"Then, I went to seek medical help but there was no improvement … until I found a doctor who was proficient in mystical Qi. He told me that the problem was with the cultivation method I was cultivating, the Art of Heaven Surpassing Divine. The martial world calls this cultivation method the Art of Solitude."
Mi Kongqun said, "My master gave me the Art of Heaven Surpassing Divine. He knew the pros and cons of cultivating this cultivation method."
"By the time I realized it, it was already too late."
"Even if I were to destroy the cultivation method I had cultivated and even my cultivation base, it would be useless. My body's condition was irreversible!"
Mi Kongqun said, "I went to find my master, wanting to ask for an explanation, but I realized that I couldn't find him anymore."
"Then, I realized that there was nothing else I could pursue other than power … Slowly, I turned from indignation, from shame, from anger, from despair … to acceptance, for the sake of acceptance."
"Five years have passed. Within these five years, I've changed completely, becoming a completely different person. It was then that my master appeared again. "
"He asked me directly, was it bitter?"
"Was it bitter? What do you think? Was it bitter? "
Mi Kongqun chuckled.
Yun Yang said softly, "Then let me guess, your answer then should be … not bitter!"
Mi Kongqun smiled through gritted teeth and said, "That's right. My answer then was indeed not bitter. Since it's already like this, what's the use even if I were to complain? There's no meaning in it at all! "
"My master was pleased to see that I was willing to accept reality, but he also noticed the stiff atmosphere in my home. Seeing how I was living like a year at home … he asked me if I wanted to go out? To change the atmosphere of my life! "
"It was then that I blurted out that I wanted to leave!"
"It turns out that at that time, I already couldn't wait!"
"My master asked me to enter the palace and said, 'Since you can't achieve success as a man, then find another way. As long as you can achieve another success, this life will not be in vain …"
"I chose to enter the palace in the end … until now."
"I haven't been home for a very, very long time."
"Until that day when your Qiu Family kidnapped my family. I went. I saw my wife once again. "
"My wife … she was so beautiful back then, but now she's an old woman with wrinkled skin and white hair!"
Mi Kongqun smirked. "Do you understand that feeling? No, you won't. If you didn't experience it yourself, how would you know what you've been missing? "
Yun Yang kept quiet for a bit and said, "Why did your master harm you like this?"
The resentment on Mi Kongqun's face intensified.
Yun Yang cultivated the Endless Divine Art and calmed his heart down, making it as clear as snow. He then activated the power of his deific consciousness and spread it to its limit. Unexpectedly, he said faintly, "You're not the only one your master has arranged to enter the palace all these years, right?"

Because of this, he naturally didn't hesitate to launch a Divine Sense attack at this moment!
Mi Kongqun felt even more dazed. The warmth of the past that had been buried deep in his heart surfaced one by one; the resentment in him rose like a wildfire. He blurted out without thinking, "Of course, I'm not the only one. The Minister of Imperial Household, Jiang Zhong, came earlier than me."
Yun Yang said, "It can't be just the two of you, can it? Since you are plotting against Norda, if only the two of you participate, how can you stir up such a huge commotion? There will definitely be someone who will come to your aid. "
Mi Kongqun sighed. "Since I want to do something big, I can't do without the military and the government. Even the royal purge this time was mediated by people from both the military and the government … Speaking of which, I only found out recently that we have quite a number of people."
Yun Yang's deific consciousness was working as hard as he could, while Emmie was doing its best to help as well. Yun Yang's tone grew even more indifferent as he said with a smile, "I'm sure there must be something special here that you can't even imagine …"
"It's not just one person." Mi Kongqun smiled coldly. "It's already beyond my imagination that Shen Yushi and Yang Botao are our people. What's even more unexpected is that the top person under the Board of War's Grand Commandant is actually one of us as well. Such power …"
Before his words echoed in the air, Mi Kongqun's gaze flickered with a flicker of emotion that grew more obvious. It was obvious that his self-defense instinct was activated as his deific consciousness struggled violently.
Yun Yang, whose pressure had increased exponentially, was drenched in sweat. His eyes were still staring straight into Mi Kongqun's eyes as he said, "Then, your master is the Four Seasons Tower's …"
Mi Kongqun looked conflicted but he could not help saying, "Of course it's the Four Seasons Tower's Qiu …"
As he spoke, there was a sudden bang. The chair he was sitting on had exploded. He stood up and hollered angrily, "You …"
The saber light in Yun Yang's hand shone with a cold gleam.
The Divine Edge was already stabbed deep into Mi Kongqun's chest.
When he was distracted and was controlled by Yun Yang, he did not have the strength to resist at all when he managed to break free.
Yun Yang's strike had succeeded! Mi Kongqun suddenly quietened down.
Looking at the gleaming saber that had sunk deep into his chest, Mi Kongqun's expression was one of despair.
