Yun Yang was extremely puzzled.
The eight auras in He Hanqing's residence represented eight top-notch experts with high cultivation base.
Such a lineup of eight experts had never appeared before. Even when Ling Xiaozui came, these eight people should not have been there.
If they were, they would definitely interfere in the battle. With the eight of them as support, even if Ling Xiaozui could still emerge victorious, the battle might not be as one-sided as before.
So the question was, when did these eight people arrive!?
Yun Yang recalled the intelligence he had received from the Nine Heavens Dictum – there had been plenty of martial world people who had come to Tiantang City recently, but there had been no news of them after they entered the city.
"It looks like after He Hanqing was injured, he knew that someone would definitely seize this opportunity to take his life, so he hurriedly mobilized the Four Seasons Tower's forces. Firstly, it's to protect his own safety, and secondly, it's also a deadly trap for those who are tempted to make a move! With these eight people here, even if Marquis Yun and Old Dugu were to come personally, they would only end up dying on the spot. "
"What a great way to beat him at his own game, killing two birds with one stone. He is indeed meticulous!"
Yun Yang chuckled bitterly.
He was the one who was tempted to make a move.
He Hanqing had been half-crippled by Ling Xiaozui, with eighty percent of his cultivation base restrained. It was undoubtedly a godsend opportunity to kill him, but who would have thought that He Hanqing would turn this fatal flaw into a flawless, fatal trap in the blink of an eye!
If he had not made this trip today and arranged for someone to make a move, or rather, he would have fallen into this fatal trap!
"This old fox is truly cunning!"
Yun Yang gritted his teeth in hatred, but the admiration in his heart was genuine. With such foresight and careful planning, he was indeed the backbone of the Four Seasons Tower. Supreme Lord Spring Frost lived up to his reputation.
Yun Yang left the Residence of He and was halfway there.
Suddenly, a sense of alarm rose within him. With a single thought, he melted into the air.
Almost at the same time, the sound of clothes fluttering in the air could be heard.
A white silhouette flitted over a hundred feet in front of him like a bolt of lightning. The speed of its movement turned the air in its path into a vacuum zone.
It was a white whirlwind.
As this person flew past, a gloomy and terrifying aura also flew over from afar!
In the night sky, a person dressed in linen robes and a tall crown appeared abruptly. Following the appearance of this person, Yun Yang felt the boundless space in front of him abruptly become filled with eerie winds and ghostly cries. It was as if there were countless vengeful spirits baring their fangs and claws in the air, pouncing on him.
This person's body flashed in the air and then disappeared.
The chilly wind behind him was heading in the direction that the man had fled to.
There was not the slightest mistake.
Behind that person, boundless chilly winds howled and chased after him. It was as if once this person moved, there would be an army of thousands and tens of thousands of ghosts behind him at any moment!
It was a full quarter of an hour after this person had disappeared that Yun Yang felt the eerie aura around him slowly dissipate.
"What a terrifying person." Yun Yang slowly materialized at the corner of the wall and sucked in a cold breath.
"This person must be First Court King Qinguang, one of the ten lords of the Hall of Dark Asura who came to Tiantang City out of the blue and found Fang Mofei out of the blue …"
"So he didn't come without a reason. The main reason is to hunt someone down …"
Yun Yang's curiosity was piqued.
From what he had seen just now, the person that this First Court King Qinguang was chasing after was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
At the very least, he had to be at the ninth peak pinnacle level of Marquis Yun. Otherwise, it would not be up to a hall lord like King Qinguang to personally make a move. Moreover, it was a fruitless pursuit for tens of thousands of miles!
"If this person were to fight face to face, he would definitely not be First Court King Qinguang's opponent. However, his speed of escape is astounding, even above King Qinguang's. Although it was only a glimpse, I can still tell that he managed to catch up to King Qinguang's pace for three breaths. For an expert like this, the distance of three breaths must be no less than ten thousand feet …"
"Looking at the situation, although he's not First Court King Qinguang's opponent, it won't be an easy task for First Court King Qinguang to catch up and kill this person. It might even be impossible."
"This will be a long and exhausting chase."
"A contest of time, endurance, and confidence!"
"It's just that … it's rare to see such an unparalleled expert in Tiantang City, even if there's only one of them. Why have they appeared in such a group now?"
Yun Yang shook his head with a bitter smile, seeing that the current situation was getting more and more complicated.
"Still, this person that First Court King Qinguang is chasing after is quite a character. Being hunted by such a strong enemy, he's actually wearing the white robe that is most taboo for nightwalkers … It's like he's afraid that others won't be able to see him.
Yun Yang returned to the Residence of Yun.
Fang Mofei and Lao Mei were in the midst of their cultivation. Two powerful auras were circling in the Residence of Yun, growing and expanding. Yun Yang did not interrupt them and returned to his room. Right now, he needed to think about it carefully.
