Seeing that Venerable Lord Snow was still gritting his teeth in contemplation, Yun Yang smiled and said, "I shouldn't disturb Venerable Lord Snow's deliberation, but time is really running out. Venerable Lord Snow, you have to make up your mind as soon as possible. Right, the compensation for the Four Seasons Tower's damage to the Yun Family's residence cannot be omitted. The Residence of Heavenly Clouds is the head of Yutang's noble families. Their treasures have been plentiful over the years. Now that it's all destroyed, when my father returns, I won't be able to explain myself! "
Venerable Lord Snow gritted his teeth so hard that they almost fell off. He cursed in his heart, "What the hell are you talking about? The previous three conditions were already outrageous, and now you're asking for a mile after being given an inch. What compensation for the destruction of the Residence of Heavenly Clouds? How fortunate must your father be to have such a family-minded son?"
However, Yun Yang's words tugged at Venerable Lord Snow's heartstrings. There was not much time left!
"Alright, three conditions it is!" Venerable Lord Snow swallowed his anger. "First, hand over the antidote!"
"No, it's four conditions now. You've been hesitating for too long!" Yun Yang was unruffled. Now that the other party had expressed their intention to submit, he could easily stir up trouble.
Venerable Lord Ice moved closer to Venerable Lord Snow's ear and whispered, "Why do we have to be so humble? We can totally capture their people as hostages. If they don't give us the antidote, we'll kill a few of them first and then a few more. Let's see how hard that brat's heart can be … Wouldn't it be easier to exchange for the antidote?"
Venerable Lord Snow sighed. How could he not know of such a method and not have thought of it?
But the problem was … this group of people were already at the end of their rope, and they only had the antidote as their last hope. Once it was given out, they would immediately become lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and their lives would be thrown away. With this as the premise, how could they care about how many people died?
Yun Yang, in particular, was not a ruthless character who could be pushed to the brink of death!
If it were not so, why would this child help Lei Dongtian to fight against the Four Seasons Tower? Even when Lei Dongtian was defeated, he did not give up and stood by the tower from the beginning to the end. How could a few lives sway such a person?
Venerable Lord Snow had long seen through the situation.
Rather than doing useless work, it was better to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Yun Yang smiled and said, "Has Venerable Lord Ice given Venerable Lord Snow a good idea? I wonder if Venerable Lord Snow will capture our people to exchange for the antidote? This idea is really not bad. This Yun has always been loyal to his friends, so there really is a high chance that he will give in! "
Venerable Lord Ice lifted his head abruptly, his eyes wide. "How did you know?"
Yun Yang snorted. Look at how sneaky you are, it's almost as if your intentions are written all over your face. Is it that hard to guess?
Venerable Lord Snow took a deep breath and said, "There is no need to complicate matters. I promise to agree to all your conditions. However, I want to see the antidote first!"
Yun Yang smiled and said, "Venerable Lord Snow must be joking. How is that possible?"
The antidote was the only life-saving straw that Yun Yang had. How could he take it out so easily? If he did, it would be akin to giving it to the enemy for free and allowing them to massacre him!
Venerable Lord Ice had just finished treating his wounds and said angrily, "Yun, don't go overboard!"
Yun Yang snorted and said, "Venerable Lord Ice, being retarded is an illness. Don't hide it for fear of treatment! If you don't know how to speak, or if you really can't see the situation before you, it's best that you shut up! The situation before us is obvious. Only if you show your sincerity first, then this deal will be possible. If we go back on our words, you can kill us anytime. However, if we give out the antidote first, who will guarantee our safety? The Five Venerable Lords may be reputable, but the promise … it's laughable. "
Venerable Lord Ice was infuriated by Yun Yang's words. Ever since he had met Yun Yang, he had failed to catch up to him, he could not defeat him in a battle of sabers, and now that they were engaged in a verbal battle, the disparity in strength was even greater. He was not an opponent of the same weight class. However, Venerable Lord Snow snorted but was not enraged. It was obvious that he felt that Yun Yang's words were reasonable.
In fact, Venerable Lord Snow had indeed thought of reneging on his promise once the antidote was in his hands. After all, the other party would never have the ability to escape from their grasp!
However, Yun Yang had long been prepared. This path was no longer viable.
"Besides … even if it's just buying a bunch of vegetables, it's only proper to hand over the money and the goods at the same time!" Yun Yang rolled his eyes and said, "It's such a huge deal now. How can it be neglected? Therefore, a heaven's oath is a must, at the very least!"
Yun Yang watched as Venerable Lord Snow made the oath and obtained the recognition of heaven's will. He then smilingly collected a considerable sum of money – ten million silver taels!
Of course, Yun Yang did not care too much about the exact amount of compensation. What he cared about was the disgust and the interesting expression on Venerable Lord Snow's face when he fished out the silver taels.
Was he here for revenge? He was obviously a fortune teller who was here to give away the silver taels!
Was there such a grievous revenge? We are the Four Seasons Tower!
What happened to the proclamation of martial arts and the bloodbath of the martial world?
"The deal is done. Saving people is imperative. It's an urgent matter. Right, where is he?"
