Legend had it that Dugu Chou was invincible and lonely in the mortal world. However, just as he was about to break through the void, he met a peerless beauty. He fell into the trap of love.
Unfortunately, this beauty was physically weak and could not cultivate. Dugu Chou took good care of her and spent ten years with her. Finally, the beauty passed away. Heartbroken and disheartened, Dugu Chou went into seclusion.
He built a hut beside his dead wife's grave.
The only Stellar Wood of Onyx in this world was behind his dead wife's grave. It was like a giant umbrella that covered the sky, covering the grave and the grass.
If I had been a heavenly guest, I could have been a heavenly guest; half a step into the ethereal realm. As long as I wanted to, I could have taken the other half step, but for the sake of the beauty, I was too late.
That was how it was.
Since then, the world had never seen Dugu Chou again.
However, there were too many legends about Dugu Chou in this world. Later on, Tianxuan Continent was filled with experts, deified and legendary experts, but no one's reputation could surpass Dugu Chou's!
Titles such as the Unrivaled Expert or Unrivaled Swordsman would change every few years, but no one dared to claim the title of 'Unrivaled Expert of the Age'!
In the human realm where there was no first in literature and no second in martial arts, this was the one and only legend!
Looking at the plaque, recalling the legend and the name, the four young masters were completely dumbfounded! They could only feel their heads buzzing.
Four pairs of eyes stared at Yun Yang with wide eyes, shock written all over their faces.
Legend had it that the Stellar Wood of Onyx was the symbol of Dugu Chou's identity. There was only one such piece in this world! Now, the Onyx Wood was in their hands.
Dongfang Mingtian felt like his palm had been scalded by a piece of red-hot metal. He put the Stellar Wood of Onyx down quickly, the smile on his face turning into an odd one.
The four young masters' chuckles turned dry as well.
"Brother Yun … you and Senior Dugu?"
Yun Yang sighed, his face full of respect. "This is the token my master gave me, it's also a greeting gift … Yun Yang's skills are lacking and I still have to rely on my master's name to stay alive … I've let my master down …"
The four young masters felt their minds go blank.
What were they here for today?
They were not here to make friends.
Why would Dugu Chou suddenly appear out of nowhere?
How were they supposed to play?
This ninth level profound beast cub … what to do with it?
DongFang Mingtian sucked in a breath of cold air as his face stiffened. Forcing a smile, he said, "This, who would have thought … Cough cough, Brother Yun, you have such a master, how could you … Hehehe …"
Ximen Wandai came to a sudden realization. "That's right, if you had such a master, why is your cultivation so low now?"
These were all young masters of aristocratic families. They were knowledgeable and could tell at a glance that Yun Yang's physique was not bad, but his cultivation base was extremely weak!
Not to mention the experts of the Five or Six Mountains, he probably hadn't even climbed half of the mountain yet.
It was so weak that it was unimaginable.
Yun Yang chuckled meaningfully and said, "Perhaps what all of you are more curious about is not this, but why master would take me in as a disciple. Or perhaps … he still has doubts about this matter … "
The four young masters shook their heads like rattle-drums. "No, no."
It would be weird if he didn't!
Yun Yang smiled and said, "My physique is not suitable for cultivation …"
Under the four pairs of dumbfounded gazes, Yun Yang said leisurely, "Mistress and I … have the same physique!"
"Oh …"
The four of them heaved a long sigh of relief. They finally understood!
Why would an immortal of a generation accept such a useless disciple?
So that was it!
It was still the obsession in his heart!
"Although I'm blessed by the heavens, my meridians are a mess. I can't cultivate them, so …" Yun Yang sighed dejectedly, "Master has destroyed all my meridians. Now, they're growing again. I wonder how far they'll grow …"
"It was for my safety that master searched for ninth level mystical beast cub all over the world. Finally, he sent word three months ago … that he had one."
Yun Yang lifted his head to look at Ximen Wandai. "So, I dared to bet with you! But I couldn't bear to, didn't dare to, and wanted to retreat. Young Master Ximen, have all your doubts been answered now? "
"Yes, yes." Ximen Wandai was a little flustered.
By now, the doubts in everyone's hearts had indeed all been resolved.
Looking at Yun Yang, they could not help but feel conflicted.
This fellow was very lucky to have a master whom no one could afford to offend, but it was a pity that he himself was a good-for-nothing. His master had taken him in as a disciple because of his inner demons; his meridians were the same as his mistress'.
To put it bluntly, he was only a test subject for his master.
Even his meridians had been destroyed to cultivate again …
All in all, Yun Yang was fortunate, but also unfortunate.
The four young masters made their judgment at the same time.
What Yun Yang said was true.
Dugu Chou was really his master.
Otherwise, the Stellar Wood of Onyx would never be in his hands! In this world, only Dugu Chou could have the Stellar Wood of Onyx! Furthermore, the wood had been found at his deceased wife's grave, so Dugu Chou had treated it like a treasure. Even if a nation's emperor or a martial world's most respected individual were to ask for it, he would never agree to it.
