First Court King Qinguang thought so.
Other than his outstanding looks, Yun Yang was truly mediocre in every other aspect. He was sly and cunning; First Court King Qinguang would only be at a disadvantage if he were to go against this fellow.
Forget it, he was too straightforward. It was really not suitable for him to talk to this troublemaker!
If he were to continue, he might be tricked again.
First Court King Qinguang did not say anything more and sent the message.
Not long after, nine people brought He Hanqing's belongings in a single file. The items they brought could be said to be of great importance. It seemed like even a small piece of paper had been packed.
Yun Yang even suspected that these assassins had cleaned the entire He Residence after killing He Hanqing.
"These are all my men. Each and every one of them is insensible. If they've offended Young Master Yun in any way, I'll teach them a good lesson when I get back. "
First Court King Qinguang said proudly.
These words made the nine "subordinates" suddenly decide in their hearts that they would definitely beat him up when they got back!
First Court King Qinguang said, "This time, all of you are exhausted. My children … this is Young Master Yun who gave us this mission. "
The words' my children 'made the nine of them clench their teeth in anger.
They chuckled and went forward to greet Yun Yang.
"Young Master Yun is indeed talented and has an outstanding appearance. No wonder he could give out such a deceptive mission …"
"Young Master Yun, I've heard so much about you."
After some small talk, King Qinguang left with his nine subordinates.
A gloomy fog quietly rose up, and the ten people melted into the fog before disappearing.
Watching the Concourse of the Underworld leave, Yun Yang scratched his head subconsciously. He still felt that something was not right, or rather, it was too wrong!
"This isn't right. I've tricked them. Even if they didn't come looking for trouble with me before killing He Hanqing, now that He Hanqing is dead and our partnership has come to an end, why haven't they made a move? They're even willing to help me without asking for anything … The only rebuke they have is First Court King Qinguang's nonchalant words. If this counts as settling scores after the fall, isn't it too easy for them?"
"Why is this so?"
Lao Mei walked out. "Young Master, these people are not simple."
Yun Yang smiled faintly. "First Court King Qinguang is too heartless, treating me like an idiot. The cultivation base of the nine people who came later is no weaker than First Court King Qinguang, perhaps even stronger. They must be the other nine among the ten Yama Kings of the Concourse of the Underworld!"
Lao Mei was stunned for a moment.
The ten Yama Kings of the Concourse of the Underworld had come out in full force?
"It's just that … they came together to deliver things to me … This is very strange. I have a very subtle but real feeling now, that is … they came to see what I look like … but they don't have any ill intentions."
"This is really strange."
Shui Wuyin walked out with a head that looked like a chicken's nest. Looking at the things in the courtyard, his expression instantly turned bitter as if he had eaten tens of kilograms of bitter gourd.
He had been busy until today to get some progress on the things he had gotten the last time. Now, it seemed that these things would belong to him again …
"Although this is strange, young master need not be too surprised."
Shui Wuyin said, "Since they didn't choose to turn against you and instead expressed their goodwill, then … the Concourse of the Underworld wants to be on good terms with young master. Although they must have their reasons for doing so, we don't have to care about this now. It's all in the future. Young master only needs to observe quietly and the truth will come to light. "
Yun Yang mused, "You're right. We really don't have the time to consider this now."
"However, from today onwards …"
Shui Wuyin was all smiles as he said, "Young master has gained a powerful helper out of nowhere! The Concourse of the Underworld killed He Hanqing this time and didn't turn against us. This means that they've become sworn enemies with the Four Seasons Tower. Whether they're willing or not, we're all grasshoppers tied to the same rope in the future … "
"You're the grasshopper! Don't use a metaphor if you don't know how to use one! "
Yun Yang glared at him. "See that? These are all He Hanqing's things. They belong to you now. Go back and tidy them up quickly, see if you can find new clues. "
Shui Wuyin groaned, "I knew it would be like this …"
However, Yun Yang had already disappeared, leaving behind only one sentence.
"The few of you, no matter what method you use, whether it's risking your life or whatever, you have to make a breakthrough in your abilities in this period of time. All in all, go to the highest limit that you can reach!"
"The Four Seasons Tower's frenzied revenge will come very soon!"
…
In the secret chamber.
He Hanqing's head was placed upright on the table. His hair was white but there seemed to be a lingering trace of fear in his eyes.
This Supreme Lord Spring Frost of the Four Seasons Tower, whose name had once shaken the world, had committed many evils throughout his life, killing countless people and resorting to all kinds of cruel methods. He was a man who had committed countless crimes. Would he still feel fear when he was about to die?
Yun Yang looked at him coldly for a while and began to check the important items that He Hanqing had brought with him when he escaped.
