Looking at the crystal-clear bone that resembled jade, Venerable Lord Sword, Snow, and Frost were shocked. It was as if they had been struck by lightning; all three pairs of eyes turned round at the same time.
Venerable Lord Sword, who was meditating, widened his eyes as he spat out a mouthful of blood like an arrow, his face flushed red.
Even Venerable Lord Snow's lips were trembling, his face turning as white as snow. He lived up to his name.
Venerable Lord Frost shuddered as well. He froze on the spot, unmoving like a zombie.
It was a very small piece of bone; it could even be said to be extremely short.
If it were to be placed on a person's body, it would probably be a section of the human spine!
Yun Yang looked at the Ice God's Bone in his hand, his expression filled with reluctance as if he was reluctant to hand it over. However, he still extended his hand and placed the Ice God's Bone on the table with a soft thud.
The sound was extremely soft but it pulled the trio back to their senses immediately. Their gazes focused on the ice bone on the table.
"This is what Venerable Lord Ice entrusted to me before he died." Yun Yang took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, I actually don't want to help. But … as a fellow cultivator, I can't bear to refuse the final request of a powerhouse of the present age before his death … "
The three of them didn't say anything. They just stared blankly at the bone, staring at it without blinking.
"Before Venerable Lord Ice died, he had two and a half requests." Yun Yang said, "One of them is to send the Bone of the Ice God back, especially when he specified that the Bone of the Ice God should be entrusted to his brothers and not to the Four Seasons Tower. This is also one of the main reasons why I'm willing to fulfill his request."
Even though the Four Seasons Tower's four Venerable Lords had previously promised not to be Yun Yang's enemy due to fate, the Four Seasons Tower's stance had always been against Yutang. This was something everyone was well aware of. The four Venerable Lords also knew that Yun Yang was someone who valued brotherhood. With Yun Yang's current cultivation base and knowledge as a heaven realm cultivator, even if he did not know the origin of the God's Bone, he knew that it was not an ordinary item. It was of great help to one's cultivation. His willingness to return it was a great favor.
The three Venerable Ones trembled at the same time. Their eyes were filled with tears, and they were extremely sad.
"The other request is for me to tell his brothers to avenge him!" Yun Yang said.
Venerable Lord Sword panted violently, his throat producing a noise that sounded like he was pulling a windmill, extremely piercing to the ears.
"Who killed him?! Who is it? " Venerable Lord Snow's tone was devoid of his usual coldness. Both of his hands were trembling so much that he could barely clench his fists. He reached out with great effort to grab the Bone of the Ice God, feeling the icy aura firsthand. Tears finally flowed from his eyes like spring water.
Venerable Lord Frost's frosty aura soared into the sky as he turned his head abruptly. "Who killed my brother? Are you from the Concourse of the Underworld? "
This was almost the most direct judgment of the three Venerable Lords. The four Venerable Lords were renowned, but there were few who possessed such capabilities in this world. Even if they had such capabilities, most of them would be wary of the Four Seasons Tower's vengeance and would not actually kill them.
Only the Concourse of the Underworld had completely fallen out with the Four Seasons Tower. They would not rest until one of them was dead. Many of them had joined forces to attack Venerable Lord Ice, injuring him severely. It was reasonable that they would pursue and kill him.
Yun Yang said, "Although this person was also a renowned assassin in the martial world, he wasn't from the Concourse of the Underworld. That person was … Hong Zhan from the Hall of Crimson Blade!"
"Hong Zhan!"
Venerable Lord Snow let out a shrill roar. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Venerable Lord Sword stared straight at Yun Yang. "You had a total of two and a half requests just now. My brother … what was the half request?"
Yun Yang said, "This … this is a shame. Venerable Lord Ice had only left behind … a sentence that came out of the blue. It was … to let my brothers read my message first and then make a decision carefully. "
"It's just a random sentence. I don't know if Venerable Lord Ice didn't finish his sentence before he died, or if that's the case. That's why this third request is only this. That's why I said it's half a request …"
Yun Yang pondered.
This sentence was added by Yun Yang himself, but deep in his bones, Yun Yang believed that it was impossible that Venerable Lord Ice would not pass the relevant message to them, based on their brotherly bond.
However, Yun Yang was afraid that they would be in a state of panic now. What if they did not see the relevant message? Therefore, he had specifically reminded them here, using it as an opportunity.
As soon as he said that, the three Venerable Ones looked at each other, then at each other. Their eyes seemed to be in deep thought.
"Hong Zhan … Hong Zhan … Hong Zhan …" Venerable Lord Frost lowered his head, murmuring.
The resentment in his murmurs could not be washed away even with all the water in the river.
Venerable Lord Snow gripped the Bone of Ice God tightly, tears falling from his eyes like pearls from a broken necklace.
Raising his head, he murmured, "The five of us brothers have roamed the world for decades, spending more time together than apart … We've almost never been separated. Who would've thought that Saber God would perish some time ago? The brothers were heartbroken. Who would've thought that one more would be gone today!"
He closed his eyes and two streams of tears flowed down his cheeks. At this moment, wrinkles visibly appeared on his originally smooth face.
The hair on his head that was originally half black and half white had turned snow-white almost in the blink of an eye.
There was not a single strand of hair that was tainted!
His hair had turned white in an instant!
Seeing Venerable Lord Snow's senile appearance, Venerable Lord Sword and Venerable Lord Frost turned pale with fright.
"Snow!"
Both of them exclaimed in unison.
Venerable Lord Snow turned a deaf ear, but his demeanor was even older and more dispirited. He took a deep breath and sighed deeply. His tears never stopped, and there was a sense of disheartened exuding from him without any concealment.
Venerable Lord Frost and Venerable Lord Sword looked at Venerable Lord Snow in a daze, suddenly realizing that Venerable Lord Snow cared so much about the truth of God's Bone.
The impact of this incident on him was unusually heavy.
Perhaps, it could be said that Venerable Lord Ice's death had greatly hurt Venerable Lord Snow while the truth of God's Bone had become a reality, turning him into a hopeless despair. With these two things stacked on top of each other, Venerable Lord Ice's life creed had completely collapsed, just like Venerable Lord Sword's!
An outsider would not be able to feel such pain unless they had experienced it personally.
Yun Yang looked at them indifferently, unmoved from the beginning to the end.
He had never been a cold-blooded person, but looking at the inexplicable pain of Venerable Lord Snow and the others, Yun Yang was only elated.
Have you finally tasted what it feels like to see your dearest brother die?
How is it? Does it feel good? Does it feel good?
Have you finally experienced what it feels like to have eight of my brothers perish right beside me at Tianxuan Cliff all those years ago?
Can't you accept it just because one of you died?
What about me?
Who can understand my pain?!
