Yun Yang snorted, "Confess to me. I'm going to kill tonight and destroy the Second Month Branch of the Four Seasons Tower's Hall of Spring!"
He grabbed Jiang Cheng's confession and flew out quickly. With a flash, he turned into a hurricane!
Surrounded by boundless murderous intent, he rushed out!
Yun Yang's murderous intent could not be contained at all. It did not subside just because he had killed Jiang Cheng with his own hands.
Yun Zuiyue's matter had made his heart suddenly become unprecedentedly violent. Now that he had obtained a large list of hidden members, he was even more anxious than before.
Now, he only wanted to kill all the people of the Four Seasons Tower!
Leave no one alive!
At this time, he happened to have a list of the Four Seasons Tower in his hand.
That night.
A whole night had passed. The wind was howling, circling and wreaking havoc above Tiantang City!
The smell of blood was getting thicker and thicker!
Yun Yang would not kill the innocent, nor would he listen to Jiang Cheng's side of the story and start a massacre.
Jiang Cheng's confession only provided a direction.
With Yun Yang's various shapeshifting techniques, he easily found the people on the list and identified whether these people were from the Four Seasons Tower through their personal conditions. After confirming their identities, he interrogated them and then beheaded the target. It was a one-stop business!
Wherever the wind passed, the Four Seasons Tower's hidden members were like leaves swept by the autumn wind, caught and beheaded in Yun Yang's hands.
Beheaded!
Beheaded!
When it came to the extremists, Yun Yang killed his trusted subordinates as well. Being associated with the Four Seasons Tower's people was already courting death. He deserved to die!
Throughout the night, eighteen families had suffered; three hundred and seven people were beheaded. It was truly a sea of heads.
These people all belonged to the Four Seasons Tower or were related to them. There was no mistake about it.
Although Yun Yang's hands were stained with blood, he had no burden and no worries.
A massive amount of air of injustice flowed in continuously.
The only thing that disappointed Yun Yang was that these people did not know about the incident in Cirrus House last night!
There was a cracking sound.
Abruptly, Yun Yang twisted the last man's neck and vanished into the wind.
However, Yun Yang's heart was not at ease at all. It was still heavy.
Why?
After killing so many people and interrogating so many people, no one knew the inside story of the Cirrus House incident!
In that case, what was going on with Cirrus House?
How could it suddenly be destroyed? Without any warning, he was reduced to ashes. No matter how he investigated, there was not the slightest clue.
Why was the Four Seasons Tower completely unaware of what had happened in Cirrus House?
Could it be that the people he found were too low-level and did not have access to any information related to Cirrus House?
Or were there other reasons?
What … what was going on?
The incident at Cirrus House was the biggest obstacle in Yun Yang's heart right now. If it was not resolved soon, it might turn into an inner demon. Yun Yang had wanted to look for Fu Baoguo directly and see if he could get any other clues from this person, but it was already morning and the spiritual Qi in his body had already formed a tsunami that was about to break through.
Yun Yang could no longer suppress it.
Yun Yang had killed more than three hundred people in one night. This number had long exceeded the number that Emmie needed to level up.
Previously, he was only a few people away from breaking through to the third stage of the mystical art.
In fact, Yun Yang had already felt like breaking through after killing He Hanqing. It was just that he had forcefully suppressed it that time!
After that, he had ordered Emmie to forcefully suppress it so that he could not break through the current realm!
At that time, Yun Yang had already reached the seventh peak of mystical Qi. According to Yun Yang's estimation, if he were to really break through, he would at least reach the eighth peak pinnacle or even the ninth peak.
However, after tonight, Emmie had sent a message to Yun Yang. Its suppressive assistance had reached its limit. Yun Yang had had a series of fortuitous encounters in the past few days and had accumulated an extraordinary amount of spiritual Qi. Especially after killing more than three hundred people in one go tonight, Emmie had accumulated a large amount of spiritual Qi. It needed to be used for a breakthrough. Forcefully suppressing it would be as bad as falling short!
It had exceeded him by too much!
Yun Yang did not want to break through again previously mainly because his cultivation base was advancing at an unusually fast pace. It was inevitable that his foundation would be unstable. That was why he had used Emmie's assistance and self-control to suppress the progress of his cultivation base. However, during this period of time, he had continuously fought and sparred with He Hanqing, fought against Venerable Lord Saber, fought against Jiang Cheng, and even killed eighteen of the Four Seasons Tower's remnants and their henchmen in one night.
Although it had only been a few days, it had been a series of battles. Almost every opponent's cultivation base was higher than Yun Yang's. Throughout the entire process, he had fought against those of a higher level. Such combat training was enough to solidify his current foundation.
