Zhan Wufei rolled his eyes and said, "Contact the other lords. We, the four lords, will bring our elites over."
The vice lord's eyes lit up. "Deterrence? That's a good idea! No matter how great Supreme Cloud is, he's the only one with unparalleled combat power. No matter how strong the Residence of Nine Supremes is, it's still weak. It might not dare to offend the four palaces at once. "
"Deterrence my * ss!" Zhan Wufei grinned. "What are you thinking? We're ranked second among the four palaces of the East Celestial Palace … Even if Supreme Cloud wants to challenge, he should challenge fourth first. Let him challenge others and win … What's the harm in giving him the first place … We'll be able to keep our Divinity ranks, the rest isn't important! "
He stroked his chin and said, "If that's the case, it's not that embarrassing … I think with Yun Yang's insight and knowledge, if we're the only ones who go, there's a high chance that he'll challenge the Sacred Heart Palace directly. Even if we manage to retain our palace rank and fall to the third place, it'll still be embarrassing if we're beaten up in public!"
The vice lord broke out in a cold sweat.
Your idea … is really unexpected, unexpected, thought-provoking, and deafening!
However, it's a good idea to let your fellow Daoist die instead of me …
…
The East Celestial Palace.
"The palace lord is in seclusion. Who's going?" Great Elder's white brows almost reached his chest as he asked with narrowed eyes.
Everyone was silent.
Go for what?
I'm not going.
As an elder of the East Celestial Palace, my cultivation base is lower than a sect leader with an upper-class Celestial Luck Banner. I won't go, I won't embarrass myself …
The others also had the same thought. Everyone had the same thought, it was nothing more than this.
Great Elder's white brows twitched. "Do you want me to go myself?"
"No, I have to go myself this time." Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice. It was the palace lord, Dongfang Haoran, who looked much older, coming out of seclusion.
It was the same with the Northern Wasteland Demonic Palace.
"I'll go myself." Beigong Liuli's face was dark.
As for the West Heaven Holy Palace …
Ximen Fanfu had set off with his men the moment he received the invitation.
'At least I have a reason to come out … The woman at home has really gone crazy. I'll use this as an excuse to hide.'
Time passed day by day, and the date of the grand hall was getting closer and closer.
Time was approaching day by day.
The Residence of Nine Supremes was decorated with lanterns and streamers, a festive atmosphere filling the eyes.
Almost every disciple was busy, so busy that they didn't even have time to cultivate, but everyone was so busy that they were in high spirits.
Outside the mountain gate, the disciple in charge of welcoming the guests had a radiant glow on his face. He was in high spirits as he lined up for more than ten miles. There was a sea of people with colorful flags waving in the wind.
By now, the heroes of Jianghu from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks had already gathered in a large group. There were even more on their way.
Compared to the disciples who were already very busy, the higher-ups of the Residence of Nine Supremes were just as busy.
As soon as the news of the three great sects joining the Residence of Nine Supremes spread, it caused a huge reaction in a very short time. It was a chain reaction, so many lower-class Celestial Luck Banner sects came to the Residence of Nine Supremes to ask for the merger, and a few days later, even the middle-class sects sent their men over.
In total, nine middle and lower-ranked sects belonging to the Sacred Heart Palace had come over in just seven days!
All of them requested to be incorporated into the Residence of Nine Supremes.
Yun Yang's response was simple and crude – he rejected all of them!
In all fairness, since the sects were qualified to join the Celestial Luck Banner sects, they naturally had their own forces. If the Residence of Nine Supremes absorbed all nine Celestial Luck Banner sects, the scale of the sect would definitely rise to a higher level. The so-called palace level promotion would not even need to go through the motions!
However, how could Yun Yang be so short-sighted? His current force had already reached the limit that the Residence of Nine Supremes could control. If he expanded blindly, it would instead make the structure of the Residence of Nine Supremes too bloated and difficult to operate freely.
After all, whether it was the new Residence of Nine Supremes, the General Commerce League or the Phoenix Cry Sect, each of them had a close relationship with the Residence of Nine Supremes. If they merged and restrained each other, they could get along harmoniously. However, if other sects were to join in, it was inevitable that something dirty would happen.
