The Four Seasons Tower has wronged all of you, using you in the matter of God's Bone. So what if your fate is rough and bleak?
Back then, eight of my brothers died. Among the murderers, the people we protected with all our hearts were betrayed and contributed to the process. Can you all understand how cold my heart is?
Now, it's far from enough. There will be more to come. Continue to taste the pain of being helpless and helpless!
"Young Master Yun." Venerable Lord Snow stood up slowly, his snow-white robes fluttering despite the absence of wind. "Thank you, Young Master Yun, for your righteousness and for bringing us the last message of our brothers. However, I still want to ask one more thing. It's not that I'm doubting Young Master Yun. I hope Young Master Yun won't mind. "
Yun Yang's expression turned sorrowful at once as he said bitterly, "Please ask, Venerable Lord Snow. Although we've never been on good terms before, we've crossed paths after all. Venerable Lords are true to their words and the past is still fresh in our minds. A good deed is a good deed, and it's only right that it comes to this … Regarding Venerable Lord Ice, I'll tell you everything I know. This is my last respect to a strong man and also an explanation for the past. "
"Thank you, Young Master Yun, for your kindness!"
Venerable Lord Snow said slowly in a low voice.
"We want to know, how did Hong Zhan kill our brothers? Was Young Master there? "
Venerable Lord Sword and Venerable Lord Frost looked over at the same time.
"Speaking of which, this is really a coincidence. I happened to be there at the right time and witnessed the incident with my own eyes. Due to some reasons, I had to leave the city to settle some matters …" Yun Yang brushed past his own matters vaguely.
Yun Yang had caused quite a commotion these few days, almost everyone knew about it. Naturally, the three Venerable Lords knew about it as well, but they were not in the mood to care about what Yun Yang had left the city for. There was only one thing they were concerned about.
"At the time, I went to a more secluded hill and found that someone was paying respects there … I was surprised by the weather and the situation. When I went over to take a look, I was surprised to find that it was Venerable Lord Ice. Venerable Lord Ice was already severely injured then!"
Venerable Lord Snow sighed sadly.
"That should be the cenotaph that Ice had built for his son. When Ice caused the destruction of his family, he didn't even get his son's belongings. Only the gold and silver that his son had given him when he left Tiantang City was left … he buried it there. I even worked with him on this matter … "
"As for serious injuries …"
Venerable Lord Snow and the other two had a sharp look in their eyes.
Venerable Lord Ice had to bear the burden of being hunted down by the Concourse of the Underworld and the Four Seasons Tower.
However, there was no need to mention this to Yun Yang.
"Back then … Venerable Lord Ice looked very sad … We met by chance and it was difficult to speak of our shallow acquaintances. I was just about to show myself and leave after a few pleasantries, but the leader of the Hall of Crimson Blade, Hong Zhan, came with his five subordinates …" Yun Yang looked pained. "I witnessed the entire battle. It was a pity that my cultivation base was too low …"
Venerable Lord Frost rolled his eyes.
He thought to himself, Your cultivation level is considered low?! With your current cultivation, even if it's not unprecedented, it's enough for you to look down on your generation. It's just that you'll never help us.
If you'd been willing to help Ice sincerely, perhaps Ice wouldn't have fallen in this battle!
Despite knowing this, Venerable Lord Snow still said something. Both of them were on opposing sides. Yun Yang's willingness to send a letter after the incident and not devour God's Bone was already a great favor. It would be unreasonable to ask for more!
"Both sides had a disagreement and a fight broke out. In the end, Venerable Lord Ice was severely injured but he also killed three of the other party's men. At the very last moment, Venerable Lord Ice suddenly called out my name."
Yun Yang looked confused. "I was quite confident in my cultivation base and thought that Venerable Lord Ice didn't know that I was nearby. Although I planned to show myself, I wanted to stay out of it because of the arrival of the people from the Hall of Crimson Blade."
Venerable Lord Frost harrumphed coldly, forcefully holding back his words.
Your cultivation base is impressive but it's still wishful thinking for you to hide your tracks from us, Snow, Frost, and Ice, in this icy environment!
"Then, Venerable Lord Ice charged towards me and entrusted me with these matters … then he turned around and self-destructed … and this … this …"
Yun Yang spoke with a confused expression, as if he did not know what it was.
"Self-destruct … how could it be …"
Venerable Lord Frost mumbled to himself.
