Yun Yang was deep in thought, obviously digesting everything Wu Ying had said.
The inside story was not small indeed. The Four Seasons Tower's foundation was still strong, but what was revealed was only the tip of the iceberg.
Yun Yang had thought of similar things and had experienced it more than once or twice. Although he was still not used to it and did not like it, it was the truth after all. He had no choice but to face it positively!
However, the outcome was still acceptable for the time being. It could be said that it was rather gratifying, because it could be confirmed that other than Wu Ying who stood before him and the traitorous Venerable Sword, Snow, and Frost, there were no more spies from the Four Seasons Tower in Tiantang City or even the entire Empire of Yutang!
In other words, the internal threat that the Four Seasons Tower had created in Yutang had been completely quelled!
Of course, this did not apply to His Highness the crown prince and the unfortunate third and fourth princes.
That was because these three fellows were actually all involved in this huge conspiracy.
At that moment, Yun Yang suddenly did not want to keep a whetstone for Bao'er anymore … His mind was filled with the thought of killing these three bastards one by one to vent the hatred in his heart!
Although Wu Ying was the biggest culprit behind the ambush of the Nine Supremes in Tianxuan Mountain, Yun Yang's vengeance would not cause much of a ripple with the man's temperament. He would not even feel the thrill of revenge.
A man like him who was like a walking corpse was already indifferent to life and death and had no desires. Even if he were to be tortured to death and tortured to death, what could he do?
Thinking of this, Yun Yang could not help feeling dejected and uncomfortable. Forget it, there were still the three princes he could target and Mr. Nian from the Four Seasons Tower. They would not have such a state of mind, would they? There was still a way to settle this score!
"No matter how many schemes you have devised, even if you have made a wrong move, Bi Zhongliu is still dead."
Yun Yang said faintly, "Actually, from what I can see, it's impossible for him not to die. Since he has done such a thing, this outcome is only a matter of time. Even if the Four Seasons Tower's higher-ups didn't decide to take his life and take away his vitality, or if he was unwilling to die, would I have let him go? That day, I had already decided to kill him. If he hadn't died, I would have killed him. Therefore, he had to die no matter what! There can only be one result. "
A ghostly fire flashed in Wu Ying's eyes as he said eerily, "Looks like the heavens have indeed blessed Lord Supreme Cloud. He didn't die in your hands after all. It's a blessing for both you and him."
Yun Yang smiled, a sharp glint flashing across his eyes as he said faintly, "That's right. He should feel fortunate that he didn't die in my hands. If he had died in my hands, he wouldn't have died so easily. "
Wu Ying's words carried a hidden meaning, but he did not understand it. However, Yun Yang did not conceal his words at all.
It was a direct confrontation between the two armies, with swords drawn.
Wu Ying turned his head abruptly. His will-o '-the-wisp eyes suddenly turned as sharp as the edge of a blade as they focused on Yun Yang's face. He uttered word by word, "Lord Supreme Cloud, do you mean to torture and seek revenge? Or perhaps, Lord Supreme Cloud is actually very disappointed that he didn't torture Bi Zhongliu? "
Yun Yang replied calmly, "With the intelligence system that you possess, you should know that torturing people like you who commit treason, murder the loyal, and ruin the empire is the most enjoyable thing in my life!"
"Hahaha … What a delightful thing!" Wu Ying guffawed, but his voice and expression were as cold as a snowy mountain.
Yun Yang's gaze slowly turned cold and sharp as he said faintly, "Marshal Wu, you've said so much. Do you have anything else to add?"
Wu Ying sucked in a deep breath as if he was about to explode, but he swallowed it abruptly and said, "Yes."
Yun Yang said faintly, "Then, please continue, Marshal Wu."
Wu Ying said slowly, "I'm not your prisoner. You don't have to use an interrogating tone to talk to me! "
Yun Yang replied coldly, "I thought that my words were polite enough. Marshal Wu, do you still find it displeasing to your ears? In spite of this, some words that were left unsaid would only become Marshal Wu's lifelong regret. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to see Marshal Wu here! Isn't that so? "
Wu Ying snorted and said, "But is this how Lord Supreme Cloud treats those who sincerely provide you with intelligence?"
Yun Yang replied faintly, "Marshal Wu's words are rather uncouth. Now that we know each other, whether I ask or not, Marshal Wu will still speak. Do you think that Marshal Wu won't speak if I humiliate Marshal Wu?"