Furthermore, the banquet the other day, with the flesh and blood essence of eighteen surpassing mystical beasts and the aid of mystical spiritual wine, had increased Yun Yang's accumulated foundation to an appalling level. The so-called lack of foundation was no longer applicable to Yun Yang!
Since he could no longer suppress it now, there was no need to do so anymore. Yun Yang felt that it was almost time for him to break through!
Although it was not all, his goal was clear. It would not be too late to do so after the breakthrough!
He believed that his chances would be greater after the breakthrough!
He would have more capital to deal with the Four Seasons Tower!
…
Then, the entire Tiantang City was shaken.
Most people did not know what had happened in the palace the other night, at least the common people of Yutang did not know. However, it had only been a day and the entire Tiantang City was filled with the stench of blood. Even if the common people did not know what had happened, they knew that it was unusual and that many people had died.
Out of the eighteen officials who had the status and background of the Four Seasons Tower, six families had been annihilated while the remaining seven to eight families, except for the women and children, were all killed!
Even the guards and servants were not spared.
The blood of the dead flowed like a stream!
When the Board of Justice heard the news, they were frantically busy.
He rushed all over the place to investigate, but just as he was about to start his work, he was called back again.
…
Jiang Cheng's confession, the name list, and the background information of the eighteen officials that Yun Yang had killed … Everything had been placed in Old Marshal Qiu's study room. Of course, Qiu Jianhan dared not delay it. He had sent the information to the palace and presented it to His Majesty the emperor as soon as he had finished reading it.
However, Yun Yang had omitted the part about Fu Baoguo from the confession.
Speaking of which, Fu Baoguo was wrongly accused, being controlled by He Hanqing's Art of Soul Shifting. Now that He Hanqing was dead, Yun Yang still had to consider how to deal with Fu Baoguo.
"Bang!"
His Majesty slammed his palm on the table, trembling all over.
After reading the confession, most of the things that he could not figure out or had no clue about before had been answered at this moment.
Everything had turned out to be like this!
Jiang Cheng!
Jiang Zhong … That loyal and devoted old steward had already been dead for decades!
The one who had been impersonating him was actually Jiang Cheng!
Jiang Zhong's twin brother?
There were countless incidents in the imperial harem, countless people had died unexplainably, and many of them had pained His Majesty. However, when he had ordered for a thorough investigation, there had been no clear response.
It was as if those people had died unexplainably.
Even though it looked like they deserved it, there were many suspicious points when one thought about it carefully.
However, it was difficult to find concrete evidence no matter what, so he could not pursue the matter further.
Only now did he know that there was such a high-end character in the palace who could cover the sky with one hand!
There was also the truth of his poisoning, the cause and the whole story.
He had suspected so many people before, but he had never suspected this old servant who had served him since he was young!
However, he had never thought that the one who had poisoned him was him, Jiang Cheng, who had replaced his twin brother!
Jiang Zhong, who had been truly loyal to him, had long been replaced by someone else!
However, there was a faint sense of relief in the bottom of His Majesty's heart.
After all, it was not Jiang Zhong.
It was not Jiang Zhong.
"The Board of Justice will not stop with the dead!" His Majesty closed his eyes and concluded the matter.
At this moment, His Majesty suddenly had an inexplicable feeling.
Perhaps the legend was true. The Nine Supremes were actually so powerful.
It was almost an entire country, half of the imperial court's traitors … They had prepared for a long time before they could really deal with them!
The pinnacle organization of the martial arts world, countless experts had worked together.
Countless traitors had worked together.
From the palace, to the royal family, to the civil and military officials; how much manpower and material resources, the right time and the right place, they had worked together from both inside and outside, and finally …
"The Nine Supremes!" His Majesty closed his eyes.
If the Nine Supremes were given more time, what would the outcome be?
Thinking of this, his heart ached.
There was a line in the letter sent by the Nine Heavens Dictum that comforted His Majesty's heart once more.
"The traitors of the nation, the source of disaster; their numbers are shocking and daunting, but once they are removed, it will usher in a brand new atmosphere. It's better to remove them early. Although it's painful, it can save lives. The Four Seasons Tower has suffered a great loss in plotting against the Nine Supremes, but it's beneficial to the nation to uncover so many traitors!"
"Most of Yutang's traitors are gone."
His Majesty's eyes shone as he thought of this.
"Most of them are gone …"
Thinking of this, he heaved a long sigh of relief. This was, indeed, great news!
While it was good news that most of them were gone, there were still one or two who were still hidden threats. It was just that … why had the Nine Heavens Dictum not acted on them until now? Was it because their status was too high? Too sensitive? Or …
Supreme Earth's family, were they safe? If it was possible, when would Supreme Wind reveal it?
…
When Yun Yang returned to the Residence of Yun, the boiling energy in his body had reached an almost uncontrollable level!
Emmie was already hopping with anxiety.
