"There's no antidote for the Soul-Sealing Spike. Everyone in the world knows this. "
"However, the Soul-Sealing Spike has its origins. It's from the School of Spring and Autumn … it's the school's unique secret weapon."
"Could this youth be related to the School of Spring and Autumn? Is the School of Spring and Autumn related to the Four Seasons Tower? Spring and Autumn? But it occupies half of the four seasons. Is it a coincidence or is there something else? "
"Also, the poison of the Soul-Sealing Spike is somewhat similar to the poison in His Majesty … Could it be …"
In Yun Yang's heart, it was like a huge, intricate machine was operating meticulously.
Yun Yang could clearly feel that he seemed to have grasped something, found something …
…
Yun Yang did not sleep that night. He was only pretending to be asleep the entire time, pretending to be drunk. However, it was not only Yun Yang who did not sleep well. Too many people did not sleep well either. To be more precise, the entire Tiantang City did not sleep well.
For the latter half of the night, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled as the wind howled. It only stopped when it was almost dawn.
The rumbling of thunder and lightning and the howling wind caused half of Tiantang City to tremble.
Later on, one or a few strange roars could be heard continuously, but they were drowned out by the even more persistent thunder. …
Everyone was waiting.
Waiting for a result.
However, to everyone's knowledge, Yun Yang had slept exceptionally soundly. The reason they came to such a conclusion was that there were many who had come to check on Young Master Yun's sleeping state. However, seeing that Young Master Yun had not even changed his position from the beginning to the end, sleeping like a pig with thunderous snores, they could only shake their heads speechlessly.
This fellow could really sleep.
The lightning and thunder were so loud that the ground was almost turning upside down. It was the end of the world outside, yet this fellow could still sleep so soundly. Could it be that he was fighting it with his thunderous snoring?
Was his thunderous snoring really that effective?
However, no one was interested in paying attention to him anymore.
Because what happened last night really shocked everyone to the point of indescribable, shocking fear!
The nations' losses at the Residence of Nine Supremes last night had been immense.
Yun Yang's guess was right. They were only there to scout during the day, but at night, it was their main show against the Residence of Nine Supremes.
The existence of the Residence of Nine Supremes in Yutang was like a sharp sword that was always hanging over the heads of other countries. Thinking back to the Nine Supremes' invincible prowess back then, thinking about how the Nine Supremes could sweep the battlefield with their insignificant cultivation base combined with the power bestowed by the Nine Heavens Demesne, they were invincible.
How could he not covet it?
The Nine Supremes seemed to be dead and had disappeared, but there were signs that indicated that there were still people alive among the Nine Supremes! Even if it could be confirmed that at least half of the Nine Supremes were dead, the remaining few were still not to be underestimated. They still had the ability to stir up a storm and turn the world upside down.
Besides, the Nine Heavens Demesne was right here. What if the Empire of Yutang had completed the Nine Supremes?
This, this is not impossible, right?
He had to eliminate this hidden danger and nip it in the bud!
Even if he could not bring the Nine Heavens Demesne back to study and use it for his own use, he could at least destroy it.
It was based on this mentality that the other countries had still sent out a large number of people despite the presence of Dayuan's legend, Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand, and Brother Fei, who was severely injured, during the day. There were a total of eighteen top-notch experts and six high-level mystical beasts!
The lineup was extravagant. If these people attacked together, they were confident that they could defeat Ling Xiaozui even if they were to face him head-on.
This formidable combat force that the other countries had high hopes for split into twenty-four directions and attacked the Residence of Nine Supremes at the same time.
Unfortunately, not a single one of them made it out!
Not only the top-notch experts, but even the six high-level mystical beasts, especially the two eighth-level flying mystical beasts, did not make it out!
The thunder and lightning in the Residence of Nine Supremes and the howling of the wind lasted for the entire night, only returning to peace at dawn. However, the Residence of Nine Supremes was still the Residence of Nine Supremes, unshaken and no different from the day before. However, the eighteen experts and six high level Xuan Beasts that entered had all disappeared without a trace, and there were no longer any signs of life.
Like a clay ox sinking into the sea, they had collapsed, never to be seen again.
However, after losing so many top-notch combat forces, not even the slightest bit of information about the Residence of Nine Supremes had been obtained! Not even a single tile of the Residence of Nine Supremes had been damaged!
Not even the shape of the clouds above the Residence of Nine Supremes had been damaged!
This result was unacceptable to the other countries. Other than the Empire of Dongxuan, the other three countries were filled with regret!
They had suffered a huge loss this time …
The next morning, Yun Yang woke up and walked out groggily. He washed his face while staggering, finally looking much more energetic.