Wu Ying suddenly guffawed, almost tearing up from his laughter. "Lord Supreme Cloud is indeed Lord Supreme Cloud. I'm impressed. "
"Forget it. Since you've said that we know each other, there's no need to say more. I've waited for Lord Supreme Cloud to come tonight mainly to ask for a favor from you," said Wu Ying.
"Hmm, Marshal Wu wants to live a little longer, right?" Yun Yang said, "Marshal Wu was indignant that he couldn't save Bi Zhongliu from death in time, so he wanted to live to witness the Four Seasons Tower's downfall on his behalf. With your eyes, you completed Bi Zhongliu's lifelong regret, am I right?"
"Yes," answered Wu Ying.
Yun Yang was silent for a moment, feeling his emotions rising and falling. His eyes unconsciously turned towards the dark sky that was already covered by the thick shade of the tree leaves. He did not speak for a long time.
After a while, he said softly, "The Four Seasons Tower was originally united, no one has ever been able to divide and incite rebellion. What I want to know the most now is why were you all so loyal to the Four Seasons Tower? Other than that, what is the reason for your rebellious thoughts now? "
He avoided the topic and went straight to the next topic.
Wu Ying was not the least bit surprised.
Hearing Yun Yang's question, Wu Ying said, "There's a saying among the Four Seasons Tower's higher-ups – come to the tower if you wish for immortality."
"If it's just the word 'immortality', I'm afraid it's not enough," said Yun Yang indifferently.
"Death is inevitable, the Four Seasons Tower has a soul."
Wu Ying said, "Even if a person is already dead, the Four Seasons Tower can still give him another chance at life."
Yun Yang was quiet. He thought about it and said, "If this is all, it's still not enough. At least, it's hard for the pinnacle of this world to be moved."
"After the ninth transformation, one can live a carefree life," said Wu Ying.
Yun Yang was taken aback and asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
"The Four Seasons Tower's Nine Revolutions truly means that as long as one has enough merit points, one can go to the Pavilion of Nine Revolutions to choose a Godly Art, an Immortal Golden Pill, and a Pill of Heaven's Path."
Wu Ying said, "As long as you consume the Divine Pill of Heavenly Way, you will be able to elevate your divine skill to the Realm of Initial Mastery. The effect is unimaginably great. Once you've stabilized your current realm, or even taken a step further, you can consume the Immortal Golden Pill. With the help of the pill, you will be able to cultivate this cultivation method to the Realm of Mastery. Once you've completed the cultivation of this cultivation method, even if you can't transcend mortality and enter sainthood, and become a deity, you will still be able to live freely for tens of thousands of years in this world. Your cultivation base will also be invincible except for a select few."
"What's more, when the time comes, those whose cultivation base is accomplished can even remove all the seals on them. By then, if you wish to live a carefree life, the Four Seasons Tower will provide you with the title of a foreign elder. You can do as you please. Compared to the removal of the restriction, the benefits won't be reduced. If you haven't used the fatal disaster that belongs to you by then, you can still enjoy the authority of the fatal disaster and the soul of the four seasons. It's fine even if it's passed on to a third party.
"All of this is witnessed by heaven's oath. Even the master of the Four Seasons Tower can't go against it. "
Yun Yang was hit with a sudden realization.
"I see. Joining the Four Seasons Tower, not only will one have the support of an invincible force, they'll also have the hope of immortality in front of them, not to mention the guarantee of immortality and the chance to finally leave the Four Seasons Tower and become truly free. Faced with such benefits, even the pinnacle of this world will find it hard to resist … No wonder, no wonder."
Yun Yang was deep in thought.
He had to admit that the Four Seasons Tower's offer was unparalleled in the entire world.
In this world, anyone who had money, power, power, and ambition would all want to live a long life; they would all want to die but not die; they would all want to be the pinnacle of this world; they would all want to live a carefree life for ten thousand years!
These were the four major weaknesses of human nature!
Moreover, such generous terms were guaranteed. Under heaven's oath, no one dared to go against it; no one could!
"The Four Seasons Tower is impressive indeed. What a generous offer." Yun Yang sighed and said, "But like Marshal Wu said, such benefits can only be enjoyed by those who have reached the highest realm."
"How could there be such a loophole in the Four Seasons Tower's arrangement? Don't you know, Lord Supreme Cloud, that not only will no one who is qualified to join the Four Seasons Tower be inferior, no one will even think that they are inferior to others? What others can do, they will never think that they can't do it, but that they can do it better! "Wu Ying sneered.
"Until now, there are still so many people who are willing to go through fire and water in the Four Seasons Tower without any second thoughts."
