Shui Wuyin was silent as well.
Only then did he continue to speak clearly.
"We can't afford to be careless now. I'm willing to believe in all the Nine Heavens Dictum brothers, that they're not afraid of death, that they're loyal. But the reality is … there are those who can't hold on, that's why nineteen of our brothers have died. "
Shui Wuyin sighed softly. "Actually, there were only seven people who gave themselves away in the beginning, and these seven people were all from the outermost part of the Nine Heavens Dictum. Their knowledge was limited. If they could keep it a secret, there wouldn't be any subsequent losses. "
"But they couldn't keep it a secret. Through them, their superiors were found out. The superiors couldn't stand the torture, so they found out about their superiors. That's how it turned into the nineteen brothers we've lost now."
"I've given strict orders since the first batch of superiors were found out. Then, I ordered all of them to lie low. That's why we've only lost nineteen. "
Shui Wuyin said coldly, "If I'd been a step later … I'm afraid I'd be in the Four Seasons Tower's hands now."
"That's the loss of thousands or even tens of thousands of lives. I don't want to bear this loss!"
Yun Yang said with a dark expression, "You don't have to explain to me. I understand your reason for doing this, it's just that I can't accept it at the moment. If it were me, I'd definitely make the same decision as you. "
He sighed softly. "It's a pity … for the nineteen brothers."
Shui Wuyin was silent for a long time before he finally spoke slowly, "Yes. After all, the martial world's methods of torture are much crueler than the public's. There are many people in this world who are unafraid of death, but there are very few who are unyielding. "
He said coldly, "Brothers … as long as they didn't seek death immediately, it's expected that they couldn't take it in the end. It's reasonable. I really can't blame them. The Nine Heavens Dictum's brothers are already the highest I've seen in my life."
Yun Yang was silent for a moment before he said, "I understand. Unafraid of death and unyielding have never meant the same thing."
Death, death, everything was over. As a martial world person, most of them could accept death calmly despite being afraid of it. But what was most unbearable was the endless torture that made it hard for people to even live in a situation of life and death!
At the end of the day, humans were just flesh and blood.
He paused for a moment before continuing, "The families of the nineteen brothers who have already been sacrificed … must be taken good care of. The Nine Heavens Dictum will be responsible for raising their children until they become talents, and they cannot slack off. "
"Whether they can or can't … we're all brothers of the Nine Heavens Dictum, it's the same in life and death." Yun Yang said in anguish, "It's not shameful to be unable to withstand the Four Seasons Tower's torture. If it were you or me, we might not be able to hold on until the end. "
Shui Wuyin replied, "I understand. I will make arrangements."
Then he asked, "But what should we do now? How do I continue to move? Now that the situation has reversed, our situation is extremely unfavorable! "
Yun Yang said, "The Nine Heavens Dictum doesn't need to do anything else. The battle against the Four Seasons Tower … is too high a level. Even gathering information is meaningless … So, what I mean is, continue to lie low, until … this matter is completely over, then we can talk about the follow-up. "
Shui Wuyin said, "It's over?"
Yun Yang said solemnly, "That's right, it is the end. The end means that either I die or the Four Seasons Tower is completely annihilated! To me and Supreme Cloud, the Nine Heavens Dictum's subordinates are no longer a help, but … "
Shui Wuyin kept quiet for a while and said, "They are indeed a burden … I've also realized that the Nine Heavens Dictum's help to you is getting lesser and lesser, almost negligible. They're really only a burden. The competition between high-level cultivators is indeed beyond our power."
Yun Yang was even more silent than Shui Wuyin, remaining silent for a long time.
After a long, long time, he sighed deeply and lifted his head to look at the sky, murmuring, "It's still possible to be of help to me, but if I were to do so … I'm afraid that among the nine thousand brothers of the Nine Heavens Dictum, less than fifty will be able to survive."
"Even … even including their families … this will be a famine of fifty to sixty thousand people. Wuyin, you understand. "
Shui Wuyin nodded slowly. "I understand. That's why I understand you even more. Why you've always been remote, why you've passed the authority to me while you've completely ignored it, almost completely cutting yourself off from the internal workings of the Nine Heavens Dictum … "
Yun Yang kept quiet for a while and said, "Whether it's the Nine Supremes or Supreme Cloud … they can't exist forever. No matter how worthy Supreme Wit is, there will be times when he makes a mistake. Once he makes a mistake, it could be the end of the world."
Shui Wuyin chuckled mockingly. "Especially when you're still worried about keeping the bow after you've served your purpose?"
Yun Yang chuckled and said, "I won't anymore … because this bow of mine can no longer be kept by anyone. There's only one reason why the Nine Supremes and Supreme Cloud can't exist forever. "
He said in a low voice, "Because Yutang is our own country. We can't be the source of chaos, that's all. "
Shui Wuyin said mockingly, "You're quite aware of this."
Yun Yang smiled faintly and said, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Of course I'm feeling uncomfortable!" Shui Wuyin said angrily, "You f * cking threw such a huge burden on me and even acted like you're going to leave at any time. What should I do? I have nowhere to go and nowhere to go, and I can't even go with you. Tens of thousands of people are counting on me. How can I be comfortable? You and the Nine Heavens Dictum's people are Yutang's people but your father is not Yutang's people. What do your own countries and contributions have to do with your father? Your father is willing to help you because of Ji Lingfeng, because of my Brother Feng! Do you really think that your father has noble sentiments? "
"You can leave after you've accomplished your mission, but what about the Nine Heavens Dictum's people after you've left? I can't give them official positions on the surface; they're not willing to turn into the martial world's underworld either. There's no way forward or retreat, and you still want me to be happy? Where's your intelligence? Supreme Wit? Bullsh * t Supreme Wit! "
In the entire Tianxuan World, no one other than Shui Wuyin would dare call himself a 'bullsh * t Supreme Wit' in front of everyone or behind their backs!
It was unprecedented and unparalleled throughout the ages!
Yun Yang kept quiet for a bit and said, "The fate of the Nine Heavens Dictum's people is indeed what I want to talk to you about. If you want to continue, I'll completely wash my hands of this. The Nine Heavens Dictum will only be held by you from now on, and will no longer belong to the Nine Supremes. On the other hand, if you don't want to continue, I can be responsible for finding another way out for everyone. "
