"How many do you have?" The two palace masters asked at the same time.
"Thirty-seven …" Dongfang Haoran's face was completely twisted. "You have to add the Sacred Heart Palace … The Great Elder of the Sacred Heart Palace has already confirmed that there's something fishy going on, so many people in the Sacred Heart Palace are suspicious as well …"
Dongfang Haoran would never have thought that the Eastern Celestial Palace would suffer the greatest loss in this purge!
This made Dongfang Haoran, who had always thought of himself as wise and strict, lose face.
Ximen Fafu and Beigong Liuli looked at each other. Although they were slightly gloating, their hearts were heavy and they could not be happy even if they wanted to.
"Four Holy Sons of the Eastern Celestial Palace … it has been confirmed that three of them are involved in this matter, and they are the masterminds … The biggest mastermind is my son. Sigh … "
When Dongfang Haoran said this, the other two did not want to know what he was feeling.
Beigong Liuli also looked like she was about to vomit blood. "My son … is the same. Similar to your son. "
Ximen Fafu's face was green. "Both of your sons are involved. Don't tell me you think that my son will stay out of this …"
The three palace masters looked at each other and saw the complicated expressions on each other's faces.
"This matter … has actually gone out of control now." Dongfang Haoran smiled helplessly. "The people with ulterior motives have already been found. This is no longer the current focus. The current focus should be on … this force is too strong."
"Once they are all cleaned up … the three celestial palaces will lose at least twenty percent of their overall strength!"
"This loss is too much … When did these bastards gather so many experts …" Ximen Fafu also felt troubled. "What should we do now? Should we continue with the plan? "
Dongfang Haoran smiled bitterly. "The plan has its rewards, and the rewards are not small … The biggest reward of the plan is Yun Yang. If we change our minds and stop the operation … it's not right, it's not right. "
"Along the way, Yun Yang's cultivation base has been constantly improving. He's even raised his cultivation base to the fourth-grade Saint Realm through the tempering of life and death situations. He's only a step away from entering the realm of Half Saint."
Dongfang Haoran said in a low voice, "I have said it from the beginning. Yun Yang's future is not limited to the three Heavenly Palace Lords. He can become the next pillar of the Bound of Universe. His advancement cannot be interrupted …"
As he spoke, his expression became even more unsightly. "Now that something like this has happened to the Heavenly Palace, I haven't made up my mind yet … whether or not I should completely eradicate it. I believe it's the same for the two of you. "
Dongfang Haoran's expression was pained and complicated but he gritted his teeth and said, "Since you and I can't make a decision and can't be ruthless … then let Yun Yang solve this matter. Let's just say that out of sight, out of mind."
Ximen Fanfu closed his eyes and said softly, "That's right. Let Yun Yang take over and deal with it … even if he kills them all, I … won't have any complaints. "
"If Yun Yang is willing to let them go … it'll be difficult for us when he comes back. If … sigh …" Ximen Fanfu's words were incoherent and his expression was even more unsightly. After a long while, he finally stopped talking.
Dongfang Haoran's lips were trembling as he murmured, "How could it have come to this …"
His gaze was actually a little hollow.
Beigong Liuli's expression was complicated as she heaved a long sigh. She shook her head as if she wanted to say something but did not say it in the end.
"The three Heavenly Palaces can be managed well in your hands, but you can't even teach your son well …"
The three Heavenly Palace Lords looked at each other and saw the heart-wrenching helplessness and helplessness in each other.
As the three of them were discussing, Dongfang Haoran's expression changed abruptly. He grabbed a communication jade and inserted mystical Qi into it.
He had already instructed them not to disturb him unless there was something important. Now that there was such an urgent message, it was definitely not a small matter!
As soon as the communication jade lit up, an urgent message came from it.
"Palace Lords, something bad has happened. Young Palace Lord has asked Ning Fengxue to kill Yun Yang!"
"F * ck!"
The three Heavenly Palace Lords cursed in unison and stood up at the same time.
Their three faces that were usually as steady as mountains had changed color!
Despite all their calculations, there was still one flaw. They thought that they were not in control!
In the next moment, the three of them moved in unison, tearing the space apart and flying out.
Although there seemed to be only half a level of difference between a Saint Lord and a Half Saint, according to the outside world's evaluation of Yun Yang's current combat strength, killing a third level Saint Lord in three strikes could only be done by a fourth level Saint Lord. Did this not mean that Yun Yang was only a step away from a Half Saint cultivator? Even if there was still a gap, it did not look like it was too great. However, in reality, the difference between the two was like heaven and earth!