Moreover, the merger of the Residence of Nine Supremes with the Phoenix Cry Sect and the General Commerce League was already equivalent to cutting a knife into the Sacred Heart Palace. Even if the Sacred Heart Palace was large and prosperous, they would not be too concerned about a sect that was in the top three of the middle class and an upper-class sect that mainly focused on business, but they would still lose two subordinate forces at once.
If that was all, based on Yun Yang's friendship with Zhan Wufei, and considering that the Phoenix Cry Sect and the General Commerce League had a close relationship with the Residence of Nine Supremes and had a very deep foundation, the merger was just a matter of pushing the boat with the current, an irresistible trend.
However, it would be too much to take in all these small sects …
Even if the Sacred Heart Palace did not become a commander without an army, it was bound to be destroyed.
Yun Yang did not want to bear this impact at all.
The various sects and palace masters were probably already on their way to the Residence of Nine Supremes and would arrive in a few days. After all, Supreme Cloud's reputation was like the sun in the sky now. How could they not give him face at this juncture?
However, Yun Yang had never expected that among all the guests, the one who had arrived the earliest and the fastest was actually the most important person!
The main peak of the Residence of Nine Supremes.
Yun Yang had just finished his work and returned to his room. In front of his two fiancées, his fox head had been seen hundreds and thousands of times anyway, so there was nothing he could not look at … He took off the hood and sat on the chair, holding his fox head high as he picked up a bowl of water and gulped it down. Wiping his mouth, he exclaimed, "Awesome!" Ji Lingxi glanced at him from the corner of her eyes.
"So, when you're in human form, you're quite mindful of your image and demeanor. Why aren't you mindful of it now that you're a fox head? Look at you, you've even drunk a bowl of water all over your clothes. You're a palace's supreme leader, mind your image …"
Yun Yang smacked his lips. "It's not my own face that I'm wearing anyway. Even if I'm embarrassed, it won't be my face …"
With a light wave of Shangguan Lingxiu's hand, the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth gathered and poured down as spiritual liquid. Within the span of a dozen breaths, a full pot of spiritual liquid had been gathered. In the next moment, Shangguan Lingxiu's palm was lit abruptly; she was using her hand as a stove to boil water.
A moment later, the water was boiling.
Shangguan Lingxiu served a cup of hot tea to both Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi before she said with a smile, "Lingxi, you don't know this. Lord Supreme Cloud must be thinking that he doesn't need to maintain his demeanor anymore since he's annexed us. That's why he's so unrestrained …"
Ji Lingxi pursed her lips. "Hmph, why don't I know? I know it very well. I'm not like someone who's been coaxed by a few sweet words and has long forgotten where he stands."
"Who are you talking about?" Shangguan Lingxiu blushed.
"I'm talking about whoever answers me! What's wrong with talking about you? "
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!"
Yun Yang put on the air of a family head and said with a straight face, "What's going on? What's going on? We're all family now, why are you still throwing a tantrum? Lingxi, apologize to Sister Lingxiu quickly. Lingxiu, apologize to Sister Lingxi quickly and shake hands. You're all good sisters who share the same bed after all. "
Lord Supreme Cloud's earnest words were met with a flurry of blows.
"Beat him up!"
"Pervert!"
"Lecher!"
"Shameless!"
Faced with the encirclement of two top experts, Yun Yang scurried away with his head in his arms.
The two girls chased after him relentlessly, their faces flushed with embarrassment and anger as they attacked mercilessly.
Good sisters sharing the same bed … whose bed?
It would not do if they did not give this bastard a good beating!
Yun Yang ran in circles, his hands covering his head as the two girls chased after him. Even when Lord Supreme Cloud begged for mercy, the two girls did not let him go, showing no intention of holding back. Amidst the chaos, they seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Suddenly …
Yun Yang felt a jolt in his heart as he stopped running. Following his train of thought, his gaze turned unusually sharp.
