Han Sanhe was silent for a long time before he finally spoke in a low voice, "Did anyone notice anything just now?"
The three old marshals beside him nodded quietly.
What did they notice?
Yun Yang could not help but wonder, "Even I didn't notice anything odd?
You fellows did?
I'd like to hear what you fellows have noticed! "
Han Sanhe said, "This old man observed carefully just now. The thick fog that shrouds the Residence of Nine Supremes has always been there. Perhaps this can be overlooked because the Residence of Nine Supremes has always been like this. No matter what happened, it hasn't changed at all. It's probably the foundation of the Nine Heavens Demesne, and it also serves to block the line of sight as much as possible."
"However, the thunder and lightning, the glint of blood, the howling of the wind, and even the raging inferno that surged into the sky, all of them working together to suppress the intruders. It was a terrifying sight to behold …"
Han Sanhe said in a low voice cautiously, "However, the other manifestations such as earth, water, wood, cloud, and metal did not appear to assist in the battle. The meaning behind this is intriguing …"
Once Han Sanhe said this, everyone's gaze flickered.
"Could it be understood that four of the Nine Supremes are still alive?" Han Sanhe felt his voice turning hoarse as well. "Supreme Thunder, Supreme Wind, Supreme Blood, and Supreme Flame – these four Supremes are still alive?"
"The energy that hasn't appeared can be understood as … they are all dead?"
Everyone fell silent at the same time.
Even if they understood it this way, at least four of the Nine Supremes were still alive.
These four people were enough to prop up Yutang. However, where were they now?
…
The rustling sound of sweeping could be heard again. The old soldiers began to sweep the floor meticulously like before. One of the large brooms was about to reach their feet.
"Are you done looking? Are you done? " The old soldier held the broom, his eyes filled with mockery and contempt as he said faintly, "If you're done, leave quickly. If you wish to continue exploring, please leave early. After you leave, we still have to clean this place and scrub it with water. "
Yun Yang was puzzled. "Why do we have to do this?"
"Because this piece of land is dirty. It's been tarnished." The veteran said indifferently and began to sweep the ground again.
Dirty? Tainted?
The generals of the continent were momentarily dumbfounded.
We've only been standing here for a while. How did the ground become dirty? Tainted?
What kind of explanation was that?
Could it be that she had been tainted by us?
Everyone involuntarily took a few steps back, only to see a few one-armed men carrying buckets of water. With a splash, the water splashed onto the ground where everyone had just been standing.
Then, seven or eight veterans bent down and rubbed the ground hard, carefully cleaning it.
Then, another bucket of water …
The eyes of the generals were filled with rage. This … was going too far!
Yun Yang said slowly, "No need to be surprised. This is the respect the people of Yutang have for the Nine Supremes Lords. This respect will not diminish with the passage of time. Although the Nine Supremes Lords are no longer here, this place is still not to be tainted by anyone. In my opinion, cleaning the ground with water is already the greatest courtesy we can offer you. It's a great tolerance that we didn't go up and f * ck you all. Humans must be content. Those who are content will always be happy, those who aren't … "
Yun Yang crossed his arms and faced all the generals in front of him, including Han Sanhe, arrogantly, and said, "Generals, you can ask yourselves, who has the confidence to say that after he's dead, there will still be so many people who would do this for him?"
"Is there anyone who has the confidence to say that after he's dead for a few years, there will still be …"
Yun Yang did not finish his sentence, ending it with a cold chuckle.
The faces of the generals in the camp suddenly turned red.
Looking at Yun Yang's disdainful gaze, even the old generals could not help but feel ashamed. Compared to the silent Residence of Nine Supremes, their achievements in this lifetime were just a drop in the bucket.
"Of course the Nine Supremes are powerful enough. Otherwise, we wouldn't have come here to pay our respects."
The youth in black looked at Yun Yang coldly. "But what are you so proud of? Look at you, it's as if you're one of the Nine Supremes. "
"Let's talk about your first question first. Say, pay your respects. "
Yun Yang's face was full of mockery. "Child, so when you pay your respects to your ancestors, you'll first think about how to dig it up? Or perhaps you'll invite a mighty figure to probe the ancestral graves? I really didn't expect the customs of other countries to be so different from Yutang. Today, I've learned another world. This trip is not in vain, it's not in vain! However, isn't your method of paying respects a little too disrespectful to your ancestors? Anyway, if my descendants dare to treat their ancestors like this, I'll consider it lucky if they don't die. "
The youth in black was at a loss for words, his face flushed and his eyes spitting fire. "You!"