"Since there are so many benefits, I really can't think of why all of you would have second thoughts. You are like that, and so is the deceased Bi Zhongliu. Could there be some unforeseen event that has caused you to have other thoughts?" Yun Yang acutely noticed a key point.
"Initially, with the Heavenly Oath as a guarantee, everyone would be at ease. However, after the battle at Tianxuan Cliff that day … Hmm, to be more precise, after Lord Supreme Cloud launched his revenge, we gradually realized that something was amiss!" Wu Ying said in a low voice.
"Oh?" Yun Yang seemed to have grasped the crux of the matter, but he needed Wu Ying's confirmation.
"For so many years, it has been too long since anyone dared to set their sights on the Four Seasons Path. The last time someone threatened the Four Seasons Tower was Ling Xiaozui. Until now, there is really nothing in this world that can pose a threat to the Four Seasons Tower. However, since Lord Supreme Cloud launched his revenge, many of the Four Seasons Tower's higher-ups, including Supreme Lord Spring Frost and the two Venerable Lords, didn't come back to life. "
"It was still fine at the beginning. If it was only one, two, or three of them, perhaps their chances of survival had long been used up. Naturally, they wouldn't be able to survive. However, as long as one is suspicious, no matter how perfect the disguise is, as long as one is patient, one can eventually find something suspicious."
"For example, the seal on us."
"As a result, Lord Supreme Cloud's step-by-step revenge has been flawless and meticulous, but until now, no one has been able to find out where Lord Supreme Cloud really is or who his real identity is. However, has Lord Supreme Cloud noticed, or rather, suspected, that the exposure of many of the Four Seasons Tower's people is akin to sending themselves to your doorstep to be killed by you?"
"The process of your revenge can be said to be fraught with difficulties, but if one were to look into it, it can hardly be smooth. I don't believe that Lord Supreme Cloud didn't feel this at all. If you really didn't, then the name of the Nine Supremes' think-tank is undeserving! "
The will-o '-the-wisp in Wu Ying's eyes flickered.
Yun Yang was struck by a thought and said, "I do have this feeling too, but why?"
Wu Ying said, "Sigh, this is what I don't understand as well. So many people have died for no reason. The higher-ups have been clamoring to track down Supreme Cloud every day, to get to the bottom of it, but there hasn't been any major action! Why is this so? Is it just to let so many people die in vain after alerting the enemy? "
Wu Ying said, "That's why I can't die. I have to know what all of this is for!"
"I want to see the Four Seasons Tower fall."
"I want to live a little longer."
"However, Lord Supreme Cloud has found me. He can't let me go just like that, no matter what."
"If I want to stay here, I have to get Lord Supreme Cloud's approval," Wu Ying said honestly, his tone unperturbed.
Yun Yang said quietly, "Before I came here, the world is vast. You can roam freely, you can go wherever you want and live."
Wu Ying said faintly, "But I still want to stay in Yutang's Board of Military and continue doing my own thing. Only by staying here can my heart be at peace."
Yun Yang lifted his head to look at him.
Wu Ying said faintly, "I've completed the Four Seasons Tower's mission. The only brother who could touch my heart has died as well. Before I die, during these days where I'm waiting for the results, I only want to live as a citizen of Yutang or an official of Yutang. "
"Therefore, I wish to continue doing things for my country. That's all."
"If Lord Supreme Cloud doesn't agree, then I can try my best to escape and hide far away in the martial world. I believe that I can escape."
He looked at Yun Yang calmly and said, "Now, I only owe Lord Supreme Cloud a word. May I ask what you think of it?"
Yun Yang squinted, looking at the culprit who was speaking confidently in front of him. His state of mind was unprecedentedly conflicted.
He could feel the sincerity in every word that Wu Ying was saying.
There was not a single lie in his words.
Wu Ying was indeed a capable person. It could even be said that no one in the entire Yutang military could match his ability, let alone replace it.
What he said about wanting to do things for the country was sincere as well.
'However, can I not avenge so many of my brothers? '
In addition, what Wu Ying had said was also what Yun Yang had been thinking about for a long time.
The Four Seasons Tower's influence in the secular world had been destroyed by him one after another. It seemed difficult, but everything had been strangely smooth.
What was all this for?
Yun Yang thought that there must be a reason behind it, but now that he thought about it, there was no reason at all!
…
"Four thousand words today, two in one. He could not continue writing until this point. Should he kill Wu Ying? Should he die? Let's discuss this. " "..."