Yun Yang was in a good mood, naturally, he had to get down to business. After all, it was now Yun Yang's turn to be more concerned about Venerable Lord Sword's injuries. He could not allow anything to happen to this old brother of his. If he were to die first, he would have to be buried with him!
"He's at the Residence of Yun. Let's go quickly!" Venerable Lord Snow was extremely frustrated.
He had been threatened for no reason and had even been forced to make a heaven's vow. No one could stand it!
However, Venerable Lord Snow did not think that he had done anything wrong. He also did not think that letting Yun Yang go would cause too much of a loss to the Four Seasons Tower.
After all, in his heart, Yun Yang was only an insignificant character who had been involved for no reason.
Even if he was a citizen of Yutang and a noble of Yutang, he was still insignificant and unimportant!
The most important thing was only Lei Dongtian!
Even if he did not find trouble with Yun Yang, what could he do?
At most, everyone would mind their own business.
You stay in your Tiantang City and we will dominate our martial world!
If Yun Yang was determined to be the Four Seasons Tower's enemy and collude with Lei Dongtian, he would definitely make a move against the Four Seasons Tower first. By then, the promise this time would naturally be nullified and he would not let it go.
However, according to what Yun Yang had said, he seemed to have expressed his intention to escape.
As you wish then.
As long as you do not interfere with the matter between us and Lei Dongtian, we are actually not willing to be the enemy of an imperial noble.
As a martial world force, it was never worthwhile to be the enemy of a dynasty.
After all, the Four Seasons Tower still had a lot of business to do in the secular world. If the Empire of Yutang was determined to go against the Four Seasons Tower, the Four Seasons Tower would have to bear a huge loss as well.
Then, they would guard the Residence of Yun's door. As long as Lei Dongtian appeared, before the other party could make the first move, the four territories would be activated immediately. Would they still have to be afraid of the bastard escaping?
As the group walked back, Yun Yang naturally took the lead, increasing his speed to a relatively high level.
He had thought that the Residence of Yun would be destroyed, but he had never expected that there would be a day when it would return to its rightful owner.
Previously, it was only to increase the lethality of the White Feather's ability to protect themselves. Unexpectedly, it had produced such a great effect!
It was truly a miraculous claw, a godly claw!
Venerable Lord Ice and Venerable Lord Snow walked alongside him.
Bai Yixue carried Lei Dongtian while Lao Mei and Fang Mofei followed by Yun Yang's side. These people looked frail, their combat power less than a third of their peak state.
There was also Dong Tianleng and the other four men. Yun Yang's piercing glare had frightened these four loyal brothers of his into perishing together with their boss into oblivion.
Each of them shrunk their heads like quails as they followed behind with drooping heads.
As for the seventeen people from the four noble families, they breathed a sigh of relief in unison, following behind with exceptionally relaxed moods.
They had come with the intention to die, but in the end, they did not have to die.
The relief they felt was indescribable.
No matter who it was, no matter what the reason was, if they could avoid death or even complete their mission without any losses, anyone would be elated and elated. Furthermore, the young masters' gazes towards them were so warm, so close that they had never been before!
If their young masters were to hold the power in their families in the future, they would be his unshakable, loyal subordinates!
With such a loyal young master and a friend like Young Master Yun supporting him, how could he not make a name for himself?
It would be a joke if they could not stand out!
However, it was only when they returned to the Residence of Yun that they were all shocked.
There was a huge crowd in front of the residence's gates.
As far as the eye could see, it was filled with bright armor and surging killing intent!
Sabers, spears, swords, and halberds glinted coldly in the snow-covered ground, making one shudder.
There was a large number of disciplined troops gathered here. From a rough look, there were at least thirty thousand of them!
They surrounded the Residence of Yun so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.
The two people in the lead had white hair and beards, but they were like two tall and straight pine trees. One was holding a long spear, and the other was holding a large saber. They were old generals with solemn faces, and their eyes were filled with grief, indignation, and heaviness.
Who else could it be if not Qiu Jianhan and Leng Daoyin?
In the Residence of Yun that had long been reduced to ruins, there was a cold aura circling back and forth, filled with vigilance and threat.
Qiu Jianhan's voice was tinged with an almost uncontrollable anxiety, "Listen up, people inside! You've been surrounded! Come out quickly and surrender! "
There was no reply from inside, or perhaps they had no intention of paying attention.
Qiu Jianhan's expression grew darker. His worry for Yun Yang made him unable to control himself any longer. With a wave of his hand, he was about to order an attack!
Knowing that Yun Yang's Residence of Yun had been attacked and turned into ashes, Qiu Jianhan almost broke down on the spot.
After spending time together, Qiu Jianhan had long regarded Yun Yang as his own nephew. Hearing that something had happened here today, his heart felt like it was being torn apart, and it was difficult to suppress the pain.
He did not even report to His Majesty the emperor, but had used his authority to mobilize thirty thousand imperial soldiers to surround the Residence of Yun!
Do not target the culprit, interrogate him!
The old marshal was enraged and anxious. If Yun Yang had met with any mishap, he would rather perish together to avenge this youth!
No matter the cost!
No matter the consequences!
Even if he had to destroy the entire Tiantang City, he would not hesitate!