Tiantang City had slowly turned from an orderly state to a chaotic mess.
It was unprecedentedly noisy and chaotic!
All sorts of powerful martial world figures and rare, mysterious experts had appeared.
There were also famed generals from various empires who were about to arrive.
Yun Yang could vaguely feel that Tiantang City would inevitably become the center of the world's storm.
It was unavoidable, unavoidable!
After a few more days, such a trend would only grow more terrifying and terrifying!
Yun Yang calculated in his heart. The four noble families had placed the four noble young masters here, so more experts would definitely come. The incident with Mi Kongqun in the palace seemed to have ended, but it was not. He Hanqing would not let the matter rest either. The king of the Dark Asura Hall was here, and The Merciless Tower had tried to assassinate him some time ago. Someone should be coming as well.
Then, there would be the civil and military officials attacking each other and the military generals being wronged. The old marshal would not sit idly by, but as long as His Majesty the Emperor recovered, there would be a way out.
Speaking of His Majesty the Emperor, he had to talk about the mysterious poison in his body. It was the most important thing now, the origin of the incident that would explode. However, as long as Yun Yang helped him recuperate, there would be no worries!
Now that Tie Zheng's wedding was imminent, the famed generals from various empires would arrive one after another.
With the arrival of these people, martial artists from various empires would also gather in Tiantang City.
By then, one could only imagine how chaotic Tiantang City would be.
With so many things happening at the same time, Yun Yang would never believe that there was no mastermind behind all this.
In spite of this, Yun Yang had to take care of Yun Zuiyue as well. The people sent by the Nine Heavens Dictum to search for Ji Ling and the rest had yet to receive any news.
None of these incidents seemed to be directly related to Yun Yang, but all of them were directly or indirectly related to the Nine Supremes. Most importantly, Yun Yang's ability was still weak. If he wanted to take advantage of the situation and turn the situation around, he would need to strike a balance from both sides.
"Speaking of which, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I don't have much power now, but I have too many things to handle. How can I not borrow strength and influence to cope?"
Yun Yang sighed.
…
Tens of thousands of miles away.
Ji Ling, or rather, Ji Lingxi was toying with the treasured saber, Phoenix's Cry. The more she held it in her hand, the more she felt that the saber was connected to her flesh and blood, as if it was a part of her. Furthermore, it was a part of her that possessed a certain spirituality.
A few nights ago, when Ji Lingxi was ambushed, the treasured saber, Phoenix's Cry, had actually emitted a clear saber chime to warn her of the impending mishap.
Although they were already prepared for this incident and were aware of the enemy's attack, the Phoenix's Cry's unique characteristic made Ji Lingxi even more reluctant to part with it.
Holding Phoenix's Cry in her hand, she naturally thought of the person who had given her the treasured saber.
"Lingxi, you seem to have changed a lot these few days." Yu Xiang 'er, who was standing beside her, stared at Ji Lingxi with some envy.
"Huh? Have I changed? How have I changed? Nonsense! "Ji Lingxi was a little flustered, startled out of her contemplation. Naturally, she felt a little guilty.
"You know very well whether I've changed or not. What are you feeling guilty about if I haven't changed?" Xia Yuhan, who was standing beside her, teased, "You've become quiet. When you're free, you're hugging the saber and thinking about something. It's like you're hugging your lover. What an eyesore …"
"Yuhan!" Ji Lingxi's face flushed as she stomped her feet in exasperation.
"Oh, you're blushing … Why are you blushing? I didn't say who it was, nor did I mention a name …" Xia Yuhan pouted, her eyes filled with mischief.
"Hmph." Ji Lingxi turned her head away, ignoring her.
However, Yu Xiang 'er was relentless. "Lingxi, your face now, your skin now … Why is it so good?" She grabbed Ji Lingxi's hand and exclaimed, "Why is your hand so soft? Let me see … Oh my god, the marks from your cultivation are all gone … What's going on? Tell me quickly! "
Yu Xiang 'er's eyes shone as she looked at Ji Lingxi, drooling with desire.
Among her sisters, Yu Xiang 'er paid the most attention to her appearance. She had been paying attention to Ji Lingxi's changes for a long time, but she could not stand it anymore.
Women who practiced martial arts, no matter how they took care of themselves, would always have some marks on their hands. Unless their cultivation had reached the connate realm and cleansed their meridians and marrow, only then would their bodies have such scars, calluses, and dead skin fall off. Otherwise, it was almost impossible for such a situation to occur.
Ji Lingxi 'er's mystical Qi cultivation base was obviously far from that realm, but the truth was that all the marks accumulated from cultivation on her body had really disappeared, leaving not a single trace behind …
This was driving Yu Xiang 'er, who valued beauty more than her life, crazy.
"Gone?" Ji Lingxi looked at herself, a little lost.
