"You may not know about this, Elder Yun. The current situation is just a stop-gap measure. The so-called Land of Dead Spirits also has follow-up measures. If Elder Yun is free, I would like to have a chat with Elder Yun to resolve this doubt. "
As he spoke, Lan Wuxin exchanged glances with Zi Yuanxiang and said, "Everyone, please stand down. Tonight, I will drink with Elder Yun and have a long talk. "
Everyone agreed and left.
In Yun Yang's yard, Lan Wuxin ordered a few dishes and began to talk about the current situation.
"Elder Yun has been in seclusion for a long time. I suppose you don't know much about the current state of the continent, do you?" Lan Wuxin asked.
"This old man has been away from the world of mortals for a long time. It is true that I do not understand the current state of affairs in the continent." Yun Yang sighed bleakly, "The world of mortals has long had nothing to do with this old man …"
"However, from what I can see, Elder Yun still cares about his homeland. His words earlier were directed at Ziyou's destiny and people's welfare. Regardless of the passage of time and the vicissitudes of life, his heart was still unwavering! I'm ashamed of the heart of an elder, "Lan Wuxin said.
Yun Yang kept quiet for a moment and said bitterly, "You think too much. This old man is someone who has transcended the mortal world, I don't wish to be tainted by it anymore. No matter what happens to the Empire of Ziyou, it has nothing to do with me anymore. "
Lan Wuxin chuckled.
At this point, he no longer had any doubts about the identity of the person before him.
"There is indeed a reason why our city has turned into a Spirit Severing World. There is also a way to deal with this Spirit Severing state. Once this matter is over, there will be a way to restore the Spirit Qi to normal. Everything is for the future of the nation, "Lan Wuxin said in a low voice.
"I'd like to hear the details," Yun Yang said calmly.
Lan Wuxin sighed and said, "Elder Yun has only recently returned to the secular world. I believe Elder Yun still doesn't know about Yutang's Nine Supremes?"
"The name of Yutang's Nine Supremes?" Yun Yang frowned and lifted his head to look into Lan Wuxin's eyes. "What Yutang's Nine Supremes?"
Lan Wuxin could not help sighing when he saw the bafflement in the man's eyes. "Those are nine demons."
"Devil?" Yun Yang was taken aback.
At this moment, Yun Yang was not acting at all.
It was Yun Yang's first time hearing from someone else that Yutang's Nine Supremes were demons.
After all, in the eyes of Yutang's people, the Nine Supremes were legends of the world. In the eyes of Yutang's higher-ups, the Nine Supremes were righteous men who had saved the nation and lives. Even in the eyes of most enemies, Yutang's Nine Supremes were heroes!
In the eyes of the Nine Supremes brothers themselves, the Nine Supremes were chivalrous, courageous, upright, chivalrous, and courageous men. Each and every one of them was!
As for the comment that the Nine Supremes were demons, it was unheard of!
"So, I'm a devil in the hearts of the people of other countries?" Yun Yang had a strange feeling in his heart. Being in the enemy's country and listening to the enemy's evaluation of oneself, this feeling was really … indescribable.
Lan Wuxin heaved a long sigh and said, "The past of Yutang's Nine Supremes is the real long story …"
Then, Lan Wuxin recounted the descent of the Residence of Nine Supremes, the Nine Heavens Demesne, the appearance of the Nine Supremes, and how they were slowly tortured by the Nine Supremes in the battlefields of various countries.
"Ever since Yutang had the Nine Supremes, the Empire of Ziyou has been at war for years without a single victory. I still remember the time when the four countries surrounded Yutang, millions of troops attacking Yutang at the same time, intending to use Yutang's military strength to finish the battle in one fell swoop. However, the Nine Supremes appeared, stirring up a storm, splitting the earth and collapsing the sky. The tables were turned in an instant. A battle that was meant to be a sure victory was swallowed by defeat! "
"All these years, the Empire of Yutang was located in the center of the continent and was often attacked by other countries. It was not easy, but the losses suffered by the four empires from the war were also devastating. In just five short years, the number of men who died on the battlefield in Ziyou alone had already exceeded ten million! "
Lan Wuxin's eyes were brimming with tears. "More than ten million Ziyou men were buried in the battlefield just when victory was within their grasp!"