Although the two girls' cultivation base was no less than Yun Yang's, their combat skills had not been elevated to a corresponding level. They did not notice the anomaly immediately and almost fell when they bumped into Yun Yang. It was only after a pause that they realized something was wrong.
Further away from the window …
A person was standing in the air with his arms behind his back, looking at the three of them indifferently.
"Who is it?" Ji Lingxi and Shangguan Lingxiu yelled at the same time in embarrassment and anger.
They stood in front of Yun Yang in unison, shielding him.
Both girls were struck with a sudden realization.
This person could actually ignore the Residence of Nine Supremes' mountain guarding formation and come so close without them knowing. His cultivation base was unfathomable, even higher than theirs!
Such an ability should belong to the pinnacle of this world, even the level of a saint!
Yun Yang might not be able to withstand such an expert, but the two of them could withstand any attack …
Naturally, they would be the frontline. Perhaps they could counterattack and kill the enemy while he was careless!
It was necessary to eliminate the threat as soon as possible!
The person outside the window smiled faintly and looked at Yun Yang. "Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Yun Yang sucked in a deep breath. "The Residence of Nine Supremes is honored by your presence, Palace Lord Ximen. Please come in."
Palace Lord Ximen?
Ji Lingxi and Shangguan Lingxiu looked at each other in shock. The person before them was … the leader of Western Heaven Holy Palace, Ximen Fafu?
Why had this expert come so early?
No wonder the mountain guarding formation that had stopped countless enemies and no outsiders had ever been able to invade had no response. It was because of this person!
Yun Yang invited Ximen Fafu in personally and they sat down as host and guest. Ji Lingxi served him tea personally, but rather than saying that she valued him, it was more like … she was worried.
After all, Yun Yang had directly killed this person's biological son!
Especially during this period of time, he had heard many rumors about the West Heaven Saint Palace. The rumor that the Palace Master Ximen in front of him was afraid of his wife had already spread far and wide. Even if he didn't care about it back then, how could he not care about it now?
"Palace Lord, you've lost a lot of weight recently." Yun Yang tried to strike up a conversation.
Truth be told, he had the same thoughts as Ji Lingxi and Shangguan Lingxiu. He did not have much confidence in himself. Why had this expert come so early? There were still a few days before the grand ceremony.
Ximen Fafu sighed softly. "If you encounter something like me, you'll lose a lot of weight too. Perhaps you'll look even more haggard than me … "
'I won't encounter something like this!'
Yun Yang was annoyed. This old man was obviously cursing him …
Ji Lingxi, who was standing beside him, said lightly, "Palace Lord Ximen, you're worrying too much. When we have a child in the future …" She suddenly blushed as she spoke. After all, it was still embarrassing for a young lady to talk about having a child.
"… We'll definitely educate him well. We won't let him do anything outrageous."
In spite of this, Miss Ji still finished her sentence.
Shangguan Lingxiu, who was blushing as well, nodded her head firmly.
Ximen Fafu smiled faintly. "Then I wish you a successful wish in advance." After a pause, he said, "I'm more than willing to believe that you'll be able to educate your child well."
"With the few of us old fellows as an example … I don't think we'll miss it if we avoid and take precautions." Ximen Fafu was lost in thought.
He was thinking, 'What if I had kept a closer eye on them? Wouldn't I have just let them be? Wouldn't the situation have turned into what it was now? '
"Thank you for your auspicious words, Palace Lord." Yun Yang laughed. "Still, Palace Lord, you've come so early … Yun Yang is truly surprised."
Ximen Fafu looked at Ji Lingxi and Shangguan Lingxiu meaningfully. "I'm also willing to believe that you'll be faster than me in the future …"
Yun Yang was speechless.
F * ck, can't we have a pleasant conversation? You're forcing your pain onto my head, making my pain even more painful, to the next level!
After a few words, Ji Lingxi and Shangguan Lingxiu were relieved to see that Ximen Fafu had come with a kind intention. After all, the man before them was one of the top experts in this world; he must have weighed the pros and cons …
Thus, the two ladies left to attend to their own matters. After all, the Residence of Nine Supremes had too many things to handle now …
With both of them watching over it, it would be helpful.
