…
Yun Yang sat in silence.
He did not have to wait too long.
Just after midnight, footsteps could be heard coming from the stairs.
Only one person had come.
The person's footsteps were steady but unusually determined.
Only when he came to the door did he hesitate for a moment, but he walked in resolutely without any hesitation.
The corners of Yun Yang's lips curled into a comforting and appreciative smile.
The hesitation at the door was human nature.
Even if one was an unparalleled hero, even if he had long decided to disregard life and death, he would still hesitate when faced with such a situation.
Taking a step forward might lead to death, but taking a step back was a whole new world.
A person who could take a step forward after hesitating was at least a person who was unafraid of death, a person who would not turn back if there was a sense of righteousness!
How could he not admire such a person? At the same time, Yun Yang was comforted that his eighth brother had such a subordinate!
In contrast, if Shui Wuyin had stepped in without hesitation, Yun Yang's evaluation of him would not have been as high.
There would only be two possibilities then.
One would be the bravery of an ordinary man, while the other would be someone who had a well-thought-out plan and had ulterior motives.
Yun Yang did not like either of these people.
The approaching footsteps suddenly stopped.
They were already at the door.
Stop!
The door was wide open.
Yun Yang could even imagine the person at the door looking at him when he stopped.
He still did not turn his head, still sitting there and looking outside. He stared at the ray of light, the Residence of Nine Supremes that was shrouded by the night fog in the distance. Even though it was blurry, the Residence of Nine Supremes was there.
"You're here." Shui Wuyin stood at the door, his voice dry.
Looking at the figure in the shadows that looked extremely familiar, yet extremely unfamiliar, he felt a sudden urge to tremble in his heart.
"You're here too." Yun Yang said faintly, "Where have you been all this time? I've been looking for you. "
Shui Wuyin trembled, his voice hoarse as if his vocal cords were about to break. "Looking for me? I've been looking for you all this time too! "
Yun Yang heaved a soft sigh of relief and said, "Since you came tonight, you must have made the necessary arrangements."
Shui Wuyin's strange voice was still like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing against each other in the dark night. "That's right, you are the most dangerous person I have ever seen in my life. If I didn't make ample preparations, I wouldn't have dared to come."
Yun Yang smiled faintly and turned to face Shui Wuyin with the face that belonged to the Towering Wind Pavilion Master.
Shui Wuyin took a deep breath and said, "Since I'm already here, please take off this face."
"Why?" Yun Yang asked.
"This is my Boss's face, not yours." Shui Wuyin stood at the door, his hoarse voice revealing traces of coldness.
"Do you know who your boss is? How do you know this isn't my face? " Yun Yang's clear eyes looked at Shui Wuyin. "Do you know your boss' true colors?"
Shui Wuyin said indifferently, "What you said isn't important. The only important thing is that you're not my boss. You're only an impostor! "
Yun Yang replied, "Impersonation … Have you ever thought that to be able to impersonate your boss and even successfully deceive you for a period of time and manipulate you, it must be someone he knows and trusts to be able to do so?"
Shui Wuyin said coldly, "Of course I have thought about it. However, there are only two possible identities for you. First, you're my boss' closest and most trusted person, but because of this layer of relationship, you've caused my boss' death and even wanted to take over his property."
Yun Yang was dumbfounded. "What about the second?"
"The second … you're still my boss' closest and most trusted person. My boss has entrusted you to look after his property. Also, please, impersonate him. "
Although Shui Wuyin's voice was hoarse and unpleasant to the ears, it was still calm and cold like ice.
Yun Yang thought about it seriously and said, "That's right. There are indeed only these two possibilities. Which one do you think I am?"
Shui Wuyin said, "I can't think of an answer to this question. Initially, it could only be verified with time. However, since you're here and I'm here today, I might as well make some things clear. The worst possibility is that someone dies here today. Either I die, or you die! Isn't that so? "
Yun Yang sighed softly and said, "It's still too early to talk about life and death now. I've always been curious about who you are and what your background is. I know a lot about your boss but he never told me about your real background. That's why I've always been curious. "
He said slowly, "Right, your boss told me that he's never seen Shui Wuyin anxious. I believe this because I've never seen you anxious either, except for today. I believe that if your boss was here now and saw how anxious you are for him, he would be very comforted. "
Shui Wuyin clenched his fists tightly and looked at Yun Yang. "I only want to know who you are now. Everything else is not important! "
Yun Yang stood up slowly, his body unmoving but the windows around him were suddenly shut. Shui Wuyin had been standing by the door and had not actually come in, but for some reason, he had moved a step forward involuntarily while the door behind him had closed soundlessly.
