In the past, he only knew of Mr. Nian, Three Hundred and Sixty-five, and Supreme Lord Spring Frost. During the time he fought with Supreme Lord Spring Frost, Supreme Lord Spring Frost was already extremely difficult to deal with and could be considered a top-notch expert.
Later on, with the appearance of the Five Venerable Lords, he knew that Supreme Lord Spring Frost's level was nothing much; the Five Venerable Lords were the true experts.
Today, however, he knew the reality, or rather, the truth. The so-called Five Venerable Lords were merely so-so; they were merely characters that could be abandoned at any time.
Then, what did the Four Seasons Tower's true core force look like?
Had they not appeared all this while?
Or had they long been living in the secular world with another face?
In addition, there was more than one Mr. Nian that Venerable Lord Ice had mentioned; there were many incarnations. Who exactly was he referring to? Every bit of information he knew gave Yun Yang a headache, making it hard for him to sleep.
"Who was it that created such a monstrous force like the Four Seasons Tower?"
Yun Yang had to admit that he was rather impressed by the sect's concealment method.
Since the beginning of time, to be able to develop a sect to such an extent …
The Four Seasons Tower was probably the only one.
And it just so happened that he had bumped into this family.
Each time his ability increased tremendously and he laid out a series of traps to cause the other party to suffer heavy losses, he would always be shocked to realize that the ability displayed by the other party was only the tip of the iceberg when he thought that he could fight them. Even though both parties had long decided that they would fight to the death, when they actually met, it would only be him who would die and the enemy who would not. He might not even be able to cause a certain degree of damage!
The disparity in ability between both parties was like heaven and earth!
The only thing worth rejoicing about was that he could vaguely sense the other party's strength each time before they actually unleashed their destructive power and evaded their attacks. Otherwise, he would have been long dead!
However, how long could such good luck last?
Another night had passed.
The turbulence that Tiantang City was experiencing had yet to subside; instead, it was growing more intense. Countless nightwalkers were flying in the sky above Tiantang City. It was still chilly at one moment, but after a while, the ghastly fog filled the air. Murderous intent filled the air and ghostly cries filled the air.
The officials in charge of public security in Tiantang City were so worried that their hair had turned white.
"Why are there so many top-notch experts in Tiantang City all of a sudden? Are there actually so many experts in this world?" Faced with such a situation, they could only let it be. There was nothing they could do but let the situation play out as it was.
It was never a lie to say that heroes broke the law with their martial arts. Jianghu people with high cultivation rarely paid attention to the so-called laws of the imperial court. They came and went as they pleased. Not only would they kill a few people to relieve their boredom when they were unhappy, but they would also kill a few people to celebrate when they were happy. They were really unreasonable, disregarding justice, disregarding the law, and disregarding reason …
"As the ancient saying goes, if one learns the arts of literature and martial arts, they will be sold to the royal family. Now it seems like … sigh!"
"It's said that many, many years ago, most martial artists were still proud to be able to be an official. The imperial court's official position was even more attractive to these people. However, no one knows when the forces of the martial world rose and unexpectedly suppressed the power of the secular countries. This caused these people to not only look up to the emperor, but also ignore justice and justice, only knowing how to commit crimes with their martial arts … The current situation is already the result of the great suppression and checks and balances of the emperors of the past …"
"I really don't know when this phenomenon can be completely reversed."
An official stood in his own yard, sighing to the sky.
"Sigh, it's no longer the era where the imperial power is supreme. The reason the martial world experts in the past complied with the imperial court was because they were still greedy for the riches and glory of the mortal realm. However, to these legendary figures, the so-called riches and pleasures of the flesh are no longer attractive to them. "
"Because for them, those are things that are easily obtainable and can be gathered and scattered at any time."
"The only thing that can tempt them now, or rather, the only thing they care about, is the pride of standing alone at the top of the world, looking down on the world, and even personal longevity and eternal pride."
The one who spoke was the official's wife. She held her husband's arm and said gently, "The current situation is no longer something you can solve. It's just that this world … is just too big …"
"Unless there comes a day when the world is unified once more, and the strongest person in the world uses all sorts of methods to suppress the forces of power in the world of martial artists to a point where they can't even breathe. Only then will they be able to restore order to everyone. Apart from that, the only thing we can do is to watch from the sidelines."
The official sighed, feeling speechless for a long time.
…
A gust of ghastly fog appeared out of nowhere and shrouded a secluded yard in an instant.
There was no further commotion in the small yard due to the sudden change. It was still silent as if there was no one around.
The ghastly fog swirled and a human silhouette quietly materialized. The silhouette spoke eerily, "A good friend has come to visit. I wonder if the person in charge of The Merciless Tower is here?"
It turned out that this inconspicuous little yard was The Merciless Tower's base in Tiantang City.
In the seemingly empty courtyard, a strange voice suddenly rang out, "So it is the Concourse of the Underworld's Ten Great Kings, King Chujiang, who has graced us with his presence. I wonder why King Chujiang has come here this time? … "
King Chujiang smiled faintly and said, "Is Hen Bieli not here?"
The voice in the dark said coldly, "Does King Chujiang think that there's no one else in The Merciless Tower who is qualified to speak to King Chujiang other than our leader?"
King Chujiang said, "I don't mean that. It's just that the main reason I've come personally this time is related to the life and death of both our establishments. I have to be cautious."
The person in the dark chuckled strangely. "The life and death of both our establishments? King Chujiang, you speak from the heart. The Concourse of the Underworld is indeed at the end of its rope while The Merciless Tower is at its peak. The line of life and death is as clear as day indeed! "
King Chujiang snorted and said coldly, "If The Merciless Tower knows this, then there's no need to say anything more. Farewell."
A chilly wind blew and the ghastly fog rose immediately. King Chujiang vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
King Chujiang was not interested in continuing the conversation as his warm welcome was met with a cold backside. They were all superb experts who dominated their respective areas. This bit of face was still important; there was no need for them to harass each other relentlessly.
The person in the dark sneered and said, "You're obviously at the end of your rope and have come to ask for help, yet you're still putting on the smelly airs of the world's top assassin school. Your father won't fall for it."
A few bootlicking voices came from the dark. "Vice leader is domineering indeed. We've suffered at the hands of the Concourse of the Underworld for so long. Today, we can finally hold our heads up high. We're going to sit back and watch them fall. Only The Merciless Tower is at its peak and will never fade."
"That's right, that's right. King Chujiang has always been arrogant and has never taken anyone seriously. Now that he's been rebuked by the vice leader, he doesn't dare to do or say anything. How delightful!"
"Vice leader, you've made us brothers proud!"
The vice leader snorted. When everyone was almost done with their bootlicking, he said, "Stop the bootlicking. I won't fall for it. Quickly, hide yourselves and wait for the leader's orders."
"Yes."
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, a bright sword light appeared out of nowhere. An indescribable killing intent enveloped the entire courtyard in an instant.
It was also at this moment that the long swords on the waists of The Merciless Tower's assassins clanged at the same time.
A voice that was as cold as a sword said, "Wait for your leader's orders? Hehe, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for it in this lifetime! "