In the hall, Han Sanhe and the youth dressed in black watched him from the corner of their eyes.
Yun Yang had only taken two steps before he began to scratch his thigh with his right hand, seemingly unintentionally. He scratched it forcefully, then another two steps and continued to scratch it forcefully …
"It's so itchy, why is it so itchy …" Yun Yang frowned. "The legendary Tower to Heaven Inn's top-notch guest room actually has so many mosquitoes. It doesn't live up to its reputation …"
There was a smile in the youth's eyes; it was the smugness of his plan succeeding.
Han Sanhe heaved a soft sigh of relief as well. It looked like the Soul-Sealing Spike had really entered Yun Yang's bloodstream. Then, it was not a complete loss …
"Where are we going to play today?"
Yun Yang had taken a huge piece of mystical beast meat out of nowhere. His mouth was covered in grease as he asked with a lisp, "Bosses, which brothel do you want to go to? Have you figured it out after thinking for a whole night? Just say it, no problem at all. "
The youth in black frowned and said impatiently, "Can you not mention the word brothel?"
Yun Yang answered readily, "Alright. Which brothel do you want to go to?"
The youth in black was exasperated. "Can you say something less vulgar?"
"Sure, which brothel do you want to go to? Is this elegant enough? "Yun Yang asked.
"…"
The generals from the Empire of Dongxuan ignored him while the generals from the other empires looked grim. No one spoke for a long while.
No one was in a good mood. Who would be interested in talking to him? They did not even want to quarrel anymore.
Han Sanhe sighed and said, "Let us pay our respects to the family of generals today …"
Once he said that, Han Sanhe felt a wave of discomfort wash over him.
This meant that the other empires had completely given up on the Residence of Nine Supremes' operation from now on.
Dongxuan did not send anyone out last night, preserving their strength. However, the more it was so, the more alert Han Sanhe was. Since the Residence of Nine Supremes was so powerful, would there be a chance for it to be used again in the future? Would there be a new Nine Supremes?
What came next was to find those who were still alive among the Nine Supremes and destroy them at all costs.
Otherwise …
This sword that was hanging above their heads could fall at any time.
Han Sanhe's suggestion was unanimously agreed upon by the other old marshals.
Even those who were frowning were nodding their heads in agreement.
When they walked out of the door, Yun Yang did a seemingly unintentional count and exclaimed in surprise, "This isn't right. The number of people isn't right. There are two hundred of you. Even if one was trapped in the Residence of Nine Supremes yesterday and another is severely injured, there should be at least one hundred and ninety-eight people left. Why are there only one hundred and eighty now? Where are the others? Have they ascended to heaven? "
The generals glared at him as if they wanted to devour him.
This fellow's mouth was truly despicable; he just had to touch on a sore spot!
However, Yun Yang's question was completely reasonable and logical. Yun Yang's current official identity was that of a tour guide sent by Yutang. It was natural for him to count the number of people and ask about the whereabouts of those who were missing. However, the other empires did not know how to answer him. They could not possibly say, "Those people who went on a mission last night have all died, can they?"
They were here as guests, at least on the surface.
"Go look for them quickly."
Yun Yang reminded them kindly, "It won't be good if we miss someone. Could it be that they're still sleeping after drinking too much last night? Their alcohol tolerance is a little low, they've only drunk so little … "
A general said with a dark expression, "There's no need to look for them. Since they haven't come out yet, it means that they don't want to participate in today's mission."
"What are you talking about?"
Yun Yang asked in confusion, "Don't they respect the Shangguan Family of Generals?"
Before his words echoed in the air, his tone turned indignant as he said angrily, "Why don't they go to the family of generals? What do you mean? Quickly call them over. This is too much! This is too much! "
All the generals had the urge to strangle him. "Those people are all dead. Where are we going to get them to call for help?" If we really go, not only will we not be able to call them back, we won't be able to come back as well!
"There's no need to be so serious. The Shangguan Family of Generals and the generals of other empires have been enemies for generations, there's a deep grudge between them. Not everyone has to respect them completely; our standpoints are different after all. If they don't want to go, then they don't want to go. Let us go."
Han Sanhe's expression was dark as he said, "There's no need to dwell on these minor details!"
Yun Yang widened his eyes and did not say anything else, but his mouth continued to grumble and grumble; no one knew what he was cursing. One of the men came closer and heard, "A bunch of bastards, not worshipping the family of generals when you've come to Yutang. I curse your entire family to die, to die without descendants, to have green smoke rising from your ancestral graves …"
He almost fell to the ground with a somersault.
This bastard's curse was too vicious!
