The cloud form was formless. Even when it was broken for a moment, it gathered again slowly, as if it was not affected at all.
The golden-robed man snorted and slowly descended. However, his expression became increasingly gloomy.
"Sir, did you find anything?" someone asked.
"No." The man in gold said darkly, "The weather just now was like an impending storm, but there was no rain. It was even moving and dissipating slowly now … I was suspicious and wanted to test it out …"
He said eerily, "I think I was being overly suspicious. Such a situation would hardly appear unless Supreme Wind, Cloud, Thunder, and Water were all here … But I didn't find anything when I looked into the peculiar deific consciousness around me. Even if the Four Supremes aren't dead, it's only been a year. They can't have all improved to the point where they can avoid my senses perfectly. As long as I'm sure that it's not them, it's fine!"
Yun Yang was drenched in cold sweat as he stood on top of it.
If he had not risen another five hundred feet just in case, he would have been crushed by the sword light. Even if the cloud incarnation was not afraid of weapons and his life was not in danger, he would have been injured no matter what and revealed some traces of himself.
Even so, his body, which had suffered a considerable amount of damage, still felt waves of pain all over his body. It was uncomfortable and there was a splitting headache that lingered for a long time.
Just like what the man in gold had said, if it had been Supreme Wind, Thunder, and Water here, they would not have been able to escape his detection. After all, it was impossible for the three of them to improve as much as he had!
Who was the man in gold? How could he be so powerful?
The clouds continued to move slowly while the people below packed up quickly. After a while, the men in black descended the mountain under the lead of the man in gold.
Seeing that the other party had left, Yun Yang had no choice but to return despite his reluctance.
However, when he was close to Tiantang City, he could see the saber light wandering around in the sky, searching for something, scurrying around like a headless fly.
Yun Yang snorted inwardly and rode the cloud up high, leaving quietly.
'I still have many things to do, I don't have time to play hide-and-seek with you …'
…
Somewhere far away.
In a gloomy hall.
First Court King Qinguang was speechless. His head was lowered, spittle splattered all over his head.
"Are you stupid?" A man in white robes and a tall hat had a look of disbelief on his face. "Tell me, are you stupid or not? It's been too many years since I've seen someone as stupid as you! "
Around them, there were seven to eight people who were rolling their eyes and crowding around First Court King Qinguang.
"He's an idiot …"
"I knew he was stupid, but I didn't expect him to be this stupid!"
"He's Two Dumb's father, Big Dumb!"
"Dumber than a pig. In any case, I'm speechless, too speechless …"
"Eighth Brother! You better watch your mouth, you bastard! Don't insult pigs! How can a pig be as stupid as him? Don't praise him with sarcasm … "
First Court King Qinguang stood in the middle pitifully, looking aggrieved. "How could I have known that this would happen?"
"What do you think you can think of?!"
A burly fellow opened his mouth, spittle raining down on First Court King Qinguang's face. "No matter how stupid and stupid he is, he should at least take out the register and have a look! You even skipped this step? And he blamed himself for being cheated?! Can you blame him? "
"Even if his brain is full of sh * t, it shouldn't be like this, right?"
First Court King Qinguang kept his head down as he endured the scolding, pursing his lips and not saying a word.
"But this brat who issued the mission is also a scoundrel. He must be the type with sores on his head and pus on the soles of his feet! I'll go kill him! "
Another person stood up with a furious expression. "Tell me his name quickly, I'll go deal with him! No matter how stupid and stupid my brother is, we can't let him toy with us! "
First Court King Qinguang grinned but did not speak.
"Could it be that you're addicted to being toyed with? Why aren't you telling us who that person is?"
The others pressed on, "Quick, quick! It's fine that we've been tricked, it's fine that we killed He Hanqing, but we can't let this person who tricked us go either! "
The corners of First Court King Qinguang's lips twitched as he said, "I definitely won't tell you this person's name … In other words, you can't kill him …"
The other nine people squealed at the same time, "Are you f * cking stupid? You won't even tell us his name if you don't let us kill him? What are you thinking? "
"Don't tell me you're enjoying being tricked? Are you addicted? You're a pig! Pfft! Why am I comparing blindly again? Don't blame me! "
"I can't f * cking understand … Could it be that this fellow has fallen for the other party's honey trap? Tell me, is that person so outstanding that you've fallen for him? "
"You don't say. Maybe that person is a peerless beauty, forgetting everything in front of a beauty. It's understandable …"
"Even if it's understandable, boss, check him out. Don't tell me he's been hit by some strange secret technique?"
"I think it's more practical to beat him up. Maybe he'll come to his senses." Someone rubbed his palms together, eager to give it a try.
"This person really can't be killed …" First Court King Qinguang was on the verge of tears. "If I could kill him, would I not let you guys go?"
