"Lord Supreme Cloud's explanation has enlightened me, but it's this friendship of life and death that has won me over."
Mr. Nian smiled. "Since we're friends of life and death, we should fight to the death today to end this battle of destiny. If so, why don't you tell me more about the Residence of Nine Supremes' secrets, Lord Supreme Cloud? I've lived my entire life and I've seen many things, but this is the first time I've encountered something so strange. "
Yun Yang flashed a mocking smile and said, "The secret of the Residence of Nine Supremes belongs only to the Nine Supremes. To put it more bluntly, I've mentioned the truth just now. Only the unique cultivation method of the Nine Supremes can activate the secret hidden in the Residence of Nine Supremes. Other than the nine of us, no one else possesses the cultivation method of the Nine Supremes. Therefore, it's useless for Mr. Nian to know about the Residence of Nine Supremes' secrets; it'll only add to your troubles. There are too many mysteries in this world that are beyond everyone's knowledge. What's the point of forcing it, especially now that the Residence of Nine Supremes has disappeared! "
Mr. Nian's expression changed for the first time. "Disappeared? Wasn't it concealed by Lord Supreme Cloud using a secret art and not revealed to anyone? "
Yun Yang smiled and said, "I know that Mr. Nian has always coveted the Residence of Nine Supremes. But now … it's already too late. "
"Too late?" Mr. Nian asked in a daze.
Yun Yang answered with certainty, "It is indeed too late. The Residence of Nine Supremes' destiny has come to an end. Such a divine artifact shouldn't stay in the secular world, should it? Besides … our paths are different. "
Mr. Nian smiled and murmured, "Different paths … we can't work together."
Yun Yang said, "That's about the Residence of Nine Supremes' secrets. There's no use in knowing more. It'll only disturb you."
Mr. Nian's gaze was cold as he said faintly, "No matter what, I've finally solved the greatest mystery that's been in my heart for a long time. I have to thank Lord Supreme Cloud. The Nine Supremes Dictum … What a Dictum of Nine Supremes."
Yun Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip. "The tea is not bad," he said faintly.
Mr. Nian was silent for a moment before he said, "It's a pity that the tea is already cold."
Yun Yang smirked coldly and said, "The words have been spoken and the tea has turned cold. Man proposes, but God disposes. God's will is always toying with us."
Mr. Nian smiled. "Lord Supreme Cloud, I thought you should be brimming with confidence when you took the initiative to propose this challenge. Why are you talking about fate here? With the current situation, it's almost certain that Lord Supreme Cloud has come to this duel of life and death with only two people. I don't know if he's blindly believing in heaven's will or if he's underestimating the Four Seasons Tower! "
Yun Yang's eyes were half-lidded as he said, "If Mr. Nian didn't believe in Heaven's Will, why did he imprison Gu Chaliang for so many years? During the battle at Tianxuan Cliff that day, the Nine Supremes weren't annihilated. Heaven's will has long been clear. This worldly matter, right and wrong, gratitude and resentment will be dealt with from the beginning. It's only right and proper. "
Mr. Nian replied indifferently, "I've understood Lord Supreme White Cloud's intentions since we first met, and it's even more so now. Lord Supreme Cloud is indeed loyal to the country and the people. He is the number one hero in the world. The so-called heroes are nothing more than this! "
"It's a pity that the Nine Supreme Tea … is gone from this world!"
Mr. Nian sighed with melancholy. "The Nine Supremes will cease to exist in this world as well. What a pity!"
With his arms behind his back, he walked out slowly and said leisurely, "Supreme Cloud, there are all the Four Seasons Tower's top-notch elites on this cliff now. A total of twelve inheritors of God's Bone, the Four Seasons Tower's brothers for the twelfth month. Other than that, there are also the Four Seasons' Messengers of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. And me, the leader of the Four Seasons, Nian!"
"The twenty-nine people here are the Four Seasons Tower's pinnacle combat power, their ultimate force."
"In other words, if you have the ability to kill all twenty-nine of us here, then there will be no Four Seasons Tower in the Tianxuan Continent from now on!"
Mr. Nian was already at the door.
Yun Yang asked quietly, "There won't be a Four Seasons Tower in the Tianxuan Continent? Do you mean that … there are other Four Seasons Towers in other places? "
Mr. Nian chuckled softly. "Perhaps, perhaps, there really isn't. The Bound of Universe … is a place that I've never set foot in! "
Yun Yang did not speak.
Mr. Nian's form vanished like a drifting cloud at the door. "Since the beginning of time, the four seasons of a year have existed forever. How can the Nine Supremes, who appeared by chance, compare to them? Supreme Cloud, focus on preparing for the battle. An hour later, we shall fight to the death and end our grudges! "
"I have no confidence in this battle, but I believe that you, Lord Supreme Cloud, don't have absolute confidence either. However, when it comes to the final resolution, whether it's your soul that wanders into the abyss or my death, neither of us will have any regrets. "
"If you behead me, I hope that you'll toast me and tell me your unspoken secret. If I behead you … I'll toast you as well. "
His voice faded away.
The tea table, teapot, and teacups that were made of flawless jade in the room were abandoned by Mr. Nian just like that, as if they were worthless.
…
Ji Lingxi had not uttered a single word throughout their conversation. It was only now, when she saw Mr. Nian leave and Yun Yang sit there in silence, that she could not help saying, "This Mr. Nian, if that's the case … he's worthy of being a dominating figure in the martial arts world. Whether he's good or bad in his actions aside, his demeanor and grace alone are already worthy of being called the pinnacle of this world."
Yun Yang said in a low voice, "Which one of those who can stir up trouble in the martial world isn't a peerless talent? The Four Seasons Tower has dominated Tianxuan's martial world for tens of thousands of years. Naturally, they've produced more talents. If Mr. Nian isn't exceptionally talented, how can he be qualified to lead the Four Seasons Tower? "
"At the end of the day, it's just a grudge caused by different standpoints. However, fate dictates that it's still an unsolvable topic. It's obvious that Mr. Nian and the Four Seasons Tower must kill me in order to occupy God's Grave completely and ascend to the position of God, an unparalleled achievement. I, on the other hand, must uproot the Four Seasons Tower to avenge my eight brothers! "
"None of what Mr. Nian said today was a lie." Ji Lingxi said, "I've been monitoring this with the Art of Frozen Heart and Telepathy. There's no doubt about it."
Yun Yang said quietly, "It's expected. Today's battle is a battle of life and death. So-called lies are completely useless at a time like this."
"Instead of forcefully contending with words, it's better to be sincere and respect this opponent of yours. Respect his own life and death as well. At this moment, he won't lie. "
"Do you have a plan for how to fight after an hour? They have the advantage in numbers. It's not a lie!" Ji Lingxi asked worriedly.
Yun Yang chuckled. "What's the use of more people, let alone twenty-nine? Fighting until the last person fell was good enough. The reason why I suggested it and Mr. Nian agreed to it is to settle our grudges in the purest manner of the martial world. "
"The final battle this time has to be settled in the martial world's way."
"The purest manner of the martial world is nothing more than … battle and life and death!"
