without delay! "
Once the order was given, Yun Yang fell silent.
The Four Seasons Tower had actually used such an extremely vicious method.
The Spectral Path of the Soul, the Abyss Path of the Flesh was an extremely vicious and unorthodox method of locating that was not very effective.
Only when one wanted to find a person but was unable to do so, or even had a rough grasp of the person's location, would they use this most extreme and inefficient method.
The efficiency of this method was not high, but the conditions for its implementation were not low at all. Perhaps, it should be said that it was extremely harsh.
The first condition was to find nine people who were very close to each other and these nine people had to be extremely loyal to the person you were looking for!
Secondly, these nine people had to have a fighting soul.
The so-called fighting soul was the soul of the battlefield. In other words, only people who had been on a proper battlefield and were fearless on the battlefield could possess such a fighting soul.
Having a fighting soul alone was not enough, one had to have a murderous aura as well.
A person who was extremely vicious would have a murderous aura; he would have a murderous aura when he raided, even when he slaughtered pigs and cows. However, the murderous aura on the battlefield was not the usual kind of murderous aura, it was a kind of murderous aura that had been accumulated through hundreds of battles.
Killing one enemy would remove the anxiety and fear; killing two enemies would make one fearless and increase one's bravery; killing three enemies would make one invincible and the murderous aura would rise.
This meant that when some battle-hardened soldiers returned to their hometowns from the battlefield, they would sometimes smile and greet people, but it would make people feel that they were afraid to approach them, afraid to get close to them, a sense of fear that would grow in their hearts.
This was the murderous aura!
The murderous aura was real. It would only disappear after a long period of peace.
Only when all the above conditions were met could the Spectral Path of the Soul and the Abyss Path of Flesh be activated!
Perhaps it should be said that the so-called Spectral Path of the Soul and the Abyss Path of Flesh was to throw the souls of such people into the altar and search for the location of the person they were looking for using an extremely evil arcane method!
This method was very mysterious, but it was evil to the extreme, and the efficiency was extremely low. Yun Yang had only heard of it in legends. Not only did he feel disdain towards such arcane methods, he even despised them. He had never thought that there would be a day when such an evil and heartless act would happen around him, and it was done to search for him.
"The love of life and death, the murderous army; the Spectral Path of the Soul, the Abyss Path of Flesh."
"The Four Seasons Tower!"
Yun Yang uttered the three words word by word. They were like the ice shards of an ancient iceberg, chilling to the bone!
…
"Emmie, I want to go into closed-door cultivation!" Yun Yang was furious. "Summon all the energy that you've been suppressing. I want to ascend to the fifth peak!"
Yun Yang could no longer care about stabilizing his realm or solid foundation.
All he wanted was to become more powerful.
As long as his cultivation base broke through to the fifth peak of mystical Qi, he could ascend to the fourth stage of Mystique Wind Conjuration, the fifth stage of Fog of Cloud Conjuration, and the fourth stage of Fiery Charm. He could also cultivate Supreme Blood and Supreme Thunder's cultivation methods at the same time.
By then, his ability to maneuver and maneuver would increase tremendously. He would be more confident and have more tricks up his sleeves when facing the Four Seasons Tower!
"It doesn't matter how you deal with me or the Nine Supremes. We'll just fight based on our own abilities!" Yun Yang was furious. "But why do you want to kill the veterans?"
"They're the heroes of the country, the heroes of the people! They fought for the country, not forgetting to serve the country even when they're handicapped. Each of them is a man of steel! "
"Each of them deserves to be ashamed for three lifetimes! Yet you're so insane as to kill such heroic men to achieve your goals … I'll do as you wish! "
"When I appear before you, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Yun Yang's eyes glinted with a murderous glint.
Perhaps the Four Seasons Tower did not expect that it was because of their extreme methods that Yun Yang would make such a crazy decision!
Perhaps it was just like the saying, "Heaven is watching what man does". Karma and reincarnation had to be repaid!