"What about me?" Yun Yang said mercilessly, "I'm just a tour guide. Do you still want to stop me from speaking? I'm sorry, you can stop me from eating but you can't stop me from speaking. "
"Also, I'm proud because the Nine Supremes are in Yutang! They're Yutang's people! Why don't you ask those veterans if they're as proud as I am? We're like the Nine Supremes, we're all Yutang's people. "
Yun Yang raised his head and said, "Besides, Yutang doesn't only have the Nine Supremes, there's also the Shangguan Family of Generals! There's also the Hall of Loyal Soul! "
"What do you have?" Yun Yang chuckled delightedly. "We respect our heroes to such an extent, it comes from our sincerity. But the few of you … I won't talk about it …"
The youth in black said angrily, "Go on! What about us? "
"You? You know your own family best. Do you really want an outsider to talk about it? "
Yun Yang said coldly, "Forget it. I didn't want to open up your scars but since you want to hear it so much, I'll talk about it."
He paused and said, "Let's start with the Empire of Dongxuan. Let's start with your God of War, Han Sanhe. He's the pride of Dongxuan, isn't he? It's a pity that this Marshal Han, who's meritorious to Dongxuan, is an enemy to us who has a blood debt! However, to what extent is your Marshal Han suspected by the royal family in your country now? Do you really need me to say this? "
Yun Yang said faintly, "Let's not talk about anything else. Let's talk about whether Marshal Han can enjoy the same treatment as the Shangguan Family of Generals or the Nine Supremes. I'll only ask Marshal Han Sanhe this – how long do you think your family can survive after you've passed away?"
"Do you dare to speak your mind to me?"
Yun Yang's gaze was like a knife, his words were like a knife as well. Every strike was aimed at the most crucial point.
Han Sanhe paled, speechless for a moment. Yun Yang's words had hit him where it hurt the most.
If Han Sanhe were to die, his family would lose this great umbrella. Annihilation would only be a matter of time. This was something the entire continent could see, it was undeniable.
Before Han Sanhe could answer, Yun Yang turned to look at the other three old marshals from the other three countries. "Marshal Xiao Yuntian of the Empire of Tianci, do you think your position and situation in the Empire of Tianci are any different from Marshal Han's? Perhaps you can confidently say that your situation is better than Marshal Han's, but how much better is this' better '? Is there even a strand of hair? "
Xiao Yuntian's white beard trembled, unable to respond.
"The old marshal who has fainted over there is from the Empire of Dayuan. Your situation must be better than Marshal Han or Marshal Xiao, much better …"
Yun Yang said faintly, "Now that Dayuan's emperor and officials are on good terms, there's nothing to worry about. However, there seems to be a limit to this, or perhaps it's temporary. This young master has heard that His Majesty the Empire of Dayuan's emperor is smart and vigorous despite his age. He even had a little princess a few years ago, but he's still seventy-five years old now, isn't he? He's deposed three or four crown princes in total. The crown prince now has been crown prince for more than ten years, I think he's almost forty … It's said that he's rather anxious for the throne. "
Yun Yang said faintly, "These are all internal affairs of the royal family, they have nothing to do with the old marshal. However, I've also heard that the old marshal and the crown prince before he became crown prince had an affair. Back then, the crown prince who was still a prince had his eyes on the old marshal's granddaughter, but the old marshal was adamant about it. Later on, the granddaughter had mysteriously returned home after an outing and committed suicide … It's said that the old marshal had barged into the palace and beat the crown prince, who was still a prince at the time, into a coma because of this …"
Yun Yang said, "I wonder how well Old Marshal's family will fare after His Highness the crown prince ascends to the throne. Perhaps His Highness the crown prince is wise and mighty, forgetting the past — that's not impossible …"
"Actually, there's no concrete evidence for these gossips. I didn't want to mention it and I shouldn't have. However, why do you all treat our country's hero like this? Don't blame me then. Rumors are always baseless, but there's always a reason behind it! "
Yun Yang's gaze fell on the last old marshal and said faintly, "You must be the Empire of Ziyou's Marshal Zi. I've only mentioned you last because your situation is the most stable. There's basically nothing much to say. After all, Marshal Zi is of royal blood and is His Majesty's biological brother from the same mother … Your situation is as stable as a mountain. But … there are some things, Old Marshal, do I need to be frank? "
Marshal Zi gritted his teeth and said, "Then there's no need to say it."
Yun Yang turned to look at the Residence of Nine Supremes and said faintly, "The Empire of Yutang's emperor is at the prime of his life and possesses a profound cultivation base. No matter what, it's only a matter of time before he reigns for another thirty years. What happened to your side won't happen here. You all can't deny this, can you?"
"Besides, for more than a hundred years, the Empire of Yutang's military generals have held military power in each generation. The military power in the empire's generals' hands is more than seventy percent. However, have the past emperors ever suspected anyone? "