The saber had entered his heart.
He was dead meat!
Mi Kongqun seemed to have lost his soul, not even the rage of being controlled could be roused. He only looked at the saber in his chest and said in an infinitely calm voice, "Who are you? You're not from the Qiu Family! "
Yun Yang did not expect to succeed so easily. He said, "You're right. I'm indeed not from the Qiu Family. However, you haven't finished your last sentence. Do you still have the mood to continue?"
Mi Kongqun chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Haven't I told you enough?"
Yun Yang said, "To me, I'll never have too much information like this."
Mi Kongqun could feel the saber destroying his meridians in a frenzy, but he did not put up any resistance. He sighed dejectedly and said, "You've grasped the perfect timing. Today is the first time in my life that I've lost my composure."
Yun Yang admitted, "I didn't expect tonight's encounter to be so coincidental, allowing me to reap rewards that far exceed my expectations. It's truly a heaven-sent opportunity. Or perhaps, the heavens bless the kind. Otherwise, why would Keeper Mi suddenly lose his composure on the last day of his life? "
Mi Kongqun chuckled bitterly. "There's a reason for everything. When Ling Xiaozui's sword energy was severely injured that day, it had long triggered my inner demon … It's been cloudy and blustery for the past few days, so I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary … But today … the cold moon shines in the sky … the cold moon shines in the sky …"
"Ling Xiaozui has knocked my cultivation base down to the second peak …"
Mi Kongqun said, "You don't have to be so careful. I'm already a cripple who's bound to die now. There's no room for resistance."
Yun Yang replied, "I know. That's why I want to know more."
Yun Yang spoke with utmost sincerity, "Eunuch Mi has regrets and imperfections in this life. I'm sure Eunuch Mi knows that you no longer have any chance to make up for it now that things have come to this … Although I've ended your life, if Eunuch Mi trusts me, I can still help you fulfill a wish, your last wish."
Mi Kongqun's eyes shone. "What price do you need me to pay in exchange for this?"
Yun Yang answered, "Your master's identity will suffice!"
Mi Kongqun's gaze was conflicted.
Yun Yang said faintly, "I believe that one of the people you hate the most in this life is none other than this person. Whether you say it now or not, you're destined to die … So, it all depends on whether you want to seek revenge and leave a chance for revenge for yourself. "
"If you don't want to, I'll send you on your way without hesitation."
Yun Yang said unhurriedly, "This is the palace's inner court after all. The stench of blood will easily attract trouble. I can't stay for long."
Mi Kongqun chuckled, taking a shaky step back and pulling his body out from the tip of the saber. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
Looking at the gleaming, almost illusory blade, he exclaimed, "Good saber!"
Lifting his head to look at Yun Yang, he asked, "Which Supreme are you among the Nine Supremes?"
Yun Yang kept quiet for a bit before replying in a low voice, "How do you come to such a conclusion?"
Mi Kongqun answered, "Other than the Nine Supremes, no one else has such a deep grudge against the Four Seasons Tower."
"It's said that Wind, Flame, Blood, and Thunder are still alive among the Nine Supremes …" Mi Kongqun asked, "Which one are you?"
A cloud appeared on Yun Yang's fingertip and floated in front of his chest as he spoke slowly, "Not only are Wind, Flame, Blood, and Thunder still alive, I'm still alive as well."
Mi Kongqun's eyes shone as he said in relief, "So it's Supreme Cloud! The Nine Supremes' brains! "
Yun Yang answered, "It's me!"
Mi Kongqun smiled sadly and suddenly bowed deeply. "Supreme Cloud, I'm sorry!"
Yun Yang was taken aback.
Mi Kongqun turned around abruptly and slowly pulled out a wooden box from under his bed, saying, "Lord Supreme Cloud, although we've been enemies and I, Mi Kongqun, have done the Nine Supremes wrong, I'm relieved knowing that you're Supreme Cloud because you're someone I can trust."
"Therefore, please … send this sum of money to my family … Other than that, pass this letter and this jade pendant that looks like the moon on my chest to my wife. Also, have a word with her. "
Mi Kongqun's chest was bleeding profusely, his face turning pale. However, he did not care; his eyes were filled with regret and guilt as he said word by word, "I regret it, I really do. It's a pity that it's too late, there's no turning back now. I really want to watch the moon with her once, just like how we did back then. "
Yun Yang memorized it seriously and said seriously, "I'll remember it!"
"Thank you!" An unprecedentedly relaxed smile hung on Mi Kongqun's face; it was genuine and sincere.
He took two steps back slowly and sat on the edge of his bed, his trembling hands groping for his blanket and pillow. He exhaled slowly and said softly, "Supreme Lord Spring Frost is He Hanqing while my master is Supreme Lord Autumn Frost. Now, he's the Empire of Dayuan's royalty … the first high official."