There was no comparison at all when there was a fundamental difference.
Just like the time when Yun Yang had yet to step into the Saint Lord realm, he could indeed fight against a first or second level Saint Lord cultivator based on his combat strength alone. However, as long as a Saint Lord cultivator executed a spatial sealing technique, Yun Yang would immediately be unable to do anything.
Compared to the Sage-to-be Absolute Law and the Heavenly Constitution, the gap of this one step was even greater!
Once Ning Fengxue made his move, it meant that Yun Yang would no longer have any chance of survival. The three Heavenly Palace Lords' only hope was that Yun Yang would be lucky enough to survive before they arrived.
As for Yun Yang being able to counterattack and kill a Half Saint cultivator like Ning Fengxue, the three of them had never once thought of it!
"Dongfang, didn't you say that Half Saint cultivators and above are not allowed to participate in the affairs of the Sons of Saint? This has been the rule for hundreds of thousands of years. Why is it that your son has made an exception? Now that the situation is like this, what do you want us to think? What right does Dongfang Xingchen have to invite a Half Saint cultivator? Is there a hidden agenda behind this? "
"Isn't this a bastard?"
"Your Eastern Celestial Palace might as well just invite a Saint to take action!"
The two Heavenly Palace Lords had a bellyful of complaints.
Dongfang Haoran had a bellyful of bitterness that was rarely vented, so he sighed endlessly towards the sky. 'What can I say? I can say that I was also involved in this matter back then … but I can't say anything … '
The three Palace Masters rushed over together, but on the way, they unexpectedly sensed an extremely dispirited aura coming towards them.
This aura was not unfamiliar to the three of them, and it was the target of their trip.
The three of them tore the space apart and intercepted the person. Taking a closer look, they could not help exclaiming in unison, "It's really you!"
The owner of the dispirited aura was none other than Ning Fengxue.
The three of them had initially decided that they would beat Ning Fengxue up the moment they saw him, followed by a scolding and other subsequent punishments.
However, looking at him now, the three of them were speechless.
Ning Fengxue's face was pale and he looked miserable, like a lamp that had run out of oil. What shocked the three of them even more was that one of Ning Fengxue's shoulders was empty. A Half Saint cultivator had actually lost an arm?
"What … what's going on?"
"Who did this?!"
The three Heavenly Palace Lords were dumbfounded!
It was even more shocking than when they received the news that Ning Fengxue had targeted Yun Yang.
"Who did it …" Ning Fengxue smiled faintly, "Palace Lord, do you think … under the circumstances where those old fellows didn't do anything, who else could do it?"
Dongfang Haoran's eyes widened, "This … this … could it be … Yun Yang … it can't be?!"
"Why not, it's him!"
Ning Fengxue chuckled bitterly and said, "Regarding Supreme Cloud, I have something to tell Palace Lord and to ask for forgiveness. Coincidentally meeting the three of you here has saved me a lot of trouble … After this, this subordinate will not return to the Heavenly Palace. After finding a place to talk, this old man will go directly to the Blood Soul Mountain. "
He sighed dispiritedly. "What else can I say …"
"Alright."
Who were the three Heavenly Palace Lords? Seeing Ning Fengxue's condition, they knew that something was wrong. They suppressed their doubts and waited quietly for Ning Fengxue's explanation.
To them, no matter how great Yun Yang's improvement was, no matter how amazing he was, it was impossible for him to injure Ning Fengxue to this extent. Otherwise, the three of them would not have come together to save him. However, the truth was right before their eyes. The impossible had become possible!
Nonetheless, it was still too shocking!
Ning Fengxue, who was leading the way, looked haggard, sighed inwardly.
Yun Yang, since you have the intention to reorganize the world, this old man will buy you half a day more time. I only hope that you know what you're doing.
…
Yun Yang was covered in blood, but he still pretended to be calm as he walked slowly into Tonight City.
Yun Yang's overflowing aura was still strong, still exuding an extremely sharp feeling. He did not stop to greet any guests along the way as he walked towards the inn he was staying at.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed.
Beigong Wushuang landed in front of Yun Yang with two other men. Whether it was intentional or not, he exclaimed, "Lord Supreme Cloud, are you hurt?"
Yun Yang stood still, his eyes half-lidded as he said faintly, "It's just a small injury, nothing to worry about."