…
"I've come a few days in advance. My main purpose is to relax and to seek refuge at the same time," Ximen Fafu said with a bitter smile after seeing that the two ladies had left for a long time.
"Refuge?" Yun Yang did not understand what he meant. He had a vague idea but he could not voice it out loud.
"Sigh …" Ximen Fafu's sigh was extremely bleak. "It's good that your son is dead, lest he continues to be the laughing stock of the world … I accept it and understand your choice and actions even more. To be honest, when I dream about it at night, I wish I could have done it earlier so that so many heroes and old friends wouldn't have to suffer … But it's hard to explain to his mother. "
"During this period of time, she kept shouting that she wanted to seek revenge on you … Even after I went back and started to investigate, verifying all the evil deeds one by one and placing them in front of her … Only then did she finally give up on the idea of seeking revenge on you …"
Yun Yang did not say anything, but he was deeply moved.
As a parent, no matter what mistakes their son had committed, it was inevitable that they would be filled with resentment when their son was killed. It was reasonable for them to seek revenge on the person who killed their son. This was not about right or wrong, it was only about personal grudges. To be able to be as righteous as Ximen Fafu and his wife, to let go of the grudge … it was rare even in the entire Bound of Universe.
Ximen Fanfu said solemnly, "Actually … we aren't as great as you think we are. If I wasn't the master of the Western Heaven Holy Palace and didn't have such a heavy burden on my shoulders … even if I knew that my son was guilty of so many crimes that even death cannot wipe away his crimes … I would still not be able to stop myself from seeking revenge on you … However, your survival is related to the survival of the Mysterious Yellow Human Race. All I can do is to swallow my anger … Perhaps, after the demon invasion is completely quelled, I will suddenly seek revenge on you … It's not impossible for that to happen."
Yun Yang said with respect, "Palace Lord, you're exaggerating. To be able to do this is already commendable. No matter what happens at that time, it's only about the standpoint, nothing else. "
Ximen Fafu chuckled bitterly and murmured, "Commendable? If it's really commendable, how can I not even teach my own son well?"
He did not say a word, lost in thought for a long time.
After a long, long time, Ximen Fafu continued, "Also, although my wife has understood the cause and effect of this matter, the hatred in her heart is still difficult to erase … She can't seek revenge on you … But it doesn't stop her from transferring it all to me … My days have been unspeakably bitter …"
"Why is that?" Yun Yang was puzzled.
Ximen Fafu wore a smile that was uglier than a crying face. "She said that it's all my fault that our son has come to this state today. I only cared about Western Heaven Holy Palace and didn't care about my own son. She also said that our son was so obedient when he was young, how could he become so greedy? Isn't it because he's imitating me as a father? Anyway, I'm to be blamed for our son's death …"
The corners of Yun Yang's lips twitched.
This theory was f * cking …
Alright, this theory was f * cking irrefutable.
"That day … I was so tired that I took a short nap. When I opened my eyes, I saw this woman slashing at my neck with a large knife. She wanted to murder her husband …"
Ximen Fafu looked terrified. "Luckily, my cultivation base is still alright … I managed to escape with half of my neck severed … I was just in time for your invitation … so I …"
Yun Yang broke out in cold sweat.
Murder her husband? The person next to him slashed his neck with a knife while he was sleeping?
Even if he put aside the previous crime, he could not help but shudder at the mere thought of the scene.
Ximen Fafu wiped his sweat away as well. "I plan to stay for a few more days this time … I'll go back after some time …"
He sat down dejectedly, his spirit drained, like a rooster that had lost a battle.
"But this isn't the way to go …" Yun Yang could sympathize with him and began to worry for him.
"What else can I do?" Ximen Fafu slumped on the chair, rubbing the space between his brows with two fingers.
"Actually, I have an idea, but I don't know if I should say it …" Yun Yang's eyes darted around as an idea came to him.
"What is it?" Ximen Fafu asked without much hope.
"Palace Lord, just work hard and let her give birth to another child." Yun Yang's eyes were sparkling as he said, "It shouldn't be difficult for you, Palace Lord, right? Also … hehehehehe … "
