Yun Yang was dumbfounded.
What was going on? What was going on? What was the eastern border army doing here?
Both of them approached swiftly.
"Greetings, Lord Supreme Cloud!" The sentinel kneeled down to pay his respects with eyes filled with fervor, his voice loud enough to tear through the clouds.
The entire base was plunged into an unprecedented commotion after this announcement.
Then, a deafening horn sounded.
The Generals Assembly Drum sounded as well. Within moments, Fu Baoguo had led more than four hundred military officers of various ranks and swarmed over.
Arriving at the camp gate, these four hundred men turned around and knelt in unison. "This lowly general, Fu Baoguo, has led four hundred men of the eastern border to pay our respects to Lord Supreme Cloud. May Lord Supreme Cloud prosper and vanquish all those who dare!"
"Brothers, please rise," Yun Yang said hurriedly. "Our brothers have shed blood on the battlefield and fought hundreds of battles for Yutang. How can I be worthy of such a grand greeting from you brothers? Please don't kill me. Rise quickly, all of you rise!"
"It's just that … Marshal Fu, what are all of you up to? Why are all of you here? Are you giving up on the eastern border and the Fortress of Resilience? "Yun Yang asked in an odd tone.
Fu Baoguo laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lord Supreme Cloud. We've come to Tianxuan Cliff under His Majesty's order. His Majesty has given a death order. Even if all four hundred thousand men of the eastern border die here, Lord Supreme Cloud is not allowed to meet with any mishap. We must protect Lord Supreme Cloud! "
Yun Yang was shaken. "Is this true?"
Fu Baoguo replied, "How can it not be true? Otherwise, this lowly general wouldn't have dared to act on his own. Of course, before I left, I've laid down a strategy to guard the place. Even if Dongxuan were to invade, it's impossible for them to breach the Fortress of Resilience in a short amount of time. Besides, Dongxuan has just been defeated and Yutang has the power to unify Tianxuan. Dongxuan probably won't dare act recklessly."
Yun Yang heaved a deep sigh. "I'm grateful for His Majesty's hospitality, but … there's no need for this. Marshal Fu, this duel with the Four Seasons Tower is within the martial world's grudge. There are countless hidden reasons within. I'm not saying that all of you can't help me here, but … it's not necessary. "
Fu Baoguo replied, "The imperial edict has been issued, this lowly general dare not defy it. Please do not make things difficult for this subordinate, Lord Supreme Cloud."
What a beautiful way to put it. 'I'm carrying the imperial edict. If you don't let me help you, you're asking me to defy the edict and die. How could you do this? Even if you're Supreme Cloud, you can't do this!'
Yun Yang could not help falling silent, knowing the truth behind the other party's words. Looking at the fanatical and determined expressions of the people around him, how could he not know that it was useless to persuade them? A surge of warmth flowed from the bottom of his heart, his emotions surging.
It was beyond Yun Yang's expectations that the emperor would issue such an order.
Four hundred thousand soldiers were guarding Yutang's gateway, the Fortress of Resilience. The position was of utmost importance, but the emperor had actually given such a resolute order – he would rather give up the gateway and put the empire at risk to protect himself!
Strictly speaking, this was actually a random order. However, the eastern line's defenders just happened to accept the order and came over happily. They all displayed a will that didn't care about death. It couldn't be said that this was not absurd!
In spite of this, when it came to Yutang's God, the Nine Supremes' think tank, Supreme Cloud, Yun Yang, it was a win-win situation!
"Since the emperor has decreed so, Yun Yang shall not make things difficult for Marshal Fu. However, I still have a request. "
"Lord Supreme Cloud, please speak. I will do my best."
"In order to avoid any accidental injuries during the battle, General Fu, please give the order for all the troops to retreat 20 li according to the original formation. After the battle breaks out, if there are any major movements, retreat at least another 20 li at the right time!"
Fu Baoguo thought about it and said, "Sure. Baoguo will definitely wait for the right opportunity. I won't sacrifice myself for nothing."
"Thank you very much, Marshal Fu."
"Lord Supreme Cloud, please take care. You are Yutang's sky!"
Following Fu Baoguo's military order, Yutang's eastern frontline army retreated in unison. There was not a hint of chaos in their movements. Amidst their movements, they roared in unison, "Lord Supreme Cloud will win! Lord Supreme Cloud will win! "
Hundreds of thousands of people cheered in unison, their voices surging into the sky and tearing the clouds apart. The sky changed color as the wind blew and the clouds surged.
Yun Yang strolled leisurely into the mountain gate of Mount Tianxuan, stepping onto the winding path that had appeared countless times in his dreams. Even the moss on the rocks was so familiar to his eyes.
Yun Yang plucked a stalk of grass from the side of the road and placed it before his eyes. There were faint red patterns on the stalk of grass, as if the blood of his brothers that day had not completely dissipated but had merged into the grass and trees of this mountain.
"I'm here …" Yun Yang said softly, "This grudge has been going on for almost three years. Brothers, are you all impatient from waiting? "
A faint voice rang out slowly, "Are your brothers impatient from waiting for Lord Supreme Cloud to descend to the underworld to ask them personally? But we are indeed impatient from waiting."
Yun Yang lifted his head to look at a silhouette floating among the clouds and said with a smile, "Perhaps all of you are tired of living … Can I understand it this way?"
The silhouette in the clouds smiled faintly and said, "Who was the one who set this challenge and who was tired of living? Everyone knows it very well. Different people have different opinions, that's all."
Yun Yang laughed and said in a chilling tone, "Where's Mr. Nian? Is he here? "
The person in the clouds smiled faintly. "Today's battle is crucial. Of course the leader is here. He will fulfill Lord Supreme Cloud's last wish."
Yun Yang's voice spread slowly and uncontrollably. "Mr. Nian, why don't we have a talk before the final battle? I believe that you have a lot of questions in your heart as well. I'm not the only one, there are many things that I don't understand as well. I want to clarify everything. "
A moment later.
An elegant voice that was tinged with a hint of a smile rang out from the top of the mountain. "Of course, I dare not ask. Since Lord Supreme Cloud is in the mood, I shall accompany you. Why don't we have a talk at the top of the mountain? "
The elegant voice paused and continued, "There's another Residence of Nine Supremes at the top of this mountain. I believe Lord Supreme Cloud won't forget about it. Let's talk there and let the spirits of the Nine Supremes hear the whole story. This way, be it the realm of the living or the realm of the dead, everyone can understand the truth. They can leave with no regrets and stay with no doubts. Isn't that great? "
Yun Yang's eyes glinted with deep hatred as he said, "Very well. I have the same intention. It's a deal."
Once he finished speaking, he ascended the stairs in a leisurely manner.
Ji Lingxi, who was by Yun Yang's side, had already mustered her lifetime's cultivation base. A vast aura that was strong enough to look down on the world echoed in the forest.
With her current formidable cultivation base and thick deific consciousness, she had long sensed that there were more than twenty superb experts lying in ambush on this small mountain top!
Each of them was at a similar level to Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou!
Such a lineup was simply terrifying!
What kind of people were Yun Yang's enemies? Why were they so strong?