In that case, the egg of the ninth level mystical beast, the Golden-Winged Bird, should be real as well. In this world, other than Dugu Chou, they could not think of anyone else who could match the Golden-Winged Bird's speed, let alone kill it and obtain its egg.
Combined with Yun Yang's conflicted expression after being provoked on the day of the bet and regretting it later on, the four young masters were even more certain of the truth of the matter.
If I had misspoken, I would have regretted it too. I would have rushed to deny it and ruin the bet!
…
However, if that was the case, the family's original plan to deal with the Residence of Yun could not be used. Therefore, the four young masters had decided on a strategy to deal with Yun Yang in their minds.
They could not be too harsh with Yun Yang, but they could not be too close to him either. However, killing him was out of the question.
Although Yun Yang's master was amazing, he obviously did not have a bright future … everyone could see that.
Dongfang Mingtian thought to himself, 'Let's get along first, don't offend him, but don't get too close either. Wait until his ninth level mystical beast arrives and see if it's true. What if he's lying now? Wouldn't it be a joke for eternity if he were to get close to him? '
Ximen Wandai thought, 'If his master is Dugu Chou, it's fine to lose to him … but it's impossible to get too close to him. It's also impossible to recoup the loss from his hands. ' Thinking of the loss, Young Master Ximen's expression was rather ferocious. His eyes darted around, his thoughts unknown.
Nangong Bubai looked like a brute, but he was thinking, 'If I can form a good relationship … even if I can't be related to Dugu Chou, just the identity of Dugu Chou's disciple …
Maybe … it's possible?
But this Young Master Yun's temperament is quite to my liking. If I can befriend him sincerely, it doesn't seem impossible … '
Beiye Qingkong was thinking, 'If I wait for the ninth level mystical beast cub to arrive and kill Yun Yang without anyone knowing, wouldn't the cub be mine? A ninth level mystical beast cub needs at least a hundred years to grow. I'll hide it during this period of time. Dugu Chou isn't a god … '
How could he know?
The four young masters each had their own thoughts.
Yun Yang had already kept the Stellar Wood of Onyx token.
Once the token was in his robe, it disappeared without a trace and turned into a saber embroidered on Yun Yang's sleeve.
How could Yun Yang have the Stellar Wood of Onyx token?
He was not Dugu Chou's disciple either.
However, Yun Yang felt that it was no big deal to use this name to protect himself for a period of time with the ever-changing ability of the Divine Edge. Dugu Chou wouldn't know anyway …
Besides, what could he do even if he knew?
Yun Yang could not care less.
'Even if the whole world is against me, I won't care, what more you, Dugu Chou?'
…
Although Yun Yang tried to persuade them to stay, the four young masters still left.
After a warm farewell and setting a date for their next meeting, the four young masters left.
They had come with their heads held high and chests puffed out, but they left quietly and amicably. They had wanted to snatch the ninth level mystical beast cub first and then flatten the Yun Family. Who would have thought that they would be shouldering a huge threat instead?
Dugu Chou …
Thinking of this name, the four young masters felt like they had been f * cked. To think that the eight noble families were supreme. Although we four young masters were not the direct heirs of our families, in this continent, even the princes of the five empires had to be courteous when they saw us.
Even cautious.
Who would have thought that they would meet something like this today?
For a moment, the four young masters were filled with resentment towards the person who had held the mystical beast tournament in Tiantang City this year. What city could you have held it in? Why did it have to be held in Tiantang City?
What a shame! His prestige had fallen to the ground!
F * cking hell!
Looking at the silhouettes of the four young masters leaving, Yun Yang squinted his eyes slightly, thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind.
First, I stirred up a storm, then I brought out a god to suppress their restless hearts. However, the storm is still the storm, the source of the chaos is still in my hands.
From today onwards, at least I, Yun Yang, have a place in all of your hearts!
That is enough!
It seems that I can begin now?
…
Just as the four of them left, Ji Ling jumped out and asked Yun Yang with wide eyes, "Are you Senior Dugu Chou's disciple?"
Her big, pretty eyes were filled with disbelief.
Yun Yang stroked his chin, "Show me your true face and I'll tell you."
"Pfft!" Ji Ling raised her head, "Who wants to know?"
Yun Yang was alarmed. He had managed to fool these fellows into leaving just now and the crisis had passed, but he was actually feeling a little unsettled. Had he been joking with his words just now? This would not do. With a thought, he changed the topic with a smile, "Is your wolf cub obedient now?"
His words drew all of Ji Ling's attention as she said excitedly, "Not bad, what did you do? The cub is so obedient that I'm over the moon, haha … "
As she spoke, she released the wolf cub and ordered it to perform actions and imitate her. She even ordered the cub to stand up, walk on its hind legs, walk on its front legs …
Yun Yang felt a little dizzy.