Beigong Wushuang waved his hand, and two fragrant white pills flew over. "These are my Northern Wasteland Demon Palace's Nine Reincarnation Life Restoration Pills. Whether it's for reviving the soul, prolonging life, or improving blood circulation, they're top notch. Brother Yun, quickly consume them."
Yun Yang grabbed it and tossed it into his mouth without a second thought, saying, "Why are you here?"
Beigong Wushuang smiled. "Brother Yun's display of power a few days ago turned the tables on us. They don't have the ability to monitor me now, so of course they can come as they please. However, I'm here to share some information with Brother Yun. I've never forgotten about our alliance."
Yun Yang frowned. "Them?"
Beigong Wushuang lowered his voice and said, "Let's talk as we walk. Dongfang XingChen and the others are waiting for news now. According to what I know, Dongfang XingChen has already hired a half-saint to deal with you."
As he spoke, he accompanied Yun Yang and carefully observed Yun Yang's expression.
A sharp glint flashed across Yun Yang's eyes as he murmured thoughtfully, "A half-saint?"
"That's right. Even if Brother Yun's cultivation base is extraordinary, you still won't stand a chance against a half-saint. It's better to think of a plan as soon as possible. "
Beigong Wushuang's tone was filled with worry.
As he spoke, he thought to himself.
"Looking at Yun Yang now, it's obvious that he's just gone through a tough battle. Although three people have been sent to assassinate him previously, the chances of the trio succeeding are minuscule as long as Yun Yang is able to react, judging from the capability he's shown previously. However, Yun Yang is obviously severely injured now. Where did he get this injury from?"
"Could it be that … Yun Yang has already fought with a Half-saint outside just now?"
"The real reason why he's injured is actually because he fought with a half-saint?" The more Beigong Wushuang thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. When he mentioned the half-saint just now, Yun Yang's expression had changed subtly and the two words he had murmured, "Half-saint?"
These three words were quite meaningful, weren't they?
Beigong Wushuang pondered.
Initially, they had planned to watch the battle as a precaution, but how could they allow others to watch and offend a half-saint?
Just as Lu Yongzai and the other two left, Dongfang XingChen had already said that a half-saint had made a move.
Therefore, they were all waiting for news here, completely unaware of Lu Yongzai and the other two's escape. As for the actual situation of a half-saint's attack, they naturally had no idea either.
If a half-saint was not allowed to watch, going would be an affront to a half-saint's dignity. How was that any different from seeking death?
However, Yun Yang had returned unscathed despite looking like he was in a bad state. As Supreme Cloud's ally, Beigong Wushuang naturally had to come over to check on the situation.
In spite of this, Yun Yang's current attitude and reaction were thought-provoking and intriguing!
"If a half-saint had made a move, how could he still be alive?" Beigong Wushuang's heart was in turmoil. "Could he have let him go on purpose?"
Yun Yang walked forward with steady steps. "Your information came too late."
"Too late …" Beigong Wushuang's heart skipped a beat.
"Where are the other Sons of Saint now?" Yun Yang asked again.
Although Yun Yang's face was pale and unsightly, his question was still filled with a murderous aura that could not be denied.
"They're all at Dongfang XingChen's Supreme Tower now." Beigong Wushuang said, "Seven to eight of them have gathered together to discuss how to deal with you. Brother Yun, what do you plan to do next? I'll know how to cooperate with you …"
Yun Yang said coldly, "I don't need you for now! It's fine if they don't make a move, but if anyone dares to … I'll kill them all and end it once and for all. "
As he spoke, he suddenly grunted and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. "Beigong, your Nine Transformations Life Reviving Pill …"
Beigong Wushuang's gaze turned cold and ruthless as he smiled. "Don't worry, Brother Yun. Although my Nine Transformations Life Reviving Pill is miraculous, it will cause a clash in the blood Qi for a certain period of time at the point of consumption. However, this is the magical aspect of the Nine Transformations Life Reviving Pill. For those who are severely injured, it will stimulate the blood Qi to fuse with the medicinal effect and circulate through the entire body. Won't the effects be faster and the healing speed be faster?"
Beigong Wushuang explained, but he was secretly delighted. Yun Yang was indeed injured, and it was not a light one at that. It was very likely that his core had been injured, and the loss of his combat power was inevitable.
This was how it should be.
It was already shocking enough to be able to stay alive in a battle with a half-saint. Yun Yang should not have any combat power left now!
As he thought about it, evil thoughts surged.
