"So, while Dong Tianleng's request for help is fake, the props are real and there's a truth to it?"
"I think so."
"Hmm … the reason you made up … where did the legend of the Seventeenth Master of the Abyss come from?" Yun Xiaoyao's gaze grew sharper.
Yun Yang chuckled. "This legend isn't exactly a secret. Anyone who is knowledgeable would know about it. There are many records of it in unofficial history. It can be said to be the most famous legend and myth in Tianxuan Continent. "
Yun Xiaoyao stood rooted to the spot. After a long time, he said bitterly, "Child, have you ever thought that these two pieces of leather are real?"
Yun Yang replied, "It has to look real. Otherwise, would I have asked Dong Tianleng to guide the plot?"
"Doesn't it look real now … Hmm, doesn't that mean that you know it might be real?"
"This is not important."
Yun Xiaoyao heaved a long sigh. "Child … there's always a chance. I can only hope that you've handed over the fake one … Otherwise, you might have missed the most important opportunity of your life!"
"That opportunity can make you immortal, a legend of immortality, a legend!"
Yun Xiaoyao's regret was like the waves of the ocean, never ending, each wave higher than the one before.
"That's a story for another time." Yun Yang said calmly, "First and foremost, I am a human. As a human, I have my responsibility and my duty to protect. I have family, friends, brothers. There are unrequited favors and unavenged grudges. "
"Then, I am a citizen of Yutang. As a citizen of Yutang, I have a duty and a duty to protect. My country, my home, my people. "
"Then, I am still a soldier of Yutang. Protecting the country is my original intention."
"Only after I've done all these can I say what a cultivator is like. Only then can I have the right to say that I'm a cultivator with the potential to become an immortal. "
"So, no matter what I do, no matter what methods I use, I want to accomplish all these before I talk about the rest."
"I'm not boasting, nor am I trying to sell my feelings. This is what I really think and do, moving forward steadily. In fact, for the sake of my goal, I will even do some dishonorable things without any hesitation. "
Yun Yang answered honestly, "What's the harm in that?"
Yun Xiaoyao could only sigh.
"Now, let's talk about these two pictures. There's a 50% chance that they're real. There's also a fifty percent chance that it's fake. "Yun Yang said casually," If it's fake, it doesn't matter. If it's true … then I only have two in my hands. According to my calculations, we need at least six or seven pieces of this map to find that secret place. "
"I have confirmed this long ago. There is no doubt about it!"
"Let's take ten thousand steps back. Even if this dream comes true, no one has been able to gather all of them in the past hundreds of thousands of years. Even if I keep them and keep them for a long time, I don't know when I'll be able to gather them all. "
"If I can't gather all the maps, I won't be able to find that place even after 100,000 years."
"Since that's the case, I might as well use him as a tool … What's the big deal? Everyone in the world is after it, but I, Yun Yang, don't care about it at all. "
His words rendered Yun Xiaoyao speechless. He was speechless for a long while, stunned on the spot.
After a long while, he nodded and said hoarsely in a complicated voice, "Perhaps you're right. But you can't deny that you've already confirmed your future … Your future isn't here. Are you preparing for a rainy day, paving the way for the future? "
Yun Yang was silent for a moment before he said, "Paving the way for the future isn't so clear. I can only say that perhaps."
He grinned, beaming like the sun as he said harmoniously, "No matter what the future holds, what I want to do now is to do the right things and the wrong things during the time I'm in the Empire of Yutang. When I leave or when I die, I have a clear conscience. That's all."
"This is already enough."
"This is also my highest aspiration so far."
Yun Yang said, "For now, such a thought is great. However, when I think I've done everything and leave, perhaps I'll change my mind when I come back. "
"Because it's always been others who owe me. I'll never owe anyone anything, be it in the past, present, or future."
Yun Yang smiled gracefully.
Yun Xiaoyao looked at Yun Yang's smile, feeling a mixture of emotions.
After a long while, he said bitterly, "Perhaps, you don't owe anyone anything."
Yun Yang suddenly felt a twinge of bitterness in his heart.
Looking at the handsome middle-aged man in front of him, he actually felt an indescribable sense of emotion.
Perhaps one day, when he left, the entire world would owe him.
Only this middle-aged man in front of him, he owed him!
Right from the beginning, he had used him to conceal his identity as one of the Nine Supremes.
It had been going on until now.
However, he had never mentioned it, never mentioned it.
Recently, he had already suspected and even confirmed that Yun Yang was Supreme Cloud of the Nine Supremes, but he still did not mention it.
Instead, he had feigned ignorance as usual and helped Yun Yang the most!
He was not Yun Yang's father.
However, he had already treated Yun Yang as his own son!
At that moment, Yun Yang was stunned, rooted to the spot.
Yun Xiaoyao stood quietly for a while before he suddenly smiled stiffly and said, "It's late. Go to sleep."
Saying that, he turned to leave.
"Wait …"
Yun Yang called out subconsciously.
Yun Xiaoyao stopped and asked in a low voice, "What is it?"
Yun Yang was silent for a moment before he smiled bitterly and said, "Nothing."
"Good, sleep early."
Yun Xiaoyao strode out of the room.
The door closed.
Yun Yang was still standing in the room, looking at the closed door. For a long, long time, he did not move an inch.
"What I owe you … how am I going to make it up to you?" He heaved a long sigh.
Just now, he had the urge to take action, but he did not do so in the end.
Perhaps, this urge was the only compensation he could give that person – the most valuable compensation!
The Seventeenth Master of the Abyss!
The dragonhide treasure map!
Impenetrable!
Impervious to fire and water!
This series of explosive news pointed to a single location – Tiantang City!
The news spread rapidly in an extremely short amount of time, reaching everyone's ears. It was so unexpected, yet so captivating, that it caused one's imagination to run wild.
Yutang's imperial court reacted swiftly and had already issued a curfew at once, forbidding entry and exits.
However, the reality now was that there were very few people who left. Instead, those who were not allowed in by the officials … had all entered.