"Why can't we kill him? Does the other party have a strong background or a special identity? "Four to five people asked in unison.
First Court King Qinguang did not speak again.
"Why don't you f * cking let out a fart …" A few of them stomped their feet anxiously, tugging at their hair as they spun in circles. "Since when did you become so f * cking taciturn? Aren't you usually so talkative?"
"This person …"
First Court King Qinguang mumbled, "His identity is very important …"
"How important can it be?" Another person said impatiently, "Even if he's Dugu Chou's illegitimate son, I'll kill him this time! Tell me what you're talking about! "
The corners of First Court King Qinguang's lips twitched as he said, "This person … is either Supreme Wind of the Nine Supremes or Supreme Cloud of the Nine Supremes."
Once First Court King Qinguang's words left his mouth, everyone present shut their mouths.
All nine of them stared at First Court King Qinguang with widened eyes. The eerie hall was silent.
After a long while, someone asked, "How – how did you know? Are you really sure? "
First Court King Qinguang chuckled humorlessly. "How could I not know? One of my Gold-ranked assassins has been subdued by him. I went to look for him and fought him … Don't all of you know about the manifestation power of the Nine Supremes?"
One of the golden-robed men coughed and said, "Are you sure? Or are you just guessing? "
First Court King Qinguang rolled his eyes. "Do all of you really think that I'm that dumb? There must be a reason for this, otherwise, how could things have come to this? "
The brothers fell silent at once.
"I believe no one will forget the past in the Haunting Temple …"
First Court King Qinguang chuckled humorlessly. "Other than eldest and ol 'third, the rest of the brothers were trapped in the strange environment of the Haunting Temple, unable to escape. Although our cultivation method is unique and can temporarily resist the Haunting Temple's strange power, we can't hold on for long. As time passes, we'll still be turned into ghosts by the Haunting Temple and be trapped in there forever …"
"Luckily, it wasn't far from Yutang's battlefield. Coincidentally, Supreme Earth was manipulating the earth dragon to turn the tide of the battle … It was eldest and ol 'third who found Supreme Earth, then Supreme Earth brought his two brothers to overturn the outer layer of the Haunting Temple with the power of the earth. Supreme Wood then guided a large number of plants to penetrate the Haunting Temple. Finally, Supreme Water's power seeped in and broke the Haunting Temple's seal, saving the brothers from their desperate situation. All of us brothers owe the Nine Supremes a huge favor … "
"Although eldest had given them some treasured resources as a token of gratitude, how could we forget this favor? How could we not return it? "
"Although Supreme Earth and the rest didn't know who they were saving, nor did they know the true meaning of what they were doing … they didn't even know that we still have eight brothers down there … but can we really forget their kindness of helping us out then?"
"The reason I wasn't on guard then and was foolishly tricked … was because I'd fought with this person then and was already certain that he was one of the Nine Supremes."
"That's why I stopped, that's why I didn't pursue the matter of him taking me in as a Gold-ranked Assassin and even showed him great kindness." First Court King Qinguang chuckled humorlessly. "That's why I went there immediately when he came looking for me. That's why I agreed without checking when he asked me to kill someone."
"Because I knew that I couldn't reject him, I couldn't reject his request."
"Of course, this was also because I wanted to help him do something from the bottom of my heart."
First Court King Qinguang's face was bitter. "Although I didn't expect the person he wanted to kill to be Supreme Lord Spring Frost – this target was not only out of my expectations, it was also beyond my ability and caught me off guard … I would still accept this request. Actually, whether or not he was playing tricks, I would definitely accept this request! I believe that no matter which of the brothers were in his shoes this time, even if he were to tell everyone that his target was Supreme Lord Spring Frost, would all of you be able to reject it? Who would dare say that he would reject it? "
The other nine people all had bitter smiles on their faces, and there was a hint of awkwardness in them.
Indeed, how could they not acknowledge such a huge favor? There was no way to reject it!
"Although the Nine Supremes don't know who they've helped, we owe this debt of gratitude. We can't just pretend that it never happened, can we?"
First Court King Qinguang said, "According to what we know, most of the Nine Supremes are either dead or injured now … I guess there's only this one left. It's fine if we didn't know about it, but since we know and we've been entrusted by him, we have to fulfill our promise no matter what!"
"A debt of gratitude is the hardest to repay. If we don't repay this person, who else can we repay the favor to? Are we really burying our conscience and fooling ourselves? "
First Court King Qinguang said in grief and indignation, "You call me stupid, stupid, and stupid? Even if I'm stupid, stupid, and stupid in this matter, who asked us to owe him a debt of gratitude? He asked for it, so we have to repay it! Although this fellow might not know about it, we know! "
