Each and every one of them was an experienced martial world expert, a top-notch assassin who viewed death as a return home. It was true that they did not regard life and death as a trivial matter. However, under Yun Yang's hands, they had slowly gone from gritting their teeth to cursing loudly, to cursing viciously, to moaning in agony, to spasms and spasms, to being unable to utter a single word … Then, the cycle repeated until they begged for mercy and begged for mercy …
He crawled on the ground like a dog, automatically shaking out all eight generations of his ancestors.
There was even a fellow who had accidentally said a word of his ancestor's name wrongly when he was confessing and had to go through the process of life and death once more …
Even Fang Mofei and Lao Mei felt that under such circumstances, if the information obtained could still be false, then the entire world could only be an illusion!
"The Four Seasons Tower's influence in the Empire of Yutang has finally reached its head and gotten a clue!"
Yun Yang was deep in thought, a cold glint glinting in his eyes.
After such a long time, the battle of wits and courage for more than two years, and the recent rebellion of the Snow, Frost, and Sword; the attacks from all sides, from the imperial court to the martial world, and the alliance of experts like Ling Xiaozui, Heaven's Inquisition, and Dugu Chou.
The assassin organizations in the martial world had been muddled, suffering heavy casualties.
The entire martial world had become a piece of porridge, and five out of the five empires had almost been destroyed …
It was at this moment that the Four Seasons Tower's base in the Empire of Yutang was truly touched!
The most crucial figures of the Four Seasons Tower at the current stage were two people – Sir Bi and Wu Ying!
As long as these two people and the forces under them were uprooted, the Empire of Yutang could be considered to be completely at peace.
Yun Yang had a fairly good grasp of Sir Bi's arrangements and some of Wu Ying's materials.
However, Wu Ying's cautiousness was still beyond Yun Yang's expectations.
The assassins he had captured this time only knew that there was such a person on Wu Ying's side. They did not even know his name, identity, or any other details about him.
"How can I focus on other things and eradicate him in one fell swoop?" Yun Yang contemplated seriously, planning his troops and setting up his formation, but he realized that it was too difficult, or perhaps, beyond his capabilities.
"Since it's beyond my capabilities, don't insist on fighting both sides. Focus your energy on one side first, then think about the rest after defeating either side. As for the other side … just keep a close eye on him. I don't believe that he can escape from this inescapable net. "
Yun Yang quickly made up his mind.
Hesitation was the biggest taboo in such matters!
Since he couldn't take care of both sides, he would take care of one side first.
If he continued to hesitate, it would be hard to avoid alerting the enemy, and both sides would fail …
However, on the day when he was about to act against the core of the Four Seasons Tower in the Empire of Yutang, Yun Yang suddenly had a feeling.
Easy!
Yun Yang was puzzled by this peculiar feeling.
During this process, he'd clearly experienced untold hardships and countless narrow escapes. It could be said to be hair-raising.
But why did he think that it was "easy" at the last moment?
Isn't this too inconceivable?
If it had been slightly more difficult … I'm afraid that my soul would have long dispersed!
"Tonight, after midnight, we will begin the operation!"
…
Late at night.
In Sir Bi's residence.
In the study.
A chessboard was filled with black and white pieces. Both sides were engaged in a fierce battle.
Sir Bi stared at the chessboard, a black piece in his hand. His brows were locked in a frown as he pondered, unable to make a move.
"I can't go anywhere … There's no way out in all directions …"
"I can't do anything even if I force myself to … There's no way to fight back …"
"This, what should we do?"
His lean face was filled with contemplation and worry.
At this moment, the silhouette of a person suddenly swayed, and there were suddenly three more people beside him.
Three people who looked exactly the same.
To be more precise, there were four people who looked exactly the same.
The three people who had appeared out of nowhere were exactly the same as Sir Bi!
Just by looking at their faces and bodies, they were almost exactly the same. There was no difference at all. Even their spirits and temperament were exactly the same. There was no difference at all.
Sir Bi did not seem to notice the three people who had appeared out of nowhere. He was still focused on the chessboard, deep in thought without any distractions in his mind.
From time to time, he would collect the chess pieces one by one and place them down again. He repeated this process over and over again.
Time passed bit by bit. Ever since the three people arrived, they had been standing behind him, motionless and silent. They didn't even make a sound. However, the anxiety on their faces was becoming more and more indescribable, and more and more intense.
After a long, long time, it was almost midnight.
Finally, one of them could not help but speak up, "Boss, you should make a decision."
Sir Bi stared at the chessboard on the table and said faintly, "What decision … It's taboo to act recklessly in such a situation where there's no chance of survival. If you don't have a sufficient countermeasure, coming up with a decision … will only be courting death by hastening your own defeat."
"Sigh!"
The three people behind him stomped their feet anxiously. "I'm not talking about that."
"It's the same." Sir Bi continued to stare at the chessboard, his voice calm and leisurely. "The chessboard and reality are the same. How can there be victory when one is confused and acts recklessly?"
He lifted his head slowly to look at the white piece in his palm and said faintly, "Life is like a chessboard and the chessboard is like life. I am this white chess piece. Right now, I'm at this delicate juncture."
"I can't advance, I can't retreat, I can't go left, I can't go right. A step forward is a mountain of blades and a sea of fire; a step back is a bottomless abyss. Staying where I am and watching the changes quietly, dealing with the changes with inaction might be the best choice. It's a pity that the game has already begun and it's hard to stop. It's all because I'm already in the game! "
Sir Bi sighed softly as he looked at the white chess piece affectionately with two fingers.
"Big brother, you're being too pessimistic. This young brother thinks that while the current situation is dire, we still have room to maneuver, whether we attack or defend. Even if it doesn't work and we can't do anything, who in this world can stop us from being carefree when the few of us leave Tiantang City? Even if Yutang's military forces surround us, it won't be difficult for the four of us to fight our way out and break out of the siege with our abilities. Being in the game is only a limitation. Tiantang City is the limitation. As long as we leave Tiantang City, we'll be out of the game. Once we're not in the game, it doesn't matter whether it's the beginning or the end! "
Another person said, "But, big brother, please make a decision soon."