"Until two years ago, when the Nine Supremes were suddenly ambushed by a strong enemy and were completely annihilated. The four empires heaved a sigh of relief and began to recuperate, preparing to take down Yutang in one go after they had recovered their strength and start their conquest for ten thousand years. Who would have thought that the Nine Supremes weren't really wiped out in that battle? There's still one left. "
Yun Yang asked in a low voice, "How can there be an unbroken egg when the nest is overturned? The Nine Peaks of the Mountain actually fell short at the last moment! Do you know which Supreme is the one who survived? "
Lan Wuxin snorted coldly and said, "Based on the official news and the elemental skills displayed by that person, everyone thinks that the surviving Supreme Wind is Supreme Wind. However, in our eyes, if it's really Supreme Wind back then, I'm afraid he doesn't have such an ability."
Yun Yang was struck by a thought and said, "Oh? What do you mean? Haven't you been saying that the Nine Supremes are all capable men? Why are you belittling yourself now? "
Lan Wuxin said, "Elder Yun still doesn't know that we've analyzed each of the Nine Supremes' actions, tactics, and every battle they participated in in detail. According to Supreme Wind's information, he possessed the ability to decide the outcome of the war, but he didn't have such a comprehensive view of the overall situation as he is now. His personality was slightly extreme, and his temperament was slightly inferior as well. "
"Such a person would definitely not be able to achieve everything that the current Venerable One has done."
"Based on this doubt, we've come to a conclusion after further analysis. Although this surviving Supreme has been displaying his ability using Supreme Wind's tactics, the true intention of doing so is to deceive others. In other words, he's definitely not Supreme Wind himself!"
"Since this person has reappeared, he's been meticulously uncovering the spies hidden in Yutang's Empire. He's been destroying the Four Seasons Tower's hundred-year plan bit by bit, and he's even manipulating the continent's situation step by step. Unknowingly, he's stirring up the world and manipulating Tianxuan's power."
"Up until this day, no one has seen this person's true face. No one knows where he usually appears, where he disappears, and where he goes. Each time, he appears and disappears like a shadow. "
"Such schemes, tactics, and tactics can only be done by the most intelligent of men."
"Only by weighing everything, preparing for a rainy day in advance, setting up an extremely strict route, and taking all unexpected factors into consideration, can it be done! This requires an unimaginably large calculation and an extremely meticulous mind! "
"According to our understanding of Supreme Wind, Supreme Wind doesn't have such intelligence, nor is he a wise man. As for the other Venerable Lords, each of them has their own victories, but none of them can be as comprehensive as this. Therefore, we're certain that the remaining Nine Supremes must be the Nine Supremes' brains, Supreme Cloud! "
Yun Yang frowned and said faintly, "Is this the Empire of Ziyou's suspicion? Or is it the suspicion of all the countries in the continent? "
Lan Wuxin said, "The higher authorities of our country have only confirmed this after many discussions. This matter is also secretly acknowledged by the higher authorities of various countries. Even the few people in Yutang's higher authorities — although they've said on the surface that the person who has appeared is Supreme Wind, I'm sure they've long known the truth! "
"The remaining one of the Nine Supremes must be Supreme Cloud! Only a wise man like Supreme Cloud, who is resourceful and calculative, could possibly escape from a death trap. Only Supreme Cloud could have such a meticulous mind. Only Supreme Cloud has the ability to manipulate the world's power and stir up Tianxuan's power without showing himself. "
Lan Wuxin spoke with certainty.
Yun Yang nodded inwardly and said, "If that's the case, the real purpose of turning the city into such a state is to deal with Supreme Cloud?"
Lan Wuxin was very impressed with the man's ability to deduce many things from one instance. He said with a smile, "Elder Yun is indeed experienced with age. You've hit the nail on the head."
Yun Yang replied, "What's so hard about guessing? If there's someone else targeted, what you've said to me would be meaningless. However, what does sealing off Zilong City have to do with dealing with Supreme Cloud? Are you all so sure that Supreme Cloud will come to Zilong City? You can even lock the time to be near? "
Lan Wuxin said, "Under normal circumstances, Supreme Cloud would never come here. Even if he did, he wouldn't be impulsive when faced with such a huge trap that specifically targets his cultivation method. However, if there's a special situation and he has to come, that's another matter altogether! "
Yun Yang frowned. "Special situation? What special situation? "
Lan Wuxin kept quiet for a bit and said, "One of Supreme Cloud's elders has fallen into our hands."
Yun Yang smiled faintly. "Good move."
Lan Wuxin flushed. "I won't deny this. We're indeed despicable and unscrupulous in our actions, but Supreme Cloud's elder isn't a kind soul either. This person has assassinated the higher authorities of the four empires multiple times and has taken at least thousands of lives. Since we've captured him alive, we should make good use of him and end the Nine Supremes' legacy with his life!"