Shui Wuyin snorted and said, "Do you think that you can change my mind by closing the door?"
Yun Yang said faintly, "I only want to tell you the truth but it's better for us to communicate one-on-one."
Shui Wuyin snorted coldly and did not comment further.
Yun Yang said, "Your boss is the closest person to me."
Shui Wuyin snorted disdainfully, a mocking expression appearing on his face as he said, "I know. I've always known that you're the closest person to Boss. But do you know that there are thirty-six people outside this room with hidden weapons aimed at this place, ready to make a move at any time?"
He ignored Yun Yang's words and continued, "Also, I've planted enough explosives under this room to blow up a lake."
"Other than that, I've also hollowed out a considerable portion of this room's walls and filled them with poison."
"I believe that the amount of poisonous smoke alone is enough to poison half of Tiantang City's population to death."
Shui Wuyin said calmly, "So, no matter how high your cultivation base is, even if you're Ling Xiaozui himself, you won't be able to walk out of here if you can't give me a satisfactory answer today!"
"I don't need to give the order for all this. With a single thought, all the killing moves will be executed immediately."
Shui Wuyin said faintly, "Mind control, do you know that?"
Yun Yang replied, "Mind control? You're actually from the Ling Clan? "
Shui Wuyin snorted and said, "Speak, who are you?"
Yun Yang smiled faintly. "You've told me so much, I have to return the favor no matter what. What I want to tell you now is that I don't doubt what you've said at all. It's a pity that these arrangements are completely useless against me!"
Shui Wuyin snorted coldly and was about to retort when he saw the silhouette sitting opposite him disappear. What replaced it was a pure-white cloud.
It floated in the air, coming and going at a leisurely pace.
Shui Wuyin's eyes widened at once, his brain going into a blank state.
The cloud in the air dispersed into thousands of wisps of fog, covering every inch of the space.
Then, it condensed into a ball of fog once again.
Yun Yang's body materialized in front of Shui Wuyin once more.
Looking at Shui Wuyin's shocked gaze, Yun Yang smiled warmly. "Wuyin, do you recognize me now?"
The face that Yun Yang had revealed now was his original appearance.
"Young … Young Master Yun? Yun Yang? It's you? "Shui Wuyin's voice was stuttering but he had instinctively lowered his voice.
Yun Yang sighed softly. "You … don't recognize me?"
Shui Wuyin's eyes flashed with excitement and reverence as he nodded continuously. His face was flushed as he lowered his voice to a whisper, "You are … Supreme Yun?"
Yun Yang's gaze flickered as his tone turned melancholic as he said faintly, "Your boss is my eighth brother."
"Wind …" Shui Wuyin was dumbstruck.
The boss that he had been loyal to was actually Lord Supreme Wind whom the world's heroes revered?
"Your boss … my eighth brother … he's already …" Yun Yang closed his eyes. "Your guess is right. He has already entrusted everything to me. That's why I'm pretending to be him … I'm not bad at acting as eighth brother. Other than you, no one else would have noticed …"
Yun Yang's words sounded rather humorous, but both Yun Yang and Shui Wuyin were filled with sorrow. Their hearts were filled with sorrow!
Shui Wuyin stood there dumbfounded, feeling a loud boom in his mind.
Those were countless thunderbolts that formed an earth-shattering bombardment in his mind.
Even his soul seemed to have been blasted into pieces, leaving nothing behind.
However, Yun Yang's voice was still like a nightmare, drilling into his ears continuously.
After a long, long time …
"Do you believe me?" Yun Yang asked.
"I …" Shui Wuyin's gaze was agonized as he said hoarsely, "I do! If I can't even believe the Nine Supremes' words, then there's no one else in this world that I can trust! "
"I hope that you can help me!" Yun Yang said seriously, "Help me, avenge me, help me … finish what we haven't finished yet."
Shui Wuyin shut his eyes tightly and murmured, "Is my boss … really … gone?"
Yun Yang turned his head and did not speak for a long time.
However, the muscle on the side of his face twitched, it was equivalent to giving Shui Wuyin his answer.
"I promise you!"