Yun Yang still looked puzzled as he said, "I'm full of doubts about this as well. Although Venerable Lord Ice was severely injured, he could charge to my side and had the time to entrust those matters to me. There might have been a chance for him to break out of the encirclement … but why didn't he do so? Why did he fight to his death instead? This is really illogical … To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the fact that I always keep my promises, I would definitely not have made this trip. Honestly speaking, this matter is full of doubts, but the situation at that time was indeed like that. I have already said everything I have to say. If you still have doubts, then forgive me for being powerless! "
Venerable Lord Snow and the other two heaved a long sigh. As veterans of the martial world, they naturally understood Yun Yang's current thoughts, but they understood Venerable Lord Ice's thoughts even better.
Why didn't he escape?
Why did he fight to his death?
Why?
It was truly an inexplicable bitterness and tears of blood!
Putting himself in Venerable Lord Ice's shoes, standing before the grave of the son he had killed, he had been deceived to such an extent in this lifetime … he was severely injured and on the brink of death; he could not even return to the Four Seasons Tower that he had always relied on …
The world was vast, but there was no place for him to stand!
He was really disheartened to the extreme. He really … didn't want to live anymore.
"Is Hong Zhan still alive?" Venerable Lord Snow asked coldly.
"He's probably the only one who's completely intact in that battle!" Yun Yang said, "Among his five subordinates, three died and two were severely injured. Even the two who survived are half-dead … Forgive me for being frank, but just by looking at the battle, I can only feel that Hong Zhan's cultivation base and combat power are much higher than Venerable Lord Ice's. Perhaps … this is the main reason why Venerable Lord Ice resorted to such an extreme tactic?"
Venerable Lord Snow gritted his teeth and said, "The leader of the Hall of Crimson Blade, of course, his cultivation base is powerful. His reputation is well-deserved."
His chilling laughter was laced with indescribable venom. Yun Yang, an outsider, could not help but shudder when he heard it.
"We thank Young Master Yun once again for your letter." Venerable Lord Snow stood up and walked to the door, speaking hoarsely, "The three of us brothers owe Young Master Yun a great favor. If there's a chance in the future … we'll definitely repay you. We won't go back on our words."
There was a sense of kindness in his words, but at the same time, he was also asking the guest to leave.
Yun Yang stood up in understanding and said, "I didn't let you down after all. I should take my leave now. Three Venerable Lords, please restrain your grief. After all, the deceased has passed away … "
Venerable Lord Snow waved his hand tiredly, his expression weary. "Go …"
"Farewell."
…
Yun Yang turned and walked out of the inn. He stood in the hall for a while but did not hear any movement from the room. It was as if there was no living person inside.
Yun Yang was silent for a moment before he finally left.
He went straight to Yang Botao's and his wife's graves.
"Yang Botao, the grudge of life with your family has come to an end just like that. Don't worry, your youngest son … will be fine. "
Yun Yang turned and left.
On the same night.
Tiantang City was suddenly in a state of turmoil. Blood rained everywhere, and everything was dyed red.
The three secret bases that the Hall of Crimson Blade had set up in Tiantang City were suddenly ambushed. The three attackers charged in and killed every living thing that could breathe like they were chopping vegetables.
They had killed every living thing in sight, even the precious mystical beasts in the base, the dogs that guarded the door, and the chickens and wild cats that were foraging nearby had been decapitated as well!
It was truly a massacre that left no one alive!
Although this massacre was extreme, it was still considered a Jianghu vendetta. Unfortunately, one of the three secret strongholds, as well as the eight people who were in charge of this place, had used some unknown means to set up their stronghold in the Fourth Prince's courtyard.
Even though it was the prince's residence, the three men were still fearless. They had suddenly appeared in the middle of the night and killed their way in.
Everyone in the prince's residence had been killed, including the three hundred guards, the army, the butler, and the maids. None of them had survived!
Such a shocking massacre had shaken the entire Tiantang City!
However, something even more shocking had yet to come. In the second half of the night, after the last Hall of Crimson Blade's base had been forcefully removed by the three men, a clear voice rang in Tiantang City's night sky like the roar of a dragon and a tiger.
"Hong Zhan! Aren't you known to be unfathomable? Why are you acting like a coward now? What right do you have to lead the Hall of Crimson Blade with such behavior? Come out and accept your death! "
Once the voice rang out, a large group of Yutang experts sprinted in that direction.
It was only a moment before the voice rang out again, "Hong Zhan! Come out if you're a man! "
He shouted three times in a row, but there was no response from the people around him.
When Yutang's experts had rushed to the top floor of Tower to Heaven Inn, where the voice had come from, they could only see more than forty bloody heads piled up amidst the frost.
They were all experts from the Hall of Crimson Blade.
Other than the heads, there were also more than forty blood sabers that had been broken into halves placed neatly on the snowy ground.