These were the only things that held He Hanqing's true secrets. These were the things that He Hanqing truly cared about.
The first thing that caught his eye was a jade pendant.
This jade pendant was an oceanic blue, like the color of the deep ocean when the sun was at its brightest.
It was dreamy and unfathomable!
Upon closer inspection, Yun Yang realized that there seemed to be spots of light that were flickering within.
Yun Yang could vaguely feel that they were the twinkling stars in the night sky.
The edges of the jade pendant were smooth to the touch. It was obvious that He Hanqing had been toying with this jade pendant for a long time.
In this world, the colors of jade were mostly yellow, green, and white. Crimson and black were relatively rare, while blue jade was even rarer. As for jade that was as blue as this jade pendant that was glowing with an inexplicable light, it was almost impossible to say that it was unique. Yun Yang had never even heard of it anyway.
When he held this jade pendant in his hand, it felt no different from an ordinary jade pendant, but Yun Yang had a strange feeling in his heart.
This jade pendant was not simple, it was not simple at all!
After a moment of contemplation, Yun Yang tried to pinch it with his hands. Initially, he exerted little force, so it did not budge. Gradually, he applied more force, but it still did not budge. Yun Yang had exerted all of his cultivation base, but there was still no reaction from the jade pendant.
Yun Yang was taken aback.
With his current strength, even if it was a piece of Stellar Steel in his hand, even if he could not pinch it flat, he should at least be able to leave an obvious mark!
However, this jade pendant was unmoved by his strongest force, as if it did not see it.
What was this thing?
Yun Yang thought about it and took out a short sword. He tried to cut it, but it still did not budge. He then switched to the refined steel sword and infused his cultivation base into it. He slashed with his sword energy, but it still did not budge. In the end, Yun Yang made up his mind and took out a small hammer, smashing it with all his might …
Then, it broke. It was the head of the hammer that was broken, but the jade pendant remained in its original state, unscathed!
"So hard?"
Yun Yang was truly surprised by what he saw.
What was this thing? How could it be so hard? Yun Yang, who did not believe it, took out the Divine Edge.
The Divine Edge was the sharpest blade Yun Yang had ever seen. It was incomparably sharp. Before this, no one, nothing, or even any cultivation method could withstand a slash from this saber. Even someone as strong as Venerable Lord Saber would be injured by this saber. He did not believe that the Divine Edge could not cut this strange jade pendant!
Yun Yang held the saber in his hand and hesitated subconsciously. Then, he swung the saber!
Clang!
The Divine Edge bounced up.
There was still no mark on the blue jade.
The Divine Edge, which had always been successful and unbreakable, could not achieve anything in front of this jade pendant!
Yun Yang quickly checked the blade of the Divine Edge. When two strong forces clashed, if one side was unharmed, the other side would be the one who was hurt. The small hammer was no match for the jade pendant just now, and it had broken into pieces. Fortunately, the blade of the Divine Edge was not damaged at all!
After the strike, Yun Yang suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.
It was fine if the weapons in this world could not damage this jade pendant. But even the Blade of Heaven's Will could not damage it?
Did this not mean that this jade pendant was an existence of the same level as the Divine Edge?
How could He Hanqing have such a good item in his hands?
Looking at the smooth surface of the jade pendant from being rubbed, Yun Yang could imagine that He Hanqing had been holding this jade pendant for more than a decade or even decades … it might have been a lifetime.
He Hanqing must have known that this jade pendant was not an ordinary item. That was why he had been holding it in his hands and studying it whenever and wherever he wanted. However, he had not made any discoveries even until his death.
"Emmie!"
"Ayaya …"
"Look at this jade pendant." Yun Yang tossed the jade pendant in.
It landed on Emmie's root.
"Ayaya?" Emmie extended a vine curiously and flipped the jade pendant over. It observed it for a long time, but it did not provide any further insights.
"Ayaya?"
Emmie lifted the jade pendant up and tied it with its vine, like a child holding something in front of its eyes to study it curiously.
The rhythm of life did not stop crashing into the jade pendant.
Yun Yang watched with widened eyes.
This was probably the first time Emmie had not kept a good item that it had obtained.
Not only was Yun Yang surprised, but Emmie was as well. This stone was obviously a good item, better than all the others before it, but why couldn't it absorb it?
However, what happened next surprised Yun Yang and Emmie even more …
The rich air of vitality that Emmie had released vanished the moment it sprayed onto the jade pendant.
…
"I wanted to write this jade pendant as some kind of legacy jade pendant, but after thinking about it today, I've discarded this line. Yun Yang no longer needed any legacy, so he wanted to give this item another origin.
